ANNOUNCEMENT:  NHANES III RESEARCH ON THIS SITE RECEIVES FUNDING

$120 MILLION, 6 YEAR U.S. GOVERNMENT HEALTH SURVEY CONFIRMS
AMALGAM DENTAL FILLINGS (50% MERCURY) ARE A POISON, AT MORE
THAN 4 FILLINGS IN A PATIEN
Further updates to follow…. On May 17, 2002, this website has received
confirmation that a prestigious charitable organization has

approved funding for verification of the amalgam research on this site. 
The funding approval was for further research into the Data Screens below,
to simply confirm that the data is “what it says”.  We will be hiring the best
scientists on the planet to do these confirmations.  Once this work is completed,
we will move to bring a complete ban on dental amalgam into effect worldwide. 
We again ask the dentists of this world to stop using amalgam immediately

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT – MAY 11, 2002 – FOR WORLDWIDE RELEASE
Between 1988 and 1994, $120 Million Dollars was spent on the largest
health survey in history,the U.S. National Health and Nutritional Exam
Survey (NHANES 3).  It was the third survey of its kind in the past 20 years.
 
The 6-year survey is owned by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta,
and the survey size was 35,000 people covering the entire cross-section of
the American People
.
The only survey of similar time and expense is the United States Census. 
The results of the NHANES 3 Survey are valid for the entire US Population. 
Where the Census tries to survey everyone and get answers to surface questions
(age, income, etc…), NHANES III is random and drills down into 6,000 questions
and exam details about the health of each person in the survey.  The survey is
neutral for age, race, gender, income, etc.. making it valuable to researchers. 
 
There are thousands of “studies” that say that dental amalgam is a poison, and
thousands of “studies” that say it is safe.  This controversy has raged for over
150 years.  Using the power of computer technology, you are about to see for
the first time in history “what” is happening in the general population concerning
dental fillings.  This is not a “study”, these are the actual results of the largest
human health survey in history.
 
Unbelievably, both sides are correct.  The studies that say amalgam is a poison
are right, and so are the studies that say amalgam is not a poison.  How can this
be?  Well, the arguments given by both sides for over 150 years are that “the dose
makes the poison”.  In the case of amalgam fillings, in 1995 Dr. Mark Richardson
of Health Canada
 released a report (Click Here for PDF copy) saying the safe level
of amalgam fillings is 4 fillings, based on the “estimated” emissions of mercury
vapor from amalgam fillings.   The NHANES III survey “screenings” you will see
below CONFIRM Dr. Richardson’s calculations, making this a historic discovery.
 
Below 4 fillings, amalgams are safe, and at the level of 1 filling actually are
beneficial.  Mercury was used to treat disease for centuries, so this answer
coming from NHANES III appears to validate the American Dental Association. 
However, 25% of all disease groups have 7 or more fillings, versus 20% who have
7 or more fillings who do not have disease.  This is a massive effect, and shows
the Health Activists are correct and that “the dose does indeed make the poison”. 
The ADA is now liable for the ill effects of amalgam in this group.
 
The fact is, people who are ill often recover when they remove their amalgam
dental fillings.   Most of these people have “mouths full of amalgam”, which is
7 fillings and above.  NHANES III has simply shown us the facts.  This information
will be used in the political and legal process soon. The only conclusion is that
amalgam should be banned, although a warning label would cause an “effective”
ban as no patient would then want amalgam to be used anyway.
SURVEY RESULTS
The first graph below shows a core group of sick people in our society, who are susceptible to the effects of 7 dental fillings or more, which emit a large amount of mercury vapor.  The following are
the actual group sizes calculated from the NHANES survey:
 
-         1.2% or           2.16 Million said        Yes to              Infections
-         2.1% or           3.78 Million said        Yes to              Mental Illness
-         2.9% or           5.22 Million said        Yes to              Nervous System Illness
-         6.7% or           12.06 Million said      Yes to              Respiratory Illness
-         0.2% or           360,000 said               Yes to              Cancer
-         3.7% or           6.6 Million said          Yes to              Genitournary Illness
-         2.5% or           4.5 Million said          Yes to              Injuries and Poisoning
-         10.5% or         18.9 Million said        Yes to              Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders
-         15.5% or         27.9 Million said        Yes to              Circulatory Disease
-         5.2% or           9.36 Million said        Yes to              Digestive Disorders
-         6.5% or           11.7 Million said        Yes to              Connective Tissue Disease
 
To calculate the group size that said No, subtract the group size above from 180 Million.So for people who said No to Mental Illness, that group size is (180 – 3.78) 176.22 Million. The first graph below shows both the Yes and No groups, and the percentage that have Seven Or More Fillings.  As you can see, the group that said “Yes” has a much higher percentage of 7 or more fillings, across every disease group, no matter what size the disease group.

 
Add this next population chart to the previous one.  The cancer population has a much higher rate of 4-6 dental fillings than the non-cancer group:
And you get this new population chart:
Add this next population chart to the previous one.  It appears that 2-4 fillings have a beneficial effect on cancer rates, as well as circulatory disease, but more injuries.  Mercury
was used as an antibiotic for centuries, but is a potent neurotoxin.
And you get this new population chart:
Add this next population chart to the previous one.  At one filling, mercury’s effect appears to be completely beneficial.
And you get this new population chart:
Add this population chart to the previous one.  This is the remaining population,
who have no fillings at all.  Survivors of circulatory disease, the #1 Killer in the United
States, have a much higher rate of being dental-filling free than the group that is healthy.
