 The American Dental Association, no surprise, continues to insist that mercury fillings are completely safe, despite all the evidence showing that mercury fillings create mercury vapor.
Some forward-thinking dentists, however, are spearheading a movement to ban mercury fillings. The International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology (www.IAOMT.com), for example, offers a shocking video called "Smoking Teeth" that clearly shows mercury vapor off-gassing from mercury fillings, even with minimal stimulation (like chewing or tooth brushing). How much mercury? |

 I call mercury fillings part of the "dark ages" of modern dentistry. Today, more and more dentists are realizing, "Hey, maybe this highly toxic metal doesn't belong in the human body." At the same time, dental clients are increasingly realizing they need to get that mercury removed, because as you chew and breathe, some of that mercury is being ingested by your digestive tract or inhaled into your lungs. Little by little, those mercury fillings disappear out of your teeth. Where do they go? Right into your body.
So people want to get those mercury fillings removed. |

 Ban aspartame, water fluoridation and mercury fillings
You probably know the stories on aspartame, fluoride and mercury fillings by now. These are known toxic substances that are not only toxic to the humans who consume them but also to the environment. mercury fillings, for example, currently release 34 metric tons of toxic mercury into the environment each year. That's about as much as all the coal plants in a sizeable nation, yet the EPA pretends mercury fillings have no environmental impact whatsoever.
Aspartame, too, is a known toxic substance that's well documented as a neurotoxin. |

So people want to get those mercury fillings removed. There have been some amazing testimonials to the kind of health recoveries people have experienced once they remove mercury from their mouths. Some people have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, for example, and then had their symptoms completely vanish within 30 days of removing all the mercury in their mouth. Mercury is also known to promote Alzheimer's disease, dementia and other nervous system disorders. |

| Better yet, seek out a "natural" dentist who won't use mercury fillings or highly toxic fluoride, and who will turn to surgery as a last resort rather than a "standard procedure." Don't be tricked into unnecessary (and medically dangerous) surgical procedures that can only cause you harm.

| And thus, like most practitioners of conventional medicine, dentists subscribe to a near-religious belief in several health-related falsehoods.
The mercury fillings issue is one of the most outrageous. Dentists don't even call them "mercury" fillings anymore, because the public has finally figured out that mercury is toxic. So they call them "silver" fillings, but they're still made of approximately 40% mercury. Once this mercury is placed in a person's mouth, it begins to break down, off-gassing mercury vapor that's inhaled with every breath. |

The mercury from this vapor quickly travels to the kidneys, liver, intestines, heart, brain and other organs. The science is irrefutable, but most dentists aren't interested in real science, it turns out. |
| They just want to be able to continue using mercury fillings based on the ADA-accepted consensus lie that mercury is somehow inert and never leaves fillings.
The great wisdom teeth removal scam
I'm one of those rare persons who still has all his wisdom teeth. This gives me more teeth than most people, and I have yet to meet a dentist (other than a natural health dentist) who didn't immediately suggest surgery to remove them. Dentists' desire to remove wisdom teeth is entirely irrational. |

 The question of whether mercury fillings represent a health risk to humans has been heatedly debated. Although disagreements persist, we do not believe that the continued use of mercury fillings is justifiable, considering that many other materials are available in modern dentistry. Whether people should have their old mercury amalgams removed is another question. We have seen some patients in whom an autoimmune disease or other serious illness improved dramatically after their mercury fillings were replaced with other materials. |

 Thanks to the continued promotion of mercury fillings by the American Dental Association and conventional dentists, consumers continue to be poisoned by this heavy metal that's intentionally placed into their mouths. There's so much mercury currently being put into the mouths of humans that the total volume of mercury being dumped into the environment from mercury fillings is nearly equal to that emitted by coal plants.
In fact, the mouth of the average consumer is so toxic that ocean creatures should be warning each other about eating humans. |
| But did you ever wonder about the health effects of all the mercury being put into the mouths of children and adults in the form of mercury fillings? (Dentists call them "silver fillings" to conceal the fact that they're made with about 40% mercury.)

 Murry Vimy, professor of dentistry says, "It is estimated that the average individual, with eight biting surface mercury fillings, is exposed to a daily dose uptake of about 10 micrograms mercury from their fillings. According to Dr. Magnus Nylander, "Data suggest that approximately 19 to 20% of the general population may experience sub-clinical CNS and/or kidney function impairment as a result of the presence of amalgam fillings." Dr. Robert Gammal states, "Mercury from amalgam fillings has been shown to be neurotoxic, embryotoxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic and clastogenic. |

 She has called the dentist because one of her mercury fillings has been aching whenever she drinks something cold or hot. And she has also managed to microwave a cup of noodle soup for her lunch in its disposable bowl, throw a load of baby clothes in the dryer, put tick and flea killer on the dog's neck, and scour out the toilet and shower tiles with a foaming bathroom cleaner she doesn't like to use when the children are up and about because the label carries a warning that reads "hazardous to humans and domestic animals" and the fumes make her feel woozy. |

| Several countries, including Canada, Norway, Sweden, Britain, Germany and Denmark, currently advise dentists against using mercury fillings for pregnant women. However, the ADA contends that this recommendation was made despite the lack of scientific evidence of systemic health problems or toxic effects and maintains its position that dental amalgam should remain an option for patients.
ADA POSITION
"Our position is one of looking at the scientific evidence and believing it's safe and effective and that dentists and patients should have the option," says Dr. Ron R. |

| We have seen some patients in whom an autoimmune disease or other serious illness improved dramatically after their mercury fillings were replaced with other materials. However, only about 10% of those who have undergone amalgam removal have seen significant benefit. Changing one's fillings is expensive and traumatic to the teeth. When considering removing mercury fillings, the potential benefits should be weighed against the cost and the risk of damage to the teeth.
Many other environmental chemicals have been shown to affect human health. |

• Use ion foot baths. These devices work by delivering an electric current into the body through the feet. Charged ions attach to heavy metal toxins and neutralize them. The metals are then pulled out of the body through your feet as you soak them.
• Eliminate your exposure to aluminum! Use natural anti-perspirant that does not contain aluminum. Replace aluminum cookware with silicone bake ware and utensils, Le Creuset®, Range Kleen, cast iron, surgical stainless steel, or lead-glaze free terra cotta. |

Aspartame, too, is a known toxic substance that's well documented as a neurotoxin. And fluoridation? Well, let's just say that once you realize where the "fluoride" really comes from (it's a toxic waste chemical scraped off the emissions scrubbers of coal-fired power plants), you start to understand the magnitude of the fluoridation scam.
Any genuine health care reform should start with one simple principle: stop poisoning the people. |

 By any honest measure of psychological health, these doctors, dentists and health authorities who promote mandatory vaccinations, water supply fluoridation and mercury fillings are nothing less than clinically insane. By any honest legal measure, they might be considered criminally negligent for their actions.
I think it is no exaggeration to label these people criminals and consider them to be a threat to public health. |

 Mercury is far more toxic than lead in many ways, yet the media has nothing to say about the mass poisoning of children through the outmoded dental work still being performed on children today. mercury fillings were invented before the Civil War, and they're just as toxic now as they were then!
Of course, if dental fillings were made in China, the U.S. press would be screaming about their toxicity! But since they're installed by crazed U.S. dentists -- many of whom still manage to seem convincingly sane -- there's zero coverage in the mainstream media. |

| REACTION
A consortium of organizations including Consumers for Dental Choice, the Mercury Policy Project and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology filed a petition to the FDA to immediately ban mercury fillings for pregnant women so as to protect their unborn children. The FDA has six months to respond to the petition.
"We're doing this primarily as a precautionary measure to protect unborn children from unnecessary exposure to mercury," says Michael Bender, director of the Mercury Policy Project, located in Montpelier, Vermont. |

 Gee, why don't they have you swallow radiation pills at the same time they're putting mercury fillings in your mouth? That way you can be energized and have fillings, too!
Some of the greatest quackery in the world right now takes place in dentists' offices; and dentists strongly deny the problems associated with mercury toxicity and mercury fillings. Of course, I don't mean all dentists, some dentists are slowly coming around to this issue. |

 Mercury is found in fish because industrialized nations continue to pollute the environment with mercury from dental fillings ("silver" fillings) and coal-fired power plants. mercury fillings introduce over 300 metric tons of mercury into the environment each year.
In the U.S., the FDA warns women about the health hazards of excess mercury consumption, but fails to inform the public of the tremendous health benefits of oily fish. |

 In Germany, a federal law passed in the mid-nineties prohibits dentists to give mercury fillings to their patients. For the same reason, most North-European countries have limited the use of amalgam, and Sweden, Spain, Austria, and Denmark, among others, also banned this product in the year 2000. The amalgam compounds are so toxic that dentists are instructed not to touch amalgam with bare hands and store excess amalgam in tightly sealed containers. |

When we talk about mercury fillings, you have to keep in mind that mercury is simply one of the most toxic substances you can put into the human body, aside from radioactive substances. Right now, today, dentists all across the country and around the world are taking this highly toxic metal and literally putting it into the teeth of human beings. Those teeth are then used to chew food, and as a person chews; they effectively grind away the surfaces of these mercury fillings. |

Your kid have a cold? It's probably because their tonsils need to be removed! Tonsils have no biological function anyway, doctors claimed. Result: Over the last several decades, surgeons have removed tens of millions of tonsils, maiming children with a medically useless procedure that has now been proven virtually worthless. |
