Beware Your Mercury Fillings

Read More About Health

A friend of mine noticed that one of her two remaining mercury amalgam fillings (silver fillings) in her mouth had a small hole in the center of it. She also had a metallic taste in her mouth, was more fatigued than usual, and was not sleeping well.

She went to the dentist as soon as possible. He suspected that there was an infection below her root canal. This type of mild, yet ongoing, infection is a common health problem that can go undetected, putting a strain on your immune system.

But my friend insisted that it was the tooth right next to the tooth with the root canal that was the problem.

To my amazement, the dentist asked her to touch the tooth that she suspected, and he tested her arm using Applied Kinesiology. (This is the same muscle-testing technique that I teach for detecting food sensitivities.) Then he had her touch the other tooth that he suspected, the one right next to it that has a root canal and cap.

He concurred that the silver (mercury amalgam) filling appeared to be the problem.

The dentist proceeded to remove the last two silver fillings in her mouth. Upon further research, I found that it is usually mercury amalgam fillings that are put under capped or crowned teeth. So, my friend still has one silver filling in her mouth under a cap, on the same tooth that has a root canal. Often, the best thing for one's health may be to remove the whole tooth, as hidden infections can be present under root canals. These hidden infections can compromise your immune system.

Mercury fillings, I'm told, must be disposed of as toxic waste after a dentist removes them. If you have mercury fillings, each time you chew or grind your teeth you are potentially ingesting more poison. The mercury builds up in your brain, pituitary, adrenals, and other parts of the body. Excess mercury in the body is said to contribute to Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's, IBS, allergies, and many other diseases.

Mercury from amalgam fillings can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and immune systems of children.

In one study, there was a link from mercury fillings to gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, concentration problems, memory disturbances, lack of initiative, restlessness, bleeding gums and other mouth disorders.

If you are afraid of going to the dentist and don't want to get mercury fillings removed, consider how much your health may be suffering every day versus suffering just a few hours in a dentist chair.

Please look at having your silver fillings taken out. There are dentists who specialize in mercury amalgam filling removal, in order to prevent further poisoning during the removal process.

Take it slowly, and get your silver fillings replaced with white fillings as they go bad to have them covered by insurance, or as you can afford it. But, please, do see your dentist twice a year to prevent major problems in your mouth that can affect your overall health.
