Toxicity in my mouth
My apologies for my lack of presence here. AND for my lack of cheer today. Gloominess I fore warn. I usually read my buddies blogs and I have just felt anit-social. I REALLY really hope that you all are doing well and accomplishing your goals, THOUGH as I noted on a news segment this AM, it might be really reasonable to hope to maintain during the holiday season. For those who are losing in a healthy way, I say, “way to go!”
I have not been ideal in my head and in my body, but some encouraging things are happening. I have an allergy test scheduled this month and this Friday I begin the process of having 2/3 of my mercury fillings removed. The last one will be removed when my mouth is good to go. They have been in my mouth for 20 years and the time for them to be removed is NOW. Well they should have never been there but that is not a good way to think I suppose. What a nasty substance in my mouth!!! It is strange that mercury has to be disposed of gingerly with precise protocal, yet for years dentists gave it with no thought to what it might mean. F**k! I have no idea if this is my problem, but I do not even want to wait to have a mercury toxicity test done. IT NEEDS TO BE OUT OF MY BODY. Then the process of some detox to safely rid my body of the mercury that is certainly there. I refuse to obsess about this. That is why I called my dentist first thing and am doing something positive.
My immune system has for my adult life not been ideal. Lately in mind and body, I have not wanted to be me. Well I really want change so I thank my body for telling me with old and new symptoms. Maybe the New Year can begin cheery. I am a little hopeful.
I paste these sites only because if you have immune system issues and you are exposed to highish levels of mercury (we all are living on this planet, so some) you might consider reading and researching more.

Jenn, I’ve been feeling a little hermit-y with from this dang weather. Thanks for posting the sites about mercury, I’ve been considering having my fillings removed also.
good luck with all those fillings! i talked to my dentist about it a few years ago and she wasn’t so worried (she wasn’t the one who put them in originally). she said the levels are low - but i hear you and i have often wondered. are you doing silicone or porcelain for replacements? i sure do hope that relieves some immune probs for you! send me a bslim email with your real email and i can write you back off bslim about veggie questions. can only write on blogs here but not email…so odd!
as to the mood, you know it comes and goes, yes? i have learned that and become more comfortable with that reality. this to shall pass fits me more now.
Nothing posts for me “big sigh” watch for my e-mail Jennifer
HA…check your folder Jennifer, there must be loads of comments there from me LOL!!!
Thanks for the comment hun! And good luck with getting your fillings removed, hope it makes you feel better!!!
Oh Jen, same problem here. It also pisses me off the fact dentists in my country still use this nasty thing… I have a LOOOT fillings and am sure most of them are of mercury. My dentist wasn’t so worried about it too, by the way.
Don’t worry about that feelings, right now I don’t feel so social either. It’s normal, you’re going tru this and you really worry about your health so mood swings are normal.
Don’t worry, better late than never as we say here. Am sure everything will be ok.
Yay!!!!! I finally can post in your blog again!!!
