HI Sandi, thanks for your very helpful comments. I would say you'd be correct in them all, but the gene one, as I got tested and apparently I am "ok" in that area. Which makes no sense as one doctor said I was one of the worst cases of mercury retention he'd seen in all his career and he had treated over 600 patients with mercury.

So maybe there is something else in that area that they're missing on some people that causes them to retain toxins.

I think too that braces was the limit for me. I would say I was already ill but didn't realise it as much and it only took one more knock to send me into full on mercury toxicity.

The whole thing is tragic when you consider none of it need be necessary. It's like so many diseases and how some people are almost unaffected and others die left right and centre. You can never predict how one person's body is going to react, but putting mercury in fillings? That is a no brainer! Being a potent neurotoxin and second only to plutonium in toxicity and vaporing so easily, you'd think that maybe, just maybe...it might not be wise to put inside a human beings mouth.

Thanks again Sandi for your observations! It is awful what these things can lead to and you know that more than most of us on here!!

Best wishes and take care

Bex.
