"Many people are unaware that "silver" amalgam dental
fillings are actually 50% mercury. The American
Dental Association (ADA) refuses to publicly state
that dental amalgam fillings contain a high level
of mercury, and adamantly denies that the mercury
escaping from them can cause serious health issues."

"Yet it has been proven that fillings lose their
mercury content. According to Joyal Taylor, DDS,
one dental researcher removed fillings that had
been in a patient's mouth for five years. He
also removed twenty year old fillings from another
patient's mouth. He tested the percentage of
mercury content if both fillings, and found that
the five year old fillings had lost one half of
their mercury, and the twenty year old fillings
had lost all of their mercury. Fillings tend to
fracture at the edges and begin to crumble away,
and mercury is absorbed by the roots of the teeth
as well as the surrounding bone and adjacent gum
tissue."

"Every day, we do things that can increase the
release of mercury vapor from amalgam fillings:
brushing our teeth, using a water pick, chewing
gum, and consume hot foods and drinks can all release
up to 300 parts per million of mercury colloids.
Any levels over 1 part per million can be cytotoxic
to the blood and tissues."

"Removing amalgams without special precautions
increases mercury blood levels for a period of
time. Such a concentrated release of mercury can
severely exacerbate existing neurological conditions."

"It is best to consult with your Dentist about removing
your mercury filings over a 6 to 12 month period
of time so the body can adequately remove this
highly acidic material out through the elimination
organs."
