Keep up the fight.  I emailed you back a while ago.  The Canadian dentists
haven't been using mercury since about 2000.  My dentist told me that they
have to wrap it up in special containers and send them to a toxic waste
place, but at the same time it's still ok for the American Dentist's to put
it in your mouth......sounds kinda funny to me.  I had one of my fillings
extracted today, after a root canal, 4 fillings left to go.   I hear you're
only supposed to do one at a time........lotsa fun.......anyway, have a
good XMAS...good luck with your crusade..........plenty of people on your
side.............
