Horrors Of Metal Dentistry

Horrors Of Metal Dentistry

Why are highly toxic metals put in materials for our mouths?
Because not everyone agrees on what is toxic at what level. Just
decades ago lead was commonly found in paint, and until
recently in gasoline. Lead was not less toxic then, we were just
less informed! The government sets standards of toxicity, but
those “standards” change as more research is done (and more
people speak out). You can do better than the government by
dropping your standard for toxic metals to zero! Simply remove
them.
The debate still rages over mercury amalgam fillings. No one
disputes the extreme toxicity of mercury compounds and mercury
vapor. The ADA feels that mercury amalgam fillings are safe
because they do not vaporize or form toxic compounds to a
significant degree. Opponents cite scientific studies that
implicate mercury amalgams as disease causing. Many dentists
advocate mercury amalgam fillings simply because they are accepted
by the ADA, which they believe protects them from
malpractice litigation. Why risk your health and life on their
opinions? Remember everything corrodes and everything seeps,
so amalgams must too.

Cadmium is used to make the pink color in dentures! Cadmium
is five times as toxic as lead, and is strongly linked to high
blood pressure.
Occasionally, thallium and germanium are found together in
mercury amalgam tooth fillings. Thallium causes leg pain, leg
weakness, and paraplegia. If you are in a wheelchair without a
very reliable diagnosis, have all the metal removed from your
mouth. Ask the dentist to give you the grindings. Try to have them
analyzed for thallium using the most sensitive methods available,
possibly at a research institute or university.
I was astonished to find thallium in mercury amalgams! It
couldn't be put there intentionally, look how toxic it is:
TEJ500 HR: 3
THALLIUM COMPOUNDS
Thallium and its compounds are on the Community Right To
Know List.
THR: Extremely toxic. The lethal dose for a man by ingestion
is 0.5-1.0 gram. Effects are cumulative and with continuous
exposure toxicity occurs at much lower levels. Major effects are
on the nervous system, skin and cardiovascular tract. The peripheral
nervous system can be severely affected with dying-back of
the longest sensory and motor fibers. Reproductive organs and
the fetus are highly susceptible. Acute poisoning has followed
the ingestion of toxic quantities of a thallium-bearing depilatory
and accidental or suicidal ingestion of rat poison. Acute
poisoning results in swelling of the feet and legs, arthralgia,
vomiting, insomnia, hyperesthesia and paresthesia [numbness] of
the hands and feet, mental confusion, polyneuritis with severe
pains in the legs and loins, partial paralysis of the legs with
reaction of degeneration, angina-like pains, nephritis, wasting
and weakness, and lymphocytosis and eosinophilia. About the
18th day, complete loss of the hair on the body and head may
occur. Fatal poisoning has been known to occur. Recovery
requires months and may be incomplete. Industrial poisoning is
reported to have caused discoloration of the hair (which later
falls out), joint pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, severe pain in the
calves of the legs, albuminuria, eosinophilia, lymphocytosis and
optic neuritis followed by

atrophy. Cases of industrial poisoning are rare, however. Thallium
is an experimental teratogen [used to induce birth defects
for study]. When heated to decomposition they [sic] emit highly
toxic fumes of Tl [thallium]. See also THALLIUM and specific
compounds.24

Thallium pollution frightens me more than lead, cadmium and
mercury combined, because it is completely unsuspected. Its last
major use, rat poison, was banned in the 1970s. Every
wheelchair patient I tested was positive for thallium! One current
use for thallium is in Arctic/Antarctic thermostats. When added
to mercury the mercury will stay liquid at lower temperatures.
Are mercury suppliers then providing the dental industry with
tainted amalgam?
The cancer causing or carcinogenic action of metals has been
studied for a long time, although it doesn't get attention by our
regulatory agencies. A scientific book on this subject was
published in 1980.25 One table from this book is shown on page
431. We can see that chromium and nickel compounds are the
most carcinogenic metals. Nickel is used in gold crowns, braces,
and children's crowns!
Note that the form of the metal is very important. For instance
chromium is an essential element of glucose tolerance

factor, but most of its other compounds are extremely toxic. In
general, xenobiotic compounds (foreign) are
to be avoided! Metal doesn't belong in our
foods or in our bodies.
