Mercury dental fillings and CFS

[Guest guest]

Clarification:

Mercury is found in the earth's crust and is ubiquitous in the

environment, so even without amalgam restorations everyone is exposed

to small but measurable amount of mercury in blood and urine. Dental

amalgam restorations may raise these levels slightly, but this may

have no practical or clinical significance as the exposure is only

when adding or removing the fillings. Most human exposure currently

results from fish consumption with a smaller amount consumed in

herbal/fish oil supplements.

Although there is considerable evidence of the toxicity of mercury in

large exposures the scientific evidence linking dental fillings and

most diseases is sparse at this time - this includes ME and CFS. As

for herbs offsetting mercury toxicity there is little or no evidence

in the scientific literature database.
