I was thinking over the last couple of days how some of you may not feel like you are affected at all by the amalgam fillings you have in your teeth, that you are not showing any symptoms from the list I have shared in a previous blog. That list was compiled because of circumstances revolving around removing amalgams from people and finding them to be relieved of the maladies they were inflicted with, not always specifically removing the amalgam to be relieved from the symptoms. It's after many years of dental amalgam removal that Andrew Hall Cutler, PHD PE (Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment) was able to make correlations and be able to make such an extensive list. There are so many other symptoms out there that might be relieved by amalgam removal - it's a substance that is not defined by any boundaries and can affect each person in so many different ways. If your doctor can't explain why something is happening to you, it could possibly be your fillings.

Others of you may not have amalgam fillings, but may have been exposed to mercury or other toxic heavy metals in other ways. Having root canals can be just as toxic, having a crown placed is another cause for concern since most dentists use amalgam as a binder to hold the crown to what's left of the tooth. Nickel is also a very poisonous toxic metal to have in the body, and can also be found used in dental work, but that's another whole story! Dentures can also have mercury in two ways...first if there is any metal inside holding the teeth to the moulding. Second, it is found in the acrylic that binds the structure together in the forms of cadmium sulfate and mercury sulfate (It's All In Your Head by Hal Huggins). Some mercury exposure isn't even in dental form....some paints still have mercury in them, and then there is the immunizations we had as children (and our children are having now) that use a preservative called thimerosal in them. Thimerosal is made from mercury, and has been thought to be a root cause of autism as well as ADHD and ADD. For those of you who get flu shots, I don't have proof, but talked to a woman that asked her doctor's nurse for the breakdown of what's in the shot and she was told that there is a form of mercury in there as well.

Believe it or not, there are still health and beauty products out there that have used mercurial agents that expose us to mercury beyond what our bodies can handle. Not even ten years ago, you could find mercury used in contact lens solutions. It's still used in many cleaning agents. If you would like a list of products that do (or did) have some form of mercury in them, please let me know and I can get them to you, or pick up It's All in Your Head by Hal Huggins at the library.
