Lots of luck convincing anyone on these threads. There's been a noticeable shift toward the anti-medical, bordering on quack theories that I've noted here since the whole Terri Schiavo mess. The site seemed to attract people who were so single-minded as to believe a single quack with a theory rather than accumulated research. (Hammesfahr in the case of Schiavo).

For sake of your sanity I recommend you also stay away from vaccine threads, autism threads, and mercury threads in particular. My husband (another dentist) has learned that clicking on them is bad for the digestion, LOL.

Thanks for the information. I realize this forum can not explain decades of research, especially to those with an agenda to sell fear. Fear is a powerful motivator that causes reasonable people to commit unreasonable acts. Somewhere in the Good Book we are reminded that the spirit of fear is not of the Lord. I have seen intelligent people die rather than accept medical treatment because some greedy person wrote a negative book about US medicine. I have no dog in this fight with other posters , only those that use the spirit of fear to sell their books. Once again, thank you.
