I desperately want to do a complete body detox [going on a 15 day raw juice fast and combining it with liposomal vitamin c, msm, chlorella, spirulina, and cilantro] but I do not have the money/insurance to remove my amalgam silver fillings. What would you advice? Would this be a health hazard to do with my fillings? Thanks much in advance.

Those metal detoxes have to go through your blood system. The teeth will not be affected, because your blood system does not affect them. The things that affect your teeth are your foods and saliva. It would not be a hazard to do even with your amalgams still in. I do it about twice a year. I even do it with IP6 and/or EDTA. And I also have amalgams. The heaviest mercury release during the first 2 years after the amalgams have been installed. After that, it is minimal and should not harm you unless you are very sensitive. I wish I could find something more scientific, because I don't wish to spend the time and money to replace mine, and because I am 65. I'd rather get false teeth or implants. The mercury is tightly bound to the other metals. Theoretically, mercury vapor is released at times, but this is theoretical. I've found no evidence otherwise. Anyway the type of detox, you plan, will have no affect.

My biggest problem, during the process, is that my body itches badly in the places where I perspire, like underarms and groin especially. There is nothing I can do about the itch other than stop or slow the detox procedure.

I still have my amalgams, and use Alpha Lipoic Acid along with Chlorella.

You can probably get away with a slow detox using small amounts of dietary supplements (not DMSA or DMPS), whilst having mercury fillings.

How well you detox will depend on how efficient your main eliminating systems, liver, gall bladder and kidneys are working.

The liver and kidneys are not like a rubbish chute were toxins and metals are automatically dumped no matter how much they are forced to handle. Some people are poor eliminators due to genetic defects in the enzyme systems, or poor cellular methylation, causing inadequate glutathione production necessary for increased detoxification.

In these instances its necessary to get the liver and kidneys working as well as possible to avoid the scenario of binding more metals than the detox system can readily handle and the supplemental chelator being forced to drop the heavy metal in some organ like the brain when the chelator life runs out.

In the case of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), the life is 3 hours and this is why children with autism(who have poor elimination)who are undergoing chelation, have low doses of ALA (35mg) every 3 hours to ensure that there is not more bound mercury recirculating than the detox system can handle. If you have average liver function you can probably get away with 100mg ALA in an 4hr time period. The Jarrow Liver PF supplement has this dosage.

The watchword is low and slow with mercury chelation and a high protein diet as well as adequate intake of vitamins/minerals.

Good advice Liverock, thanks.

I was always under the impression that metals were passed via the liver to the gallbladder and expelled in the stool.

Most mercury is normally excreted via the liver and gall bladder,about 85% is excreted this way and 15% via the kidneys.
