dr michael got very is a physician who's been active in the mercury issue for many decades i first met dr godfrey in one nine hundred ninety two in germany this second time that germany banned amalgam and he's done further research in his own practice in new zealand but dr godfrey has been active in the issue of women's health and overall health for many decades and you'll even share with us some of his problems with house calls they still do that in new zealand you know and dr godfrey found that you could take a picture of someone with a thermal scan camera and see the beginning  breast cancer see the beginning of gum disease you could see things going on in the human body years before they became apparent with the techniques of the last century x rays and compression and mammograms now you can look at it much earlier and he'll show you what happens when you do you figure out what's wrong and fix it and the problem goes away enjoy the next program it'll connect the dots for you between oral health and systemic health some twenty five years ago when i was in my mid forty's i was standard regular and d in new zealand becoming i think it was in november eighth saw it i first came over to san francisco and attended this conference i never felt more inadequate in that i suddenly realized how little i knew the strictly the buildings thoughts and all of a sudden i started looking at the now that time i also had a mild in some things myself and i was also into big game fishing new zealand we have on and toys so i'd forgotten the piece of paper at home i think go back home to get a piece of paper find out where i was going this is a little bit disconcerting to somebody in the forty's but when i met how and so i was looking at supposed to do she picked up the phone rang the local dentist and said well by some incredible divine stroke of good luck nothing went wrong with that was the last migraine she's ever had this kind of got me hooked on to looking faces and different light and i guess it was just as well i didn't know what i was in bucking on then might have been a bit more reluctant to do it because it's been an interesting journey the subsequent twenty really know much about it or didn't know anything about free radicals until i started coming to conferences over here and this is what we're basically talking about this is stuff that you know i'll just quickly go over it  the w h o has told us back in ninety one that it's acknowledged heavy metal talks in and that is not a level at which it can be viewed regarded as wife has a strong affinity for self hydro and toxic heavy metals in fact every single one of us if the fat biopsy was taken and sent to the e p a we'd be declared unfit for human consumption there's no doubt about that on we know that the hulk there's a song selenium complex is involved in our anti rusting or anti oxidant system keeps us alive retention toxicity  has started really putting us on to the idea that you have some people that very small doses will accumulate and they retain more than others and eventually that can make you toxic and if you look at the normal tests head you're in cetera you won't find it and the ones where they've got the lowest level in the hair highest risk if they exposed to mercury one of the bizarre things about mercury that i found is that inmates and if you've got somebody who's exposed to a known toxic metal you can show the exposed to it if you can show that they've got symptoms you can do standard test to show they've got elevated levels in the body and then it would be negligent not to treat several patients shine get claims from insurance companies we've gone to court and each time they've been turned down on very clever legal maneuvers so in the end i wrote to the national toxicology group in new zealand and said please give me criteria that are acceptable because there are criteria for all the other metals you must have i got a letter back from the top toxic toll the g s and he said it's very difficult and he'd like to see evidence of organ damage problem is there's a certain magic consumer resistance to br they just don't want to know and that's the fact it's commercial it's political it's financial but in essence they don't want to know and one of the problems is the symptoms tend to be no one specific as you well know corning fatigue depression short term memory loss leading toward senile dementia and that's a lot of other things of course it affects cardiovascular that this is caused by that this is caused by that as well as by three so there's no proof and i have a lot of patience most doctors have a lot of patients in the middle age group that have these symptoms too many people are not well we know too many people well this paper came out this year and explore some of you may have seen it how h die there was an eighty percent reduction in viability this meant that i get the sense of the lymphocytes which is floating around doing nothing including in that large numbers of place every day still in the usa although i've heard just recently that amalgam placing dentists in the minority for the first time this is hundred sixty eight there was a health department survey of young people and twenty one year olds at that time had an average of sixteen fillings and i've seen a number that ha so the sixteen surely must mean that that pertain surely being exposed to in all rable amounts of mercury and we should therefore be looking at the symptoms and signs of strange men  but one year off it came out one day off it came out there was a thirty percent reduction in the number of a mildness paid for by the health department and that dropped to sixty two percent within five years had nothing to do  it meant that sixty two percent were being done prophylactic lead dental this is especially with drilling into children sound to you that had maybe a natural the groove preventive getting a whole skull prophylactic on top of me and that's why there was an average of sixteen the problem is that we still have that middle age cohort of one point four million new year and and we had an average of three hundred twenty micrograms anything over fifty is deemed significant i was waited ten dentists to do the same thing and i think this makes dentists and dental nurses and their level was three forty they already had an average of six fillings compared to an average of twelve in my eighty patients one of those dentists sadly five years later he had to give up his practice because he was no longer competent he was shortly after but it's this income he died two years ago aged fifty nine from on this and gz university from out of roses showing that there was a blood test that could identify people who increased risk of early onset alzheimer's before the age of seventy and this was the two percent of the population one to two percent at the fall fall and they have a seventy percent risk of getting out some is under the age of seventy if you have a three for about twenty percent of the population you go to your risk goes back ten years if you have a three three which is most of the population here you got to live beyond the eighty's and if you have a two you've actually got no ri but they said it is a mystery why this happens and several papers came out over the subsequent years that also said that it was a africa don't get a mile of them they do in america boy hey they showed me why they're what he explained the mystery and he said it's quite simple if you look at the chemistry  therefore looking at the chemistry one could so maz that is make three is underlying cause of the dementia if you can remove it from the brain as fast it comes in you're less likely to get neurological damage now just before i finish i want to cover what are now involved in the for the past five years because it's just another extension of how dentistry is involved this lady fifty three is all she had breast cancer six root silty four of them happen to be on the breast ac three crowns huge problem i get a patient with a abnormal seven gram this deteriorating she's heading towards breast cancer and and they they had completely normal nanograms ultrasounds in fact in the end i went to the radiologist and said if this woman has got breast cancer i'll sell the camera back to america forty thousand dollars they got a bit wired center for an i and picked up the cancer but this is where we can combine two professions in normal she had to be one of my stuff all my stuff senile  three months life looking back on six months later looking even better the nipple temperature down to call it's very as normal so  was that one year later it was that basically by clearing some dentistry and a few other bits and pieces but the main thing was dentistry so we've got
