Amalgam Mercury

Important information on the dangers of mercury amalgam tooth feelings

The "silver" fillings in your teeth - Dental Amalgams - are still widely used by the dental profession in most parts of the world. The "Amalgam" consists of a mix of metals - Generally 50% Mercury, 35% Silver, 15% Tin & other metals. But is it safe to put so much Mercury, the most toxic non-radioactive metal known to man, into the mouth of a person? There is now a growing body of evidence that it is NOT safe to do so. Some countries, like Sweden, Canada and Germany, have either banned or imposed serious limitations on Amalgam usage. There is now compelling evidence from reputable scientific bodies (such as the World Health Organisation) that, despite claims from pro-amalgam bodies such as the American and British Dental Associations (ADA/BDA), Mercury is NOT "locked" safely in the metal bonds in the teeth, but can leak slowly into the body, possibly causing or contributing to severe illnesses. A 1991 W.H.O study indicates Amalgam to be the main source of Mercury exposure for humans. The range of ailments that have been linked (directly or indirectly) to low-level Mercury poisoning include ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), Alzheimers Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and a whole range of "auto-immune" illnesses. In fact, just by damaging the human immune system, Amalgam could be contributing to an even broader range of illnesses. Want to find out more?
