Patient Success Stories
Introduction
Over the past several years, I have had the unique opportunity to experience first hand, what the significance of the oral cavity has to do with the body’s relationship to our overall health and wellness. There seems to be a growing recognition among some dentist and other health care providers that dental problems such as cavities, infections, toxic or allergy-producing filling materials, root canals, and misalignment of the teeth or jaw can have far-reaching affects through out the body.
With this in mind, it only made sense to ask my patients to help evaluate and record any changes in their health conditions once the fundamental principles of biological dentistry were applied to their own personal situations. It is important to point out however, that most patients receiving treatment in our office are also being treated by other health care professionals to support and strengthen their entire body in order to achieve optimal health. I believe that addressing the dental issues are important, but remember not to neglect the rest of the body if you want to experience maximum benefits for yourself.
I do not promote the removal of mercury fillings and/or root canal teeth; these decisions are made solely by the patient.
The following testimonials were written by my patients, in their own words, once their dental treatment was completed. Although no guarantees or promises can be made in regards to patients’ outcome, the health improvements that are noted here are both inspirational and helpful for others who may be searching for answers to health questions that still remain unresolved.
Experiencing more energy…
Prior to getting rid of the greatest mercury problems, upper and lower right teeth; I was getting sluggish by 3-4 p.m. I have always been known for my limitless energy and never felt “tired” during the day – until the last several years.
Further, I had trouble sleeping when I did go to bed, regardless of the time. There was a “taste” of metal in my mouth.
After the initial replacement my energy level increased dramatically. There is now no metallic taste at all and I am sleeping well whether I go to bed early or late. I seldom fall asleep during movies or theater performances anymore.
I know I still have a ways to go, but I am thrilled with my progress.
P.S. Migraine headaches began about 2 years ago, coming about 1 or 2 times per month. I have not had one since the filling replacement.

The most obvious change for me was the return of stamina and energy. I felt like my old self. However, as I went through the check list I also realized that irritability that I had associated with stress has all but disappeared. That realization makes great sense to me because the stress has not decreased.

Since the completion of removal of nine amalgam fillings and replacement of them with eight porcelain onlays and one composite filling. I have noted a distinct increase in energy. This has been through being able to work longer during the day, but also in having more energy during the day. I also seem to be able to recover more quickly from days of higher than normal physical stress. The only significant difference in my general lifestyle during this time period was the replacement of my amalgam fillings, which leads me to believe that this event was most probably responsible for my health improvement. I would note that both physicians whom I see, my general practitioner and my allergist had strongly recommended that for several years that I take this action. Testing prior to the procedure confirmed that I had a much higher than safe mercury level in my body. I am undergoing intravenous DMPS therapy to correct this.
Overall, I would recommend that all individuals consider removal of their amalgam fillings. The thought to consider is that there is definitely a potential for gaining enhanced health and nothing to lose.

Emotions, energy & thought process improved…
After my second quadrant removal, my friends and family noticed color returning to my face. I had always been pale, washed out. The things most obvious to me at this point are my emotions, energy level, and thought process. I am much more positive in my outlook, the little things that used to seem like huge annoyances, I now laugh off. Energy level definitely improved.
I feel like a caged bird that has been set free!!
Looking forward to optimum health and am optimistic that it is attainable.
THANK YOU

Headaches diminished…
For some 6 to 7 years, I have had bad headaches almost daily. Now I have a headache only once or twice a week, and much less severe.
In the past year I have gone from 152 pounds down to 130 pounds. I have now regained to 138 pounds and climbing. My sinus problems have decreased approximately 50%. I have had mild depression in the past and that has improved probably 90%. I still have problems with arthritis, but am still seeing my alternative doctor for that problem.

Back pain improves…
I came in contact with your office and staff when we were seeking a dentist to remove the amalgam fillings from my husband’s teeth. He had experienced failing health for about 2 years, which several doctors could not explain. When friends suggested this might help we were eager to give it a try.
I was so pleased with his recovery that I elected to have my teeth examined. They discovered I had one tooth that was traumatized, probably due to an auto accident in 1988. I had some back pain once in a while before the accident, but never to the degree of pain after the accident. I had sought medical help to no avail. I have received chiropractic adjustments, on the average of once a month, over the past few years.
When I came to the dental office with my husband I read a chart pinpointing which tooth affected certain parts of the body. I realized if the injured tooth were extracted, there would be a possibility that my back would improve. On the day I had the appointment to extract the tooth in question, I was having severe back pain. To my surprise, the pain was relieved as soon as the tooth was extracted. That was October 8 and the pain has not returned.
In Psalms, the Bible states, “We are fearfully and wonderfully made,” I believe this verifies that scripture.
Thank you for all your help and support!

“I have a life…”
I came to your office, diagnosed with allergies, depression, sleep apnea, fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue. I could only be up one hour at a time, due to the fatigue. I was in intense pain. I had itching all over my body, skin was really dry, even though I used lotion. I had brain-fog really bad. If I were asked a question it took me a while to process it. I couldn’t concentrate on anything.
Since having my amalgam fillings removed, “I have a life”. I can walk 1 mile every day with out the fibromyalgia burn in my legs. I wake up at 8 am and don’t have to take naps. I can sleep with out my c-pap machine, and even with the windows open! I have lost the deep deep horrible cough I had. I have a renewed interest in my hobbies. My skin is clear and doesn’t itch anymore. I have a bounce in my step again – I’m in the process of weaning off my antidepressants.
I thank God constantly for answering my prayers. I “would” and “do” highly recommend having any mercury fillings removed. You and your staff have been wonderful. They “actually” care about you and it shows in how they treat you.

Sinus problems improve…
Before I had the metal’s removed I had all kinds of sinus problems. Since they are gone the sinus problems are nil – one year later.

More energy – less headaches…
Life has improved so much that it is hard to remember what it was like before.
I still need 8-9 hours of sleep most nights, but I no longer need a 2-3 hour nap every day - I no longer need 20 minute cat naps every couple of hours.
I go weeks without headaches instead of days. I can focus and retain much more information I don’t catch every cold I’m exposed to – I haven’t had any bronchial infections or yeast infections – they were chronic before.
As I approach my sixties I definitely feel better than I did in my thirties.

Vision, hearing and motor coordination improves…
I am so grateful to have found successful treatment through your biological dentistry. On August 3, 2004, I had two mercury fillings removed from my molars. I’d had some mercury fillings as long as 45 years. The dentist did not use all precautions in removing the mercury – or else my levels were already high from leaky fillings. Twelve days later my vision went double and my balance was affected so that I couldn’t walk well.
Doctors were baffled. They thought it was MS or a brain tumor or a palsied optical nerve. But I continued to deteriorate until my speech became slurred to being almost unintelligible, I couldn’t walk with out assistance, my ears rang so loudly I couldn’t hear, I had excessive salivation, cold not longer write, eyes no longer focused, I was confused, had no short term memory – I was a MESS. Driving was out of the question! Tremors in my hands and motor co-ordination was an issue. I got to the point where I had trouble swallowing/breathing. No one knew why. Several doctors said it was just old age. A few weeks earlier I had been training for a marathon and did yoga regularly.
I finally found a holistic physician that suggested that I probably had mercury poisoning. She began chelation and sent me to your office for mercury removal.
You began by removing two teeth with root canals. One of which contained mercury. My breathing improved immediately!
After 3 sessions of mercury removal, I found I improved dramatically with each treatment. In early December 2004, I could again walk alone with out assistance. My hearing returned and motor co-ordination improved. By Christmas I took off my eye patch.
Thank You so much for your safe dentistry. I am about 95% better, 100% mercury free and getting my life back- THANK YOU.

Metallic taste gone, energy continues to improve…
This is my personal testimony regarding the benefits I have received since having some dental work done with Dr. Michael Rehme. Twenty years ago I had 6 crowns with metal racks placed on my upper front teeth. In the years which followed I began to experience a multitude of symptoms including a vibrating, buzzing sensation in my gums, a metallic taste in my mouth, periodic ringing in my ears, and extreme fatigue. When my crowns were removed I had an immediate surge of energy all over my face. It felt like a weight had been lifted off me. Since then, I have had no further buzzing sensations, no metallic taste, and no ringing in the ears. My energy level continues to improve. Thank you Dr. Rehme & staff for the great work!

Weight problems, fatigue and digestive problems improve…
Thank you, Dr. Rehme, for helping me improve my health. When I first came to talk to you about removing my amalgam fillings, I had many problems. For years, O had been trying everything possible to regain my health, from acupuncture and chiropractic, to exercise and healthy eating habits. While all of these things helped, I still felt there was something missing. After reading about the dangers of mercury in amalgam fillings, I knew in my heart that that was the missing link.
When I first saw you, I was underweight, extremely fatigued, foggy headed, chemically sensitive, and had many digestive problems including IBS. After the first quadrant was completed, my mouth felt much lighter in that area, but there was no health improvement. But, after the second quadrant, my appetite Improved dramatically and I gained 10 pounds in two weeks! Then, it leveled off and by the time the third quadrant was completed the same thing happened again with improved appetite but not as much weight gain. After the final quadrant was completed, there was no dramatic change. Instead I seemed to gradually improve in many ways. My mind became clearer and I could make plans for days in advance instead of walking around in a fog. I now have more energy and the digestive problems are much improved, especially the IBS. My blood pressure, which historically has been very low, has now become normal.
I thought I was doomed to a miserable old age, but, thanks to you and your fine staff, I am regaining my health and starting new projects that I never thought possible before. Thanks again!

Candidias Improved…
I began treatment to remove my mercury fillings in July 2001, completed the treatment by October 2001. I initially saw my dentist because I found out I had candidacies. I became aware that my mercury fillings were greatly contributing to my ill health. I am now free of candidacies and I feel the removal of all mercury from my mouth played a major role in my recovery. My health has improved remarkably; my digestion is much better and regular bowel movements are an everyday reality. I don’t think my recovery candidias would have been so rapid if I had not attended to the removal of the heavy metals from my mouth.
I am very happy that I had this treatment.

I am a 72 year old female who was referred to this office by a preventive medicine doctor. I had a severe medical problem, Candida, and had trouble getting a permanent cure. I did my home work and found that my mercury fillings were keeping my immune system working full time to rid my body of those poisons and there was little or nothing left for the removal of the Candida or any other medical problems.
In early 2003 I made an appointment with your office and was tested and found I was in fact leaking out much mercury with each and every bite I took.
During the removal of these toxins I made a casual comment that I had lost the use of my left arm to a great extent and woke up every time I turned on my left shoulder because of the pain. The doctor asked if I had injured my arm in any way. When I said “NO” he and his assistant both turned and looked at the tooth-organ chart. One of my root canals was in the very tooth and chart showed governed my left shoulder.
The work on my mouth has been completed. I had all of the metal in my mouth removed as well as the two root canals I had. The end result was my Candida is 99% cured and I have a left arm that is totally useful and not longer pains me. (I never dreamed that would happen). I also have a beautiful “perfect” set of teeth. I now look forward to many more healthy years. I would do it again in a minute.
