Re: i cant believe the truth in medicine forum!!!
I think HV's theory on Mercury
Amalgams has some merit if a person has had the same fillings for all his/her life. Maybe you can escape relatively unharmed if you keep those same fillings and also eat the required amount of pectins etc to carry it out.
However, things become alot more muddled when a person has their fillings removed and replaced - like I did - at a relatively regular rate (on average three or four fillings every three years). With this scenario you get the constant low-dose of mercury(believed to be around 15mcg per day) along with the very significant exposure whilst getting them removed and replaced with a 'fresh batch'. Also, because of the incompetence of dentists, you might find yourself swallowing a bit as well (again like I did).
This is when - in my opinion - that the amount accumulated in the body excedes the amount being excreted. This is also when things start going 'tits-up'. British slang for 'downhill'. Basically random health issues start appearing. Vaccinations, poor diet, candida etc can also 'chime in' and make an increasingly bad situation even worse.
So, if you've got unexplained health problems AND you've been back and forth to dentists your whole life, get those bad boys out. Safely of course.
