Mercury Poisoning Information
The use of mercury amalgam fillings is an issue which divides the dental profession, but countries such as Sweden and Austria have already banned them. In UK, the BDA (British Dental Association) insist they are "perfectly safe" and amalgam has been used effectively, safely and COST-EFFECTIVELY for more than 150 years. (Incidentally, DDT, lead paint and asbestos were also considered "safe" at one stage!)
I have received many letters from people whose lives have been ruined by their mercury amalgam fillings.
It's colourless, odorless and tasteless but if any of you have any doubt at all that mercury vapour is being continually released from your dental amalgams I recommend you watch the following video.
Smoking Tooth – Mercury Vapour
Alzheimer's, Dementia and the Flu Vaccine
Alzheimer's and dementia are on the increase and it is estimated the rates will triple by the year 2050. In UK (2007) there were 750,000 sufferers and that number is expected to increase to 1,000,000 by 2027.
Even low level mercury exposure has been proven to be a factor in the the degenerative process of the brain. Many people are advised to have the flu vaccine. This contains a preservative known as thimerosal (or thiomersal) which is a mercury derivative.
One study has indicated people who have the flu vaccine four years in a row are ten times more likely to get Alzheimer's.
Watch the following amusing, but serious, video to see what you are actually taking when you offer up your arm for the flu injection, and how mercury affects the brain.

Despite the protestations of government and dental authorities that amalgam must be safe because it's been used for over 150 years, patients KNOW otherwise. There is just too much 'anecdotal evidence' proving that safe removal of mercury has a beneficial effect on health.
Please read the following articles and take action if you even remotely suspect you could be suffering from mercury poisoning or mercury toxicity. The title doesn't matter - the results are still the same.
Here are two articles I've written about mercury poisoning from dental amalgam. It's a contentious subject which provokes a lot of debate but until you've actually suffered from it and experienced the health benefits from removal of mercury you can't make an informed decision. I have and know my booksAutism, Amalgam and Me - Jodi's Journey Continues and Mercury Poisoning - It's Not In Our Heads Any More - Jodi's Journey Goes On
will help a lot of people.
"Many thanks for your interesting site and your words of support.They meant a lot to me. I have been very ill for 20 years (now aged 45) and am in the process of having my 16 amalgams removed. Thank you also for your advice. Thankfully I am seeing a very experienced dentist who has been doing amalgam removals for 25 years. I am following the chelation recommended. I have had 14 fillings removed already and only 2 to go. I realise this is just the start of it!.... How wonderful that people have got better. I don't expect ever to be really well but just to be able to have back some pleasures in life would be great. I have had such horrendous problems with being on morphine for 5 years, inability to sit, having to use a wheelchair, horrendous pain in various parts of my body and even burning in my mouth. I questioned that it could be something to do with my mouth years ago!" A PP - UK
Mercury - What Your Dentist Doesn't Tell You
Copyright - Jean Shaw
My grandmother is 92 years old and has a fantastic memory. She cooks herself a meal every day – meat and fresh vegetables. Rarely, if ever, does she have prepacked packaged food. She also has false teeth.
I wish I had false teeth.
In my grandmother’s day people didn’t have fillings if they had toothache Instead their teeth were extracted – usually at home and yes, they did tie a piece of string to the door knob. For their twenty first birthday those whose family could afford it were given a set (or two) of false teeth.
I wish I’d had a set of false teeth for my 21st birthday.
I make that statement because I am one of the 3% of the population which the British Dental Authority admit to suffering mercury sensitivity. And if you are wondering what that has to do with teeth it’s because dental amalgam contains 50% mercury, the second most toxic substance on the planet and the only metal that evapourates at room temperature? The remaining 50% comprises a mixture of silver, tin, copper and zinc.
Amalgam has been used for dental amalgam fillings since the early 1800’s and even then there were doubts as to its safety. Infact in USA they had what became known as the Amalgam Wars and in 1845 a resolution was passed pronouncing the use of amalgam as “malpractice”.
Originally amalgam was made out of a paste of filings from silver coins and mercury. The problem was that the impurities in the coins made it expand and crack the teeth. Hence the new mixture.
You may not know anything about science but when various metals get put together they can react in different ways. Metals corrode especially when they are exposed to moisture and for some strange reason these toxic ones are put in our mouths.
Mercury is incredibly dangerous. The Egyptians used it to repel tomb raiders and warnings are always given not to breathe it in or ingest it. It used to be used in the hat making process and many people went mad. Mercury toxicity is often referred to as Mad Hatter’s Disease. Remember the character in Alice in Wonderland?
"I had two teeth in the lower jaw filled with the silver permanent filling some 3 or 4 years back and during that time I got frequent throat infections. I took courses of antibiotics each time I got an infection. Now I have problems like chronic fatigue, difficulty in personal relationships, maintaining eye contact with people, itching, candida, constipation/diarrhoea. I'm sure it's my teeth" SR - India
Mercury is used in fillings because it is incredibly durable, easy to place and cheap, and because it was used long before there were any safety regulatory bodies people just assumed it was safe.
However, mercury is dangerous. It is toxic and even dentists have to use it with care. In the 1980’s dentists were given 15 recommendations of mercury hygiene for their protection. These included working in a well-ventilated area, avoiding heating mercury or amalgam, using a no-touch technique for handling amalgam, storing mercury in unbreakable, tightly sealed containers, alerting all personnel of the potential hazard of mercury vapour and getting anyone regularly employed in a dentist office to have an annual mercury check up.
Seemingly the scrap amalgam (the bit left over after the filling is placed) was considered dangerous and yet the exact same amalgam placed in the mouth was okay. Doesn’t that seem strange to you?
Dentists will understandably deny amalgam can be dangerous and yet as a “precautionary measure” they no longer use it on children, pregnant women or nursing mothers. You see mercury vapour gets into the bloodstream and can pass into the foetus through the umbilical chord and also via a mothers milk.
Mercury Poisoning is invisible and is caused when the body is unable to get rid of the continual production of mercury vapour. It builds up over a period of time and compromises the immune system and as it is not contagious it doesn’t have to be reported. It is therefore difficult to assess just how many people are affected. Often it is misdiagnosed as the syptoms are vague and could be attributed to many different things. It is also very difficult to test for.
Until recently doctors dismissed mercury poisoning caused by dental amalgam as nonsense but increasingly there is more awareness. You may even find yourself being asked if you’ve had any dental work done recently if you display an increasing amount of inexplicable symptoms.
If you do need to replace your fillings because of mercury toxicity please do it SAFELY. Removing it can be very dangerous and make you even more ill.
As I said, I wish I had false teeth

Mercury Poisoning – Yes, Your Teeth May Indeed Be Killing You
Copyright - Jean Shaw
I don't know about you but I consider myself to be fairly energy conscious. I switch off lights when not in use, don't overfill the kettle and never leave the television or computer on standby. However, I must confess I don't have many energy efficient light bulbs yet, although I understand in a few years there won't be any others. People are already hoarding them away. Maybe they'll become collectors' items. Just make sure you keep the box, as apparently that's the important bit. Well, at least it is on auction and antique shows.
Anyway, the main reason I don't use energy efficient light bulbs (apart from the expense) is they are too long and unsightly. They simply won't fit in my down lighters and in the fittings where I have a normal shade, or none at all, they look ridiculous. Also, they take a long time to get bright enough to see anything.
However, I now have another reason for avoiding them as long as possible, and that is mercury. It's recently been disclosed they contain this dangerous heavy metal and if one should break in a normal house, the advice is that everyone should be evacuated. That may sound extreme to some, but not to me. You see, I had mercury poisoning and now know quite a bit about it.
I know fluorescent tubes contain mercury and are considered "hazardous waste" by Environment agencies. The companies that dispose of them have to wear special safety clothing. I also know small domestic barometers are disappearing fast and already hospitals have replaced their mercury filled thermometers.
There are various sources of mercury apart from fluorescent and energy saving lights including, but not limited to, batteries, body creams, cosmetics, crematoria, diuretics, fabric softeners, felt, floor waxes, fungicides, pesticides, industrial waste, laxatives, paints, photo engraving, psoriatic ointments, seafood, sewage disposal, skin lightening cream, tanning leather, tattooing. However, the main culprits and the ones, which affected me, are vaccines and dental amalgam.
Mercury is the second most toxic substance on the planet after plutonium and it makes up 50% of every amalgam filling. Did you know your teeth could be killing you? Don't laugh – it isn't funny and unfortunately for many it's a very real situation. Believe me, I know.
I've had letters from people all over the world suffering from the condition and only last week I was speaking to a 54-year-old builder who was terrified because he'd just been told he had mercury poisoning. He'd had extensive filling replacement done seven months ago and his health has been deteriorating ever since.
He's very weak, incredibly forgetful and panics about silly things. They are classic early symptoms, but unfortunately as neither the medical nor dental professions acknowledge mercury poisoning caused by amalgam fillings, it often gets misdiagnosed. Usually patients are led to believe they are either losing their mind, or are written off as complete hypochondriacs. Both are wrong.
Mercury poisoning is very difficult to diagnose because no two people will present with the same problems, and unfortunately it is hard to test for. Mercury only stays in the blood stream for a short transit period so blood tests are inconclusive. As mercury is a fat binding toxin, it attaches itself to the fatty organs in your body, and depending on which one (or ones) it selects, the health signs and symptoms of something not being right will appear. Unless you are offered some form of chelation to get the mercury back into your blood stream, the only other real test mainstream medicine can offer would be by doing a biopsy. Needless to say there aren't many people wishing to undergo one of those.
I know of people who have been completely bedridden because of mercury poisoning, and many have wished to die. Some have.
As I said, mercury poisoning is no joke. If someone says to you they think their teeth are poisoning them, don't just dismiss them as being crazy. Believe them and offer support. What do you think was wrong with The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland?
Yes – Mercury Poisoning!
There are tests available and with the right help and support, mercury-poisoning symptoms can disappear. It's a long process though. Just don't give up.
"Years ago I had a crown and large fillings put in my teeth. Ever since I have had a metal taste when I drink hot liquids, etc. and a tingling feel on my tongue. Also I get spots with raised edges on them (this gets worse when I talk a lot, rubs my tongue) I complained to my dentist and he said I had geographic tongue and it was NOT the dental work. He said it was harmless and no big deal. Many doctors have also told me that. Now I am multiple chemically sensitive. Cannot tolerate perfume, gas smells, rubber, etc.etc......" MW, USA
Mercury is the second most toxic substance on our planet and mercury poisoning or mercury toxicity as it is generally known is more common than you might think.
