		<description>Thanks Kate and Sharon for your comments. Sharon, excuse my ignorance, but what is EAV? I'll check out whether there are any biological dentists in my area. I'm aware there are some dentists who are more aware of natural health than others but I looked it up on google once and there were none in Tasmania. I'll also google Natural Cellular Defense and Dr Hal Huggins' book and see what I can learn. 
Ceramic fillings might be the go Kate, I'll look into it.
God, it's annoying to think that these people wrecked our teeth and jeopardised our health (and charged us a packet for it) when a good diet could have helped our teeth heal naturally! I'm so glad I can at least feed my son a diet which should prevent a whole lot of dental work. He's 14 and so far no decay!</description>

		<description>Robyn,

I have gold fillings myself since that's all I could tolerate at the time.  I have myself tested using EAV by a doctor who was very experienced with dental work.   Her husband was a dentist.  She had samples of various filling material and also the glue that they use to keep the crowns in place.  Gold was okay but I was allergic to the glue used for the ceramic crowns.   These days there is also zirconium which is very hard and electrically neutral like gold and that would be my first choice if I had to have it done again.

There's no such thing as a safe level of mercury.  Have you seen the smoking tooth video?  Google it, if not.  It shows the mercury vapor inside the mouth from a filling.  Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive substance on earth.  Depending on how sensitive you are, you may be able to tolerate it for many years without a problem. Just because a person has no current symptoms doesn't mean they won't get them later.   For some odd reason, mercury is fine and legal to put in the mouth but it requires special disposal when taken out of the mouth!

While plastic is not ideal, it's better than mercury and works best for small fillings on the sides of the teeth versus the molars.  It can last for many years.  Please, see a biological dentist and read It's All in Your Head first by Dr. Hal Huggins who pretty much pioneered  safe dentistry.  Don't ask me to explain this but he's got evidence that it is very bad for a person to have major dental work done on both sides of the mouth within 21 days, so do one side first.  I did mine in four sessions, every 3 months.  First I had the amalgam replaced with temporary fillings and then had the crowns done last.  This allowed for the body to detoxify somewhat.  You NEVER want two kinds of metal in the mouth at the same time.  It creates a "battery-like" effect in the brain.

Do what you can, as you can afford it.  I always recommend to take the Natural Cellular Defense before removal to reduce the body burden of toxins before the drilling starts and releases more.  I wish this had been around before I had mine done.  See my post above regarding that.

All the best to you and don't worry about it too much.  Worry is sickening!</description>

		<description>Personally I wouldn't get plastic fillings. And I wouldn't replace mercury with plastic, I agree that mercury is much more stable once in place. Research ceramic. You want the one where they make a mould of the cavity. It's expensive but seem the least toxic option.</description>

		<description>I have amalgam fillings also and have been gradually replacing them with the white ones, however, I have heard that the white ones are some kind of plastic and you are just replacing one evil for another. Does anyone know anything more about this? I'm not sure what to do now. Oh, also my husband's dentist told him that the amalgam fillings develop some kind of hardness or hard coating (can't remember exactly) and if they are old fillings they are quite stable. I've  been wondering if having the fillings out will release mercury into your system during your dental procedure. I'm also wondering what other alternatives to the white plastic fillings there are. My dad had gold fillings (many, many years ago), are they still an option (expensive, no doubt!).
Oh, also apparantly, the white fillings aren't nearly as strong. I know I had one that I had replaced three times before finally having a crown instead.</description>

		<description>Sharon,
Thanks for the info, will be looking up detoxqueen.com.  Will be getting my amalgams out two at a time over a period of 6 weeks.  They are small ones, so my body won't be overloaded.
Cheers,
Karen.</description>

		<description>the following is nonsense -- Some believe Depleted Uranium is a major contributor to the diabetes epidemic in Saudi Arabia. Uraniaum toxicity is also believed to be linked to Gulf War syndrome. Source, are Depleted Uranium ’smart’ bombs, mining and nuclear power stations.

Some -- Leuren K Moret - on the anti-DU crusade/9/11 Truth rubber chicken circuits -- take a look at the following about the difference between activism and education - pushing this kind of mumbo jumbo is activism and junk science - depleted uranium does not cause diabetes and there probably is no diabetes epidemic in Saudi Arabia - there also are no "depleted uranium smart bombs" - DU was used to kill tanks by penetrators fired out of the barrels of guns, tank guns and aircraft guns - the tank guns were fired in Saudi Arabia before the Gulf War - to get the gunners used to using DU ammunition that they had never fired before - it was fired into sand berms in the middle of nowhere - it hardly would have any effect on the people in any of the populated areas of the country.  Don't spread junk science, get your facts straight -- 

Now how do we stop supporting the war? Good question.

(the war has not used DU since the run on Baghdad in 2003 - there has not been an enemy tank to shoot at since and DU is pretty ineffective against anything else -- it even pretty much passed through the few Bradley Fighting Vehicles (light tank/armored personnel carrier) that were hit by friendly fire which unfortunately killed more than a few good men - but most of those Bradleys were able to keep on driving.  Even less of an effect would be noticed if you fired at a car or truck since they have no armor at all.)  The anti-DU crusade loves your thinking that being against DU is being anti-Iraq War, but they are 5 years out of date -- I really doubt that DU has been fired anywhere since 2003 just because there have been no targets to fire at.  It is a very specialized bullet - very effective against tanks, designed to stop the expected Soviet Bloc hordes at the start of WW-III as those hordes sped across the North German Plain at the Fulda Gap - it worked as advertised, destroying 1000s of Soviet made Iraqi tanks.  Saddam needed to make America out to be bigger ogre than he was and get rid of this potent weapon so he invited some prominent peace activists with no real scientific education or background and fed them a lot of BS about how bad DU was making it for Iraqis - it has been an exceptionally effective propaganda campaign still going by regurgitation on the net by knownothing lemmings on an almost daily basis and no real new information about toxicity since 1993.  On the other hand, there has been massive research and it has found that DU does not harm people or the environment.  See the IAEA report from Kuwait and the UNEP report from Boznia-Herzegovina.


Environmental Education Materials: Guidelines for Excellence

"Things to think about...

As educators on environmental topics, we sometimes walk a fine line between education and advocacy - a line that we can cross without even being aware of it. Education involves giving students access to information, opinions, and interpretations so they can develop their own conclusions. This may require the presentation of information, data, or views with which the instructor does not agree or that the instructor would rather not acknowledge. Advocacy involves giving students access to information with the intent that students reach a specific conclusion or hold a particular opinion. 

An educational curriculum must present different viewpoints, such as the pros and cons of forest fires. Different perspectives also need to be presented in a balanced way - one that does not bias the student toward any one perspective. It is important to understand that, depending on their personal interpretations of information, reasonable people can hold different but equally valid views. In addition, environmental issues affect people differently; some of the consequences of a decision or action might be invisible to someone who is not aware of or open to the opinions or experiences of others. 

Although it is important to maintain balance in presentation, it is also important that educators be aware of the relevance, timeliness, and accuracy of the information they provide. An instructor looking at possible curriculum may sift through large amounts of information to determine the material's relevance and accuracy. Questions asked might include: 

Is this information current?
How much of this is based on the writer's subjective opinion, rather than research or fact?
Is the writer trying to influence me with the choice of words used?
Are these primary sources of information, or did the writer dilute or edit someone else's work?


These questions can help indicate if and how the material should be used, what supplemental materials might be needed to help balance the presentation, and what extra tools or skills the students might need to understand or make sense of the information."
