@PortalToEverything Hmmm insult huh? I say I am happy for you and you take it as an insult. Since I sent you literally dozens of papers and referenced over 100 to try and help you warp your head around this very simple issue, "All mercury fillings leak substantial amounts of mercury".
And after I spent hours tutoring you about decades of published science you now claim to feel insulted. You'll excuse me if I conclude that you are not and were not serious. Please serious inquiries only.
@PortalToEverything What do I do? Answer the same old questions about a thousand times for people who may not be given the correct poop by their dentist? For you I am very happy to hear that your dentist is aware of the problems mercury presents and has chosen to not use this antique mercury-leaking material and OSHA compliant.
Like the video says according to modern dental care "drilling away 1/3 of an otherwise healthy tooth to fix a pin head sized cavity is simply the wrong thing to do."
@PortalToEverything Yes it is a computer and uses a small sample to calculate how much is in a cubic meter of air. Vimy adjusted for this in their peer reviewed and published paper using 50 cc as the size of the mouth. Mackert the paid spokesperson for the trade association didn't like their numbers so he took out his pencil and ESTIMATED a much lower amount. WHO allowed him to speak and then ignored his pencil whipping as they said his estimate did not fit the empirical data. WHO Criteria 118.
@PortalToEverything Sadly although you may realize that mercury poses a danger to those with excessive exposure a recent Zogby poll found that 76% of the public did not realize that there was even mercury in a so called "Silver" filling much less by far the largest source of human exposure to mercury.
EPA restricted air hg and fish with over 1 ppm mercury in the meat are FDA banned autopsy finds at death the amount of mercury in your brain is proportional your amalgam fillings.(Eggleston 1987)
It is not about how you measure. It is about the reproducible numbers from multiple different studies.
I've sent you basic inorganic chemistry measurements (Stock), then gas chromatography (Svare), followed by a Jerome Mercury computer sniffer and back to fundamental inorganic chemistry (Haley) where they put it in a test tube and then measure how much leaked out. The fact that mercury leaks out regardless of how you measure utterly refutes the many claims of safety.
@PortalToEverything The Jerome is accurate down to about 2 ppm when it takes a 10 second sample. if you are in a high exposure area you should only use the 1 second sample which will dilute the results by 10. So when you open the capsule there is an area near the capsule well over 1000.
I wouldn't want to be holding that capsule but thousands of women assistants do. Rowland in 1994 documented a 40% increase in infertility from occupational exposure to dental mercury in a case controlled study.
@PortalToEverything Then a team at Calgary medical school used radioactive mercury to trace the path from amalgam through the sheep and monkey's bodies. Vimy, MJ; Takahashi, Y; Lorscheider, FL Maternal-fetal distribution of mercury (203 Hg) released from dental amalgam fillings the American Physiology Society 0363-6119/90 R939-945. They were peer reviewed and published in the worlds most prestigious physiological journal FESAB. I can send you these studies.
@PortalToEverything The next record of measuring was Gay et al in a letter to Lancet 1979 but no data. Carl Svare in 1981 published his exhaled breath study and measured on average 15µg/m3 using gas chromatography. Followed by Snapp in 1983. And in 1984 the NIDR/ADA joint Biomaterials conference acknowledged amalgams leaked mercury.
1985 Vimy et al measured the intra oral level with a Jerome Sniffer and in 1986 estimated daily dose at 15 µg/day. WHO 1991 estimated 17 but may range much higher.
@PortalToEverything That is another question entirely that I'd be more than happy to address.
The first was Alfred Stock who in 1926 used a leather bag and distilled his own dessicated breath to obtain a droplet of mercury. He did a scientific proof by turning it red by oxidation. Only Hg oxide is a red residue. He calculated 10 µg/M3 by measuring the drop and suing calculus to calculate the amount.
He chose leather because he knew mercury vapor would escape through rubber.
@PortalToEverything What you are saying is the old dental myth that students in the US are still taught today. Alfred Stock proved in 1926 the oxide layer myth leaks. Yes it does form but Stock was able to meticulously measure elemental mercury vapor coming from his own mouth only when amalgams were present. After they were removed he no longer had mercury breath.
But these Hg fillings didn't leak in about many different ways including vapor, particulates, blood & nerve ion migration.
@PortalToEverything Yes the oxide layer inhibits some elemental mercury release however you missed the point.
Exposing the anyone to enormous levels of elemental mercury vapor is unlawful. Employees may be present ONLY if the 7 OSHA rules are applied after informed consent and including HG monitoring of the person and facility, instituting engineering controls, work practices and providing protective equipment. The MAX is 100 never to be exceeded even instantaneously. Mixing grossly exceeds MAC
@PortalToEverything One of the consultants on this video was my good friend Professor Boyd Haley. He invented the molecule used in affinity labeling. It blows up when hit with light. That is definitely light stimulated.
You can put an amalgam in a black jar. Let it sit statically at room temperature for a while and every time you take the lid off the jar the smoke rises and you can use a Jerome to measure LOTS of mercury. All amalgams leak but stimulation increases it dramatically.
@PortalToEverything FYI General Electric made a mercury detector in the 70's that was accurate down to 10 ppm but that is with the machine detecting light change at 253.7nm which is the atomic absorbance for mercury. The machine is much more accurate than the eye so in the video the script says "if you can see it the smoke is more than 100 times the level allowed by the EPA which is 0.3µg/m3. We estimated that a faint wisp "smoke" is at least 30 ppm and black is near 1000!
@PortalToEverything No not really by the light. The light is a fluorescent bulb which is mercury so when the element is electrically stimulated it releases light in the mercury vapor absorbance wavelength of 253.7nm. The light sits several inches away from the tooth to shine on the reflective screen but with very little heat. If you just shine the light and do nothing to the tooth then no vapor is seen but this is a very old rough way to evaluate mercury. The Jerome is much more accurate.
@davidkennedydds The Jerome has to suck in a quantity of air in order to measure mercury air quality so distance is zero. It uses a gold film and is much more accurate than older AA visual methods. As for light stimulating the amalgam if that were a significant factor we should be able to "see" some smoke before we stimulated the filling mechanically but above the limits of detection. Since as I said AA is a crude method it is certainly possible there may be some but too little to measure.
@PortalToEverything Yes by DR. Eichman scraping them with his pocket knife. Since we wanted the heavier than air mercury vapor to fall we did not heat this sample this time. Hot air rises and so does hot mercury so he merely stimulated the old filling by scraping. It is not a difficult experiment to replicate.
I have a question about this though, they say the tooth is at least 15 years old, how long ago was the amalgam filling actually put into the tooth? If it's from the 1970s wouldn't it have been made with the older more dangerous compound and not what is used today?
As I recall he said 50 years-old not 15. In my first demonstration "Smoking Teeth" we used a 25 year-old amalgam hence the statement that "all amalgams leak substantial amounts of mercury." It has been measured for over 85 years from all kinds.
New amalgams aren't safer. Have you got any idea of how much MORE popular high copper brands now leak than the older ones did.
Copper makes them shiny and leak many FOLD more. More NOT less so why do you claim otherwise?
It is either insane or terribly evil and I can see arguments for both concepts. Richardson 2011 mercury from amalgam exceeds the level known to cause considerable harm.
Watch "Poisoned Babies" and see almost exactly the same idiotic approach to dental care without any regard for the dose of toxicity substances implanted or swallowed. Even the National Academy of Science acknowledges that the amount ingested by many in our society will exceed the levels known to cause harm.
Rowland AS et. al. The effect of occupational exposure to mercury vapor on the fertility of female dental assistants Journal of Occupational Environmental Medicine 51,28-34 1994
Gerhard, I; Monga, B; Waldbrenner, A; Runnebaum, B., Heavy metals and fertility, Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health Part A Vol. 54 #8 pp. 593-611, 21 Aug 1998
Now you are just being stubborn. Research for 30 years had found blood mercury is predominantly from inhaling mercury vapors from amalgams.
Leonardo Trasande, et al. (Public Health and Economic Consequences of Methyl Mercury Toxicity to the Developing Brain Vol. 113 #5 2005 Enviro Health Perspect)
calculated the cost to society from brain damage due to mercury at $5,724,000,000 and total cost may exceed $20B.
That makes the use of amalgam very costly to society and the individual.
"Heavy metals and fertility" said nothing at all about dentistry.from "The effect of occupational exposure to mercury vapor on the fertility of female dental assistants" i found "Whether the mercury that accumulates is biologically active and therefore able to interfere with endocrine or reproductive function is not known." and "Three small studies have looked at pituitary and thy-
roid function in subjects with chronic exposure to mercury vapour. The results were
The entire thing is BS. If amalgam fillings outgassed this much mercury vapor under normal conditions the filling would deteriorate and fall apart within a couple of years. Even if they didn't fall out the mercury would be gone. If that is mercury vapor at all, something has been done to the teeth they're using to cause such a reaction.
@Raithere67 Hmmm, lets see who is doing the BS here.
An average mercury/silver filling has 750 miligrams of mercury or 750,000 micrograms. EPA has set a maximum daily mercury intake from sources other than air of 10 µg. So one filling contains enough mercury to max your dose for 205 years. Yet when we analyze a 25 year old filling we find 50% of the mercury is already gone. Thus 1 filling doses you at 41 times the EPA maximum dose.
Vimy Daily Hg dose amalgam. J Dent Res 64(8):1072-5, 1985.
@davidkennedydds "Yet when we analyze a 25 year old filling we find 50% of the mercury is already gone."
Right... because its out gassed into your bodies and is killing us... not that maybe 25 years of chewing could perhaps ware down the filling? Chip off bits and pieces? No... it cant be that simple, its got to be a conspiracy. the government is trying to kill us.
No I wasn't talking about wear because those figures are truly enormous. I was merely talking about the mercury content of aged amalgams. When you put one so called "silver" filling made using standard mixing and packing techniques into room temperature water with no stimulation it loses mercury at the rate of 10 micrograms per day on average.
Some samples leaked a lot more. Average person has 12 fills. So amalgams deliver about 120 times the EPA max dose if you never chew.
The reason the title says (Excerpts) is because this footage was filmed for a much larger documentary by the same name which is in the theaters now.
The voice over is a result fo the director and has nothing to do with elemental mercury vapor that has been proven to come off so called "Silver" fillings.
Be scared if you wish but the program is clearly intended to tell the truth which sadly most dentists do not.
Youre missing my point. The tone and inflection in his voice is clearly not simply informative. He is trying to sound spooky. This, coupled with the scary music, begins to paint a pretty obvious picture of the bias of this film (aside from several other things).
And you are missing my point. I am in the movie but I didn't make it.
This is no different than Alfred Hitchcock playing spooky music as the evil doer with an ax creeps up on the innocent girl. That is how film makers make movies that people actually watch.
I think people should be told their so called "Silver" fillings are by far the predominant source of human exposure to mercury, a well recognized neuro-toxin. Don't you agree?
1 in 6 US women give birth with excess mercury in cord blood!
Documentaries are supposed to be objective. You would expect a film as bold as one telling its got a secret cure for cancer to be especially careful about coming off objective and journalistic, but it doesnt AT ALL which is why i (and many others) have a very hard time believing anything i hear in it.
Background music and what you refer to as a "spooky" voice does not make the film inaccurate. When dealing with facts it is hard to have a bias. Silver amalgams contain mercury. That is fact. Mercury vapors leak off of the fillings as we have seen in this demonstration and as I have seen/read from other sources. Mercury is toxic. It is pretty simple. That is why many dentists now offer choices for fillings and also offer to pull old silver amalgams out and put something safer in.
Actually Steve Kroschel is a well recognized filmmaker. You have seen his work many times. He began filming avalanches years ago and is well respected in his field. This is an excerpt of a feature length film by the same name that has shown in theaters around the US and Canada.
Scaring you was not his intention. What he is doing is uncovering a health care fraud of some magnitude. You should be angry because dentists deceptively call these 50% mercury-leaking fillings "silver".
The Beautiful Truth is an ignorant and misguided attempt at film making. Its filled with pseudoscience and conspiracy. Its advice is down right dangerous. It encourages others not only question but blindly deny modern medicine's undeniable good its provided, and encourages often harmful "alternative" medicines to desperate people. It provides inconclusive anecdotal recounts of "miracle natural cures" and introduces us to a new world of BS with the likes of "excitotoxins" and coffee enemas. Boo.
The video you've just watched shows proof positive that mercury leaks from set dental amalgam fillings upon stimulation. Nothing alternative about that just chemistry. Research demonstrating this fact has been published in the scientific literature for over 84 years. Get it?
Don't you think that dentists are lying when they claim otherwise?
If I were to implant arsenic in your tooth and claim it was totally benign wouldn't you want to know the truth?
@davidkennedydds I have a big problem with the validity of thier tests. They dont look very credible to be honest.
I dont take this clip as "proof positive" and i dont suggest you do either. You know who does credible, scientific, well funded chemical tests? The EPA and the FDA. What your saying is that either the EPA and FDA knows what's going on with this poisonous fillings and is doing nothing about it (conspiracy) or they're choosing so not research it.
Their tests as you may be aware are fundamental analytical chemistry. There are a number of ways to measure mercury but the hardest is how the famous German scientist Dr. Alfred Stock did it in 1926. He blew his own breath into a leather bag dessicated it and then distilled it to find a shiny droplet of a liquid metal. He oxidized it and it turned red. Mercury oxide is red. That is called a chemical proof. He calculated 10 µg/M3 breath. I have the translation. Do you want it?
@brenan6 Actually the loud denials from the ADA stymied further research for about 50 years. In 1979 Gay reported finding mercury. Svare in 1981. Vimy in 1985 and more recently in the horribly unethical orphan's study they showed a spike in urine mercury with the first fillings and followed over 7 years a slow decline as the child became unable to excrete mercury through the urine.
Boyd in 1991 showed this effect in sheep, a more appropriate model to study the toxicological impact of mercury.
@davidkennedydds Also, why would you put arsenic in my teeth? If you were a dentist, why would you poison people with these "dangerous fillings?" Wheres the motivation? Are these dentists just purely evil, on a mission to kill all of the world? Sounds a bit paranoid doesnt it?
Why would any learned professional put a time-release mercury filling in a tooth and then deceptively call it silver?
A recent Zogby poll found that 76% of the American public wasn't even aware that silver fillings have any mercury much less contain 50% mercury. That's my point. No conspiracy just stupidity.
The dentist do it because they were taught to do it and they were told (incorrectly) that the filling leaks no mercury. Daah!
Dental personnel are clearly injured (Rowland 1994) We c0ontacted OSHA and they have so far refused to enforce the employee protections that are the law. Dentists cannot legally open a capsule without protecting their staff and getting their consent. Few comply with these laws.
Dental Schools are not only work places but schools and thus a much stricter EPA standard applies 0.3 µg/M3. Every dental school I've tested so far fail this required test.
I work for the Institute for Systems Biology. I have access to any medical journal article I need. I just read Rowland 1994 and nowhere did it say anyone was conclusively injured by being exposed to mercury. "As a group, dental assistants have urinary mercury concentrations higher than the general population and cases of mercury poisoning have occasionally been reported. Most dental assistants, however, have urinary mercury concentrations well the recommended exposure limit proposed by theWTO."
Rowland found a 40% decline in fecundability in a large case controlled study, a woman's ability to conceive a child. He controlled for weight, age, smoking, frequency of copulation. His work agrees well with many others.
What you are doing is hiding behind scientific uncertainty. We know mercury is toxic and can harm so why allow a dentist to implant the time-release filling at all. It is simply criminal to allow the dentist to claim that mercury does no harm.
@davidkennedydds If you call not accepting something as fact until its proven "hiding behind scientific uncertainty" (Man, thats a bullshit term if ive ever heard one) you clearly have no understanding of the scientific method and really shouldn't be making such bold claims.
Great, perhaps you can help me fill in my large database of studies showing exactly what we are discussing here.
I read a proceedings paper by Gordon a long time ago.
Gordon H. Pregnancy in female dentists - A mercury hazard. In proceedings of the International Conference on Mercury Hazards in Dental Practice Gloscow, Scotland 2-4 Sept 1981 but have not been able to find a copy.
BTW This report Possible foetotoxic effects of mercury vapour: a case report on the woman dentist who has a baby with acrodynia satisfied you one article demand.
"P J Colquitt 1995" says "Rowland et al found lower fertility among women who did not work with amalgam compared with women exposed to low levels of mercury.' Other exposures to mercury incurred by dental assistants who do not work with amalgam was offered as a possible explanation." Get that? NO CONNECTION between being exposed to amalgam fillings and infertility.
@brenan6 . Thanks for citing me brenan6. The part in your post which is in quotation marks, was my opening statement in that paper, and I was paraphrasing Rowland et al. I went on to offer observations about other sources of mercury exposure for clinicians, such as blood pressure machines and thermometers, which dental assistants may incur. With adhesive dentistry now fairly established, I don't see the need to use amalgam at all. Older dentists will mostly be the one's who do.
@davidkennedydds Also, dont tell me what his intentions were. I understand film making. Don't hand me a tv dinner and tell me that they weren't trying to sell me a cheap low quality meal, and that really they're trying to serve me a delicious gourmet meal and i just need to look at again from a different perspective. Its crystal clear what this guys bias is. Aside from that, the film visually looks like crap. He in no way demonstrates that hes a competent film maker.
Well I am very glad to have you share your opinion. You are really Steven Spielberg aren't you hiding behind your new YouTube handle since you obviously are very familiar with film making methods.
you know, the real tragedy with this film is that there are so many other things you could be passionate about in the field of medicine. so many other wrongs you could make a film about. Instead, he chose the least respected, the least relevant and overall most bullshit topic he would find. Theres Health care and insurance failures, REAL cancer research, so many more...
I dont trust this crap at all. They are like in someones living room, we dont know anything about the "doctors" or "science" of what they are doing... (room temperature saliva representing saliva? come on... a child knows that saliva contains a lot more than simply water)
the guy they interview cites ANOTHER documentary (very vaguely i might add)...
The scary music and ridiculous analogies show just how biased this is. Like we're supposed to believe dental fillings are constantly smoking?
Belief vs. scientific evidence is the issue I see you've raised.
In 1926 Alfred Stock measured mercury in his own breath from "silver" fillings. In 1984 the NIDR and ADA acknowledged in the face of overwhelming evidence that "Silver fillings" do leak mercury but went on to claim without any evidence that those affected were only about 1% fo the population.
@davidkennedydds no, thats EXACTLY what youre saying it is. Your saying that dentists and the EPA/FDA know about this and have for 84 years and are doing nothing about. they are willingly, purposefully, poisoning people. yet you dont provide any proof that they know about it, or that they aren't doing anything about it, and the "evidence" you do have is incredible and very hard to trust due to the obvious film making gimmicks and bias the clip shows. Am i correct on what the point of this is?
i am a dental hygienist of over 35 years and have had multiple symptoms from mercury poisoning. the dentist i work with refuses to stop placing dental amalgam, and refused to look at the urine test i had done that showed elevated levels of mercury in my body. we both work in a prison and he watched the smoking tooth video at my request and then went and continued to place dental amalgams.
Please contact me regarding your options. What your employer is doing is unlawful and we've been trying to find a concerned employee who would file an anonymous complaint with OSHA. OSHA has to investigate within two weeks. If you want to see how the office should look Watch "Safer Amalgam Removal" if you want to hear how OSHA thinks dentistry should responds watch "Poison in Your Dentists Office".
i work for the state of north carolina in two of their medium security prisons in the dental clinics. when i told the dentist i work with that i was having symptoms every time he filled a tooth right next to me in the clinic, he went to admin and tried to have me fired. they wanted me to sign a form claiming to be disabled. he told me that he was going to be doing dental amalgams and if i was going to be there i would just have to grin and bear it. how can i get in contact with you?
I have a good dentist friend who is very knowledgeable about the laws of NC and will help you determine how best you can be protected and protect your job as well.
First and foremost dentists should be forced to stop implanting children with mercury and in time the problem would naturally go away. If you are concerned about your own health consequences be certain to follow the safer removal guidelines detailed on the web site of the IAOMT and viewable as a short YouTube segment on my channel.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You're just saying that because you think they cause disease. Not so. It's caused by people doing drugs, and eating food that's created in a science lab, or otherwise inflicting harm upon themselves. That's not enough mercury to cause serious harm. Maybe in the long run, but generally not. And it's not like they "leak" mercury. They are hard, and that is an obvious truth.
"That's not enough mercury to cause serious harm. Maybe in the long run, but generally not". According to the WHO, there may not be any such thing as a safe dose of mercury. The fillings may be hard, but does that mean mercury cannot penetrate it? Mercury dissolves powder metals, how could it not leak from them?
Oh, and I'm concerned with preserving longevity too, or what you called, "the long run". Who isn't?
Actually the percentage of the population with mercury (Hg) fillings at least here in California has dropped considerably in recent years because of the public distrust of the dentists affirmations of safety.
1 out of 10 will develop Alzheimer's disease in a lifetime a Hg related illness.
1 in 100 children develop autism a Hg related illness.
THE major cause of heart transplants is IDCM, a Hg related illness.
Some will show no evidence of harm but that is no excuse to cause harm to others.
Banning amalgam costs nothing and is long overdue in the US.
1 out of 6 babies have high levels of brain damaging mercury in their umbilical cord blood at birth from mother's fillings. Blood mercury drops 90% when amalgams are safely removed.
Bonded composite is not only better looking but more conservative of tooth structure leading to longer life of the tooth and reduced lifetime dental costs if the dental schools only would teach how to properly place them.
You are probably right in the US about a ban. Others have.
It will be the lawyers who finally nail the dental profession to the proverbial wall. To do that will take proof that mercury from amalgam caused a specific disorder. They already have a prime candidate IDCM. This disease is the primary cause of heart transplants and an IDCM heart has 22,000 times more mercury than a normal heart.
If they link that mercury to the victims oral history then lawyers will rejoice and the dentists quake.
holmes your an idiot... straight up... everything you say is an abberation... Grow up. Mercury is more toxic than arsenic. That is a fact. You go right ahead and keep your mercury fillings you fool, and we will expect more of the same brain damaged stupidity that comes out of your mouth...
Every statement I've made is well documented with peer reviewed scientific literature. Your refusal to acknowledge the obvious is very clear that you don't like evidence so you've decided to attack me.
"Obviously with 150 µg of mercury per day coming out the amalgam bearer's back end exposure was far greater than the 17 µg/Hg/day that got into their bodies."
The measurements are very consistent from Alfred Stock in 1926 to Boyd Haley's 2007.
Lots and lots of mercury comes off fillings both old and new that every good analytical chemist who has tried has been able to measure.
What's the contradictory about that besides it conflicts with the unsupported dogma that dentists are still being taught in their ADA approved curriculum?
1.) A microgram is one millionth of a gram. It isn't possible to see something that small, so how can this "smoking tooth" demonstration be possible?
2.) The statement: "All mercury fillings leak substantial amounts of mercury" is matter of opinion, not scientific evidence. What YOU may feel is substantial, i.e. 3-17 micrograms per day, others may feel is an insignificant amount of mercury.
1) You are seeing much more than 1 microgram only crammed into just a few centimeters. That you can easily see and I've measured the amount as well.
2) Actually the WHO is talking about absorbed dose rather than exposure. Did you read their documents? The noted Skare found >150µg per day in stool of amalgam bearers. That is an enormous dose.
If you've got some secret information about how safe the most toxic non-radioactive heavy metal is I sure hope you share it by publishing your research.
Obviously with 150 µg of mercury per day coming out the amalgam bearer's back end exposure was far greater than the 17 µg/Hg/day that got into their bodies.
If you swallow a marble it does not automatically get into your blood. The absorbed dose is the percentage that gets inside and the exposed dose is total exposure not just the poison that gets into your system.
The absorbed dose is what does the harm. Mercury not absorbed does contaminate the sewage plant though.
I got one removed two days ago by Steve Koral and now, out of nowhere, I have pain in my foot. The pain is not going away. This is making me very nervous.
I tell ya holmes2329, I never knew the extent to which the FDA and others were omitting information and contradicting themselves until I started doing research on it for a class im taking. It is NOT SAFE, and you should really do a little more reading. Go to the FDA website and look at how much they contradict themselves when they issue safety warnings to dental professionals. The word health organization and the IAOMT will both tell you otherwise. Read up, trust me.
The WHO estimated amalgams to be by far the largest exposure of humans to mercury. What you get are hundreds of little tiny puffs from each filling every day. Obviously the puff is not 3 feet by 3 feet.
So there is not 100 micrograms in each puff. It is a concentration and not a dose. To find the dose read the literature Vimy et al Estimation of Mercury Body Burden from Dental Amalgam Computer Simulation of a Metabolic Compartment Model J. Dent. Res 1986
With atomic absorption using specialized light detection equipment the minimum the GE mercury vapor analyzer can detect is 10 micrograms. So yes you are seeing a whole lot more than 10 µg. In fact. Prof. Boyd Haley who has taught this demonstration to his chemistry students for years says that the black "smoke" is well over 100 µg.
All mercury fillings leak substantial amounts of mercury. Every investigator who has tried to measure the amounts using modern techniques has confirmed this.
Even 100 micrograms would be too small to see. But how do you measure vapor anyway, and say that it's X amount of µg? Microgram is a measurement of weight.
Actually not when you use Atomic Absorption at 257 nm it shows up pretty well.
If you want to be precise then the exact terminology is µg per cubic meter.
So if the plume coming off the filling were a square meter it would contain 100 µg. Obviously most people's oral cavity isn't that large but then all of that was taken into consideration when WHO developed their very conservative estimate of exposure from amalgams.
Vimy Lorscheider did as well when the estimated daily dose from amalgams.
Yes, 10 µg is the EPA's MAX daily dose from sources other than air. The EPA MAX is 30 µg/day adult from all sources and set aside 20µg for air.
Jerome measures mercury and nothing else.
It measured a volume of vapor as you see in the video and based on the change in the conductance of a gold film it tell how much mercury was in the sample. The room started at zero but after this demonstration had jumped up to 2.0µg/M3 EPA Max for air is 0.3 so just mixing made over air pollution
I'm getting mine out in a few days. I've been saving money for about four years. I didn't know the fillings contained mercury when my parents put them in me. And then they refused to take them out.
After 15 years of health problems (pain, fatigue, panic attacks, etc.) and multiple futile attempts to do something about it, I had my 17 amalgams removed (properly). Two years later, I'm 98% cured. My blood mercury dropped from 17.4 to 4. This is not a coincidence!
You are so fortunate to have found help for your chronic mercury poisoning. So many still suffer and don't know what to do because their dental professionals continue deceptive practices. Even dental students are not being taught the fundamental basics of toxicology and how mercury enters the body and how personnel have been shown including dental students to be overexposed to mercury.
In my opinion the reason so many remain confused decades after research confirmed mercury exposure is the ADA.
No Spacesprayer: You are misinformed. Hg deadliest substance on earth, 1 cm from brain/ leaking 24/7: Have 40,000 scientific articles toxicologists US/Europe. Recovered from paralysis (MS) which is mercury poisoning, fired Mayo--gave back wheelchair and drugs. Now CEO curing others. The science is proven: industry does not want the public to be aware of "largest poisoning in history" Max Daunderer PhD #1 toxicologist in Germany--no ties to Pharma money. 90 yrs old.
My vote for the "largest poisoning in history" would go to fluoridation by the addition of hydrofluosilicic acid to the public drinking water. Dr. Daunderer doesn't have to worry in Germany as this practices is prohibited throughout Continental Europe but promoted in US.
Watch Poisoned Babies and then Fluoridation Advocate Admits Poisoning Babies.
Dentists blunder so often because they rely upon opinion and trade association dogma rather than peer reviewed science.
I watched this documentary the other day. Beside having some interesting points. I couldn't understand why or how the Grandson to Dr Gerson was over weight when they eat well and only vegan and veggies??? Being over weight is a health risk!
Are you of the opinion that every generation will exactly replicate the achievements of the previous one? If that were true then Ben Franklin's son, Governor of Pennsylvania, would probably not have joining forces with King George III against the United States of America during the revolution.
Nevertheless the genius of Dr. Gerson's therapy has helped literally thousands of people to choose better health. That knowledge makes health your choice and no one else's.
My dentist died a few months ago from cancer. He was one of the kindest men you could meet, and had been my dentist for as long as i can remember. This is a disturbing video clip indeed... It would be extremely rash and unfair to assume that this is due to exposure to Mercury and Mercury vapour, but it certainly raises questions in my mind...
I am sorry to hear that your dentist died. I am sure that if dentists were told the truth about mercury/silver tooth filling implants they would act honorably. Sadly you only have to watch "Poison in Your Dentist's Office" to see why they are not even aware that mercury is released. Truthfully this video proves that no dentist can legally open a mixing capsule without a space suit. Their staff doesn't know either. The UMKC Dental School has not complied with even one of the 8 steps.
I make no money from amalgam or composites as I retired at the turn of the century. I sincerely hope you've selected a competent dentist to remove your old mercury fillings as careless removal will expose you to enormous levels of mercury vapor and particulate mercury if he/she does not do the following:
My dentist (who works with amalgams) was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a few years ago. Only a few years later, her son came down with a rare brain stem cancer. My new dentist informed me that her work was "shoddy" and removed my silver fillings.
There were many instances in my childhood in which the fillings would fall out and be swallowed or crushed up in my gum. After that and a few flu shots with thimerosal, I developed chronic fatigue, OCD, and several autoimmune-like conditions.
There is no doubt that dentists and their staff are being poisoned by their use of amalgam mercury. it has been firmly established in the scientific literature. Occupational Safety and Health laws are intended to prevent these kinds fo avoidable injury but sadly dentists are ignorant fo the laws and seldom if ever provide their staff with meaningful informed consent.
Go watch Poison in Your dentists office to see how they are being deceived by their trade associations and their dental schools.
Those who do everything they can to maintain the status quo use not science but politics and deception to do so. To hear them tell it I must be an anti because I don't like exposing myself to smoke. I am anti-smoke.
I don't like lead so I am anti lead.
I don't like mercury so I am anti mercury.
I don't like fluoride so I am anti fluoride.
In my view I am in favor of a safe living environment free from industrial contamination. I am precautionary principle and environmental safety oriented.
Those who are concerned about mercury are correct. Those who implant mercury in teeth think of all kinds of reasons to denigrate our concerns but furnish no evidence of safety themselves. No I make no money from these videos.
There is no way water vapor is visible under these lighting conditions ever at any temperature. Only mercury shows up at this wavelength.
Dentists implant mercury for money and because they are taught to.
How many dentists tell the patient before they implant these time-release mercury fillings that the manufacturers of this product 's MSDS specifically say that is has NOT been proven safe for women and children and can cause neurological impairment.
Isn't past time for the dentists to tell the truth?
That is what these videos are about and it is also why dentists make a big effort to denigrate me but cannot think of a single valid reason why it is safe to implant time-release mercury.
Have just watched The Beautiful Truth - mercury fillings.
I worked as a Dental Attendant 50 years ago for 2 years and after married, had trouble falling pregnant and miscarried twins at 22 weeks and a macerated foetus at 20 weeks which blocked my tubes permanently. Since diagnosis of Hypothyoid about 10 years ago I have put them down to Hypothyoid. Now I am not so sure. Would you enlighten me please?
All of your symptoms including the hypothyroid condition are linked to exposure to mercury. Dentists and assistants have enormous levels of mercury in the posterior pituitary. This master controller endocrine gland can be to blame for many of the female disorders. A recent study by Jones in New Zealand found that dental nurses were much more likely to suffer from menstrual problems and have hysterectomies than their paired social equal.
It is a crime what the profession does to these women.
I find it amusing that amidst the fit being thrown over amalgam, there seems to be little concern over the "composites" being advocated to replace them. These composites contain chemicals which we also know full well to be deleterious. Taking better care of your teeth to begin with seems better than either option.
Some people have weak teeth, that despite their best efforts to protect their teeth they still get cavities. Mercury is BAD! I don't know if the new composites are that much better but I know for damn sure I don't want Mercury any where near me.
The composites are about 20% plastic 80% glass filler. In 1997 the IAOMT financed a risk assessment of composite materials and they came out pretty good actually. The dose of the elements of concern was considerably below like 1000 fold below the minimum risk levels. On the other hand the dose of mercury is well above the minimum risk levels for all recipients and there is virtually no control over exposure or intake.
Indirect composite inlays are a solution to the problem of uncured resin.
The risk assessment is not a study but merely a careful thoughtful review of the then available peer reviewed literature and certainly no one I know of in the scientific community has ever even uttered the word irrefutable.
If your only criteria for reasonably safe restorative materials is irrefutable then I suspect you should get deeply involved in prevention as the only truly safe material to make teeth out of is calcium hydroxyapatite, enamel.
I have mercury fillings when i was a young girl, last year i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism wich i don't understan because i like close to the ocean and i have a good diet where i always include iodized salt because a love salt.. I am confused
It is fascinating to hear about the evils of fluoride (after years of being told how good it is) and the impact of MSG and aspartame on brain cancer. Either The Beautiful Truth will shock you or confirm your worst suspicions, and even the skeptical will want to find out more on their own. The films technical credits are above-average.
One of the better documentaries to be released this year (or at least one of the more important ones), The Beautiful Truth is a must-see.
thank you for your clear and scientific explanations of this 'toxic' issue. I have been a dental nurse for 11 years and definately have suffered brain fog which i never had before and pins and needles, feeling low etc... especailly after large amalgam proceedures. I am also appalled to find out about the pituitary readings in stortebakers book proving that mercury vapor is directly absorbed through mucosal membranes to the pituitary and affecting endocrine and other functions. Jaye W
And my 96 year old father was a dentist as was grandfather who lived to 93. So what?
At least 3 different exceptionally sensitive genetic subsets have identified. Why allow dentists to expose anyone and everyone to mercury willy nilly?
The manufacturer's MSDS warns of harm to the fetus. Dental assistants are not told or given any protections. The fact that they have been and are harmed is in numerous peer reviewed studies. The fact that dentists are also impaired is also well established.
Meh I just saying this thing doesn't really seem that harmful. Sure, it is on some level, but so is repeatedly eating whale meat over longer periods of time, or chewing tobacco, or living in a larger city, or jogging on asphalt, or eating overdone meat, or eating UNDERdone meat; Pick your poison, mate.
Shame some of us didn't get to pick our poison, mate.
Mercury was installed in me, as a child, without my (or my parents') informed consent, by a dental professional entrusted with my family's supposed ongoing medical care.
None of your comparisons are approved as *medical treatments* here.
Is it some justification for Hg's continued use in medicine that we will be exposed to other toxins anyway...?
But what's the agenda here? In Norway at least they have stopped using mercury in dentistry, some years back. (I have my mouth stuffed with it myself) Are they continuing to use it elsewhere? If not, what? Lawsuits?
I retreat in defeat from the discussion, but one thing is certain; the new stuff they use as fillings fall out all the time and is a damn pain in the ass haha
In countries like Japan and Sweden that have taken steps to restrain mercury use and train dentists in the bonded fillings they have an excellent result. In my practice I began using bonding in 1971 and by 1984 had completely abandoned all mercury usage. My filling didn't fall out because I bonded them in. You can only bond on a prepared and dry tooth. Dental schools need to train their graduates to do good dentistry not just pack mercury in teeth. Safe dentistry saves teeth and lives.
Mercury causes harm and causes exceptionally severe harm to subsets (APOe 4/4 & CPOX) of the population.
Now that we've proven that mercury leaks out of every "sliver" filling, unless the dentist first does DNA testing to determine whether or not the recipient of the poison filling can tolerate the excessive dose of mercury, a substantial percentage of these patients will become over time ill with mercury injury.
Tell the truth and no one would say yes to a time release mercury implant.
We obviously differ in our opinion regarding the safety of exposure to mercury. Your solution is to claim others are fear mongering. This moronic response is typical of the advocates for continued mercury exposure.
My suggestion is that you ask you dentist if he/she is in compliance with the OSHA laws of your state.
They should happily furnish you multiple records (30 years) of office and employee monitoring for mercury. see Video response above.
He said the filling was 50 years old. So, now that we are using a different silver/copper to mercury ratio. The fresh amalgam off gases for awhile then stops. or so I thought.
We could hope and pray that they would stop leaking mercury but unfortunately that simply does not happen. Thus we see the stark difference between wishes and scientific documentation.
All experiments done in the last 50 years looking for mercury coming off set dental amalgam have found substantial amounts of mercury.
Dentists like Mackert pencil-whip experimental findings to estimate low levels but the fact that his low estimate did not satisfy the experimental results should be of concern.
There are people with these implants giving off vapor 24\7 for that guy to where a mask for even a few hours worth of exposure is pure ridiculousness and hipe. Even if it is bad for you (I am not saying it is not) If people are walking around with fillings like this 24/7 and not dropping dead the exposure you are going to get is going to be safe.
While it is true many people do have fillings out gassing 24/7 it is also true that some do dropped dead. if your criteria for a safe filling is lack of instant death, this filling material will suit you fine.
Personally I have had more than enough heavy metal oxidative stress in my body already but I am perfectly happy for you to ignore this information at your own risk.
I am glad to see that while you discount the risk you do acknowledge that they out gas mercury. . lots of mercury.
More people should realize this!. It really is incredible what amalgam fillings do to people

For you I am very happy to hear that your dentist is aware of the problems mercury presents and has chosen to not use this antique mercury-leaking material and OSHA compliant.
Like the video says according to modern dental care "drilling away 1/3 of an otherwise healthy tooth to fix a pin head sized cavity is simply the wrong thing to do."
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything Yes it is a computer and uses a small sample to calculate how much is in a cubic meter of air. Vimy adjusted for this in their peer reviewed and published paper using 50 cc as the size of the mouth. Mackert the paid spokesperson for the trade association didn't like their numbers so he took out his pencil and ESTIMATED a much lower amount. WHO allowed him to speak and then ignored his pencil whipping as they said his estimate did not fit the empirical data. WHO Criteria 118.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything Sadly although you may realize that mercury poses a danger to those with excessive exposure a recent Zogby poll found that 76% of the public did not realize that there was even mercury in a so called "Silver" filling much less by far the largest source of human exposure to mercury.
EPA restricted air hg and fish with over 1 ppm mercury in the meat are FDA banned autopsy finds at death the amount of mercury in your brain is proportional your amalgam fillings.(Eggleston 1987)
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything
It is not about how you measure. It is about the reproducible numbers from multiple different studies.
I've sent you basic inorganic chemistry measurements (Stock), then gas chromatography (Svare), followed by a Jerome Mercury computer sniffer and back to fundamental inorganic chemistry (Haley) where they put it in a test tube and then measure how much leaked out. The fact that mercury leaks out regardless of how you measure utterly refutes the many claims of safety.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything The Jerome is accurate down to about 2 ppm when it takes a 10 second sample. if you are in a high exposure area you should only use the 1 second sample which will dilute the results by 10. So when you open the capsule there is an area near the capsule well over 1000.
I wouldn't want to be holding that capsule but thousands of women assistants do. Rowland in 1994 documented a 40% increase in infertility from occupational exposure to dental mercury in a case controlled study.

davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything The next record of measuring was Gay et al in a letter to Lancet 1979 but no data. Carl Svare in 1981 published his exhaled breath study and measured on average 15µg/m3 using gas chromatography. Followed by Snapp in 1983. And in 1984 the NIDR/ADA joint Biomaterials conference acknowledged amalgams leaked mercury.
1985 Vimy et al measured the intra oral level with a Jerome Sniffer and in 1986 estimated daily dose at 15 µg/day. WHO 1991 estimated 17 but may range much higher.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything That is another question entirely that I'd be more than happy to address.
The first was Alfred Stock who in 1926 used a leather bag and distilled his own dessicated breath to obtain a droplet of mercury. He did a scientific proof by turning it red by oxidation. Only Hg oxide is a red residue. He calculated 10 µg/M3 by measuring the drop and suing calculus to calculate the amount.
He chose leather because he knew mercury vapor would escape through rubber.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything What you are saying is the old dental myth that students in the US are still taught today. Alfred Stock proved in 1926 the oxide layer myth leaks. Yes it does form but Stock was able to meticulously measure elemental mercury vapor coming from his own mouth only when amalgams were present. After they were removed he no longer had mercury breath.
But these Hg fillings didn't leak in about many different ways including vapor, particulates, blood & nerve ion migration.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything Yes the oxide layer inhibits some elemental mercury release however you missed the point.
Exposing the anyone to enormous levels of elemental mercury vapor is unlawful. Employees may be present ONLY if the 7 OSHA rules are applied after informed consent and including HG monitoring of the person and facility, instituting engineering controls, work practices and providing protective equipment. The MAX is 100 never to be exceeded even instantaneously. Mixing grossly exceeds MAC
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything One of the consultants on this video was my good friend Professor Boyd Haley. He invented the molecule used in affinity labeling. It blows up when hit with light. That is definitely light stimulated.
You can put an amalgam in a black jar. Let it sit statically at room temperature for a while and every time you take the lid off the jar the smoke rises and you can use a Jerome to measure LOTS of mercury. All amalgams leak but stimulation increases it dramatically.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything FYI General Electric made a mercury detector in the 70's that was accurate down to 10 ppm but that is with the machine detecting light change at 253.7nm which is the atomic absorbance for mercury. The machine is much more accurate than the eye so in the video the script says "if you can see it the smoke is more than 100 times the level allowed by the EPA which is 0.3µg/m3. We estimated that a faint wisp "smoke" is at least 30 ppm and black is near 1000!
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything No not really by the light. The light is a fluorescent bulb which is mercury so when the element is electrically stimulated it releases light in the mercury vapor absorbance wavelength of 253.7nm. The light sits several inches away from the tooth to shine on the reflective screen but with very little heat. If you just shine the light and do nothing to the tooth then no vapor is seen but this is a very old rough way to evaluate mercury. The Jerome is much more accurate.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@davidkennedydds The Jerome has to suck in a quantity of air in order to measure mercury air quality so distance is zero. It uses a gold film and is much more accurate than older AA visual methods. As for light stimulating the amalgam if that were a significant factor we should be able to "see" some smoke before we stimulated the filling mechanically but above the limits of detection. Since as I said AA is a crude method it is certainly possible there may be some but too little to measure.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
@PortalToEverything Yes by DR. Eichman scraping them with his pocket knife. Since we wanted the heavier than air mercury vapor to fall we did not heat this sample this time. Hot air rises and so does hot mercury so he merely stimulated the old filling by scraping. It is not a difficult experiment to replicate.
davidkennedydds 7 months ago
I have a question about this though, they say the tooth is at least 15 years old, how long ago was the amalgam filling actually put into the tooth? If it's from the 1970s wouldn't it have been made with the older more dangerous compound and not what is used today?
CWSites 7 months ago
@CWSites
As I recall he said 50 years-old not 15. In my first demonstration "Smoking Teeth" we used a 25 year-old amalgam hence the statement that "all amalgams leak substantial amounts of mercury." It has been measured for over 85 years from all kinds.
New amalgams aren't safer. Have you got any idea of how much MORE popular high copper brands now leak than the older ones did.
Copper makes them shiny and leak many FOLD more. More NOT less so why do you claim otherwise?

It is either insane or terribly evil and I can see arguments for both concepts. Richardson 2011 mercury from amalgam exceeds the level known to cause considerable harm.
Watch "Poisoned Babies" and see almost exactly the same idiotic approach to dental care without any regard for the dose of toxicity substances implanted or swallowed. Even the National Academy of Science acknowledges that the amount ingested by many in our society will exceed the levels known to cause harm.

That makes the use of amalgam very costly to society and the individual.

"Heavy metals and fertility" said nothing at all about dentistry.from "The effect of occupational exposure to mercury vapor on the fertility of female dental assistants" i found "Whether the mercury that accumulates is biologically active and therefore able to interfere with endocrine or reproductive function is not known." and "Three small studies have looked at pituitary and thy-
roid function in subjects with chronic exposure to mercury vapour. The results were
ambiguous."
brenan6 1 year ago
The entire thing is BS. If amalgam fillings outgassed this much mercury vapor under normal conditions the filling would deteriorate and fall apart within a couple of years. Even if they didn't fall out the mercury would be gone. If that is mercury vapor at all, something has been done to the teeth they're using to cause such a reaction.
Raithere67 1 year ago
@Raithere67 Hmmm, lets see who is doing the BS here.
An average mercury/silver filling has 750 miligrams of mercury or 750,000 micrograms. EPA has set a maximum daily mercury intake from sources other than air of 10 µg. So one filling contains enough mercury to max your dose for 205 years. Yet when we analyze a 25 year old filling we find 50% of the mercury is already gone. Thus 1 filling doses you at 41 times the EPA maximum dose.

@davidkennedydds "Yet when we analyze a 25 year old filling we find 50% of the mercury is already gone."
Right... because its out gassed into your bodies and is killing us... not that maybe 25 years of chewing could perhaps ware down the filling? Chip off bits and pieces? No... it cant be that simple, its got to be a conspiracy. the government is trying to kill us.
brenan6 1 year ago
@brenan6
No I wasn't talking about wear because those figures are truly enormous. I was merely talking about the mercury content of aged amalgams. When you put one so called "silver" filling made using standard mixing and packing techniques into room temperature water with no stimulation it loses mercury at the rate of 10 micrograms per day on average.
Some samples leaked a lot more. Average person has 12 fills. So amalgams deliver about 120 times the EPA max dose if you never chew.

Background music and what you refer to as a "spooky" voice does not make the film inaccurate. When dealing with facts it is hard to have a bias. Silver amalgams contain mercury. That is fact. Mercury vapors leak off of the fillings as we have seen in this demonstration and as I have seen/read from other sources. Mercury is toxic. It is pretty simple. That is why many dentists now offer choices for fillings and also offer to pull old silver amalgams out and put something safer in.

@brenan6
Their tests as you may be aware are fundamental analytical chemistry. There are a number of ways to measure mercury but the hardest is how the famous German scientist Dr. Alfred Stock did it in 1926. He blew his own breath into a leather bag dessicated it and then distilled it to find a shiny droplet of a liquid metal. He oxidized it and it turned red. Mercury oxide is red. That is called a chemical proof. He calculated 10 µg/M3 breath. I have the translation. Do you want it?

Vimy in 1985 and more recently in the horribly unethical orphan's study they showed a spike in urine mercury with the first fillings and followed over 7 years a slow decline as the child became unable to excrete mercury through the urine.
Boyd in 1991 showed this effect in sheep, a more appropriate model to study the toxicological impact of mercury.

@brenan6 Very good you got my point perfectly.
Why would any learned professional put a time-release mercury filling in a tooth and then deceptively call it silver?
A recent Zogby poll found that 76% of the American public wasn't even aware that silver fillings have any mercury much less contain 50% mercury. That's my point. No conspiracy just stupidity.
The dentist do it because they were taught to do it and they were told (incorrectly) that the filling leaks no mercury. Daah!

Dental personnel are clearly injured (Rowland 1994) We c0ontacted OSHA and they have so far refused to enforce the employee protections that are the law. Dentists cannot legally open a capsule without protecting their staff and getting their consent. Few comply with these laws.
Dental Schools are not only work places but schools and thus a much stricter EPA standard applies 0.3 µg/M3. Every dental school I've tested so far fail this required test.
davidkennedydds 1 year ago
I work for the Institute for Systems Biology. I have access to any medical journal article I need. I just read Rowland 1994 and nowhere did it say anyone was conclusively injured by being exposed to mercury. "As a group, dental assistants have urinary mercury concentrations higher than the general population and cases of mercury poisoning have occasionally been reported. Most dental assistants, however, have urinary mercury concentrations well the recommended exposure limit proposed by theWTO."

Rowland found a 40% decline in fecundability in a large case controlled study, a woman's ability to conceive a child. He controlled for weight, age, smoking, frequency of copulation. His work agrees well with many others.
What you are doing is hiding behind scientific uncertainty. We know mercury is toxic and can harm so why allow a dentist to implant the time-release filling at all. It is simply criminal to allow the dentist to claim that mercury does no harm.
U show Hg is safe.

With adhesive dentistry now fairly established, I don't see the need to use amalgam at all. Older dentists will mostly be the one's who do.

Belief vs. scientific evidence is the issue I see you've raised.
In 1926 Alfred Stock measured mercury in his own breath from "silver" fillings. In 1984 the NIDR and ADA acknowledged in the face of overwhelming evidence that "Silver fillings" do leak mercury but went on to claim without any evidence that those affected were only about 1% fo the population.
1% of Toyotas do not have sticking gas peddles.

You're just saying that because you think they cause disease. Not so. It's caused by people doing drugs, and eating food that's created in a science lab, or otherwise inflicting harm upon themselves. That's not enough mercury to cause serious harm. Maybe in the long run, but generally not. And it's not like they "leak" mercury. They are hard, and that is an obvious truth.
holmes2329 2 years ago
"That's not enough mercury to cause serious harm. Maybe in the long run, but generally not". According to the WHO, there may not be any such thing as a safe dose of mercury. The fillings may be hard, but does that mean mercury cannot penetrate it? Mercury dissolves powder metals, how could it not leak from them?
Oh, and I'm concerned with preserving longevity too, or what you called, "the long run". Who isn't?

Banning amalgam costs nothing and is long overdue in the US.
1 out of 6 babies have high levels of brain damaging mercury in their umbilical cord blood at birth from mother's fillings. Blood mercury drops 90% when amalgams are safely removed.
Bonded composite is not only better looking but more conservative of tooth structure leading to longer life of the tooth and reduced lifetime dental costs if the dental schools only would teach how to properly place them.

They will never ban it.
holmes2329 2 years ago
You are probably right in the US about a ban. Others have.
It will be the lawyers who finally nail the dental profession to the proverbial wall. To do that will take proof that mercury from amalgam caused a specific disorder. They already have a prime candidate IDCM. This disease is the primary cause of heart transplants and an IDCM heart has 22,000 times more mercury than a normal heart.
If they link that mercury to the victims oral history then lawyers will rejoice and the dentists quake.

1.) A microgram is one millionth of a gram. It isn't possible to see something that small, so how can this "smoking tooth" demonstration be possible?
2.) The statement: "All mercury fillings leak substantial amounts of mercury" is matter of opinion, not scientific evidence. What YOU may feel is substantial, i.e. 3-17 micrograms per day, others may feel is an insignificant amount of mercury.
holmes2329 2 years ago
1) You are seeing much more than 1 microgram only crammed into just a few centimeters. That you can easily see and I've measured the amount as well.
2) Actually the WHO is talking about absorbed dose rather than exposure. Did you read their documents? The noted Skare found >150µg per day in stool of amalgam bearers. That is an enormous dose.
If you've got some secret information about how safe the most toxic non-radioactive heavy metal is I sure hope you share it by publishing your research.
davidkennedydds 2 years ago
That doesn't make sense. If their absorbed dose is 17 per day, max, then how could they find 150 in stool?
holmes2329 2 years ago
Think of it like this:
Obviously with 150 µg of mercury per day coming out the amalgam bearer's back end exposure was far greater than the 17 µg/Hg/day that got into their bodies.
If you swallow a marble it does not automatically get into your blood. The absorbed dose is the percentage that gets inside and the exposed dose is total exposure not just the poison that gets into your system.
The absorbed dose is what does the harm. Mercury not absorbed does contaminate the sewage plant though.

The WHO says that they release only 3-17 micrograms of mercury per day. So how can you see mercury vapor coming off the fillings?
holmes2329 2 years ago
The WHO estimated amalgams to be by far the largest exposure of humans to mercury. What you get are hundreds of little tiny puffs from each filling every day. Obviously the puff is not 3 feet by 3 feet.
So there is not 100 micrograms in each puff. It is a concentration and not a dose. To find the dose read the literature Vimy et al Estimation of Mercury Body Burden from Dental Amalgam Computer Simulation of a Metabolic Compartment Model J. Dent. Res 1986
EPA's MAX is 10/day so 17 is a lot!
davidkennedydds 2 years ago
A microgram is one 1 millionth of a gram. If you are saying that a maximum of 17 micrograms are released, per day, then you could not see this.
holmes2329 2 years ago
With atomic absorption using specialized light detection equipment the minimum the GE mercury vapor analyzer can detect is 10 micrograms. So yes you are seeing a whole lot more than 10 µg. In fact. Prof. Boyd Haley who has taught this demonstration to his chemistry students for years says that the black "smoke" is well over 100 µg.
All mercury fillings leak substantial amounts of mercury. Every investigator who has tried to measure the amounts using modern techniques has confirmed this.
davidkennedydds 2 years ago
Even 100 micrograms would be too small to see. But how do you measure vapor anyway, and say that it's X amount of µg? Microgram is a measurement of weight.
holmes2329 2 years ago
Actually not when you use Atomic Absorption at 257 nm it shows up pretty well.
If you want to be precise then the exact terminology is µg per cubic meter.
So if the plume coming off the filling were a square meter it would contain 100 µg. Obviously most people's oral cavity isn't that large but then all of that was taken into consideration when WHO developed their very conservative estimate of exposure from amalgams.
Vimy Lorscheider did as well when the estimated daily dose from amalgams.

And you're telling me that 10 micrograms is a lot? Get real. I don't understand the results of this Jerome mercury sniffer.

Yes, 10 µg is the EPA's MAX daily dose from sources other than air. The EPA MAX is 30 µg/day adult from all sources and set aside 20µg for air.
Jerome measures mercury and nothing else.
It measured a volume of vapor as you see in the video and based on the change in the conductance of a gold film it tell how much mercury was in the sample. The room started at zero but after this demonstration had jumped up to 2.0µg/M3 EPA Max for air is 0.3 so just mixing made over air pollution

You are so fortunate to have found help for your chronic mercury poisoning. So many still suffer and don't know what to do because their dental professionals continue deceptive practices. Even dental students are not being taught the fundamental basics of toxicology and how mercury enters the body and how personnel have been shown including dental students to be overexposed to mercury.
In my opinion the reason so many remain confused decades after research confirmed mercury exposure is the ADA.

My dentist (who works with amalgams) was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a few years ago. Only a few years later, her son came down with a rare brain stem cancer. My new dentist informed me that her work was "shoddy" and removed my silver fillings.
There were many instances in my childhood in which the fillings would fall out and be swallowed or crushed up in my gum. After that and a few flu shots with thimerosal, I developed chronic fatigue, OCD, and several autoimmune-like conditions.

All of your symptoms including the hypothyroid condition are linked to exposure to mercury. Dentists and assistants have enormous levels of mercury in the posterior pituitary. This master controller endocrine gland can be to blame for many of the female disorders. A recent study by Jones in New Zealand found that dental nurses were much more likely to suffer from menstrual problems and have hysterectomies than their paired social equal.
It is a crime what the profession does to these women.

I find it amusing that amidst the fit being thrown over amalgam, there seems to be little concern over the "composites" being advocated to replace them.

batigol47 3 years ago
The composites are about 20% plastic 80% glass filler. In 1997 the IAOMT financed a risk assessment of composite materials and they came out pretty good actually. The dose of the elements of concern was considerably below like 1000 fold below the minimum risk levels. On the other hand the dose of mercury is well above the minimum risk levels for all recipients and there is virtually no control over exposure or intake.
Indirect composite inlays are a solution to the problem of uncured resin.

Things may indeed have improved, but the studies done by a group such as your own hardly can be considered as irrefutable evidence.

The risk assessment is not a study but merely a careful thoughtful review of the then available peer reviewed literature and certainly no one I know of in the scientific community has ever even uttered the word irrefutable.
If your only criteria for reasonably safe restorative materials is irrefutable then I suspect you should get deeply involved in prevention as the only truly safe material to make teeth out of is calcium hydroxyapatite, enamel.

BIasphemer 3 years ago
In countries like Japan and Sweden that have taken steps to restrain mercury use and train dentists in the bonded fillings they have an excellent result. In my practice I began using bonding in 1971 and by 1984 had completely abandoned all mercury usage. My filling didn't fall out because I bonded them in. You can only bond on a prepared and dry tooth. Dental schools need to train their graduates to do good dentistry not just pack mercury in teeth. Safe dentistry saves teeth and lives.
davidkennedydds 3 years ago
Mercury causes harm and causes exceptionally severe harm to subsets (APOe 4/4 & CPOX) of the population.
Now that we've proven that mercury leaks out of every "sliver" filling, unless the dentist first does DNA testing to determine whether or not the recipient of the poison filling can tolerate the excessive dose of mercury, a substantial percentage of these patients will become over time ill with mercury injury.
Tell the truth and no one would say yes to a time release mercury implant.

We obviously differ in our opinion regarding the safety of exposure to mercury. Your solution is to claim others are fear mongering. This moronic response is typical of the advocates for continued mercury exposure.
My suggestion is that you ask you dentist if he/she is in compliance with the OSHA laws of your state.
They should happily furnish you multiple records (30 years) of office and employee monitoring for mercury. see Video response above.

He said the filling was 50 years old. So, now that we are using a different silver/copper to mercury ratio. The fresh amalgam off gases for awhile then stops. or so I thought.

We could hope and pray that they would stop leaking mercury but unfortunately that simply does not happen. Thus we see the stark difference between wishes and scientific documentation.
All experiments done in the last 50 years looking for mercury coming off set dental amalgam have found substantial amounts of mercury.
Dentists like Mackert pencil-whip experimental findings to estimate low levels but the fact that his low estimate did not satisfy the experimental results should be of concern.

There are people with these implants giving off vapor 24\7 for that guy to where a mask for even a few hours worth of exposure is pure ridiculousness and hipe. Even if it is bad for you (I am not saying it is not) If people are walking around with fillings like this 24/7 and not dropping dead the exposure you are going to get is going to be safe.

While it is true many people do have fillings out gassing 24/7 it is also true that some do dropped dead. if your criteria for a safe filling is lack of instant death, this filling material will suit you fine.
Personally I have had more than enough heavy metal oxidative stress in my body already but I am perfectly happy for you to ignore this information at your own risk.
I am glad to see that while you discount the risk you do acknowledge that they out gas mercury. . lots of mercury.

The other doctor's mask, although reported to have selenium impregnated in it, didn't
