Mercury fillings - The Facts
Mercury is the most toxic non radio-active element on the earth!
Many people do not realise that silver amalgam fillings are 50% mercury. A large filling may contain as much mercury as a thermometer. Vapour is easily released at room temperature which is odourless, tasteless and colourless - when inhaled is readily absorbed into the blood stream.
Due to its poisonous nature, mercury can adversely affect the immune, urinary, cardiac, respiratory and digestive systems. Mercury vapour is continuously emitted from dental fillings and accumulated in the body over time, but the damaging effects of this exposure may not manifest for years or decades. Studies repeatedly demonstrate that even low levels of mercury cause measurable adverse health effects.
