What happens is that as the amalgam breaks down it releases elemental mercury into the body and causes a ton of bad things. I just completed the overhaul of my mouth using a dentist that used good isolation techniques to preclude an O/D of amalgam being ingested during this conversion from amalgam to passive porcelain and for the back molars, gold. The whole thing was reasonably costed out and I then went through about 3 months of strange symptoms. My ND concluded that I was slowly detoxing from the accumulated mercury. I have been using oral chelation agents to ensure the removal of the mercury in a tidy way. Hope this helps. Oh yes, there is a dentist named Huggins or Hutchins or something like that in the area of Colorado who is being persecuted for his being the lead whistle blower re: amalgam. I am sure there is some solid stuff on the internet regarding this subject.
