Mechanisms Documented by Which Mercury from Amalgam Dental
Fillings and Vaccinations is a Cause or Major Factor in Over 30 Chronic Health Conditions
1. Mercury
is the most toxic substance people commonly come in contact with and in
the top 3 of toxics causing large numbers of adverse health
effects. Dental amalgam is the largest source of mercury in
most people who have amalgam fillings or metal crowns over
amalgam. (19,20,22,11,1).
2. Over 4000 peer-reviewed or Government
studies have been compiled which document the mechanisms by
which mercury from amalgam fillings is released in significant amounts and
causes over 30 chronic health
conditions. (1,17,2-16)
3. Over 60,000
clinical cases of recovery or significant
improvement after amalgam replacement as followed and compiled by doctors have
been documented. (2,1)
4. A large epidemiological study, NHANES III, by the National
Institute for Health has found a significant correlation between several
chronic health conditions and having more than average number of dental amalgam
surfaces. (21)
The conditions for which mechanisms of causality were documented
and for which recoveries were documented include:
(a) autoimmune problems such as arthritis, MS, Lou
Gehrig’s Disease(ALS), Parkinson’s/ muscle
tremor, Alzheimer’s, muscular
& joint pain /fibromyalgia, chron’s disease, lupus, scleroderma, Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome(CFS), endometriosis
, diabetes (6,5,2,1,17)
(b) neurological and mood disorders including memory
disorders, depression , schizophrenia ,
insomnia, anger, anxiety & mental confusion, neuropathy/paresthesia,
tinnitus, dizziness/vertigo, headaches/ migraines, epilepsy, ADD,
dyslexia, learning disabilities, hearing
loss, (13,7,10,1,17,2)
© periodontal diseases such
as gingivitis, oral lichen planus, amalgam tattoos, metal mouth, halitosis, oral
keratosis(pre
cancer); (8,4,1,2)
(d) immune system conditions such
as allergies, asthma, multiple chemical
sensitivities, eczema, psoriasis, other skin conditions; cancer(breast,etc./ leukemia),susceptibility to infections,
antibiotic resistant infection, sinus
problems (5,6,7,1,2,17)
(e) cardiovascular
conditions including tachycardia, angina, arteriosclerosis, other heart
conditions, hypertension, and other blood
conditions (15,1,2,17)
(f) hormonal problems such
as hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, chronic chills, Hashimoto’s Disease,
alopecia/hair loss, urinary/ prostrate problems, (9,1,2,17)
(g) reproductive problems such
as infertility, reduced sperm counts, PMS, spontaneous abortions, birth
defects, children with learning disabilities and low IQ,
etc. (3,9,1,2,16,17)
(h) chronic eye conditions: inflammation/iritis/ astigmatism/myopia
/cataracts/macula degeneration , color
blindedness, vision disturbances,
etc. (1,2,17)
(i) stomach/digestive
problems including leaky gut, malabsorption of essential minerals and
essential fatty acids, blocked cellular enzymatic processes related to the
ATPASE energy function and sulfur
oxidation. (1,7,2,17,FS18)
(j) Allergies and Immune
Reactive Conditions: allergies, asthma,
eczema, diabetes, autism, etc. in children (5,7,18,1)
Large numbers of medical and clinical studies, hundreds of
thousands of tests by medical labs, Scientific Panels, and Government Agencies
have confirmed that amalgam dental fillings are the largest source of mercury
in most people(11,19,22,1). Studies have also
confirmed that other forms of mercury are methylated in the body to methyl
mercury by bacteria, etc. and amalgam is the largest source of methyl mercury
in most people, even more than fish (11). Studies have also
confirmed that exposures from amalgam are commonly more than the
EPA/ATSDR mercury health guidelines (11,19). The
reason for the high exposure levels from amalgam are mercury’s high volatility
that means it is constantly vaporizing, along with galvanic
electric currents caused by mixed
metals and EMF in the mouth that drive mercury and other metals into the
body. These are easily measured which has been widely
documented. (4,1)
Mercury’s
extreme cytotoxicity and neurotoxicity is
a major factor in the neurological conditions, along with its inhibition of
basic enzymatic cellular processes and effects on essential minerals and
nutrients in cells(1,FS18). Mercury is
also documented to cause imbalances in neurotransmitters related to mood
disorders(10,1,7,13). A direct mechanism involving
mercury’s inhibition of cellular enzymatic processes by binding with the
hydroxyl radical(SH) in amino acids appears to be a major part of the
connection to allergic/immune reactive conditions such as autism,
schizophrenia,
lupus, eczema and psoriasis, scleroderma, and allergies(5,7,1,17). Immune
reactivity to mercury has been documented by immune reactivity
tests to be a major factor in many of the autoimmune
conditions. (18,5,7,6,1,17)
The studies also document that
mercury from amalgam or other sources such as fish crosses a woman’s placenta
readily and accumulates to levels in the fetus at levels usually higher than in
the mother(3). And that mercury in the mother is transferred at
significant levels to a breast feeding infant. The fact that
children have been exposed to levels of highly toxic mercury thimerosal in
vaccinations well beyond Government health guidelines for mercury is also well
documented (7). Studies document that such mercury exposures can
cause developmental conditions and disorders such as autism, ADD, dyslexia,
learning disabilities, eczema,
etc. (3,7,16)
A large epidemiological study, NHANES III, by the National
Institute for Health has found a significant correlation between several
chronic health conditions and having more than average number of dental amalgam
surfaces. The conditions in which the number of dental amalgam surfaces were
most highly correlated with disease incidence were MS, epilepsy, migraines,
mental disorders, diseases of the nervous system, disorders of the thyroid
gland, cancer, and infectious diseases (21). Other conditions where
incidence was significantly correlated with having more than the average number
of amalgam surfaces are: diseases of the male and female genital tracts,
Disorders of the peripheral nervous system, Diseases of the respiratory system,
and Diseases of the genitourinary system (21).
There are extensive documented cases for which removal
of amalgam fillings led to cure or significant improvement of these serious
health problems. Over 60,000 such clinical cases are
compiled in the documentation as followed and compiled by
doctors. The over 60,000 cases of cure or significant
improvements were not isolated cases of cures; the clinical studies indicated a
large majority of most such type cases treated showed significant
improvement. (2,1)
