Your diet is healthy, you stretch and exercise what else might you need to look at if you want to detox your body? Open your mouth and say a-a-h. Do you have any mercury fillings in your mouth? Moms against Mercury recently won against the FDA regarding the safety of amalgams. They will now have to at least admit that they are not totally safe.
FDA now states, for example:
“Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects
on the nervous systems of developing children and fetus.” “Pregnant
women and persons who may have a health condition that makes them
more sensitive to mercury exposure, including individuals with
existing high levels of mercury bioburden, should not avoid seeking
dental care, but should discuss options with their health practitioner.”

How scary! In addition to all the other potentially toxic substances we must avoid letting into our body, I now may run the risk of health complications because of fillings.
Thanks for sharing this info. So are dentists using alternative materials for fillings now? If so, I will be the first to ask for them.
Hi Savvy,
There are dentists that offer what they term mercury free or holistic dentistry, one just has to make sure that is what they really practice.
