Since infants excrete mercury less rapidly than adults there has been evidence of both motor and intellectual retardation. Not only does mercury pass through the placental barrier, but is also found in breast milk. Methyl mercury is so readily absorbed in the lungs, the GI tract and through the jaw bone from the mother to the fetus that levels remain elevated in the mother and the fetus for as long as 140 days after exposure. A neurotoxicology report from 1986 indicates that severe human fetal methyl mercury poisoning may be lethal, but that lesser degrees of poisoning may lead to some form of cerebral palsy accompanied by mental retardation. There is a correlation between exposure to methyl mercury during the third trimester of pregnancy and cerebral palsy developing during that time.
Fillings give off positive and negative electrical charges.
This electrical current is generated in the metallic fillings in the mouth, with assistance from the saliva. The higher the electrical current, the more rapidly chemical reactions are taking place and the more mercury is coming out of the fillings. Negative electrical current in fillings is very serious. When negative current fillings are removed first, this stimulates chemical, electrochemical and hormonal actions that probably have been inactive for years. The normal range for WBC's is between 5000 to 10,000.
