Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Hi Donna, I hope that you will allow yourself to grieve....so important. Tears heal, let them flow, my heart goes out to you. Love, Lilla Thanks--it has been tough. I think if I could just cry it would help. Maybe I'm in denial, if I cry that would mean I have to accept my sister's death as real. I " know " she's gone, but it doesn't " feel " real.... I sometimes feel guilty about that. I'm working on it. Donna --- Lilla Luoma --- lillabell@...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Gawd, how awful, I've read bad things about these darned amalgams before and its distressing when you don't have any insurance! Have any of you had these things removed/replaced? Wondering what it costs, oh I have many in my 47 year old mouth, darn it all!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Mine cost a fortune - @ $1000 for each crown, part of which was covered by insurance. Regular fillings were covered by my insurance as they were spaced out. i have a few more to do as they deteriorate. Make sure that the dentist follows strict removal procedures - mine has special ventilation, respirators for himself and his assistant, oxygen mask for me and lots of special suction. don't do too much at one time - the mercury load is too much for you and i took oral chelating agents before, during and after. Also do not have the usual plastics used for the restorations - they leach carcinogens - esp for breast and probably prostate cancers. I could look up the special compound they used - low ??? ceramic, I believe. i did a lot of research at the time. See websites on Biological dentistry for more info. My suggestion is to take them out as needed - don't get carried away. Perhaps have a hair analysisto see if you have a high level of mercury.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Also what helps is a big rink of water. Water is full of oxygen (H2O- of course) which makes it one of the most under-rated energy boosts! -----Original Message----- Taz wrote: > Depression and fatigue are such a trap - you don't have the energy or motivation to do what you know will make you feel > better! I am fighting this though, the real motivation is that I do want to feel better (and lose about 30 pounds). Whenever I don't feel like working out because I'm tired, I always remind myself of the endorphin rush. I ALWAYS feel better when I am done, even if I didn't feel great when I got started.

Even if you had insurance I'm sure that they would not pay for removal and replacement of perfectly good fillings. (read sarcasm here).

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 Do it gradually as needed - " they " do not know what needed to be replaced and when - it is up to yoiur dentist to say Re: Re: Anxiety Problems (Type O-Secretor) Lilla Luoma wrote: > Gawd, how awful, I've read bad things about these darned amalgams before > and its distressing when you don't have any insurance!
