both my brother and myself have been poisoned through our amalgam dental filling , with many of the symtoms ,I have had mine removed ,my brother has not started yet ( I decided to go first and be the lab rat) so far so good , any way my brother knows a dentist in town and was visiting him one afternoon and asked him about mercury in the dental fillings and was told by the dentist with out a dought that they do contain mercury, infact he took one of the premixed amalgam capsules that he uses in his office and opened it up to show my brother the liquid mercury in the center of the dry mix ,( they are mixed together to form the amalgam filling ) that we are all too familiar with ,when my brother told me this ,It made more determined than ever to have my amagams removed, the sad thing is that if any one of us out side the dentistry field were to put some mercury in someones food ,and they ingested it ,unknowingly ,we would be convicted of attemted murder and sent to prison a very for a long time ,but it is being done thousands if not hundereds of thousands of times each and every day by dentist that are aware of what they are putting into our bodies ( just thought I would share that little tidbit with members in the forum)
