This shouldn't be taken lightly, because root canals can be even WAY MORE toxic than fillings. An excellent dental surgeon to consult regarding root canals is Dr. Kulacz of Mt. Kisco, NY. He also wrote a book, and he has a website. Just somehow, try to get a panoramic xray taken of your mouth. Then, for about $150, if you mail the panorex to Dr. Kulacz, he can advise you what to do next.

BTW, Russ, I'm so thankful to your for creating this site and for sharing your story. Because although I would occasionally see posts on boards screaming "Mercury Amalgam!" it never really sunk in that tooth fillings can actually have an effect on the rest of the body. But after a naturopath told me I have alot of metal, I'd started doing research, then happened upon your story, which is what convinced me more than anything. Because I realized from your story and your logic, that you're not one of those gullible "placebo-effect" nitwits, who are all too ubiquitous on health forums. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

So... thanks! Because according to my hair elements results, I indeed meet 2/3 of Andy Cutler's counting rules for mercury toxicity, and I'm above the 95th percentile for toxic representation. I have extremely high cadmium, as well as alot of arsenic (both of which are even higher than mercury). And my mineral transport is all out of whack, with many being low, and four of them way down.
