Last night we saw Dr. Wentz and Dave Wentz on the Healthy Home Book Tour in Long Beach. They discussed several points that are mentioned in the new book. They made a demonstration showing mercury fillings in teeth. Just the simple action of brushing your teeth can release mercury to where it reads at a toxic level even though the FDA says that mercury fillings that are sealed can't release toxins into your mouth..
Hearing that I looked through some old Blog posts and the information below was provided by Dr. Wentz back in 2008. Now is a good time to revisit some of the highlights of Dr. Wentz said before.
"The use of mercury amalgams in dental fillings continues, despite a steady decline due to public awareness. After years of negotiations and stalling, the FDA has now been forced to agree that mercury amalgams should not be used in pregnant women and children. It’s an important step toward eliminating mercury use from all medical practice."
Dr. Wentz previously wrote A Mouthful of Poison and he says, " Mercury is a poison, and it has no place in the mouths of humans (or animals, for that matter). Yet the professional dental community and government health authorities have steadfastly denied that any harm is done by using mercury in dental fillings, despite a wealth of evidence to the contrary, as I made clear in my book A Mouth Full of Poison."
