This can definitely happen if proper safety measures are not taken, and most

run of the mill dentists have no clue about how to remove them safely.

>>>HUGGINS PROTOCO

>>>FATHER OF THE MERCURY-FREE DENTISTRY MOVEMENT

HAL HUGGINS, D.D.S., University of Nebraska School of Dentistry, also

obtained a post doctoral masters degree in Immunology and Toxicology from

the University of Colorado. Over the past 36 years, he has developed a

multidisciplined approach for treating autoimmune diseases caused by dental

fillings, root canals, and crown materials.Dr. Huggins has been one of the

principal voices against mercury-amalgam dental fillings, blaming them for a

host of autoimmune diseases. Under attack from American medical authorities,

in 1999 Dr. Huggins assisted Morales, D.D.S. in building the Center

for Progressive Medicine in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Dr. Huggins has

published more than 50 articles on nutrition, child development, mercury

toxicity, root canals and cavities. He has also authored three books: Why

Raise Ugly Kids? (1981), It's All In Your Head (1984), and Uninformed

Consent (1999). This book identifies many new aspects of dental toxicity,

including birth defects, leukemia and breast cancer.

http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/Huggins.htm

1. Become educated on the topic of dental toxicity. Read Dr. Huggins' books,

It's All in Your Head, or Uniformed Consent (available for order in the

Resources section of hugnet.com), or one of the many other books on the

subject now appearing in the bookstores.

2. After you are familiar with the protocol, interview a dentist and other

therapists to see if you can assemble an adequate team to do the treatment

that you have selected.

3. In the dental office, expect a dental examination that includes hard

(teeth) and soft (gums and neck areas) tissue evaluations. X-rays will be

taken to locate decayed teeth, defective fillings, missing teeth,

cavitations, root canal or dead teeth. Models of your teeth may be taken at

this time for an evaluation of your bite, and to be used by the laboratory

to fabricate replacements for any missing teeth that might be removed during

these procedures.

4. He/she will also take electrical readings on your fillings and crowns in

order to determine the sequential order in which the restorations should be

replaced.

5. Your case physician can write prescriptions for blood drawing for the

following items:

o blood serum for the chemistry analysis from which your intake of

carbohydrate, fat and protein can be determined. In other words, a

scientific basis for your individual diet.

o the CBC, or complete blood count. This shows the red and white blood cells

that are generally altered by the presence of mercury and root canals. From

these tests information on how your immune system is functioning can be

gleaned, and how removal of dental interference can re-ignite proper immune

function. [ If you would like blood drawn for testing, please have your own

physician do it, as we have no case physician at our clinic].

o serum is also drawn to be sent to a special laboratory for what is called

the compatibility test. This shows which dental materials interfere with

your specific immune function, and which ones can more safely be used in

your mouth (more immune compatible with your immune system).  [please see

above for biocompatibility testing and follow the instructions if you wish

to get this test.  We like to have results 2 weeks prior to your

appointment.  This test is a personal choice not mandatory for us to do your

dental work].

6. A sample of your hair from the nape of the neck will be taken (probably

best by your barber or beautician) to be sent to another special laboratory

for analysis of minerals. Some minerals, like lead, mercury and cadmium, are

toxic. Others, like sodium, potassium and calcium are compared to blood

tests for the same mineral in order to be able to interpret the real

condition of your body in this area. There is a direct relationship between

blood and hair analysis- which shows us that high levels are not necessarily

indicative of high tissue levels, and the same for low levels. These results

may be totally the opposite from conventional wisdom in people with cellular

transport problems caused by dental toxins. [We do not take lab samples

here.  If you wish to have these tests, please consult your own physician].

7. Plan your treatment jointly with the dentist, physician, IV personnel,

acupressurist, nutritionist, detoxification doctor and other health

professionals so that the timing of events complement each other, and do not

interfere with final results.

8. .... Be sure to get all of the " removal " appointments (amalgam, nickel

crowns and root canals) accomplished within a 30-day period or less if at

all possible.

9. If you are using Intravenous Conscious Sedation, then there is generally

only one removal appointment, and it can be 6 or 8 hours long without a

problem. Since IV sedation gives a time compression and amnesia, you won't

really care how long you have been there. ....

10. Sequential removal of the fillings requires that the quadrant containing

the highest negative current filling be removed first. Then the quadrant

with the next highest electrical charge is next.  ....

11. Start your nutritional program based on your blood chemistry

interpretations as soon as is feasible in the program. The amounts of

carbohydrate, protein and fat intake are suggested with the first blood

test, and a more refined diet can be determined with follow-up blood tests

to check for individual overdoses, under doses or being right on target. 

[This is the Huggins nutrition plan.  Please do whatever you are comfortable

with].

12. .... Needs for calcium are specific, and most patients suffer from an

overdose of the improper form of calcium. Care must be exercised when

prescribing calcium. Most of the rest of the necessary supplementation is

based on your chemistries (not blood type) and is individual. Modifications

in dose are based on follow-up chemistries.

13. Do not take Vitamin C the day of dental procedures. Vitamin C by mouth

will shorten the effect of the dental anesthetic to literally around 10

minutes- after that, it is painsville. The IV form of Vitamin C does not do

this for reasons unknown, but even 500 milligrams in the tablet form will

detoxify the anesthetic adequately to let you feel the pain of drilling or

surgery.

14. Observe the Patient Protection Protocol as closely as is possible during

removal procedures. Please realize that many dentists do not have all the

safety equipment described, so see how much you can live with, and without.

Complete protection includes the use of the rubber dam during amalgam

removal; the use of copious amounts of water with high suction while

amalgams and nickel crowns are being cut with the high speed drill;

placement of dental materials that have been proved to be biocompatible with

you; presence of negative ion generators to remove the massive amount of

mercury vapor within the dental office; IV Vitamin C during the removal

procedures....

15. .... Please avoid codeine when possible, for it makes many people

nauseated, and is constipating for the majority of people. Minimal travel

after surgery is advisable (like one or 2 miles) for the vibration in a car

can release the blood clot resulting in the famous painful " dry socket " .

Smoking after surgery will almost guarantee the formation of a painful dry

socket. Be forewarned.

16. Be absolutely certain that your IV during the dental procedures contains

NO Vitamin B-12. B-12 in any form is a methylator, and methyl mercury is

extremely damaging to your nervous system.

17. Acupressure immediately after dental appointments is helpful to all

patients, and especially those with neurological problems. With all the

electrical currents beaming into the brain for many years (at a current 1000

times greater than the brain operates on) the brain tries to accommodate,

then upon removal of this current, the brain tries to uncompensate and

recoup. The result can be a pretty uncomfortable feeling for about a week.

It can be accomplished while the IV is still running. This is not a problem.

18. Massage is a good way to stimulate lymphatic drainage, and is in

particular helpful in patients with white blood cell or serum calcium

problems. It can be applied a few days before the dental removal sessions,

and a few days afterwards.

19. After dental removal procedures are completed, be sure that the patient

maintains a high protein diet. If surgery was done, best use a blender for a

few days to avoid damage to fresh surgical sites.

20. Be sure that the C-flush procedures are followed. Many people achieve a

new level of health after basic dental revision procedures, but do not feel

that they have all the health and energy they would like. When they remember

the C-flush and actually do it, they immediately feel much better. Remember,

eating the right foods is only part of the treatment. You have to digest,

absorb and assimilate the breakdown products of foods before you body can

really build a new you. It takes a renewed gut to do that. [This is

something you can do on your own if you wish, as we do not do it, but please

taper off vitamin c gradually.  Taking high doses of c and stopping suddenly

can cause Scoliosis (curvature of the spine).]

21. Select the detoxification procedures that are available and acceptable

to you. Be careful to find the balance between adequate and overdoing. Two

to three procedures per week is adequate for most people, and six to seven

per week is overdoing it for almost anyone. Be kind to you. The biggest

single problem post dental revision is too much detoxification too fast. Be

real careful here. This goes for detoxification medications as well as

saunas, etc. Get educated. Read the book on detoxification and take heed.

22. See to it that your follow-up blood tests and interpretations are

scheduled. It is easy to slip back into the habits that created your

original problem, so all of us need the handholding to maintain improved

health.

23. A really important part of going through this program is that you have a

competent caregiver. Especially during dental procedures, the brain is

undergoing a new form of electrical and chemical stimulation, and it can

easily become confused. Even menial tasks like selecting which clothes to

wear, which foods to eat, preparing the foods, cleaning up the kitchen

afterward, what time are the appointments, are stresses to a patient

undergoing dental revision that are not ordinarily considered stressors.

Having someone appointed as designated decision maker will enhance healing

and reduce stress on your immune system. Pull off your ego hat, and let

someone else help you at this time. http://www.hugnet.com/lprotocol.html

>>>ARE DENTISTS STILL PLACING THE SAME

FILLINGS I HAD AS A CHILD? ALSO, ARE MY

CROWNS SAFE, WHAT ABOUT ROOT CANALS?

YES. Many people I talk to have the same response, " They don't use mercury

anymore. " Despite a period of using a high-copper amalgam (which released

even more mercury into the system), all silver or gray-colored fillings

contain the exact same amount of dangerous mercury as those you had as a

child (50+%). Your dentist may refer to them as " amalgams " and claim they

are safe, but the definition of amalgam is any alloy containing mercury.

If you do not have any amalgam (mercury) fillings, your health can still be

at risk from poisons generated by root canals and/or cavitations or the

nickel contained in your crowns and/or partials.

A cavitation is a pocket of usually unnoticeable anerobic (needs no oxygen

to thrive, feeds off itself) bacteria that most often forms when a

non-biological dentist pulls a tooth and does not remove the periodontal

ligament attached to the tooth, which is left to decay. The bone cannot

bridge across the gap and heal, thus, a hole filled with bacteria

(cavitation) is created in the jawbone. These are also formed when wisdom

teeth are pulled, so if you have only had wisdom teeth pulled, you still

have cavitations. Dr. Morales makes a small incision and cleans the bacteria

out, which allows the cavitation to heal. I have been in the office while a

patient was having this procedure. The spouse was able to view the bacteria

and it was a disgusting orangish gelatin-like substance, something you

definitely don't want in your jaw. These and root canals, which harbor the

same types of bacteria, can eat away at your jaw bone. I have personal

experience with this and had to have dead jaw bone scraped away. When you

have these bacteria in your jaw, your immune system must fight them, so it

spends less time fighting off other illnesses. If you have these, please

view my page " Root Canals And Jaw Bone Cavitations... " .

Another health hazard is the nickel contained in porcelain and stainless

steel crowns and partials. When you have any of these procedures done by a

non-biologic dentist, you must request the materials be non-nickel. Nickel

was recently added to the government's list of known carcinogens (cancer

causing agents).

>>WHY IS MERCURY STILL BEING USED?

[Economics, really]. ...your traditional dentist pays about one dollar for

each amalgam he places....(http://www.talkinternational.com/TTCHPTR1.htm)

In the coming years,...patients who are harmed by mercury amalgam may begin

to bring lawsuits against the dentists who placed toxic substances in their

mouths without the patient's knowledge or informed consent and those who

purposely concealed facts about the filling's content. ....

It's no great stretch, after all, to question whether the ADA has covered up

information about amalgam's dangers. As Dr. Huggins says, there's no logical

reason for the ADA's refusal to recognize amalgam as a problem. At this

point, thousands of patients have responded favorably to its removal.

" There's been an active effort to keep the information from getting out, " he

says.

Now the ADA says that mercury vapor from amalgams is released in such minute

quantities that is not enough to make anyone sick. As an open minded reader

of this article, what conclusions can be drawn from this statement given by

dentists (as opposed to medical doctors who specialize in what really makes

people sick). A reasonable suggestion is that Liability is what they fear.

One estimate is that their exposure could be 5 Trillion (yes, trillion)

dollars for amalgam replacements and monetary damages for the sick and

injured. (http://www.talkinternational.com/TTCHPTR1.htm)

Dr. Huggins, for one, used to spend a great deal of time lecturing to dental

associations on the topic of dental amalgam. But then the engagements came

to a screeching halt. " I used to lecture 100 days a year to dental groups,

and all of a sudden I was told that if I were on a dental program, there

would be no postgraduate credit given for that program, " he says. " And

there's never been an invitation since. Approximately 18 months of bookings

were canceled in one week. " ....

Dr. Sam Ziff, an author and researcher who has studied this topic for years,

believes that a political power play is at work, with the issue of legal

liability lurking in the background. " I think what they're really hoping for

is that the problem will just slowly fade away as more and more of the

alternative materials are used and the use of amalgam is stopped " says Ziff.

He points to a similar situation that took place in Sweden several years

ago. A special commission declared amalgam to be an unsuitable dental

filling, says Ziff, but the medical and dental establishment applied

political pressure until the commission recanted its statement publicly.

When scientists took the commission to task on national television, says

Ziff, the Swedish Social Welfare and Health Administration made an historic

about-face and supported the original statement against the use of amalgam.

As this case illustrates, says Ziff, " There is a lot of political pressure

being brought to bear. They've been using it for 150 years, and nobody likes

to admit they've been wrong for that long. " ....

That's exactly what the Swedish agency did, however, when it declared

amalgam to be " an unsuitable and toxic dental filling material which shall

be discontinued as soon as suitable replacement materials are produced, "

according to a Swedish newspaper. An official said: We now realize that we

have made a mistake. This has caused people to suffer unnecessarily. " ....

(http://www.garynull.com/Documents/Dental/Amalgam/Amalgam5.htm)

>>>IS THERE A SAFE LEVEL OF MERCURY I CAN HAVE IN MY BODY?

NO! There is not one research article which demonstrates the safety of

Dental Amalgam as a Non-Toxic substance!

....many scientists have questioned the continuing use of mercury amalgam or

have called for an outright ban on its use. 'There is no safe level of

mercury at all,' says Dr. Jay Dooreck. Toxicity experts such as

son of the University of Rochester Medical School- and Lars Friberg of

the Karolinska Institute also argue against the notion of a " safe " level of

mercury exposure. ....

(http://www.garynull.com/Documents/Dental/Amalgam/Amalgam7.htm)

I'm just not comfortable somehow with a material (mercury-fillings) that I

cannot legally throw in the trash, bury in the ground, send to a landfill

for disposal, [or legally handle with my bare hands], but which, they say, I

can safely put in your mouth....(http://www.mgoldmandds.com/detox2.htm)

Dr. Ziff, a retired dentist who fought a four-year legal battle over

mercury with the dental board in Florida, is now executive director of the

Orlando-based International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, a

leading anti- mercury group with about 400 dentist members. The average

American has seven mercury fillings, Ziff says. " It's kind of like holding

seven leaking mercury thermometers in your mouth 365 days a year, 24 hours a

day. "

(http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=1429)

>>>SHOULD I JUST GO ASK MY DENTIST TO REMOVE MY MERCURY FILLINGS?

NO! Non-biologic dentists are not only taught by the ADA that mercury is

safe, but if they do agree to remove it (they are only allowed by law to

remove it for cosmetic reasons), they are usually not skilled in the

protocol for removal. You can get very ill if they do not follow the

Huggin's protocol (see below). There are quite a few Biologic Dentists

throughout the U.S., it is very costly to have the amalgams removed and

replaced. Also, some Biologic Dentists actually perform root canals, which

contain toxins. Dr. Morales has been a Dentist for over a quarter of a

century and a Biologic Dentist for over 13 years; He skillfully repairs your

teeth for a fraction of what you pay in the states and many other countries.

>>>HOW DID WE END UP WITH THE SECOND MOST TOXIC SUBSTANCE ON THE PLANET IN OUR

MOUTHS?!

Cavities in teeth have been filled over the years with a variety of

materials: stone chips, turpentine resin, gum, metals....

-Aguste Taveau of Paris, France, developed what was probably the first

dental amalgam--in 1816. He used filings from silver coins mixed with

mercury.

The first dental silver amalgam was introduced by Bell of England in 1819

and later used by Taveau in Paris in 1826. Dr. D.M.Cattell stated that the

first dental amalgam introduced into the United States was by the two

Crawcour brothers under the name of " Royal Mineral Succedaneum " , the last

word meaning a substitute or replacer, in 1833.

Through advertisements these two Frenchmen induced a large number of

prosperous people to submit to their operations with this material and

incensed many of the better dentists. This was the beginning of the amalgam

wars, waged on at least two bases: first, the material was introduced by two

Frenchmen who were little better than charlatans; second, the use of amalgam

was opposed by some physicians as it was a source of mercury poisoning. ....

Dr. Chapin A. in his opening address to the first class of the

Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, founded in 1839 as the first dental

college, said about amalgam that it is one of the most abomidable articles

for filling teeth that could be employed. Many cases were reported of

systemic effects and even death resulting from the presence of mercury in

amalgam. Patients were sent to dentists by physicians with instructions to

remove all amalgam fillings and the Onondaga Medical Society of New York

adopted resolutions to the effect that amalgam produced depression,

nervousness, indigestion, ptyalism, paralysis, and death.

.....(http://www.talkinternational.com/TTCHPTR1.htm)

" QUACKS " I'm sure that you know what a " QUACK " is..we've all heard of " QUACK

DOCTORS " ..but do you know where the term derives from? Mercury Amalgam

fillings were first introduced by the Crawcours brothers first to England

and France then to America in the 1830's. There were two types of dentists

at this time. There were medical doctors trained to practice both medicine

and dentistry, called medical-dentists. Then there were craftsmen-dentists.

The craftsmen-dentists were those who were engaged in some other trade such

as barbering, wood or metal carvers, blacksmiths etc. Before 1840 there were

no dental schools, no dental licensing, no dental organisations or dental

board exams. Dentists were self-taught by trial and error or were

apprenticed under a practicing medical-dentist and anyone could put up a

sign calling themself a dentist. This is when the amalgam war started. The

medical-dentists knew that the mercury in the amalgam was poisonous, but the

craftsmen-dentists were not concerned about the medical consequences of

putting amalgam into a person's mouth. It filled the cavities without pain.

In 1840 American dentists formed The American Society of Dental Surgeons.

The members were required to sign a pledge that they would NOT use Mercury

in their fillings. Dentists who were found to be using Mercury were fined

for malpractice. Mercury was known as " Quicksilver " in America but in Europe

it was known as " Quacksalver " .

" Quack-salver " was used as a cure for skin diseases especially the skin

lesions associated with tertiary syphilis. (A " Salve " being an application

for wounds.) The skin rash would disappear but the disease went deeper into

the organs and nervous system and the person died a very painful death. The

" doctors " soon became know as " Quacks " because they were using the

" Quacksalver " ....a poisonous substance to " cure " . The term was then used to

describe a dentist who used " Quacksalver " for the same purpose, to " Cure " or

fix decay with an amalgam filling.

In 1859 a new dental organisation was formed, the American Dental

Association (ADA). This body did not condemn the use of Mercury in fillings

and now 143 years later Mercury is still being used by dentists around the

world and dental associations in all countries (INCLUDING THE BRITISH DENTAL

ASSOCIATION [bDA] HERE IN BRITAIN) try to crucify dentists who tell their

patients that Amalgam fillings, which contain at least 50% Mercury, are

safe!!!

Although Amalgam has been used in our teeth for the past 160 years it IS

dangerous to our health. Mercury vapours are released on a daily basis,

especially when we brush our teeth or chew our food. The vapours travel

through our sinuses into our bodies where it attacks our immune systems

causing many different symptoms. As the mercury finds its way to various

parts of our body we become allergic to many things in our ordinary daily

lives. We fall ill and our doctors cannot find a true cause for our

symptoms. Many of the symptoms are a mirror of the symptoms, which you will

find in Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Asthma and many

others including Alzheimers Disease. Mercury not only gives us physical

symptoms but it attacks our brains causing short-term memory loss, which our

doctors put down to Alzheimers's disease, even in the very young.

The NHS allows dentists to use Amalgam because it is cheap and it is strong

and lasts. The British Dental Association claim that Amalgam is safe and

that there have been no more than 100 cases reported of Mercury Poisoning

due to Amalgam. This is COMPLETE RUBBISH!! There are thousands of people all

over the world who are/have been ill for years and the cause has been found

to be MERCURY POISONING FROM THEIR AMALGAM FILLINGS. Unfortunately, I was

one of those people. I became ill after going to the dentist and having 6

Amalgam fillings. (http://members.aol.com/lynrennick2000/Page3.html)

>>>WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT MERCURY FILLINGS?

....Mercury damages DNA, alters the structure of proteins, disrupts the

communication between cells, induces free radical tissue damage and inhibits

antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase. Mercury from a single

dental filling (nanogram amounts are all that are required) is enough to

inhibit the activity of white blood cells. Mercury can indirectly increase

antibiotic-resistant oral and intestinal bacteria, impair kidney function

and induce autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus

erythematosus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Several neurological diseases

are linked to mercury hypersensitivity or toxicity including Lou Gehrig's

disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS), Parkinson's disease and

Alzheimer's Disease. ....

Mercury vapours from dental amalgams absorb directly into the blood and

practically all body tissues including the oral cavity, the lungs and the

gastrointestinal tract. ....

Mercury levels in the blood, urine, brain, nerves, endocrine glands and

kidneys increase in direct proportion to the number of amalgam restorations

present in the mouth. Studies indicate that 80% of inhaled mercury vapour is

absorbed into the bloodstream. There is a direct transport of mercury

through the peripheral nerves and into the central nervous system. Autopsy

studies reveal statistically significant correlations between measured

mercury tissue concentrations and the number of amalgam fillings. ....

Based on extensive scientific documentation, several world governments (e.g.

Germany, Austria, Sweden, Norway) have either banned the use of mercury

dental amalgams outright or severely curtailed their use, especially in

pregnant women or those with kidney problems.

....Aluminum is linked to Alzheimer's, but there is also a great deal of

evidence for an association between mercury and Alzheimer's. Mercury levels

are elevated in the brains of Alzheimer's patients compared to controls.

Aluminum is not. Mercury causes Alzheimer's-like changes in rat brain cells

at levels similar to those found in monkeys with amalgam fillings. Mercury

in human brain tissue has been shown to be correlated with the number of

amalgam fillings. (http://www.selene.com/healthlink/amalgam.html)

Toxic metals like mercury have been found to be the cause of developmental

cognitive and behavioral problems to millions of children, including major

factors in learning disabilities, ADD, dyslexia, juvenile delinquency, and

criminality. The extreme toxicity of mercury can be seen from documented

effects on wildlife by very low levels of mercury exposure. Because of the

extreme toxicity of mercury, only 1/2 gram is required to contaminate the

ecosystem and fish of a 10 acre lake to the extent that a health warning

would be issued by the government to not eat the fish.... That mercury can

affect fertility is well known since mercury has been commonly used as a

spermicide in birth control products. Potential effects can again be seen

from effects on wildlife. Some Florida panthers that eat birds and animals

that eat fish, frogs, and turtles containing very low levels of mercury

(about 1 part per million) have died from chronic mercury poisoning. Since

mercury is an estrogenic chemical and reproductive toxin, the majority of

the rest cannot reproduce. The average male Florida panther has estrogen

levels as high as females, due to the estrogenic properties of mercury.

Similar is true of some other animals at the top of the food chain like

alligators and wading birds, and marine mammals such as polar bears, seals,

beluga and orca whales. Mercury has also been documented to be a

reproductive and developmental toxin in humans. Mercury has been documented

to cross the placenta and commonly is found in the fetus at higher levels

than in the mother. Likewise mercury is readily transmitted to an infant

through the mother's breast milk. Some of mercury's documented hormonal

effects at very low levels of exposure include effects on the reproductive

system resulting in lowered sperm counts, defective sperm cells, and lowered

testosterone levels in males; along with menstrual disturbances,

infertility, spontaneous abortions in women, and birth defects. Studies

found that very low levels of exposure to mercury cause genetic/ DNA damage

and inhibits DNA & RNA synthesis; damages sperm, lowers sperm counts and

reduces motility ; causes menstrual disturbances ; reduces blood's ability

to transport oxygen to fetus, and transport of essential amino acids and

nutrients including magnesium, zinc and Vit B12 ; depresses enzyme function

and isocitric dehydrogenase (ICD) in fetus; causes reduced iodine uptake,

inhibited ATP activity, & hypothyroidism; causes infertility, and causes

spontaneous abortions and birth defects. Pregnant women who suffer from

hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) have a four-times greater risk for

miscarriage during the second trimester than those who don't, and women with

untreated thyroid deficiency were four-times more likely to have a child

with a developmental disabilities and lower I.Q.

http://www.floridalcv.org/FLCVEdFund/press_release_2001_mercury.htm

Chronic inhalation of mercury vapor from amalgam fillings for twenty years

or more can result in accumulation of pathologic quantities of mercury in

the brain and other critical organs and tissues. Human autopsy studies of

accident victims have shown a positive correlation between the numbers of

mercury amalgam dental fillings and the concentration of mercury in the

brain. The onset of clinically observable signs or symptoms of mercury

toxicity may take as long as 20-30 years to appear, depending on a person's

biochemical individuality. Lubricated condoms and birth control creams or

gels have mercury as the primary spermicide. It is not required that the

word mercury appear on the label, as it is assumed that everyone knows

mercury is in there. The uterus is a collection center for mercury. Hal

Huggins reported that more than 90% of the imbalances, created by sex

hormone disturbances were corrected within a few weeks of amalgam removal.

His patients noted differences in fertility, less pain during periods,

relief from endometriosis, and a trend toward optimization of the days of

menstrual flow. PMS is one of the most common symptoms to change after

amalgam removal. Amenorrhea, or the complete absence of a menstrual flow,

responds to amalgam removal. This is usually in women in their twenties or

thirties. Even in women who have gone through a sort of premature menopause

in their early forties, the periods may start up again for a couple of

years. This has resulted in surprise pregnancies. Women should avoid

pregnancy for at least six months after amalgam removal. ....

NEW RESEARCH CONNECTS MERCURY TO ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE!

Research conducted at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine has

demonstrated that trace amounts of mercury can cause the type of damage to

nerves that is characteristic of the damage found in Alzheimer's Disease.

The level of mercury exposure is consistent with those levels found in

humans with mercury/silver amalgam dental fillings. The exposure to mercury

caused the formation of " neurofibrillar tangles " , which are one of the two

diagnostic markers for Alzheimer's Disease. The scientists found that other

metals, including aluminum, did not cause the damage. Previous research has

shown that mercury can cause the formation of the other Alzheimer's Disease

diagnostic marker, " amyloid plaques " .

affidavit signed by a coroner of the State of Washington and presented to

the ADA in the city of Sea-Tac in January 1990 during a public hearing

stated that mercury poisoning is a leading cause of death in people under 40

who die naturally.

WHY SHOULD I GO TO DR MORALES?

Dr. Morales is a Biologic Dentist and was trained by Hal Huggins, the father

of the mercury removal movement. Dr. Morales and Dr. Huggins also had an

office together at one time where they treated patients and developed the IV

sedation method for removing mercury in one visit. Dr Morales is a pioneer

in the field of Biologic Dentistry; Please see my page More About Dr.

Morales And Price List. Even better, Dr. Morales has the most inexpensive

biologic dental office in Tijuana. While there are many dentists in TJ,

there are only a few Biologic Dentists. Dr. Morales keeps his prices low so

that patients suffering from mercury and/or nickel poisoning can afford to

get well. He is a full service dentist, providing crowns, bridges, cleaning,

whitening, etc..., and all his prices are kept low. Many patients come from

all over the US and other countries and are very ill from mercury (like

myself). They are very pleased with Dr/ Morales' work and expertise in

dentistry; Please see my page Dental Materials Used By Dr. Morales and

Patient Testimonials

WHAT IS SERUM BIOCOMPATIBILITY

TESTING AND HOW AND WHERE DO I

GET THIS DONE?

As I stated, Dr. Morales does use the best materials for compatibility, but

if u wish to go a step further and get this test, the doctor is familiar

with the report and will give you the materials on your report which are

least reactive. Personally, I have spoke at length with two different

companies and feel the test performed by Scientific Health Solutions, Inc.

is superior in it's thoroughness of testing.

This testing utilizes a serum blood specimen in a sophisticated fashion to

help determine on an individual basis what one's " least toxic " replacement

dental materials might be. The term " least toxic " is used here because all

foreign substances introduced into the body will provoke the immune system

of the patient to some degree. As the body's protector, the immune system

wouldn't really be doing its job if this didn't happen to some degree.

..... The report, which is over 30 pages in length, lists in categories of

" Highly Reactive, " " Moderately Reactive, " and " Least Reactive " over 1,000

different dental products, including composite fillings, crown materials,

bridge materials, cements, denture materials, and other materials. Nearly

all reports have some materials in the " Least Reactive " categories from

which the dentist may choose.

SERUM BIOCOMPATIBILITY TESTING

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PATIENT

TO THE PATIENT: PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY....

1. Order our testing kit via telephone (/)....

2. While the patient is waiting for our package to arrive they need to find

a laboratory that can draw and centrifuge a blood serum sample for us. The

easiest way to find this lab is to look in the yellow pages of the phone

book under laboratories....

3. Once the patient has received our testing kit and has found a lab the

next step is to fill out our order form. The Compat 306 test produces our

SHORT report as it only covers materials needed for filling replacements.

The Compat 307 test produces our COMPLETE report and covers materials

required for fillings, dentures, orthodontics, crowns and bridges. There is

not a specific category on the test for implant and root canal materials.

The patient will only need one or the other test; both are not necessary.

4. Before going to the lab the patient MUST FAST FOR 10 HOURS. (PLEASE NOTE:

this is very important. If the patient has not fasted he or she can have

incorrect test results or the blood may have to be redrawn.)

5. Go to the lab with the test kit and have the blood drawn. The lab will

draw and centrifuge and freeze the serum sample for several hours. Have the

patient ask the lab tech when he or she needs to return to pick-up the

sample. (PLEASE NOTE: Patient will have to pay the laboratory charges for

the blood draw and centrifuge....

6. The patient then needs to return to the lab and pick-up the entire

testing kit, with our order form(s) inside, and take it to an overnight

express mail service. That service can be FedEx, UPS, Express Mail by the

USPS, or Airborne Express. Any outfit will work fine as long as the package

is delivered overnight next day. (PLEASE NOTE: Patient will have to pay for

the overnight shipping of the package. It is not included in our fee for the

test.) Also be aware that some labs may require that they do the shipping,

and the patient will have to pay that charge.

7. Please overnight specimens only on Monday through Thursday. You or the

laboratory can keep the specimen frozen until it can be mailed if drawn on a

Friday, weekend, or holiday without any damage to the specimen.

8. Results will be sent 1st class mail to the patient or the designated

dentist or physician. The test turn-around time is about two to two and a

half weeks. We suggest having the patient schedule the next dental

appointment no sooner than three weeks after the day they have sent us the

blood serum specimen.

WHAT ABOUT MERCURY EXPOSURE TO

DENTISTS AND DENTAL PERSONEL?

Dentists and dental personnel who work with amalgam are chronically exposed

to mercury vapor. Mercury levels in urine of dental personnal average about

two times that of controls. Walking into the average dental office can

result in a mercury exposure that approximately equivalent to having 19

amalgam fillings.

Dr. points out that mercury burden on the body increases with age, and

older dentists have median mercury urine levels about four times those of

controls, as well as higher brain burdens. Dentists and dental personnel

experience significantly higher levels of neurological, memory, mood and

behavioral problems, which increase with years of exposure. Female dental

technicians who work with amalgam have significantly reduced fertility and

lowered probability of conception and their children have significantly

lower average IQ compared to the general population.

Further, the homes of many dentists have been found to have high levels of

mercury contamination, probably caused by the dentists bringing it home on

shoes and clothes. Autopsies of former dental staff have found levels of

mercury in the pituitary gland that averaged more than 10 times greater than

that of controls and also found higher levels in the occipital cortex, renal

cortex and thyroid.

And it gets even more grim. Dentists have the highest rate of suicide of any

profession. They also suffer a high incidence of depression and memory

disorders. According to Dr. , A large number of dentists wind up being

placed on permanent disability and frequently carry a nebulous diagnosis of

non-specific neurological disorder, which we believe is mercury toxicity,

plain and simple.

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2001/may2001_report_mercury_2.htmlDentists

have the highest suicide and divorce rates among professional. Female dental

personnel have a higher spontaneous abortion rate, a raised incidence of

premature labour, and an elevated perinatal mortality.

" Electrogalvanism is frequently the cause of lack of concentration and

memory, insomnia, psychological problems, tinnitus, vertigo, epilepsy. To

name a few. " --- Arana, D.D.S. http://www.curezone.com/dental/
