Mercury in the Human Body
1. Inhibits DNA repair.
2. Alters the cells' ability to allow materials through the cell membrane.
3. Changes the shape of molecules producing vital cell chemicals.
4. Can displace and deactivate minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and chromium.
5. Kills helpful bacteria in your digestive system needed to combat bad bacteria in the first line of your immune system's defense.
6. Interferes with transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to the rest of the body, producing shaking, tremors, tingling and numbness.
7. Can provoke the immune system to mount an attack against itself - as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, lupus, leukemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and cancer.
8. Interferes with endocrine glands and hormonal secretions, and is associated with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, PMS, painful ovulation, infertility, adrenal problems, and thyroid disorders.
9. Is associated with diverse other diseases and symptoms, including kidney dysfunction, heart irregularities, insomnia, headaches, blurred vision, , unsteady gait, and food allergies.
10. Is also associated with mental and psychological problems liken autism Alzheimer's, slowed mental response, emotional instability, irritability, and personality changes.
Avoiding Mercury Contamination
Toxic vapors are released from mercury-containing fillings 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. This mercury vapor is released into our blood stream and carried to every cell in our body - including those of the brain.
Following the Coors study of 762 Patient Adverse Reaction Reports submitted to the FDA by patients, and another 807 patient reports from Sweden, Denmark, Canada, and the United States, notable improvement was found in many areas of health and well-being following removal of mercury-containing dental fillings. For example, there was marked improvement in individuals who had coped with allergies, anxiety, bad temper, bloating, blood pressure problems, chest pains, depression, dizziness, fatigue, intestinal problems, gum problems, headaches, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, irritability, lack of concentration, lack of energy, memory loss, metallic taste, multiple sclerosis and muscle tremor.
It is simply not wise to use metal in your mouth, including gold, which is the third most toxic metal to the body. Do not use porcelain or ceramic material, which contain aluminum, either.
Filling material should be strong enough to holdup during biting and chewing, and weak enough to be removed if further dental work is needed. There are many new strong plastic or glass composites, among others that work well for people and this new materials technology is advancing quickly. Currently safe filling materials include the plastic composites Heliomolar, Charisma, and Dentalite. Targis Vectris is the best so far for crowns, but new or improved materials are just around the corner.
