I too had these thoughts and having been diagnosed with Mercury poisoning was very cynincal and did nothing for a year BIG MISTAKE my suffering became almost unbearable and the mouth, teeth and head and face pain was like nothing on earth. Unfortunately I made the mistake of having them all ,13 removed at the same time. My immune system was definately not up to this. Three things convinced me. My dental nurse, who was a good friend and just 28 was infertile. No doctor locally could find out why, she went to Harley Street, and not only had she been made infertile, she had lymphatic cancer and died 6 months later. There are a few dental nurses on this forum who have all the symptoms of Mercury poisoning. A dentist who is a good friend has had to have both his hips replaced and do you know if you have afilling removed it is placed in a special toxic waste container and shipped to third world country landsite as toxic waste. Also as someone else has pointed out on this forum, there was a piece on the front of a Daily paper, saying that cremation costs for relatives has gone up by £100 because all amalgam fillings have to be removed from the deceased as it has been found that the Mercury from the amalgams is giving off toxic fumes into the atmosphere. My sister once went to the dentist and he remarked that one of her Mercury fillings was leaking and needing dealing with straight away. She said why is this dangerous and he said, well I would never put one in my sons mouth. Where I was diagnosed at a private hospital a 6 month old baby was being chelated as he had got Mercury poisoning from his mum who was a dentist. He had every symptom. A baby would not be able to portray what he didnt know about, I doubt whether his parents would put him through that, and must have been aware of it theirselves and I doubt any doctor would risk chelating a baby unless they were absolutely sure. I'm convinced, what more evidence do we need than thats its so dangerous its been banned in two European countries. Any others would love us to think we're all hypochondriacs. The people on this forum are much too rational and intelligent for that. Goood luck. Tracy PS I was one of the happpiest people on this Earth, lovely house, fantastic partner and a very fulfilling job, working in a school with disruptive and Autistic children, (Now I understand their behaviour so much more) My illness started the day after a visit to the dentist when I had four root canals filled in an infected tooth. I was so ill with the most bizarre symptoms and thought I had Menengitiis, coincidence? I dont think so
