Thanks for your replies!

Simone I appreciate your encouragement... Everyone seems to be of the opinion that IBS is very treatable homeopathically.

I am interested in the mercury/amalgam theory. As a matter of fact I have MAJOR problems with my teeth. I have been having fillings from the age of 4 years!!

Only recently I changed to an amalgam free dentist. He is great and very patient.

My last dentist refused to treat me any more with white fillings he said that with my teeth being so weak and poor the only fillings that would hold were mercury amalgum.

He also said that I had to start using flouride toothpaste as well.

I know that these weak and crumbly teeth are an expression of a miasm (not sure which right now).

I have been told to take Calc. flour tissue salts now and again to help with the crumbling enamel.

By the way the new dentist tells me that sometimes the amalgum fillings can set of a chemical reaction in the mouth that causes more decay.

One more thing, when I ahd a cold recently I took merc. for a while. Of course, being me, I read up about it! John Wallace recommended it for IBS.

Thanks
Deb
