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.
(19,20,11,1).
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(11,19,1).
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 where 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)
