Summary Statement : Mercury is a deadly neurological poison.

Details : Mercury is a deadly neurological poison. This information has been know for decades and any toxicology text should cover some of the known symptoms caused by mercury poisoning including dementia, nerve damage, and emotional problems. The World Health Organization as well as numerous scientists have publicly admitted that the dominant source of mercury in the human body comes from silver amalgam dental fillings. All silver fillings, generally referred to as "amalgams", are manufactured to contain 50-52% mercury. This is still the dominant filling material being used by most dentists in the United States, even though some other countries, having looked at all the research, have banned the use of this material in dentistry. The U.S. still has its head in the sand regarding mercury in dentistry although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been researching mercury for years and condemning its use in all industries except the health care industry. Mercury has been eliminated from paint (it was there to reduce mildew) and from many other products including mercury electrical switches. We are constantly being warned about the mercury levels in fish and yet the dominant source, our amalgam fillings, rarely get any attention. Numerous vaccination still contain "Thimerosol" as a preservative and this is an extremely potent form of mercury. I am adding this area to my web site in order to give my readers some important information regarding this toxic poison and to help you decide what to do about it. Please be kind to your dentist and other health professionals who have been taught lies regarding the safety of amalgam fillings. These professionals are simply telling you their beliefs and they do not realize these beliefs have been proven wrong for over two decades. Refer them to the International Association for Oral Medicine and Toxicology or the research published by Murray, Vimy, Haley and others on amalgam toxicity. Also please read and suggest the books Uninformed Consent by Huggins and Levy, Elements of Danger by Walker and Root Canal Cover-up Exposed by Meinig.

PLEASE NOTE: If you should decide, after further investigation on your part, to have your own fillings changed in order to remove the mercury that is leaking into your body 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, BE ADVISED of three EXTREMELY IMPORTANT pieces of information. First- that if the removal is not done correctly, by a properly trained mercury free dentist, you will release far more mercury into your body than you would if you leave them in your mouth. Second- that unless a compatibility test is done to determine what materials are best suited to you, the replacement fillings might have other chemicals that are also very toxic to your body. Third- that removing the silver amalgam filings simply turns off the mercury faucet in your mouth. Almost all of the mercury that has been going into your body since the day the first silver filling was placed by a dentist, is still there. The research shows that it is now bound to tissues in your brain, kidneys, liver and a number of other areas from where it is slowly poisoning your body. The mercury will remain there, doing its damage, unless you locate a properly trained professional to begin helping your body to slowly get it out. When done correctly, this removal process (chelating) takes from one to three years for the soft tissues and an additional 5-7 years to remove these substances from the skeletal system (our bones). If you stop after a couple of years, although you have certainly system (our bones). If you stop after a couple of years, although you have certainly done a lot of good, the metals will now slowly leach out of your bones and into all the tissues again as they reach what is referred to as a new (lower total) homeostasis. Take a look at the chart below regarding health related symptoms and their relation to dental fillings that was published in the March 1993 issue of the Bio-Probe newsletter.
