They even admit they found elevated levels of mercury in people with amalgam fillings but still insist that it isn't enough mercury to cause harmfull effects. Somehow sensativity to metals can vary greatly according to medical Literature (think molybdenum, selenium) but somehow mercury is an amazing exception to this rule?

I am the only person i know in the flesh dealing with mercury toxicity. There a 1000s of people walking around with silver fillings apparently enjoying life, including my mum who has a mouthful and acts much younger than me. If it affected everyone then it would be banned, there would be no doubt. It probably is affecting everyone but they arnt having symptoms like us, we seem to be a minority. We know that mercury can cause really serious diseases in the long run, but like myself i didnt bother getting mine removed until i got ill. I knew about mercury years ago but it wasnt enough to get them out. If a few more famous people got poisoned and told their story maybe people might start thinking.

I think you are right, Dawn, that those who manifest a lot of symptoms are in the minority. However, as so many people are ill today and on medication for this that or the other, I wouldn't be surprised if their real problem is heavy metal poisoning.

Yeah, look at all the autoiimune diseases out there and they are increasing. Look at all the cancers. Most people are just not aware of the cause. What should really surprise is not that there are so many sick people around, but that so many of us are still actually alive.

Your mothers fillings may have been placed a long time ago.The type of fillings used before 1980 leak around 10% of the hg that the newer type leak.
