I honestly don't know how anyone can think putting a toxin in our teeth is anything but harmful! It's craziness. But, people will listen to what they want to listen to. All I say now in response to people who think I'm nuts about the amalgam causing problems "if you believe they are safe, you have them."

The question to ask, in my opinion, is not "are there any proven harmful effects", but "are there any studies to prove they are safe?" And the answer is no.

It's so important to research everything because doctors etc can not be relied on to tell people the truth. I am involved with pro-life, and it's amazing how readily people believe what they are told i.e. birth control pills can abort post conception by shedding the lining of the womb to prevent implantation. Doctors do not generally tell women this, only that they prevent ovulation. Birth control pills therefore are not just contraceptives, but also abortificients, and should be marketed as both contraceptives in that they can prevent conception, but also abortificient in that they can prevent implantaion after conception. Then people will argue that lots don't implant anyway etc, but as it's extremely difficult to know if conception has taken place before implantation, how can they know? Then there is the whole side effects of putting hormones into ones bodies. I swear that the reason so many women are moody these days is because of the pills, which most women are on. And, as they pump so much hormone into the body, who knows the effect this has on the baby.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but this is another subject I feel strongly that people should be told all the facts.
