Julie Falco needs Dental Work

Donation protected
I am Julie Falco. Since age 11, I have had mercury dental fillings (known by the misnomer of "silver" fillings). Mercury is the main component of “silver” or amalgam fillings. Once in the human body, mercury acts as a neurotoxin, interfering with the brain and nervous system.

During the first several years of life, a child's brain is still developing and rapidly absorbing nutrients. Many people that get mercury poisoning develop neurological deficits.

I think neurotoxic mercury has been leaching into my bloodstream over many years, possibly contributing to living with multiple sclerosis for the last 30 years.

In a recent ruling on the subject, the FDA “concludes that existing data indicate that certain individuals with a pre-existing hypersensitivity or allergy to mercury may be at risk for adverse health effects from mercury vapor released from dental amalgam.”

Recently, I had a heavy metal test done by two independent labs and found mercury levels off the chart at 43. A safe level of mercury in the human body is a 4. While I don't have conclusive evidence of mercury and MS correlation other than the symptom similarities, I think it's still a good idea to remove any toxins that may be affecting my system.

Since unable to safely access last dentist office and searching for another, I haven't been able to keep up on the work I started, and haven't had dental work in a few years.

Medicare or Medicaid does not cover any dental maintenance or work. One tooth was $2000 out of pocket, to fill and crown. I have no more pocket. Not even one of those little pockets you have in a pair of jeans, what are those for anyway? To save any teeth.

I've been saying for years if I could regain even an ounce of strength and mobility by removing this heavy metal, it would be worth it. I will be very grateful if anyone sees this request and responds.

I hate to ask but I could really use a little help. Check your sofa for spare change. 

Thank you and Happy New Year
