Interesting Video about Mercury Fillings

This video is only 8 minutes long and most interesting, at least to me..

This site below is about breast cancer but talks about mercury as well as detoxing and has some great links:

I find that mercury fillings are the least of my troubles...most of my symptoms and problems began before I ever had any fillings. So I do not believe mercury fillings are a problem for everyone who has them. A Biological Dentist I went to also said the same thing - that not everyone has problems from the mercury fillings.

Hi all,

Lucky me, I wear dentures at least on top..  I have a couple of bottom teeth that are filled with mercury...

Razzle, from what I read, it is possible that the mercury could have been passed to you from your mother...  And the more I read, the more toxic mercury really is..

One part of this article state this:

Some reported symptoms of mercury poisoning follow:

1.One study reports depression, fatigue, insomnia, tremor, and loss of appetite are the most common sympto

2. Another study reported Mercury has been linked to cerebellar syndrome, hypertension, and myocardial failure [heart problems].

3. Perhaps the most obvious symptom of mercury toxicity in dental amalgam cases is Lichen in areas of mouth in contact with fillings. Goes away with mercury removal. How would you like Lichen in your mouth. Major Yuch!

4. Another reports diarrhea, eczema, muscle pain, headache.

5. Perhaps the most disturbing for us with MS, is many studies report CNS symptoms including memory loss, depression, psychosis, cognitive problems, motor coordination loss, etc. The motor loss lasts even ten years after exposure [ thermometer factory workers].

6. Mercury was used in Britain until 1955 as a deworming agent and dental teething agent for children. Children born after 1955 there report little Young's syndrome or pink disease, while it's frequent before then.

7. Mercury affects the immune system, including lowering IgG.  It easily crosses the blood brain barrier [BBB].

8. Amalgam filling removal has been shown to help arthritis, exercise induced asthma and MS. [I have both exercise induced asthma and exercise induced MS. They've both gotten better since I started using filtered water. Fluoride leaches Mercury from fillings.]

Mercury toxicity may be an obstacle in getting better.   As I wrote before, because I have minimal mercury in my mouth, I think this is one of the reasons why I responded to Dr. J's protocol so well..

Just something to think about..

oh, great! Now I have more thing to worry about! LOL

From hair analysis experience.  If you are truly mercury toxic (or even metal toxic), a hair analysis will not show heavy metals because the body holds on to them.  One of the doctor's I went to came into the room smiling because my hair analysis came back with no metals.  I told him he was wrong, that I was terribly mercury (and other metal) toxic.  We did a DMSA 24-hour urine challenge and the results were off the chart.    Also, yes, mercury can cross the placenta from mother to child.  I think what I read was "the mercury level in the fetus is in direct proportion to the number and size of fillings in the mother's teeth".    Unfortunately, I've spent a great deal of time reading about the mercury mess and to think, dentists are still putting amalgam in patients' teeth.  Hope this helps.

I know that I felt better after getting my dentures, although I just assumed it was because I no longer had any possible infection running around my body. My teeth never were strong & healthy - I had a good majority of my teeth with those amalgam fillings in them since I was a young child. Now I'm not so sure it was mainly infections that I was dealing with.

I thought amalgam removal would be the answer for me but I didn't see a big difference. I then tried 42 EDTA chelation, DMSA oral chelation and DMPS 11 IV pushes...still no big difference. Then came the removal of the root canal teeth, followed by 8 cavitation surgeries to repair the jawbone damage done by the root canals and extracted wisdom teeth. (of course, I had good insurance then....) In my case I'm finding out there has been the underlying lyme and whatever else. I'm hoping that once the lyme is sufficiently addressed, any hormonal imbalances halfway corrected, and vitamin/mineral deficiencies treated, that maybe my body will detox the mercury on its own. Could that be wishful thinking?
