Dear Mr. Adjodha, 

I wanted to share my experience with mercury amalgam fillings with 
someone
who may be able to help the general public. I received my first filling 
at
age 10, after which I began to have problems focusing, breathing, and
concetrating. As I received more fillings through my early teen years, 
I had
trouble with fatigue and shortness of breath, mood swings and 
depression. By
the time I was 15 years old I had about 14 amalgam fillings. I did not 
know
that they contained mercury until I was 32 years old. At which time my
health had deteriorated. I did not have energy like many others my age. 
I
had aches, pains, shortness of breath, burning lungs, depression, mood
swings, cold hands and feet, anemia, hypoglycemia, the list goes on. In
short, for a young person I felt sick all the time. After realizing 
that I
had literally a hazmat waste facility in my mouth, it became obvious 
what
the cause of my ill health was. IT cost me a fortune to have these 
fillings
removed. However, the benefits to my health were obvious immediately
following the removal.  I know that many people who stand to make 
profit
from amalgams or fear lawsuit, claim that they are not harmful. That 
these
fillings do not leak at all or very little amounts. I am living proof
contrary to that. There are thousands of us who can feel a difference 
when
we don't eat and breath mercury. 



Within hours our my removal, the burning pain in my lungs was gone, my
vision was clearer, my chronic dry mouth was gone. Within days, I 
regained
warmth in my hands and feet, something I had not had in years. My 
bleeding
gums are gone. I no longer have clenching teeth, jaw and face pain,
nightmares and host of other symptoms. 



So while I know that many beleive mercury is ok to put in humans, there 
is
tons of science that says otherwise, and thousand of people who can 
vouch
for the truth. I being one of them. I would have thought it was a crazy 
idea
myself if I had not lived it. The sad things is that many children have
these fillings and will suffer life long damage from them. Many 
pregnant
women are swallowing mercury and breathing mercury from their fillings, 
and
what is that doing to their babies? This is a needless dental material 
in
the day and age of composites. Composites are far better in terms of 
dental
restoration and preservation of a tooth. It is sad that other humans 
insist
on making money by poisoning their fellow man. Please read the science 
on
mercury amalgam fillings. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
J M
