| Mercury Dangers The following are scientific facts prepared by the International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (www.iaomt.org). A more complete discussion with scientific references can be found at http://www.toxicteeth.org/Fact Sheet2006.pdf
We have for some considerable time become interested and concerned about the 'Mercury Amalgam' issue. Many people have metals in the mouth, including dental amalgam fillings, which can contain as much as 50% mercury. For many years it was thought that mercury was locked into fillings and could not escape. Now it has been established beyond doubt that mercury is released from fillings 24 hours a day, in the form of vapour-the most toxic form, which is readily absorbed by the body. In an official statement which is posted on the American Federal and Drug Administration website, it was admitted that mercury-containing dental fillings "may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous system of developing children and foetuses" Prof. Drasch's research at the University of Munich shows a direct correlation between mercury in the bodies of dead foetuses and still born children, and the amount of fillings the mother has. (The German Health Ministry now recommends no amalgam for women of reproductive age.Research has shown that mercury can cross the placenta http://www.foresight-preconception.org.uk/booklet_healthproguide.htm In susceptible individuals, mercury has been shown to be a potential contributory factor in many medical conditions such as Neurological, Immunological, Endocrine, Renal and Gastric illnesses, and infertility. Scientists have shown that trace amounts of mercury can cause the type of damage to nerves that is characteristic of the damage found in Alzheimer's disease. The level of mercury exposure used in the test was well below those levels found in many humans with mercury/silver amalgam dental fillings. The research conducted at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine found that exposure to mercury caused the formation of "neurofibrillar tangles", which are one of the two diagnostic markers for Alzheimer's disease. Renal Kidney function can be severely impaired very quickly (50% in thirty days) Considering the yearly rise in kidney disease and the number of patients on dialysis, this research is of considerable importance. Gastric Intestinal flora can be significantly altered and other bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. This is of concern in post-operative complications. Mercury is associated with numerous health problems including the following. You'll see a significant overlap with candida because mercury and candida are frequently found together. Allergies Alopecia Alzheimer's Disease Angina Anxiety Arteriosclerosis Attention Deficit Disorder Autism Autoimmune Responses Bad temper Birth Defects Bloating Cancer Candidiasis Cataracts Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ M.E. Chron's Disease Depression Diabetes Digestive problems Dizziness Dyslexia Eczema Excessive Drooling Fibromyalgia Gum Problems Hypertension Hypothyroidism Impaired Kidney Function Increased Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics Insomnia Irregular heartbeat Lack of Concentration Lack of Energy Leaky Gut Syndrome Liver Dysfunction Loss of hearing Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) Lupus Macular Degeneration Metallic Taste Migraines/HeadachesMultiple Sclerosis Multitudinous Mental Disorders Myopia Numbness Parkinson's Disease Pink Disease (Acrodynia) Poor Lymphatic Drainage (e.g. Tonsillitis, Oedema) Psoriasis Recurrent Suicidal Thoughts Schizophrenia Scleroderma Seizure Disorder (Epilepsy) Skin Problems Sinus problems Sore Throat Tachycardia Thyroid Problems Tremors Ulcers and Sores inthe Mouth Urinary problems |
