Hi,
I'd like to know if there are people here who have or had amalgam fillings and symptoms related to them that went away by going raw. Or did anybody here have a detox? Or does anybody here struggle still with sick health though being raw for quite some time and still has amalgam fillings?
I really think that amalgam fillings or mercury toxicity keeps one from thriving on raw. At least that is what I experience.
For sure. First priority is obviously getting the amalgams removed & replaced with porcelin fillings by a safe, progressive dentist ASAP. From there, do juice fasts w/ sauna sessions, p lenty of distilled water....stay mostly raw at all costs and BE PATIENT. I had all my amalgams removed about 5 years ago and noticed some dramatic changes immediately, but noticed most of the key benefits much later....
Can any dentists do this? I have always wanted to do this. The last dentist I went to said it was too dangerous and would release more chemicals. I didn't really believe her, though. (I believe it might release chemicals but that should not be a reason not to try and get them out of my mouth!)

I would like to do this too. I'm waiting til I get the guts.. There is a dentist in my area who does it, and does "healing" stuff with people too, so I thought he would be good, but then there is a whole Yahoo group dedicated to stuff like that, and there are so many things to make sure and be careful of, that it got me freaked out, and I'm putting it off.
I'm not all raw, so I can't really answer the question, but I would love to hear other people's stories.
Steven, thanks for the info. do you know if its really bad to use MSM and chlorella while you have mercury poisoning/amalgam fillings? Have you heard anything about that?
I had my amalgam fillings removed and replaced a few years ago. I didn't really notice any differences. The mercury in the amalgam's could be causing your symptoms. I use liquid zeolite to chelate the mercury.
Thanks for your reply.
Well I have already a loooong detox story, and I have improved in many ways, that was all before raw. But I still have lots of issues going on and it gets frustrating sometimes to see people thrive on raw right from the beginning or at least after a few weeks. And I am eating 100 % raw (even low fat raw) for 7 months now with not much changes. That's why I'd love to know if any here had successful amalgam stories to tell. Maybe improvements of health even with amalgam fillings still in their teeth - or healing stories after the removal. And over all - did raw food alone do the healing?
I have read a study where they say that some special fruit (especially tropical fruit) can help flushing out heavy metals. I know coriander and chlorella can. Thing is I always have big side effects when I try to detox.
I have done so many detox stuff...chlorella, coriander, DMSA, DMPS, coconut water, castor oil, MSM, alpha lipoic acid ...
I have improved a LOT, I was quite autistic before, had depressions, anxiety and panic attacks, my hair has improved, my eyes got lighter, my skin smoother.
But the main problems are still there which is IBS (of course, because the heavy metals go thru the bowel and cause inflammation), hormonal issues since the mercury is mostly in my brain and some more stuff.
I would fast only under supervision cuz I'm too scared of all the toxins coming up.
The zeolithe sounds interesting. Is it said that it pulls out the toxins from the brain too?
Anyway, right now I'm eating just strictly 100 % raw, lots of tropical fruit, low fat (haven't lost a pound though) and I try to drink coconut water regularly cuz there is another study that shows it can pull out heavy metals.
Just love to hear other success stories :)
