Jan, you're like the Mercury Avenger or something... We are not the
one you should be convincing. Get FDA to do studies and the dentists
will follow their recommendation.

Why? Can't the dentists do the right thing?
You should know the FDA, AMA and ADA have done NO studies proving *mercury*
amalgams to be safe.

Do you post the risks in your office? Give your patients' consent forms?

Why would anyone be interested in the games you ae playing? Perhaps you
should spent less time playing, and more
time doing the right thing.

Two such studies were published in JAMA earlier this year. If you ever
say again that there have never been any studies then you will be
revealed as a liar.

Yawn. She's "proof" against that, as previous demonstrations
have made clear.

"There are no studies" is often a claim by anti-science nitwits.
However, if one looks, one finds.

It's a smokescreen. The Great Consphiracy has those faked up
just so that its agents (like you two) can cite them.

Oral galvanism and Electromagnetic Fields(EMF): factors along with mercury's
high volatility and extreme toxicity in significant exposure levels and oral
effects from amalgam fillings. B. Windham(Ed.)
Having dissimilar metals in the teeth(e.g.-amalgam, or gold and mercury, or
stainless steel and mercury) causes galvanic action, electrical currents,
and much higher mercury vapor levels and levels in oral tissues. (1-11,30)
The amount of mercury released into saliva has been found by large studies
to be about 1.5 to 1.9 micrograms per liter for each additional amalgam
filling (26). The amount of mercury released by a gold alloy bridge over
amalgam over a 10 year period was measured to be approx. 101
milligrams(mg)(60% of total) or 30 micrograms(ug) per day(7), and other
studies have found similar results( 4). Average mercury levels in gum tissue
near amalgam fillings are about 200 ppm, and are the result of flow of
mercury into the mucous membrane because of galvanic currents with the
mucous membrane serving as cathode and amalgam metals as anode(1-4).
Concentrations of mercury in oral mucosa for a population of patients with 6
or more amalgam fillings taken during oral surgery were 20 times the level
of controls(14), and levels in root tips of 41 ppm(5). Amalgam also releases
significant amounts of silver, tin, and copper which also have toxic
effects, with organic tin compounds formed in the body being even more
neurotoxic than inorganic mercury.

Mercury and other metals accumulate in the oral cavity in fibroblasts,
macrophages, and multinuclear giant cells of connective tissue, in blood
vessel walls, along nerve sheath fibres, in basement-membranes of mucosal
epithelium, striated muscle fibres, along collagen bundles and elastic
tissue, in acini of salivary glands, and in tooth roots and jaw bones(5,11).
Such mercury including that in the commonly formed amalgam tattoos moves to
other parts of the body over time in significant amounts and more rapidly
than the other metals. Macrophages remove mercury by phagocytosis and the
mercury moves to other parts of the body through the blood and along
nerves(5). Most dentists are not aware of the main source of amalgam
tattoos, oral galvanism, where electric currents caused by mixed metals in
the mouth take the metals into the gums and oral mucosa, accumulating at the
base of teeth with large fillings or metal crowns over amalgam base(1-5).
Such metals are documented to cause local and systemic lesions and health
effects, which usually recover after removal of the amalgam tattoo by
surgery(5fghi). The high levels of accumulated mercury also are dispersed to
other parts of the body.

Amalgam fillings produce electrical currents which increase mercury vapor
release and may have other harmful effects(1-14,38). These currents are
measured in micro amps, with some measured at over 5 micro amps. A clinic
with considerable experience dealing with problems of oral galvanism found
that currents over 5 microamps usually cause significant health problems
such as headaches, migraines, dizzyness, nausea,etc. which was eliminated
when amalgam fillings were replaced(20). The central nervous system operates
on signals in the range of nano-amps, which is 1000 times less than a micro
amp(38). The metals also have electrical potentials which can be measured in
millivolts(mV). One clinical study determined that electrical potential
differences of over 50 mV were pathological(9b), causing galvanism,
leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, or toxic or allergic reactions to
restorations(9a,1-8). In most subjects with amalgam fillings, potential
differences of more than 50 mV are present between restorations(9a), with
potentials ranging from -417 mV to +150 mV. Negative potentials may be more
pathological than positive ones. The average potential for metal crowns and
bridges was

154 mV and for brace brackets was 71 mV(9a).

Negatively charged fillings or crowns push electrons into the oral cavity
since saliva is a good electrolyte and cause higher mercury vapor
losses(11,1-6). Patients with autoimmune condtions like MS, or epilepsy,
depression, etc. are often found to have a lot of high negative current
fillings(11). The Huggins total dental revision(TDR) protocol calls for
teeth with the highest negative charge to be replaced first(11). Other
protocols for amalgam removal are available from international dental
associations like IAOMT(45) and mercury poisoned patients organizations like
DAMS(46). For these reasons it is important that no new gold dental work be
placed in the mouth until at least 6 months after replacement.

Some studies have also found persons with chronic exposure to
electromagnetic fields(EMF) to have higher levels of mercury exposure and
excretion(33c,38). Such fields are known to induce current in metals and
would increase the effects of galvanism. EMF is also documented in animal
and human studies to cause cellular calcium efflux and affect calcium
homeostasis (39,40), which may be a factor in the reduction of melatonin
levels caused by EMF exposure in animal and human studies(40,41). In studies
on chicks this had significant adverse effects on viability of embryos and
chicks. Melatonin is known to be protective against mercury and free radical
activity, as well as regulating the circadium rhythym cycle and sleep cycle.
EMF exposure lowers melatonin production and disrupts the sleep cycle(41).
Since mercury is known to have some of these same effects and EMF exposure
increases mercury exposure in those with amalgam, it is not clear in humans
the relative role of the causality mechanisms. Occupational exposure to
higher levels of EMF have also been found in many studies to result in much
higher risk of chronic degenerative neurological conditions such as ALS(42),
Alzheimer's Disease (43,33c), as well as Leukemia and Cancer(44,47,33c).
Pooled analysis of 3,247 cases of childhood leukemia in Europe, North
America and New Zealand published last year found increased rate of leukemia
in those with high EMF exposures, over 4 microgauss(47a). Studies in UK
found that one in 200 British children are exposed to high levels of
electromagnetic radiation in the home and that this could be doubling their
risk of leukaemia(47). Since EMF causes increased mercury exposure in those
with amalgam, and mercury is also known to cause these conditions, again it
is not clear the relative importance of the factors since the studies were
not controlled for mercury levels or number of amalgam fillings.

Studies have shown that mercury in the gums such as from root caps for root
canaled teeth or "amalgam tattoos" result in chronic inflammation, in
addtion to migration to other parts of the body(5,10,15). Mercury, tin, and
silver from amalgam fillings can be seen in the tissues as amalgam
"tattoos", which have been found to accumulate in the oral mucosa as
granules along collagen bundles, blood vessels, nerve sheaths, elastic
fibers, membranes, striated muscle fibers, and acini of minor salivary
glands(5,10). Dark granules are also present intracellularly within
macrophasges, multinucleated giant cells, endothelial cells, and
fibroblasts. There is in most cases chronic inflammatory response or
macrophagic reaction the the metals(5,30), usually in the form of a foreign
body granuloma with multinucleated giant cells of the foreign body and
Langhans types. Mercury levels are often over 1000 ppm near a gold cap on an
amalgam filling due to higher currents when gold is in contact with amalgam
(8,9c,11,12,13). Similar levels as high as 5000 ppm have been found by
German oral surgeons in jaw bone under large fillings or gold crowns(37).
These levels are among the highest levels ever measured in tissues of living
organisms, exceeding the highest levels found in chronically exposed
chloralkali workers, those who died in Minamata, or animals that died from
mercury poisoning(29). The FDA Action Level for mercury in fish or food is 1
ppm. Warnings are given at 0.5 ppm, and the EPA health criterion level is
0.3 ppm. Some of the oral effects of mercury that have been documented
include gingivitis, oral lesions, pain and discomfort, burning mouth, "metal
mouth", chronic inflamatory response, leukoplakia, lichen planus, autoimmune
response, oral cancer, trigeminal neuralgia, alleric reactions,
etc.(4,5,9a,11,15,19,22,23,25,26,30-35)

The component mix in amalgams has also been found to be an important factor
in mercury vapor emissions. The level of mercury and copper released from
high copper amalgam is as much as 50 times that of low copper amalgams(16).
Studies have consistently found modern high copper non gamma-two amalgams
have greater release of mercury vapor than conventional silver amalgams
(17-21). While the non gamma-two amalgams were developed to be less
corrosive and less prone to marginal fractures than conventional silver
amalgams, they have been found to be unstable in a different mechanism when
subjected to wear/polishing/ chewing/ brushing: they form droplets of
mercury on the surface of the amalgams(3,23,24). This has been found to be a
factor in the much higher release of mercury vapor by the modern non
gamma-two amalgams. Recent studies have concluded that because of the high
mercury release levels of modern amalgams, mercury levels higher than
Government health guidelines are being transferred to the lungs, blood,
brain, CNS, kidneys, liver, etc. of large numbers of people with amalgam
fillings and widespread neurological, immune system, and endocrine system
effects are occuring(25,26,27,28).
