Stories from Injured Consumers
Peggy Wells, Wayesboro, VA
I went to my dentist to discuss the possibility that my miscarriages were due to my mouth full of mercury.  He was noticeably uncomfortable and insistent that mercury fillings were safe. While he would not take them out because of medical reasons, he did offer to take them out for cosmetic reasons (which meant I had to pay for it out of pocket.)  I had them out immediately and within three months was pregnant with my second child.  We had three more children after her without problems.

I grew up in Sheridan Oregon, moving to McMinnville in 1994. At age 4, my parents began taking me to the dentist and I received my first mercury amalgam fillings. They called them silver fillings.

I had received a toxic overload of mercury in January, 1999 when my dentist drilled out two old fillings to be replaced with crowns. Full Story at Hope and Healing Web site...

In 1979, at 22 years of age, I had begun to experience unexplained gastrointestinal disorders that doctors attributed to stress. Sometimes I couldn't keep food down. I had become allergic to foods, chemicals, and other substances that I was never allergic to before. I had difficulty fighting off infections as my immune system was dangerously weakened.
