Medical Dangers: Mercury in silver amalgam dental fillings.

[Guest guest]

Dental Mercury Exposure CFS Nutrition www.CFSN.com FEED YOUR HEALTH [Mercury is also present in many birth control creams, medicines, paints, fluoroscent lamps, contaminated sea fish, canned food, coal industry smoke etc. For some details read; http://pasture.ecn.purdue.edu/~epados/mercury/nopano/src/settings.htm " Mercury in Medical Settings "] Mercury exposure from mercury dental fillings, also known as "silver" fillings and "amalgams", is a life long threat. When a person

chews, drinks, swallows and breathes, mercury released from dental fillings is absorbed by the lungs and the linings of the digestive system into the bloodstream. As they corrode, mercury fillings release ionized mercury into the saliva, tooth pulp, and gum tissues leading to the digestive system and bloodstream. Measurements of momentary mercury levels in breath have been scientifically collected in multiple studies. There has been much debate about the potential safety hazard because mercury vapor levels measured in the mouth are not always above the standards set for exposure in the workplace. Overlooked has been the amount of mercury in feces, which demonstrates both exposure and excretion from the blood and tissues by the liver. The levels measured by Osterblad et. al. in the article "Antimicrobial and mercury resistance in aerobic

gram-negative bacilli in fecal flora among persons with and without dental amalgam fillings" published in Antimicrobial Agents & Chemotherapy, 39(11):2499-502 1995 Nov; are disturbing, and clearly demonstrate that human mercury exposure is dominated by the presence of mercury dental fillings. Osterblad found that on average people with mercury dental fillings had 17 times more mercury in their feces than did people who had never had mercury dental fillings, and had 11 times more mercury in feces than did people who had all of their mercury dental fillings removed. The group with mercury dental fillings had more than 1 part per million mercury in their feces. At the first standard deviation, the difference between these populations becomes more dramatic. People with mercury dental fillings had nearly 4 parts per million mercury in

feces, 39 times more mercury than did people who never had the fillings. Osterblad's data indicates that 1 person in 1000 with mercury dental fillings will have 10 parts per million mercury in their daily feces, 170 times more mercury than the average person who has never had such a filling. The safe limit of mercury allowed by the EPA in drinking water is 2 parts per billion (see ASTDR ToxFAQ CAS# 7439-97-6) . What Osterblad found in the feces of people with mercury dental fillings was an average concentration 500 times higher than would be allowed in minimally safe drinking water.
