Amalgam fillings in our teeth are toxic and harmful to our health, America’s health regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has finally admitted this week after claiming for years that they were safe.

This unprecedented about-turn marks the sudden end of a lawsuit that had been mounted by advocacy groups, such as Moms Against Mercury, who are seeking to ban the use of mercury in amalgam fillings and children’s vaccinations.

In an official statement, which has now been posted on the FDA website, the regulator admitted that mercury-containing dental fillings may have neuro-toxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetuses.

The statement puts the US in line with a handful of other countries that already ban the use of mercury fillings in pregnant women. The FDA is calling for further research, and may announce a complete ban on amalgam fillings.

What Doctors Don’t Tell You has called for the ban of amalgam fillings since 1990 and its Dental Handbook provides a complete guide about their dangers, and when and how you should remove them. Dentists warn that an inexpert removal of amalgam fillings can cause serious chronic illness, and they’re right. The Dental Handbook explains how it should be done. Best of all, it’s available for download now, which makes it can be on your PC desktop in moments.
