The
Marburg amalgam detoxification study
Bernhard
A. Weber, Regina Schneider
Since
1992 the private Marburg Institute for Naturopathic Medicine offers amalgam
information in several cities and since 1994 it offers a nationwide telephonic
amalgam advice service(06421/66379).
Investigations
on more than 1200 patients have shown a chronic mercury poisoning from amalgam
fillings. About 50 % of those patients removed their amalgam fillings after the
investigation.
130
patients finished the detoxificational therapy by now. They were questioned for
improvement of their symptoms and were investigated again.
According
to the intensity of the detoxification, 80 % of the patients showed a good or
even excellent improvement of symptoms.
These
results show distinctly the dangerousness of amalgam fillings.
In
Germany more than 50 million people have amalgam fillings. In the age group
between 20 and 50 years most of them have more than 10 fillings. Here, our
preventive health care system has failed completely (one reason for this are the
publicity campaigns of the sugar industry).
Our
own study „allergies and amalgam poisoning“ has already in 1994 shown a high
probability of a connection between amalgam fillings and allergies.
Therapeutic
studies of Perger, Friese and american investigators (R.L.Silberud)(number of
cases = 1200) shall now be proved by our own study. In more than 95% of our
cases mild and naturopathic drugs were used to detoxificate the patients from
the accumulated heavy metals. Naturopathic diagnosis and mild detoxification in
consideration of the associated and secondary diseases have been the aim of our
study.
Surprisingly
high was the large number of severe chronic patients, even in the age group of
the 20 to 40 years old. Not only the enormous and most expensive increase of the
often amalgam caused allergies, but also chronic diseases of the immunologic and
nervous system are one major reason for the increase of costs in our public
health service. This shows that the
decision pro or contra amalgam has also a profound meaning for all the healthy
people who have to pay their contribution to the health insurances.
This
is another important reason why we have collected the data of the „Marburg
detoxification study“, which is a substantial evidence in the discussion of a
probition of the use of amalgam.
About
the Institute
The
private Institute for Naturopathic
Medicine in Marburg is organized as a non profit organisation. The staff of
the institute consists of four doctors, four other employees offering health
information, another four employees occupied with various functions and many
more helpers and sponsors. It is financed by the contributions of the members,
the treatment fees that are paid by the patients and money from a job creation
scheme, offered by the German government. The main aim of our work, is besides
the public relations, the realization of studies to naturopathic and
environmental medicine.
Impetuous
discussions about the possible damage through chronic mercury poisoning from
amalgam filings are more and more leading to increased restrictions in the use
of this material by the german „Amt für Arzneimittelsicherheit“ (official
board for the security of drugs).
Drasch,
from the University of Munich, was able to show that one can find increased
mercury values in the tissues of brain, liver and kidney of a patient with a
high number of amalgam fillings.
In
countless publications Daunderer has
introduced a mobilisation test (based on DMPS) for diagnostic purposes. In his
„Handbuch der Amalgamvergiftung“ (handbook for amalgam poisoning) he
presents therapeutic successes of detoxification in individual cases.
About
the history of amalgam in medicine
Historically,
mercury poisonings with therapeutic aims were known already a long time before
modern medicine. An important motive for Hahnemann
to develop homeopathy nearly 200 years ago now, was the excessive use of mercury
ointments by quacks, which caused enormous chronic poisonings. (Interestingly,
the german word for quack „Quacksalber“ has been derived and changed only in
two vocals from the word „Quecksilber“, which means mercury.)
Amalgam,
which has been introduced into medical practice around 1830 and already at that
time has led to a temporary prohibition, still consists of more than 50% mercury
(plus about 30% silver, 20% tin and rarely copper).
In
1925 Prof. Stock, Berlin, has
presented distinct evidence for chronic poisonings from amalgam.
Naturopathic
therapists have warned for decades, because of their own experience, of this
„cheap“ solution.
Are
diseases caused by poisoning with amalgam traceable ?
å
Besides the proof of poison in body tissues (Drasch, Daunderer) and the
mobilisation of mercury by means of certain substances (Daunderer, Pergerer),
only large studies will help us here.
å
The Marburg amalgam detoxification study provides us with a good basis and many
arguments in the discussion against the use of amalgam.
å
One hindrance to the proof of the bad effects of amalgam is the enormous variety
of symptoms of a chronic mercury poisoning and the other often interfering
ingredients tin, copper and silver.
Hahnemann
listed already in 1830 about 1260 different symptoms. Thomsen und Kramer have
documented this variety from the view of a dentist.

In
our pilot study we are trying, by means of a large number of patients, to
achieve a statement even in the case of the rare symptoms, whether an amalgam
removal and a detoxification therapy improves these symptoms.
All
of the 1200 patients investigated until September 1995 in our amalgam
information centres in Marburg, Gießen, Fulda and Koblenz filled out the above
shown questionnaire at the beginning. Afterwards we have tested the patients
with the electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV) testing method. We
investigated the amalgam stress at the acupuncture points of the mainly involved
organs and organic systems: lymph sytem, allergy and nervous system. In addition
we examined the individually severely stressed meridians.
diagnostic
methods
The
high accuracy of the diagnostic method electroacupuncture according to Voll has
been shown in several studies, including our own blindstudy in 1993.
In
a small part of the cases investigated with this method, a mobilisation with
DMPS and a chemical diagnosis of the urine followed the initial examination in
order to prove the diagnosis and at the same time start an intensive therapy.
70%
of our study patients have made a patch test, to see if they are allergic to
amalgam. Only 8 - 15% do have a positive test result in such patch tests, as it
can be read in international literature.
Dependent
on the seriousness of the symptoms of the individual patients we either chose to
treat intensively (if the patients agreed) with the chelating agent DMPS (DMSA)
or we led through a naturopathic detoxification with homeopathy/phytotherapy,
the vitamines ACE, the trace elements zinc and selenium, as well as with amino
acids and gluthatione.
From
the more than 1200 patients 200 were reexamined directly and 420 patients, who
had been examinated before October 1994 were asked to fill out our
questionnaire. 266 filled out questionnaires have returned to us by now.
For
the evaluation we separated those patients who did not get a detoxificational or
any other therapy from the others.
The
evaluation of the first 130 patients, who removed their amalgam and who
completed a detoxification, gives us the chance to make a relatively clear
statement.
Concerning
some single symptoms we have to admit that the frequency sometimes was to small
to allow a proper interpretation. Here, we have to supplement our pilot study to
make it able to provide us with more reliable data.
From
all of the 130 patients in the study, 30% were investigated thoroughly with
electroacupunture according to Voll (EAV) in order to detect and treat most of
the associated diseases.
In
70% of our patients we did only an EAV short test, in which we regularly
searched for the amalgam related secondary disease intestinal dysbacteria and
chemical stress (formaldehyde, PCP, PCB, lindane) as well.
Naturally
we prefer the comprehensive and more valid long EAV test in order to obtain a
more holistic view of a patient and to be able to offer a better therapy.
The
evaluation of the occured improvements of symptoms was measured in following
degrees: extremely better - better - slightly better - no (if a symptom was not
measurable at all).

å

å

å

according to Voll (EAV)
å
The acupuncture points und the meridian-organ systems were the starting-point
for Dr.Voll to develop a very comprehensive and holistic system diagnostics.
Heine cleared up in 1987 the histologic structure of the acupuncture points. By
discovering numerous new points a precise diagnostics of all parts and functions
of the human body was made possible. Although already some studies to this
method, which is used world-wide, were published (Weber), it is not yet
acknowledged scientifically.
å
The resonance- or medicament-test of EAV is the second important component of
this combination of acupuncture and homeopathy. Countless chronic stress factors
(environmental or from past diseases) can be measured with this method. An
accurate and most of the time homeopathic or orthomolecular therapy is rendered
possible through this. A clearly arranged survey and introduction to EAV is
offered by H.Rossmann or a script of our institute.
å
The high accuracy of EAV in the case of amalgam is well demonstrated by our own
blindstudy (1993; Danz, Leber, Schneider, Weber).
Even
a rather precise semi-quantitive measurement of therapy success over several
months is made possible by EAV.
The
inclusion of the low-potency test substances D3 and D5 yields distinct
differences in the test value improvement. At the points for the lymphatic
system, intestine, nervous system, and allergy we often can measure a pathologic
value of more than 80 with a clear pointer drop, which can be compensated with a
test ampule of silver amalgam D4 up to the ideal value of 50. After one month of
therapy we often find only a value improvement with a D4 ampule up to 60. It now
often needs a D6 ampule to compensate on 50. After 3 months of therapy the
chosen parameter is around 70 without a pathologic pointer drop. The test
substance now needs very high potencies to compensate the value again on 50.
In
some patients with a too short or too „mild“ therapy only with the isosonode
silver amalgam in a serial pack beginning with potency D6, we measured a value
improvement, which seems to be wrong, because when this patient again was tested
with a D4 ampule we received a clear response to D4. Because of this possible
irritation of the EAV - diagnostics we rarely used the isonosode silver amalgam
or mercurius sol..
A check of this exact fine tuning with EAV and the curing success through DMPS tests was not yet possible in this pilot study.

Summary
Summarized
we can say that in spite of the inclusion of the only moderate improvements, we
have a distinct proof for the abilities of an orthomolecular and homeopathic
therapy of the chronic mercury poisoning, even with a renunciation of DMPS in
most of the cases.
We
were especially surprised when we saw the successes in those patients with
neurological symptoms.
improvement
of depressive mood
80,3%
(n=50)
å
enormous improvements were achieved in patients with chronic infections
improvement
of sinusitis
80,4%
(n=46)
In
patients with allergies the results were worse (e.g. hay fever 50% improvement).
In
one group of patients with an additional and more intensified naturopathic
treatment of the associated diseases this percentage increased up to 70%.
detected
associated diseases
Mycosis
and intestinal dysbiosis were found
in more than 90% of those patients who were diagnosed with the comprehensive EAV
test. By means of an intensified amalgam detoxification and microbiological
therapy we treated these concomitant diseases most of the time successfully,
even without antimycotics. Microbiological examinations of the faeces were only
necessary in a few cases.
Toxins
of the housing space and the accumulation of pollutants at the place of
employment were traceable in about 20% as an additional stress factor and have
been treated naturopathically (therapy with isonosodes,
phyotherapeutical-homeopathical detoxification, vitamines, avoidance of
exposition to these toxins).
In
Patients with rheumatic diseases and cancer we often diagnosed a chronic
infection of the teeth by EAV(most of the time without symptoms). For
further treatment and control we sent those patients to a dentist.
Other
concomitant diseases that were treated partly homeopathically are chronic
infections of the pharynx and the paranasal sinuses.
The
number of those patients who were treated with DMPS was too small and the
duration of the therapy was too short to compare them with the others. Only very
sick patients chose this treatment.
conclusions
The
Marburg amalgam detoxification study proves again the necessity of a prohibition
of amalgam fillings.
Numerous
chronic diseases which are increasing threateningly and thus are responsible for
the also increasing costs in our health system, are connected with the use of
amalgam.
å
The extreme augmentation in sugar consumption in the last 100 years from 10 to
100 g sugar per person and day (DGE - german society for nourishment) has led to
an enormous increase of caries and has so allowed amalgam to be established as
the „cheapest solution“ to this problem.
å
A consistant and logical demand for the financiation of the removal of amalgam
and the replacement of amalgam through gold alloys (without palladium) is the
introduction of a sugar tax of 5 DM (Deutschmark) per KG.
Nearly
15 milliards DM would unburden our public health service and e.g. one bar of
chocolate would only be 30 Pfennige more expensive.
The
producers would so help to fight the concomitant diseases.
The
publication of the detailed results will happen in a new edition of „Amalgam -
und was dann?“ (sick through amalgam - what can I do ?) by our institute.

REMOVAL: You can remove yourself from the subscription list in several different ways. Click here to read about this entire newsletter system. Every edition of The Wednesday Letter is delivered to your address with YOUR name and address in view on the letter, with a link that allows you to remove THAT name from the subscription list. If you try to send this removal message from an address different from the one you used to send in your original confirmation, then you will get a warning notice first, sent to the subscription address, asking you to confirm that you want to be removed from the list -- by replying to THAT request for confirmation, you will then be automatically removed. Thus, no one else can unsubscribe you, from some other computer, without your knowledge. But, if you send in the unsubscribe notice from the same machine used to receive the Letter, then the removal from the subscription list is automatic.
Personal Message: When you send a personal message to Karl Loren, you will receive a personal reply as per his instructions. Karl pledges that every personal message will get a personal answer. When you provide your mail address, we will send you free information including our free catalog and a cassette tape lecture by Karl Loren about heart disease, no charge, by mail, even if outside the US. You can select particular information you would like to receive, along with the free cassette tape and catalog.
