Swedish Commission Recommends Ban on Mercury Amalgam

[Guest guest]

These studies and reports are really a bunch of cr_p. People have know the

toxicity and health damage caused by mercury for many, many years.

 

If some small businesses (US) were using mercury in a similiar manner they would

be in big trouble, but a powerfull group like the ADA can get away with using

this stuff for generation after generation with no government investigation or

intervention.

 

What would there reaction be if this extremely toxic poison were used by an

" alternative " healthcare provider? They probably would be jailed and rightfully

so.

 

Money, power and politics!

 

Be carefull, learn and protect yourself and your family. The government isn't

protecting you, but they are protecting groups like the ADA.

Swedish Commission Recommends Ban on Mercury Amalgam

 

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 4, 2003 (ENS) - The Swedish Dental Material Commission

has ended its study of the effects of dental amalgam containing mercury and

recommends that the amalgam be banned.

 

Last autumn, the Commission assigned Maths Berlin to head a commission to report

on the past five years' research literature on amalgam and the health hazards,

if any, of mercury. Berlin is a professor emeritus with long experience on the

effects of mercury on animals and humans. He chaired the World Health

Organization Task Group on Environmental Health Criteria for Inorganic Mercury

in 1991, and a similar group that drew up health criteria for methylmercury.

His report, " Mercury in dental-filling materials – an updated risk analysis in

environmental medical terms, " builds on a similar 1997 report which identified

the following health risks from mercury in dental fillings:

 

Risk of impairment in the functions of the central nervous system

 

Risk of impairment in kidney function

 

Risk of impairment in the immune system

 

Risk of impairment in fetal development, especially development of the

nervous system.

 

 

 

After a thorough review of the medical literature from 1997 through 2003, Berlin

concluded that, " For medical reasons, amalgam should be eliminated in dental

care as soon as possible. "

 

This will confer gains in three respects, he wrote. " The prevalence of

side-effects from patients' mercury exposure will decline; occupational exposure

to mercury can cease in dental care; and one of our largest sources of mercury

in the environment can be eliminated.

Dental materials left in patients' mouths should be treated as drugs for

administrative purposes, Berlin said, and accordingly, toxicological and

clinical testing should be required. Reporting of side effects should also take

place according to the same norms that apply to drugs, he recommends.

In most studies of the effects of mercury, the subjects have been men. It is

" imperative, " Berlin wrote, to describe the differences, if any, between men and

women in metabolism and the toxicokinetics of mercury after exposure to mercury

vapor.

Epidemiological surveys of the in utero effects of mercury exposure on fetal

brain development should be carried out to further clarify the hazards, if any,

Berlin recommends.

Epidemiological studies designed to investigate associations, if any, between

amalgam load and degenerative retinal diseases are " urgently required, " he

wrote.

Studies designed to find any associations that exist between thyroid disease and

amalgam fillings, and coordinated clinical studies of people who undergo amalgam

removal on suspicion of side-effects from mercury should be carried out, Berlin

suggests.
