silver fillings with no mercury???

[Guest guest]

I have a friend who has a mouth full of " silver " fillings. she is

only 30 and has various significant health issues so i asked her if

she would like to take a hair test (the one where they look at many

different minerals - the one the andy cutler hair test book is about).

She agreed to take the test and it came back overwhelmingly positive

for mercury. i mean she passed like 3 of the four tests or something

like that and some of them by a very wide margin. so i told her about

the results and that it was from the mercury in her fillings. Just a

few days ago, she went to a dentist and asked him about her " mercury

fillings " and he said " oh, those aren't mercury, those are silver " .

So that made her think that they were not an issue. My feeling is

that the dentist probably just wanted to put her at ease and ignore

the issue. Is it possible that her fillings are just silver, with no

mercury? and is it possible that he could tell that was the case with

all of them, just by looking?

Also, she can't afford to do anything about them and she needs to very

badly in my opinion - is there any kind of financial aid she could

apply for?
