Agreed. Right now I'm heavilay involved in trying to
finish some projects which thanks to Hurricane Katrina are
running almost a year behind. In about 1 more week
I should be caught up to the point where I'll be satisfied
enough to take a break and get the blood work done, but
also something I've been planning to do for a long time.
Get my frikken crumbling teeth taken care of.

I find it rather interesting that I haven't been to a dentist in
over 20 years and the only teeth that I am having any problems
with are the teeth that have supposedly been saved by dentists.
Every tooth in my mouth that was never touched by a dentist
is just fine.

If I had it to do over again, I would have never had any work
done on my teeth unless I had some severe problem that
without a doubt required action. As it is, I never ever had
a toothache or anything. In every case, I was informed by
dentists in the course of routine checkups that I had cavities
that needed to be fixed. In one case, the dentist yanked all 4
of my rear molars claiming that I'd be glad I did later on in life.
Well he couldn't have been more wrong. In fact, I'm really
sorry I let da' bastahd do it )`: I think he might have been
gouging the medicaid system in California, and I was young and
naive at the time.

Yeah, I guess that's right. I think stumbled on that story whilst
researching lead poisoning which is why I probably got it
mixed up with lead.

probably the reason, mercury is frikken toxic !!! :-)

They don't want you to eat fish more than twice a week,
yet everyday a person get's something like ten times the
amount from their amalgum fillings.

Metals block the neuro receptors in the brain.
One thing I've noticed since I've been self
chelating, is that it no longer seems to take
as much coffee to get the lead out of my ass
(pun intended) in the morning.
