Tips from ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr Diane Meyer

While most dentists no longer use mercury fillings, many of us still have
mercury in our mouths from past dental work. Many governmental and health agencies such as the (ATSDR) Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry and the (NIOSH) National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health have found that that these fillings can be a major health risk. Silver-amalgam fillings are classified as hazardous waste even before placement in the body, and hazardous waste after removal from the body.

ChicagoHealer.com practitioner Dr. Diane Meyer, DDS, explains how mercury
is processed in the body and symptoms of potential mercury poisoning as
recognized by the ADA.

Mercury will store:

  • 1st in the kidney
  • 2nd in the liver
  • 3rd in the neurological tissue
  • 4th in the GI tract, and then in the rest of the tissues

Symptoms related to mercury are vast; be on the lookout for the following symptoms:

  1. Tremor observed in fine voluntary muscle movement, such as handwriting, eventually progressing to convulsions.
  2. Depression, fatigue, increased irritability, moodiness, nervous excitability – especially when criticized.
  3. Inability to concentrate, loss of memory.
  4. Insomnia or drowsiness.
  5. Nausea and diarrhea.
