Awareness Programme About Mercury (Amalgam)
  • The slow dose Poison that we take without knowing
    its demerits

2
Amalgam Fillings

Here is a list of symptoms that can be caused by
Amalgam (Mercury) ? Mouth Symptoms bleeding
of the gum, burning tongue, metallic taste ?
Allergies contact allergy, food allergy, hey
fever, eczema, asthma ? Chronic infects
rhinitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis
4
  • ? Nerval Symptoms
  • chronic headache, migraine, tiredness,
  • lack of energy, concentration problems,
    depression, anxiousness, nervousness, sleeping
    problems, eye problems, tinnitus
  • ? Cardiovascular Symptoms
  • low blood pressure, arrhythmias, palpitation
  • ? Other Symptoms
  • sweating, pain in the back, losing hair,
    irritability, burning sensation of scalp
  • skins of hands feet, gastrointestinal
    problems, rheumatic diseases.

5
Methods of investigation to prove an amalgam
poisoning
  • ? Skin tests to show allergic reaction -gt only
    these tests are accepted by the insurance
    companies
  • ? DMPS-test -gt 40 minutes after the injection of
    DMPS an increase of the urine concentration of
    mercury, copper and zinc can be measured in
    stressed persons. Only 5 to 10 of the patients
    will do this test because the health insurance
    companies neither pay nor accept it.

6
Methods of investigation to prove an amalgam
poisoning
  • ? Electroacupuncture according to Voll test
    (EDSS) -gt used by 2000 German doctors and
    healers. Three universities have published
    positive reports about this method. Many other
    causes of chronic diseases can be found with this
    method.

  • Lorscheider FL, Vimy MJ, Summers AO.Department
    of Medical Physiology, Faculty of Medicine,
    University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.For more
    than 160 years dentistry has used silver amalgam,
    which contains approximately 50 Hg metal, as the
    preferred tooth filling material. During the past
    decade medical research has demonstrated that
    this Hg is continuously released as vapor into
    mouth air then it is inhaled, absorbed into body
    tissues, oxidized to ionic Hg, and finally
    covalently bound to cell proteins. Animal and
    human experiments demonstrate that the uptake,
    tissue distribution, and excretion of amalgam Hg
    is significant, and that dental amalgam is the
    major contributing source to Hg body burden in
    humans. Current research on the
    patho-physiological effects of amalgam Hg has
    focused upon the immune system, renal system,
    oral and intestinal bacteria, reproductive
    system, and the central nervous system. Research
    evidence does not support the notion of amalgam
    safety.

8
Dental Amalgams the "silver" fillings in your
teeth Is It Safe?
  • Dental amalgam, the material in silver tooth
    fillings, contains approximately 50 per cent of
    the highly toxic heavy metal mercury. But is it
    safe to put so much Mercury, the most toxic
    non-radioactive metal known to man, into the
    mouth of a person?

9
IS DENTAL AMALGAM SAFE?
  • The "silver" fillings in your teeth - Dental
    Amalgams - are still widely used by the dental
    profession in most parts of the world. The
    "Amalgam" consists of a mix of metals - Generally
    50 Mercury, 35 Silver, 15 Tin other metals.
    But is it safe to put so much Mercury, the most
    toxic non-radioactive metal known to man, into
    the mouth of a person? There is now a growing
    body of evidence that it is NOT safe to do so.
    Some countries, like Sweden, Canada and Germany,
    UK have either banned or imposed serious
    limitations on Amalgam usage.

10
  • There is now compelling evidence from reputable
    scientific bodies (such as the World Health
    Organisation) that, despite claims from
    pro-amalgam bodies such as the American and
    British Dental Associations (ADA/BDA), Mercury is
    NOT "locked" safely in the metal bonds in the
    teeth, but can leak slowly into the body,
    possibly causing or contributing to severe
    illnesses. A 1991 W.H.O study indicates Amalgam
    to be the main source of Mercury exposure for
    humans. The range of ailments that have been
    linked (directly or indirectly) to low-level
    Mercury poisoning include ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue
    Syndrome), Alzheimers Disease, Multiple
    Sclerosis, and a whole range of "auto-immune"
    illnesses. In fact, just by damaging the human
    immune system, Amalgam could be contributing to
    an even broader range of illnesses.

11
  • the two most common sources of toxic mercury
    seafood and dental amalgams. But there's a third
    source of mercury that you should know about,
    particularly if you are the parent or grandparent
    of a young child or are expecting to have a
    child vaccines.
  • Until recently, a form of mercury called
    thimerosal was used as a preservative in many of
    the vaccines given to infants and young children,
    including vaccines for hepatitis B, influenza,
    diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and Haemophilus
    influenzae type b (Hib).

12
  • Mercury's extreme cytotoxicity and neurotoxicity
    is a major factor in the neurological conditions,
    along with its inhibition of basic enzymatic
    cellular processes and effects on essential
    minerals and nutrients in cells. Mercury is also
    documented to cause imbalances in
    neurotransmitters related to mood disorders. A
    direct mechanism involving mercury's inhibition
    of cellular enzymatic processes by binding with
    the hydroxyl radical(SH) in amino acids appears
    to be a major part of the connection to
    allergic/immune reactive conditions such as
    autism, schizophrenia, lupus, eczema and
    psoriasis, scleroderma, and allergies. Immune
    reactivity to mercury has been documented by
    immune reactivity tests to be a major factor in
    many of the autoimmune conditions

  • this poison can do to the delicate brain and
    nervous system of a young child once-healthy
    child, who was given vaccines for nine different
    diseases in one day, now suffers from autism.
  • Mercury Destroys Brain Cells  As I mentioned,
    mercury is a neurotoxin that is especially
    damaging to the developing brain and nervous
    system. A growing number of researchers believe
    that the soaring rates of neurological and
    developmental disorders in our children can be
    linked to a corresponding increase uses of
    Amalgam in the mouth number of
    government-mandated vaccines.

14
  • In a cell culture experiment, mercury affected
    hormone production at low concentrations. A link
    has been found between mercury and hormone
    disturbances, immune disturbances, recurrent
    fungal infections, hair loss and allergies. The
    differences are large. Allergies and hair loss
    are 2-3 times as common in the high- mercury
    group. These recent results confirm earlier
    findings from Heidelberg on mercury and
    fertility. According to the researchers, mercury
    exposure leads to hormone and immune disturbances
    that can reduce fertility. In a cell culture
    experiment at the Tuebingen University
    gynecological clinic, mercury affected hormone
    production at low concentrations. The
    concentrations were so low that cell vitality was
    otherwise almost unaffected.

15
  • The mercury connection to neurological pervasive
    developmental disorders(autism, schizophrenia,
    dyslexia, childhood depression, learning
    disabilities, etc.) and developmental immune
    conditions(eczema, asthma, and allergies) 
  •   The incidence of neurotoxic, allergic, and
    immune reactive conditions such as autism,
    schizophrenia, ADD, dyslexia, allergies, asthma,
    eczema, psoriasis, childhood diabetes, etc. have
    been increasing rapidly in recent years. A recent
    report by the National Research Council found
    that 50 of all pregnancies in the U.S. are now
    resulting in prenatal or postnatal mortality,
    significant birth defects, developmental
    disabilities or otherwise chronically unhealthy
    babies.

16
Amalgam also cause Diabetes
  • Dental amalgam has been used for over 150 years.
    Almost everyone living in any industrialized
    nation has at least a few such restorations in
    his mouth. The Anti-Amalgamists have been
    attacking the mercury in silver fillings since it
    was invented in the first half of the 19th
    century. When they started attacking it, it was
    assumed that Amalgam was responsible for such
    diseases as diabetes, gout, and numerous other
    diseases that have since been documented to have
    other causes. The list of diseases that are
    "caused" by dental Amalgam shrinks every year as
    real science uncovers the real causes of more and
    more diseases.

17
Types of direct Filling Materials
  • The types of direct fillings
  • There are Four major types of direct filling
    materials silver amalgam, composite, Glass
    Inomer (combination of glass particles in a
    plastic matrix) and temporary filling materials.
    (There are also three major types of indirect
    filling material gold, porcelain and composite.)
  • (I know! but there is an indirect form of
    composite which some dentists use.)

18
Composite Filling
  • Composite fillings are what people think of when
    they say "white fillings". We call them tooth
    colored fillings to distinguish them from
    Amalgam, gold and temporary filling materials.
    There are a number of different formulations of
    composite filling, but the type most commonly
    used today is made of microscopic glass, or
    porcelain particles of varying shapes and sizes
    (depending on the intended use) embedded in a
    matrix of acrylic. The glass particles account
    for between 60 and 80 of the bulk of these
    materials, so these restorations could more
    properly be called porcelain fillings.

Advantages of Composite
  • The glass particles give the composite
    restoration their color (and their stiffness in
    the unset state). The acrylic is the plastic
    matrix that holds the glass particles together.
    Most composite restorations today are "light
    cured" which means that the acrylic remains fluid
    until a very bright light is shined on it causing
    it to harden. Light curing allows the dentist
    time to work with the material, building and
    shaping it correctly, and when ready, to harden
    it immediately with the light. The light curing
    also makes for a more color stable restoration.
    The new tooth colored composite restorations do
    not get yellow or brown with age as the older
    ones did.

23
Should I have all my amalgam fillings replaced
with composites?
  • In case of esthetics its a major concern to the
    patient, then you should request the replacement
    of all your amalgams with composites, or
    porcelain crowns. But beware! Every time you
    remove one filling and put another in its place,
    you run the risk of killing the nerve of the
    tooth and then needing a root canal or
    extraction! Remember that the presence of mercury
    in amalgams is considered as sufficient reason to
    replace them, and dentist should recommend
    replacing yours on the basis of "mercury
    poisoning".  We do solicit the replacement of
    any old filling provided that it is still
    serviceable and the patient does not object to
    its appearance.

WHEN MY PARENTS BEGAN TO POISON ME AND THE
DENTISTWHO SAVED MY LIFE
  • I'm from Dhaka, but recently moved to Rifats
    Dental CMD Clinic. I was poisoned by my amalgam
    dental fillings since age 4 and recently my
    doctor and dentist saved my life. They are the
    silver ones you have in your mouth. They contain
    50 mercury and it has been proven that it leaks
    out, poisoning your body, some-times in subtle
    ways. Please read below about the second most
    toxic substance on the planet, which includes my
    personal story.

28
Advice to my Friends
  • If you or your friends or family are experiencing
    any health problems (the most noticeable are
    stomach problems and/or acid reflux disease,
    weight gain, anxiety, difficulty controlling
    emotions such as anger, fatigue, depression,
    fibromyalgia, arthritis and memory problems
    and/or confusion) or have any silver fillings you
    need replaced, root canals or cavitations you
    need cleaned (or if you need other dental work
    performed)
  • please use my contact information.
