My biological dentist who is in the process of removing my amalgams told me something quite sad yesterday. I was telling him about the FDA statement that I came across the other day about the strict protocols that must be adhered to when disposing of scrap amalgam (see my recent post).

He told me about the gentleman who picks up their scrap amalgam from their clinic. Apparently that is his sole job - he travels around to all the dental clinics picking up their scrap amalgam waste for 'proper disposal'. Apparently his whole body and hands especially shake uncontrollably.

Poor guy. Probably has absolutely no idea what is wrong with him. I believe that we on this forum have a pretty good idea though!! Personally, I think that my dentist should have a word with him on the quiet.
