That's where I pinpoint it all, because before that, life was much happier and healthier for me. Braces pretty much destroyed it all. Though in hindsight, I now believe I was never well, but probably "hanging in there". I guess the braces were the key that buckled my body's ability to continue coping with the amalgams.

Whatever happened, I never recovered and though they were removed, the "improvement" was minimal and the health problems an ongoing issue in my life and horrific at that. I gather the metal toxins from braces are significant and as bad, if not worse than mercury from amalgam. The combination is even worse. Add that, plus the galvanic response of opposing metals, which increases the uptake of mercury from amalgam and you pretty much have a disaster waiting to happen to anybody more vulnerable/sensitive than someone else.

Yes, metal braces promote metal poisoning and ill health. I am a testament to that unfortunate fact. I had a friend that got braces very late in life (early twenties) and even her, in all her good health, was never as healthy with them, much paler and more depressed. Coincidence? I don't know. Though unlike me, she at least bounced back.


Did she only have amalgams, or just the braces?
