The enemy within

How many of you have reclined in that comfy chair while your friendly dentist pokes and prods your molars? Then comes the drill, the mini vacuum cleaner and then the filler to patch up the hole. "Rinse, please," and it's all over - or so you believe.

Did you stop to ask what was in the filling compound? Mostly we just mumble 'thank you' through numb lips and head home. If you did enquire, did your dentist tell you that he had just implanted one of the most toxic metals - mercury - into your mouth and that it would steadily poison your vital organs for the lifetime of the filling?

Enter 'dental amalgam' into Google to see what I'm rattling on about.

Those of you who have been following this blog will know that I'm on a journey of discovery following the diagnosis of 'irregularities' in my prostate. The urologists in Greece and England, the MRI scan of my pelvic area and liver, and the decision to be taken about surgical or holistic (or a combination of both) teatment routes. One step along the way has been a visit to a holistic dentist, who revealed the 'amalgam conspiracy' that has kept most the dental profession in business for decades.

I have about six amalgam fillings quietly carrying out their deadly work. Not only do they seep the poison, but they create elctrolytic activity in the head far in excess of the brain's normal levels. I'll leave you to guess at the possible consequences of that. A simple test with a voltmeter on my fillings revealed enough activity to 'light a small torch bulb'.

So, my next step is to get the amalgam out and replaced with a more user-friendly filling. Watch this space . . .
