Dr. Del Nichols
The Wellness Club's most highly recommended dentist for the critical task of
safe mercury amalgam removal
Dr. Dell Nichols passed away in 2009 following a
brief illness. We at the Wellness Club miss his wisdom and compassion and
extend our most heartfelt sympathies to his family. We will maintain this page
because we feel that the knowledge he gave us should be an enduring legacy to
his memory. We are currently seeking another holistic dentist of Dr. Nichols'
caliber, but his shoes will not be easily filled.
The Wellness Club is very fortunate to have located an holistic
dentist who is highly skilled in the safe removal of mercury amalgams.
In fact, Dr. Myatt felt comfortable in placing her confidence in Dr. Del to have
him replace all of her mercury amalgam fillings, and she has never for a moment
regretted her decision - she reports that her health improved markedly following
the procedure!
Here is what Dr. Del has to say about his process of
mercury amalgam removal:
We have found several unique keys that lead us to a successful Amalgam
Removal and Replacement.
Before the patient comes in for the removal we have them take a special blood
test to do a blood serum biocompatible dental material testing which shows the
different types of dental materials their unique body composition is compatible
with. Also, we can and have used other modalities for determining the proper
match up of dental materials to the patient.
Most materials in the mouth have a current that is either positive (+) or
negative (-) but the natural tooth does not have a charge. The unique principal
we have incorporated into our program is that the currents do not come out when
they [the amalgams] are removed. The standard for normal removals is to
remove one quadrant (upper right, upper left, lower right, or lower left) at a
time. The problem with this is the currents will reattach to the existing metals
in the mouth which can create a meridian overload and an electrical short
circuiting. We use an electro current analyzer to determine the currents of the
filings. We then remove the highest cumulative current quadrant first, the next
highest second and so forth. We will remove the amalgam filings two quadrants at
a time and then replace them with the compatible material. Then we remove and
replace the next two quadrants. The complete removal is accomplished in either
one or two days depending on the number of filings.
During the procedure the patient also has the option of using regular Anesthesia
or a non-invasive electrical anesthesia.
We also encourage the patient to use an oral or IV chelation and we work very
closely with a health practitioner that can perform these.
We take many precautions to protect the patient during the removal.
We use a rubber dam to keep as much debris as we can out of the patients mouth.
We use special ionizers and a Swiss filtering system to pull any debris from the
air. All of our patients are on oxygen during the entire procedure with gas also
available. All staff in the room also have masks on for their protection.
 In
the picture to the right you can see how the rubber dam seals the patients
teeth, and prevents any mercury-containing debris from contacting the tissues of
the mouth.
The picture to the left shows the extent to which Dr. Dell and his assistant
- and especially the patient - are protected during the mercury amalgam removal procedure.
As a special service we treat our patients to Hot Rock Therapy. For
patients that undergo a one day removal we give them hot rock reflexology in the
chair the last hour of the removal, and for patients who undergo a two day
removal we give them a full body hot rock therapy after the first day as well as
hot rock reflexology the last hour on the second day. This is done by Rosemary
Lynn who is a Certified Therapist in Hot Rocks, Reflexology, and CranioSacral
Therapy.
