I totally agree Demi.

I am very saddened by the lack of response when I tell people that their fillings contain mercury. It's amazing to me, especially when I have reacted so differently. When Amy told me that my fillings contain mercury (I remember the day very well and will for the rest of my life), I was shocked and immediately began to research. Within weeks of that revelation, my amalgams were removed.

The thing that I always remember, however, is that scripture says that people are like sheep, and how true it is, and even though I want to call it quits sometimes—asking myself why I spend so much time talking to people and trying to educate them when they hardly seem to care—I remember that it is my responsibility to tell the truth and attempt to help people regardless of their response. Their response is their business. Believers are the watchman on the wall and my responsibility is to sound the alarm so that people have the opportunity to respond. How they respond is completely up to them.

I am encouraged, however, by the growing numbers that do respond in a positive way. The tide is indeed turning and there will be a day when all of this information that is basic to us on this forum will also be well known universally. We just have to keep telling them, one-by-one.

Arthur Schopenhauer, the 19th century philosopher, said:

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

The mercury issue is currently in stage 2. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
