Dear Ken:

Have always told you that you are one of my favorite people in the world, I want you to remember that when you read the rest of this note and hope that you take it in the light I intend it.

FYI I did NOT have my teeth removed, but went to a different biological dentists, from the original one, (whom I like very much) name Gerry Smith. He is "out there" according to most people, but I trust him implicitly, and frankly he is a genius who saved my teeth and my health. He has a web site if you are ever interested in reading something quite different ... www.icnr.com

A little history ... I had been sick with many things most of my life ... Allergies as a small child, asthma, bronchitis, half of my mouth had fillings by the age of 7, first filling at 3 or 4. In my twenties I had endometriosis ... So painful that I landed in the hospital MANY months during the middle of the night because it felt as though someone was hitting me with a hammer. Dr. Gallagher (also attended COS) did surgery and it got better, but never completely went away.

Frankly all of my doctors said it was a miracle I got pregnant with Justin! I believe both boys were miracles, because I am now in Menopause and can no longer get pregnant. It happened both for genetic reasons (several aunts and grandmother in menopause late thirties, early forties), and because of my being an athlete ... Body fat too low and estrogen especially lives in adipose fat tissue, of which I have little according to the docs. Also having been a lifter for 20+ years didn't help the cause any, so I am on major natural hormone replacement, including estrogen, which I swore I'd never take.

I had sinus/nose surgery in my thirties and had 32 recurring sinus infections over a period of about 2-3 years. The surgery corrected some, but not all of the problem.

All of my life I have felt as though something was wrong with me and never knew what it was. The last few years it had been so bad I really couldn't stand it anymore. Contrary to popular opinion, I didn't have all the energy in the world and often got sick and went down for the count.

Now for the science -- via multiple methods -- urine, stool, blood and hair testing, I had TOXIC levels of mercury - on all four tests, including plasma when it is a known fact that mercury (and lead) do not reside in plasma. My mercury count in my RBC the first time was past the range of acceptable - 19 on a range that goes from 0 to 16. I began Chelation therapy two years ago and concurrently most of my fillings were removed... generally because of root canals, bridges, etc. Unbeknownst to me, I had one remaining... under the gold crown, which you put on almost two years ago. As it turns out, even ONE amalgam is enough to make someone sick and in my case because I had such toxic levels, it did.

I had that gold crown removed some months ago and a new crown put on that is made of a material that is biocompatible with my body (I know this sounds a bit out there to you, but please humor me). Under the crown was a significant amount of mercury, which Dr. Smith removed.

Along with the crown, Dr. Smith did a filling on one of my teeth in the front - not canines, but two teeth over. He is quite the artist. More importantly, HE ADJUSTED ABOUT 10 OF MY TEETH FOR MY BITE AND MOUTH.

You probably don't know this because I don't remember telling you ... I have had significant pain in my cheeks and what I thought were my sinuses for the last 22 years. After Dr. Smith adjusted these teeth over a period of months, the PAIN IS COMPLETELY GONE and has never come back. Turns out the teeth that were out of whack were causing major problems in my face, head and neck, all of which have abated.

In the meantime Dr. Smith did some other very unusual things that I won't go into because I was in excruciating pain from some of my teeth ... which you checked a few times and so did my Endodontist. Turns out they were abscessed, which showed on the x-ray Dr. R took. I also had one tooth that continued to bleed (you may remember I called from Florida because it was swollen and bleeding at will and I was in much Pain).

That tooth had a significant abscess and a few other things in the cavitations. I learned that removing the teeth would not cause the cavitations to be healed and that stopped me from getting them removed in the first place.

I also used a machine, which likely you'd find "out there" called a RIFE machine that emits frequencies at the same level as pathogens and explodes them. I had so many things in my cavitations and was so sick that I had to use the machine every other day for many months and still use it a few times a week to kill the pathogens.

My mercury level last week was down to 7. It has taken two years to get it down from 19 and it still has a way to go before it is zero. I use Chelation EVERY day, which is very expensive but necessary.

Did you know that the offload of a mother's mercury crosses the placental barrier to the unborn fetus? I didn't until recently. "Uninformed Consent" written by an MD PHD and a DDS/JD was very informative, along with four other books and about 15 research papers from the leading journals around the world on MERCURY TOXICITY. It is in the fish we eat with few exceptions, the fruit and vegetables we buy, vaginal birth control methods ... I could go on.

BOTH of my sons had toxic levels of mercury in their hair, blood, stool and urine and I've no doubt it came from me. MANY children we test ... in fact 90% have either lead and or mercury poisoning which causes behavior problems. Justin is like a different child since chelating him, and he STILL has more mercury in his system than he should. It will take another year or two to get him "clean" of it.

Did you know mercury is 10x more toxic than lead... particularly deadly in a child. They are now banning and reformulating children's vaccines that have thimerosal as the base because they are wondering (I'm convinced) that it is harmful to children.

I know there are dentists who do not know or believe that mercury is harmful. THEY ARE WRONG. James (J.M's husband is an MD) has proven it, as have many other scientists I've now met. I also do not doubt that mercury from my amalgams suppressed my immune system for years, and caused any number of my health problems, which have since lessened or gone away.

I am telling you all of this in the hope that you might be open to learning about mercury and its dangers, and saving someone else from some of the problems I've had. Initially I was very angry over the suffering I did because of the amalgam fillings, now I realize it was a matter of lack of education and exposure. I thank God every day for the doctor that I met at the anti-aging conference who said, "you need to get to a biological dentist and get that metal out of your mouth, it is killing your immune system." He was a complete stranger - known worldwide for his research and speaking on anti-aging medicine, who started me on the road to good health.

You will always remain one of my favorite people and I know we'll see each other forever in heaven. Please do not be angry for my telling you all this, it is with the best of intentions that I spent this time.

Fondly yours,
J.M.
