Oh dear,I feel like this forum is starting to have a witch hunt feel to it and it really seems to be counter- productive to sharing information that is so vital to anyones chance for recovery.I have absolutely no intention of offending anyone, especially not Tracy who seems to have had such a really dreadful time of it but on the other hand I think things said about a dentist here can have a huge impact on their practice , not to mention our need to know who is a trustworthy dentist. As I said on my previous post, I found Hesham a completely sincere person in all my dealings with him, even when he didnt want to do things MY way, he was willing to negogiate and really listened, gave me his home phone number and kept in personal contact even when he was ill.The thing that bothers me here is the issue of the permenant or temporary fillings and this should be relatively easy to clear up. All I know is that Hesham NEVER places permenent fillings in teeth that he removes amalgam from until after he feels that you have detoxed, so, if Tracy had amalgam out from him, then the fillings she would be given would be temporaries until she would have completed her detox,only then would the permanent fillings be put in. So, were these fillings the first ones or the second ones that Hesham did? This should be a relatively easy matter to clear up and it would be good for us out here to know so that we can all make the best informed choiceswithout putting ourselves or someonescareer at risk.I have no vested interest here,I am only concerned with the best information being made available to all and it would be a shame if people made an erroneous decision about a good dentist if that dentist were only following their own protocol.
