Study proves what was ‘all in your mind’ was really all in your mouth
For as long as I can remember the FDA has told us that dental amalgam (mercury) fillings are “safe and effective.”
Why, they have been used for over 150 years! That must make them okay, right?
But the biggest argument thrown at us by the FDA, CDC and dental groups is that there’s no scientific evidence to show otherwise.
Well, they can’t say that anymore.
That’s because a big study has proven once and for all what happens when you put one of the most poisonous elements known to man inside your mouth.
The feds sure don’t have their act together when it comes to mercury.
Take the EPA for example. It advises us that if we break a CFL bulb, which contains a tiny bit of the substance, that everyone, pets included, should immediately evacuate the room until it’s aired out and cleaned up.
But as for putting mercury directly into our mouths, well that’s perfectly fine and dandy!
Only it really isn’t.
For years now, people have been finding that once their amalgams, or silver fillings (which are 50 percent mercury) have been removed, they’ve had “amazing recoveries” from conditions ranging from MS to Alzheimer’s.
People like Elena, who had been suffering from various, debilitating health problems for decades, and was on a “downward spiral.” She finally put two and two together when she found that her blood mercury levels were off the charts. And sure enough — after having her amalgam fillings removed, all her health problems cleared up.
I could tell you similar stories all day long.
But despite all that, our government kowtowed to special interests such as the American Dental Association when it came to amalgams.
People like Elena were told their problems were all in their mind, but it turns out it was all in their mouth.
Now, a big study from researchers at the University of Georgia have found that if you have eight or more amalgam fillings, you’ve got 150 percent more mercury in your blood than someone without them.
While other studies on blood mercury levels have been done, they were called “inconsistent and limited.” But not this one.
The Georgia researchers crunched the data on close to 15,000 people, and the results were crystal clear.
Plus that, the scientists found that amalgam fillings expose us to methyl mercury, the deadliest kind. And it doesn’t take a lot of it to damage your brain, heart, kidneys and lungs.
Last year I told you how an urgent warning drafted five years ago by FDA scientists should have put the brakes on amalgams once and for all. It warned that these fillings shouldn’t be used on nursing moms, pregnant women, kids under six or anyone with kidney or brain problems.
In fact, it advised dentists to just stop using them!
But the warning was hidden away by the Department of Health and Human Services and forbidden to be published.
Look, by now we have enough evidence to tell us once and for all that mercury fillings aren’t safe for anyone. And certainly asking for composite fillings for yourself or family members is easy enough.
But what isn’t so simple is what to do with the amalgams already in your mouth.
Don’t let a dentist just start drilling them out. That can send even more mercury right into your bloodstream. You’ll need to find a dentist that’s experienced in removing amalgam fillings and who uses protective measures.
That would include things such as a rubber dam around the tooth and making sure the fillings are as cool as possible during the removal process, as heating amalgams releases a lot of mercury vapor.
But having them removed right might just be one of the best things you can do for your overall health.
