Mercury Medicine
Mercury and Cancer
The practical questions each parent and family needs to face in regards to mercury are:
1) Should I let dentists put mercury in my children’s mouths?
2) Should I let the pediatrician inject mercury into my baby’s body?
3) Should I eat fish that contain high levels of mercury?
4) Should I live anywhere near a coal fired power station or…
5) Should I throw out my old mercury thermometer?
6) Is mercury involved in the etiology of my or my children’s diseases and learning disorders?
Mercury Causes Chronic Disease
The association of mercury to chronic diseases is well documented in the didactic scientific literature. The search for the association between mercury and cardiovascular disease reveals 358 scientific papers exemplifying the relationship; between mercury and cancer we find 643 scientific papers. The association of mercury with neurodegenerative diseases is the most significant, with the references numbering 1,445. The main areas of anxiety in regards to mercury are dental, medical, and environmental. These three areas comprise what is known as the three faces of mercury. Rarely are the three mercury concerns presented together so seldom do we get a fair account of the accumulating danger, which are greater than anyone is ready to admit.
Dental Mercury
Mercury used in dental fillings comes into the dental office with the poisonous cross and bones symbol right on the product information insert. Legally when the mercury is taken out of someone’s mouth it is considered a toxic waste that needed to be treated in a very specific way but dentists around the world pretend its safe in the mouth.
Environmental Issues
Mercury can travel great distances in the atmosphere before it is eventually deposited back to the earth in rainfall or in dry gaseous forms. Thus, mercury is a global problem that knows no national or continental boundaries. The Chinese are in denial as are most officials in anyway attached to the established economic order that pollutes the environment.
Chemical Radioactivity
Scientists have long known that forest fires release mercury into the atmosphere. Peatlands, which are widespread in the vast boreal forest stretching across nearly every Canadian province and far into the territories, release huge tonnages of mercury when burnt because, “As water flows through, peat filters mercury out of the water,” said Mike Flannigan of the Canadian Forest Service. When peatlands burn, mercury is released into the atmosphere, eventually falling to earth where it combines with sulphur to form mercury’s most toxic form. Climate change could double the estimate that peat-burning forest fires currently release 341 tonnes per year across the world’s northern forests. That compares with about 48 tonnes annually for all American power plants.
