I agree.  The show didn't prove anything.  We do need to case by case. 
The element I object is with the actual position of the CDA and ADA, 
which is that it is "unprofessional" to recommend removal of mercury on 
the basis of suspected links to a specific individual's chronic health 
problems.  There is no recognized test for mercury sensitivity, so there 
is no way of finding out if it's caus9ng a problem without removing it. 
(There are testw for supposed mercury "allergy" but it is debatable as to 
whether one can be allergic to a non-protein, and these tests do not 
identify systemic sensitivities.  
Time and experience is my best argument.
