I had to have dental work done last month, an old amalgam had to be removed. I do not go to a holistic dentist because have never found one that is good. Anyway my dentist is a great dentist but sceptical about harm of mercury. Will probably need to have another old amalgam removed in the next year. What are the appropriate rememedies to use? Is it too late to take one for the last removal? At the time I took charcoal tablets, chlorella and a bunch of other stuff, but didn't think of homeopathy.
thanks - anet

GM always said that Sulphur will remove metals from the system. Low potency. Sulphur is often used for removing old drugs, so I'm sure it will remove old metals too.

I too was sceptical about these fillings ..........but had one leaking last year plus a mouthful of Lichen Planus for 6 months ......had filling changed to white and took MercSol
in just one week Lichen Planus had gone now I will have my others removed

Sulphur is obviously a good idea too

Consider also hepar sulph which is antidote to "abuse of mercury". n.b. modality > heat (opp sulphur)

I stupidly used hepar sulph in high potency during gum abscess forming (may have suppressed). should have used 6c. Am now waiting to have root canal work redone after 10 yrs, as dentist didn't go deep enough. Told i have chronic infection in space under root filling - had agony for 7 days about once a year for many years with abscess forming. going to use hepar sulph low potency & hekla lava. Also vit C bioflavinoids supplement.

n.b. broke an amalgam filling - old symptoms returned that day, constitutional had no effect for a full 12 months - effect of heavy metal toxicity, or dental treatment ? (antidotes homoeopathics)

Calcarea fluorata has helped nose mouth & throat symptoms greatly, which makes me wonder about amalgam fillings & dental infection, as calc fluor affects tooth enamel.

------------------

About the Merc Sol helping, with metal toxicity you can use the same metal in low potency to remove the heavy metal from the system. Read on the metal remedy in the Materia Medica and see it the symptoms are there. The remedy will be in the Latin name of the metal, so silver will be Argentum Nitricum, gold will be Aurum, lead will be Plumbum, etc. By the way, there are other metals in the Merc. fillings, too. And you can get metal poisoning by wearing jewelry, eating from metal pots and pans and silverware, so it is just a good idea to cleanse once in a while with Sulphur or by symptoms with other remedies.

Dead right ........worst metal of all is Aluminium

usually Stainless steel or glass cookware ok unless you are Nickel allergic

What I would love to know though is if its poss to entirely rid the patient of such sensitivity

Does anyone have experience using psorsa etc of restoring patients to original health and able to tolerate occasional contact with any dreaded metal they are sensitive too

Dear Members; 21 august, 1999
I am pleased to see that this most important topic is being discussed. I assume the discussion started with Anet's unclear question on august 19th. True the toxins are much more active after a fracture or dental surgery, but they are there all the time if you have amalgam in your body; you just don't recognize them as such!
I see that routinism is alive and well as I read the responses from Kescah and Davis. This can be excused in beginners and non-professionals but must be looked at as something other than homeopathy by professionals with training and experience.
One of the problems is that this is such a huge problem and one that causes a great deal of suffering and frustration. I state categorically that it takes YEARS to remove amalgam toxins from the body and brain (incidently, a favorite deposition site for this vile combination of metals!)and anything other than careful professional prescribing and case maintenance over the long-haul just won't cut it in my oppinion.
In manner of general comments to some of the statements from the past couple of days, I'd like to say that there is no substitute for taking the case and giving the remedy that is indicated. There is no such thing as the best remedy in......type of cases. If you do not give the "similimum", which means the individualized remedy that the case calls for through its unique and characteristic display of symptoms, then you are SUPPRESSING the case and it is better to relie on natural allopathic remedies such as vitamin C therapy as Asterias mentionedas well as others tahn to do this. Supppression makes the disease go deeper into the individual and renders them sicker. There are many adjuntive therapies that help in these cases but there is not room enough in this forum to go into them now. And on using Merc. sol., well that is extremely suppressive and I might add, increaasing the level of mercury poisoning! Mercury poisoning can occur from BOTH material and non-material preparations! It may SEEM that the case is improving, but in fact, you are suppressing the case.
Kescah is correct, there are other metals in "silver" fillings including: mercury, silver, tin, nickel and others, some very high up on the periodic table! The solution is not in theorizing, but in individualization. Bear in mind that the metal poisons are present, but the individual constitutional symptoms are far more important in choosing the remedy than deciding what may be causing them! Careful removal of the poisoning sources is a must, and should be done under the supervision of a pofessional with considerable experience in these types of cases. If the toxin levels in the bloodstream go too high you risk accute inflammations and septic states and even death. This is nothing to be fooled aroundd with and I strongly advise aaginst non-professionals trying to set up their own dental amalgam detoxification program!
Remember, symptoms are the language of the vital force and if you intend to use the tremendous power of homeopathy to help someone heal themselves, then you must be able to speak this language--no, to UNDERSTAND it! Symtoms are that language.
Thank you.

Rigidity has not ever cured anyone.
And a simple question, does not implement routinism, for others that the rigid.
Hepar sulf and sulphur cleans out metals from the liver, and hepar high in abscesses is correct use.
This is a start-treatment.
But that dont exclude the individual prescribing, and that several years idea, well, in my wue that do only exist in the unwise mind,as a excuse for his shortcomings, as it takes him years to find the corrrect remedies.( and sometimes as a perfect excuse to give hime a secure income over years, at the cost of the patients healt, time, happiness, and finance)!

Do I take it from this that its incorrect to take Alumina to antidote effects of Aluminium or Merc Sol to antidote effects of Mercury even when the materia medica symptoms clearly indicate this
