If my health and time permits, I could attend the FDA public meetings on Mercury in September with not too much effort. Of course, I have some time to make the decision, but I can't decide whether it's even worth the effort to go. After years of working in "Washington" I've become jaded and am wondering whether this will be, yet another, whitewash.

I have finished Round I of my total dental restoration -- I had 17 amalgams removed last week. I go for Round II next week for 2 tooth extractions and some final work.

I'm finding that since having my amalgams out -- although it's only been a week -- I must be gaining more energy. Because now I'm getting quite angry about this entire issue. Resentful and livid at times. Angry with ADA, FDA, individual States, dentists who use the poison, doctors who ignore the poison, angry with myself for not realizing this problem sooner .... you name it. So, I reckon I must be feeling better to actually have the energy to muster up some anger. Prior to amalgam removal, I did not have the energy to be angry.

Russ .... Laura........ anyone....... do ya think it's even worth trying to attend to get a first-hand look at the circus?
