Mold Avoiders Poll Results: Dental Amalgams

 

 

This poll was conducted in the Mold Avoiders Facebook group in March 2017.

The question and results were as follows:

This poll is designed to start to get a sense of whether having dental amalgams (containing mercury) has an effect on the ability of people to recover from chronic illness through mold avoidance and other healing therapies. Please count as having amalgams only the silver-colored fillings containing substantial amounts of mercury. Do not count white-colored composite fillings or gold fillings/crowns as being amalgams. Please count one or more amalgams as ‘having amalgams.’
