Friend in Need - adult amalgums

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have a adult friend who has had to manage her symptom list for a very long

time. Thyroid, adrenals, anemia, celiac disease, you name it. She looks very

thin.

I hadn't seen her in a while, but caught up with her again recently and it all

started to hit me ... she's got mercury! So, I asked her and sure enough she

said she's full of amalgums. She's about 50 years old.

I advised her to get a hair test from Doctor's Data and I'd help her get the

resources to analyze it. But, then, she got nervous and said ... if I have to

have my amalgums replaced, it could be dangerous! And, my insurance ... I have

BC/BS and TriCare (secondary, thru the service). She thinks it won't be covered.

Anyone have hopeful words (really, helpful facts are preferred) that I can pass

on to her regarding these 2 issues ... finding a doc who can replace the

amalgums safely and also takes her type of insurance?

She has no PC, so I am asking on her behalf.

Thanks!

She can find a dentist at http://iaomt.org/. They should follow stricter

guidelines on removing the amalgam fillings. After finding a list of dentists,

she could then call them to see if any of them take her insurance, or you could

look them up on her insurance website. Also, not everything may be covered by

insurance. For me, the removal process was not covered, but the new fillings

were.
