Problems with Crowns on Teeth
Many people have concerns over the possibility metal crowns might be a factor that is contributing to their symptoms. To explore this possibility, I interviewed Simon King, a chiropractor from a town just north of London, England. During my interview with Simon (which is posted on this blog April 1st, 2009 – which is no joke) I discovered that one of my metal crowns appeared to be interrupting the signals that are continuously being exchanged between my brain and my muscles. Simon explained that this problem would lead to serious health challenges for me down the line.
I decided to replace the metal crown. My dentist completed replacement of my problematic metal crown with a non-metal crown. The new crown is called a lava crown which is a type of hand pressed glass material. It is very durable and non toxic.
It has now been four weeks since the replacement. Before I had problems swallowing pills. That challenge has eased considerably. I have no more sore throats or sore gums. I have more energy. I hear more clearly. It doesn’t hurt now to chew food. All in all I would say it was a good decision to replace the metal crown.
If you have an intuition that metal in your mouth might be causing some of your symptoms, I invite you to listen to my interview with Simon which is an entry posted here on
If you are motivated to exlore this option further, you can check out a listing of 147 holistic dentists (primarily in the US) who are have special training in the replacement of metal fillings or crowns with non-metalic material. This particular group of dentists call themselves holistic dentists. They are concerned about the potential health problems that metal crowns might be causing for people.
Do we know for sure whether metal in your mouth can cause the symptoms of parkinson’s. There is no definitive research on the matter. Speaking intuitively, my body feels stronger, lighter and healthier now that the metal has been removed from my mouth.
If you have any personal experience with getting metal removed from your teeth, please comment! Some people with the symptoms of Parkinsons tell me that they experience little difference after getting the metal removed. Other people tell me they notice a huge improvement.
If there is an ounce of a chance it might help, the issue surely merits further investigation. If you have had any personal experience with metal crowns or fillings, please comment!

I am highly allergic to nickel. I am a nurse and noticed it first when
my skin reacted to a watch that I was wearing. Then an earring literally destroyed my left ear. Then I had two metal crowns placed on my teeth and I looked and the gums above only these teeth have receded greatly. I believe that allergies to metal can create big to smaller problems. I am waiting for the money to get them replaced by non metal crowns.
I recently did a water fast after a juice fast so my system was pretty cleaned out.
By the end of day one I had a very strong metallic taste in my mouth.
By day 2 of my water fast my teeth were becoming intolerable. I wanted to pull the metal from my mouth.
The idea of water fasting is that after using all the food you have in your system for energy your body pulls energy by converting fat and anything other than protein tissue (muscle). This mean it will scour the body for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the older, damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells.
This is detox. Your body also uses the energy that it would normally use on digestion to repair damage.
Well one way or another I could feel/sense the battle going on under my crown that had a metal core and the result was I came close to pulling that tooth from my mouth.
I am now seeking a dentist to remove the crown.
