Hi LucieM,

Oh no! I hope you don't got what I have. I too look like I'm about 8 months pregnant but I'm not, because I'm infertile from too much estrogen due to the amalgams, other heavy metals, and white composites I had most of my life.

Did you know that many white composites have Bis- phenol A and Bis GMA which is the same thing? This is an estrogen behaving substance that can cause all kinds of hormonal problems including breast cancer. The hormonal problem I had most of my life, is Poly cistic ovarian syndrome which has cause me to have ovarian cists, be overweight, and infertile, hypoglocemia, baldness, and excess hair on the body.

I got all the toxic metals and composites out just recently and quess what the dentist put in as a replacement? He put the filtrex supreme direct white composites which contain Bis-phenol A in almost every single tooth, even after I told him before hand that I had poly cistic ovarian syndrome. Many direct and indirect composites have Bis-phenol A in them along with many other toxic ingredients. Some composites even have flouride in them, which I think are called the Fuji.

Now that I have these kind of white composites in almost every tooth, my stomach sticks out even farther and I'm alot more over weight. Its not from eating too much because I hardly eat anything. I was never hungery before I got my other toxic dental materials out and now that there out I'm never hungery, probably from the continuous constipation.

Any way, my suggestion is to find out what kind of white fillings you have. Call the Lab and tell them to fax you the Material safety data sheet. Also ask if they did the complete testing and then ask for the results. Ask if they did the ANSI and/or ISO complete testing on them. Unfortunately alot of Labs only have to do the minimal amount of testing by law called a, "pass". Unfortunately if a dental material is toxic you probably won't know all the ingredients of it or how toxic it may be.

On my Material safety data sheet it did say that my composites had Bis phenol A in them. Unfortunately I had to learn the hard way not to trust even a biological dentist that claimed that he was going to replace my toxic dental materials with safe ones. I was oviously lied to. I not only got more toxic materials but also Lingual and Inferior alveolar nerve damage from this dentist in Colorado Springs.

Please click to HOW TO RESPOND TO THOUGHS IN DOUBT, on this mercury section of the forum. Then scroll down to my 2nd POST by SCARLET. It will tell you what I found through my research that is probably the safest out of all the dental materials.

I also wanted to tell you that the liver breaks down food, breaks down hormones including estrogen, regulates thyroid function, detoxifies the body, and promotes the colon to move and contract. The liver has many life saving functions.

If the liver is overloaded with toxins like from amalgams, and other toxic dental materials it will become sluggish and not function properly. One of the livers function is to get rid of excess estrogen. If your toxic then it has a hard time doing this. My liver is in such bad shape from all the past toxic dental materials that I had all my life, and also from these new composites that it caused a serious case of jaundice. My skin is very yellow!!!

I have all the above problems worse now than before I got my amalgams and other heavy metals removed, although approximately 2/3 of my heavy metal toxicity illnessess are gone now that their out of my teeth. If it weren't for these toxic composites that are producing more estrogen than I had before, I probably wouldn't have any health problems at all right now.

Milk thistle and Dandelion root is excellent for the liver. Also beets and beet juice. there are also many other natural herbs and foods that are good for the liver as well. Read the book PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING, by James Balch M.D. and Phyliss Balch C.N.C. 3rd edition. It is the #1 natural health athority in America and is used in most healthfood stores as a reference. Its an excellent book!!! I believe that the information that I learned from this book is a big part of the reason I lived as long as I did even though I was sickly from toxic dental materials!

I hope this information will be helpful! Good luck!
