I keep reading here about the alledged horrible health
results of the mercury in amalgam fillings, yet I've
experenced none of those problems despite having some
fillings of this very same kind dating back over four
decades (I know they're not supposed to last that long, but
they have), with the most recent one eight years ago, & the
rest somewhere in between. I have only one porcelein filling
in my whole mouth.
I've also have three crowns, which necessitated drilling out
very old fillings.
In the end, I've happily co-existed with mucho amalgam
fillings for over 55 years. Is my body just "less sensitive"
to mercury whatever than other people's? I doubt it would be
less sensitive to say arsenic poisoning...I probably have a
great immune system, but not that great. Yet from reading
these threads & comments, amalgam dental fillings seem only
one step below slow arsenic poisoning on the "danger" scale.
So, why not me?
P.S. I don't chew gum, but I do drink hot liquids.
