Dental Amalgam - Mercury ?

• Dental amalgam is composed of about 50 percent mercury, a well-known neurotoxin that can also damage your kidneys
• There is overwhelming evidence showing mercury is easily released in the form of vapor each time you eat, drink, brush your teeth or otherwise stimulate your teeth. These mercury vapors readily pass through your cell membranes, across your blood-brain barrier, and into your central nervous system, where it can cause psychological, neurological, and immunological problems
• Mercury used in dentistry is a significant source of environmental mercury pollution. When you factor in environmental costs and clean-up costs, amalgam is the most expensive dental restoration material in the world
• Once released into the environment, dental mercury converts to methylmercury and contaminates fish, which are the largest dietary source of mercury in the US

MY RESPONSE:

WHILE  I  OVERALL  AGREE  THAT  WE  SHOULD  POSSIBLY  USE  SOMETHING  DIFFERENT  FOR  FILLING  TEETH.

MY  PERSONAL  EXPERIENCE  IS  NOT  RESULTING  IN  ANY  BAD  HEALTH  ON  MY  PART.

I HAVE  HAD  THE  STANDARD  AMALGAM (HENCE  50  ERCENT  MERCURY)  IN  MY  MOUTH  SINCE  A  LATE  TEENAGER.  NOT  DRINKING  ENOUGH  RAW  MILK  IN  MY  YOUNGER  DAYS.....WELL  ENDED  UP  HAVING  A  NUMBER  OF  MY  BACK  TEETH  FILLED  WITH  THE  ABOVE  MATERIAL.

I  STILL  HAVE  3  BACK  TEETH  WITH  SUCH  FILLINGS.

I  HAVE  HAD  NO  ILL  EFFECTS;  MY  HEALTH  HAS  BEEN  EXCEPTIONALLY  GOOD  ALL  MY  LIFE.  PEOPLE  WHO  DO  NOT  KNOW  MY  AGE  THINK  ABOUT  ABOUT  50  YEARS  OLD  NOT  71  IN  SEPTEMBER  2013.

SO  HEALTH  IS  A  LARGE  UMBRELLA  TOPIC......AND  COVERS  WAY  MORE  THAN  THE  ABOVE  BY  MERCOLA.COM

NOW,  YES,  OF  COURSE  FOR  SOME  PEOPLE  SUCH  STANDARD  FILLING  MATERIAL  FOR  TEETH  MAY  WELL INDEED  HAVE  ADVERSE  EFFECTS.  BUT  SO  DO  PEANUTS  FOR  OTHERS,  AND  GLUTON  FOR  SOMEONE  ELSE,  AND  ON  IT  GOES.  

WE  ALSO  HAVE  A  BUILT  IN  IMMUNE  SYSTEM,  IF  HEALTHY  AND  STRONG,  WE  CAN  REJECT  MANY  TOXINS,  LIKE  BREATHING  IN  THE  FUMES  FROM  CARS,  BUSES,  AND  TRUCKS.

I  BELIEVE  MY  IMMUNE  SYSTEM  IS  AND  HAS  BEEN  ALL  MY  LIFE  VERY  STRONG,  SO  FOR  ME  OVER  ALL  THOSE  YEARS  WITH  THE  ABOVE  DENTAL  AMALGAM  IN  MY  MOUTH,  HAS  NOT  EFFECTED  ME,  AND  THAT  FILLING  MATERIAL  HAS  BEEN  IN  THOSE  3  REMAINING  BACK  TEETH  FOR  MANY  DECADES.
