Well I can't help but keep wondering that if there are so many doctors who treat "mercury amalgam illness" (not mainstream of course), then how come they don't all band together and DO SOMETHING!! They obviously know what it's doing to people because they are trying to help these people get well (my doctor is one example). I figure that no matter what who comes out with, even if the researchers for CFS finally conclude that these people are poisoned with mercury, they will never be able to prove that the poisoning came from their dental fillings. I believe that is the whole problem with this issue. The dental profession will continue to argue that the mercury does not leach out of the fillings and that these people (like us) got mercury poisoning from other sources, e.g. fish, pesticides, environment. The dental profession will never have to face liability for all of the suffering and death they have caused (at least this is how I see it) The amalgams will slowly be phased out within the next 10-20 years. Some of us will be around to see it, some of us who are older might not. I do not believe we will see any justice or retribution however, just a slow hush hush phasing out of mercury amalgams, e.g. oh the white fillings "look" so much nicer than the "silver".
