I can't believe that some people are still saying that mercury fillings can be safe! Why would they do that? MERCURY FILLINGS ARE NOT SAFE!!!! There are so many studies available and so much scientific evidence... How much proof do we need?
Think of it this way: What would YOU pay for your house? A hundred thousand dollars? Maybe. 3 million dollars? Maybe. Would you give the life of your child for a house? Never! Would you give the health of a thousand people for a house? Never!
It's inconceivable that a normal human being would trade another person's life or health for material possessions. One person getting sick due to mercury poisoning is enough evidence for us not to use it anymore (period). How many more people have to get sick? ... and why, because some dentist wants a new car?????
"In 1991, Sweden declared mercury amalgam to be toxic material "unsuitable for use" and announced the imposition of an outright ban on amalgam fillings."
"Any exposure to mercury—no matter how small—may prove harmful to sensitive individuals."
These are more quotes from Dr. Wentz's book called "A Mouthful of Poison" and I'll be quoting more from this book below:
(If you'd like more info concerning the studies Dr. Wentz has quoted from, you can purchase the book. I have a link on the left side of this web page that will help you find it.)
"A formal judgement was passed in 2003 requiring all dental offices in California to post the following warning: "Dental amalgam, used in many dental offices causes exposure to mercury, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.""
"California has introduced a bill to outlaw the use of amalgam fillings after 2006: this act is based on the scientific evidence of bioaccummulation of mercury in the fetus and nursing child through maternal placental transmission and breast milk."
"... Of greatest concern is mercury's well documented ability to cause genetic mutations leading to birth defects and learning disabilities. Exposure of the fetus to mercury can also cause serious disruption in brain development involving a reduction in total brain mass, loss of neurons, and developmental imbalances. The consequences include attention deficit disorder (ADD), behavioral disorders, a lowering of the intelligence quotient (IQ) and mental retardation. ..."
"Autism, a complex developmental disability that typically appears duing the first three years of life, may have a direct connection with early exposure to mercury. Some researchers suggest that amalgam fillings could be a large part of the reason for the explosions of learning problems, including autism and attention deficit disorder (ADD) since World War II — a time corresponding to the wide spread use of mercury amalgam."
"INTERESTINGLY, A RECENT GERMAN STUDY HAS RECORDED A MARKED DECREASE IN THE OVERALL BODY BURDEN OF MERCURY IN CHILDREN OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, A CONSEQUENCE ATTRIBUTED TO THE MANDATED DECLINE IN THE USE OF MERCURY AMALGAMS IN THAT COUNTRY."

My dentist in St. John was basically forced by her own health problems to become mercury-free. "Strangely", she improved practicing mercury free and now she takes great precautions when helping other people to get rid of their mercury. When I was at her office, not only did she remove the mercury properly (with a slow drill so as to chunk the amalgam filling), I had a continual external oxygen supply, she used a high power vacuum, and both she and her assistant used gas masks when removing the mercury from my teeth. How many other dentists out there are not well and don't realize that it's because of the mercury they are continually being exposed to?

"It is well known that blood levels of mercury, while an important measure of transient mercury exposure, are a poor indicator of its cumulative body burden. It is the level of mercury in the tissues—not the blood—that prescribes the progression of disease."
"US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) classifies discarded dental amalgams as toxic waste."
---------
HMM... IF IT'S CONSIDERED TOXIC WASTE, WHY IS IT ALLOWED TO BE PUT IN OUR MOUTHS AND WHY DO WE ALLOW IT TO BE PUT INTO OUR CHILDREN'S MOUTHS???
---------
"The NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), WHO (World Health Organization) and the US Centers for Disease Control all acknowledge that practically speaking, there is no safe level of mercury exposure."
"... while the amount of mercury absorbed from exposure to various environmental and occupational sources can be substantial, it pales when compared to the amount of mercury absorbed from amalgam fillings. Simply put, if you are walking around with mercury in your mouth, you are your own primary exposure risk to mercury — and you will have to live with it every day until you do something about it."

I'm SO glad I did something about it!
You can also choose to live a healthier and happier life!
