In reply to What's the deal with silver amalgams?, posted by HyperFocus on January 12, 2009, at 21:50:36
So, my Dad is an Orthopaedic surgeon. When I informed him I tested above normal for mercury and lead, and that the mercury was being blamed on my amalgams, he of course being a scientific medical kind of guy totally laughed at the idea. But open minded as he is, he thought about it, and then went next door to talk to a friend of his who is a lifelong dentist.
The dentist admitted that there is a growing body of evidence of amalgam danger, but that scientific proof was lacking. He said it is a new area of concern. He said that while he personally doubts amalgams are dangerous, he does not use them anymore just to be safe.
From someone who is pro-amalgams, even he said we just don't know, and it is safer to use other substances. Kind of a politically correct answer.
It is hard to ignore the thousands of people who find their mysterious chronic neuropscyhiatric diseases gradually vanish after having amalgams removed, and for many of them, going through chelation therapy to get out the embedded mercury deposits in the body.
There are now thousands of dentists who refuse to use amalgams. And hundreds who specialize in removing it safely. Someone knows more than we do.
Like I said, read Amalgam Illness by PHd Andrew Cutler. The book is cheap enough, but I believe excerpts of it are available on the web.
