i know one who is in his 60s. he always said he was digging holes in his yard and going to bury me and no one would ever find me. he spoke of death so much that i bought him sinister things for haloween, like a cut off finger in a bottle and stuff. even his staff looked frightened of him
Hmmmmm.....definately sounds like mercury toxicity. There's nothing else it could be, right? I guess psychosis only occurs in people exposed to mercury.
This stuff is silly, pointless, and proves nothing.....just like the list of dentists I posted for Vulcanel. You guys are way to hung up on anecdotes and should focus on Science which is testable, measurable, and repeatable.
Have you even read that? That article is 95 pages of fish mercury and environmental mercury (the fact that the EPA authored it should have tipped you off). It makes no comment on the safety or danger of dental amalgams, other than "mercury is used in dental amalgam". Nobody disputes that mercury is toxic at high systemic doses. We're talking about inorganic dental amalgams here.
Please tell me your point with posting that article.
no, it answered your question. and, yes, i read it. my computer froze, so i did not get a chance to post the rest of it. i'll post it in a bit. it is not as easy to find as it once was a few years ago. in the meantime, here are peer-reviewed studies for you. so, now you have nothing to complain about:

Please tell me which page in the 95 page document answered my question relating dental Amalgams to disease. I guess I missed it.
Thank you for the other references. All that will take some time to sort through. And I also thank you for being more civil than some others on this forum.
i am not speaking of the 95 pages. i am speaking of the other peer reviewed studies that prove a causal link between mercury fillings and disease, that which you had asked for. yes, i thought it would take a while to go through
Why do they call them silver fillings when they have more silver than mercury?How many people would put them in their children's teeth if they called them hg fillings?
A large U.S. Centers for Disease Control study (Nhanes III Screenings) found that those with more amalgam fillings have significantly more chronic health problems, especially neurological problems ... Sorry, we had to truncate this message! ... Click here to read it
"A large U.S. Centers for Disease Control study (Nhanes III Screenings) found that those with more amalgam fillings have significantly more chronic health problems...."
...and probably more cavities (another chronic health problem)........which led to more fillings. Come'on you guys know better than that.
This is an excellent example of how association does not equal causality. It would be more helpful to know if the percentage of people with these chronic diseases with non-amalgam fillings is any different. This is called a control group.

The patients were referred to the department from primary and specialist care when all other causes of their ill health had been thoroughly excluded.

Anyway, because of my chronic illness which have stumped the doctors for 20 years, I have gotten my amalgams removed 4 days ago. I believe that everyone has a different tolerance to things, like some people can drink a lot of alcohol and smoke lots of cigarettes. I figured that my health deteriated in my teens and that is when I got the fillings. So why not get it removed? I am not missing them.
My doctor also considers that in the treatment of chronic illness and autism. He is in his seventies, and uses conventional and holistic practices to treat. He only takes extreme cases that other doctors couldn't treat. I figure he wouldn't keep that as a treatment if he hasn't had success with that in all his years of practice.
I'm sorry you've had such a hard time with your illness. That must be incredibly frustrating to go that long without relief. I hope things change for the better soon.
Does anyone here know how long it takes to get better after amalgams are removed?
"I figure he wouldn't keep that as a treatment if he hasn't had success with that in all his years of practice."
Of course, the same could be said for treatments offered by any dentists I suppose.
i started getting amazingly better by the next morning, no longer threw up anything. before that, i hadn't eaten for a couple days because for 2 weeks almost everything i ate came back up. i was on my way to commit suicide, but formy mother, decided to get an estimate for the amalgam removal. it was about $50,000 for all i needed in the US, so i had given up. within a couple days, i could sleep all night or whenever i was tired. before that, for 33 years, i had to stay up endless hours until exhausted in order to sleep. many times, i would be up over 20 or over 30 hours. plus, if i laid in bed, i hurt really bad and had to get up. after, i could lay in bed all day if i wanted, with no pain. i could go on, but you get the picture i assume. i dropped 20 lbs, walked 5 miles several times a week (before a half a block made me very tired), and ate tons of fast food all day long, all in the first month. i didn't plan on any of that, didn't know what to expect. i had nothing to lose, because i knew if i didn't improve, i could always kill myself. to be honest, i thought i was too far gone and that it may not help much, if at all. i hear similar things from patients all time about immediate improvements in health.
