I have read it also causes endiometriosis in some women. It seems to cause different things in different people, attacking genetic weaknesses. The hard thing is to know what is a genuine problem and what is caused by the mercury. And because different people have different symptoms, they say it's not proof that it causes any of them.

I'm sorry about your sister. Unless I have a miraculous recovery mentally and physically after replacement and detox, I will never have a child. Physically I think I am majorly toxic and wouldn't want to deliberately conceive while I am toxic, but I think I might be a long time as I'm going to be about 31 before I have all my fillings replaced. Mentally, I just couldn't cope with the demands of a child.

I passed my childhood dentist building today and the lights were on and I saw into the room where I got all my fillings. It really gave me shivers and a lump in my throat to think of the child I was before I had them and the very mentally sick child I became within 2 years of my first filling.

I look at pictures of my mother as a young girl and it brings tears into my eyes to see how happy and beautiful she was. Then she started to get fillings as an adult and she just isn't the same person anymore. She has OCD, has suffered severe post-natal depression, very light sensitive and started menopause in her late thirties. I think both she and I have sensitivity to mercury. And I think this is why so called experts are saying that OCD is hereditary, usually on the mother's side, because children are going to have the same genes as their mother. If we had the same hereditary condition, it doesn't make sense to me that I had it as a child and she not until well into adulthood - and the catalyst for both of us being amalgam fillings.

I don't think the mercury is directly responsible for all my health problems, but indirectly I think it may well be i.e. cause the OCD, which causes high stress, which causes depression, which causes lack of energy to always take good care of myself, which causes other problems, and then making my hormone system vulnerable which is then overthrown by the stress. I, therefore, don't think it's an exaggeration to say that mercury is the root of my health problems.

It's amazing that the only place mercury is considered safe is in the mouth. The rationality behind that is totally incomprehensible to me. Those who promote amalgam are not fit to be in care of anyone's health.
