Dr. Tony B loves stories like these :-) I was recently traveling on business
and Chicago O'hare airport. with a couple of hours to kill I had a couple of
beers at the bar and shooting the breeze with patrons. Ends up that the guy
next to me was an ER physycian who had been diagnosed with Amyloid Spondylosis.
He was flying in to Tampa to see a "super-specialist" in that area. They had
also found high levels of systemic mercury. He was not a big seafood lover at
all but, he had a mouth full of amalgam and decided to do some independant
research. Summary: paraphrasing: "Through all of my education it is widely
believed that amalgam is harmless and those who say otherwise are quacks. In my
vast research of global findings, I am finding just the opposite more often
than not". He also said something along the lines; "for the most part, the only
publications that back it being harmless are dental journals"
I just smiled and said welcome to my world.
Moral: Keep an open mind, do the needed research, and come to your own
conclusion.
