R: Re: Mercury

[Guest guest]

Hi Jackie, I had the teeth with fillings pulled. There was no holistic dentist

near me and that was the type of dentist that I wanted to see. I had cavities

under the 30 year old fillings and too much of my teeth was damaged because of

it. It made sense to pull them instead of replacing the fillings. I was

already going through a lot at the time and money was a consideration as well.

I did not feel immediate relief and I thought that I would. But, five years

later I haven't gotten worse. I've gotten better. How much that had to do with

getting the mercury out of my mouth I can't provide documented evidence. I am

glad I did it. Why take the chance with a known poison in your mouth?

as contact lens solutions during the 80's and early 90's, and some women's

makeup items. Some ear and nose drops. Eating lots of tuna or other high mercury

fish. Your mother having a lot of mercury fillings in her mouth when she was

pregnant with you. Being exposed to mercury from broken thermometers or

fluorescent light bulbs. Mercury has been used as a preservative in paints to

prevent mold. It used to be used in dentures to provide the pink color.

Antiseptics like mercurochrome or merthiolate (very popular when I was growing

up.) Lots of industrial applications. And lots of kids liked to get hold of

liquid mercury and play with it.....

fillings.)
