Oh this message just give so much hope. I had one removed last week, i was extra happy to have one less in the body. Buuuuut... last few days i felt so tired, sick, muscles pains, lower back pain.. its hurting and it made me upset. I already have health issues.. hope to feel better soon as possible.
+GreenBarbie5 Absolutely! Selecting a well-educated dentist is the key to all this. I spent two years researching dentists in my area before I felt comfortable selecting the one I went with. My dentist actually trained with Hal Huggins, which was what sealed the deal for me. But, even with the best of dentists, you really never know how your body will react until you have them removed. Some people feel amazing right away and others do have some side effects (ranging from mild to severe).
My sister had chronic fatigue syndrome and depression for years…she got hers removed and it all almost immediately went away…she also topped it off with a heavy metal detox
Oh that is wonderful news! It can be challenging when you already are dealing with health conditions and are not sure how your body will respond to the removal. So glad you both came out the otherside so nicely!
Your sister can reverse her MS by Dr Lonnie Herman in Florida. Treatment is costly but its worth the money. Dr. Lonnie can completely remove mercury and many dangerous toxins from the body very safely.
I had 12 fillings removed in Mexico......... no freezing at all. He drilled them out with a lot of water happening. I took a tablespoon of charcoal (activated) in water before I went in. I took another tablespoon that night with water and used the charcoal every day for the next 2 days. Any particles that were swallowed were attached to the charcoal, and I did smoothies with psyllium to get the bowels happening having 3 poops a day. Coffee enemas would have been a good idea too, but in a room with only a shower it was too hard to do and I didin’t have an enema bag anyways! I have no ill effects. They were big fillings! Had them 45 years.
So glad you had such a smooth procedure! That's great! We really don't know how the removal will affect us until we do it. I know folks who have had zero effects and I know folks who have had life-threatening complications. So glad you remained well! Thanks for stopping by!
@@doriataha8791 hello Doria, I am in Alexandria and recently had Amalgam replaced. The dentist used a dam, plus water, suction and a filter/fan was on during the removal. Replaced with composite. There are safe options in Egypt, try to google a safe option near you. Might have to travel a bit.
@@melindad.217 hello, I hope everything ok with you.. I searched in the internet for the clinic address or mobile number and I couldn't find anything... Can I ask you please to attach the clinic number or their website
I believe it! I've been learning a lot more about medical tourism recently. It's much cheaper in places like Mexico, Costa Rica, etc. I know several people who are planning on having their dental work done in another country.
How many did you have removed? I had 11 (!) removed and have had no side effects, thankfully. My bio dentist here in South Africa told me to take liposomal vitamin C liquid which worked great for my immune system post removal!
Hi Saskia! Thanks for stopping by. I only had 3 removed. That is so great that everything went well for you. The liposomal C can really be helpful for some people. I'm glad it worked for you! Yay! :)
When you take the fillings out what do they do to the tooth? Is there a safer filling option, or does the tooth need to be extracted since it now has an exposed hole?
Also, thank you so much for the links! Especially the one about the "lady cycles." I've had severe probs recently and my doctor couldn't do anything at all other than offer a form of birth control that was supposed to help. I am going to have one of these tests conducted as soon as possible. Thanks again!
For me the only thing that cured my horrible PMDD and suicidal thoughts was going vegan. It was a totall surprise but it makes sense since milk is inflammatory and has hormones
I think my improvement was gradual but I certainly have way more energy now than back then (15 years ago). I also sauna regularly, which I think helped a lot.
Hi Jessica. I had a tooth pulled on Monday, today is Wednesday, so it’s been 2 days since then. I have been so fatigued since then & have slept way more than I usually do. I’ve had a lot more anxiety too since then. My dentist didn’t seem to think those amalgam fillings were toxic. He said he has them in his mouth. My tooth was pulled just like any other tooth would be pulled. No special equipment was used. So after watching your video I’m assuming my fatigue is coming from getting the amalgam filling out. Thanks for the videos on this issue.
Hi Lucy Girl - Thanks for stopping by! So sorry to hear about the fatigue. It definitely could be. Also, any type of dental work is viewed as a stressor (or even a trauma if it's severe) to the body. And a stressor like that is going to cause fatigue and perhaps some other symptoms. I would definitely reach out to your doctor or practitioner and let them know what is happening so they can support you in the best way possible. Sending you healing wishes!
Hello Jessica! Thank you for the informative video :) how do I go about researching the approach to this procedure or which dentist to use? It's all very confusing! Thank you :D
Hi Glenn - So glad it was helpful. I would start with the IAOMT site: iaomt.org/resources/safe-removal-amalgam-fillings/. They have practitioner listings and a lot of great info to get you started. From there I would start Googling dentists in your city/region and reviewing their sites to learn about their qualifications and if they practice safe amalgam removal procedures. Call their offices and ask. Go in for a consultation and interview the dentist. You could try "safe amalgam filling removal YOUR CITY" or similar searches. Hope that helps! Best wishes!
@@sheilalabeouf4315 I am having my first one taken out at the end of the month and am doing all four one at a time staggered. I will try to remember to write back here after at least one or two have been replaced. Hopefully it goes well without side effects
@@silencio1234 Hope everything goes well!! In your update, can you also explain what happens when you take the fillings out?? What do they do to the tooth? Is there a safer filling option, or does the tooth need to be extracted since it now has an exposed hole?
Looked this up because my dentist removed an amalgam filling but did not do it the proper way. Have been experience chronic constipation since (never gone for this long) and thought it might be linked, hence why I'm here.
I went to the dentist for a check up about 3-4 years ago and he discovered a broken amalgam. A follow up visit and he removed it and I had a composite installed in its place. This was before I knew anything about the dangers and special protection required for removing mercury amalgams. Fortunately I had zero issues afterwards. The removal of one amalgam the traditional way didn't seem to load my body with released mercury vapor in a noticeable way. I'm planning on removing my amalgams one quadrant at a time over a period of four visits and doing gentle detox procedures between times. I'm hopeful this will prevent any adverse after effects from disturbing them. Any thoughts are welcomed.
Hi John! I am glad to hear that you had no issues after the removal. I had quite a few removed unsafely before I ever know of the health risks around them. We will never know what impact, if any, that exposure had on my long-term health, but they were all done prior to me developing autoimmune conditions so I expect they did play a role. I think the plan you have figured out sounds great. I always tell people to take it slow and pay close attention to how your body responds. And it's really helpful to work with a practitioner who can help support your health should you need any extra attention before or after removal. Sending you all the best!
Thanks Jessica, very sound advice. There is an NP in one of the dental offices a block or so away from my regular dentist who I intend to consult before going to yet another dentist I found in my area who follows the strict protocol for removing amalgams properly. I am currently listening to some of Dr. Pompa's blogs as well. take care, John
+soaptotallyveg The first place I would start is by checking out the IAOMT site: iaomt.org/. They have info on there about safe removal and how to find a dentist in your area. It is definitely an investment in your health and it is not something that I would recommend people enter into lightly. I would strongly encourage you to do LOTS of research about the removal process, as well as how to support your health before and after the procedure. If possible, I would work with a nutritionist or a naturopath before and after as well so that they can help prepare your body and also help support you with any negative side effects. Some dentists also offer pre and post support, but it is typically pretty minimal and you'd get much more by working with a practitioner. Some people feel amazing after the removal, while other people experience side effects (from minor to major). You can do all the proper preparation in the world, but honestly, you have no idea how your body will react until you actually get them removed. That is why I stress the importance of doing your research and preparing for the procedure. Hal Huggins was one of the leading experts in amalgam fillings and safe removal, so I'd recommend reading through his site: www.hugginsappliedhealing.com/. Dr. Mercola also has a TON of articles on the topic on his site: mercury.mercola.com/ Hope that helps some! :)
Hi, thanks for sharing. It's been suggested I have mine out. I've had them for 35 years now though & can't help feeling it's a bit late & any damage is already done. Dunno what to do.
Hi +07pollee2ndtime! So glad I could offer some inspiration! I personally think that getting them out, no matter the stage of life, can help. It's just important to make sure you work with a dentist that has been properly trained on safe removal and work with a practitioner before and after on nutritional and detox support. I wish you the best of luck! :)
Amalgam fillings continue to emit mercury vapor when heated by warm drinks or under the pressure of chewing. Please get them out, and do it safely. iaomt.org/
Hi Pauline, wanted to say that it’s never too late. I had some amalgam for over 20 years. One that I had removed actually had a huge cavity underneath (that wasn’t previously discovered). If I had not gotten the amalgam out it would have been less likely to discover the cavity underneath , leading to bigger issues down the road.
Absolutely! Cilantro is another good one. Parsley even helps with heavy metals. Lots of natural options to support the body. The one caveat is they can be harmful to people who don't have their detox pathways functioning. Things like MTHFR mutations really impact the body's ability to detox and when you add chelators you can cause more harm than good. That's why working with an experienced practitioner is really helpful.
@@Deliciousobsessions When you say "people who don't have their detox pathways functioning", is this not a belief instead of a fact? Have you ever seen the detox pathways or are you relying on opinions of others as truth? If you go to the bathroom, your detox pathways are functioning, else, what is the body ridding itself of through #1 and #2 then?
@@theonlyexpert that’s not what she is talking about. Detox pathways are not just urinating or deficating, but actual biochemical ways that the liver deals with toxins. She is right that there are certain health conditions in which the detox pathways don’t work as well as others such as MTHFR in which the body can’t process folic acid.
+Miranda Martinez Thanks for stopping by! I did not do chelation. Both my practitioner and I feel that chelation is too drastic for where I am right now in my health. And truly, only a very small percentage of people need chelation. In general, it's going to be too tough on the body for the average person. I see a lot of people who jump into chelation only to do more harm than good. I do have a video that I did prior to the procedure here: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html. Thanks for watching!
Hi. Thanks for your story. I had mine done when I was very young. May be 9 or 10. I have always had a hard time recalling any memories of when I was young and in general. Based on your research, do you believe that could be related to the amalgams? I used to be very sharp but for the last few years I feel like a zombie. Could the amalgams had anything to do with it? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for watching! Possibly. Heavy metals can do really harmful things to our brain function and we are exposed to so many of them every day, not just in our amalgam fillings. If you suspect that heavy metals are playing a role in your health and memory issues, I'd recommend reaching out to a holistic practitioner who specializes in heavy metal treatment. I know so many people who have addressed heavy metals and it completely changed their health for the better. Best wishes to you!
Hi. Thank you for sharing. Did you have them biologically removed? I used a biological dentist and had all removed. A total of 7 and like you i have had terrible fatigue. Its been a month since my last removal. I feel a little better
Hi Edward! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, they were done by a highly trained biological dentist. He actually studied with Dr. Huggins, which is why I felt confident using him. It took me about 2 years of research to find a dentist that I felt good with. I hope you are starting to feel better. Do you have a practitioner you're working with to help support detox? Wishing you all the best!
im chronical ill from fibromyalgia and pnes (stress composed seizures) and i already struggle with some fattigue and almost 3 weeks ago i had most of my amalgam fillings removed while in full anasthesia to fix some teeths that i broke under seizures (because of seizures i couldnt get it fixed normally) the dentist desided to remove them because they were big and could potentional be the cause of my teeeth breaking so easily (i didnt know until after) and the first 14 days i was so sick, all my symtoms flared up. and the fattige was worse than it have ever been. i got so scared because at one point my illnesses chained me to the bed for a year. and i didnt know at the time that it could be from the removal. but after reading up on it when the fattigued liftet im possitive this is what it was. i did the same as you. i optet my detoxing tools and suppliments. and yesterday and today i feel like this cloud has been liftet. i almost feel like my self years ago. exhausted but more clearheadet.
@@armandosilva3669 im actully better than ive been in over 3 years. Before I had at least 60+seizures a month, so fattigued i could barely move and lots of pain. Since the removal ive only had 4 seizures. Very little pain and the fattigue is at its lowest. If its that or a mixture of that and all the other things ive been doing to get better i dont kkow. But it DEFENTLY did something 🙏❤
Did you do the detox correctly way before & try to boost the immune system before you did the procedure? I read your immune system needs to be in good shape before starting removal of amalgam?!!! Just Sayin did you go to smart dentist they should of given you charcoal before & after procdeure did the dr & assistant wear proper ppe for procedure & keep you protected as well as protocols of IAOMT?!!! ETC!!!
This was like a year ago, but when you get a filling, does it hurt? I need to get 3 fillings in 3 weeks. I'm 13(almost 14) but I hear a variety of things. To "IT HURTS SO FREAKIN BAD" to "It only hurts a little at the injection point", idk what to expect anymore. And I'm seriously scared cause I never got a filling before, let alone having to get 3 done.....
Hi +Nekochii Chan - Honestly, I don't remember. All of my fillings were from when I was a lot younger (like 20+ years ago) so I don't remember if they hurt, though every one that I had always was numbed with novocaine before they started work on me so I couldn't feel anything anyways. :) Best wishes to you on your healing journey!
+M. Eduardo Millan They are a composite material that was created specifically for my needs based on allergy testing my dentist did. He does allergy testing prior to removal to ensure that the material they use to repair the teeth after the removal won't cause any issues. I recommend most people get that allergy testing done so that they can be more confident that they won't react to the new fillings.
Hi Jessica , i just stumbled on this hole Mercury fillings . i hated going to the dentist so i have a mouthful of fillings . i cant believe all of what im reading about this subject ! i didnt know any of this and so i never heard ur original story. So did u have ur your teeth pulled or refilled ?? if refilled did u use porcelain ? Michelle H.
Hi Misha! There is a lot that we don't know when it comes to health! Things are always shifting as new research comes to light and we have to be willing to ebb and flow with it. :) You can watch my original video here where I talked about my preparation: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html. I had mine refilled with a special composite material that was created specifically for me based on materials allergy testing that we did prior to the removal.
I'm having my entire front bridge of my top teeth removed tomorrow. Also having one of my Mercury fillings removed and replaced with porcelain filling. I have had chronic hives from heat since I have had the bridge work done over 20 years ago. EVERYTHING I have researched pointed to my autoimmune stuff to my bridge work. I also recently been suffering from acid reflux. I have a chip in my bridge and was wondering if my reflux could be due to that?!? Again they seem to have happened simultaneously like my hives did after I got the bridge work done. I am beyond looking forward to tomorrow. This is costing me over 10,000 dollars due to my extensive bride work having to be done, but I can finally afford it!!!!
Hi Stephanie - I hope everything went OK with your removal! There is such a strong link between dental work and other chronic conditions. We keep learning more and more about how our dental health affects our overall health. I really hope everything went well and that you are recovering nicely. :)
@@Deliciousobsessions how sweet of you to check in with me 😊 OMG you brought me to tears. EVERYTHING went well. Three and a half hours later. My top of my mouth, pretty much my gums are extremely sore yet which he said is normal because of how angry they looked with the amount of metal in my mouth. Gums were very inflammed prior to even going. He is making my new bridge so I will go back in two weeks to get everything completed. I have porcelain temporary bridge and he showed me the porcelain material all. He told me yesterday that I was officially Mercury free in my now, which is a wonderful feeling. I am drinking a detox and digestive super food supplement. I have had this over twenty years so I'm guessing I will need to stay detoxing for a few months to six if not longer. Thanks again for checking up on me 😊
@@Deliciousobsessions also I will be going back to my naturopathic doctor at the end of May and see how everything is going. I have already been taking for years liposomal vitamin c, iodine,cod liver oil, probiotics and aloe vera gel for inflammation. I am pretty tired today. I would say it feels like I have been hit with a bat. I know everyday will get better.
Hi Stephanie! I am so sorry that I am just now seeing this two weeks later. I somehow missed the notification about your reply. I am SO happy to hear things went smoothly and that you were feeling good. Hopefully you still are!! Thanks for taking the time to come back and comment. I enjoyed reading your experience and I know others appreciate when people share things like this as well.
I had 2 large amalgam fillings removed last week and have been experiencing this "low grade" and persistent headache for days. I hardly get headaches so it's my guess that this is corelated. This wasn't done by a bio dentist so I am also thinking I might have absorbed a good amount of mercury.
Hey Jessica I recently removed 2 of the 9 fillings and the next day after the removal I felt really nauseous and fatigue! I have 7 left on top left and right , Should I remove them all together ? Or half and half ? And when should I start the detox I’m really scared how my body will react :(
Hi Victor! So sorry you had such a negative reaction. Since I'm not a doctor, I can't really advise you but I recommend chatting with your dentist about what happened and maybe making a plan to remove them one or two at a time so you can potentially avoid or reduce any negative reactions. You might also consider looking for a functional medicine doctor or other practitioner who is well-versed in heavy metals and see if you might need extra detox support. Some people are really sensitive to the mercury and can experience worse symptoms than others. Best wishes on your journey!
Any new updates a few years later? I am surprised that getting your amalgams removed the correct way set back your health, but the 6 prior did not fatigue you?
Hi Lauren - Thanks for stopping by! I don't have any specific health updates since this video. I don't really talk a lot about my health journey publicly anymore as I discuss in this video: czcams.com/video/M9it9LjJVZw/video.html. I was quite young (relatively speaking) when I had the previous amalgams removed unsafely and honestly, I think those removals played a role in my developing chronic autoimmune issues 10-15 years later. There really is no way to know how heavy metal exposure impacts our individual health. The development of chronic conditions is always caused by more than one single thing. In addition to the amalgams, I was exposed to a lot of toxic industrial chemicals and environmental contaminants in my late teens/early 20s and I suspect those could have also played a role. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Jessica, Thanks for this video. I had my amalgams removed two weeks ago and now I have this bad fatigue, and mental fog. What supplements I can have to overcome this?
Hi. I'm considering having this done, too. I was told I have about 7 fillings with mercury in them. My thought is that, as the lady said in the video, is that if I have ALL 7 taken out AT ONE TIME (in one visit) and replaced with something else, that I might have bad detox symptoms that might get really uncomfortable. So, for that reason, I"m considering only having 3 taken out in one day, wait and see how I feel, then have the other 4 removed a month or so later, so I don't go through too many bad symptoms. Does this make sense? I'm going to ask a holistic dentist about my idea about this, also.
I hope everything went well! When you take the fillings out what do they do to the tooth? Is there a safer filling option, or does the tooth need to be extracted since it now has an exposed hole?
I have one silver filling that I got in 2009. I had very low vitamin d levels back then. I went to a dentist who just put it in without giving me a choice to say no I didn't want the silver filling. I was at the appointment and in the dental chair. The dentist couldn't do the white filling like I wanted because of my severe gag reflex. So, without asking me if I wanted to go to a dentist who offered IV sedation so that I could get the white filling, he decided that the silver was good enough and just packed it in my tooth. I was so angry. I walked out of his dental office and found a dental office that offered IV Sedation. I got a few teeth cavities filled with white that time. I didn't talk to the dentist I was seeing when I got the white fillings because he was friends with the dentist who put the silver filling in my tooth. I moved to a different state, but went to a dentist who didn't offer IV sedation. But when a white filling needed to be fixed he referred me to a dentist who offers IV Sedation, so now I'm a patient at that dental office. The silver filling is still in my tooth but I would love it to be removed. A Facebook friend told me to leave it in my tooth because as we grind down when eating or clinching the filling gets damaged so it is best to leave it in until it's ready to be replaced. I'm going to ask my dentist because his office is a mercury free office and see if he'll remove it anyway. It's scratched, but it's still intact. I really don't want to wait until I'm 79 or 80 years old to get it removed. I think I have insomnia even though it's just one silver filling. I don't think I think clearly. I forget right away where I left my phone or something else. My family has a history or kidney and liver problems. I want the silver filling out just to be safe. The Facebook friend also said I would have sensitivity after getting the silver filling removed. I read comments from a few people their sensitivity was gone after a few weeks. It's something I really would love to talk to my dentist about. If it can be done he could fill in a tooth that the filling fell out from and couldn't fix it before because of my severe gag reflex. I'll have to see what he says.
Hi Jordan! Thanks for watching! Yes, those are definitely two herbs that are helpful for metal detox. I eat a lot of cilantro, but do not react well to chlorella so I have to avoid that one.
I'm still spitting out poison 6 months later. It is stuck in my gum. Getting it removed didn't fix my symptoms bc the dentist didn't remove it from the gum and where it had leaked to 😢
Iʻm planning to remove mines I have 6 silver fillings from when i was small, how much would it cost to remove them and replace them with composite fillings? Is the procedure painful?
Hi +Alana Paiva - Thanks for watching! The procedure was not painful at all, but I chose to have novocaine so everything was numb. As far as cost, I can't really say. I found prices to vary A LOT just here in my area so it's really going to depend on your market. I would recommend interviewing as many dentists as possible and getting quotes from them before moving forward. You want to take the time to research them and make sure that they are properly trained in safe removal protocols. Best wishes!
well since I had it done the wrong and I have health insurance I think I got mine one silver filling removed for free. If you have it done the proper way it cost a lot of money. Don't know how much and all but I think it cost a lot to have it removed the proper way. I think 10 minutes of removing it the wrong way is better than paying out a lot of money. And I didn't feel sick afterwards or anything. Now I have two small ones to go back and remove in about a month and then I will be relieved that I have no more silver fillings. A few years ago I had my 1st silver filling removed and the cavity was too deep and I ended up needing a root canal. THis time I am fine just a soar tooth but it doesn't bother me to eat and so I know that the swollen nerve causing the soarness will go down. That's what happens from all the drilling. He said there was a spot that was deep. But this tooth will be fine. And root canals are bad too and so I am lucky this tooth took and wont need a root canal. And I am rambling on.
You shouldn't need a root canal if you not having any pain, some dentist want you to have a root canal but that when you look for another dentist. I have a tooth knock loss and that tooth needed a root canal. Then my dentist set the tooth back in place. It took and I been living with it for 40 years with out any problems. I have caps. I chose gold for the rear teeth.
No my dentist doesn't like root canals at all he likes the patient to wait a while to make sure. I had a root canal a few years ago because after a filing was removed it bothered me a lot to eat on that tooth and the tooth bothered me a lot. This tooth is a large tooth next to the tooth I had the root canal on. I was crossing my fingers with this tooth. This time this tooth was different I went through pain for a few weeks and was taking Tylenol and then I was going to just a soar tooth or a soar tooth a little after I eat depending what I ate and how hard I bit down. Wednesday will be a month since the silver filling was removed. Well so far I get some soarness and I notice that the tooth feels a little funny if I drank cold water or bit into cold cheese or something but even that improved in a few days. THis might be the last part of my healing i hope in a week i feel nothing when i eat. And then i will call him and make a appointment to remove the other two fillings.
My sister is really big on removing silver fillings the correct way and i saw on utube how they remove them the correct way. Now i don't know how much hers cost but when she wanted to have my mothers fillings removed they found out the cost would be $5,000 dollars and so my mother didn't have them removed. I have no idea how many fillings my mother has i asked her and she said she doesn't know. She is 82 years old. My sister doesn't know i had mine removed the Wrong way!! She would of been shocked if she knew i removed them the wrong way. I guess some day i will tell her that i removed them the wrong way because i got them removed for free since my health insurance covered it plus i really didn't care. Plus my dentist has always been able do a good job with filling a tooth because of a cavity or removing a filling. In the past i had problems with some of my teeth after having a cavity etc and he always said just wait a few weeks and the soarness will go down. And he was always right the tooth always ended up fine. So i figured that even if i am breathing in the toxins of a silver filling removal at least he removed the filling correctly. Its like i have a lot of trust in him with my teeth. I would of felt afraid going somewhere else. My sister gave me the name of someone to remove them the correct way and i ignored it. But i know he doesn't remove silver fillings the safe way. A lot of dentist are like that if you want the filling removed they will listen.
Selenium helps protect the body from the toxic effects of heavy metals such as mercury in amalgam fillings. The selenium binds to the heavy metals rendering them harmless. Natural selenium in foods such as Brazil nuts may be more effective than from a supplement.
my dentist put 2 mercury amalgams in 2018 January. In october 2018 I had hpylori infection in my stomach. In Feb 2019, I went to same dentist, he without even asking drilled my one filling to give it a shape and asked me to spit. In March 2019 I had severe gastritis. Doc told me to take 10 days Antibioitcs which I took. Soon after taking them I fely so weak fatigue. still now I am fatigue. I have still 2 mercury fillings. Is it a good time to get them removed as I am alrrady in Pain :( If I give it a gap what should I do then to detox already present mercury. i have started eating 2 cloves raw garlic everyday. yougurt , ginger, rice , chicken, almonds , some cabbage is all my diet. need help
Hi Miriam - I am so very sorry you have had to go through all of that! I would recommend looking for a biological dentist in your area and speaking to them about your case. A good place to start the search is: iaomt.org/resources/safe-removal-amalgam-fillings/. Best wishes on your healing journey. I hope you're able to get some answers and relief soon!
I'm confused. I would expect that removing the amalgam would be a positive impact immediately. Why after they were removed did you feel worse for awhile? I would like to understand why anyone would not feel better right away. Thanks!
+No Flowers Please When it comes to amalgam removal, it's impossible to know how someone will react. I know people who have felt great immediately after, and others, like myself, who have suffered health problems because of the removal (I know a few people who have had extremely serious side effects after the removal). The main issue that arises is that no matter how many safety protocols are followed during the procedure, there is still some exposure to the mercury vapors. Also, the removal triggers a detox reaction in the body as it tries to rid itself of stored metals. Unfortunately, some people have impaired detox pathways (due to methylation problems), which can make heavy metal detoxing difficult and in some cases impossible. Stored metals have a serious impact on our overall health, including our thyroid, adrenals, liver, etc. In the long-term it is beneficial to get them removed, but it's also important to understand that there could be negative effects temporarily as your body detoxes. Hope that helps!
Because during the removal you ingest more mercury than normally which can result in health issues following the removal. You should feel better few weeks later as the body detoxes. The removal itself exposes you to more mercury than if you left them alone hence it has to be done very carefully.
+Eli Munoz Unfortunately, I can't give you any recommendations regarding supplements. I would talk to your doctor or practitioner about it and see what they recommend for your specific needs! Have a great day!
Hi Katrin - Yes, it is a composite material that my dentist created for me based on my dental materials allergy testing that we did prior to the procedure.
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions Thank you. I found a dentist that specializes in safe amalgram removal that lives an hour away from me and I'm going to call him tomorrow!
Hi Katrina! Awesome! Best of luck on the process! Always go with your gut. If he doesn't feel right then don't move forward with him. You'll find the right dentist for your needs. :)
I was in Mexico and I got all my mercury removed from my teeth, ever since I came back I haven't been able to even look at food. Maybe the mercury causes cravings.
I did mine I had one of them removed and I felt fine after that died I felt a little bit of like burning sensations a little bit in my body but nothing too crazy… The week after I went in to have my white fillings put in and immediately after I got up I felt very dizzy… And I thought OK maybe it’s just some kind of medication reaction from where they froze my mouth.anyways It’s been about four days after that I feel extremely dizzy my body is just so Daisy really lighthearted super nervous and I’ve been feeling already like this prior to this but this is like on another level.have you ever had lightheadedness and just full body DAZN where are you can’t even control your body you feel like you’re just going to fall and of course super week as well
Hi Irina! Thanks for stopping by. I'm so sorry you've had such a negative reaction. I hope you are starting to feel better! Best wishes on your healing journey!
Hi Dyan! Yep! That is why it took me well over 2 years to get them removed. I spent a LONG time researching safe procedures and then interviewing and researching dentists to find the right one for me. You can watch my previous video about what I did to prepare for the removal here: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html
I am planning on getting mine removed, I have 4, I'm so worried about how my body will react because I'm petite, I think I will get them removed one at a time over the course of the year
Hi Nicole A! There really is no way to know how your body will react. I know people who have had no issues at all and others who got way sicker than me. The best advice I can give is to make sure you use a dentist who has been extensively trained in safe amalgam removal. Best wishes to you! I hope everything goes smoothly!! :)
Gerardo Argueta I had 2 removed and they charge based on the size of the filling plus a removal fee, to replace the filling cost $246 u.s. dollars and the removal fee is $95, I did get sick after each removal but it cleared up in a few days, I still have more to remove
need job Did they do the entire "safe removal" procedure like the IAOMT recommends? Or did they just simply remove and replace? That price seems so incredibly low to me.
poolahpot yes it was completely safe, she used a dam, suction, ozone as well as full body protection and mask. It may seem low because the removal is based on how much the amalgam covers on the surface of the tooth and mine cover mostly the top of the tooth and not the entire tooth, so if your amalgam covers the top and sides of the tooth they will charge more
need job WOW! that's awesome. The holistic dentist I called here in FL wants 400 for the first two hour consultation! It does include x-rays, but that seems VERY high to me. I'm scared to see the price of the actual remove/replace procedure! :/ I don't have a good feeling concerning the pricing. I will let you know, but it's not until the beginning of April.
I had a silver filling removed from my back tooth almost a week ago the wrong way and I have felt totally fine. When this soar tooth heals from the drilling and stuff I will have two small ones on the top removed. But like I said I felt totally fine. Some people will react to the toxins your breathing in during removal more than others. I am just relieved to get that toxic old silver filling out of my mouth that was probably 40 years old since I am 50 and like I said I will get the other two removed which I believe are more new that I probably got when I was a teenager. Again I felt totally fine. If anything I felt better. I might even have better concentration.
So glad you've had a positive experience! It really does vary from person to person. You never really know how your body will respond until you do it. I know some people whose health crashes (and sometimes quite severely) and then others, like you, who have no issues at all! Glad you are feeling good!
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions now it’s been almost 3 weeks since the filling was removed. My tooth had hurt and I was talking Tylenol but my tooth keeps feeling better and better. I take way less Tylenol I don’t need it anymore. My tooth still gets soar but it should be fine in a few more weeks. From the very beginning it didn’t bother me to eat on it and so I still think the tooth will be fully healed in a few more weeks. He said don’t eat anything hard on it for a month. The cavity was a bit large but not not the time I had a root canal. Now if I would of needed a root canal I wouldn’t of been able to eat on the tooth at all and so I think the soreness should go away in two more weeks. Yes it’s a long time to be soar but at least it’s not hurting like it use to and I don’t need Tylenol. So once this tooth is fine I’ll get the other two silver fillings removed. Now if this tooth doesn’t heal I can pull it since it’s in the back because root canals are BAD too. That’s my update. But as for my health I’ve been totally fine and normal. No tiredness no headaches or anything like that. I’ve been fully fine.
Hi Cassandra - I had some pain after the procedure, but that was general soreness from the dental work and dissipated with a little time. I would definitely reach out to your dentist and ask them about that. I am certain they could give you some insight as to why that would be happening and if any further repair needs to be done to help alleviate that pain for you. Dental pain is NO FUN! Sending you healing vibes! :)
HI Sheri! So glad things seem to be going well for you (minus the pain). Hopefully, that will continue to subside and go away completely in no time. You may be one of the people who have zero side effects, which would be great! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)
Hi Dastan! I am so sorry to hear this! I would definitely speak to your dentist and/or your practitioner about this. Wishing you all the best as you heal!
Hi +Sheila meri - No, I did not need crowns on them. The amalgams were replaced with a composite material that was developed specifically for me based on material sensitivity testing that we did prior. Hope that helps! :)
The dentist that removed mine also did not use caps. I have had nothing but problems following this procedure!! I had one root canal in one of the teeth. She had seen this coming and would not acknowledge that she was responsible for it. Then two other teeth needed root canals!! I had one extracted. I am very sorry that I had this done. I had no health problems and as far as I am concerned this woman took advantage of a growing concern for health that is going around. I need to make a video and put it on here.
Hi +Sheila meri - I am SO sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. :( I have had bad dental experiences before too and they truly are a nightmare. It pains me to hear the struggles you've had since the procedure. It is sad to hear that your dentist took advantage of the situation. That is unethical and I would be seeing what legal recourse I had against that dentist, especially if she did take care of your needs properly after the procedure. When it comes to amalgam removal, it is not something that a dentist should do to prey on patients. I advise everyone I meet NOT to get an amalgam removal without doing a TON of research, vetting properly trained dentists, and getting their health needs in order before and after the procedure. Some people have no issues, others have very severe and even life-threatening issues after. Sadly there is no way to know how your body will react. That is why it took me more than 2 years of research and working on my own health before I felt ready to make this move. For me, getting the mercury out of my body so I could detox was very important for my long-term health and also to avoid issues with conception and pregnancy. But I know people (like my parents) who have had amalgams their entire life with no issues that we know of. Again, so sorry for your struggles!
Thanks for your response. I am going to try to re-coop my losses with legality. I had a root canal done today and the receptionist in my doctors office was telling me that she has been in dentistry for over 10 years and has seen many people have problems like mine after amalgam removal. People need to put more on youtube about this. I want to do a video, but google wants a lot of my contact information in order to allow me to do this. I would like your opinion on this since you have submitted your video on here. Do you think it wise? I really want to do this. Let me know if you think they take advantage of all my contacts and so forth. If you give the thumbs up I will load my video. Thanks so much for taking the time to connect with me. I appreciate it!!! Sheila
Hi +Sheila meri - I hope that legal action serves you well! Again, so sorry you're having to deal with this. So frustrating! Like I said, there are always risks with amalgam removals and that is why you have to be well-educated and seek out properly trained dentists. Not every dentist is trained on safe removal methods. That is always why I have been very vocal on CZcams, my website, and social media about this. It is not a decision to undertake lightly. I am on CZcams because videos are a part of my health and wellness business. I can't really advise as to whether or not you should join CZcams and upload videos. That is definitely a personal decision and the more info you give Google, the more they know about you. So, you have to weigh it out and see what you are most comfortable with! :) Best wishes to you!!!
can I ask . . .why do we get sick when they are taken out ? Because there is less mercury ? I am in my 40s and have about 10 fillings .. .some of which are falling out so I have to get them removed really. but I'm a bit shocked to hear that I may have problems . . I am doing a lot with a new business at the moment and don't want to be hit with exhaustion . . .any advice please !!
Hi Nick! Thank you for sharing your resources! I appreciate it. Clodagh - the reaction is really going to depend on the person. With that many, most biological dentists are going to recommend removing them slowly to minimize any adverse effects. Wishing you all the best on your healing journey!
Hi! If you haven't had any side effects from the removal then you may not react. Some people can have them removed without proper safety protocols and never feel any side effects. Others do. We are each so unique that we don't know how we'll respond to things like this until we go through it. If you do start having symptoms of mercury toxicity, fatigue, brain fog, etc., I would recommend reaching out to your doctor to discuss possible causes. Best wishes to you!
Hi Michael - They had a dental dam in my mouth, oxygen, a special guard over all of my face and upper body that just left my mouth exposed. They also have a special ventilation system in the room where they do the procedure to help mitigate fumes created by the drilling. The doctor and support staff were all wearing protective gear as well. Hope that helps!
Hi Zenith - There were 3 total that needed to be removed this time around. But I've had a number of them removed in the past before I ever knew anything about the dangers and proper removal procedures. :(
@@kae2678 what do you replace them with as a safer alternative? My dentist acted oblivious when I told him I wanted something other than silver, mercury, or amalgam.
I just came our of the dentist with 4 amalgam fillings! And I absolutely regret it I don't like it I feel uncomfortable with it. What should i do I want to remove them asap
Hi +Dastan Al-Hafid! I am so sorry to hear this. How frustrating! I did a video on how I personally prepared for my amalgam filling removal here: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions Thanks you soo much for answering but how will i know if the dentist is good at removing them safely?! I'm going back to the same dentist that i had the fillings in he said i can remove them for u but for extra money? Should I trust him?
search for... safe amalgam removal + your state. This is how I was able to find a dentist in my state that follows safe removal procedures. It's unbelievable they are still putting mercury into peoples teeth.
hey, my wife got multiple of these fillings sort of like 4-6 fillings in total. I am concerned about having a baby. will it be a factor? I think it will cost a lot of money i guess?
Hi Mikimaus - Thanks for stopping by. Since everyone's body is different I can't really give any specific advice. My own practitioners did recommend that I remove mine before we ever tried to conceive, so that was one of the reasons I went ahead and did it. I would advise having your wife meet with a biological/holistic dentist to evaluate her situation. She might also want to meet with a holistic doctor or naturopath who can help her with any needed testing and support to get ready to conceive. Best wishes to you both1
I had my amalgams with all 3 of my pregnancies. I am in the process of having them removed as I had only known from a year ago that they contained mercury and were dangerous. I had two healthy pregnancies and children with them in and one miscarriage that may or may not be related hope this helps your decision. Me personally I would have them removed before ttc
Laiken Jordan Thank you for sharing your story! 💖 I agree that if possible it's a good idea to get them out before trying to conceive. My practitioners all said it's best to get them out well in advance (at least 1-2 years) prior to give the body plenty of time to detox. That said, there are plenty of woman who have healthy children while they have amalgams. I never want people to get overly stressed or fearful about anything. We all have to make the best choices for our health with the resources and finances we have at the time. 😊
I seem to be the only one who is suffering after my amalgams were removed. My teeth are really bothering me. I had this done on August 21st 2015, almost four months ago. At first I was fine. However, now a capped tooth on the top of my mouth and an amalgam removed on the bottom is hurting so much. They are both on the left side of my mouth. I am going to call my dentists office again.
+Sheila meri Yes, definitely call the dentist! There is always going to be risk when getting any sort of dental work done. I have had quite a few ups and downs this year since getting them removed. Hopefully your dentist will be able to take care of your teeth without too much trouble. Best wishes! :)
Hi, I did go back to the dentist. She said that the bite had to be worked on. I never knew that they need to align the bite perfectly. Like I said I had gotten a tooth capped and this is why it was bothering me. So I learned something new!! She drilled the cap down and some of the other tooth as well. I must admit that I am feeling much better after that!! However, I am going for a second opinion. Thanks for responding!!!!
+Sheila meri Oh good! So glad she was able to offer some answers. People don't realize how important it is to get the bite right. It's something I've struggled with too. I think mine is still a bit off even after some work. I am SO glad you got some relief and I fully support getting a second opinion too! Best wishes and thanks for taking the time to stop back by! :)
+simon292pass I had 3 that were removed this spring. I have probably had about 6 that we removed unsafely about 10 years ago. That was before I knew anything about this kind of stuff! :)
My dentist placed amalgam filling today :/. But it doesn't look "metal" as others, like it's inside the cavity and then covered with white filling... However i'm not planning on keeping them forever but also i'm not planning on removing it by regular dentist
+John Mirra Interesting! The only amalgams I had were when I was a kid and they were the solid metal look (no porcelain overlay). Sometimes we have to do what we have to do. I do agree with you on not having them removed by a regular dentist though! When you get ready to think about removal, the IAOMT site is a great place to start: iaomt.org/. They have info on there about safe removal and how to find a dentist in your area. Thanks for stopping by! :)
+Lisa Scott I only had 3 removed, as that is all I had left in my mouth. Yes, they were all removed at the same time. The whole procedure took about 3 hours if I remember correctly.
Please, try Chelation therapy. Not the intravenous kind, you want Alpha Lipoic Acid in oral form. If you are wanting more information, search up Dr. Andrew Cutler protocol. The key to Chelating heavy metals, is to not taking tablets randomly. Anyways, for more info, please search up Dr. Cutler, absolutely amazing and extremely vital information. Detoxing (Especially from mercury) can be difficult. Chelation is key.
Chris Eckenrode Getting amalgam fillings removed properly can be expensive. That's why it took me over 3 years before I finally made the move to take mine out. I would definitely get evaluations from different dentists. There is probably going to be a variation of cost between each dentist. Also check with your insurance (if you have dental insurance) to see if there is any coverage for getting amalgams removed. Sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't. Many times people will have their amalgams removed over time, maybe one or two at a time as they can afford it. Depending on where you live, you may also speak to dentists in other cities to see if there is a great variation in cost. Depending on what the cost difference is, it might be worth a little bit of travel expense, if the dentist is properly trained. Best wishes to you on your healing journey!
Annapolis green dental in MD is one good and reasonable place. The price you quoted is a rip off. Our family has gotten much work done in MD and CA. Many good dentists now do to safe amalgam removal, but do not advertise. It must be done as safely as possible. Do the blood test for materials compatibility, biocomp is one. Do only one quadrant at a time. Do not use oxygen, facilitates absorption into brain. Good luck
It looks like you have " Mercury Sensitivity ". Recently, I discovered why I am... Fatigue, Light Sensitivity, Fluorescent Light Sensitivity, LED Light Sensitivity, Headaches, Brain-Fog, Weak, Feeling Cold, Electrical Sensitivity, Etc.... Etc... Even Soap Sensitivity, YES... SOAP.... That is how it lead me to " Mercury ". Lye Soap is based off of " Mercury " in productions, so every-time I use Soap, I get tired! Because of my Soap Venture recently, I discovered why I am tired all the time... This is ALL due to Mercury and Mercury Based Products! I will be doing a BIG Video soon on this... Explaining my symptoms and sickness in the video.
Yes, I definitely did have some sensitivity to it. I also think that it played a role in my chronic illnesses as well. We are exposed to a lot of mercury without even realizing it. Sending you all the best on your healing journey!

WHITE SUNNY SAND I'm so sorry to hear that. You need to find a holistic or biological dentist in your area. They are going to be the ones trained in safe amalgam removal. Best wishes on your healing journey!
Hi Kelsie! Thanks for watching! The amalgam removal actually triggered some other health issues for me, but those are on the mend. Healing is such a journey! It's like peeling an onion. You "fix" one layer only to uncover deeper issues that need healing. :)
Hi Mary - Thanks for watching! Since filming this video several years ago, I made the choice to stop sharing so much information about my healing journey. I recorded this video discussing why: czcams.com/video/M9it9LjJVZw/video.html. I still share some stuff, but it is much more general and not as in-depth and personal as I once was. :)
Hi Sharon! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, that can definitely be an issue for some. I am thankful that my levels were not bad and didn't cause me any severe problems.
HI! Actually, you can. There are a lot of different ways to do it. The method depends on the individual person. Not everyone is going to need heavy chelation therapy, but some folks might depending on their toxicity levels (and often they've had exposure elsewhere, like welders for example). Cheers!
you should make a video on this. What you mean by real food and non-toxic living so we can learn from you. I'm always drained out and feel fatigue. Thank you darling. I do have 3 silver teeth needs to be removed soon.
usa gal Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep that in mind!

I got really tired for a week after I had them removed. After that, I have more energy now than I did before.
Awesome! I am so glad to hear that! :)
Oh this message just give so much hope. I had one removed last week, i was extra happy to have one less in the body. Buuuuut... last few days i felt so tired, sick, muscles pains, lower back pain.. its hurting and it made me upset. I already have health issues.. hope to feel better soon as possible.
@@DeliciousobsessionsI’m documenting mine. I felt my energy return almost immediately.
@@petal777 Did you get yours taken out the safe way? So sorry to hear of your symptoms. I'm trying to decide what to do, also.
It also makes a huge difference the way your dentist does the procedure. Not all do it the safe way.
+GreenBarbie5 Absolutely! Selecting a well-educated dentist is the key to all this. I spent two years researching dentists in my area before I felt comfortable selecting the one I went with. My dentist actually trained with Hal Huggins, which was what sealed the deal for me. But, even with the best of dentists, you really never know how your body will react until you have them removed. Some people feel amazing right away and others do have some side effects (ranging from mild to severe).
I was thinking the same thing..
GreenBarbie5 That’s True because I had a tooth pulled 2 days ago that had an amalgam filling in it & no special equipment was used to pull the tooth
My sister had chronic fatigue syndrome and depression for years…she got hers removed and it all almost immediately went away…she also topped it off with a heavy metal detox
That's Great. What was she using for the Heavy Metals detox?
How did she detox?
@@0cblh88 she bought a heavy metal detox from the health food store...fruitful yield
What was the detox she used?
HOw many did she have taken out at one time?
My sister went to my dentist too and she has MS. No bad reaction which is such a blessing because her body is already compromised
Oh that is wonderful news! It can be challenging when you already are dealing with health conditions and are not sure how your body will respond to the removal. So glad you both came out the otherside so nicely!
Your sister can reverse her MS by Dr Lonnie Herman in Florida. Treatment is costly but its worth the money. Dr. Lonnie can completely remove mercury and many dangerous toxins from the body very safely.
Thanks a bunch for sharing! Very informative! So sorry to hear about your health problems. Best wishes and good luck!
Hi Paula! So happy it was helpful! Thanks for watching! :)
I had 12 fillings removed in Mexico......... no freezing at all. He drilled them out with a lot of water happening. I took a tablespoon of charcoal (activated) in water before I went in. I took another tablespoon that night with water and used the charcoal every day for the next 2 days. Any particles that were swallowed were attached to the charcoal, and I did smoothies with psyllium to get the bowels happening having 3 poops a day. Coffee enemas would have been a good idea too, but in a room with only a shower it was too hard to do and I didin’t have an enema bag anyways! I have no ill effects. They were big fillings! Had them 45 years.
So glad you had such a smooth procedure! That's great! We really don't know how the removal will affect us until we do it. I know folks who have had zero effects and I know folks who have had life-threatening complications. So glad you remained well! Thanks for stopping by!

The cost to remove 12 fillings in Mexico was $400 US
I believe it! I've been learning a lot more about medical tourism recently. It's much cheaper in places like Mexico, Costa Rica, etc. I know several people who are planning on having their dental work done in another country.
Where in Mexico?
Would u share with us a number to call. Also did they take all the safety precautions suggested by top dds in the states?
We're you getting sick from the mercury fillings ? ???

How much did it cost you and how did it go?
How many did you have removed? I had 11 (!) removed and have had no side effects, thankfully. My bio dentist here in South Africa told me to take liposomal vitamin C liquid which worked great for my immune system post removal!
Hi Saskia! Thanks for stopping by. I only had 3 removed. That is so great that everything went well for you. The liposomal C can really be helpful for some people. I'm glad it worked for you! Yay! :)
When you take the fillings out what do they do to the tooth? Is there a safer filling option, or does the tooth need to be extracted since it now has an exposed hole?
@@HoneeyBee3 they fill the tooth with a safer white filling
How do you feel now compared to before they were removed?
That sounds like a good dentist to suggest liposomal vit C.
Also, thank you so much for the links! Especially the one about the "lady cycles." I've had severe probs recently and my doctor couldn't do anything at all other than offer a form of birth control that was supposed to help. I am going to have one of these tests conducted as soon as possible. Thanks again!
So sorry to hear about the issues you've been having! Hopefully, you can find some answers soon. Best wishes to you on your healing journey!
For me the only thing that cured my horrible PMDD and suicidal thoughts was going vegan. It was a totall surprise but it makes sense since milk is inflammatory and has hormones
I think my improvement was gradual but I certainly have way more energy now than back then (15 years ago). I also sauna regularly, which I think helped a lot.
Did you goto a IAOMT SMART CERTIFIED Dentist that followed all safe precautions for both you and all dental personnel that perform procedure?!!!
Hi Jessica. I had a tooth pulled on Monday, today is Wednesday, so it’s been 2 days since then. I have been so fatigued since then & have slept way more than I usually do. I’ve had a lot more anxiety too since then. My dentist didn’t seem to think those amalgam fillings were toxic. He said he has them in his mouth. My tooth was pulled just like any other tooth would be pulled. No special equipment was used. So after watching your video I’m assuming my fatigue is coming from getting the amalgam filling out. Thanks for the videos on this issue.
Hi Lucy Girl - Thanks for stopping by! So sorry to hear about the fatigue. It definitely could be. Also, any type of dental work is viewed as a stressor (or even a trauma if it's severe) to the body. And a stressor like that is going to cause fatigue and perhaps some other symptoms. I would definitely reach out to your doctor or practitioner and let them know what is happening so they can support you in the best way possible. Sending you healing wishes!
Thank you!!
+QSnarf My pleasure!
Hello Jessica! Thank you for the informative video :) how do I go about researching the approach to this procedure or which dentist to use? It's all very confusing! Thank you :D
Hi Glenn - So glad it was helpful. I would start with the IAOMT site: iaomt.org/resources/safe-removal-amalgam-fillings/. They have practitioner listings and a lot of great info to get you started. From there I would start Googling dentists in your city/region and reviewing their sites to learn about their qualifications and if they practice safe amalgam removal procedures. Call their offices and ask. Go in for a consultation and interview the dentist. You could try "safe amalgam filling removal YOUR CITY" or similar searches. Hope that helps! Best wishes!

In your update, can you also explain what happens when you take the fillings out?? What do they do to the tooth? Is there a safer filling option, or does the tooth need to be extracted since it now has an exposed hole?
@@silencio1234 So how did the filling removal go?
Looked this up because my dentist removed an amalgam filling but did not do it the proper way. Have been experience chronic constipation since (never gone for this long) and thought it might be linked, hence why I'm here.
@ Peony Pink. No relationship other that psychological. Possibly because you were nervous
I went to the dentist for a check up about 3-4 years ago and he discovered a broken amalgam. A follow up visit and he removed it and I had a composite installed in its place. This was before I knew anything about the dangers and special protection required for removing mercury amalgams. Fortunately I had zero issues afterwards. The removal of one amalgam the traditional way didn't seem to load my body with released mercury vapor in a noticeable way. I'm planning on removing my amalgams one quadrant at a time over a period of four visits and doing gentle detox procedures between times. I'm hopeful this will prevent any adverse after effects from disturbing them. Any thoughts are welcomed.
Hi John! I am glad to hear that you had no issues after the removal. I had quite a few removed unsafely before I ever know of the health risks around them. We will never know what impact, if any, that exposure had on my long-term health, but they were all done prior to me developing autoimmune conditions so I expect they did play a role. I think the plan you have figured out sounds great. I always tell people to take it slow and pay close attention to how your body responds. And it's really helpful to work with a practitioner who can help support your health should you need any extra attention before or after removal. Sending you all the best!
Thanks Jessica, very sound advice. There is an NP in one of the dental offices a block or so away from my regular dentist who I intend to consult before going to yet another dentist I found in my area who follows the strict protocol for removing amalgams properly. I am currently listening to some of Dr. Pompa's blogs as well. take care, John
Awesome! It sounds like you are an excellent path!! I hope everything goes smoothly!
thanks im considering this-do you have any tips?
+soaptotallyveg The first place I would start is by checking out the IAOMT site: iaomt.org/. They have info on there about safe removal and how to find a dentist in your area.
It is definitely an investment in your health and it is not something that I would recommend people enter into lightly. I would strongly encourage you to do LOTS of research about the removal process, as well as how to support your health before and after the procedure. If possible, I would work with a nutritionist or a naturopath before and after as well so that they can help prepare your body and also help support you with any negative side effects. Some dentists also offer pre and post support, but it is typically pretty minimal and you'd get much more by working with a practitioner.
Some people feel amazing after the removal, while other people experience side effects (from minor to major). You can do all the proper preparation in the world, but honestly, you have no idea how your body will react until you actually get them removed. That is why I stress the importance of doing your research and preparing for the procedure.
Hal Huggins was one of the leading experts in amalgam fillings and safe removal, so I'd recommend reading through his site: www.hugginsappliedhealing.com/. Dr. Mercola also has a TON of articles on the topic on his site: mercury.mercola.com/
Hope that helps some! :)
Just got one removed today. Now to see how I feel this week.
Upadate please!
Hi, thanks for sharing. It's been suggested I have mine out. I've had them for 35 years now though & can't help feeling it's a bit late & any damage is already done. Dunno what to do.
Hi +07pollee2ndtime! So glad I could offer some inspiration! I personally think that getting them out, no matter the stage of life, can help. It's just important to make sure you work with a dentist that has been properly trained on safe removal and work with a practitioner before and after on nutritional and detox support. I wish you the best of luck! :)
Amalgam fillings continue to emit mercury vapor when heated by warm drinks or under the pressure of chewing. Please get them out, and do it safely. iaomt.org/
Hi Pauline, wanted to say that it’s never too late. I had some amalgam for over 20 years. One that I had removed actually had a huge cavity underneath (that wasn’t previously discovered). If I had not gotten the amalgam out it would have been less likely to discover the cavity underneath , leading to bigger issues down the road.
organic chlorella is considered a very good mercury chelator
Absolutely! Cilantro is another good one. Parsley even helps with heavy metals. Lots of natural options to support the body. The one caveat is they can be harmful to people who don't have their detox pathways functioning. Things like MTHFR mutations really impact the body's ability to detox and when you add chelators you can cause more harm than good. That's why working with an experienced practitioner is really helpful.
@@Deliciousobsessions When you say "people who don't have their detox pathways functioning", is this not a belief instead of a fact? Have you ever seen the detox pathways or are you relying on opinions of others as truth? If you go to the bathroom, your detox pathways are functioning, else, what is the body ridding itself of through #1 and #2 then?
@@theonlyexpert that’s not what she is talking about. Detox pathways are not just urinating or deficating, but actual biochemical ways that the liver deals with toxins. She is right that there are certain health conditions in which the detox pathways don’t work as well as others such as MTHFR in which the body can’t process folic acid.
@@silencio1234 Ever seen those pathways yourself? What proof have you of this belief other than opinions and words of others, i.e. hearsay.
Hi Jessica, did you do IV chelation therapy? Do you have a video where you share what you did to prepare for the amalgam mercury removal?
+Miranda Martinez Thanks for stopping by! I did not do chelation. Both my practitioner and I feel that chelation is too drastic for where I am right now in my health. And truly, only a very small percentage of people need chelation. In general, it's going to be too tough on the body for the average person. I see a lot of people who jump into chelation only to do more harm than good. I do have a video that I did prior to the procedure here: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html. Thanks for watching!
Where did you go to have it removed properly? I’m looking for one
Hi. Thanks for your story. I had mine done when I was very young. May be 9 or 10. I have always had a hard time recalling any memories of when I was young and in general. Based on your research, do you believe that could be related to the amalgams? I used to be very sharp but for the last few years I feel like a zombie. Could the amalgams had anything to do with it? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for watching! Possibly. Heavy metals can do really harmful things to our brain function and we are exposed to so many of them every day, not just in our amalgam fillings. If you suspect that heavy metals are playing a role in your health and memory issues, I'd recommend reaching out to a holistic practitioner who specializes in heavy metal treatment. I know so many people who have addressed heavy metals and it completely changed their health for the better. Best wishes to you!
ABSOLUTELY. YOUR AMALGAM IS TO BLAME!!
Hi. Thank you for sharing. Did you have them biologically removed? I used a biological dentist and had all removed. A total of 7 and like you i have had terrible fatigue. Its been a month since my last removal. I feel a little better
Hi Edward! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, they were done by a highly trained biological dentist. He actually studied with Dr. Huggins, which is why I felt confident using him. It took me about 2 years of research to find a dentist that I felt good with. I hope you are starting to feel better. Do you have a practitioner you're working with to help support detox? Wishing you all the best!
this is why we should have listened to our parents at a young age and brushed our teeth every day.. then we wouldn't have this toxic crap in our teeth
im chronical ill from fibromyalgia and pnes (stress composed seizures) and i already struggle with some fattigue and almost 3 weeks ago i had most of my amalgam fillings removed while in full anasthesia to fix some teeths that i broke under seizures (because of seizures i couldnt get it fixed normally) the dentist desided to remove them because they were big and could potentional be the cause of my teeeth breaking so easily (i didnt know until after) and the first 14 days i was so sick, all my symtoms flared up. and the fattige was worse than it have ever been. i got so scared because at one point my illnesses chained me to the bed for a year. and i didnt know at the time that it could be from the removal. but after reading up on it when the fattigued liftet im possitive this is what it was. i did the same as you. i optet my detoxing tools and suppliments. and yesterday and today i feel like this cloud has been liftet. i almost feel like my self years ago. exhausted but more clearheadet.
How are you doing now ?
@@armandosilva3669 im actully better than ive been in over 3 years. Before I had at least 60+seizures a month, so fattigued i could barely move and lots of pain. Since the removal ive only had 4 seizures. Very little pain and the fattigue is at its lowest. If its that or a mixture of that and all the other things ive been doing to get better i dont kkow. But it DEFENTLY did something 🙏❤
Do you know anything about removal of a gold crown
Did you do the detox correctly way before & try to boost the immune system before you did the procedure? I read your immune system needs to be in good shape before starting removal of amalgam?!!! Just Sayin did you go to smart dentist they should of given you charcoal before & after procdeure did the dr & assistant wear proper ppe for procedure & keep you protected as well as protocols of IAOMT?!!! ETC!!!
This was like a year ago, but when you get a filling, does it hurt? I need to get 3 fillings in 3 weeks. I'm 13(almost 14) but I hear a variety of things. To "IT HURTS SO FREAKIN BAD" to "It only hurts a little at the injection point", idk what to expect anymore. And I'm seriously scared cause I never got a filling before, let alone having to get 3 done.....
Hi +Nekochii Chan - Honestly, I don't remember. All of my fillings were from when I was a lot younger (like 20+ years ago) so I don't remember if they hurt, though every one that I had always was numbed with novocaine before they started work on me so I couldn't feel anything anyways. :) Best wishes to you on your healing journey!
ty, what kind of material are your new amalgams of?
+M. Eduardo Millan They are a composite material that was created specifically for my needs based on allergy testing my dentist did. He does allergy testing prior to removal to ensure that the material they use to repair the teeth after the removal won't cause any issues. I recommend most people get that allergy testing done so that they can be more confident that they won't react to the new fillings.
Hi Jessica , i just stumbled on this hole Mercury fillings . i hated going to the dentist so i have a mouthful of fillings . i cant believe all of what im reading about this subject ! i didnt know any of this and so i never heard ur original story. So did u have ur your teeth pulled or refilled ?? if refilled did u use porcelain ? Michelle H.
Hi Misha! There is a lot that we don't know when it comes to health! Things are always shifting as new research comes to light and we have to be willing to ebb and flow with it. :) You can watch my original video here where I talked about my preparation: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html. I had mine refilled with a special composite material that was created specifically for me based on materials allergy testing that we did prior to the removal.
I'm having my entire front bridge of my top teeth removed tomorrow. Also having one of my Mercury fillings removed and replaced with porcelain filling. I have had chronic hives from heat since I have had the bridge work done over 20 years ago. EVERYTHING I have researched pointed to my autoimmune stuff to my bridge work. I also recently been suffering from acid reflux. I have a chip in my bridge and was wondering if my reflux could be due to that?!? Again they seem to have happened simultaneously like my hives did after I got the bridge work done. I am beyond looking forward to tomorrow. This is costing me over 10,000 dollars due to my extensive bride work having to be done, but I can finally afford it!!!!
Stephanie Foster good luck! ☺️
Hi Stephanie - I hope everything went OK with your removal! There is such a strong link between dental work and other chronic conditions. We keep learning more and more about how our dental health affects our overall health. I really hope everything went well and that you are recovering nicely. :)
@@Deliciousobsessions how sweet of you to check in with me 😊 OMG you brought me to tears. EVERYTHING went well. Three and a half hours later. My top of my mouth, pretty much my gums are extremely sore yet which he said is normal because of how angry they looked with the amount of metal in my mouth. Gums were very inflammed prior to even going. He is making my new bridge so I will go back in two weeks to get everything completed. I have porcelain temporary bridge and he showed me the porcelain material all. He told me yesterday that I was officially Mercury free in my now, which is a wonderful feeling. I am drinking a detox and digestive super food supplement. I have had this over twenty years so I'm guessing I will need to stay detoxing for a few months to six if not longer. Thanks again for checking up on me 😊
@@Deliciousobsessions also I will be going back to my naturopathic doctor at the end of May and see how everything is going. I have already been taking for years liposomal vitamin c, iodine,cod liver oil, probiotics and aloe vera gel for inflammation. I am pretty tired today. I would say it feels like I have been hit with a bat. I know everyday will get better.
Hi Stephanie! I am so sorry that I am just now seeing this two weeks later. I somehow missed the notification about your reply. I am SO happy to hear things went smoothly and that you were feeling good. Hopefully you still are!! Thanks for taking the time to come back and comment. I enjoyed reading your experience and I know others appreciate when people share things like this as well.
I had 2 large amalgam fillings removed last week and have been experiencing this "low grade" and persistent headache for days. I hardly get headaches so it's my guess that this is corelated. This wasn't done by a bio dentist so I am also thinking I might have absorbed a good amount of mercury.
Did the dentist use a rubber dam and a mercury vacuum? Where you given oxygen thru a nose cone?
Hey Jessica I recently removed 2 of the 9 fillings and the next day after the removal I felt really nauseous and fatigue! I have 7 left on top left and right , Should I remove them all together ? Or half and half ? And when should I start the detox I’m really scared how my body will react :(
Hi Victor! So sorry you had such a negative reaction. Since I'm not a doctor, I can't really advise you but I recommend chatting with your dentist about what happened and maybe making a plan to remove them one or two at a time so you can potentially avoid or reduce any negative reactions. You might also consider looking for a functional medicine doctor or other practitioner who is well-versed in heavy metals and see if you might need extra detox support. Some people are really sensitive to the mercury and can experience worse symptoms than others. Best wishes on your journey!
Any new updates a few years later? I am surprised that getting your amalgams removed the correct way set back your health, but the 6 prior did not fatigue you?
Hi Lauren - Thanks for stopping by! I don't have any specific health updates since this video. I don't really talk a lot about my health journey publicly anymore as I discuss in this video: czcams.com/video/M9it9LjJVZw/video.html. I was quite young (relatively speaking) when I had the previous amalgams removed unsafely and honestly, I think those removals played a role in my developing chronic autoimmune issues 10-15 years later. There really is no way to know how heavy metal exposure impacts our individual health. The development of chronic conditions is always caused by more than one single thing. In addition to the amalgams, I was exposed to a lot of toxic industrial chemicals and environmental contaminants in my late teens/early 20s and I suspect those could have also played a role. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Jessica, Thanks for this video. I had my amalgams removed two weeks ago and now I have this bad fatigue, and mental fog. What supplements I can have to overcome this?
Hi. I'm considering having this done, too. I was told I have about 7 fillings with mercury in them. My thought is that, as the lady said in the video, is that if I have ALL 7 taken out AT ONE TIME (in one visit) and replaced with something else, that I might have bad detox symptoms that might get really uncomfortable. So, for that reason, I"m considering only having 3 taken out in one day, wait and see how I feel, then have the other 4 removed a month or so later, so I don't go through too many bad symptoms. Does this make sense? I'm going to ask a holistic dentist about my idea about this, also.
@@brynne77I feel great after a month. Yes fatigue and rest do metal detox will post videos on my page later.
@@moniqueonealYinYangBoss77 monique, what did you do? Did you have mercury fillings taken out, too? How did you have it done?
Getting 3 out on Tuesday 8 September!!!
I hope everything went well! When you take the fillings out what do they do to the tooth? Is there a safer filling option, or does the tooth need to be extracted since it now has an exposed hole?
I have one silver filling that I got in 2009. I had very low vitamin d levels back then. I went to a dentist who just put it in without giving me a choice to say no I didn't want the silver filling. I was at the appointment and in the dental chair. The dentist couldn't do the white filling like I wanted because of my severe gag reflex. So, without asking me if I wanted to go to a dentist who offered IV sedation so that I could get the white filling, he decided that the silver was good enough and just packed it in my tooth. I was so angry. I walked out of his dental office and found a dental office that offered IV Sedation. I got a few teeth cavities filled with white that time. I didn't talk to the dentist I was seeing when I got the white fillings because he was friends with the dentist who put the silver filling in my tooth. I moved to a different state, but went to a dentist who didn't offer IV sedation. But when a white filling needed to be fixed he referred me to a dentist who offers IV Sedation, so now I'm a patient at that dental office. The silver filling is still in my tooth but I would love it to be removed. A Facebook friend told me to leave it in my tooth because as we grind down when eating or clinching the filling gets damaged so it is best to leave it in until it's ready to be replaced. I'm going to ask my dentist because his office is a mercury free office and see if he'll remove it anyway. It's scratched, but it's still intact. I really don't want to wait until I'm 79 or 80 years old to get it removed. I think I have insomnia even though it's just one silver filling. I don't think I think clearly. I forget right away where I left my phone or something else. My family has a history or kidney and liver problems. I want the silver filling out just to be safe. The Facebook friend also said I would have sensitivity after getting the silver filling removed. I read comments from a few people their sensitivity was gone after a few weeks. It's something I really would love to talk to my dentist about. If it can be done he could fill in a tooth that the filling fell out from and couldn't fix it before because of my severe gag reflex. I'll have to see what he says.
Use chlorella and organic cilantro juice to help detox from these metals.
Hi Jordan! Thanks for watching! Yes, those are definitely two herbs that are helpful for metal detox. I eat a lot of cilantro, but do not react well to chlorella so I have to avoid that one.
I'm still spitting out poison 6 months later. It is stuck in my gum. Getting it removed didn't fix my symptoms bc the dentist didn't remove it from the gum and where it had leaked to 😢
Yes 👏🏼
Iʻm planning to remove mines I have 6 silver fillings from when i was small, how much would it cost to remove them and replace them with composite fillings? Is the procedure painful?
Hi +Alana Paiva - Thanks for watching! The procedure was not painful at all, but I chose to have novocaine so everything was numb. As far as cost, I can't really say. I found prices to vary A LOT just here in my area so it's really going to depend on your market. I would recommend interviewing as many dentists as possible and getting quotes from them before moving forward. You want to take the time to research them and make sure that they are properly trained in safe removal protocols. Best wishes!
well since I had it done the wrong and I have health insurance I think I got mine one silver filling removed for free. If you have it done the proper way it cost a lot of money. Don't know how much and all but I think it cost a lot to have it removed the proper way. I think 10 minutes of removing it the wrong way is better than paying out a lot of money. And I didn't feel sick afterwards or anything. Now I have two small ones to go back and remove in about a month and then I will be relieved that I have no more silver fillings. A few years ago I had my 1st silver filling removed and the cavity was too deep and I ended up needing a root canal. THis time I am fine just a soar tooth but it doesn't bother me to eat and so I know that the swollen nerve causing the soarness will go down. That's what happens from all the drilling. He said there was a spot that was deep. But this tooth will be fine. And root canals are bad too and so I am lucky this tooth took and wont need a root canal. And I am rambling on.
You shouldn't need a root canal if you not having any pain, some dentist want you to have a root canal but that when you look for another dentist. I have a tooth knock loss and that tooth needed a root canal. Then my dentist set the tooth back in place. It took and I been living with it for 40 years with out any problems. I have caps. I chose gold for the rear teeth.
No my dentist doesn't like root canals at all he likes the patient to wait a while to make sure. I had a root canal a few years ago because after a filing was removed it bothered me a lot to eat on that tooth and the tooth bothered me a lot. This tooth is a large tooth next to the tooth I had the root canal on. I was crossing my fingers with this tooth. This time this tooth was different I went through pain for a few weeks and was taking Tylenol and then I was going to just a soar tooth or a soar tooth a little after I eat depending what I ate and how hard I bit down. Wednesday will be a month since the silver filling was removed. Well so far I get some soarness and I notice that the tooth feels a little funny if I drank cold water or bit into cold cheese or something but even that improved in a few days. THis might be the last part of my healing i hope in a week i feel nothing when i eat. And then i will call him and make a appointment to remove the other two fillings.
My sister is really big on removing silver fillings the correct way and i saw on utube how they remove them the correct way. Now i don't know how much hers cost but when she wanted to have my mothers fillings removed they found out the cost would be $5,000 dollars and so my mother didn't have them removed. I have no idea how many fillings my mother has i asked her and she said she doesn't know. She is 82 years old. My sister doesn't know i had mine removed the Wrong way!! She would of been shocked if she knew i removed them the wrong way. I guess some day i will tell her that i removed them the wrong way because i got them removed for free since my health insurance covered it plus i really didn't care. Plus my dentist has always been able do a good job with filling a tooth because of a cavity or removing a filling. In the past i had problems with some of my teeth after having a cavity etc and he always said just wait a few weeks and the soarness will go down. And he was always right the tooth always ended up fine. So i figured that even if i am breathing in the toxins of a silver filling removal at least he removed the filling correctly. Its like i have a lot of trust in him with my teeth. I would of felt afraid going somewhere else. My sister gave me the name of someone to remove them the correct way and i ignored it. But i know he doesn't remove silver fillings the safe way. A lot of dentist are like that if you want the filling removed they will listen.
Selenium helps protect the body from the toxic effects of heavy metals such as mercury in amalgam fillings. The selenium binds to the heavy metals rendering them harmless. Natural selenium in foods such as Brazil nuts may be more effective than from a supplement.
Does selenium still work and protect you if you have fillings and cant get them removed yet?
@@HoneeyBee3 Yes.
Iodine also helps heavy metal toxicity
my dentist put 2 mercury amalgams in 2018 January. In october 2018 I had hpylori infection in my stomach. In Feb 2019, I went to same dentist, he without even asking drilled my one filling to give it a shape and asked me to spit. In March 2019 I had severe gastritis. Doc told me to take 10 days Antibioitcs which I took. Soon after taking them I fely so weak fatigue. still now I am fatigue.
I have still 2 mercury fillings.
Is it a good time to get them removed as I am alrrady in Pain
:( If I give it a gap what should I do then to detox already present mercury.
i have started eating 2 cloves raw garlic everyday.
yougurt , ginger, rice , chicken, almonds , some cabbage is all my diet.
need help
Hi Miriam - I am so very sorry you have had to go through all of that! I would recommend looking for a biological dentist in your area and speaking to them about your case. A good place to start the search is: iaomt.org/resources/safe-removal-amalgam-fillings/. Best wishes on your healing journey. I hope you're able to get some answers and relief soon!
how long did you have your amalgams ?
Hi Tony - A large chunk of my life. Most of them I got when I was still a child so 2-3 decades.
I'm confused. I would expect that removing the amalgam would be a positive impact immediately. Why after they were removed did you feel worse for awhile? I would like to understand why anyone would not feel better right away. Thanks!
+No Flowers Please When it comes to amalgam removal, it's impossible to know how someone will react. I know people who have felt great immediately after, and others, like myself, who have suffered health problems because of the removal (I know a few people who have had extremely serious side effects after the removal). The main issue that arises is that no matter how many safety protocols are followed during the procedure, there is still some exposure to the mercury vapors. Also, the removal triggers a detox reaction in the body as it tries to rid itself of stored metals. Unfortunately, some people have impaired detox pathways (due to methylation problems), which can make heavy metal detoxing difficult and in some cases impossible. Stored metals have a serious impact on our overall health, including our thyroid, adrenals, liver, etc. In the long-term it is beneficial to get them removed, but it's also important to understand that there could be negative effects temporarily as your body detoxes. Hope that helps!
No Flowers Please Removing amalgam fillings is like removing asbestos from a house. Your highest exposure will come at the time of removal.
Because during the removal you ingest more mercury than normally which can result in health issues following the removal. You should feel better few weeks later as the body detoxes. The removal itself exposes you to more mercury than if you left them alone hence it has to be done very carefully.
What's supplements should I take if I still have amalgam except chelation
+Eli Munoz Unfortunately, I can't give you any recommendations regarding supplements. I would talk to your doctor or practitioner about it and see what they recommend for your specific needs! Have a great day!
Garlic helps a lot.
So what did you get them replaced with? Composite?
Hi Katrin - Yes, it is a composite material that my dentist created for me based on my dental materials allergy testing that we did prior to the procedure.
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions Thank you. I found a dentist that specializes in safe amalgram removal that lives an hour away from me and I'm going to call him tomorrow!
Hi Katrina! Awesome! Best of luck on the process! Always go with your gut. If he doesn't feel right then don't move forward with him. You'll find the right dentist for your needs. :)
Water Fasting, activated charcoal, and dry sauna really helped me detox
I was in Mexico and I got all my mercury removed from my teeth, ever since I came back I haven't been able to even look at food. Maybe the mercury causes cravings.
Possibly, good observation, thanks📌

Did they use strict protocol procedure ?
Hi Dyan! Yep! That is why it took me well over 2 years to get them removed. I spent a LONG time researching safe procedures and then interviewing and researching dentists to find the right one for me. You can watch my previous video about what I did to prepare for the removal here: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html
I am planning on getting mine removed, I have 4, I'm so worried about how my body will react because I'm petite, I think I will get them removed one at a time over the course of the year
Hi Nicole A! There really is no way to know how your body will react. I know people who have had no issues at all and others who got way sicker than me. The best advice I can give is to make sure you use a dentist who has been extensively trained in safe amalgam removal. Best wishes to you! I hope everything goes smoothly!! :)
Gerardo Argueta I had 2 removed and they charge based on the size of the filling plus a removal fee, to replace the filling cost $246 u.s. dollars and the removal fee is $95, I did get sick after each removal but it cleared up in a few days, I still have more to remove
need job
Did they do the entire "safe removal" procedure like the IAOMT recommends? Or did they just simply remove and replace? That price seems so incredibly low to me.
poolahpot yes it was completely safe, she used a dam, suction, ozone as well as full body protection and mask. It may seem low because the removal is based on how much the amalgam covers on the surface of the tooth and mine cover mostly the top of the tooth and not the entire tooth, so if your amalgam covers the top and sides of the tooth they will charge more
need job
WOW! that's awesome.
The holistic dentist I called here in FL wants 400 for the first two hour consultation! It does include x-rays, but that seems VERY high to me. I'm scared to see the price of the actual remove/replace procedure! :/
I don't have a good feeling concerning the pricing.
I will let you know, but it's not until the beginning of April.
I had a silver filling removed from my back tooth almost a week ago the wrong way and I have felt totally fine. When this soar tooth heals from the drilling and stuff I will have two small ones on the top removed. But like I said I felt totally fine. Some people will react to the toxins your breathing in during removal more than others. I am just relieved to get that toxic old silver filling out of my mouth that was probably 40 years old since I am 50 and like I said I will get the other two removed which I believe are more new that I probably got when I was a teenager. Again I felt totally fine. If anything I felt better. I might even have better concentration.
So glad you've had a positive experience! It really does vary from person to person. You never really know how your body will respond until you do it. I know some people whose health crashes (and sometimes quite severely) and then others, like you, who have no issues at all! Glad you are feeling good!
I’m 50 had mine removed in which been in there for over 20 years now I’m feeling off and on pain in tooth do you feel any pain
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions now it’s been almost 3 weeks since the filling was removed. My tooth had hurt and I was talking Tylenol but my tooth keeps feeling better and better. I take way less Tylenol I don’t need it anymore. My tooth still gets soar but it should be fine in a few more weeks. From the very beginning it didn’t bother me to eat on it and so I still think the tooth will be fully healed in a few more weeks. He said don’t eat anything hard on it for a month. The cavity was a bit large but not not the time I had a root canal. Now if I would of needed a root canal I wouldn’t of been able to eat on the tooth at all and so I think the soreness should go away in two more weeks. Yes it’s a long time to be soar but at least it’s not hurting like it use to and I don’t need Tylenol. So once this tooth is fine I’ll get the other two silver fillings removed. Now if this tooth doesn’t heal I can pull it since it’s in the back because root canals are BAD too. That’s my update. But as for my health I’ve been totally fine and normal. No tiredness no headaches or anything like that. I’ve been fully fine.
Hi Cassandra - I had some pain after the procedure, but that was general soreness from the dental work and dissipated with a little time. I would definitely reach out to your dentist and ask them about that. I am certain they could give you some insight as to why that would be happening and if any further repair needs to be done to help alleviate that pain for you. Dental pain is NO FUN! Sending you healing vibes! :)
HI Sheri! So glad things seem to be going well for you (minus the pain). Hopefully, that will continue to subside and go away completely in no time. You may be one of the people who have zero side effects, which would be great! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)
I removed my 2 amaglam fillings safely but ever since i have headache every single day its been like 5 days I'm nit getting better
Hi Dastan! I am so sorry to hear this! I would definitely speak to your dentist and/or your practitioner about this. Wishing you all the best as you heal!
This comment is fake.. Keep seeing it in many other CZcams channels that talk about this subject
Jessica, when you had your amalgams removed did the dentist use crowns on those teeth?
Hi +Sheila meri - No, I did not need crowns on them. The amalgams were replaced with a composite material that was developed specifically for me based on material sensitivity testing that we did prior. Hope that helps! :)
The dentist that removed mine also did not use caps. I have had nothing but problems following this procedure!! I had one root canal in one of the teeth. She had seen this coming and would not acknowledge that she was responsible for it. Then two other teeth needed root canals!! I had one extracted. I am very sorry that I had this done. I had no health problems and as far as I am concerned this woman took advantage of a growing concern for health that is going around. I need to make a video and put it on here.
Hi +Sheila meri - I am SO sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. :( I have had bad dental experiences before too and they truly are a nightmare. It pains me to hear the struggles you've had since the procedure. It is sad to hear that your dentist took advantage of the situation. That is unethical and I would be seeing what legal recourse I had against that dentist, especially if she did take care of your needs properly after the procedure.
When it comes to amalgam removal, it is not something that a dentist should do to prey on patients. I advise everyone I meet NOT to get an amalgam removal without doing a TON of research, vetting properly trained dentists, and getting their health needs in order before and after the procedure. Some people have no issues, others have very severe and even life-threatening issues after. Sadly there is no way to know how your body will react. That is why it took me more than 2 years of research and working on my own health before I felt ready to make this move. For me, getting the mercury out of my body so I could detox was very important for my long-term health and also to avoid issues with conception and pregnancy. But I know people (like my parents) who have had amalgams their entire life with no issues that we know of. Again, so sorry for your struggles!
Thanks for your response. I am going to try to re-coop my losses with legality. I had a root canal done today and the receptionist in my doctors office was telling me that she has been in dentistry for over 10 years and has seen many people have problems like mine after amalgam removal. People need to put more on youtube about this. I want to do a video, but google wants a lot of my contact information in order to allow me to do this. I would like your opinion on this since you have submitted your video on here. Do you think it wise? I really want to do this. Let me know if you think they take advantage of all my contacts and so forth. If you give the thumbs up I will load my video. Thanks so much for taking the time to connect with me. I appreciate it!!! Sheila
Hi +Sheila meri - I hope that legal action serves you well! Again, so sorry you're having to deal with this. So frustrating! Like I said, there are always risks with amalgam removals and that is why you have to be well-educated and seek out properly trained dentists. Not every dentist is trained on safe removal methods. That is always why I have been very vocal on CZcams, my website, and social media about this. It is not a decision to undertake lightly.
I am on CZcams because videos are a part of my health and wellness business. I can't really advise as to whether or not you should join CZcams and upload videos. That is definitely a personal decision and the more info you give Google, the more they know about you. So, you have to weigh it out and see what you are most comfortable with! :) Best wishes to you!!!
can I ask . . .why do we get sick when they are taken out ? Because there is less mercury ? I am in my 40s and have about 10 fillings .. .some of which are falling out so I have to get them removed really. but I'm a bit shocked to hear that I may have problems . . I am doing a lot with a new business at the moment and don't want to be hit with exhaustion . . .any advice please !!

Hi Nick! Thank you for sharing your resources! I appreciate it. Clodagh - the reaction is really going to depend on the person. With that many, most biological dentists are going to recommend removing them slowly to minimize any adverse effects. Wishing you all the best on your healing journey!
i had one filling removed unsafely. no mask no dam just suction. whats going to happen to me?
Hi! If you haven't had any side effects from the removal then you may not react. Some people can have them removed without proper safety protocols and never feel any side effects. Others do. We are each so unique that we don't know how we'll respond to things like this until we go through it. If you do start having symptoms of mercury toxicity, fatigue, brain fog, etc., I would recommend reaching out to your doctor to discuss possible causes. Best wishes to you!
How did they remove the fillings ? Like what all they did ? Dental dam ? What eles ?
Hi Michael - They had a dental dam in my mouth, oxygen, a special guard over all of my face and upper body that just left my mouth exposed. They also have a special ventilation system in the room where they do the procedure to help mitigate fumes created by the drilling. The doctor and support staff were all wearing protective gear as well. Hope that helps!
What about a vitamin C drip in IV?
This practitioner did not use an IV drip of any kind for my procedure.
HOW many did you get out?
Hi Zenith - There were 3 total that needed to be removed this time around. But I've had a number of them removed in the past before I ever knew anything about the dangers and proper removal procedures. :(
So if one have amalgam fillings but doesn't experience any adverse effect it is better to leave them in?
no... seriously get them replaced when u can. It can be till you are 50 to show symptoms of mercury toxicity.
@@kae2678 what do you replace them with as a safer alternative? My dentist acted oblivious when I told him I wanted something other than silver, mercury, or amalgam.
I just came our of the dentist with 4 amalgam fillings! And I absolutely regret it I don't like it I feel uncomfortable with it. What should i do I want to remove them asap
Hi +Dastan Al-Hafid! I am so sorry to hear this. How frustrating! I did a video on how I personally prepared for my amalgam filling removal here: czcams.com/video/8B_2MiaL4Ng/video.html
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions Thanks you soo much for answering but how will i know if the dentist is good at removing them safely?! I'm going back to the same dentist that i had the fillings in he said i can remove them for u but for extra money? Should I trust him?
search for... safe amalgam removal + your state. This is how I was able to find a dentist in my state that follows safe removal procedures. It's unbelievable they are still putting mercury into peoples teeth.
Das tan
What happened?
Go to the IAOMT website. They have a list of mercury safe removal dentists.
hey, my wife got multiple of these fillings sort of like 4-6 fillings in total. I am concerned about having a baby. will it be a factor? I think it will cost a lot of money i guess?
Hi Mikimaus - Thanks for stopping by. Since everyone's body is different I can't really give any specific advice. My own practitioners did recommend that I remove mine before we ever tried to conceive, so that was one of the reasons I went ahead and did it. I would advise having your wife meet with a biological/holistic dentist to evaluate her situation. She might also want to meet with a holistic doctor or naturopath who can help her with any needed testing and support to get ready to conceive. Best wishes to you both1
I had my amalgams with all 3 of my pregnancies. I am in the process of having them removed as I had only known from a year ago that they contained mercury and were dangerous. I had two healthy pregnancies and children with them in and one miscarriage that may or may not be related hope this helps your decision. Me personally I would have them removed before ttc
Laiken Jordan Thank you for sharing your story! 💖 I agree that if possible it's a good idea to get them out before trying to conceive. My practitioners all said it's best to get them out well in advance (at least 1-2 years) prior to give the body plenty of time to detox. That said, there are plenty of woman who have healthy children while they have amalgams. I never want people to get overly stressed or fearful about anything. We all have to make the best choices for our health with the resources and finances we have at the time. 😊
Thank you Laiken! Best regards
Thank you Jessica! You are such a good soul. Bless you
Did they take all safety precautions recommended by top dds
If you have removed them then how did you deal with an empty gap ? I hate mine and my doc was an a$$
They replace them with non-toxic fillings.
I seem to be the only one who is suffering after my amalgams were removed. My teeth are really bothering me. I had this done on August 21st 2015, almost four months ago. At first I was fine. However, now a capped tooth on the top of my mouth and an amalgam removed on the bottom is hurting so much. They are both on the left side of my mouth. I am going to call my dentists office again.
+Sheila meri Yes, definitely call the dentist! There is always going to be risk when getting any sort of dental work done. I have had quite a few ups and downs this year since getting them removed. Hopefully your dentist will be able to take care of your teeth without too much trouble. Best wishes! :)
Hi, I did go back to the dentist. She said that the bite had to be worked on. I never knew that they need to align the bite perfectly. Like I said I had gotten a tooth capped and this is why it was bothering me. So I learned something new!! She drilled the cap down and some of the other tooth as well. I must admit that I am feeling much better after that!! However, I am going for a second opinion. Thanks for responding!!!!
+Sheila meri Oh good! So glad she was able to offer some answers. People don't realize how important it is to get the bite right. It's something I've struggled with too. I think mine is still a bit off even after some work. I am SO glad you got some relief and I fully support getting a second opinion too! Best wishes and thanks for taking the time to stop back by! :)

Why no coffee enemas?
Have you tried oil pulling??
How many fillings do you have?
+simon292pass I had 3 that were removed this spring. I have probably had about 6 that we removed unsafely about 10 years ago. That was before I knew anything about this kind of stuff! :)
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions how did your body handle the unsafe removal of 6?
My dentist placed amalgam filling today :/. But it doesn't look "metal" as others, like it's inside the cavity and then covered with white filling... However i'm not planning on keeping them forever but also i'm not planning on removing it by regular dentist
+John Mirra Interesting! The only amalgams I had were when I was a kid and they were the solid metal look (no porcelain overlay). Sometimes we have to do what we have to do. I do agree with you on not having them removed by a regular dentist though! When you get ready to think about removal, the IAOMT site is a great place to start: iaomt.org/. They have info on there about safe removal and how to find a dentist in your area. Thanks for stopping by! :)
❤❤❤❤
How many did you have removed and did you remove all of them in one session?
+Lisa Scott I only had 3 removed, as that is all I had left in my mouth. Yes, they were all removed at the same time. The whole procedure took about 3 hours if I remember correctly.
Jessica Espinoza | Delicious Obsessions - Many say the teeth often die after filling removal. Is this an issue?
Btw it is not free to remove and replace all 5 and a crown replacement is going to cost over $3,000 to me!!!
Please, try Chelation therapy. Not the intravenous kind, you want Alpha Lipoic Acid in oral form. If you are wanting more information, search up Dr. Andrew Cutler protocol.
The key to Chelating heavy metals, is to not taking tablets randomly. Anyways, for more info, please search up Dr. Cutler, absolutely amazing and extremely vital information. Detoxing (Especially from mercury) can be difficult. Chelation is key.
Hi Sarah! Thanks for sharing! I'm not in need of this info at this time, but I am sure someone else will benefit. I appreciate you stopping by!
I have 7 amalgam fillings and it's going to cost $15,000 to have them removed & replaced. I can't afford that... is there any other options?
Chris Eckenrode Getting amalgam fillings removed properly can be expensive. That's why it took me over 3 years before I finally made the move to take mine out. I would definitely get evaluations from different dentists. There is probably going to be a variation of cost between each dentist. Also check with your insurance (if you have dental insurance) to see if there is any coverage for getting amalgams removed. Sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't. Many times people will have their amalgams removed over time, maybe one or two at a time as they can afford it. Depending on where you live, you may also speak to dentists in other cities to see if there is a great variation in cost. Depending on what the cost difference is, it might be worth a little bit of travel expense, if the dentist is properly trained. Best wishes to you on your healing journey!
Annapolis green dental in MD is one good and reasonable place. The price you quoted is a rip off. Our family has gotten much work done in MD and CA. Many good dentists now do to safe amalgam removal, but do not advertise. It must be done as safely as possible. Do the blood test for materials compatibility, biocomp is one. Do only one quadrant at a time. Do not use oxygen, facilitates absorption into brain. Good luck
In CA, see Brian Smith DDS, Marin Dental Wellness.
15k???? What dentist are you going to????
It looks like you have " Mercury Sensitivity ". Recently, I discovered why I am... Fatigue, Light Sensitivity, Fluorescent Light Sensitivity, LED Light Sensitivity, Headaches, Brain-Fog, Weak, Feeling Cold, Electrical Sensitivity, Etc.... Etc... Even Soap Sensitivity, YES... SOAP.... That is how it lead me to " Mercury ". Lye Soap is based off of " Mercury " in productions, so every-time I use Soap, I get tired! Because of my Soap Venture recently, I discovered why I am tired all the time... This is ALL due to Mercury and Mercury Based Products! I will be doing a BIG Video soon on this... Explaining my symptoms and sickness in the video.
Yes, I definitely did have some sensitivity to it. I also think that it played a role in my chronic illnesses as well. We are exposed to a lot of mercury without even realizing it. Sending you all the best on your healing journey!
@@Deliciousobsessions - THANK YOU for the well wishes and 2X to you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *Also, I agree 100% with " We are exposed to a lot of mercury without even realizing it. ".* When you have a moment, please check out a Video I've made recently about Bar Soaps, it will help you I'm sure..... See Link: czcams.com/video/j049HW5m8Jo/video.html
or you could just be a hyperchondriac
@@steveelliott241 - YES, especially come from a person who CAN NOT spell "hyperchondriac". Hahahahahahahaha, hypochondriac. Stupid is as stupid does! -Forrest Gump. LMFAO 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
@@JodBronson however you spell it , its what you must be
I have in my mouth it's reuine my life. Am half blind and doctors refuse to move the teeth
WHITE SUNNY SAND I'm so sorry to hear that. You need to find a holistic or biological dentist in your area. They are going to be the ones trained in safe amalgam removal. Best wishes on your healing journey!
So sorry for you
How do you feel now, how are you?
Hi Kelsie! Thanks for watching! The amalgam removal actually triggered some other health issues for me, but those are on the mend. Healing is such a journey! It's like peeling an onion. You "fix" one layer only to uncover deeper issues that need healing. :)
Any updates??
Hi Mary - Thanks for watching! Since filming this video several years ago, I made the choice to stop sharing so much information about my healing journey. I recorded this video discussing why: czcams.com/video/M9it9LjJVZw/video.html. I still share some stuff, but it is much more general and not as in-depth and personal as I once was. :)
coffee enema !?
I was thinking the same thing! Lol I never even knew that existed.
Mercury poising
Hi Sharon! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, that can definitely be an issue for some. I am thankful that my levels were not bad and didn't cause me any severe problems.
@luckybutterfly 010 A month has gone by. How are you feeling?
You cant detox mercury.
HI! Actually, you can. There are a lot of different ways to do it. The method depends on the individual person. Not everyone is going to need heavy chelation therapy, but some folks might depending on their toxicity levels (and often they've had exposure elsewhere, like welders for example). Cheers!
GO GO GO too much energy
What do you eat gal?
usa gal LOL! Thanks! This body is fueled by real food and non-toxic living! ❤
you should make a video on this. What you mean by real food and non-toxic living
so we can learn from you. I'm always drained out and feel fatigue.
Thank you darling. I do have 3 silver teeth needs to be removed soon.
usa gal Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep that in mind! I talk all about real food (meaning food as close to the way God made it) and natural living (choosing skin, body, and home care products that don't contain harmful chemicals, fragrances, etc.) on this CZcams channel and on my site. I'd encourage you to check out my websites for over 1,000 real food recipes, health, and nutrition articles. You can find those here:
