Andrew Cutler, a chemist with a PhD in chemistry from Princeton, was a victim of mercury poisoning. He suffered symptoms such as brain fog, chronic fatigue, and insomnia. The doctors who could not figure out what he was suffering from, called his case "the mystery illness." Finally, one doctor told him that he had amalgam illness. So what he did after much personal research and questioning several doctors, he had the source of his "mystery illness", mercury fillings, removed from his mouth. Next, he began a detoxification treatment by using effective chelating agents to remove the much accumulated mercury that had been trapped deep inside his tissues and organs for many years. After the long and slow chelation treatment, Andrew Cutler recovered from his "mystery illness."
Now, with complete confidence, Andrew Cutler asserts that mercury poisoning is the root cause of diseases such as CFS, FMS, MS, Lupus, sleep disorders, and many other related diseases. He further states that the above health problems can very well be cured by simply removing the mercury from the patient's body. He says that the majority of medical doctors will not accept this point-of-view. According to Andrew, in order to see progress in a mercury poisoned patient, all amalgam fillings and other sources of mercury must be totally removed to cure the patient of his/her disease.
Two years after amalgam was introduced in the middle of the 19th century, doctors first started describing symptoms of what we call multiple sclerosis. One study showed those afflicted with MS had 25 times the mercury in their cerebrospinal fluid as those without MS. After proper removal, there is a 85% rate in remission in MS cases.
Doctor Boyd Haley, chemistry professor, university of Kentucky, internationally known scientist on mercury, says: "Dentists are giving people neurological diseases everyday."
Dental amalgam fillings are composed of 50 percent mercury, a highly toxic compound. In fact, someone with a lot of these fillings could have enough mercury in his mouth to poison many lakes. An abundant amount of scientific research, primarily conducted in Europe, where many countries have banned the use of mercury amalgams, proves that such fillings greatly increase the likelihood of heavy metal poisoning in the body's glands and tissues due to how mercury vapors escape from the fillings each and every day to settle into various areas inside the body. Once in the body, mercury can cause a wide range of health problems, including chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
The foundation for Toxic-Free Dentistry has compiled statistics from 6 studies on a total of 1,569 patients. The patients reported on their symptoms before and after their mercury amalgams were removed. These included everything from vision problems to depression. Most saw dramatic improvement once the fillings were gone. There are many people who have recovered from chronic illnesses after having their fillings removed; for example, recoveries realized from diseases such as fibromyalgia and CFS. If you have dental amalgams, consider having them replaced by a holistic (biological) dentist trained in their removal.
