According to the World Health Organization, there are several common health concerns associated with human ingestion of Mercury, including: Harmful effects on the nervous, digestive and immune systems, the lungs and kidneys. Mercury has even proven to be fatal. A list of central nervous system/neurological disorders have been observed after inhalation, including, mild tremors, insomnia, memory loss, neuromuscular effects, headaches, as well as cognitive and motor dysfunction. These health concerns have lead to a significant need for mercury removal from the body.
Amalgams used for dental fillings are composed of more than 50% Mercury and as they break down and vaporize over a period of years, you are inhaling this potentially harmful heavy metal. Daily activities like brushing your teeth or drinking hot liquids increase the vaporization and ingestion of Mercury, from your fillings, into the body. It may be time to consider a SAFE Mercury removal for your overall body health.
How does the Mercury in my fillings get into my body?
As your old Mercury-silver Amalgam fillings degrade and break down over time you are likely inhaling vaporous Mercury into your respiratory system. The World Health Organization estimates up to 17mcg of Mercury is inhaled per day from fillings. Ingesting Mercury is the number one way it can cause damage to your body and mind.
The Mercury you inhale can be absorbed by the lungs, which can lead to a variety of respiratory health issues, including:
- Bronchitis
- Asthma
- Persistent coughing
- Bad breath/halitosis
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and have Mercury-silver Amalgam fillings it might be time to consider SAFELY removing them.
Mercury and your reproductive system
One of the frightening realities of Mercury ingestion is the possibility of damage to your reproductive organs. When you ingest Mercury, it can collect within the reproductive organs and potentially cause a wide array of issues. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information some of the effects of Mercury on your reproductive system include:
- breast cancer
- endometrial cancer
- endometriosis
- spontaneous abortions
- pre-term deliveries
- stillbirths
- Hypotrophy
Mercury crosses the placental barrier in a pregnant woman and directly affects the fetus. One of the reasons women have been advised to stay away from diets heavy in ocean caught fish is to help avoid exposure to Mercury. The same concerns often exist from inhaled Mercury, even post-pregnancy, many women will continue to measure the amount of Mercury in their breast milk to avoid ingestion by a newborn.
Your brain function
Mercury has the ability to absorb into the nervous system and affect the way your brain should normally function. The Mercury and Methylmercury contained in the amalgam passes through the blood-brain barrier, making Mercury a particularly dangerous substance to your brain. In addition, Mercury can also negatively affect the endocrine glands of the brain that control the hormone systems of your body.
Here are some of the other symptoms of Mercury damage in the brain according to MedicineNet.com:
- Memory loss
- Difficulty in processing information
- Fogginess (Brain Fog)
- Mood changes
- Lack of coordination (musculature and hand-eye)
The symptoms of Mercury poisoning are well documented and affect the human body in many ways. Avoidance of heavy metal exposure is recommended by major medical publications all over the world.
