SCIENTISTIC REFERENCES RELATING TO IMPROVED HEALTH AS A RESULT OF MERCURY AMALGAM DENTAL FILLING REMOVAL AND LINKED DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
MOST RECENT SWEDISH STUDY OF 700 PATIENTS:
The following published scientific references have been compiled by Bernie Windham, a chemical engineer who has spent years researching the hazardous health effects of mercury amalgam poisoning:
1. For a period of one week following amalgam removal the levels of mercury increase approximately 30%. Within 2 weeks levels reduce significantly. [82, 89]. (Symptoms may initially increase before improving.)
2. Removal of amalgam fillings resulted in significant reduction in body burden and mercury in body waste [75,82,88,89,93,95,96,115,200, 316,57].
3. Total reduction of mercury in blood and urine levels is often reduced by 80% within a few months after removal. [82,89,93,96,200,316,57].
4. Thousands of documented cases are available supporting improved health and/or cure of serious chronic illnesses after removal of mercury amalgam fillings coupled with nutritional, antioxidant and detoxification treatment (see list and references below).

Various symptoms (212,232,233,35,95)
Vision disturbances (322)
5. In a German study of Multiple Sclerosis patients whose amalgam dental fillings were removed, 85% recovered from illnesses. (302,308)
6. Interviews of a large population of Swedish patients who had amalgams removed. it was found that virtually all reported significant permanent health (233).
7. A 17 year study of even a larger population had similar results. (237,282). (i.e. 89% of those reporting allergies had significant improvement or total elimination; extrapolated to U.S. population this would represent over 17 million people with allergies who would benefit.
8. Body mercury burden was found to play a role in resistant viral infections such as Chlamydia trachomatis and herpes. Many cases can only be effectively treated by antibiotics after removal of mercury.(251,131).
