Mercury Poisoning: Symptoms and Diseases

Mercury is the most poisonous, non-radioactive, naturally occurring substance on our planet. There is no safe level of mercury because even one atom of it in your body is doing some harm to it. There is no debate about the toxicity of mercury and every knowledgeable scientist and health professional understands how poisonous mercury is. Yet even today the American Dental Association (ADA) and pro-amalgam dentists who support its insane, logic defying position, continue to say that these fillings are perfectly safe and are not a health hazard.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that there is no safe level of mercury. That means that no amount of it is safe, even one atom. Even if enough mercury hasn't accumulated to manifest a symptom related to chronic mercury poisoning, that doesn't mean you are not being poisoned by it. The straw that broke the proverbial camel's back wasn't the last straw, it was the sum total of the weight of all of the straws.

I find it very ironic that regulatory agencies require that the material that makes up an amalgam filling, such as mercury, silver, zinc, copper and tin, must be placed in a hazardous waste container when it enters the dental office. The amalgam filling particles that are removed from a tooth must also be placed in an hazardous waste container. Yet there is no regulation of an amalgam filling when it's placed in a tooth! Isn't it logical that because it's in the tooth it makes the tooth a hazardous waste container.

It's a scientific fact that toxic mercury vapor is continually being released from amalgam fillings. 80% of it enters your body and accumulates in it. This accumulation occurs because the body loses its effectiveness at removing mercury over time. If mercury is stored in your body it makes it a hazardous waste container. So don't be fooled by the ADA and those who support its position on mercury amalgam fillings. Mercury is continuously released from amalgam fillings and that makes them a health hazard. You shouldn't be in the same house with mercury vapor, let alone having it being released from your fillings.

My book, Mercury Detoxification: The Natural Way to Remove Mercury from Your..., not only tells you how to support your body's efforts to safely remove the stored mercury but explains how this poison does its damage. Once you learn how devastating it is your health you will be dumbfounded as to how the ADA can possibly continue to support the use of this poisonous material

Symptoms Related to Mercury Poisoning

At least 100 symptoms directly or indirectly result from chronic mercury poisoning. The number and severity of symptoms depend on a variety of factors, such as;

• how many fillings you have;
• how long you've had them;
• how they are stimulated; and
• how often they are stimulated.

In addition, because mercury is classified as a neurotoxin it can also cause of contribute to emotional and psychological issues, such as depression, anxiety, mood swings and memory loss. Symptoms that worsen over time may signal the development of a disease. 

This table lists some of the common symptoms directly related to chronic mercury toxicity. But keep in mind that because mercury can indirectly cause harm by depleting the antioxidants, such as glutathione and alpha lipoic acid, needed to remove it and deal with other harmful toxins and free radicals . . . it can indirectly be related to even more symptoms and diseases.
