I just moved to OH for work and had to find a new homeopathic doctor. I was telling the new doc about all of the problems I had with BFS, etc. The new doc did some stress tests that I was unfamiliar with, but the results were interesting. Apparently I indicated that my silver fillings (w/ mercury) are a great source of stress to my central nervous system. Perhaps this is part of the reason why I developed so many dysfunctions in my system. Who knows. I at least wanted to put it to a poll to see how many fellow BFS'ers might have silver fillings in their teeth. This could point to mercury toxicity as a potential aggravation.Here's a site with some symptoms associated with mercury in your system (note muscle weakness, tremors, tingling in the hands and feet, anxiety are among the symptoms):
 
I have one. I have read a couple of theories where it is believed that silver fillings could be linked to MS. However, I don't believe there is any evidence to prove this.
 
SAM, This is a topic which has been discussed several times on bfsforum.com. You can probably find a bunch of opinions on it by doing a few searches.One of the problems from my point of view, is just by replacing the silver fillings you are opening up your body to absorbing silver. That and drilling them out means increasing the size of the hole in your teeth, so the compsitive filling needs to be bigger than the silver filling it replaced. Sigh. I know this too well since I have majorly bad teeth.
 
SAM, I agree with RIchard when you have silver fillings removed you are letting yourself in for absorbing it as they try to break them up. I don't think its worth it. I think SmartMister is a supplement which acts as a chelation therapy to remove some metal and mercury toxcicity. Don't hold me to this but ask you holistic Dr. I also agree with 43RichyThe43rd in that I too have a large amount of silver fillings. Too much bubble gum and jelly beans when I was a kid :LOL: Mary
 
I had mine replaced 10 yrs ago (and I had quite a few) Fact is, that everytime you eat or drink, you swallow a tiny dose of mercury. The dentist has to be careful when removing them. I had a protective lining in my mouth and only the tooth that was worked on was exposed. (hope you get what I mean...)
 
Before any newbies or anyone else for that matter reads this thread and starts to freak out about there teeth and mercury poisoning, PLEASE read what I am copying and pasting below. It is one of Marios best post about this subject. Read below:......Since this topic tends to come up in a panicked frenzy every so often around here (you know who you are), I thought I'd share something that I read the other day about mercury fillings. This is from Dr. Dean Edell's book, "Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Healthiness." If you're not aware of who he is, Dr. Edell is one of the most trusted and most widely listened to health experts in America. He has been hosting a daily health advice radio talk show for about 30 years.This is word for word from his book:Your Teeth Aren't Killing You!Mercury poisoning is a frequent topic on my radio show, and one particular call makes me crazy. The mercury in the fillings in your teeth is not poisoning you, and beware of anyone who says otherwise. We all have mercury in our bodies from different sources, mostly food. Yes, we can ingest high levels of mercury from eating lots of contaminated fish. That mercury is methylmercury. Fillings are a mix of metallic mercury and silver, and they do not emit enough mercury to harm you; anyone who argues otherwise is trying to sell you something -- probably lots of new fillings. If your fillings are the only worry you have in your life, you have a good life. Mercury fillings are ugly, and there are more attractive restorative materials, but for price and longevity, the amalgam fillings have withstood the tests of time and science.Hope this saves someone from freaking out.Take care everyoneRobynn :D)
 
Robynn, this is the opinion of one guy. There are other studies out there that tell a different story. Everyone has to decide for themselves. However, nobody on this board needs to freak out because of silver fillings. Some people react more sensitive than others. And I had mine removed and still have BFS. So go figure....
 
Yikes, I didn't mean to start a huge debate here. I just was curious how many BFS'ers have silver fillings. I get it, lots of people have them and don't have BFS. Some people had their silver fillings replaced and still have BFS. I was able to overcome the nasty symptoms of BFS through alternative medicine without replacing my fillings. Perhaps its just that some people are more sensitive than others. Who knows. I haven't decided if I am going to take this seriously and have my fillings replaced. I haven't quite established that level of trust with this doc yet. It was just an interesting concept I had never considered before. Again, don't get over excited about this. Its just a question.
 
I agree with Robbie and Robynn but you are right SAM and Micahar everyone is entitled to thier opinion. I just hope I never have to have another filling again because I hate having to have fillings and luckily or through good tooth hygiene knock wood have not had a cavity in the last ten years. Thank God for electric tooth brushes :D) Mary
 
Thank you guys. I thought about this further and I think the question I should have asked is 'does anybody have BFS that has NEVER had silver fillings?' Similar to how not everyone who smokes their whole lives gets lung cancer, its completely reasonable that not everyone with silver fillings will have neurological problems. Anyway, thank you again everybody.
 
spare this money and do a nice holiday somewhere instead. unless the fillings need to be fixed there is absolutely no need of replacing them. I have done it, a natural medical quack promised me my twitching and tremor will disappear. It has cost me several thousand swiss francs which is a lot of money, a lot of medication to take and changed nothing but really nothing! forget it, go on holiday instead! if ever you decided to do it, make sure, you take an extra of oxygene to breath in by an external source instead of the mercury vapour.
 
Having silver fillings removed and replaced won't undo the damage that has been done, but it will remove the source of more potential damage. Regardless if heavy metal toxicity is the source of your twitching or not, it is documented and proven to cause neurological problems. Heavy metals are difficult for the body to process and get rid of, so they tend to 'stick around', especially in the brain. For those of you who have had your silver fillings replaced, have you taken supplements to help detoxify the heavy metals? Kind of like how stopping the polluters doesn't automatically clean up the pollution that's already been dumped. Get that dumped pollution cleaned up and then you can assess the damage that has been done and get to work correcting it. Just something to consider.
 
just spoke to my neuro (did an interview with him on als as being a journalist), the no. 1 als specialist in switzerland. according to him the amalgam theory is just crap regarding als....just to let you know if you want to do it because you are anxious and fear that the fillings can cause something sinister.
 
I never mentioned ALS and I'm not anxious or paranoid. I actually know with a pretty good degree of certainty that my silver fillings are a source of neurological stress on my body. I know because my own body said so through muscle response testing in applied kinesiology. There are those out there who think this sort of thing (applied kinesiology/muscle response testing) is hocus pocus, but I've been successfully treated with it despite having doubts and reservations (so I know its not the placebo affect either). I made a point to ask my practitioner about how many of her patients had conventional doctors blame their recoveries on 'coincidence.' She said that a majority of her patients get that type of response from their MD's but she's seen far too many 'coincidences' for it to be anything but the real deal. I'm not trying to get anyone freaked out over this. All I wanted to do was to find out if any BFS'ers out there have never had silver fillings in their teeth (past or present). From the responses I've seen so far, not one person here can rule out potential mercury toxicity. That doesn't mean its the root source, but it certainly doesn't rule it out either. In fact, it may be one of very few things that we all have in common.
 
Scientists agree that dental amalgam fillings leach mercury into the mouth, but studies vary widely in the amount. Research on monkeys has shown that mercury released from dental amalgam restorations is absorbed and accumulates in various organs such as the kidney, brain, lung, liver, gastro-intestinal tract, the exocrine glands.[25] It was also found to have crossed the placental barrier in pregnant rats[26] and proven to cross the gastrointestinal mucosa when amalgam particles are swallowed after amalgam insertion or after removal of old amalgam fillings.[27]In 2001, the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 31,000 adult Americans, NHANES III, covering 1988-94, was published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). It is statistically valid for all 180,000,000 adult Americans. The survey found that the number of dental fillings was significantly correlated to incidence of cancer, thyroid conditions, mental conditions, diseases of the nervous system including MS, diseases of the respiratory and genito-urinary systems, and disorders of the eye, circulatory and respiratory systems. At the time of the survey (1988–94), the vast majority of dental fillings placed were silver amalgam.Bond007 never said anything about amalgam causing ALS. Just trying to make you aware that it CAN cause health problems.
 
Nowhere in SAMs post does it say that his amalgam fillings are the cause of BFS? "Perhaps this is part of the reason why I developed so many dysfunctions in my system. Who knows. I at least wanted to put it to a poll to see how many fellow BFS'ers might have silver fillings in their teeth. This could point to mercury toxicity as a potential aggravation." Robbie- about your asbestos: You obviously knew that asbestos can be extremely cancer causing, that´s why you wanted it removed. Good for you it didn´t turn out to be harmful after all. But to get to my point: like you said- we eat, drink, breathe so many toxics every day that we have no control of. Why not at least elimnate those that I have control of? I mean, would you purposely eat something that you KNOW is loaded with lets say, dioxin? I guess not. (I´m using dioxin as an example because we just had a big scandal over here about eggs being loaded w. dioxin)Trying to find out if silver fillings can maybe be linked to BFS is just as legitimate as trying to find out if people in medical professions tend to get BFS, don´t you think?
 
it is good to question amalgam fillings. and i would never accept amalgam for new fillings but replacing the old ones does not change bfs, i can guarantee you that.
