These fillings release toxic microscopic particles of mercury into your body every time you chew. Even small amounts can be extremely toxic and difficult to eliminate from your body. Health problems caused by low level chronic exposure to heavy metals may take years to appear, and have been linked to conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease and insomnia to Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. There are also many circulatory diseases other than cardiovascular disease that may not cause death, but affect a person's quality of life. There are over 50 major job fields that are known for their exposure to mercury toxicity, including physicians, pharmaceutical workers, any dental occupation, laboratory workers, hair dressers, painters, printers, welders, metal workers, battery makers, engravers, photographers, artists and potters.
Lead poisoning is a serious and very common type of heavy metal poisoning in children in America.
The treatment is well recognized by medical authorities around the world. Chelation therapy has already been administered to over 500,000 Americans and over one million Canadians, Europeans, Australians, and South Americans who suffered from hardening of the arteries. It has been given to more than double those numbers for the elimination of heavy metal toxicity. The scientific evidence indicates that a course of EDTA chelation therapy might eliminate the need for bypass surgery. Chelation has an equally valid rationale for use as preventive treatment.
