This is my dog Buttercup. Her nose was  bleeding and the wound was spreading rapidly! It was horrible. This all happened over the course of just a few days and believe it or not this started out as only a few scratches from running through the weeds!

     I am not the type to spend hundreds of dollars on vet bills... NO WAY... not on a dog. I am, however, against suffering. Plus, if I won't treat my family with conventional medicine why would I treat an animal with it?

     I had some tinctures made up from last fall in my pantry. I went through them to see what I had. I was going to use tinctures because the garlic poultices were not working. Tinctures are STRONG! Using my Nutritional Herbology book, and my brain, I decided to go with a mixture of Mullein, Plantain, Boneset and Red Clover tinctures. We gave them to her internally using a turkey baster once or twice a day. We also applied them like a poultice externally. Within 24 hours the swelling was going down. Within a few days it was dried up and within two weeks it was healed over. Here is the after photo. You can still see the scars but she is healed.

Warning- this could be LONG!

I have about 7 or 8 fillings. They are the standard metal looking ones. Some of you may know this but these Amalog fillings are actually about 50% mercury!!! It is toxic before it goes in the mouth and toxic when it comes out but somehow the ADA says it is not toxic while in the mouth... go figure.

The Lord led me to be able to overcome my cancer with alternative heathcare. There were some issues left that I don't normally talk about. There are four reasons I don't talk about it-

1. I don't want to be a stumbling block to people and make them think natural stuff doesn't work.
2. I don't like to whine.
3. I am "healthy" and have to much pride to ever admit anything is wrong unless I AM IN SERIOUS PAIN!
4. I don't like to hear "You need to go to the doctor" or "Are you okay?" My least favorite thing about being pregnant is hearing "How are you feeling?" one million and one times every Sunday at church and everywhere I go.... For some reason I don't like that sort of attention.

So, as I tell you about this experience I will share some things I don't normally talk about and hopefully help you to understand why you should STAY AWAY from these fillings. PLEASE don't let your children get them. I would let my children's teeth rot out of their heads before getting them.

The lady I am going to is named Dr. Blanche Grube and trained under Dr. Huggins who wrote the book Uninformed Consent. If anyone wants the number it is (570)343-1551. She is located in Pennsylvania. Or you can go to www.DrBlancheGrube.com to learn more. On that website there are more links that you can click on to read about amalog fillings and toxicity. I put this information here because I know how confusing it is to start trying to find a doctor **at least if you are wanting to get it done right!** She has a great setup. Her husband is a Chiropractor. Between the two of them they know just about every aspect of health. Dental, accupressure, chiropractic, Iridology, and on and on...... It is wonderful going to someone who cares about my whole body and not just my teeth.

Before my first appointment I got complete bloodwork done and got my hair tested for heavy metals.

At the appointment one of the things they did was a mercury Vapor Analyzer test using a Jerome Mercury Vapor Analyzer just like the EPA would use if they were evaluating an area for safety after a mercury exposure. My mouth was way more toxic than the standard for an area! If I was an area they would shut me up and call me toxic. Then I chewed gum and it was even worse. None of my filling are new and yet they all let off a LOT of mercury vapor when I chew or drink. To learn more you could watch this video called Smoking Teeth. It is less than 10 minutes long.

They also tested my electrical charge of my teeth that have metal in them. I guess it is like a battery. When you put metal in an acidy solution it creates a battery. A car battery uses lead, my mouth uses mercury, copper, and whatever else is in there. We figured it out and four of my mouths could operate a flashlight. I should have enough current to power an LED though! LOL

Part of that explained why the ringing in my ears gets so high pitched when I lay on my Nikken magnetic mattress pad. I guess some people can even pick up radio waves and hear music because of fillings in the mouth. Growing up I thought ringing in the ears was normal because mine always did. Haven't you ever heard the saying "If your ears are ringing someone is talking about you."? That made me thing it must be normal. I can trace back in my memory when the ringing began and it is about the same time I would have gotten my first fillings. Unfortunately only about 50% of the people have the ringing stop after silver filling removal. I am praying I am one of them that have it stop!!!

She went over my blood/hair results. A lot of it was good but then some of it was not, which I already knew. She figures that toxins from my fillings are seeping through and affecting my thyroid. That is why my lymph nodes on my neck swell sometimes. My thyroid is why my heart skips around sometimes. It isn't making enough hormones to contract my heart the whole way all of the time. This made me feel really good hearing this because I had a really scary experience the one night and almost had Rick take me to the hospital. (That means it was SCARY because I.don't.do.doctors!) By looking at my bloodwork she was able to tell me I am not in danger of a heart attack or anything like that. In fact normal doctors would probably look at my bloodwork and say "I don't know why your heart is doing this." I also have some infections in my stomach and bladder and through my digestive system that should fix once my fillings are removed.

The only thing we didn't figure out yet is why my platelets are so low. They have been low for years and she could tell me that without me ever bringing it up. I am losing blood somewhere but we don't know where yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it fixes once my fillings are gone too. She said I have been losing blood for years and she must be right. I remember when I was pregnany with my first child 10+ years ago how the doctor commented my platelets were low. Every pregnancy they said the same thing when they did bloodwork. Dr. Blanche saw it too but the difference is she will help me figure it out.

It is such a breath of fresh air to get help from a doctor who cares, knows about health and addresses the problems instead of the symptoms.

I know this post is long but I shared all this to make something clear. The expense of getting teeth fixed right is outrageous but is worth it. I know that every penny is worth it. If you are struggling with wether or not to spend the money I would tell you to do it. It may be the fix your body is looking for.

The only bad thing is now I have to stop nursing. Once the fillings come out my body will start dumping toxins. Unfortunately it goes straight into the milk. Boohoo He is 1 1/2 but still nurses all the time. My next appointment is on the 21st so I need to stop by then. I guess that this whole time he has been getting some mercury in the milk and while in utero through the placenta. The first child you are pregnant with gets the most mercury and then less for each child thereafter (unless you are getting more new mercury fillings put in). It can affect the baby.

The scary part is I will be more fertile in the long run. ((I already have 5 children in about 10 years!!!))

BTW there are many ways that Silver fillings can cause disease. They don't show up the same for every person. They weaken the immune system and then push you into whatever your genetically weak link is. I have somehow known for a while I need to get my fillings out. When I read the symptoms of mercury toxicity I just laughed because they are me! Here is a list of the most common complaints-

• 73% unexplained irritability
• 72% constant of very frequent periods of depression
• 67% numbness and tingling in extremities
• 65% frequent urination in the night
• 85% unexplained chronic fatigue

• 54% difficulty in making even simple decisions
• 52% tremors or shakes of hands, head, feet ect.
• 52% twitching of face and other muscles
• 40% frequent leg cramps
• 48% ringing or noise in the ears
• 43% get out of breath easily
• 43% frequent or recurring heartburn

I am not telling you which ones I have...there were quite a few.

There are many diseases associated with mercury toxicity. You can go to Dr. Huggins site and he has a section called Want Answers? with a few links.

Before you go rushing off to the dentist please realize that there is a certain way these need to be removed. You should NOT get this done just anywhere!!!!!! Dr. Blanche does it right. I copied this from her site so you can see how you should get it done-

Day of mercury removal we use the following:

1. Vitamin C IV, as a mild chelator and as a maintainer of the bodies level of glutathione
2. Conscious sedation, for extended visits beyond two hours and to allow treatment to cross the midline of the body
3. Mercury Vapor Ionizer to electrically neutralize the mercury gases
4. Dental Air Vac Suction
5. Oxygen for patient with a barrier over nose to greater eliminate the possibility of breathing in mercury vapor
6. Complete draping of the body
7. Protective eyewear for patient
8. Rubber dam, to isolate the teeth being worked on and prevent particles from entering the soft tissue of the mouth
9. Suction behind the rubber dam to absorb mercury gases that travel through the dam
10. High speed removal of amalgam with copious amounts of water and suction, to keep mercury vapor to a minimum
11. Slow speed drill on dentin, to lessen trauma to the living tooth
12. Replacing filling with a compatible composite
13. Completion of all surgical procedures by the doctor
14. Post treatment education concerning detoxification
15. Acupressure and massage provided for patient rehabilitation

I go back on the 21st to get this done. I am suppose to have some other things done because I have cavitations. We just don't have the money for that right now though. Oh wells, one thing at a time!

How about another contest?

The winner is going to get wormwood and/or catnip.

I am bumping this one back to the top to respond to an anonymous comment. I appologize for not doing this over the weekend. To dispute the comment I am copying paragraphs from the book I linked to and recommended down below. Here is what it said-

Here is an interesting paragraph from pages 100 and 101-
The US Public Health Service has confirmed what God said some 3,500 years ago. In a report on trichinosis (infestation by trichinae worms through the eating of pork), we are told that one out of three Americans autopsied is infected by trichinae (Dr. Manley, animal disease expert with the US Government). Subjecting the meat to extremely high temperatures still will not destroy these minute causers of disease and death. This has been done in laboratory experiments, only to discover that some of the worms were still alive. In a separate experiment, a ham boiled for twelve hours still had live trichinae. And trichinae are only one of nineteen worms found in pork. It is found in ALL pork. In fact, a single adult hog supports more trichinae than the entire world's population.

Here is an excerpt from page 89-
What a hog eats becomes flesh on his bones within four hours after he eats it, regardless of what it is. That is in contrast to the eighteen hour human digestive time. Hogs are scavengers. They will eat anything, dead or alive. So to eat pork is to consume secondhand garbage. Before the reader points out the cleanliness of pig farms as required by the FDA, be aware that many commercial pig raisers allow their porkers to eat one another's droppings in order to cut the feed bill.

I don't see any reason this wouldn't be true. If you don't think it is then do some research, get some evidence and then send it to me. It makes sense that God had a reason to tell his people not to eat unclean meat. He doesn't do things just to make his people seem wierd. He does things for our spiritual/physical health.

I got this from my Above Rubies a few weeks ago-

PORK AWARENESS

Try this and see whether the pork you bought has worms. If you pour Coke (yes, the soda) on a slab of pork, wait a little while, you will SEE WORMS crawl out of it.

A message  from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the bad effects of pork consumption. Pig's bodies contain MANY TOXINS, WORM and LATENT DISEASES. Although some of these infestations are harboured in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far MORE PREDISPOSED to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because PIGS like to SCAVENGE and will  eat ANY kind of food, INCLUDING dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses,  excreta including their own, garbage, and other pigs.

INFLUENZA (flu) is  one of the MOST famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is harboured in the LUNGS of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.

Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who EAT pork sausage tend to SUFFER MORE during EPIDEMICS of INFLUENZA. Pig meat contains EXCESSIVE quantities of HISTAMINE and IMIDAZOLE compounds, which can lead to  ITCHING and INFLAMMATION; GROWTH HORMONE which PROMOTES INFLAMMATION and  growth; sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to SWELLING and  deposits of MUCUS in tendons and cartilage, resulting in ATHRITIS, RHEUMATISM,  etc.

Sulphur helps cause FIRM human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human
cartilage. Eating pork can also lead to GALLSTONES and OBESITY, probably due  to its HIGH CHOLESTEROL and SATURATED FAT content. The pig is the MAIN CARRIER of the TAENIE SOLIUM WORM, which is found in its flesh. These  tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has RICHINOSIS from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork. Many people have NO SYMPTOMS to warm them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are NOT noticed during meat inspections.

We personally eat by the Levitical Law. It won't save your soul, but it can sure keep you healthy and obedient to God. If this is an area you would like to learn more about I suggest this book by Dr. Tabb. He takes you through HUNDREDS of Bible verses. The evidence is quite compelling. For less than $10  you can discover an area that God wants you to obey him in.

Also, in Kevin Trudeau's book he explains why he doesn't eat pork. It is the Natural Cures Revealed book. You could check this one out from the library. Here is an excerpt from the book that you can read. It is at Amazon books. You may or may not need your email address and password. If you haven't purchased anything through Amazon it is easy to create a password/account. Of course I am not even sure if you will need one. There are about three pages you can read here.
