Lessons from Jon Barron
Mercury In Amalgam Fillings & Scientific Studies
In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron examines the scientific studies that call into question the safety of amalgam fillings – and why they're still used. 
"Numerous studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s proved conclusively that the mercury from fillings (primarily from mercury vapor created when we chew) makes its way into the body, ending up in our lungs, heart, stomach, kidneys, endocrine glands, gastrointestinal tract, jaw tissue, and our brains. In effect: the denser the tissue, the greater the concentration of mercury.
There have been over 12,000 papers published to date elucidating the dangers of amalgam fillings, but the most compelling of those studies detailed the use of radioactively tagged amalgam fillings in a controlled experiment. In less than thirty days, substantial levels of the tagged mercury were found throughout the body and brain, especially in the liver and kidneys. Studies have shown that within a month of receiving amalgam fillings, kidney function is reduced by well over 50 percent.
Once it became irrefutable that mercury from the fillings was ending up in our bodies, it then became mandatory for the ADA to find a new theory/defense. Again, not based on clinical studies, but rather, on convenience, it became the position of the ADA that, yes, perhaps some mercury does make its way into the body, but at levels that are so low it has no effect on our health. And once again, it would be miraculous indeed if that were true. Unfortunately, it is not--like so many other toxic substances, the real problem with mercury is that it is a cumulative poison and the body holds onto a significant percentage of the mercury that enters it."
