Why do Quackwatch / Dental Shills Keep Lying about Amalgam Dangers????
 

A vast amount of the Propaganda and other disinformation on the
internet centers around the Healthfraud/quackwatch front groups ...
it's time to expose their lies:

Abstract

20 000 subjects were enrolled in a large-scale field study to
determine the concentration of total mercury in saliva. A statistical
relationship was found between the mercury concentration in the
pre-chewing saliva and chewing saliva, and the number of amalgam
fillings. The mean number of amalgam fillings was 9 and the median
mercury concentration was 11.6 µg/l in the pre-chewing saliva and 29.3
µg/l in the chewing saliva, which is considerably higher than reported
in most previous publications. Extrapolation to the uptake of total
mercury per week has shown that the provisional tolerable weekly
intake (PTWI) value of the WHO is exceeded in at least 30% of the
subjects.

1. Introduction

In the second half of the last century, the "first amalgam war" was
fought in the USA for various reasons 1. The aim was to prevent
charlatans also using this simple technique. The amalgams used at the
time released very high quantities of mercury and "miracle cures" in
patients with chronic diseases after removal of the amalgam fillings
raised doubts about the material. A short "second amalgam war" was
then started by the German chemist Alfred Stock 2, who drew attention
to the fact that mercury is continuously released from fillings and
may possibly be associated with a number of disease symptoms 3. The
discussion of amalgam was renewed in the 80s when manifestations of
the corrosion of amalgam were investigated 4-12. Ionic binding forms
(Hg2+, Hg22+) and mercury complexes with natural substances were of
prime interest. Attention has been paid primarily since the end of the
80s to the release of mercury vapour Hgo 13-22. In recent years,
saliva in its property as solutizer and transport medium for mercury
in its various binding forms has been increasingly taken into account
23-29, 42.

Gerhard 30, 31 has drawn attention to the relationship between
infertility, polycystic ovaries, hormone disorders, loss of hair in
women and heavy metal burden. Investigations at the Laboratory for
Reproduction Toxicology at the Tübingen Women's Hospital on the
influence of heavy metals on humans reproduction have shown that
female patients with amalgam fillings have a considerably higher
mercury concentration in the follicular fluid than in those without
amalgam fillings 32. To test the possible toxic actions of mercury on
hormone producing cells, human granulosa cells were cultured. It was
found that the hormone synthesis was significantly reduced already at
a relatively low mercury concentration, while the cell vitality was
almost unaffected 33, 34. For further insight into the relationships
between amalgam fillings, mercury concentration in the saliva and
fertility, a large-scale field study using saliva analyses was carried
out. In the present report, the results of mercury concentrations are
presented. In a second publication correlations between symptoms of
health and amalgam fillings will be shown.

Than you, again, IIean, I knew Dr Haley was updating his website, was
wonderful research he has done!

God Bless him!

Was there an apology for calling those with autism "Mad Child Disease"??????

If not, then he is still a meanie.
