We are left with only two methods of diagnosing dental metal caused illness that appear logical, supported by the objective facts. Process of elimination. When all other potential causes have been eliminated, then the teeth at long last become suspect. If you have mercury dental fillings, you have mercury exposure. You don't need hair, urine or blood studies to determine that you are exposed to mercury- just count your fillings in the mirror.
All dental metals release small amounts of their metal in the mouth under normal conditions.
Mercury amalgams are reliably exposing the person to mercury on a near constant basis - the more amalgam surfaces, the greater the exposure. You are immune exposed to all the dental metals in your mouth. However, that alone doesn't mean you are immune sensitized to any of the metals. People ultimately act on faith and hope to remove their mercury dental fillings when following a process of elimination. Melisa is the only objective test in our awareness that provides direct evidence for illness caused by dental metals.
