I found this to be very interesting. I knew about the filings but not the other metals.
Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury can accumulate in the body. When this, the heavy metals build up in the blood and eventually in the tissue for storage. In the meantime, the liver works diligently to move heavy metals out of the blood and into the large intestine, where they can be excreted.
When it comes to heavy metals, mercury gets a lot of attention. Mercury is a dangerous toxin that can poison the central nervous system (in addition to overworking the liver).
Dental amalgams—or “silver fillings”—are roughly 50% mercury. The mercury in dental amalgams may release gas, which can result in toxic levels of mercury in the body.
Mercury toxicity is increasingly common and can cause memory loss, irritability, and depression. Mercury exposure can come from fish in the diet and silver dental fillings.
Signs of mercury toxicity affecting the nervous system include:
Memory loss
Irritability
Depression
Tremors
Numbness or burning sensation in the skin (2)(3)
Heavy metal toxicity is also associated with lower IQ, developmental delays, and behavioral disorders in children.
The most common heavy metals that we are exposed to are lead from lead paint, mercury from fish and dental amalgams, arsenic from treated lumber and contaminated water, and cadmium from pigments and bakeware.
