The Dangers Of Mercury

The average american has 7 mercury fillings. It's kind of like holding seven leaking mercury thermometers in your mouth 365 days a year, 24 hours per day! --- Dr Michael Ziff, Executive Director of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.

Mercury is still widely used as mercury amalgams even though the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) had classified dental amalgams as a toxic waste in 1988. In other words, if a dentist were to dump a dental amalgam in a lake or bury it in the ground somewhere, he would be guilty of breaking the law. But if this same dentist places this same substance in someone's mouth, then it would no longer be considered a threat. Does this make sense to you?

In his book Mercury Free, Dentist Dr James E Hardy had the following to say on the subject:
There has never been a dental filling material so long used and so long opposed. Even when it was introduced in the United States in 1934, physicians called mercury's use in tooth repair 'malpractice'.

Mercury is dangerous, more poisonous than lead or arsenic. Dental amalgams are composed mostly of mercury. They release mercury vapor into the body 24 hours a day. And, although a dozen new filling materials have been shown to be superior to mercury amalgams, they are still the most often used material in dentistry.

The fact that mercury is toxic is not debatable. Immune disorders, kidney conditions, neurological complications as well as many chronic illnesses are directly associated with mercury poisoning.

The World Health Organization(WHO) has concluded that a single amalgam will release 3-17 mcg of mercury into the system, unequivocally making amalgam fillings the main source of exposure.

Dr Richard D Fischer, a practicing dentist in Annandale, Va. and past president of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, gave this testimony before Congress on November 14th, 2002:

Dental amalgam fillings contribute more mercury to burden the body than than all other sources combined. These fillings contain 50%+ mercury --- which is more neurotoxic than lead, cadmium, or even arsenic.

To put this in perspective, the amount of mercury contained in one dental amalgam exceeds the U.S. EPA standard for human exposure for over 100 years. Put in other terms, it takes only 1/2 gram of mercury(the amount in one filling) to contaminate all the fish in a 10 acre lake.

Scrap amalgam mercury, that unused portion of the filling material remaining after the filling is placed into a tooth, must by law be handled as a toxic waste disposal hazard. It cannot be thrown into the trash, buried in the ground, or incinerated. Yet some will justify storing this same mixture in people's mouths just inches from the brainstem and declare it harmless!!

Published research shows that between 14-75% of the mercury found in municipal waste water systems originated from dental offices. Mercury in this form ultimately finds its way into our rivers, lakes, bays, and oceans where it undergoes a bioconversion by bacteria into methyl mercury --- the form which commonly contaminates fish and shellfish.

In this form, when eaten, 90-100% of the mercury is absorbed. It was this compound which caused the tragedy in Japan's Minimata Bay in the 1970's when hundreds of people were poisoned and many died as a result of eating mercury contaminated fish.

How does one detox the mercury overload in the body? Getting rid of the amalgam fillings is the first step. Using health products such as Chlorella, Cilantro, French Green Clay all help detox the body of heavy metals. Mercury is used in nearly all vaccines, now listed as Thimersol. It is also in many pharmaceutical drugs.

Are Vaccines Safe?

Well, I will have to emphatically state "No, they are not safe". But this is my opinion, based on what I've learned over the years. Following is information coming directly from U.S. medical doctors and the Center For Disease Control(CDC). Bold print are statements from these doctors.


Vaccination is a controversial subject, and many parents worry about subjecting their children to them. Readers of my article, "Mercury on the Mind," about vaccines and dental amalgams, have asked what vaccines I would recommend their children receive. This article addresses that question.

In the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 12 vaccines are given to children before they reach the age of two. Providers inject them against the following:

* Hepatitis B
* Diphtheria
* Tetanus (lockjaw)
* Pertussis (whooping cough)
* Polio
* Pneumococcal infections


* Hemophilus influenzae type b infections
* Measles
* Mumps
* Rubella (German measles)
* Chickenpox
* Influenza (the flu)

Infectious disease was the leading cause of death in children 100 years ago, with diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever and pertussis accounting for most them. Today, the leading causes of death in children less than five years of age are accidents, genetic abnormalities, developmental disorders, sudden infant death syndrome and cancer. A basic tenet of modern medicine is that vaccines are the reason. There is growing evidence that this is so, but perhaps not quite in the way conventional medical wisdom would have it.

The Conventional Schedule

A 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices at the CDC decides which vaccines should be on the Childhood Immunization Schedule. It calls for one vaccine, against hepatitis B, to be given on the day of birth; seven vaccines at two months; 6 more (including booster shots) at four months; and as many as eight vaccines on the six-month well-baby visit.

Before a child reaches the age of two, he or she will have received 32 vaccinations on this schedule, including four doses each of vaccines for Hemophilus influenzae type b infections, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis -- all of them given during the first 12 months of life. Seven vaccines injected into a 13-pound, two-month old infant are equivalent to 70 doses in a 130-pound adult.

The schedule states, "Your child can safely receive all vaccines recommended for a particular age during one visit." Public health officials, however, have not proven that it is indeed safe to inject this many vaccines into infants. What's more, they cannot explain why, concurrent with an increasing number of vaccinations, there has been an explosion of neurologic and immune system disorders in our nation's children.

Fifty years ago, when the immunization schedule contained only four vaccines (for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and smallpox), autism was virtually unknown. First discovered in 1943, this most devastating malady, in what is now a spectrum of pervasive developmental disorders, afflicted less than 1 in 10,000 children.

Today, one in every 68 American families has an autistic child. Other, less severe developmental disorders, rarely seen before the vaccine era, have also reached epidemic proportions. Four million American children have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One in six American children are now classified as "Learning Disabled."

Our children are also experiencing an epidemic of autoimmune disorders: Type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and bowel disorders. There has been a 17-fold increase in Type I diabetes, from 1 in 7,100 children in the 1950s to 1 in 400 now. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis afflicts 300,000 American children. Twenty-five years ago, this disease was so rare that public health officials did not keep any statistics on it. There has been a four-fold increase in asthma, and bowel disorders in children are much more common now than they were 50 years ago.

~~By Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD


SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, was proven by the Japanese government many years ago to be caused by the DPT vaccine. Many in the medical industry will deny this. This is understandable, because this is how they make their living. Sometimes, for some people, money comes before concern.

If you are not familiar with the vaccine scheduling, an infant in the U.S. receives the DPT vaccine five times, the first one of which is given at approximately 2 months. Japan showed that when they held off giving the DPT vaccine to children until they had reached the age of 2, essentially, SIDS vanished. Interesting?

Infants and toddlers aged 0 to 6 years of age are now inoculated against the following:
Hepatitis B Rotavirus
Hepatitis A Measles
Diphtheria Mumps
Tetanus (lockjaw) Rubella (German measles)
Pertussis (whooping cough) Varicella (chickenpox)
Polio Meningococcal
Pneumococcal infections Influenza (yearly flu shots)
Hemophilus influenzae type b infections

By the time your child starts school he or she will have received more than 36 injections, including four doses each of vaccines for Hemophilus influenzae type b infections, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis -- all of them given during the first 12 months of life.

And now consider this: one vaccine injected into a 13-pound, two-month old infant is equivalent to 10 doses of the same in a 130-pound adult. Where is the common sense in these guidelines?

Would any adult concede to being injected with 360 doses of vaccines within a couple of years’ span; equal to one injection every other day for two years?

Public health officials have NEVER proven that it is indeed safe to inject this number and volume of vaccines into infants. What's more, they cannot explain why, concurrent with an increasing number of vaccinations, there has been an explosion of neurological and immune system disorders in American children.

I do not give this information to put down the medical system, but rather to give you an eye on what happens with drugs. All pharmaceutical drugs sold in the U.S. are loaded with toxins. Since toxins are a major reason for disease, this should give some concern to you.

Here is a link from the Center for Disease Control on vaccination scheduling for children through age 6: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/downloads/child/2009/09_0-6yrs_schedule_bw.pdf

I would be happy to teach you how to avoid disease without the use of drugs. It really is not difficult. All you have to do is ask. With charging nothing more than a smile, I am more easily afforded than a vaccine as well.
