"..dentists in this country control the human immune system."
Hal Huggins D.D.S., M.S. (Immunology) U.S.A.
a)Pioneer of biological & mercury-free dentistry in U.S.A.
b)His research shows that 90% of people are reactive to mercury fillings based on studies done on 3500 people.
c)Most of his patients' health conditions improved or cured after the removal of their amalgam.
d)He was harassed & persecuted for trying to save Americans from dental mercury poisoning.
Fellow Malaysians, doctors, doctors of Complementary Medicine, & dentists of this country, I urge you to read the many publications, books and the testimonies of former victims of amalgam poisoning and also information from the internet in order to update your knowledge on the dangers of dental amalgam. More than 1400 studies found in professional journals concerned with the toxic effects of amalgam. Not even one scientific study in any of those journals proves the safety of mercury fillings. Meantime millions of people worldwide suffer needlessly from various diseases, not suspecting that their dentists may be the cause of their health problems.
In New York, Dr. Alfred Zamm's work shows that many conditions with mysterious causes, ranging from allergies to multiple sclerosis, can be cleared up if mercury amalgam fillings are removed. Dr. Thomas Rau, Medical Director of the Paracelsus Clinic, Switzerland, said that "80% of chronic diseases including cancers can be traced to the dental area." Dr. Hulda R. Clark, an American scientist who cured hundreds of terminally ill cancer patients at stages 4 & 5 since 1992 would not allow any of her patients to keep their amalgam, composites, root canal teeth, crowns & dentures during therapy. All these might depress their immune systems. No wonder she gets results.
Dentists, if you are truth seekers, do not just depend on your association for facts. No association is quick to admit any fault, but it is there to defend & protect the interest of its members. Recently two Malaysian doctors (one a dentist) have called for the banning of mercury amalgam in dental fillings. Will our government ban mercury fillings? No, not likely yet. Knowing that something is bad for our health but not banning it is nothing new to us. Must one wait for the government to ban cigarettes before one stops smoking?
For example, if the U.S. government bans the use of amalgam on grounds that it is unsafe for human health, do you know what would happen next? The whole American dental industry would be ruined by lawsuits. People with any ill would then point a finger at their dentists, amalgam manufacturers and also at Uncle Sam. So their best defense, is to continue to say that there is no proof that amalgam can harm the masses, except may be a handful, who are allergic to mercury.
If you are sickly and even your doctors do not know why, you had better investigate the dental connection, and whether you belong to that "handful"? Try to recollect whether your health problems manifested before or after the installation of amalgam, or root canal precedures.
Dentists have debated over the safety of amalgam fillings for more than a century. In Science & Medicine, there should not be any controversies. The fact that the world is round is not debatable. And the fact that mercury is poisonous to the human organism is also not debatable. If a controversy exists in Science or Medicine, someone in power may be trying to "save face" (too egotistic to admit a mistake) or trying to cover-up or trying to make money. Medical controversies almost always co-exist with business politics.
If amalgam had never existed before, and if someone today tries to get it registered, it would never be approved because it contains 50% or 500,000 p.p.m. of mercury. Just 1 p.p.m. of mercury in food is considered unsafe for human consumption. But amalgam was approved for use about 150 years ago and an industry had already been built around it. Change is hard to come by. But change it will, only if consumers refuse to use it. Learn to SAY "NO" TO AMALGAM.
But if we do not use amalgam, what then is the alternative? The alternative is to use "composites". Amalgam is easier to work with, and saves time for dentists. It usually takes only 3 steps to get it done, while it may take twice the number of steps to get a composite in. It also needs more skill to make composites stay in the cavities longer. Most dentists argue that amalgam lasts like forever. But dentists Hal Huggins have this to say: "The real issue is, which is more important, the life of the filling or the life of the patient?"
Dentists have always assured us that the mercury stays within a filling and does not come out. That the amount of mercury vapour emitted from an amalgam is undetectable. Then in 1979, mercury vapour analysers (meters) became available. With an industrial meter it takes only 2 minutes to find out the amount of mercury vapour coming off one's fillings. Take another reading after chewing gum for 10 minutes, the mercury vapour could go up from 2 to 8 times that is currently allowed in factory air. In the U.S., factories would be shut down by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) if their air exceeds 50 micrograms per cubic metre (mcg/m3) of mercury vapour. It is ironic that no one cares about the 100 to 400 mcg/m3 of mercury vapour in our mouths. Be careful, kissing after meals can be hazardous to your health.
Dentists and dental staff are always warned not to touch amalgam with their bare fingers. And they must properly dispose scrap (leftovers) amalgam so as not to contaminate our environment. No wonder dentist Jerry Timm was right when he told the ADA (American Dental Association) that "the only safe place to store amalgam is in the mouth." That is why we "suckers" keep sucking on the amalgam with the assurance that it is safe.
Logically speaking, if you had a cavity in your front tooth, would your dentist fill it with unsightly amalgam? Never! He would use composites, the colour of which can be chosen to match the colour of your tooth. Composites can be used for all cavities. The question is, if there is already an alternative filling material which is less toxic to the human organism, why then do dentists still prefer amalgam? You were already told the answer: "Amalgam is easier to work with, and saves time for the dentists." 'Time is money but then our health is not worth a cent to the dentists' you may retort. Do not get emotional because most dentists are very sincere people. They may be misled by information obtained from their associations, who in turn got their misinformation from their bigger brothers in the United States. Amalgam industry's business must go on, right or wrong, at the expense of our health.
Everyone knows that mercury is dangerous to our health. When we have a choice, we should choose the lesser of the 2 evils. Choose composites instead of amalgam. Tell your dentists what you want. Consumres have rights, too. I cannot understand what is blinding people to the truth. Jesus said, "When you know the truth, the truth shall set you free." John 8:32. Set free from the lies of the amalgam industry, the insincerities & the insensitiveness of dental associations. Set free from amalgam-caused diseases.
Doctors & patients of Complementary Medicine, your success in getting therapeutic results depends on 2 important procedures:-
a)Detoxification: To detox means to remove toxins or poisons from our bodies.
How can we truly detox if we continue to keep the source of toxins or poisons in our mouths?
b)Boosting up the immune system. A depressed immune system (loaded with toxins) is useless in the fight against diseases.
Dr. David Eggleston of Santa Monica, USA did an experiment on a female patient with amalgam fillings. He found that her immune system component (T-lymphocytes) measured 47%. Normal range 70 to 80%. He removed her amalgam and in 3 weeks time her T-lymphocytes population went up to 73%, showing an improved immune capacity. He then re-inserted the amalgam and her T-lymphocytes went down to 55%. Finally, he removed her amalgam fillings again and her T-lymphocytes bounced back to 72%.
How can we effectively boost up our immune system with nutrients without first doing the detox?
