Oh NO! Well, horrible as this sounds, if you had not had this problem you may well have the attitude they have "mercury is safe". And I would have also had I not gotten sick.

THis is the way of people, unless it happens to them, usually they do not buy into it. IT's a rare person that considers the possibility if they haven't experienced or seen for themselves.

You can get people who have a mouth packed full of amalgam and are very healthy, but you may find a lot of people with amalgams who are usually ailing one way or the other. Tired a lot, grumpy, headaches, unwell, quite pale looking. Certainly they maybe having otherwise normal lives, working etc and never attribute their day to day problems with amalgams at all. I'm not saying it definitely is, but those with amalgams in my life are not all in tip top shape AT ALL. But for sure they are relatively ok and lead normal lives.

I was the one that copped it. The most healthiest people i've seen around me have been those with false teeth. Coincidence or not I dont know.

But there are some people who get sick even from a tiny pit filling. So it seems to come down to immune status, overall toxic load, ability to excrete mercury well or not, sensitivity etc. If someone is quite strong, does not have much else other than amalgams, is not sensitive to metals, has no problem eliminating toxins or mercury, then you probably wont ever see a problem. Sometimes it can take a knock to their immunity that is bad enough or some other toxicity to make them suddenly suseptible.

Like myself, it was not obvious that I had an issue with mercury until I got braces on my teeth and that extra toxic load and sensitivity my body had to put up, including the increased uptake of mercury from the differing metals being placed together was the last straw and kicked me into chronic illness from then on.

You maybe like others here that tend to retain mercury and/or your immunity may not be as strong. You could also have something else going on that is making you more vulnerable to the mercury. One thing is certain, mercury does not belong in anybody's mouth. It is the most toxic metal known to man.

It must be very hard for you to live around others who seem completely immune to it. But you have to believe in yourself and if you feel those two fillings maybe hindering you and making you toxic, then I would seek to have them removed by a biologic dentist with full protection and have a go at detoxing.

Either way, you will still be eliminating a source of potent poison. If you cannot get support from any of them, at least you will get it from people on here. Many of us have had the same cynical disbelief as well. Though I am lucky my parents believed me, though relatives were cynical, and some very unpleasant.

It is better than doing nothing and just thinking well this is it, I'm just sick cause i'm sick. At least you are trying to find possible reasons and investigating it, if it turns out not to be the case, so what? Many of us have had to try and eliminate every possible reason for our health being this bad. At least we're not sitting like vegetables doing nothing about it and complaining.

You can't win. If you try and do somethign or find some reason for your sickness, you get told you're neurotic. If you do nothing and dont investigate, you get told to get off your as* and try and do something about it. lol.
