The Strange Story of Dental Amalgam

Quecksilber…This dynamic 58 minute documentary, produced by Dr. Robert Gammal,
was made for the lay person but is fully referenced, and appropriate for persons
at all levels of knowledge. It shows, visually and informatively, how no amount
of mercury is safe in the body. The use of mercury-releasing dental amalgam has
been supported by the dental industry for over 150 years without any references
to support their claims of safety. Mercury absorption from dental amalgam is at
least 10 times greater than all other sources combined including seafood. There
is NO ‘safe’ level of mercury vapour. Mercury leaching from amalgam fillings has
serious consequences for human health. Why does the dental profession continue
to deny that mercury from amalgam is a danger? How does this mercury affect your
health? Although the dental associations proclaim its safety, there are other
official positions such as that of the World Health Organisation that clearly
describe its danger. On 7 January 2003, the Superior Court in San Francisco
approved the warnings on dental amalgam mercury that are required under
California’s Proposition 65; “Warning on dental amalgam, used in many dental
fillings, causes exposure to mercury, a chemical known to the state of
California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.” Mercury is the
THIRD most toxic substance known to science after Arsenic and Lead.
