        Advice to the wise:

        have all your mercury fillings removed.

        I know many who have...myself included and have had a return to health.

        The mercury is a a slow nuerological destroyer.

          Advise to the consumer: IF the use of Mercury is something that concerns you, then find a dentist that does not use it. Simple!
