Margaret, first of all, congratulations! That's a lot of heavy stuff to go through. Am so glad you are doing so much better!

I recently learned that dentists can lose their license or whatever from the American Dental Association if they even TALK about mercury. They are simply not allowed to talk about it at all. When you mentioned about asking the doctor if he thought what you did had turned the situation around, it occurs to me that he may not be ALLOWED to admit such things. You think? (And yet, your doctor came closer to admitting it than the vast majority of similar stories I have heard. Usually they will flat out deny the possibility.)

BRAVO...!!!!!!
