- Almost every patient sees his doctors first.
- They are carefully examined
- They are referred for every kind of test, x-rays, scan, and anything
else their doctor considered appropriate, then the patient is told in
the end:
- There is nothing wrong with you!
|
|
19
|
- The patient gets his amalgam removed using the safe method, and he
almost immediately starts to improve, and continues to improve,
- 100% of patients who had amalgam removed using the safe method improve
by 80-100%
- It takes about a year to shed the body burden of mercury
- (half life of mercury in the body is 88 days)
|
|

|
- The best possible detox is a careful and complete removal of amalgam and
mercury from the patient’s mouth

- There is nothing that is totally safe for all.
- The best available option available to us is
- Pre-testing
- To see if that particular item is compatible with that particular
patient.
- Several methods are available for that.
|
|
32
|
|
|
33
|
- Pre-test every thing you are going to use on the patient
- Give conscious sedation and local anaesthesia
- Block the throat on the side you are operating on, with at least two
lines of defence. Protect all tissues
- Oxygen tubes in the nose and monitor the patient.
- Cover the nose and the eyes with a gold mask.
- Remove amalgam with suction hugging the tooth
- Check for mercury vapour
- Detox till the MVA reads ZERO.
- Put temporary filling in.
- THE UN-NEGOTIABLE PRINCIPLE IS:
-
LET NO MERCURY VAPOUR GET INTO THE PATIENT
|
|
34
|
- Hear the patient’s own unedited video recorded case reports.
