A
Few Scientific Facts About Mercury, Amalgams, and Disease
-
Mercury is released out of every "silver" filling (amalgam) immediately
upon implantation and continues to release from the open
surface of the filling in vapor/gas form.
-
Some released mercury can even migrate (retrograde) up
the nerve axion and directly into the brain.
-
No safe level of mercury has ever been found. The EPA's standard
is now: .02 micrograms of mercury per cubic meter of air
[extremely low]. The FDA does not even have a standard of how
much is too much. If they did and it were as low as the EPA, no
one could ever have another amalgam.
-
Every "silver" filling implanted in the teeth contains
43% - 55% pure elemental mercury.
-
Scanning electron micrographs show thousands of spheres of
raw/liquid elemental mercury on the surface of polished
amalgams (which can then offgas into your mouth and/or get into the
food you eat.)
-
Scientific documentation has demonstrated that there is an absorption
rate of 80% or more of
inhaled mercury vapor.
-
Latest scientific facts from autopsies show the number of amalgam
fillings in the mouth correlates with the amount of mercury found in
the brain tissue, pituitary, thyroid adrenal glands and kidneys.
Also, found were lesions on the brain and in the spinal column
where discs were literally fused together from the mercury
[joint pain--maybe??].
-
Science has well documented that mercury causes various metabolic
physiological changes in living tissue and organs,
including SUPPRESSION OF THE IMMUNE FUNCTION.
-
Science has documented the uptake of inhaled mercury vapor into every
organ of the human body.
-
Science has shown that chronic exposure to minute doses of mercury
will cause an accumulation of mercury to occur during the
life-time of the organism. This is due to the slow rate of
elimination of mercury from the body.
-
Mercury and its various compounds cross the placental membrane in
concentrated measure and are taken up by the embryo and fetus.
There is evidence that the fetal brain levels of mercury are 30%
greater than maternal blood levels of mercury.
-
Significant quantities of mercury can be passed to the nursing child
through the mother's milk.
-
Mercury can produce diseases of insideous onset which may be delayed
as much as 20 years from initial exposure. (body threshold is the
key)
-
High levels of mercury are found in the brains of alzheimer's
victims, and mercury has been shown to cause brain lesions
indistinguishable from hallmark alzheimer's pathology (tubulin
aggregation and neuro-fibril tangles).[See the website: www.iaomt.org for
irrefutable visual video proof = checkmate.]
-
Autopsies of dentists and dental assistants showed an
increase of 800% (8x) over the control level of mercury in
the pituitary gland.
-
90% of dentists tested on perceptual motor skill and
neuro-cognative standardized tests experienced serious tremors and 30%
suffered mental-neuro problems, such as short term memory loss or
lack of concentration.
Definition
& Symptoms of (Chronic) Mercury Poisoning / Toxicity
Dorland's
Medical Dictionary: "Mercury Poisoning: acute/chronic disease caused by
mercury and its salts... The chronic form, due to absorption by the skin and
mucous membranes, inhalation of vapors, or ingestion of mercury salts, is
marked by stomatitis, metallic taste in the mouth, a blue line along the
border of the gum, sore hypertrophied gums that bleed easily, loosening of
the teeth, erethism (that is psychological disturbances/Mad Hatter's
Disease), secretion o saliva, termors and incoordination." Micro-mercurialism
has NO does-response relationship (minute dose may cause life-threatening
response).
The
Merck Manual says: Mercury Poisoning: Chronic Symptoms: Gingivitis, Mental
Distrubances and Neurological Deficits. For an Inhaled Poison (vapor):
remove patient from contaminated environment and protect helpers. [We
dentists, were NOT taught to protect ourselves or others from the
ravages of mercury vapor poisoning. Indeed, we were taught that the mercury
is "locked into" the filling--would that it were!]

If
you see a pattern of symptoms, please consider mercury as a possible cause.
“In
ALL cases of SUSPECTED mercury poisoning, treatment begins with IMMEDIATE
TERMINATION of EXPOSURE. In some cases the symptoms of mercury exposure are
reversible when exposure is eliminated.” Journal American Dental
Association, December 1987. (Authors: P. L. Phan and Hoos)
