Well... I can't change people's opinions on amalgam theories, they're not based by any accredited dental organization, people have had "meter readings" done by non FDA approved devices, and even have had their fillings pulled out which actually causes -more- mercury to be released in the body.
The amalgam prevents more cavities from happening than the plastic, though I've had both. Yes, I can be made fearful about amalgams but the truth is that if I don't have them on some cavities, I'm much more susceptible to disease than epoxy. An amalgam is just that, two metals permanently held in place, an alloy.So I stand by that you're more likely to get mercury toxicity by eating certain fish or fish oil.
And this is also can be causation without correlation. We don't really know about the newsbites of aluminum and Alzheimer's. Aluminum is the third most abundant element and the most abundant metal on this planet and is present in traces in sand, definately a part of clay, mica, and other base rocks.
The same thing goes for lead, silver contains 1% lead typically on this planet, and traces of mercury can be found in a lot of places.
Blood tests for cortisol, even when given several hours apart are not as reliable as a 24 hour urine test. This averages the changes over the day.
Nonetheless, yes, blood tests are given in some circumstances at 8 and 4pm apart, but there are reasons for both tests and I would suspect if there is anything amiss with the blood test a urine test would be ordered.
