"Autopsy studies have shown a positive correlation between the number of occlusal (where teeth fit together) surfaces of dental amalgam and mercury levels in the brain and kidney cortex. Research has also shown mercury dental amalgam to have an adverse effect on the T-lymphocyte count (a vital component of the immune system). With the concern about the immune system diseases of today [SARS, AIDS], does it make sense using a dental amalgam material that may have a drastic effect on one's defense system?

`Multiple Sclerosis patients have been found to have eight times higher levels of mercury in the cerebral spinal fluid compared to neurologically healthy controls. Inorganic mercury is capable of producing symptoms which are indistinguishable from those of multiple sclerosis. Is it possible that the mouths of some 80% of Americans with amalgam fillings are toxic waste dumps?

`Dentists have the highest suicide and divorce rate of all professionals. Neuro-psychological dysfunction was present in 90% of dentists tested by Joel Butler, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of North Texas.

`Another alarm: Female dental hygienists have a higher spontaneous abortion rate, an increased incidence of premature labor, and an elevated perinatal mortality. The neonatal blood of these women who were exposed to mercury while working in dental offices was found to contain significantly higher mercury levels than in control women with no occupational exposure to mercury.

`Another concern: Why do dentists, according to the insurance industry, have one of the highest utilization rates of medical insurance? Dr. Magnus Nylander published a report in The Lancet describing an increased uptake of mercury in the pituitary glands of dentists.

`Just because over 100 million people have mercury fillings in their mouths [what a tragedy?], we must not assume that this is medically safe. A report which appeared in a Swedish newspaper in May 1987, stated "The Swedish Health Board declares amalgam toxic and unsuitable as a dental filling material." ' [The latter-mentioned report was later challenged in public hearings and was upheld.] (Racketeering In Medicine, Dr James P. Carter, M.D.; Dr. P.H., pp.62-63)

Extract From The Book
Toxic Metal Syndrome
by Dr. H. Richard Casdorph & Dr. Morton Walker, pg.147

`In 1979, dental researchers at the University of Iowa, using the sensitive new measurement techniques, found that chewing does release tiny amounts of mercury vapor from fillings. This finding ran counter to the prevailing belief that no vapor escapes once amalgam has hardened. When scientists took a closer look, they discovered that people with amalgam fillings had more mercury in their blood and urine than did those without. The fluid levels correlate with the size and number of fillings, too. Autopsy studies showed, as well, that there is more mercury in the brain tissue of corpses with amalgams. These are clear indications that mercury liberated from fillings finds its way into body tissues. It brings about toxic effects in the brain and nervous system.'
