Re: 3 amalgams out & what happened next.

I read Uninformed Consent by Hal Huggins, Silver Dental Fillings - the Toxic Time Bomb by Sam Ziff, Molecular Biology and Toxicology of Metals, Immunotoxicology of Envinronmental and Occupational Metals. Mercury Poisoning from Dental Amalgam by Patrick Stortbecker. A report from the Surgeon General's office about mercury toxicity amongst more than a hundred and fifty fur cutting factory workers exposed to measured levels of mercury vapor in the air (1937). Neurotropic Diseases Surveillance, found some early works describing what happened to people who took mercury pills, worked at the mercury smelter, worked making mercury barometers, worked in the fur cutting industry, etc. There was a World Health Organization publication that linked a higher number of Amalgam fillings to higher levels of mercury measured in the body and recommended that levels of mercury in the body should be as low as possible. There is a book, Minamata Disease, about toxic affects of organic mercury in seafood. A spillage of metallic mercury bags on board a ship resulted in death and illness of the crew and animals.

I cannot recall Cutler. I am aware that some chelating agents might not be approved by the Food and Drug admin. Some very bad cases of industrial mercurial poisoning recovered after months away from mercury exposure without any deliberate chelation therapy. It is the chronic long term exposure to low levels of mercury poisoning that made people unemployable. There have been such cases linked to Amalgam fillings. The less severe cases were not making people any more productive or competitive either. Huggins cited a study showing that Olympic athletes generally had two fillings or less and most had none. Mercury vapor devastated the CNS (central nervous system) and made motor reflex operations inefficient. Tweet
