Hello. I just found this place while studying more about mercury and its effects on our health. I am a 43 year old wife and Mom with a mouth full of mercury.

I have a "benign" heart arrythmia. My Doc calls it benign, but it aint in his chest! At times it feels like I have a little model T engine in there, and its not hitting on all cylinders. Very unnerving. I take a beta blocker which only helps a little. Curiously, it often seems worse after eating.

I also have a lot of joint pain. I do not use drugs nor alcohol, but I am addicted to sweets.

Quite some time back I first read "Its all in your head", and I haven't been to a dentist since. My Dad has recently been diagnosed with possible Lewy Body dementia, which is a form of Alzhiemers. So, I have been studying again about mercury toxicity. Unfortunatly, I don't think I can presuade my Dad to get his fillings removed, but I have decided to start the process of getting mine removed.

I live in a rural area, and though I have not called them, I would doubt any of our local dentists would agree with mercury being bad. A dentist 50 miles away does remove amalgams, and advertises as a "holistic" dentist. He also charges $95 for the first consultation, and the x-rats are extra. I can see this adding up to more than I can afford! I have 8 molars that are totally filled, in fact the teeth are gray from it. I wonder if maybe just having the teeth pulled might not be a better route to go.

There are other symptoms I am having that I wonder if they could be related to my fillings, but the heart deal and joint pain are really the worst at this time.

I am very worried, with my Dad's diagnosis, that my long term health might follow his if I don't get something done.

Also, I know nothing about how to get the mercury out once the fillings are removed.

Anyway, this is who I am. Maybe I will hang around here and learn something!

Thanks for listening, and God Bless!
