                                                                  Why We Do Not Use Any Mercury "Silver" Filling
    
                   FACT: "Silver" or amalgam dental fillings contain from 48-55 percent mercury, 33-35 percent silver, and  
                   various amounts of copper, tin, zinc, and other metals. Since mercury is the major component of the           
                   material any representation of the material should include the word "mercury". Thus we refer to them as 
                   mercury dental fillings.
 
                  FACT: Mercury is a powerful poison. Published research has shown that mercury is more toxic than lead,      
                  cadmium, and even arsenic. Furthermore, there is no known toxic threshold for mercury vapor and world
                  renowned mercury toxicologists have stated that no amount of exposure to mercury vapor considered
                  totally harmless.
 
                  FACT: Scientific research has demonstrated that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the brain,
                  heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal gland, blood cells, enzymes and 
                  hormones, and suppress the body's immune system. Mercury has been shown to pass the membrane
                  in pregnant women and cause permanent damage to the brain of the developing baby.
 
                  FACT: Mercury is continually released from mercury dental fillings in the form of mercury vapor and 
                  abraded particles. This process is stimulated and can be increased as much as 15 fold by chewing, 
                  brushing, liquids, etc. The World Health Organization recently concluded that the daily intake of mercury 
                  hot from shown to pass the membrane in pregnant women and cause permanent damage to the brain 
                  of the developing baby.
 
                  FACT: Mercury is continually released from mercury dental fillings in the form of mercury vapor and
                  abraded particles. This process is stimulated and can be increased as much as 15 fold by chewing,
                  brushing, hot liquids, etc. The World Health Organization recently concluded that the daily intake of
                  mercury from amalgam dental fillings exceeded the combined daily intake of mercury derived from
                  air, water and food (including fish).
 
                  FACT: The mercury vapor released from mercury dental fillings is absorbed very rapidly and
                  thoroughly in your body, primarily by inhalation and swallowing. FACT: In human autopsy studies,
                  it has been found that there is a direct correlation between the amount of mercury found in the
                  brain and the number and surfaces of mercury fillings in the teeth.
 
                  FACT: Mercury causes normal intestinal microflora to become mercury resistant and antibiotic
                  resistant. Mercury resistant bacteria causes mercury in the intestinal tract to be converted back into

                  vapor and recycled back into the body. Antibiotic resistance is becoming a major medical concern.
 
                  FACT: Recent scientific research has shown high levels of mercury in the brains of individuals dead
                  Alzheimer's disease (AD). Other research is demonstrating mercury can cause similar
                  pathological effects in the brain, as that seen in Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) and AD. Laboratory
                  studies of spinal fluid from ALS and AD patient's has confirmed that mercury inhibits key brain
                  detoxification enzyme systems.
