Hi Demi,

I had all my amalgams replaced with DiamondLite, which contains no Bis-GMA (bisphenol).

I used to have horrible PMS and menstrual cycles before the removal. Even if I used a natural progesterone cream faithfully, it still only helped a little.

Once the amalgams were out, everything began improving. Today (4 years post-removal), I basically don't have any problems. If I've been eating bad the week or so before, like lots of caffeine from iced tea or lots of sugar and salt (every now and then I fall off the wagon, you know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />), then I might get some minor cramping the 1st day, but that's it.

I've also found that by faithfully taking the progesterone cream Pro-G-Yam 500, I don't have any cramping AND my cycle is lighter and shorter. Yeah!

I know that mercury was the culprit. In fact, my sister's cycles were so bad that by age 13 or 14, the doctor put her on birth control to ease her pain and discomfort.

I'm positive it's no coincidence that she had several silver caps (which I'm sure had mercury) on her baby teeth, and then had several amalgam fillings between the age of 8-10. Plus, she was a very picky eater growing up and suffered from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). So, for breakfast, she would usually only eat a partial can of tuna fish! I'm sure she ate like this for years, so it's no wonder that between the tuna fish and the dental mercury, her body was a wreck.

Well, I hope this helps. Sorry to go on and on. I just can't begin to express how getting my amalgams removed has absolutely changed my life!

Demi, I wish you the best, and definitely check into the DiamondLite material. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
