Re: Heavy Metals, Mercury and Cancer

[Guest guest]

In regard to amalgam fillings. I went to the dentist years ago to get dental

work done and when the time came to choose the type of filling I told him my

concern about amalgam fillings, He told me " oh we don't do that anymore, those

were done years ago although these are silver filling they are not the amalgam

fillings your thinking about "

Is this true because I currently have 3 big fillings that are silver in color.

Is there a silver filling that I could have gotten that IS NOT the amalgam

people are so concerned with in relation to mercury?

>      Dr. Rashid Buttar testified before congress that “the

association of mercury to chronic diseases is well documented in the didactic

scientific literature. The search for the association between mercury and

cardiovascular disease reveals 358 scientific papers exemplifying the

relationship; between mercury and cancer we find 643 scientific papers. The

association of mercury with neurodegenerative diseases is the most significant,

with the references numbering 1,445.†The official position currently is that

there is “some†evidence that methylmercury can cause cancer in humans.

 The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified

methylmercury as " possibly carcinogenic to humans " .

>      Lead and aluminum are other common heavy metals that have been

shown to dramatically increase the toxicity of mercury. Interestingly, lead is

the final end product of the step by step radioactive decay of uranium, no

wonder it’s so toxic. Medical researchers are still trying to understand the

numerous processes by which various heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium,

arsenic, chromium, etc.) contribute to carcinogenesis but everywhere in

officialdom we find ridiculous doubts about their effects especially when it

comes to mercury and its high state of toxicity.

>      It has been shown that mercury rapidly depletes the immune

system. Mercury has also been shown to induce auto-immune diseases. Anything

that depletes and disturbs the immune system will increase one’s chances of

contracting cancer. Mercury binds with hemoglobin, which is responsible for

oxygen transport to the tissues. This results in less oxygen reaching the

tissues when the body is polluted with mercury. We don’t have to look far in

understanding how a heavy metal like mercury can eventually lead one to

cancer’s door.

>      “There is no safe level of mercury, and no one has actually

shown that there is a safe level,†said Dr. Lars Friberg, Chief Adviser to

the WHO on mercury safety. Survival Medicine for the 21st Century (2,200 page

compendium) has a two hundred page section called The Rising Tide of Mercury

because mercury toxicity needs to be factored into all notions of health and

disease today. According to the observations made by the internationally

recognized medical researcher, Yoshiaki Omura, MD, all cancer cells have

mercury in them.

>      Dr. Hans Nolte wrote, " The wave spectrum of mercury contains

more than thirteen wavelengths, whereas only one or two frequencies or

wavelengths are usually observed for the other heavy or noble metals. " [1] It is

Dr. Nolte's belief that the many harmful effects of mercury could be explained

to some degree on the basis of this great variety of wavelengths. Dr. Omura's

clinical observation concludes that one of the primary reasons cancer returns

is because residual mercury reignites a pathological environment even after

surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and alternative therapies report a positive

effect.

>      There is a growing body of scientific research that suggests

heavy metals contribute to carcinogenesis by inducing/increasing oxidative

stress.[2] Oxidative stress damages DNA and can lead to mutations which promote

cancer.[3],[4],[5] Heavy metals also disrupt the process of Apoptosis

(programmed cell death).[6] Apoptosis is vital for safe removal of

sick/unhealthy cells, including cells that may become cancerous.

>      Heavy metals create contaminated environments both inside and

outside the cells. These environments attract all kinds of pathogens †"

viruses, bacteria and fungi. Some say many cancers are caused by infections

others say cancer is an infection and others will insist until they reach their

graves that cancer is strictly human cells running amuck with their DNA gone

crazy. That many doctors believe this it does not make it true.

>      Our definition of cancer is a little more broad minded than

blaming malfunctioning human DNA as the sole cause of cancer. Cancer is a prime

example of how heavy metal toxicity, free radical damage, pathogen infection,

mineral and vitamin deficiencies, inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction,

immune system depression, genetic mutation, cell wall damage and oxidative

stress all come together into an end stage life threatening condition. Cancer

treatment can be approached in many ways but the best way would be to address

all these problems simultaneously.

>      Mercury vapors in the mouth which spreads mercury to all points

in the body, increased use of antibiotics, periodontal disease, inappropriate

oral care, yeast and fungal overgrowth, and decreasing immune strength are all

colliding and reinforcing each other in a downward spiral that leads to chronic

diseases and cancer. Each year in the U.S. an estimated 40 tons of mercury are

used to prepare mercury-amalgam dental restorations. Scientific studies have

concluded that the amalgam is the source for more than two thirds of the

mercury in our human population. On a daily basis each amalgam releases on the

order of 10 micrograms of mercury into the body. This mercury either

accumulates in the body or is excreted via urine and feces into our wastewater

systems.

>      Dentists and their parent dental associations are loath to

inform patients that the mercury they place in the mouth is a deadly poison

that negatively influences not only their oral environments but total body

physiology as well. This is a shame that the majority of dentists will take to

their grave. “Mercury is one of the most potent chemical inhibitors of

thiol-sensitive enzymes and mercury vapour easily penetrates into the central

nervous system,†writes Dr. Boyd Haley who goes on to say, “Amalgams leak

mercury, this is a fact that any chemistry department can confirm. We have made

amalgam fillings outside of the mouth, placed these fillings in sterile water

for 15 minutes to several hours. We then tested this water for toxicity to

tubulin and creatine kinase. The result was that the solutions in which

amalgams were soaked (even for fifteen minutes) were extremely toxic. This work

is supported by reports doing similar

solutions in which amalgams were soaked as being ‘extremely cytotoxic.’

>      Dr. Hal A. Huggins stated that amalgam fillings can devastate

human health. The most common form of exposure to mercury is by inhalation of

vapor and there is widespread general agreement that this leads to a slowly

developing and insidious poisoning, which at first yields psychic and other

general effects that are vague and difficult to diagnose. Yet dentists have

continued to expose children to the toxic effects of mercury.
