Some cleaning-up procedures!

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of his children.
He does not give Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others. – A.W. Tozer

I want to confirm these words of Tozer because I experience my Father’s full love and commitment to me day by day. Every day is a new day filled with His loving kindness, grace (free unmerited love and favour of God, the source of all benefits we receive from God), and mercy (implies benevolence, tenderness, mildness, compassion, to be pardoned).I know with confidence what Peter has written in his letter;
1Pe 2:22 Scripture says, "He didn't commit any sin. No lies ever came out of his mouth." (Isaiah 53:9) (23) People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn't do the same back to them. He suffered. But he didn't say that bad things would happen to them. Instead, he trusted in the One who judges fairly. (24) He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross. He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives. His wounds have made us whole.

During this last month loads of things happened to me. The dentist had to do major cleaning–up of amalgam fillings in my teeth. It is a specialised procedure and one should make sure that the dentist is trained and has experience in safe amalgam removal. My throat and nostrils are blocked by a rubber type of tent ‘rubber dam’ as they call it so that the amalgam and mercury vapour are prevented to go down my throat during the process. You can become very ill if this stuff goes down your throat or nostrils. This rubber protection is pushed over and through the teeth which expose only the teeth worked on by the dentist. We are still busy with it but the end of this procedure is in sight!!! The amalgam in my teeth played a roll in toxins being released into my body over a period of many years.

According to a health and medical article I read the so-called silver fillings contain less than 3% silver but more than 50% mercury. The FDA of the US changed their stand and acknowledged neurotoxin effects on the body and foetuses after an out-of-court settlement.

The American Dental Association advises special handling and storage precautions of the material which is marked as Poison. Residue waste from the mixed product should be stored in sealed jars and disposed as hazardous material by special licensed companies. If this product is left long enough in the jars, the vapours eat a hole in the top of the storage jar; something to think about. Does the dental profession regard our mouths as a safe place to store this mercury amalgam? Some questions to be asked if we visit your dentist!

We as the patients should wake up, do more research ourselves and ask questions about medication being prescribed or purchased over the counter. Cultivate the habit of reading labels and ingredient lists of the products you buy so frequently from chemists and supermarkets. There is enough knowledge available to us through books and the internet; we don’t have to stay ignorant or lacking information.

I know that many people may think I am fishing in the wrong pond, but hey, remember I have been diagnosed with cancer (one of the possible diseases on the list of the FDA for amalgam users). The source of the cancer is still not clear because everything responsible for this type of cancer was absent in my every day lifestyle. Therefore I will have to investigate all other possibilities as I have no intention of accepting the verdict of an incurable disease or premature death. At this stage I am doing very well, having high levels of healthy energy, no pain, putting on weight, having a healthy complexion, really not even knowing that I am suppose to be ill!

I am so thankful towards my Heavenly Father for His goodness towards me in Christ Jesus.

Yes Elmien we are sometimes led like lambs to the slaughter because of our ignorance and our passive attitude when it comes to our health. We just submit to the health care system and society's culture and allow them to make decisions about our health which many times is detrimental or do not go far enough and in the right direction. The day has arrived that EITHER we get informed and ask questions like what are you prescribing and why, what are the consequences etc., do research on the internet and visit websites like www.honestmedicine.com and www.nutritioncancer.com and you will understand what I mean OR get a health advocate (someone who did research on these issues.).
