ACRES U.S.A. It seems money is the
issue at bottom.
MOORE. Here is one of the big problems that nobody realizes — in 1974 or thereabouts, the Hunt brothers were playing with the price of silver on the commodities market. The dentists from 1819 to 1974 had a formulation of 50-52 percent mercury for fillings — it fluctuates depending on the actual alloy — with 30 percent silver, 4 percent copper, 14 percent tin and zinc. But in 1974, when the price of silver went up, they decided to switch the copper and silver in amalgam. They came out with what was called the high-copper amalgam. This amalgam actually releases both mercury and copper 50 times faster than the old fillings had done. Instead of taking 30 to 40 years to build up enough mercury in the system to cause a major system breakdown, you now get that in three to five years. This is a huge compression of time. Dentists may or may not be around to see what they’ve done — typically they live about 50 years, and often they commit suicide, which is a classic symptom of mercury poisoning. ACRES U.S.A. Haven’t some of the Scandinavian countries made steps toward removing amalgam from the profession? MOORE. Yes. Sweden has been the leader in this, and Norway is following suit. The Norwegian change is just now coming online. In 1994 Sweden banned the use of amalgam for environmental reasons. Just recently I heard that Dr. Mats Berlin of Sweden did several studies at the World Health Organization on the effects of mercury, and he recently completed a review of the literature from 1997 through 2003 and has made a recommendation to the government of Sweden. Sweden is now working toward getting mercury banned, first in the European Union and then worldwide. They have found such a turnaround in their people with the withdrawal of mercury fillings. With their socialized medicine I think the government pays up to 48 percent of the cost of removing fillings. Germany, I believe, has a ban on giving mercury fillings to children under 19 years and women of childbearing age. Denmark and Austria have similar bans. The one that is really impressive is Switzerland, which has now stopped teaching the use of mercury in their dental schools. ACRES U.S.A. But not the dental schools of America. MOORE. You might be interested to know who actually sets these programs up for the universities in this country. The American Dental Association certifies universities as to what they will teach and when they will teach it. Of course, when you get out of dental school, you join the American Dental Association. They also indirectly control the dental quality assurance commissions or dental boards at the state level to insure that their policies are mandated. They have actually pulled dentist’s licenses, such as that of Dr. Huggins and others, until these doctors started getting attorneys and fighting back. ACRES U.S.A. You mean they have tried to get rid of dentists over this amalgam issue? MOORE. That’s right. In 1987 the ADA changed their code of ethics, and if your dentist even told you that half the filling material was mercury and the ADA found out about it, they could arrange for the disciplinary boards to pull his or her license. I’d say at that point it became a wholesale coverup. One of the top mercury researchers has said that 95 percent of our health problems emanate from mercury. That is a huge number. ACRES U.S.A. One of the growth industries in the United States, you probably have observed, is the construction and operation of dialysis clinics. This connection with the mercury syndrome seems obvious, but renal doctors do not seem to be aware of either the fungus or the mercury connection to renal disease. MOORE. Here is the problem: It is not possible to find the mercury in the blood or the urine. ACRES U.S.A. In other words, it finds hiding places so secure you cannot even detect it, but you have to postulate it is there because of its general ubiquitous presence in the environment. MOORE. Here is the bottom line: Dr. Huggins found that four to eight micrograms of mercury per liter of urine was our normal exposure rate. In my case, it was 0.7, which means I was holding onto it. A doctor who looks at that report thinking that 20 micrograms or more is of concern is going to think I am clean as can be. So all of the dentist’s studies — if they have even been done — will pull the blood and the urine. They won’t find it there. Most of the time they won’t find it in the hair, either. You can take a sample of your hair and not find it, but interestingly, if you detox for six months and take another hair sample it will show up. You have to know the footprint of mercury, how it works and what it does in the human body, and then you can begin to address it — but until you do that, you can’t see it. Evil Molecule = Slow Death It takes over the four oxygen sites on the red blood cell. If all are taken over, death follows promptly. That, in a nutshell, is the story of mercury. All else is merely elaboration. It is possible for 37/8 of the sites to be taken over and still have life. Page 1 cont. Page 2 cont. Page 3 cont. Page 4 cont. Page 5 cont. Page 6 cont. Page 7 cont.
