Bibliography of Selected Scientific Research on the Health Effects of Mercury Accumulation from Dental Amalgam A THE ABSORPTION OF MERCURY FROM DENTAL FILLINGS Fritz L. Lorscheider, Ph.D. and Murray S. Vimy, DDS. University of Calgary Medical School, Alberta, Canada. Drs. Lorscheider and Vimy have shown definitively that mercury is continuously released from amalgam fillings, both as vapor and in microscopic particles, once the fillings are placed in the teeth. The mercury emitted from the fillings is transported to every part of the body via the air pathways, the digestive tract and the Mood stream, and accumulates in tissues and organ systems. 1.

There are also changes in patterns of dental caries, largely the result of topical and systemic fluoride, sealant use, improved oral hygiene practices and products and possibly dietary modifications. In 1990, over 200 million restorative procedures were provided in the United States; of these, dental amalgam accounted for roughly 96 million, a 38 percent reduction since 1979. This trend is expected to continue. There are also reports that carious lesions today are generally smaller, easier to treat, and managed by more conservative treatment that retains tooth structure. Because of this decrease in the frequency and size of dental caries, there has been a relative increase in the use of alternative dental restorative materials. The most commonly used and less expensive of the alternative materials, however, cannot be used for large lesions and need more frequent replacement. Also, there are currently many serviceable dental amalgam restorations that will need replacing in the future. Approximately 70 percent of the restorations placed annually are replacements. Most of these replacements will require amalgam or other metallic materials, because composite materials often lack sufficient strength or durability to be considered adequate substitutes.

Mercury's extreme cytotoxicity and neurotoxicity is a major factor in the neurological conditions, along with its inhibition of basic enzymatic cellular processes and effects on essential minerals and nutrients in cells. Mercury is also documented to cause imbalances in neurotransmitters related to mood disorders. A direct mechanism involving mercury's inhibition of cellular enzymatic processes by binding with the hydroxyl radical(SH) in amino acids appears to be a major part of the connection to allergic/immune reactive conditions such as autism , schizophrenia, lupus, eczema and psoriasis, scleroderma, and allergies. Immune reactivity to mercury has been documented by immune reactivity tests to be a major factor in many of the autoimmune conditions.

Why We're Passionate About This Subject In July of 2000 , the owners of Herb Allure, Inc. had all their amalgam (a.k.a. "Silver" [mercury-containing]) dental fillings replaced and their lives changed dramatically . Since then, we've been passionately sharing the unbelievable information our research uncovered that caused us to make this life-changing decision. We personally believe chronic mercury poisoning from amalgam ("silver") fillings is the most important health subject of the next decade . Many or most of the people you know probably already have it, don't know it, and are treating other symptoms which are rooted in one of mercury's many dangerous side effects The book we distribute on this website is the most comprehensive and well-written reference we have yet to find . It provides in-depth, yet easy-to-understand and practical information. It will help anyone determine if they have mercury-related health issues, and will help everyone overcome them.

Amalgam Controversy and Our Decision by Bob Hoffmann - September 1996 During the month of August, I was approached by several professionals that had been cured of seemingly "incurable" diseases through the removal of their amalgam fillings, and resulting detoxification of mercury from their systems. They have since become advocates for this treatment and have established a network with others that have been cured or are in the process of recovery. I was impressed with the list of names and types of diseases that have seemed to be helped with this procedure. I am convinced that it is a solution for some showing symptoms of neurological based disorders that should be considered within the medical community. Kip contacted me, as we live in the same vicinity, and described his recovery from an "incurable" condition through the removal of his amalgams, and the skepticism that it was met with from his attending physician. He also shared with me the names of others that he knows (and discusses in his memo) that have been "cured" from Alzheimer's symptoms as a result of the procedure. He also sent me a copy of his memo documenting the scientific basis for the theory. All this evidence and the lengthy chain of references (others having or being cured) weighed heavily on me, as I had finally accepted that there was nothing that could be done for Shirley. Along with the decision goes a certain amount of guilt that is always there when dealing with a disease that cannot be precisely diagnosed and for which there is no known prevention or cure. For which there is little known about cause except the genetic relationships within certain groups. I read somewhere that Alzheimer's (and other dementia) may be better classified as a syndrome rather than a disease, as there may be many causes (triggers) that eventually lead to the pathological outcome that has been identified.

Dental Amalgam Overview Amalgam Use and Benefits Dental amalgam, in widespread use for over 150 years, is one of the oldest materials used in oral health care. Its use extends beyond that of most drugs, and is predated in dentistry only by the use of gold. Dental amalgam is the end result of mixing approximately equal parts of elemental liquid mercury (43 to 54 percent) and an alloy powder (57 to 46 percent) composed of silver, tin, copper, and sometimes smaller amounts of zinc, palladium, or indium. Because of a general decline of dental caries among school children and young adults, the use of dental amalgam began to decrease in the 1970s. There are also changes in patterns of dental caries, largely the result of topical and systematic fluoride, sealant use, improved oral hygiene practices and products and possibly dietary modifications. In 1990, over 200 million restorative procedures were provided in the United States; of these, dental amalgam accounted for roughly 96 million, a 38 percent reduction since 1979. This trend is expected to continue. There are also reports that carious lesions today are generally smaller, easier to treat, and managed by more conservative treatment that retains tooth structure. Because of this decrease in the frequency and size of dental caries, there has been a relative increase in the use of alternative dental restorative materials. The most commonly used and less expensive of the alternate materials, however, cannot be used for large lesions and need more frequent replacement. Also, there are currently many serviceable dental amalgam restorations that will need replacing in the future. Approximately 70 percent of the resotrations placed annually are replacements. Most of these replacements will require amalgam or other metallic materials, because compositie materials often lack sufficient strength or durability to be considered adequate substitutes.

Custom Dictionaries Translation Services Word Databases Dictionaries/Grammars ... Send this Page to a Friend! Search Website: Our Sponsors Ionic Air Purifiers Denver Colorado Architect English Dictionary Online Casino ... Printable Version Pronunciation: Hear it! Part of Speech: Noun Meaning: An alloy of mercury with another metal, especially those used for filling teeth. A well-integrated blend of otherwise various and diverse things. Notes: This word is a patriarch of a large family based on the verb derived from it, amalgamate . It includes the noun amalgamation , the adjective amalgamative , and the person noun, amalgamator . The verb means (1) to alloy with mercury or (2) to join and integrate, as Acme Amalgamated Industries, implying one company made up of distinct entities that have been acquired and integrated into one company. In Play: Our primary source of amalgam is our dentist, who uses amalgams to fill cavities: "His mouth is so full of amalgam that he receives radio broadcasts from outer space." However, anything containing well mixed and integrated ingredients is an amalgam: "Her theory is little more than an amalgam of bits and pieces from other theories and contains nothing new." Word History: Today's word began its life in an alchemists' lab in the 13th century, perhaps as a corruption of Latin malagma "poultice, plaster". This word was borrowed from Greek malagma "softening substance", from the verb malassein "to soften", which was derived from malakos "soft". It is possible that the initial [a] came from an Arabic version of the Greek, al-malgham "the poultice". However, there is no convincing evidence of Arabic involvement and a simple corruption seems more likely. (We were happy to amalgamate Tim Ward's suggestion of this word with our own thoughts to produce today's Good Word.)
