If you look at the protocol for NDF, you'll see that treatment includes 
analysis of urine samples which show mercury coming out of the body.
If you are really picky, you can pay for encephalograms, which show 
improvement in brain function.

No rumours.

In comparison, Cutler's method seems to need _faith_ that the treatment will 
not cause severe problems.

Surprising  that paleo approach (herbs) is so quickly abandoned in favour of 
modern (chemical) medicine.

Same here, except the pregnancies. :)
Nourishment for teeth requires more than calcium, magnesium as well IIRC, 
probably more, and these are common deficiencies, mostly caused IMHO by lack 
of healthy gut bacteria needed to convert food into absorbable nutrients.

I've read that "porcelain" contains  aluminum, another biological poison. And 
also a brain poison. Does anyone know if this is true?

From Weston A. Price to Hal Huggins, the best  advice is to ALWAYS get rid of 
root canal teeth. You have a proven source of real problems there. Dead 
things rot, and that tooth is dead.

How much soil-based bacteria do we get? This is probably the transient 
bacteria needed for proper mineralization. I once tried the soil-based 
probiotic capsules sold by Dr. Constance Tracy-Taylor 
(http://www.stairwaytohealth.com/) and produced the most splendid turds ever, 
a sign of good intestinal health.

If we don't eat enough dirt are we really eating paleo?

I did it on my own and so had no access to urinalysis, therefore no idea if I  
removed all the mercury.
