Can dental fillings make you physically ill?

Answer 1

The Amalgam fillings which dentists place in our mouths every day, of every week, of every month, of every year, are a HEALTH HAZARD!! What a lot of people do not know is that an Amalgam Dental Filling is made up from an amalgamation of metals, which contain MERCURY. (Hence the name "Amalgam"). The main ingredient, Mercury, is more toxic than ARSENIC or LEAD! It is THE SECOND MOST POISONOUS SUBSTANCE KNOWN TO MAN, SECOND ONLY TO PLUTONIUM. An Amalgam filling is made up from 50% MERCURY, the other metals consisting of Copper, Silver, Tin, Zinc, Gold, Palladium and many others according to the manufacturer. There is 1/2 gram of Mercury in a large filling...enough Mercury to contaminate a 10 acre lake. MERCURY IS KNOWN TO DAMAGE THE BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM as well as the heart, lungs, thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands as well as hormones. Mercury is a very potent suppresser of the immune system and is known to damage the brain and nervous system of unborn babies. The NHS here is Britain advises their dentists not to place amalgam fillings into the mouths of pregnant women or very young children.

In 1991 The Word Health Organization (WHO) estimated that the body absorbed roughly 3 micrograms to 17 micrograms of Mercury EVERY DAY from amalgam dental fillings.

Ask your dentist about fillings without mercury.
