Comparison of decayed, missing and filled teeth with the MS death
rates results in a correlation coefficient of 0.97, and the probability
of a chance occurrence is less than 0.002. This represents a nearly
perfect linear relationship between dental disease rates and MS
death rates.

Observations from the Metabolic Fringe
Mercury can bind to the oxygen-carrying site on haemoglobin and
restrict oxygen transport.
In chronically fatigued patients we found "normal" ranges
of haemoglobin in the patients studied. Venous oxyhaemoglobin levels
were tested simultaneously on the same patients.
Oxyhaemoglobin expected levels are from 65 to 75% saturation. On
our chronically fatigued patients the average saturation level was
40.3%

Children With Prenatal Exposure to Methylmercury..
A cohort of 1022 consecutive singleton births was generated during
1986 - 1987 in the Faroe Islands.
Increased methyl mercury exposure from maternal consumption of
pilot whale meat was indicated by mercury concentrations in cord
blood and maternal hair.
Development at age 7 years is delayed in children born to women
exposed to methyl mercury in their diet during pregnancy

Grandjean notes that even when children born to mothers with a
mercury exposure more than that defined as toxic by the US Environmental
Protection Agency are removed from the analysis, delayed development
still correlates with mercury exposure

Retrograde degeneration of neurite membrane structural integrity
of nerve growth cones following in vitro exposure to mercury
The chronic exposure to mercury may be a potential factor in neurodegeneration
in humans that could ultimately be observed as altered behaviour.
Retrograde degeneration of neurite membrane structural integrity
of nerve growth cones following in vitro exposure to mercury
Over a 2-year period in over 40 different cultures, it was found
that an average of 77% nerve growth cones were affected by exposure
to mercury ions.
When neurons were exposed to the heavy metals aluminium, lead,
cadmium and manganese, there was no observed degeneration of the
growth cones.
Dr. Haley, commenting on the importance of this new documentation
-
Seven of the characteristic markers that we look for to distinguish
Alzheimer's disease can be produced in normal brain tissues, or
cultures of neurons, by the addition of extremely low levels of
mercury.
In addition, research has shown that Alzheimer's diseased patients
have at least 3 times higher blood levels of mercury than controls.
How much more research is necessary before the appropriate
regulatory bodies respond with restrictions on the use of mercury-leaking
dental amalgam fillings?
BIOPROBE COMMENT: This study should remove all doubt regarding
the role that dental mercury from amalgam fillings plays in the
development of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Toxic metal clue to autism
18 June 03 Exclusive from New Scientist
Print Edition. A study of mercury levels in the baby hair of children
who were later diagnosed with autism has produced startling results.
The babies had far lower levels of mercury in their hair than other
infants, leading to speculation that autistic children either do
not absorb mercury or, more likely, cannot excrete it.

Warning on dental amalgam, used in many dental fillings, causes
exposure to mercury, a chemical known to the state of California
to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Root canal treatments and restorations including fillings, crowns
