Thank you.

I think this raises another question... How can a tiny piece of mercury prevent a person from healing?

Maybe you finde this interesting:

Scientific evidence

A study published in 2004 examines the health impact of amalgam replacement in mercury-allergic patients with autoimmunity. The patients, who suffered from different autoimmune diseases, were selected on the basis of an existing allergy to mercury (diagnosed with MELISA® testing) and also that they had amalgam fillings as the single restorative material in their teeth. The amalgam was replaced with composites and ceramic materials. Half a year later, MELISA® was re-done to see if there had been any change in the original positive response. Also, the heath status was measured by objective tests and the patient's gave a subjective opinion on whether their health had improved. Download the full article (pdf).

The results showed that the in vitro reactivity after the replacement of amalgam decreased significantly to inorganic mercury, silver, organic mercury and lead. Out of 35 patients, 71% showed improvement of health. [b]The remaining patients exhibited either unchanged health or worsening of symptoms. Interestingly enough, their responses to mercury didn't decrease - which suggests that there exists a different source of exposure than amalgam. [/b]Patients with multiple sclerosis observed the highest rate of improvement while the lowest rate was noted in patients with eczema.

This may explain why some people do not recover following amalgam removal..

I am doing a lot of research in this area because i still cannot understand why some people seem to tolerate amalgam fillings well and others (like me) get terribly sick from a few fillings...

Do you have an idea what this hidden source of exposure could be? Or do you believe many dentists are simply not thorough enough?....

I would like to know since i am one of the people who seem to get sick from small amounts of mercury.......
