  This came from Dr. Mercola's eHealthy newsletter:

 

Mercury amalgam dental fillings, commonly referred to as 'Silver' dental

fillings, contain between 48 & 55% mercury. While the American Dental

Association originally denied that mercury from these fillings was

leaking and being absorbed into the body, in recent years, facing

numerous studies to the contrary, have had to concede that 'silver

fillings' , do indeed leak mercury vapor, one of the most toxic

substances known to man.

States Pam Floener, a spokesperson for the International Academy of Oral

Medicine and Toxicology, states that " The metallic mercury used by

dentists to manufacture dental amalgam is shipped as a hazardous

material to the dental office. When amalgams are removed, for whatever

reason, they are treated as hazardous waste and are required to be

disposed of in accordance with OSHA regulations and it is inconceivable

that the mouth could be considered a safe storage container for this

toxic material. "

This new information, comes straight from the National Institute of

Health and has been brought to light by Citizens for Mercury Relief

(CFMR), a Canadian Group that in 1998 initiated a Federal Class Action

Lawsuit against the manufacturers of mercury dental amalgam and Health

Canada, that is currently awaiting court certification.

Their initial figures revealed that while 78% of the American public

have dental fillings, 95% of the people with International

Classification of Disease Codes 340-349: Disorders of the Central

Nervous System which include MS, Epilepsy, Paralysis and Migraines, have

dental fillings.

That is an almost 22% increased risk in people with dental amalgams. In

addition, initial figures also demonstrated that in the Major Chapter of

Circulatory Disorders ( ICD-9-M Codes 390-459 which includes rheumatic

fever, heart disease, pulmonary circulation, hypertension, and arterial

disease), that this group is 33% filling free, an astounding result

considering that the rest of the American population is 18% filling

free. Mezei says " clearly the survivors of heart disease have a much

higher rate of being dental filling-free, and we know heart disease is

the #1 Killer in the United States " but also stated that " he would not

be surprised if the American Dental Association tried to say that these

figures meant that dental fillings prevented heart disease " .

Last year the city of Boston banned the sale of mercury thermometers.

One and one-half mercury thermometers contain about one gram of mercury.

Further, it has been figured that only one gram of mercury will pollute

a 20-acre lake!

AMALGAM FILLINGS contain 45-52% mercury, with at least 5% (according to

my dentist) continuously being freed to go further into our bodies. This

gives 5% x 50% = 2.50% " free " mercury vapor to leech out (sublimate)

over time. (Ask your dentist how many grams of Hg is in an average

amalgam filling in your mouth, and how many fillings you actually do

have.)

Therefore, if an average filling contains an estimated 800 milligrams of

amalgam, with the average middle-aged adult having 8 fillings, the

average North American adult has 0.16 grams (8 x 0.800 x 0.025) of

potential mercury vapor to go into the lungs, blood, and brain from

dental fillings alone -- an average of about three-millionths of a gram

a day -- regardless of the amount of Hg we take in from vaccinations and

from our food! Amalgam fillings account for 70% of mercury ions found in

human urine. "

 

Happy Springtime!!
