What Michigan v. EPA Might Mean for the Amalgam Separator Mandate

US Supreme Court Building

The very fact that you’re reading this blog is a good sign that you already know something about the health risks posed by mercury amalgam “silver” fillings. In that case, the headline on Dr. Mercola’s latest article on the subject was probably no surprise but just a statement of fact: There Is NO Safe Level […]

Mercury Amalgam & Root Canals: 2 Must-See Videos

 

Mercury Amalgam News Roundup

Last fall, we cheered the EPA’s proposed amalgam separator rule. The ADA’s response, on the other hand, was weirdly guarded. You’d think they’d be all for a rule “based largely,” they said, “on the Association’s best management practices, including the use of amalgam separators.” Heck, they even “consulted with the EPA as it developed the […]

At Last! EPA Releases Its Proposed Amalgam Separator Rule

Another important step toward a mercury-free future was taken last week: The EPA formally proposed its long-awaited rule on mercury discharges from dental offices.

Talk about “silver fillings,” though, and things get a little more complicated. After all, a metal like gold or a precious stone like a ruby […]

From the Archives: The Foundation of Healing from Mercury Amalgam & Other Dental Toxins

Originally posted September 18, 2012; updated If mercury fillings are so toxic, why doesn’t everyone who has them get sick? Why doesn’t everyone with long-term, chronic illness heal quickly once triggers such as root canal teeth or cavitations are removed or treated? Why do some people not heal at all – or even get sicker? […]

Why a Total Ban of Mercury Amalgam Is Needed

Passage of the global mercury treaty now known as the Minamata Convention was an amazing achievement. It’s not even close to perfect, of course. Perhaps its most significant shortcoming is that it doesn’t require an actual phase-out of dental amalgam. The way it’s written, as we’ve noted before, a country doesn’t need to take any […]
