Albert said, This is the most ignorant post I have ever seen on this site!
Careful, Albert, you are going to feel rather foolish for your strong reply. First off, a list member should be able to express their opinion without feeling attacked by other members. Its called list courtesy. Second, the science supporting the amalgam danger idea is supported by a preponderance of evidence. When I looked at the articles in my Mercury-amalgam directory, there were too many to send to the list. I will limit this post to quotes from one of them. Amalgam ban A study conducted by the University of Georgia, Tufts University School of Medicine, and the Calgary Medical School, and published in the April 1993 Journal of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, suggests that amalgam fillings can create bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. On February 18, 1994, Sweden announced a phased-in ban on the use of amalgam. Germany has banned a certain type of amalgam (gamma 2 phase) and issued advisories against the used of amalgam in pregnant women and people with Kidney problems. Denmark has banned amalgams as of 1999. Austria will phase out amalgam totally by 2000. German scientists say amalgam reduces fertility 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. Professor Ingrid Gerhard and her co-workers and the university gynecological clinic in Heidelberg have examined more than 1000 patients for mercury, fertility problems and symptoms. Mercury was measured after giving a so-called chelating agent known as DMPS. This substance mobilizes mercury from tissues, particularly the kidneys, so that it is excreted in the urine where it can be measured. The high-mercury group had more hormonal disturbances, immune disturbances, reccuring fungal infections, hair loss and allergies. A number of different hormonal disturbances were found, sex hormones among them. All these differences were statistically significant and some very marked. Allergies and hair loss were 2-3 times more common in the high-mercury group. The doctors at the clinic have successfully treated fertility problems with a combination of vitamins/minerals and amalgam removal. According to professor Gerhard, mercury exposure leads to hormone and immune disturbances that can reduce fertility. "It didn't take long for me to find dozens of sources that implied mercury poisoning was involved in ALS and MS, as well as many other "diseases", and that the most common source of mercury is from "silver" dental fillings. I was shocked that I had never heard of this before, but would later learn that by design, 95% of the population is unaware of this fact. I found articles and books that claimed many recoveries from MS after the SAFE removal of dental fillings. I even found one in a medical journal entitled "RECOVERY FROM AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS AND FROM ALERGIES FOLLOWING THE REMOVAL OF DENTAL AMALGAM FILLINGS" published in The Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine. The report documented the case of an unnamed woman in Sweden, who was diagnosed with ALS and was unable to walk. She fully recovered after just five months of removing her mercury fillings, and supplementing with selenium [Se] and vitamin E." - Roy Smith I am in the process of compacting all my mercury-amalgam articles into one zip file to send to those folks who request it.
