Poisoned – Side Effects of Mercury Amalgam Fillings by Chris Trickett The author relates his personal experience of the effects that mercury amalgam fillings have had on his life – of his resulting ill health and subsequent recovery.

Mercury Amalgam Fillings – Removal & Detoxification by Catherine M Crawford With a grand total of 13 fillings collected over some 38 years, I have been absorbing mercury in ever increasing amounts daily via different routes: chewing food; having hot drinks; breathing in the vapour; swallowing the saliva containing mercury; chewing of gum in my teenage years.

The Dangers of Dental Amalgam Fillings by Bernie Williams Mercury exposure of most people with fillings was found to exceed government health standards and levels found to cause adverse health effects.

My Story – Mercury Amalgam Filling Removal by Kerry Burrows To do it or not to do it, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous mercury and amalgam or take arms against a sea of harmful vapour and by a dental operation, end them?

Mercury Madness by Sheila Bailey Imagine seeing a horror movie where the characters slowly become mentally and physically ill for no obvious reason and there appears to be no available cure for any of their mysterious symptoms. Although most of us know from experience that fact can sometimes be stranger than fiction, it’s sad that my friend’s life was almost ruined through a similar scenario which affected most of her adult life through no fault of her own.

Selenium and Mercury Detoxification by Andrew Bennison Selenium is one of the elements which occurs in such minute quantities in the soil, foodstuffs and the body that, in the past, they were impossible to measure. Only a “trace” of their presence was detectable. In the last few decades it has come to light that these trace elements play a vital role in the biochemistry of the human body.

Nutritional Mercury Detoxification Protocol by Stewart Drage Around ten years ago I decided that there was sufficient evidence available to confirm my decision to become a mercury free dentist. This article does not concern itself with the ongoing controversy as to whether amalgam is a safe filling material, but discusses the general nutritional advice we give to our patients and the specific substances that we would like them to take during and after amalgam removal.

Mercury Free Dentistry - A passport to better health by Dr Graeme Munro-Hall and Dr Lilian Munro-Hall We are dentists. Definitely not normal dentists. We realised over ten years ago that mercury from amalgam fillings could injure patients, so we became “Mercury Free”. Now we are of the opinion that all metals have the possibility to injure patients, so now we are “Metal Free” as well. We use an American formaldehyde free composite and porcelain instead.

Mercury and Selenium – The Battle of the Elements by Dr R.E. Lister Dental students are taught that amalgams are composed of a mixture of metals with varying composition of mercury, silver, zinc, tin and copper. They are told that these individual metals are all toxic, but when amalgamated their toxic effects are eliminated. ...The facts, however, are at variance with these views.

Mercury Poisoning from Amalgam Fillings by Vivienne Bradshaw Mercury, the most toxic metal in amalgam fillings, has a long history of use and an equally long history of known toxic effects. Despite man’s efforts to use mercury, its poisonous nature has limited such use and where it has not, penalties in health and life itself have been exacted.

Root Canal – Roots of Disease! by Dr John Roberts B.Ch.D. The use of dental amalgams brought dentistry out of the Barbers shop to the highly technical discipline it is today. We are now investigating and recognising the effects that the mercury from these fillings has had on the health of generations of individuals.

Water Fluoridation – Therapy or Fallacy? by Sheila L.M. Gibson Water fluoridation – is this really a way to improve dental health, or is it another nail in our coffins, causing hip fractures, dental fluorosis, immune system problems and, possibly, cancer?
