Thank you for writing Marlyn, lets get this help out far and wide!

Well, we don’t have a relationship, how can you have a relationship with someone, presumably the owner or senior Dentist there, who has never met me, never spoken with me?
“We will no longer see you as patient because of your views in Dentistry”

Since when has it been wrong to have views about the NHS dental services? I was signed on, registered after an assessment / de-scaling and had 2 X-rays.

This senior Dentist must feel very frightened indeed to be scared of a pensioner’s views. I was in this place for no more than 20 minutes. Not enough to give any kind of lecture. I left my card and called back 2 days later with some out-of-date DAMS magazines from the USA.

So I rang the local newspaper!

You are right! Candida is total misery! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me!

I found out I had candida 3 years ago after doing a cleanse like the master cleanse. Initially I felt better for awhile and then the Yeast Beast, as I like to call it, came back with a vengeance. I have tried so many things to put it back in balance.If you have any questions, feel free to ask, it’s a long road but I finally feel I’m on the right track and almost done.

Aloha!

I joined a National Health dental surgery in my new home town yesterday for the first time since childhood. My mouth, minus Mercury, Gold and all other dental metals, is safe and healthy, but I thought I would now find out what an NHS surgery offers.

I was delighted with the young girls as dentist and nurse who looked after me, assessed and de-scaled the teeth. I was very unhappy at their own working conditions seemingly without proper contaminated-air evacuation or fresh air-intake. Any dental surgery carries particles of mercury vapour and female staff working in this environment can intake day-long absorption and ingestion of the microscopic airborne particulate. Female dental staff have higher than normal rates of spontaneous abortions, miscarriages and fetal abnormalities if they are in the child-bearing age range. Airborne Mercury particulate and vapour must be removed for staff and patient safety within the dental surgery environment.

I appreciate your work and your comments stressing safe amalgam removal. I’m not so thrilled about your suggestion regarding patch testing for dental materials. I do think it’s a good idea to do some kind of testing, especially for patients who are already known to be chemically sensitive. A patch test only reveals an allergic reaction. Sensitivity to these materials may not show up in the form of allergy and may not react with a patch test. Conversely, if a patient is truly allergic, a patch test might provoke a more dangerous reaction than the dentist is equipped to deal with. Other dentists have been using “muscle testing” (kinesiology), which is controversial and very dependent on having an experienced “tester.” Also, some have been using a blood serum reactivity testing through Clifford Consulting Labs in the US (Colorado Springs). I don’t know if that’s available from the UK. Other safe removal protocols are essential, as you have stressed. I have found that many so-called “mercury-free” dentists are not as merucry SAFE as they should be, and most traditional dentists have no clue. My colleague, Dr. Tom McGuire and I have put together a training course on DVD to teach dentists how to make their practice truly mercury safe (see http://www.newdirectionsdentistry.com). Thanks again for your work, for your book, and for spreading the word.
