People's lives are being destroyed by ignorant dentists who implant mercury without any regard to individual susceptibility to the toxic effects of mercury. Two different genetic subsets have already been identified that makes a person extremely susceptible: CPOX+ and APOe 4/4.

This video shows better than any other discussion I've seen why mercury is linked to Alzheimer's Disease. The hallmark histologic finding of AD is neurofibrillary tangles. Nerves that clump together and form a wad of nerves rather than connecting the brain together in a systematic fashion. Tubulin is the insulation for nerves. Adding tiny amounts of mercury cause the insulation to fall off the

Poisoned Babies

2009-04-22T11:09:00.001-07:00

Why is it most people seem to not care if they poison the children? This is no longer being debated. It is a fact. The dose of fluoride an infant receives from drinking a baby bottle made up with fluoridated tap water is many times the EPA's old minimum risk level and hundreds of times the amount a breast fed infant would receive. Why is that OK? While it is visibly damaging the children's teeth

FDA and Mercury hit the fan with BS

One of the primary reasons why the mercury from amalgam controversy has lasted so long is the volumes of misinformation that are pumped from both dental academia and the American Dental Association that gets quoted in the press as fact. The motto of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology is;"show me the evidence"They don't have any evidence of safety so they obfuscate what

I haven’t been over blogging on the IAOMT.blogspot.com site for many months simply because I’ve been besieged by comments on YouTube. In addition, I’ve been working on the problem of Poisoned Babies. No, I don’t have any children but I do care about my country. If you allow the dental industry to poison the brains of the children of this country then we lose the country.Brain damage is what

Smoking Teeth Confusion

2007-04-02T07:31:00.001-07:00

Dr. Laidler’s criticism, Response to: "Smoking Teeth" - the truth gets "smoked out", reduces to the following propositions. First, he contends that what is actually being seen is water vapor; and second, since mercury is a heavier molecule than the other constituents of air (i.e. oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc) the mercury vapor could not rise, but would fall toward the floor. This

FDA Dental Materials Panelist Calls For Informed Consent

Dr. Michael Fleming, an International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology dentist, served as a consumer representative on the recent FDA panel reviewing the so called "White Paper" on 'Silver' fillings. Since these fillings are more than 50% mercury is is consumer deception to call them 'silver'. A recent Zogby poll found that 76% of the public was not even aware that mercury is in an amalgam

Greetings from your newly installed president. The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology’s 20 years of effort in funding primary research into the safety of dentistry had a lot to with the recent decision of the FDA advisory panels on amalgam. I would like to express to you my deep concern over the issue of amalgam not only as a practicing dentist but a caring human being. It

When I received what was then the latest edition of The Merck Manual, the compendium of differential diagnosis and treatment in internal medicine, I discovered that this centenary edition included a facsimile of the first publication printed in 1899. Recently, out of curiosity, I went to the index of that slender volume and counted 19 different mercury compounds listed for various therapeutic

Mercury-free dentists have devised strategies to reduce the amount of mercury exposure to both patients and dental staff during amalgam removal. The strategies are the barrier and ventilation techniques as well as the “biological support” nutritional methods that “treat” the anti-oxidant and excretory systems stressed by heavy metal exposure.Full Article in Adobe Acrobat format from link:

The Scientific Case Against Amalgam

2007-01-26T12:32:00.000-08:00

Dental amalgam has been controversial ever since it was introduced, early in the nineteenth century, because of its mercury content. People of the Napoleonic era knew full well that mercury was poisonous, and the best that anyone has ever claimed about amalgam is that the mercury exposure may be too small to hurt anyone. Over time, though

By Boyd Haley, Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky Anyone who cares about the health of our children would be wise to consider the flaws in the two recent JAMA papers about studies that were conducted in Portugal and New England and that compared youngsters with dental mercury fillings with those who were amalgam free[1] [2]. In designing their studies, the authors of these

Our physician colleagues at the American Medical Association, sadly and surprisingly, allowed two flawed papers about mercury silver dental fillings to be published in its flagship journal, JAMA, on April 19, 2006 [1] [2]. Financed with $11 million from the U.S. taxpayer supported NIDCR, the two studies purported to examine in a prospective fashion whether or not installing these mercury fillings
