Chronic Mercury Poisoning and Overall Health Links
I will provide you with links to important websites that deal with mercury amalgam (silver) fillings, chronic mercury poisoning and mercury detoxification. Mercury poisoning is not an isolated health issue—it directly and indirectly affects every aspect of your health. While I focus primarily on the health hazards of chronic mercury poisoning from mercury amalgam fillings, there are many other health problems that must be considered. I also want you to know that there are people out there who are dedicated to supporting your efforts to eliminate dental disease and improve your overall health and well being. Thus, this page will give you access to websites I feel provide important information about health related issues.
While I have reviewed these sites, I cannot be responsible for their content. Some sites may contain information that contradicts my personal position. I suggest you evaluate both sides of any point of view and make your own educated decision. There are a number of ways to evaluate the information contained on a website, but one of the most important is to see if the site provides supporting reference material or directs you to the source of their information. There is nothing wrong with expressing a personal opinion, but opinions not backed up by facts must be taken with a grain of salt and an ounce of skepticism. The opinions and conclusions expressed on my websites are supported by an extensive list of scientific references. You can access them by clicking on References.
I will periodically update the websites I ’ve listed, removing sites that are no longer available and adding new ones as I discover them. If you find a website that you believe should be added to the list Please email be by Clicking Here.
