Is Mercury in Fillings Really a Problem?

Is Mercury in Fillings Really a Problem?: "Is Mercury in Fillings Really a Problem?

May 29, 2001 -- Chances are, you have had a tooth cavity that needed to be filled. It's a pretty common occurrence. But how often have you have stopped to wonder what those fillings contain -- and what you carry around in your mouth for decades?
According to the American Dental Association, or ADA, up to 76% of dentists use silver fillings containing mercury when filling a tooth. Although the substance used for silver fillings, known as amalgam, has been in use for more than 100 years, the fillings are controversial because of claims that exposure to the vapor from the mercury can cause a variety of health problems ranging from joint pain to multiple sclerosis.
The ADA maintains the fillings are safe and says studies have failed to find any link between silver fillings containing mercury and any medical disorder.
And the ADA is not alone in its position. The CDC, the World Health Organization, the FDA, and others support the use of silver fillings as safe, durable, and cost-effective. The U.S. Public Health Service has said there is no health reason not to use silver fillings, unless a patient has an allergy to a component in the amalgam. The ADA says fewer than 100 incidents of such allergy have ever been reported.
But Bill DeLong, DDS, a dentist in Ellicott City, Md., says the ADA's claim that the mercury in silver fillings doesn't cause health problems is 'bogus.'
DeLong, who does not use silver fillings, has been brought before his state dental board twice for talking to patients about the safety precautions he uses in his office -- including a mercury vapor detector -- when removing fillings for people who want or need them repla"

Biological Dentist Houston Dr.William P. Glaros D.D.S

Biological Dentist Houston Dr.William P. Glaros D.D.S: "Biological Dentistry is the practice of the best elements of conventional dentistry with attention to many 'extra considerations' It reflects, on multiple levels, an appreciation for the relationship of the teeth and oral cavity to the rest of the body.
Any dentist can claim to be a biological dentist. Typically, the journey begins with an interest, then a concern about implanting mercury in people's teeth. Dr. Glaros started there in the early 1980's and by 1984 made the decision to stop placing that material. Soon patients were coming to him requesting removal of existing mercury fillings and asking about patient protection protocols. Those questions sent Dr. Glaros to study with his first mentor for Biological Dentistry, Dr. Hal Huggins, in 1985. Through the years of study and meetings as a member of the American Academy of Biological Dentistry, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and the Holistic Dental Association, Dr. Glaros has chosen to implement Biological Dentistry at the following level.
Starting in 1984 he placed no mercury fillings, then no nickel restorations, then only the same compatible metal. We currently are placing virtually no metallic restorations (maybe 3 or 4 per year). Replacement of missing teeth is also done metal-free.
Working with other like-minded health-care providers we can assess compatibility of dental materials, nutritional support, unchallenged and challenged levels of mercury excretion, and meridian stress assessment.
Our in-office training, practice, and instrumentation allow us to assess bone density using ultra-sound waves (Cavitat), to assess toxicity potential of teeth (Topaz) and to increase microcirculation to surgery sites. We use Anadyne to minimize micro-fracturing of tooth enamel (micro-air"

DrEddyClinic.com :: SANUM Therapy

SANUM Therapy is a comprehensive natural, holistic healing system used successfully, worldwide, for over 50 years. It is the world’s only process that utilizes the complete natural system of homeopathic and isopathic medicines.

Based upon the concept of pleomorphism, and working homeopathically and isopathically, SANUM Therapy is designed to work with and affect the living internal environments, or biological “milieus” of patients. Doctors evaluate patients from a standpoint of what is affecting each patient’s milieu, and then determine how the individual remedies may be prescribed in respect to the various conditions associated with a disease process.

The goal is to help support the entire body and to remove any barriers that may be preventing patients from maximizing their genetic health potential.

SANUM Therapy are designed to help restore balance within each of seven health co-factors by working to:
Assist in regulating internal ecology (pH and cell respiration)
Support beneficial microflora
Improve immune function and microcirculation
Compensate for dietary mineral and vitamin deficiencies
Assist in repairing organs and systems
Remove (detoxify) lifestyle and environmental blockages
Reduce the effects of biochemical stress

SANUM Therapy may either be used as a treatment modality alone, or in conjunction with all forms of integrative or complementary medicine such as acupuncture, classical homeopathy, botanical medicine, drainage systems, nutrition, and conventional allopathic therapies.

The application for SANUM Therapy is so broad that its remedies are prescribed by medical, osteopathic and naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, dentists, acupuncturists, nurse practitioner.

DrEddyClinic.com :: View topic - Günther Enderlein (1872-1968) of Germany: "Günther Enderlein (1872-1968) of Germany is the researcher who will forever be inseparable from pleomorphism, isopathy and homeopathy.

Dr. Enderlein built upon the research of Antoine Béchamp and proved that blood is not sterile, and that a microorganism can appear in various developmental stages and in diverse forms, without the loss of its specific characteristics.

Through intensive research, Dr. Enderlein came to the conclusion that the monomorphistic perspective of disease conditions favored by Dr. Louis Pasteur and others could no longer be maintained, and that a pleomorphic perspective more accurately reflected the disease process.

Dr. Enderlein discovered in 1916 that primitive microorganic forms prepared in a remedy, when combined with a change in the biological terrain (or milieu) of the body, can cause virulent forms to return to their original avirulent condition, bringing healing to the host body.

He found that when the tiniest, mobile living forms of bacteria, which he called “spermits,” exchanged genetic material with higher developmental organisms, the highly developed organisms became suddenly invisible, having been broken down to their primitive, avirulent forms. Using this knowledge, he developed homeopathic and isopathic remedies from fungal cultures. When these living remedies contact virulent microbial masses, the masses are induced to return to their avirulent form, and then leave the body through the natural organs of elimination.

Enderlein devoted his whole life and all of his scientific work to proving this thesis and to developing the homeopathic and isopathic remedies that rose from it.
