Dear Anonymous,

I had all 20 of my mercury fillings removed by a dentist that had been specially-trained in and followed all the safe mercury-removal protocols. The dentist used a biocompatible material called DiamondLite, which contains no Bis-GMA (bisphenol A diglycidylether methacrylate). Not only does bisphenol have estrogenic effect, I also understand that it can cause liver and kidney damage long-term. According to my dentist, most of his patients (about 80%) get DiamondLite.

Regarding milk as a source of trytophan...you might consider trying a supplement called 5-HTP (5-hydroxy-trytophan). This is a natural supplement that is the intermediary between trytophan and serotonin. The body produces 5-HTP from trytophan and uses the 5-HTP to produce serotonin. Here's some information about 5-HTP.
