Mercury Fillings: A Subject That Has Yet to Go Away

When will we get this one right here in the UNITED STATES?
For over 16 years, I have educated patients and colleagues alike, on the dangers from mercury placed in the mouth by dentistry. It was a problem when it was placed in my mouth as a child, it is a problem today, and it will continue to be a problem long after I have moved on.

Our EUROPEAN cousins have for years been the LEADERS in the dialogue of the hazards found in MERCURY dental fillings. Countries have banned its use in dentistry.
The World Health Organization (WHO) urged moving away from dental mercury amalgam in 2009.
And just last month, another European Commission report from BIOS (BIO Intelligence Service) recommends a phase out of dental mercury and mercury in batteries.
There”s a reason for these reports: Significant evidence of risks for negative health effects from mercury.
The ADA (American Dental Association) largely refuses to connect the dots, and continues to assert that there is no harm to be found when mercury is placed in the mouth as a filling.

IMPORTANT! SAFE REMOVAL OF MERCURY FILLINGS
There is an organization that educates dentists and advocates mercury free dentistry. The IAOMT is a resource for understanding the concerns of safely removing mercury from the mouth and a resource for locating a biological dentist near you for proper mercury removal.

Ovarian Cancer Screening

A recent article published in the NY Times, expresses reservation and concern for a once routinely recommended medical screening to try and detect OVARIAN CANCER.
The Tests:

Blood Test – looking for CANCER markers

Ultrasound – non irradiating view of the OVARIES
The Results:
Screening appears not to lower the risk nor the rate of developing OVARIAN CANCER. So, the question is, why continue using something that provides no additional health benefit, and has another inherent RISK associated with it.

The Risks:
Many FALSE POSITIVES are associated with the screenings. Screening in woman who are healthy and of average risk for ovarian cancer, is unnecessary, and all too often leads to unnecessary major surgeries, when no surgery is required. These surgeries have obvious risks and complications.

Recommendation:
Doctors advise not to disregard early symptoms and to seek medical care if symptoms persist, such as…

  • bloating, lower abdominal pain, getting “full” quickly from eating, and increase urination

Testing for OVARIAN CANCER remains for…

  • women at HIGH RISK such as genetic testing indicating mutations for the disease
  • family history of the disease
  • symptoms which are concerning to the woman”s doctor

This report comes from the United States Preventive Services Task Force, which has also recently thrown weight against other routine screening tests, such as PSA (prostate specific antigen), and Mammograms.
