Risk of Toxic Mercury Poisoning Due to Dental Fillings

For 150 years, dentists have used amalgam fillings to fill and repair cavity-stricken teeth, but a newly released study indicates those fillings – which contain 50% mercury – may slowly be poisoning the people they were designed to help. Dr. Mark Geier and Mr. David Geier, authors of a new study “Dental Amalgam Fillings and Mercury Vapor Safety Limits in American Adults” that evaluated mercury vapor safety limits, discuss the findings and offer solutions for those concerned about the safety of their dental fillings.

And the world was basically never informed as to what happened when these amalgam fillings were first introduced in the UK and France in the 1800's.

I'm 54 and I have 9 mercury amalgams. I am in perfect health and came down with PMR, polymalgia rheumatica a few months ago. Had to go on high levels of steroids to make life livable. I'm waiting on hair test results to verify mercury poisoning.
