While the FDA continues to claim that silver fillings in your teeth are not hazardous, evidence to the contrary continues. (Note: These fillings contain mercury, the second most toxic element on earth, exceeded only by plutonium. Where is the common sense here?) A New Zealand study summarized in PubMed states that mercury in fillings can cause fatigue, memory problems, and depression:
Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2006 Aug 5;27(4)
Mercury toxicity presenting as Chronic Fatigue, memory impairment and depression: Diagnosis, treatment, susceptibility, and outcomes in a New Zealand general practice setting (1994-2006)...
"In a group of 465 patients diagnosed as having chronic mercury toxicity (CMT), 32.3% had severe fatigue, 88.8% had memory loss, and 27.5% had depression. A significant correlation was found between CMT and the Apo-lipoprotein E4 genotype (p=0.001). An investigation into an additional 864 consecutively seen general practice patients, resulted in 30.3% having evidence consistent with CMT, and once again a significant correlation was found with the APO-E4 genotype (p=0.001). Removal of amalgam mercury fillings when combined with appropriate treatment resulted in a significant symptom reduction (p< 0.001) to levels reported by healthy subjects."
