Mercury in dental fillings not risky, officials say
The U.S. government declared that silver dental fillings contain too little mercury to harm the millions of Americans who have had cavities filled with them.
MSNBC Says…
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Permissible Exposure Limit Says
EXPOSURE LIMITS
* OSHA PEL The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure limit (PEL) for mercury vapor is 0.1 milligram per cubic meter (mg/m(3)) of air as a ceiling limit. A worker’s exposure to mercury vapor shall at no time exceed this ceiling level.
* NIOSH REL
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has established a recommended exposure limit (REL) for mercury vapor of 0.05 mg/m(3) as a TWA for up to a 10-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek. NIOSH also assigns a “Skin” notation, which indicates that the cutaneous route of exposure, including mucous membranes and eyes, contributes to overall exposure [NIOSH 1992].
* Rationale for Limits
The NIOSH limit is based on the risk of central nervous system damage, eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation [NIOSH 1992].
Enter the machine that measures the Mercury in your mouth after you chew for 10 minutes. It will read way over the acceptable limit. The reason is that it is measuring the air in your mouth (about 1 cup) rather than the air in a room, 1 cubic meter of air.
But wait, if it is in your mouth, are not the mucous membranes the fastest route to the blood next to direct IV. So, if you are getting any exposure, it could be too much.
I can see it now.
“Hey mom, can I sprinkle a little arsenic on my meat?”
No honey, it is poisonous
Yea but this is within the safe limits of how much poison I can have according to the Federal Government.
Oh, all right. Go ahead, but do not over do it, you don’t want to get sick now.
Mercury in the Pee
What about the Urine studies. So many people, so little mercury. True, what mercury we pee may be under safe limits threshold, but here is a question for you. How much mercury do you excrete that is stored in your body? Answer, very little, unless your trying to get it out.
So does lack of mercury in your pee mean you do not have a lot in you?
The body does not like to give it up unless your actively boosting your glutathione, one of the ways we get rid of the mercury stored in our organs.
Oh, and the pink in the sink. Turns out, that is one of the symptoms of mercury toxicity according to OSHA. Your gingivitis and bleeding gum’s may be from the mercury. At least that is one of the symptoms of mercury toxicity according the the above agency. So, the pink in the sink club may just be because of the mercury in your mouth.
What about the fact that mercury is an allergen for some. It results in sinus problems and lichenoid lesions. American Dental Association (ADA) has stated that there are…
fewer than 100 cases of mercury hypersensitivity reported in the medical literature.
Don’t take my word for it. Here, let me quote it…
Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to amalgam?
Only a very small number of people are allergic to amalgam fillings. Fewer than 100 cases have ever been reported. In these rare instances, mercury may trigger an allergic response. Symptoms of amalgam allergy are very similar to a typical skin allergy.
Often patients who are truly allergic to amalgam have a medical or family history of allergies to metals. If there is a confirmed allergy, another restorative material will be used.
No, lets not take any chances here. Check out the actual article.
ADA American Dental Association Oral Health Topics A-Z you can read it for yourself.
100 huh?
One study in the Netherlands had 60 patients.
Another Czech Study had 35 patients.
See that number and Germany raises by 19
Add another 19 from Australia
Things that make you go hmmm. If I can in a few minutes find this many, how did they come up with the only 100 in literature they claim. If they made a mistake about this, could they be wrong about other things involving scientific studies?
One study in 1995 alone found almost 100 such cases. In less than 15 minutes I found over 300 reported cases. Not exactly an exhaustive search, considering it was only on PubMed.
Now, there are numerous debates on both sides of this. Having your fillings taken out will not make everyone feel better. If however you are having problems and cannot find any other cause, then this is one thing you can take care of and rule out.
If the ADA is right, you have nothing to lose if you leave the silver in the mouth.
If the ADA is wrong, chances are you will be one of the lucky ones. You will get Alzheimer’s or some other disease of the future and you will not remember.
The irony is that amalgam replacement probably helps only in a fraction of all cases! It is still essential to remove the mercury from the organs that store it within your body.
More on the controversy.
Learn how to boost your glutathione and get the mercury out!
One parting thought…since it destroys brain cells, maybe that is why some promote amalgam fillings. Their brains are fried.
Good Health to you and yours.
