   How in the world did you manage to find a dentist like that? He sounds wonderful. Everyone I’ve ever been to just said, “Nah, mercury’s not a problem because it’s amalgamated into other metals,” or something like that.

   Don’t believe the hype about plain water – it really isn’t very good for you. For one thing you’re body doesn’t absorb it very well because there’s no food content for it grab hold of, and for another, plain water tends to leach minerals from your system. You’re better off drinking herbal teas, or putting a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice to your water. If you don’t like lemon, try lime as it tends to make the water taste “fresh” not limey.

   thanks kelly, thanks about the water, I don’t drink it, that much, still, really I can’t stand trying, it’s so very thirst CREATING for me, always has been. So … I was talking about it since the info from the dentist was about that as well, drink, drink, drink for a hydrated body which equals “on the way to healthy” … but my experimentations with it in the past and my current trial of trying to drink SOME everyday puts me squarely in the “I haven’t gone even a half-year long in drinking water every day” … which means, most all my life I haven’t drunk hardly any water every single day, and am alive. 🙂 When “they” all say you will die from dehydration otherwise. Ha.

   As for finding the dentist, there is a website that I have to get the address for from my hubby. I’ll post it here later when I can access it.

   From the reading I’ve done online it’s very scary about mercury, what it can do to a body. Some people are MORE bothered by it than others. I am one that is very sensitive to many things, and I figure this is just another one to add to the list, probably. I mean, I had the mouth mercury testing, which if it’s an accurate test is scary compared to what the dentist told me about EPA and OSHA standards. Literally that mercury just plainly lingering in my mouth, being swallowed every time I chew, or just swallow anything.

   Online stuff talks of how it gets into the brain and is difficult to get out of the brain. It gets into the organs of the body, but can be detoxed or chelated out “easily” comparatively to brain mercury chelation … like it might be more and more difficult for every year older a person is. So for me, it might be harder or too hard or impossible to fully get it out, if it’s there, and I don’t know how far I’ll be able to go into finding that out. Ugh.

   Also, in the literature I’ve gotten there is ADA info about amalgam fillings and mercury and they support removing, with full disclosure to patients about it all, informed consent allowing them to keep the fillings, but supporting taking them out, not that it will help every person for sure, but CAN help them. That sort of thing. It’s more than that, but strange that it’s hard to find a mercury-free dentist still.

   My new dentist said also that for years it was said that dentists were the most healthy people, but that things weren’t considered and this mercury thing is really a big deal, they get constant exposure when they use almalgam fillings, and lots of them still do apparently.

   Lots of symptoms are seemingly related to mercury, your basic over sensitive types of things, and allergies, migraines, and other personality disorder sorts of things, and insomnia and on and on. Whether or not this is true, it’s interesting to me, since I can attest to having many of the bad symptoms on the list. 😮

   So then, I’ll find that resource for dentists and post it as a comment here asap, tomorrow, Wednesday, that is. Thanks again for the encouragement!
