Heavy metals slowly accumulate in all our organs causing a myriad of symptoms from fatigue to cancer. They increase the production of free radicals in the body a million-fold, setting the stage for chronic disease and premature aging. Copper and nickel in plumbing, cadmium in cigarette smoke, arsenic in water, and mercury in dental fillings and vaccines all add up to an overload of toxic metals. They can also compete for essential minerals and cause severe deficiencies (eg. low zinc sets the stage for prostate cancer).

This site focuses on toxic metals obtained through the use of mercury dental amalgams. About 85 percent of our population, over 200 million people, have at least one of their cavities filled with an dental amalgam These amalgams are made up of approximately 50% mercury. The most dangerous route of mercury exposure is the inhalation of mercury vapor, which is especially released when a person chews gum, chews food, drinks a hot beverage and brushes teeth. Could it be that this exposure to mercury and other toxic metals is causing untold damage to our health? That is the question being debated in one of the greatest health controversies of our time.

Is this controversy worth your time researching? Consider the following list of some of the well known signs and symptoms of mercury vapor exposure and ask yourself if you can afford not to.
