After considering this I wonder if some people aren’t allergic to the metal in braces? Why do some teens get such horrible acne and others don’t. The girl who waited on me yesterday had terrible skin AND braces!!! Both my nieces had severe acne AND braces.
Terri Franklin (see this post https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/1e28a470-5a23-42a8-8873-ce18163b50da) emailed me: Bob, the reason metals are so reactive is not because they are liquids not solids as it states here. It is because they have a positive charge and are highly attracted to negatively charged ions. They also have different levels of positive charge such that they pull ions off of each other. Scott can explain this better. For example titanium’s charge is different from aluminum and so there is a net ionic pull from one metal to the other – leading to corrosion.
Be sure to watch Roberts next few posts as the focus on this is going to be the best and most important health advice anyone can have.
Because metals are the trigger for most disease. Removing composite dental fillings cured my cardiac issues and my blood pressure and pulse returned to normal recently
Another thing of note is that in Europe titanium dioxide has recently been reclassified as unfit for human consumption. But they didn’t mention anything about all the people with titanium dioxide in their dental work. This is a big problem
Tomatoes, which are very acidic, leach a lot of aluminum from cans. I buy my tomato products in cardboard boxes. I very rarely eat ANYTHING from a can.
What is the skinny on aluminum? Seems my Synthroid is produced by AbbieVie, a spin-off of Abbot, it specifically mentions the 1.50 mcg. Dye is Blie Lake for both 1.37 mcg. The only difference is 1.3 is a deeper blue. Did they change a filler? I don't react like your guest, but have a full typed sheet of reactions of various types.
I have to stick with the same soaps, shampoos, laundry, etc. Even the scent is an issue. Most hated aisle in grocery stores.
It all depends on your own biology. We become sensitive to metals from exposure to them with the severity of reaction based on our own biology. I also have to be careful with soaps and other personal care products due to the titanium dioxide. I have become hypersensitive to both titanium and aluminium.
It’s becoming sensitised that is the important bit.
If we can keep metals out of our body(including the aluminium in vaccines we don’t become hypersensitised to them. When we do become hypersensitised we also become sensitive to all other chemicals and once our bodies have too much metals to cope with that’s when disease occurs. Metals are the trigger of most disease. Removing metals from our body will always bring health improvements. Even arthritis and endometriosis are triggered by metals. We can cope with a certain amount but it’s once we are exposed to more than our immune system can rid itself on a daily basis.
Avoid metals, prevent disease.
As soon as we put any foreign object into our mouths or body our immune system adjusts to cope. Removing the foreign object and the body returns to functioning like it should.
Toothpaste is one of the hardest things for me due to sensitivity
Because the metals triggered mast cell degranulation in me.
It’s a product that you just have to buy the best one you can get.
You can brush teeth with organic baking soda but even this requires care in the hypersensitive as it can mess with your body chemistry.
I have a Titanium plate with four screws in my cervical spine. It was from a 2001 episode where a Chiropractor ruptured a disk in my neck. The Neurosurgeon afterward told me he’d never before seen a disc broken into three large chunks.
So all in all, I’m glad to be alive today and have my wits about me.
If you have no serious health issues that developed following implant, you currently have no issue, but titanium implants are now known to erode over time, so beware
I can attest that my experience with metals was very similar to Mark's. However, it took me over 2 years to realize the cause of my health issues. If you are experiencing ill health and your doctors cannot determine why, and you have metal in your body, look into the possibility that the metal may be the cause, and save yourself the suffering that I have, and continue to, go through
I’d like to read this post but the link only leads to your general home page/list of all posts, not to any specific article. Could you provide the date of this post so I can locate it? Thanks!
Also, I thought I understood silica water to be beneficial in helping remove aluminum from the body but now I’m questioning that after reading today’s post? We use Xyli-white and love it (Tom’s wasn’t our favorite) but checking the ingredients now show that it does contain hydrated silica. I’d appreciate any thoughts you have - thank you!
Hey I'm doing my heavy metals pee collection right now (before I start having my amalgams removed). Thanks for inspiring me to not take all the junk in my mouth for granted any more. P.S. I am working with a CHIRP on my blood and heavy metals tests.
I was diagnosed with osteonecrosis (AVN) in my left shoulder joint last year, and later diagnosed with it in both hip joints. There’s no cure. The only remedy is total joint replacement. The ends of the humerus and femur bones (where they meet the joint) die from lack of blood flow and eventually the bone turns to mush and collapses.
Finding an orthopedic surgeon who has knowledge and experience in treating this disease was a major challenge.
The next challenge was finding the surgeon with knowledge about metal allergies. I’ve always been allergic to nickel. Shoulder and hip implants commonly contain nickel (and other metals.)
Apparently, finding a company that makes nickel or metal-free hip implants is a lot easier than finding one that makes nickel or metal-free shoulder implants. Even if the implants themselves are metal-free, it seems that they might still contain other types of metal like titanium in their components or hardware.
I went to six orthopedic surgeons before finding one that performs shoulder replacement surgery, and although he’s not personally experienced with treating AVN, he’s very open to learning all he can.
Unfortunately, metal allergies are not even a consideration for most surgeons. Most surgeons I talked with believe that because the metal will be inside the body as opposed to being against the skin (I’m allergic to jewelry made with nickel. My skin swells and I get a rash wherever it was in contact with nickel,) there can’t be an allergic reaction. That doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m not a doctor!
Thankfully, my doctor is open minded and was willing to read all the reports and articles I found on metal allergies and implants.
I’ve been postponing my surgeries because I don’t want any metal at all used for the implants. The thought of having implants scares me. For the time being I can handle the pain. Once collapse occurs I won’t have a choice but to have my joints replaced. Hopefully, by then there will be 100% metal-free implants available.
Mark mentions he and members of his family have certain gene polymorphisms (SNPs) that have exacerbated sensitivity to metals. Some folks may be familiar with interest in MTHFR and related SNPs (Dr Ben Lynch, Dr Amy Yasko etc) from their own healrh struggles and subsequent genetic testing. Which polymorphisms are implicated in metal allergies/sensitivities?
Yes people with the mthfr gene mutation variants always appear to have the worst sensitivity reactions to metals as they mean our bodies don’t process metals as efficiently as other people. I still had high levels of mercury in my blood 8 years after they were removed. But I know others who don’t have the mthfr gene mutation with a mouthful of amalgam fillings who had no mercury in their blood. Their biology was simply more efficient at processing metal toxins
I'm really interested in your upcoming amalgam removal experience. I'm going to do it I think. At 57, I still have a bunch of them. I've already had a good dentist replace two damaged amalgams with ceramic and they look great.
After considering this I wonder if some people aren’t allergic to the metal in braces? Why do some teens get such horrible acne and others don’t. The girl who waited on me yesterday had terrible skin AND braces!!! Both my nieces had severe acne AND braces.

Makes sense. I can eat any food from cans, except for Fruit. It leaves a nasty acidic taste. I need that in glass jars. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.Qp58N9BPwUXvZTxP7lFpOwHaHa%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=4565b0d96c75641b7d77263a3fa74c7c2b0c03a833603591d9648003d823897f&ipo=images

Mark is unusually sensitive
Doctors continue to be misinformed that titanium is completely safe to implant in the body. The safety of titanium is under scrutiny...

see above. Also you might consider your hormonal status. Read Hormone Secrets for background and find a bioidentical hormone provider.

I have readers who will comment but I have not studied this
Good article thanks. I have Titanium/ceramic hip. Magnesium gluconate has been shown to chelate some heavy metals including aluminium.
on aluminum sorry

They have got to go. I will write about the dentist etc. I'm getting 17 out and replaced in Tijuana for $6800! Ck out this upcoming post. https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/186b3a63-b52d-48ef-b405-0f200b4270d8
The Goddess will help.
Get a MELISA test to establish what you have first.
There are ceramic or coated implants.
Custom implants are available too, and if you have well-documented problems, your insurance may pay.

Titanium problems are rare
That is now debatable...
