Because my health has been rather excellent for most of my life up until the dental incidents of last winter. I had some pulled. I fear two things... the plastic resins they use these days seem to cause me more issues than the amalgam... and the dentists around here don't really impress me very much. I lost one tooth very unnecessarily that route.

Though I like the one tha pulled the last two teeth. My molars with the remaining amalgam are so messed up after all these years, cracks etc, I really don''t see the point of taking the plastic resin risk. I'd only be trading for petro chems, uranium and possibly aluminum anyway. I have long standing issues with petro chemicals, the resins especially.

I seem to have struck a balance where I'm at.

Really, the liver cleanse seems to cover more bases.

And I love eating the cilantro pesto anyway... with the few molars I've got left... I'd hate to lose them anytime soon so I think I will leave well enough alone for now.

well enough, I guess that is it in a nutshell.
