What are your thoughts on mercury (amalgam) teeth fillings? [View All]

I'm just curious because when I was in high school, I had some major health problems that resembled chronic fatigue syndrom or fibromyalgia. I had headaches every day of my life for about 5 years, was always extremely tired, had sore throats at least once a week, and had no energy. I saw tons of doctors and specialists and no one ever figured out what was wrong. It has gotten better in recent years but only because I just this week had the last of my old mercury (amalgam) fillings replaced with the natural colored ceramic ones. I actually switched dentists because my old dentist was nearly fanatical about them being "totally harmless."

I just got a newsletter from our local peace group, and they are having a film and discussion about the dangers of amalgam fillings this week. How do you all feel about this issue?
