Diseases > Dental & Toxicological Problems > Amalgam Cleansing

Many health problems may be related to increased toxic loads from mercury amalgam fillings and root canals. Although conventional medicine still disputes the existence of amalgam and root canal-related ailments, we believe they should be taken very seriously. Patients might have amalgam fillings and/or root canals for decades without any side effects, and it is only when additional factors adversely impact health that ailments become evident. Because the source of many of these disorders is hard to trace, the dental involvement is disputed. The Paracelsus Klinik has been clearing amalgam fillings and addressing root canal problems for years.

Amalgam fillings primarily consists of mercury and silver in varying proportions, although other elements may also be involved. Older, dark grey, rough-surfaced fillings release the most toxins, especially when the oral mucus is acidic. Mercury is the primary cause for many health problems; its side effects are toxic and/or allergenic. The most severe side effect is the intercellular interference caused by mercury’s impact on nerve endings.

The symptoms of amalgam infections are many. The most common are disorders related to nerve cells, vegetative nerve cells and higher brain functions, which lead to problems with concentration, coordination, memory, or vision. Further symptoms might be nervousness, sleeping disorders or heartbeat irregularities. Mercury can also cause various disorders of the mucus membranes, such as oral and intestinal infections, or increased overall susceptibility to infections. A very typical symptom is repeated bladder infections. When these disorders occur, especially in youth, amalgams should always be considered as a possible cause. Sensitivity to mercury varies from patient to patient and is further influenced by other factors, which must be taken into consideration during therapy: high acidity of the patient’s mucus or the entire organism contribute to high mercury sensitivity. Zinc and selenium insufficiency can have the same effect. These factors must be corrected during therapy.

The mercury and amalgam cleansing is performed in several steps and on various levels. The removal of amalgam fillings is certainly most important, but even extremely careful removal with thorough suctioning cannot prevent some absorption of mercury by the body. However, with careful preparation for several weeks prior to removal of the fillings, this effect can be mitigated. PBM patients prepare by taking Alkala alkaline salt, following a diet low in animal protein, egg whites and sugar, reducing intake of citrus fruits, and taking selenium, zinc and vitamin C supplements. Zinc and selenium are used to occupy those sites in the body still available for mercury, while the vitamin C and alkaline salt accelerate the mercury drainage from the interstitial connective tissue.

After this preparation the fillings can be removed, but we recommend scheduling the removal over several dental sessions. Once the fillings have been removed the actual amalgam cleansing begins—a process of several month’s duration. Bioresonance and homeopathic methods are widely used to remove amalgams from the body, but we believe these methods, while helpful, are insufficient, as molecular mercur y ions have physically attached themselves to nerve endings and must be physically removed. The full PBM amalgam removal protocol includes the following:

Though this healing process takes from six months to two years, these methods have been used by the Paracelsus Klinik to heal many patients, some of whom suffered from severe chronic illnesses.
