The Truth About Mercury Fillings |

More than 25 years ago, I resigned as a Fellow of the prestigious Academy of General Dentistry. This was in protest to their refusal to look at the possible negative health effects of using dental fillings that were mostly mercury, since mercury is a known poison. Since then, the American Medical Association, the American Dental Association, and the Food and Drug Administration have strenuously fought every protest and law suit from an increasing group of concerned doctors and patients. Big Med and the Feds have ceaselessly insisted there is no health concern with mercury-containing fillings. They are a powerful lobby, with many friends in Congress. Fighting them has, until now, been frustrating and unsuccessful. Colleagues of mine, like Dr. Richard Fischer of Annandale, Virginia have tirelessly campaigned against these organizations in an effort to get them to at least give some thought to the arguments against mercury fillings. Currently, Dr. Fischer tells me there are efforts being made to get the FDA to ban mercury fillings entirely. As it is, the FDA has just issued a ruling reversing all the smoke and mirrors they have put up over the past couple of decades. This reversal is especially important and far reaching, because it validates our contention that mercury fillings pose a substantial health threat. They are a "dental focus" as discussed in an earlier chapter.
And so, it appears, another well known "scientific fact", that there is no harm to putting mercury fillings into a person's mouth, proves to be false. Perhaps you can begin to see the tremendous problem this represents, not just because the fillings contain the poisonous mercury, but also because the metal fillings generate harmful electric currents. These currents are what we described earlier as "dental focal disturbances". To eliminate the cause rather than treat the symptoms means many people with strange or unresolved health issues should consider having these fillings removed and replaced. But no one wants to go to the dentist and replace dental fillings that seem to be in perfect working order. That misses the point. Getting rid of the mercury is reason enough. Additionally, we do our bodies no favor if we fail to recognize the electric currents can endanger the health of distant organs along the acupuncture meridians (See Reinhold Voll in section on Energy Medicine).
