Signs and Symptoms of Mercury Toxicity/Poisoning:

As patients’ when an illness arises these days, we turn to the internet to research and find answers to our ailments.  When traditional medicine does not determine a cause or reason for our illness, many of us are turning to alternative medicine.  The alternative medicine arena, rather holistic doctors have for many years linked amalgam mercury fillings to many diseases and illnesses.  Unfortunately, the general public as a whole turns to western medicine for answers they will not receive regarding the toxicity in mercury fillings.

In order to determine if you have high amounts of mercury in your system, you must have either a fecal test, blood test, or hair follicle test.  The best test to determine the amount of mercury accumulated in your system is a fecal test.  My Inland Empire Biological Cosmetic dental office is partnered with a few alternative medicine practices which provide these tests.  Our dental team believes that total body health is of utmost priority prior to treating dental health.  We believe that mercury in all forms is toxic and should be removed from an individuals body and diet ( as much as possible.)

The body absorbs mercury from the environment as well as dental fillings, which cause a variety of health risks and symptoms affecting the entire body.  Just as all of our body’s are different, the affects of mercury in the system are different for everyone.  This is why western medicine has a difficult time diagnosing mercury poisoning.
