Dentist speaks out about the dangers of mercury fillings

by: Jonathan Landsman

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the United States, there are approximately 87,000 dentists and, tragically, most of them never learn about the dangers of amalgams (mercury-based filling). Nearly half of these dentists still place highly-toxic mercury fillings in the mouth of unsuspecting people – it’s time to speak out about this crime against humanity.

Dental amalgams dump around 30 tons of mercury into the air, water and food supply – every year! Boyd Haley PhD, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at University of Kentucky, has called mercury a ‘biochemical train wreck in your body’. Mercury fillings can cause brain damage; neurological disorders plus many other 

Conventionally-trained dentists would like you to ignore the dangers of mercury fillings

Obviously, not everyone will notice a negative effect from mercury fillings but, make no mistake about it, this toxic heavy metal is bioaccumulative within the body. The longer you live with mercury – the more toxic you get. And, don’t ever consider removing mercury fillings – unless done by a holistic dentist trained in the proper safety protocols for extraction.

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. Numerous studies reveal that mercury fillings cause gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, concentration issues, memory loss, chronic fatigue, bleeding gums plus a host of other mouth disorders.

The average mercury filling releases about 34 micrograms of mercury daily. This toxic vapor permeates every cell of our body – eventually breaking down the immune system. On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Leonard Fazio, D.D.S. talk about how to safely remove dental amalgams.

What do I need to consider before removing mercury-based fillings from the mouth?

First of all, and I say this respectfully, if your dentist is willing to take out your mercury fillings (quickly) without regard to proper safety precautions – for you and the dentist – it’s time to find another dentist. We know that exposure to mercury causes brain damage and if your dentist doesn’t protect you, during the extraction process, then that dentist is not thinking clearly. Naturally, before the actual procedure, it would be a great idea to follow a healthy diet – loaded with antioxidants like vitamin C – for weeks (if not months) – depending upon your individual health status.

Through my own research, I was blessed to have met Leonard Fazio, D.D.S. (my personal dentist) – who taught me a lot about: the proper way to determine which amalgam to extract first – through ‘electrical testing’; the importance of room ventilation and oxygen procedures; charcoal rinsing – to minimize the threat of mercury exposure during the drilling process plus much more.

On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour – Jonathan Landsman and Leonard Fazio, D.D.S. talk about the dangers of mercury and provide a step-by-step guide to the safe removal of dental amalgams. Don’t miss this life-saving program.

This week’s guest: Leonard Fazio, D.D.S., an expert in mercury-free, holistic dentistry

Find out what conventional dentistry refuses to tell you about mercury fillings – Sun. Nov. 24

Dr. Leonard T. Fazio graduated from New York University College of Dentistry, New York, New York in 1988. He has been practicing mercury free, and metal-free dentistry since 1993, and he is dedicated to the philosophy of holistic, integrated dentistry.

He was personally-trained by the renowned Hal Huggins, DDS, and continues to expand his knowledge on this subject, as well as any / all complimentary therapies and protocols designed to promote optimal oral and overall health.

Mercury poisoning destroys the immune system. Dental amalgams are 50% mercury causing massive damage to the kidneys, brain and central nervous system. The dangers (and truth) about mercury fillings is being systematically suppressed by government health agencies and ‘modern’ dentistry.

How To Heal Cavities Naturally

How To Heal Cavities Naturally

by: Derek Henry

The world is slowly waking up to the fact that, when you give the body what it needs, it can heal things we previously thought were impossible. A fine example of what is often deemed as an incurable health problem is dental cavities, but extensive research is now becoming more public about the true nature of tooth decay and the fact that there are proven remedies that can remedy it.

The lies perpetrated about tooth decay

According to the American Dental Association, the reason we have tooth decay is as follows:

“[Tooth decay] occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as milk, pop, raisins, cakes or candy are frequently left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result. Over a period of time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay.”

There are a few problems with this theory, including:

• Groups of indigenous people who had fermentable carbohydrates stuck on their teeth all the time that did not brush or floss were mostly or completely free of tooth decay.
• Bacteria do not consume processed sugar or flour because of the lack of nutrients in them.
• Foods that bacteria like to eat, such as milk, vegetables, meat, fish and fruit, are not commonly implicated in causes of tooth decay.

So if the modern explanation of tooth decay is not accurate, what is actually the cause of tooth decay?

What actually causes tooth decay

Tooth decay, as researched by Dr. Weston Price and other dental pioneers, boiled down to three factors:

• Not enough minerals in the diet.
• Not enough fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) in the diet.
• Nutrients not being readily bioavailable, and your intestinal system not properly absorbing them. The presence of phytic acid largely influences this factor.

Over a period of time, if your diet lacks vitamins and minerals from a poor diet and/or contains high levels of phytates (from grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes), the blood chemistry and the ratio of calcium and phosphorous become out of balance, which results in minerals being pulled from bones, causing tooth and bone loss.

So, the long-standing belief that sugar causes tooth decay is true, but as a result of it depleting nutrients from the body, not because bacteria eat it and produce acid that ruins your teeth.

The food remedies that can heal cavities and tooth decay

In order to restore the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in our blood, and to enable minerals to bond to our teeth, it is not enough to just avoid eating too many sweet or processed foods. We must also eat health-building foods, containing copious amounts of minerals and vitamins that will build a glassy hard tooth structure.

Foods to focus on are:

• Coconut oil, grass-fed organic dairy (especially butter), grass-fed meats, seafood and bone broths.
• Organic cooked vegetables (soups with bone broth are ideal).
• Organ and gland meats, like liver.

Limit foods that are high in phytic acid, like grains, beans, nuts and seeds, as well as limiting processed food intake full of processed flours and sugars that upset blood sugar balance.

Supplements to consider are:

• Fermented cod liver oil – very high in fat soluble vitamins A, D and K.
• Magnesium – required to use calcium and phosphorous effectively.
• Gelatin – if you don’t have time to make bone broth, this is a good alternative and is great for gums and digestion.

Now go get your pearly white smile back.

Fluoride In The Water

Are you aware of the health dangers of fluoride? Fluoridation (adding fluoride chemicals into public water supplies) began 68 years ago in hopes to eliminate tooth decay, lower dental bills, and put dentists out of business. But just the opposite happened. The creation of fluoridated dental products and tooth decay have become multi-billion dollar industries.

Many countries including China, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Hungary, Japan, and nearly all of Europe have banned water fluoridation. However, the addition of fluoride in water supplies, juice, soda, wine, coffee, soups, processed foods and baby formulas is widespread in the Americas.

Fluoride enters our system through multiple means:

- Toothpaste with fluoride

- Water

- Baby formula

- Foods cooked with fluoride

- Canned soup, or restaurant-made soups

- Food cooked in Teflon cookware

- Coffee and tea made with fluoridated water

- Packaged and processed foods

- Fruit juice from a box/glass container

- Soda pop and soft drinks

- Beer and wine

- Anesthetics

- Cigarettes

Dangers of fluoride:

1. Known to cause dental fluorosis (defect of tooth enamel caused by fluoride’s interference with developing teeth) – dental fluorosis is characterized by yellow or mottled teeth.

2. Associated with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. It has also been associated with low IQ and mental retardation in children.

3. Known to cause skeletal fluorosis (crippling bone disease – aka. chronic joint pain, very similar to what those with arthritis experience). Could also be the cause of rising numbers in arthritis cases.

4. Impairs activity of the thyroid gland. Fluoride can depress activity of the thyroid and can result in an under-active thyroid, a common cause of obesity.

5. Disrupts normal hormone function. Fluoride can reduce melatonin levels (because fluoride likes to accumulate in the pineal gland), leading to disturbances in sleep-wake cycles and chronic insomnia. Fluoride also destroys the male reproductive system.

6. Interferes with brain function; interferes with learning and behaviour and another cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
