Re: 3 amalgams out & what happened next.
Some mercury in the brain formed a selenium-mercury pair that was identified as nontoxic. Selenium was seen to delay the onset of neurological symptoms in inorganic (mehg) poisoning, but did not stop the symptoms from occurring. Selenium was not recommended for clinical use as selenium/selenide is toxic.
In some DAMS literature, most people reported memory improved after
Amalgam removal indicating a removal of the neurotoxin mercury vapor and subsequent healing. There was one study about someone exposed to acute mercury poisoning in an accident who ten years later died and the autopsy revealed high levels of mercury in the brain. The study did not indicate whether or not the subject had
Amalgam fillings or ate seafood frequently ... thus it was inferred mercury remains in the brain a long time. Have read that older people had higher levels of mercury in tissue than younger people, it is probable after long term "low level" chronic exposure to mercury(vapor), the mercury was deposited faster than it could be removed. There were several possible reactions for the removal of mercury from the body. The evidence of neurotoxicity of mercury vapor has been established. Some people are allergic to mercury to point that mercury tattoos (red tattoo) caused a rash to form over the red parts of the tattoo. Some people who took mercury pills to try to fight syphillis and mercury smelter workers developed a red rash over the face, nose, and body. This incidence was higher than in the population of people without exposure to mercury. There were symptoms associated with exposure to mercury vapor that occurred in greater numbers amongst those exposed to hg vapor than in the population not exposed to concentrated mercury vapors.
