Mary Aspinwall, Ojai, CaliforniaWhen I was six weeks old my parents went to live in the tropics. I had to have all sorts of very nasty vaccinations when I was just four weeks old. These were preserved with mercury. By the time I was four I had lots of holes in my teeth that were filled with amalgam (mercury fillings) and I got more and more of these as life went on. I was plagued continually by septic tonsils that were treated with repeated antibiotics. My health went from bad to worse. Full Story... |

Joe Novak, Mentor, Ohio About 17 years ago I had a severe case of shakes, shivers, tremors, and numbness. The three doctors at Cleveland Clinic could not find a cause. One neurologist said I did not have Parkinsons and the family doctor said I had a "viral whiplash." My holistic doctor determined, after several tests, that I was mercury toxic. After removal of all my amalgams and replaced with composites along with DMSA treatments I felt like a human being again. Over the years, I am sure mercury would leach into the brain. I have been used as a testimonial for others regarding mercury amalgams. At 83, I am grateful to my holistic doctor and biologic dentist. The public should be aware how detrimental and devastating mercury is. |

Susan Lehman, Portland, OregonIn 1984, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This was after having experienced optic neuritis as well as a number of occurrences of other neurological problems (numbness in my arms &/or legs). For the next 6 years, I had many exacerbations of the disease...sometimes leaving me unable to walk &/or use my arms. In 1990, I convinced my dentist to remove all my mercury fillings. Many fillings originated from the dentistry I had as a child in the '60's. Since their removal, I have not had any more reoccurrences of MS symptoms. Otherwise, I am certain that I would be severely incapacitated & wheelchair bound by now. |

Dudley Smith, Wootton, Bedfordshire, EnglandFrom late 2006 I embarked on a course of dental treatment which involved drilling out old mercury amalgam fillings in order to fit some bridges. On my last appointment the dentist was drilling away at my teeth and my mouth filled up with waste as he did not have a dental nurse in the surgery sucking the waste from my mouth, and before I had a chance to spit the waste out, I swallowed half the stuff. In May/June 07 I started to feel very unwell – A lump in my throat, fast heart beat and general anxiety symptoms, this has now got progressively worse and I now suffer from shaking muscles when moving any muscle group in my body.

Peggy Wells, Wayesboro, VAI went to my dentist to discuss the possibility that my miscarriages were due to my mouth full of mercury. He was noticeably uncomfortable and insistent that mercury fillings were safe. While he would not take them out because of medical reasons, he did offer to take them out for cosmetic reasons (which meant I had to pay for it out of pocket.) I had them out immediately and within three months was pregnant with my second child. We had three more children after her without problems. Full Story... |

Torrie Crocker, San Diego, CAI grew up in Sheridan Oregon, moving to McMinnville in 1994. At age 4, my parents began taking me to the dentist and I received my first mercury amalgam fillings. They called them silver fillings. Of course, my parents thought they were getting me the best dental care possible. Shortly after, I began having problems. I could not sleep at bedtime, would lay awake for many hours into the night, finally falling asleep in the wee hours and could not awake until noon. Full Story... |

Virginia Pritchett, Mineral Wells, Texas Virginia's story was featured in the August 2005 issue of Womens Health and Fitness In 1979, at 22 years of age, I had begun to experience unexplained gastrointestinal disorders that doctors attributed to stress. Sometimes I couldn't keep food down. I had become allergic to foods, chemicals, and other substances that I was never allergic to before. I had difficulty fighting off infections as my immune system was dangerously weakened. Full Story... |
