Default Vaccine quote of the week by Bernard Rimland, PhD

Righto Jason ... part of the Healthfraud Disinformation on mercury
allergies was spread by Probert last year ... here is an excerpt from
my page on him when he lied about mercury poisoning (too) like
propagandist Jeff did.

BTW ... Jeff Utz went thru med school ... got a degree ... got a
RESTRICTED license ... then never got a real unrestricted Med
License! Even so ... he was claiming he was a Pediatrician ... those
quack/healthfrauds sure have wild imaginations!

"Remember, you cannot have an allergic reaction to Mercury."

As part of the Disinformation Campaign put out by the vast dental
industry denying the dangers of mercury and amalgam, Probert parroted
this lie. There is an enormous amount of information available as to
the subset of individuals who show a strong allergic reaction to
mercury. Here is but a small sampling.

Illena,

We are in agreement, mercury should NOT be used in dental filling.

You must have ESP. We were discussing this issue and I found a Pub Med
report realted to the same case:

Recovery from mercury-induced burning mouth syndrome due to mercury allergy.
Pigatto PD, Guzzi G, Persichini P, Barbadillo S.

Department of Dermatological Sciences, University of Milan, Ospedale
Maggiore-IRCCS, Milan, Italy.

We report a case in which burning mouth syndrome (BMS) was associated with
a strong allergy to mercury. The aim of this case history is to strengthen
knowledge of the relationship among allergy to mercury, systemic allergic
contact dermatitis, and hypersensitivity of the oral mucosa. We performed
series of standard and dental patch tests for screening for contact
allergy to dental materials, in accordance with International Contact
Dermatitis Research Group guidelines. Positive extreme allergic reactions
to mercury (+++) and amalgam (++) were seen at the patch site and caused a
flare-up of the systemic erythematous reaction. Full recovery from BMS and
complete remission of systemic dermatitis were achieved after the mercury
tooth filling was removed. Mercury is thought to be an allergen implicated
in BMS as well as in the systemic reactivation of allergic contact
dermatitis. Patch testing with dental series seems to have greater
sensitivity and relevance in BMS patients.

An often overlooked, but extremely important source of toxic material is the
mercury from silver [mercury] amalgam fillings. Some people who are aware of
the situation are confused by the mixture of information available.
Unfortunately, statements from dental trade organizations and on a few
poorly-researched news reports have muddled the situation.

Here are a few facts about mercury amalgam fillings:


Causes Damage to Brain in Children
In February, 1998, a group of the world's top mercury researchers announced
that mercury from amalgam fillings can permanently damage the brain,
kidneys, and immune system of children.


Amalgam Fillings Linked to Neurological Problems, Gastrointestinal Problems
The first large-scale epidemiological study of mercury and adverse reactions
was recently completed and showed that of the symptoms looked at, there was
a link seen to gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, concentration
problems, memory disturbances, lack of initiative, restlessness, bleeding
gums and other mouth disorders.


Mercury / Alzheimer's Disease Connection Found
A study related to mercury and Alzheimer's Disease was recently completed by
a team of scientists led by well-respected researcher Dr. Boyd Haley. They
exposed rats to levels of mercury vapor diluted to account for size
differences between humans and rats. The rats developed tissue damage
"indistinguishable" from that of Alzheimer's Disease. Repeating the
experiment showed the same results. Dr. Haley is quoted as saying "I'm
getting the rest of my fillings taken out right now, and I've asked my wife
to have hers replaced too." Also see:
http://www.holistic-dentistry.com/artalzeimer.asp


Amalgam Fillings Since 1970s Unstable
The type of mercury fillings that began to be used during the last couple of
decades, non-gamma-2 (high copper), releases many times more mercury than
the older style of amalgam fillings. Also, please see the article on the
instability of dental amalgam fillings by Ulf Bengsston.


Amalgam Fillings Release Highly Toxic Elemental Mercury
Mercury is one of the most toxic substances known. The mercury release from
fillings is absorbed primarily as highly toxic elemental mercury vapor.


Amalgam Fillings Largest Source of Mercury By Far
Based on a number of studies in Sweden, the World Health Organization review
of inorganic mercury in 1991 determined that mercury absorption is estimated
to be approximately four times higher from amalgam fillings than from fish
consumption. Recent studies have confirmed this estimate. The amount
absorbed can vary considerably from person to person.


Gold Crowns, Gum, Bruxism, Computer Monitors Increase Release of Mercury
Significantly
Gum chewing, grinding of teeth/bruxism, computer terminal exposure, presence
of gold fillings or gold crowns (even if covering mercury fillings), teeth
brushing, braces, and chewing cause the release of significantly increased
amounts of mercury from the fillings. Also, please see the following short
review related to increases in mercury exposure from dissimilar metals in
the mouth, exposure to magnetic fields, chewing, etc.


Cumulative Poison and Builds Up in Organs
Mercury released from fillings builds up in the brain, pituitary, adrenals,
and other parts of the body.


Mercury Amalgam Fillings Effect Porphyrins
Preliminary results from the first detailed biochemical analysis (scroll
half-way down) of patients who removed mercury amalgam fillings showed a
significant drop in the excretion of porphyrins (important to heme
synthesis -- heme carries oxygen to red blood cells), as well as a number of
other key biochemical changes. Also, see the Video of the preliminary
results from the study.


Potential Contribuatory Factor in Other Diseases
Mercury from amalgam fillings has been implicated as a possible
contribuatory factor in some cases of Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's
Disease, IBS, reproductive disorders, allergies, and a variety of other
illnesses.


Mercury Build Up in Brain, Organs and Breast Milk of Fetuses of Mothers With
Amalgam Fillings
Mercury from fillings in pregnant women has been shown to cause mercury
accumulation in brain, kidneys and liver of human fetuses (all of the areas
tested). Studies have shown that mercury can be passed to infants from
breast milk.


Proper Removal of Fillings Produces Eventual Health Improvement
A recent study published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine related
to the proper removal of mercury amalgam fillings from 118 subjects showed
an elimination or reduction or 80% of the classic mercury poisoning
symptoms. In many cases, it took 6 to 12 months after mercury amalgam
removal for the symptoms to disappear.


World-reknowned Experts Agree About Potential Danger
In contrast to statements from dental trade organizations, toxicologists and
medical researchers are often quite concerned about the use of mercury. Lars
Friberg, the lead toxicologist on the World Health Organization team looking
at inorganic mercury and health effects recently stated that he believes
that mercury is unsuitable for dental materials because of safety concerns.


Canadian Class Action Lawsuit
Canadians are in the process of beginning a major class action lawsuit based
on the fact that the government knew of but did not warn the public about
mercury dangers from amalgam fillings. Legal actions related to mercury
exposure from mercury amalgam fillings and vaccines are beginning in the
United States. For more information and a directory of Mercury-free
dentists, please see the TalkInternation.com web site.


Obviously, not everyone experiences acute toxicity effects from the mercury
in amalgam fillings. However, virtually everyone does have mercury build up
in their bodies from implantation of such fillings. The large increase in
mercury exposure from the newer non-gamma-2 mercury fillings means that only
time will tell how much damage has been caused by daily exposure to mercury
to such fillings.

I do not recommend that people assume automatically that they will be healed
by the removal of amalgam fillings. Many people are helped tremendously and
some are healed. The 80% figure for people showing improvement within a year
likely refers to people who had good reason to suspect that they were being
significantly effected by the fillings. The percentage of people in the
general population who might experience health improvement within one year
after removal is probably much lower than 80%. I recommend going into the
mercury amalgam removal procedure knowing that, at the very least, you will
have removed yourself from a regular exposure to an extremely toxic material
such that it will not build up in your organs and possibly cause significant
health problems at a later date.

Mercury amalgam fillings should be removed only by dentists with experience
using the IOAMT mercury amalgam removal protocol (presented with the
permission of the excellent Preventive Dental Association web page). Such
dentists are often experienced with proper evaluation and placement of
composite fillings, both of which can be crucial for the success of the
treatment. Biocompatability tests are often important in determining which
composite materials can be safely used. I believe that composite (plastic)
fillings are a better replacement than metal (e.g., gold) fillings even in
chemically-sensitive individuals. They are, however, not without safety
questions, but are still likely to be much less toxic than mercury amalgam
fillings. Proper placement of composites should be left to experienced
amalgam removal dentists as the average well-meaning dentist may not be
aware of the newer placement techniques.

Further scientific information can be found at Mercury Adverse Effects Web
Page, 150 Year's of Russian Roulette Web Page, Alt Corp's Amalgam Page, and
Bo Walhjalt's Mercury Articles Web Page. More information about removal,
detoxification, and placement of composite fillings can be found at
Bioprobe, Inc. and at the Preventive Dental Association. Information about
finding a dentist practicing non-toxic dentistry can be found on the
Resources For Related to Non-Toxic Dentistry web page. Also, the AMALGAM
mailing list can be a good source of accurate, up-to-date information.


http://www.amalgam.org/

Today, I am announcing legislation to disclose and phase-out the last major
use of Mercury in the human body. The fillings that organized dentistry
wrongly calls "silver" are mainly Mercury, not "silver."
Mercury is the major ingredient in each filling, about one-half gram per. In
the words of Professor Boyd Haley of the University of Kentucky, that is a
"colossal" amount of Mercury in scientific terms - as much, in fact, as is
in a thermometer. A teenager with six fillings has six Mercury thermometers
worth of Mercury in his or her mouth.
The Mercury in the fillings is volatile, such that - as all authorities
concede - poisonous vapors are constantly being emitted from the fillings,
more so when one chews or passes hot liquid over the teeth. The Agency for
Toxic Substances & Disease Registry of the United States Public Health
Service reports that those poisonous vapors go first to the brain and
kidneys. For the developing brain - and by that I mean a child's brain - a
major health risk exists.
It is in fact children who are at greatest risk from these fillings.
Why don't consumers already know this?
American Dental Association tells the public that the fillings are safe. The
ADA does not tell the public that it accepts payments from the amalgam
manufacturers while it pronounces their product safe. I wish to note that
the American Medical Association has a policy prohibiting the organization
from taking money for product endorsements. The ADA, by contrast, accepts
money from the manufacturers of the products it endorses, which certainly
hurts its credibility in my mind.
The public does not know about the presence of Mercury and its risks for two
reasons. First, the fillings are falsely called "silver." This term is
deceptive, because there is much more Mercury than silver in the product.
It's time to call it what it is, and quit hiding the large presence of
Mercury.
Second, the ADA has a rule that gags dentists from talking about the risks
of Mercury amalgam, a rule that some dental boards enforce against dentists
who call for the elimination of Mercury in dental fillings. I understand
that rule is being challenged by dentists in federal court in Maryland based
on the First Amendment.
Mercury amalgam is dangerous before it is put in the mouth - any dental
journal will tell you that - and it is considered hazardous waste after it
has been removed. Who can conclusively say it's safe in between, when it is
in our bodies?
A major social justice, or environmental justice, issue exists here. While
the public lacks informed choice, low- and moderate-income people have it
worse: they have no choice at all! For families on Medi-Cal, the children
get Mercury - or nothing. It is outrageous that low-income Americans are
forced to have such a toxic material put in their mouths. I understand that
the Rhode Island legislature adopted a law this year to provide choice in
insurance plans, and that the state of Maine permits Medicaid children to
get alternatives to amalgam - so, yes, we can do it differently.
Mercury, and all other poisons in the body, hurt the body's immune system -
its ability to withstand diseases and biologically harmful agents. If at any
time in our nation's history we need strong immune systems, it is now. The
stronger our bodies, the more able we are to fend off biological agents that
have so tragically been placed in our midst.

Jan,
Please post any study results that indicate the amounts of mercury that
pregnant women that have several dental fillings (or even root canals)
pass on their babies. That could be one of the causes of autism and other
mental problems such as A.D.D. I know about those people in Japan that
ate fish that was contaminated with methymercury--it led to severe
neurologic deficits. Any pregnant women that ate that fish probably passed
on the methymercury to their babies. I wonder if any of those babies in
Japan developed autism. I should point out that the article that I read
about that mercury catastrophe in Minamata Bay, Japan did not even mention
whether any of the people that ate that contaminated fish were pregnant
women.

You must have ESP. We were discussing this issue and I found a Pub Med

Recovery from mercury-induced burning mouth syndrome due to mercury allergy.
Pigatto PD, Guzzi G, Persichini P, Barbadillo S.

Department of Dermatological Sciences, University of Milan, Ospedale
Maggiore-IRCCS, Milan, Italy.

We report a case in which burning mouth syndrome (BMS) was associated with
a strong allergy to mercury. The aim of this case history is to strengthen
knowledge of the relationship among allergy to mercury, systemic allergic
contact dermatitis, and hypersensitivity of the oral mucosa. We performed
series of standard and dental patch tests for screening for contact
allergy to dental materials, in accordance with International Contact
Dermatitis Research Group guidelines. Positive extreme allergic reactions
to mercury (+++) and amalgam (++) were seen at the patch site and caused a
flare-up of the systemic erythematous reaction. Full recovery from BMS and
complete remission of systemic dermatitis were achieved after the mercury
tooth filling was removed. Mercury is thought to be an allergen implicated
in BMS as well as in the systemic reactivation of allergic contact
dermatitis. Patch testing with dental series seems to have greater
sensitivity and relevance in BMS patients.


That is very interesting for several reasons.

Firstly, I had been under the impression that there was no allergy to
mercury. Someone posted an article/abstract addressing that point, and I
agreed that I was in error.

Second, the fact that conventional medicine is looking into the problem
refutes much of the misinforation and wacko conspiracy theory bandied
about here.

And, thirdly, I am heartened that you have finally started to do some of
your own research.

Rag-tag Healthfraud Probert claimed:

mercury.

Puhleeez ... you were just repeating the quackwatch propaganda and I
busted you. You are under MANY impressions based on Barrett's quackery
that has no validity and repeat them until someone (me perhaps) stops
you.

It's like your buddy Utz disinforming the public "there's no evidence
that silicon (his misspelling) implants ever hurt anyone."

PR is supposed to subtle ... and YOU use every means possible to get
Pharma / Med device propaganda spread on Usenet and Blogs, Probe.

Bet he wishes he had used his education for something other than
attempting to infiltrate my support group with his lies.

Mark,
Thanks for your post. Do you believe that children that have allergic
reactions to mercury would develop autism if they were given a vaccine
containing thimerosal?

Do you think that children that have allergic reactions to mercury would
develop autism if they ate fish contaminated with methylmercury?

My answers would be "no" and "no." Even if autism were caused by mercury,
and there is no evidence that it is; whatever autism is, it is NOT an
allergic response. Even people who are severely allergic to substances do
not suffer brain anomalies as a result. And if autistics had allergies of
the sort that Ilena's father had, the connection would be well known and
documented. So the children in your examples would have allergic reactions,
not autism.

Rich,
Research studies should be done on children that have allergic reactions
to mercury. For example, those children should be injected with thimerosal
and examined about once a month to determine the effects that mercury had
on their brains and bodies. You do not believe they would develop autism
but it's possible you may be wrong. Do you know whether or not those sorts
of studies have ever been done? I hope that you are correct.

There is a reason why only a small number of children develop autism and
it's possible that allergies to mercury may be the reason. Only research
studies could rule in or rule out allergies to mercury as the cause of
autism.
