Dental Issues

Radiation, Toxic Metals, Fluoride, Replacement Restorations

For the last two weeks, I have had an unprecedented number of inquiries relating to oral health in general and teeth in particular so even though I have a pile of ideas for essays, I will devote today’s post to this hugely important subject. At the end, I will explain some unique Substack issues that are mostly relevant to paid subscribers.

The first point to make is that despite the known hazards of radiation exposure, mercury poisoning, fluoride toxicity, and various endocrine disruptors routinely used in dental practices, the risks are rarely discussed with patients and sufficient alternatives to dangers are not usually explored. It is easy to get on a moral high horse and to rant and rave about standard procedures; but the ball is usually in the patient’s court because dentists tend do what they were trained to do despite the harmfulness of standard practices and dangerous substances used, some of which have caused serious side effects and even death.

There are however dentists who have undergone training in what is called biological dentistry and some who are simply a little more holistic than others. It’s hard to argue that even the best practices are 100% safe, but they are certainly better than standard procedures.

There are online directories to biological dentists:

Immunity

For today, I want to put the emphasis on immunity. Radiation is very damaging to all cells. At minimum, it causes electroperforation of cells, and it could cause serious damage to DNA. If going for a dental appointment or any other appointment in which radiation exposure is a risk, take radioprotective herbs before and after the appointment. Every few years, I go back to PubMed to see which herbs have been added to list of herbs that protect against radiation exposure. The most famous, of course, is gingko, but the list has been getting longer and longer and includes some very well known herbs as well as some that might be considered exotic.

Ginkgo Leaves

Bael Fruit

Were it me — and anything but an emergency — I would take the herbs for at a least a week prior to any radiologic exam and continue after exposure for one-to-three months. Okay, I am very much a senior, but I am functional in part because I am careful about risk management.

Amalgams

Mercury, the so-called “silver fillings” are actually an amalgam of several metals. My experience is that the immune system is severely compromised by these toxic dental restorations, and certain conditions may not respond well to treatment until the fillings are removed by properly trained biological dentists.

Anyone with neurological complaints as well as severe allergies should seriously consider both replacement of the amalgams and chelation following the removal. This is because some of the toxic metals will have leached into the lymphatic system and bloodstream and will be warehoused in various organs of the body such as the liver, brain, lungs, and kidneys. Chelation can be self-administered or rendered by medical specialists.

Fluoride

The hype over fluoride and its capacity to protect against tooth decay has to be compared to the studies showing diminished intelligence and cognitive skills, calcification of the pineal gland, and loss of ability to experience spiritual influences. There are protocols for removing the calcification, mostly relying on tamarind and secondarily holy basil. The length of time required for recovery depends partly on the level of exposure from birth to the present.

Restorations

After exposure to mold, I realized that all the obstacles to cure had to be overcome or I would not be long for this world. I replaced all the fillings, both amalgams and composites, with Cerec onlays and crowns . . . and did all the chelating and detoxifying required. The first part to recover was thankfully my brain, but little by little, I think the regeneration has been significant and is nearly complete.

Over the years, I have posted thousands and thousands of pages online. This is all being reorganized now with the aid of a talented IT assistant. All sites that crashed are back up and running and further improvements are being rolled out daily. The bulk of the material on radiation can be found on zerorads.com. The place to go for oral health issues is toxicteeth.com.

Your Substack Subscriptions

Many people have had issues with their subscription renewals. Suggestions have been submitted to Substack. They respond that the IT team is exploring ways to make subscriptions easier to manage. This process is not one over which I have any control. It is entirely managed by you, Substack, and Stripe. You are identified by your e-mail so if you change your e-mail, be sure you change the one recognized by Substack. If you skip this step, you will be creating a new subscription, a second subscription. Substack does not identify subscribers by name so dots are not connected.

Countless subscribers have disputed charges. This is also a process over which I have no control. If a credit card dispute is created, the funds are deducted from my account, often with financial penalties that exceed the disputed amount. The credit card issuer and Substack investigate which often takes many months. Substack “proves” that the subscription was initiated by subscriber and is hence not a case of fraud. No information is provided that says iie-academy.org is related to Ingrid’s Substack so those dots are not connected. When this is explained to subscribers, most people say they did not recognize the charge so they disputed it. There is no reference to Substack anywhere in the documentation so it’s perfectly understandable that the door has been left open for confusion. Unless Substack commits to serious improvements, we will explore other options.
