Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 The Role of Mercury in Alzheimer's Disease The most common cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is due to toxic metal that leaches from mercury-silver amalgam dental fillings and causes many other medical complications. Dr. Murray Vimy, a dental researcher from the University of Calgary, Canada, and member of the World Health Organization (WHO) states: .. . . " In a human autopsy study,5 brain tissues from people with AD at death were compared with an age-matched group of control brains from subjects without AD. The only significant difference in metal content between the two groups of brains was mercury, being considerably higher in the AD group. Mercury concentration was prominent in the hippocampus, the amygdala and particularly in the nucleus basalis, all brain structures involved in memory function. " -- Bolen Report This is not new - but it is current. Organized dentistry still plugs teeth with mercury at great cost to patients' health. About 8% of US dentists are now mercury-free. Our practice went mercury-free in '68 - possibly the first in the US to do so.
