>Hi to all,
>
>I wish to express gratitude to Jan for making me aware of Dental issues.
>I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis and have done so since 1994. Having this
>degenerative disease has forced changes on my lifestyle to a great extent
>since not being able to tolerate the medications that are often prescribed,
>My Doctor and Rheumatologist recommended that I find alternatives to
>medications which is why I frequent this Ng as well as others.
>Well I am happy to report that since early 1999  have I have not had to
>endure the agony of the previous five years and continue to make
>improvement.  One of the major improvements was the taking of CMO (Cetyl
>Myristoleate)
>I found that this "Alternative" returned my knees to normal and allowed me
>to continue working.
>The matter of Dental Health was also addressed during the past year and I,
>with consent of my Dentist, changed over a three month period. the majority
>of my fillings to what is called "Composites"
>
>I am happy to report that since that change that my feet and hands have
>improved noticeably and that I  suffer  less with the morning stiffness so
>often associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
>I still maintain mercury fillings however they have been reduced by over 50%
>WITH THE DENTAL CHANGES.
>Strangely other people that I correspond with have also noted an improvement
>in their well being since changing their amalgams to composites.
>
>So a sincere "Thank you Jan" for making me look at the issues regarding
>Dental Health. Believe me I have implemented these things "Aussie" Style
>and have enjoyed the benefit despite the "she'll be right" attitude of my
>Dentist. (Amalgam flying everywhere)
>
>Deniece and I are to shortly visit Canada and the US during the next eight
>weeks and I am most thankful of being able to make this trip, due to
>improved health.
>
>Incidentally I won the trip in a competition and it included the Canadian
>Rockies tour as well as the Alaskan cruise. Wow! so we extend it all to
>include Hawaii , North West USA and Hong Kong.
>
>So good things still happen which makes it all so much worthwhile.
>
>Many thanks Jan,
>
>Sincerely, Rod

>Jan - don't let them get you down.  You never know how many people you
>reach who don't say anything.
>You are so right - amalgams and root canals.  The cancer of
>dentistry.  Keep up the good work.  My
>compliments to you on your even tempered and thorough response.  Some
>people just don't want to
>learn because they know they will have to radically change their dental
>practice if they are convinced
>of the error of their ways.  And some people like bbb just scream about
>anything.  They will never learn.
>But others will - and you are reaching them.

>Good Work!
>=============================

>I have read a lot of your postings with great interest.  From other sources
>on
>the internet that I read, what you say is correct.  I am 58 years and have
>had
>4 root canals and about 6 crowns done on my teeth.  Now, one of the root
>canal/crowns is flaring up with an infection at the tip of the root.  First
>time in my life, something like this has happened.
>
>At my age, my teeth have started cracking.  In light of what has been
>researched and written, I see no reason to continue on with modern dentistry.
>
>I will get the tooth pulled.  The idea is to not have any more root canals or
>crowns.  Just start pulling and in the years ahead, get false teeth.  When I
>run out of enough natural teeth.
>
>You were very brave to do your postings on the internet.  I commend you for
>them.

>I am a well educated, reasonable person, with a background in

>Re: Rich's postings - it is possible that some of Jan's improvement

>Re: Joel - this guy is an idiot. His posts do nothing for the credibility

>All he does is post stupid articles and one-liners - what a dolt !

>So Jan, keep up the good work, fight the good fight. Time will prove

>> Lance,

>> Kudos to you for trying to argue with this crowd.  Last year I posted
>> some questions here and was promptly attacked by the usual suspects.  I
>> was surprised by their nastiness for a while, but a dentist I met at the
>> chelation clinic explained how scared the dentists are regarding this
>> issue.  Essentially those who attack you have one single objective:
>> cover their gluteus max.  They know they will be sued the hell out of
>> them soon, and are trying their obnoxious best to delay the inevitable.
>>
>> I had 17-year slow downward spiral that was only stopped last year by
>> taking out amalgam fillings and going through chelation therapy.  Only
>> now, after over a year of treatment, I feel physically well enough to do
>> some garden work and mentally well enough to work on math (current
>> study: stochastic differential equations).  Short-term memory is also
>> recovering and I don't feel like I am living in the Twilight Zone
>> episodes anymore.
>>
>> Don't let these bozos annoy you, they just cannot help being themselves
>> when it comes their wallet.

>P.S. And of course Kudos to Jan Drew.  She did more service to

>Hi Jan

>Ive been reading some of your posts on alternative med support and now the

>didn't wish to be harassed by the dentists here.

>This one I received recently.

>The people on the NG seem very hostile.  Chances are my dentist is dead, so
