I am so glad to have found this forum...I am going to be getting all my amalgams removed asap. I believe my dentist knows what he is doing...he is a holistic dentist and he requires that his patients read Huggins' book before treating them. The only thing is I don't think he does chelation...he does muscle testing to decide which supplements to give for detoxing though.

My history...I think I got my first filling when I was 14. I have quite a few huge fillings now and one root canal. I had health problems before the root canal, but afterward my health really spiralled. I have thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar, heart, kidney, etc issues.

If I had any doubts about having mercury toxicity, my last dental visit took care of those. A filling crackedand had decay underneath. He drilled only enough to get rid of the decay and then put a temp filling on to tide me over til we can get the whole deal done (I'm waiting on income tax refund). Well, just from that tiny bit of drilling I have had horrid symptoms and exacerbation of symptoms. I want this stuff out of my mouth asap! I want my life back.

One of my daughters had a bad molar that was filled and then crowned when she was 4 years old. The dentist assured me they didn't use amalgams, but composite. Yet the crown is metal. She has been having body aches (mostly in the legs) ever since. I thought it was growing pains, and then celiac disease. She did improve somewhat on a gluten free diet but still complains of body aches and fatigue often.

Do you think the crown would cause problems even if it is on top of a composite filling?
