This doesn't necessarily mean anything for any individual, but blood tests show pretty much everyone with high levels of mercury and lead.  Lead was from the additives in gasoline that were sprayed all over us for years and haven't gone away yet, and in paint as well, and now in toys and who knows what, and mercury in fish and from coal plants.  So it isn't necessarily coming from fillings.  And if none of us had mercury fillings, we'd still have these high blood levels.  It's a mess out there, sports fans.

And also, as I think I mentioned in another post, I have alot of mercury, lead ....etc found in my blood test and hair analysis, but it was never mentioned if I had MCS. The doc also said I was allergic to several foods, yet I never felt or noticed any reaction to these foods. I found that strange because i know some people will get congested after eating a food they are allergic to or immediately get itchy or a rash, but I never noticed any reaction after eating something. Maybe these foods would only affect my mood? dunno, but that particular doctor who tested me told me if she eats icecream, she has a terrible mood swing which causes her to have a bad temper. So she has to avoid icecream. I found that interesting.

I like mercola's site too. Only one time did I read something that was really totally off. I can't remember who wrote the piece, it wasn't mercola, but someone else - whether this guy was a doctor or some other "expert" he invited to offer his info,,,,but anyway this man wrote about hcv and he was totally off the wall from what I recall and I was shocked that mercola didn't do his own research into this virus to be able to see this guy was nutso in his claims about hcv.

But other than that, I find a majority of the stuff on mercola's site is pretty good. But I had a hard time getting past what he allowed to be written on his site about hcv.

I have bought things from his site and was satisfied with everything. I even bought that tanning bed to try to keep my vitamin D level up in the winter months. He gave a good pitch for that thing and I bought hook, line and sinker, but actually its a good tanning bed, it does work well (hangs over the back of the door).

I believe I've seen this before on mercola.com.  He had a link to this.  I agree, and this convinces me, too.  And, I already have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).  Dr. Mercola talked about his own experience.  He got very sick from the mercury at one point himself, and he is a very healthy person, too!

When you get a minute, take a look at the video. This is what really convinced me.

I don't know about that - it seems the filling emit fumes when you even chew food or even gum. But I can understand what your dentist says, removing them could be a problem if its not done properly, but I tend to believe that they are always emitting some kind of fume.
