That assumes that you buy into the theory that there actually ARE such
toxins and that they have any bad effect upon the body. If your filling
actually caused a deeply rooted infection that is still going on, that
needs to be taken care of, of course. And I certainly don't mean to
suggest that I believe that traditional medicine knows EVERYTHING there is
to know about every possible illness. But I would sure look to them before
I took up with quacks and patent-medicine show hoakum.
