Why I had my mercury fillings removed

In mild cases it may be a cause of fatigue but in serious cases can cause auto-immune disorders, infertility, psychological and neurological disturbances. Tom Warren is a case in point: Tom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 1983 and was told by his doctor that it might take seven years for his ‘incurable’ condition to slowly destroy him. Brain scans confirmed that his brain was effectively shrinking. When I interviewed him Tom was no longer sufferinfg from dementia. His brain scans had normalised and his mind is in tip-top condition. The real turning point came when he read Hal Huggins’ book on mercury toxicity ‘It’s All in Your Head’. Here’s what he told me: “I immediately knew this was right. Hal Huggins had found that almost all mercury toxic patients had rock bottom stomach acid. I had 26 mercury fillings.

I found myself a dentist and had them removed. The dentist ran a biocompatibility test, which I think is essential, and replaced my fillings with the appropriate materials. Within a month I was better, almost back to my old self. I know of one doctor who was diagnosed with dementia who got better within two days of having his fillings removed! Today most of my allergies have cleared up. I still take a handful of vitamins, minerals and other supplements – the ones you talk about in your books and newsletters. If I’m under a lot of stress my thinking processes can be a little foggy, but on the whole I feel well and my memory is good. I think it is criminal that the dental association and dentists continue to recommend amalgam fillings. They all well know that mercury is a poison and there are serious dangers associated with mercury fillings. The trouble is that no-one can admit it – the cost of legal liability suits would cripple the profession.”

Personally, I don’t think true Alzheimer’s is caused by mercury toxicity but I’m convinced that excess mercury can bring on dementia-like symptoms. If you’d like to know more about this read The Alzheimers Prevention Plan. The best course of action for those people suspecting mercury or heavy metal toxicity due to amalgams is to visit a dentist who knows about removing mercury fillings. Amalgam removal is available but obviously this can only be carried out by a properly trained dentist and is usually supported by a chelation protocol. This process provides your body with binding agents to help transport the mercury and heavy metals out of the body and makes sure that the heavy metal is not just displaced to another area of the body. Supplements should be used to help support your body’s natural detoxification process and help chelate these toxic metals out of the body.

Nutrients such as vitamin CWhat it does: Strengthens immune system – fights infections. Makes collagen, keeping bones, skin and joints firm and strong. Antioxidant, detoxifying pollutants and protecting against… can help protect the body against heavy metal accumulation, as can MSM (a form of sulphur), n-acetyl cysteine and magnesiumWhat it does: Strengthens bones and teeth, promotes healthy muscles by helping them to relax, also important for PMS, important for heart muscles and nervous…. Biocare’s Biomer is a high potency chelating complex designed by a leading pharmacologist and toxicologist to safeguard the body’s eliminative process.
