![]() ![]() In addition, mercury increase pro-inflammatory cytokines, interferes with intestinal nutrient transport, and depletes existing stores of essential antioxidants be destroying damaging free radicals in the body.ĭental toxicity, particularly mercury-based dental fillings have been linked to neurological problems (dizziness, ringing in the ears, headaches and tremors), cardiovascular (irregular heart beat, changes in blood pressure, pain/pressure in chest), respiratory (persistent cough, shallow/irregular breathing), immunological (allergies, swollen lymph node, asthma, sinusitis), infertility and autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s Thyroid and Sjogren Syndrome. Mercury can be dangerous as it binds with Sulphur in the body (essential for biochemical processes) and destroys the blood-brain barrier allowing different molecules to pass to the brain. Mercury levels can be tested via breath, stool, blood and urine.Īmalgam fillings are made with a mixture of copper, silver, and mercury. Metals and procedures used in dentistry produce toxins, for example the presence of mercury in amalgams, titanium in implants and the exposure of toxic chemicals like formaldehyde in root fillings. Animal studies have shown mercury released from amalgam restorations is absorbed and accumulated in various organs such as kidney, brain, lung, liver, gastro-intestinal tract, and the exocrine glands. It is the main route of entry of mercury into the human body, whereas the absorption of metallic mercury through skin or via the gastrointestinal tract is very poor. Metallic mercury can be inhaled and absorbed through the alveoli in the lungs at 80% efficiency. This process eventually results in modern chronic disease. ![]() The single or combined toxicity can lead to issues in the digestive tract (inflamed or infected gut, poor nutrition/absorption) leading to defective detoxification in liver and kidneys causing a build-up of toxic load and weakening the immune system. There are two types of toxins external toxins (drugs, chemicals, etc) and internal toxins (mercury fillings, dental and medical metals, focal infections, etc). Toxins are substances that act as a poison. Do you have mercury fillings? Read below to find out about mercury fillings and the association with toxicity and the impact on health. ![]()
