Mercury

Mercury is one of the most toxic metals. This element is even more toxic than lead. Mercury can be found in our water, soil, fungicides, pesticides, our food supplies, vaccines, and even our amalgam fillings.

Mercury is a poison that is cumulative, or builds up over time. What makes it worse is that there is no barrier that prevents mercury from reaching the brain cells which leads to it being stored in the pain center of the brain and in the central nervous system. This can lead to both a prevention of proper nutrient uptake, as well as the removal of wastes through the cells.

Because of the severe health risks associated with Mercury poisoning and toxicity, it is an element that mush be avoided, and if you fear that you do have it stored in your system, it should be removed through a detoxification program.

Symptoms Of Mercury Toxicity

  • Behavioral changes

  • Impairment of the peripheral visionDepression

  • Lack of coordination of movements, such as writing

Mercury In Amalgam Fillings

According to the World Health Organization, amalgam dental fillings are one of the leading sources of mercury exposure. With nearly 200 million Americans having mercury amalgam dental fillings, its easy to see why so many people have mercury poisoning.

It has been estimated that one amalgam filling can release 3-17 micrograms of mercury each day. On top of that, the mercury vapor released from dental amalgams can combine with chemicals in the mouth to create trace amounts of toxic methyl mercury which is easily absorbed through the mouth and air ways.

With an increased awareness of the toxicity of amalgam fillings, many are choosing to remove their silver fillings and replace them with white fillings.

    Hi Jeff,
    Great information here. I am dentist who is mercury-free and mercury-safe. I recommend to my patients that they visit a naturopath to go on a detox program while in process and after mercury amalgam removal. Keep healthy - we only get one chance at it.

    A friend of mine was telling me about how dangerous mercury could be, but I didn't fully understand the effect it could have on your body until after reading your lens. Great information reads well.
