> Okay years ago I heard similar things about the mercury at the time had great dental coverage 75% for white crowns so replaced most fillings with the crowns what makes up the white crowns? No one was concerned at the time and I felt well then. Reason I don't now and did then also when a kid no novacaine as parents couldn't afford it the dentist would give me a ball of mercury to play with shouldn't something of happened playing with mercury? Guess should take selenium used to when into shaklee. Love Jan
Metal, ceramic -- its an extensive processhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_crown
White crowns sound like ceramic. I can't believe they would have covered the "unnecessary" removal of mercury fillings just because -- crowns are done when fillings are not enough.
Yikes... playing with a ball of mercury... well in those days they didn't know enough about potential problems of mercury absorption and vapors, it was rather common to find mercury balls in creeks where mining was done.
When I was in elementary school we had a chemistry guy come in and somehow mercury (we're talking a very tiny ball) got loose and the grade room was closed for a day while the men in space suits sucked out the air in the room. Overkill, but definitely different than what used to be very common in the old days.
Shaklee ?
Selenium is actually a toxic semi-metal. Its use, just like chromium in humans is very small (you get all the chromium you really need from stainless steel flatware wearout). It supposedly helps men restore some hair (along with zinc). I have taken it before for that purpose, cant say that it did anything.
Hydrogen selenide is a very toxic gas and if you can smell its garlic smell you'd better run.
