چکیده

A relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and dental silver-mercury fillings has been suggested by some investigators, but never proven. This study documents objective biochemical changes following the removal of these fillings along with other dental materials, utilizing a new health care model of multidisciplinary planning and treatment. The dramatic changes in photolabeling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins following these dental interventions suggest CSF photolabeling may serve as an objective biomarker for monitoring MS. The clear-cut character of these changes should also encourage more research to better define this possible association between dental mercury and MS.

Evidence that Mercury from Silver Dental Fillings May Be an Etiological Factor in Reduced Nerve Conduction Velocity in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Seven multiple sclerosis subjects had their silver dental fillings (amalgams) removed which contained approximately 50% mercury. A visual evoked response (VER) test was performed before amalgam removal. Approximately six months after amalgam removal a second VER test was performed on all subjects, and the latencies of the VER decreased significantly. The mean latency of P1 for the right and lef...

A Comparison of Oral Health Between Multiple Sclerosis Subjects with Dental Amalgams and Those with Amalgams Removed

93 Abstract The findings presented here suggest that mercury poisoning from dental amalgams may play a role in the etiology of oral health disorders in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Comparisons between MS subjects with dental amalgams and a control group of MS subjects without amalgams found significantly fewer oral cavity symptoms per subject in the amalgam-removal group during twelve mont...

The beneficial effect of amalgam replacement on health in patients with autoimmunity.

BACKGROUND Patients with certain autoimmune and allergic diseases, such as systemic lupus, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune thyroiditis or atopic eczema, often show increased lymphocyte stimulation by low doses of inorganic mercury in vitro. The patients often report clinical metal hypersensitivity, especially to nickel. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS In this study we examined the health impact of amalg...
