mercury detoxifying
Mercury is the most poisonous material on the planet, & is even in low energy light bulbs. One picture on a website showed vapour coming from a mercury dental filling 50 years after it was put in, so it's never too late to remove it. If you're thinking of having mercury dental fillings removed see http:// %¤#&!§-/ for its forum.
There will be mercury all over the mouth, & this has to be removed through using a steam sauna or breathe through the mouth over a kettle filled with tap water. The chlorine in tap water also combines with mercury. Or use water with a small amount of bleach because it contains Chlorine. It is a good idea to add tea tree oil to the mixture as it can help protect the teeth.
It will take years to remove it all.
When the fillings have been removed, there will now be a big deposit of mercury gas where the fillings used to be. If the dentist puts in permanent fillings, you won't have open access to that area. If you use one of the dentists trained to remove mercury fillings safely they should understand what the problem is. If you don't your only solution is to find a dentist who will replace them with temporary fillings(which can be removed by cocktail sticks). Such dentists will be hard to find.

Why the government want us using low energy bulbs-mercury:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55213
shows you what really happens with those compact energy saving fluorescent light bulbs. they contain the most poisonous material on the planet - mercury. mercury is not radioactive but since it's that poisonous, it makes no difference.

:
"They have also been shown to cause
Depression and allergic reaction in some people due to the light they emit, which is very different than that from a regular light bulb. It is cold and lifeless.
What about recycling - the energy saving light bulb CAN not be recycled at this point. If people throw them away in the trash, which most of them will do, we will end up with tonnes of non-organic mercury in our waters and landfills, which is far more dangerous that the organic mercury produced by power plants."
I've used the low energy bulbs for over a decade. 2 of them lasted far less than it's claimed.
manual thermostats(not sure which type) & some LEDs have mercury too.
the government/the most powerful are trying to ban old bulbs in country after country, a violation of our choice. that's called a covert dictatorship. do you think those very high up in power really really care for the environment? if they don't care for humans, I hardly think there's much chance of them caring for the environment. it makes no difference to them whether the bulbs use 80% less energy or 1%. if it was 1% they would come up with some other excuse. they want people using them because it will mean even greater mercury contamination everywhere because the horror is that most people will just throw them in the bin after they no longer work.

is a short page everyone should read with revealing facts about mercury contamination.
bulbs sent for toxic disposal by qualified companies should be VERY well wrapped in bubble-wrap.
