Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Michelle Jorgensen. She is an author, speaker, teacher, and holistic dentist. She is a Functional Integrative Dentist (DDS) and a Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath (BCTN). She also has certifications like Therapeutic Nutritional Counselor (TNC) and Certified Nutritional Autoimmune Specialist (CNAS). Dr. Michelle grew up in a family surrounding dentistry as his father is a dentist. She also chose the same path and about 10 years later, she felt very sick. She tried to figure out what was happening, and she discovered that she developed mercury poisoning caused by mercury fillings she drilled out from her patients. As Dr. Michelle was in the process of trying to figure out what to do, the doctor mentioned that it is something that will be hard to get out of if she will continue to inhale it from her patients. She had to do some research in order to know a way to prevent it from being inhaled. She discovered an organization that has a protocol for it and started doing it herself. In this episode, Dr. Michelle discusses about the presence of mercury in the dental industry and its harmful effects on people. She talks about her personal experiences and what she had to go through when she got mercury poisoning. Aside from that, she will also be discussing topics like sleeping problems and their correlation with oxygen or airways.

It wouldn’t show up easily on a hair analysis test. A provocation test can be done to detect mercury in the body as it takes something from the tissue for testing.  The best way to find the kind of Mercury you are dealing with is through a urine test It took a while before Dr. Michelle’s health improved due to Mercury exposure. It’s a slow process of recovery. [11:38] Mercury Poisoning and Its Harmful Effects on the Body Zinc helps in creating stomach acid.  The presence of mercury in the body prevents the creation of stomach acid, hence it’ll be hard to digest food and absorb the nutrients. No matter what you do, if your stomach can’t create acid, it’ll be hard to break down food. You’ll end up getting malnourished and a lot of problems may arise.
