I see that there is already a post about amalgams and the dangers from long term mercury poisoning. I think that anyone who has had CFS for a long time and has a quantity of tooth fillings - I have around 8 and have had them for decades, should read Andy Cutlers book.
IT is in some ways a very technical read but very authoritive, as the man is a bio chemist with extensive knowledge on the subject. What interested me was that the list of symptoms listed in the book for chronic mercury poisoning were exactly what I have suffered over the years -especially the constant 'Brain Fog', difficulty concentrating, feverishness, digestive dissorders etc.
The book can be got by searching for Andy Cutler, or noamalgams. It is only $40 which includes P+P, and came to me about a week after purchase.
I am now talking to my doctor, and planning with my dentist to get them removed. THis will take me about a year, and then one has to use a chelation procedure to get the mercury out of the rest of your body. Kind regards Archer.:)
