Could you explain this? As I mentioned, I do not know of a test for mercury senstivity that is reliable. That is why I feel consumers should be advised of the possibility, and allowed to make up their own minds. If the doctor or dentist involved is threatened by the consumer being thusly empowered, he or she should be relieved of his/her involvement, and sent on a course in basic business practice and professional ethics. There is only one way I know of of determining if mercury is causing a systemic problem: remove the mercury and see if there is an improvement. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!163!113!Chris.Brown Internet: Chris.Brown@f113.n163.z1.fidonet.org
