won't try to relate this to CH
but before you let your dentist replace your mercury/silver fillings - at great cost to you -
do some more research
it is my understanding (from my dentist, who also teaches at Tufts dental college) that the theory about toxic fillings has been completely discredited
AND if a dentist tries to talk you into it he is violating specific ethical canons, if not the law
the topic came up in our family because some young dentist tried to pull it on my mother-in-law, who is a sharp, able bright late 70s lady - with 50 year old fillings in perfect condition
SHE checked with a couple dentists at the University Medical School the family is affiliated with and they said exactly what my dentist did
SO -
DO YOUR HOMEWORK
as far as this being the cause of CH ...
