A poison seeped into Amalgam’s well
that bit our throats and made our faces swell,
then left us with a fear of what we drink
and cleaning of the well on which to think.

I wrote the Amalgam poems in the mid-1990s while nearly napping under a tree. They were seemingly nonsensical stanzas about a fictional town named Amalgam, its residents, and its larger world. I collected them one-by-one in a word processing file, which I printed and stashed away in a notebook.

In November 2009, I had a dream in which a hit man chased me and a group of “dream acquaintances” deep into the sub-cellar of an abandoned military building. In a room at the base of a rubble-filled shaft, he warned me to “dig up the Amalgam poems and post them.”

This constitutes my compliance with that instruction. I will post one each Thursday until they are exhausted.

Twice to the town I named Amalgam came
a man who had a face and yet no name.
His conversation stung us like a bee
and yet he left us healthier than he.

Plomben machen Zahnärzte krank – Quecksilber-Belastung führt zu Nierenschäden und Gedächtnisstörungen

 Zahnärzte leiden vermehrt unter Nierenschäden und Gedächtnisstörungen, berichtet BBC-online, heute, Dienstag. Die Gründe dafür liegen in der ungewöhnlich hohen Belastung mit Quecksilber, das im Amalgam für Zahnfüllungen verwendet wird. Der Bericht stützt sich auf eine Studie, die von der Universität Glasgow bei Dentisten durchgeführt wurde.

“Die Belastung mit größeren Dosen von Quecksilber führt zu gesundheitlichen Störungen. Das kann niemand leugnen”, so Studienleiter Ewan Macdonald von der Universität Glasgow. Der Wissenschaftler fand bei Untersuchungen bei Zahnärzten heraus, dass es bei dieser Berufsgruppe zu besonders vielen Nierenerkrankungen und Gedächtnisproblemen kam. Bei der Studie wurden bei 180 Zahnärzten und 180 anderen Akademikern Harn-, Haar- und Nagelproben gezogen. Dabei fiel auf, dass die Zahnärzte bis zu viermal höhere Mengen an Quecksilber in ihrem Körper trugen als andere Akademiker. Einer der Zahnärzte hatte sogar Quecksilbermengen, die weit über den empfohlenen Richtwerten lagen.

Este Eva. E fiinţa cea mai gingaşă şi totuşi cea mai puternică. Pe lângă cele 7 minuni ale lumii ar trebui adăugată a 8a. Femeia.
E incredibilă. Când te uiţi la ea…. vezi raiul. Vezi acel corp mlădios, plin de mistere. Acel zâmbet extraordinar pe care îl dăruieşte tuturor. Vezi dragostea în ochii ei. Te surprinde în mod plăcut cum poate o fiinţă să fie atât de complexă.
Când e nervoasă, se aprind scântei în ochii ei. Dacă ai rănit-o…. aşteaptă-te să găseşti iadul pe pământ. Femeia este în stare să meargă enorm de departe pentru sentimentele ei. Este o fiinţă care depinde de sentimentele ei. Care doreşte să fie iubită necondiţionat.
Când merge, îşi înduieşte frumosu-i corp ca valurile înspumate ale mării care se lovesc de talazuri. Când îşi deschide gura pentru un surâs, curcubeul apare pe cer. Şi când pentru prima oară ţine în braţe copilul ei iubit, când este mamă, este ca o leoaică pregătită de atac. Femeia poate totodată să fie cel mai frumos vis al tau şi în acelaşi timp coşmarul vieţii tale.
Vrei să fii iubit? Iubeşte-o. Adoro, venereazo ca pe o zeiţă. Pentru că de fapt, asta este ea. Zeiţa iubirii şi a sentimentelor. Refugiul tău. Casa ta la care revii când eşti istovit de alergarea prin lume. Sânul pe care să pui capul când eşti istovit şi umărul cel mai puternic pe care poţi să plângi. Şi totuşi nici o definiţie din lume nu o poate descrie. Oare, ce e femeia?

“Femeia e vinovată că se descoperă, când farmecul unei femei stă tocmai în lucrurile nedescoperite, ascunse”

Representative Diane Watson (D-Ca) did it again. The bill advances the misconception that silver amalgam, which contains mercury, is toxic. It isn’t, because the mercury is bound, chemically, to the silver. The bill specifically misstates the facts. And unless you heat the filling–like in a crematorium–you can’t get the mercury back out. The resolution, which has no active action, essentially condemns the use of dental amalgam, claiming that these dental fillings cause just about every problem under the sun. This debate–that your silver fillings will cause all sorts of problems– is over 30 years old. The only problem is that the evidence says the fillings are safe, effective, and cheaper than just about every other material used in dentistry. Silver filling use in dentistry has been on the decline for the last 25 years, and is currently being replaced by resin fillings. So the amalgam debate is mostly a moot point. The rise of esthetic dentistry–fillings that are the same color as your teeth–has had the effect of quieting much of the banter from the “anti-amalgamists”. But there’s still a lot of silver filling out there.  This bill, if passed, will add fire to the fear that some patients develop, running to their dentists asking for the silver to be removed for fear of health problems. I find it curious that the dental profession, which has everything to gain by creating fear concerning silver amalgam fillings, has consistently defended amalgam, and avoided the financial windfall that would be associated with everyone wanting their silver fillings removed en mass.  When ever a patient tries to make the point that dentists “love” amalgam, I always say, “Go ahead, make it illegal and you make my day, financially.  It’s my conscience that prevents me from jumping in and promoting the fear.  And I’m far from alone.   It really is dentistry’s finest hour.

In den letzten Tagen bekamen wir eine telefonische Anfrage, ob wir extrahierte Zähne mit Amalgamfüllungen in der Praxis hätten.
Haben wir. Sobald ein Molar der Parodontitis zu Opfer fällt, wird er desinfiziert und aufgehoben. Man braucht sie eben hin und wieder um neue Feilensysteme zu testen oder ähnliches.

Die Firma Grimm Aerosol Technik – die eigentlich spezialisiert ist auf Feinstaubmessung - war auf der Suche nach Möglichkeiten um Quecksilberbelastung zu testen. Eine Zahnarztpraxis bietet sich hier natürlich an.

Am nächsten Tag kam ein Techniker der Firma mit einem Messgerät, welches die Quecksilberkonzentration der Luft messen kann.

Der erste Test war ein kleiner Plastikbeutel 4×6 cm mit 2 Zähnen darin. Einer davon hatte eine sehr große Amalgam-Füllung.
Wert: 0,14 mg/cbm
Nach kurzem Reiben der Zähne aneinander stieg der Wert auf 0,688 mg/cbm. Nach ca. 15 min war der Wert wieder auf auf 0,140 gefallen.

2. Test: Raumluft eines Behandlungszimmers, wo vor ca. 15 min eine Amalgamfüllung ausgebohrt wurde.
Wert: 0,006 mg/cbm, eine weitere Messung nach 5 min ergab noch einen Wert von 0,003.

3. Test: Die Schublade wo der Duomat Amalgamanmischer bis vor 5 Jahren ca.20 Jahre seinen Dienst verrichtete.
Klappe auf, Messschlauch eingeführt, Klappe zu.
Ergebnis: 0,01 mg/cbm
Wohlgemerkt: Seit 3 Jahren wird in dieser Praxis kein Amalgam mehr gelegt, und der Duomat ist seit mindestens 5 Jahren nicht mehr in der Praxis.

Wenn ich mir die Werte so ansehe, bin ich nicht sonderlich beruhigt. Zumal der Quecksilberdampf sich sehr schnell verflüchtigt, wie auch der Techniker bestätigte.
Die Spitzenwerte beim Entfernen einer Füllung wären durchaus noch interessant, und zwar da gemessen, wo der Behandler und die Helferin die Luft zum Atmen “absaugen”.

Ich schätze, es werden weitere Messungen folgen…

Dentistry is quite a mystery to me.

Until about a year ago, I had no idea it was mercury that is so commonly used to fill our cavities. Mercury can be found in what is called an Amalgam Filling, which is composed of “elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper and possibly other metallic elements,” according to the American Dental Association. It is the most common filling used today, and according to the ADA, also one of the most researched and tested. What that means, I’m not sure. Did the ADA research and test its durability, its safety, or both? What were the conclusions of their studies? I can’t say, but I know the amalgam filling is neither durable nor safe.

Lets take a look at what the World Health Organization has to say about exposure to elemental mercury, the type of mercury being used in these fillings:

“Following exposure to mercury vapor the element is found in blood as physically dissolved elemental mercury. Within a few minutes, the mercury is oxidized to mercuric mercury in the erythrocytes, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme catalase. Thus, following short term exposure to mercury vapor, the maximum concentration of mercury in erythrocytes is seen after less than one hour, whereas plasma levels peak after about ten hours. Before oxidation, [elemental mercury] readily crosses cell membranes, including the blood-brain and placental barriers. Following oxidation, [its] ions (or complexes) are distributed in the body via blood. The kidneys and the brain are the main targets for deposition of mercury following exposure to mercury vapor; absorbed inorganic mercury salts are mainly deposited in the kidneys.”

I suspect the only place to make the debate about mercury fillings worth having is whether or not the fillings do indeed make their way into our system. The ADA states that although concern has risen over the amalgam’s mercury content, ”the mercury in amalgam combines with other metals to render it stable and safe for use in filling teeth.” As someone who was very susceptible to cavities as a child and has had at least 8 of these fillings, I know this information to be inaccurate. Amalgam fillings are slowly (over the course of years) ground away into vapor as you chew, and thus consumed along with food or breathed into the lungs. According to this article, the FDA has already admitted this phenomenon. And yet, the FDA says that mercury fillings aren’t harmful (read: the FDA says that the most toxic metal on earth making its way into your body isn’t harmful.)

The World Health Organization has admitted the dental amalgam as a major source of mercury contamination in the human body. No matter what kind of silver amalgam filling you receive, they are all 50% Mercury.  According to a 1991 study by the W.H.O., they release 3-17 micrograms of Mercury into the bloodstream everyday. The safe level established by the EPA for Mercury exposure is 10 micrograms/day.  Many countries in Europe (as well as Canada)  have already banned the use of mercury in dental fillings. (The number of countries varies with the source, but the common countries include Germany, Austria, Norway and Sweden.)

Can we please just agree that putting one of the most toxic elements in our mouth isn’t safe?

Can Mercury from Dental Fillings Travel through Teeth? (European Commission, Environment DG)

Dental amalgam fillings made with mercury have been used for many years, but there are concerns about the risk to human health. A recent study suggests that mercury can travel through the tooth and enter the tooth’s active bloodstream. This is another route of exposure to mercury in addition to the release of the toxin from the surface of the filling…More…

Denture Creams May Cause Nerve Damage, Neuropathy (newsinferno)

Not many Americans have heard of denture cream poisoning. A rare ailment, denture cream zinc poisoning can cause serious and debilitating nerve damage. The disorder is associated with excessive exposure to zinc in products like Poligrip and Fixodent.

Denture creams like Fixodent and Poligrip contain zinc as a bonding agent. People who ingest too much zinc run the risk of copper depletion. That condition can lead to neurological symptoms, including numbness and tingling in hands and feet, balance and coordination problems, and pain and weakness in the extremities. When it is really severe, the nerve damage caused by denture cream zinc poisoning can eventually lead to neuropathy, a debilitating disorder…More…

Organic Is More Nutritious According to the French (Foodmagazine)

A new report by the French Agency for Food Safety (AFSSA) has found that organic foods are better for you and contain less pesticides and nitrates, which have been linked to a range of health problems including diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

Andre Leu, Chairman of the Organic Federation of Australia, says the up-to-date exhaustive and critical evaluation of the nutritional quality of organic food and has found organic foods have higher levels of minerals and antioxidants.

Studying Ancient Man to Learn to Prevent Disease (PhysOrg)

Health care as we know it didn’t exist 3,000 years ago. But along the Georgia coast, the Pacific Northwest, and coastal Brazil, people grew tall and strong and lived relatively free of disease. They ate game, fish, shellfish and wild plants.

But as corn farming spread through various regions of the Americas, people got shorter. Many became prone to anemia and began dying of tuberculosis and other infectious diseases.

“It’s counterintuitive – with agriculture, people should have been better nourished,” said Emory University anthropologist George Armelagos. But a different story is emerging from studies of ancient bones and teeth as well as blood samples from isolated hunters and farmers…More…

Groups Are Key to Good Health (PhysOrg)

The quality of a person’s social life could have an even greater impact than diet and exercise on their health and well-being. There is growing evidence that being a member of a social group can significantly reduce the risk of conditions like stroke, dementia and even the common cold.

New research by the Universities of Exeter and Queensland, Australia, shows that membership of social groups has a positive impact on health and well-being. The work highlights the importance of belonging to a range of social groups, of hanging onto social groups, and of building new social groups in dealing with life changes such as having a stroke and being diagnosed with dementia…More…

Mercury can cause a bewildering variety of problems. In fact, one of the major criticisms of amalgam illness is that it is cited as the cause of so many things. But, like the parable of the blind men and the elephant, mercury can indeed cause many diseases. Modern physicians are not trained to find the root cause of a sick person’s problems. They are trained to translate what they see into latin, look it up in their textbook, and apply a cookbook treatment. With a toxin that poisons fundamental metabolic processes different people will experience different symptoms to start off, depending on their own individual biochemistry. As the poisoning becomes more and more serious, further symptoms surface and the modern doctor adds more diagnoses – a patient who starts with depression might later be considered to have hypothyroidism, allergies and asthma in addition. But no thought is given to why one person should develop more and more “diseases,” when a single diagnosis – chronic mercury poisoning – could account for them all.
Some of the “diseases” a modern physician might mistakenly misdiagnose chronic mercury poisoning as are:

Addison’s disease, Allergies, Alzheimer’s’ disease, Anorexia, Anxiety, Asthma, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Autoimmune disease, Bipolar disorder, Borderline personality disorder, Bulimia, Candidiasis, Chronic fatigue, Colitis Crohn’s disease, Fibromyalgia, Environmental illness, Gastritis, Insomnia, Infertility, Hypothyroidism, Hypogonadism, Sleep disorders, Yeast syndrome, Sciatica, Schizophrenia, Irritable bowel syndrome, Juvenile arthritis, Learning disabilities, Manic depression, Panic attacks and many more

Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment is a practical guide to getting well. It does not stop at saying you MIGHT have mercury poisoning if you have one or more of these. It tells you how to find out. Quantitative diagnostic procedures are included so that you can decide whether your problems are due to mercury poisoning or not.
