DENTAL POISONING
Dental
Poisoning I - MERCURY The practice of fixing a
deadly poison in multiple locations within the mouth is,
surely, an act of madness. But this is exactly what most
dentists do every day.
The American Dental Association (ADA) makes the protestations
of safety which might be expected. Their basic response is
that:
"No evidence of harm has been found."
However, mercury is a known poison. Why put it in your mouth
when there are alternatives?
The answers are, I suppose:
-
The alternatives cost
more.
-
Because the ADA - and it's
British equivalent - would
look
pretty stupid if they did a
turn-around now, after
decades of
saying that mercury
fillings are
safe.

So
look at the evidence, use common sense; and don't put any
more poisons in your mouth. Demand alternative fillings
when you next have some - and pay extra for them if
necessary.

Dental Poisoning II - The Sequel: FLUORIDE
Much like the mercury in amalgam fillings, fluoride has been
foisted on the general public with little evidence of safety -
or, for that matter, effectiveness.
It is worrying that the British Dental Association - who
represent dentists in the UK - receive funding from the
toothpaste industry for promoting fluoride toothpastes (The
Times).
In fact, one of the early studies which helped start
fluoridation carried out in Newburgh, New York, had flawed
methodology according to some experts.
Furthermore, the reduction in dental fillings seen after ten
years in that study, had disappeared when re-examined after 50
years.
A Deadly Poison Tony Lees, a UK dentist for 40 years
says:
"In the scale of toxicity, fluorides fall between arsenic
and lead."
'Fluorosis' is the first sign of fluoride poisoning.
The external signs of this are mottling of the surface of the
teeth, and it progresses into actual deterioration of the tooth
enamel.
For pictures of teeth showing fluorosis, see:

A UK government-commissioned study shows that 48% of children
who drink fluoridated water show signs of fluorosis. (The
Times, May 15th 2001)
But though overdosing on fluoride produces unsightly tooth
discolouration and deterioration, the real concern is what it
is doing inside the body.
In the skeleton itself, fluorosis damages bones and leads to
arthritis. There is no known cure or reversal for deterioration
of the skeleton due to fluorosis; it just has to be avoided in
the first place.
Cancer
Causing Agent It is widely thought that fluoride
may cause cancer.
The National Toxicology Programme in America was commissioned
by the government to carry out a study into the relationship
between fluoride and cancer.
Several toxicologists have said that the findings of the report
show that there is a relationship - that fluoride does
appear to make you more likely to develop cancer.
