  • Dental Amalgams and Chronic Disease

    Working with a team of American researchers, we published in 2014 a review about the association between dental amalgams and chronic disease (1). The following is a summary: “The purpose of this review is to examine the evidence for a relationship between mercury (Hg) exposure from dental amalgams and certain idiopathic chronic illnesses–chronic fatigue syndrome […]

  • Petition for the Release of Publicly Funded Research Data in the US on Mercury and Infants

    Kaiser Permanente in the US used public funding to collect data and conduct a study on infants and mercury exposure. In their study, which had serious methodological flaws, they purportedly found that mercury exposure is safe for infants. Mercury Free Baby has requested the data from Kaiser Permanente, but even after repeated requests and even […]

  • The Connection between Thiomersal in Vaccines and Autism

    Neuroscientist Janet K. Kern, PhD, speaks in this video about the connection between thiomersal in vaccines and autism. Thiomersal, commonly known in the U.S. as thimerosal, is an organomercury compound. Dr. Kern gave this talk for the UNEP Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in July, 2012. She is a director of the Council for […]

  • Increased Frequency of Metal Allergy in Patients with Connective Tissue Disorders

    Stejskal, Reynolds, and Bjørklund examined the frequency of metal allergy in 38 patients with connective tissue disorders (1). Of these patients, 16 had rheumatoid arthritis, 13 had Sjögren’s syndrome, and nine had systemic lupus erythematosus. A control group of 43 healthy age and sex-matched subjects were included in the study. Metal allergy was evaluated using the […]

  • Evidence Supporting a Link between Dental Amalgams and Chronic Illness, Fatigue, Depression, Anxiety, and Suicide

    Norway and Sweden have banned amalgam, reportedly due to environmental concerns. However, the use and toxic risk of dental amalgam fillings is still a subject of ongoing debate in many countries. Now, a review conducted by a team of international researchers has provided new evidence that mercury exposure from dental amalgam may cause or contribute […]

  • Copper Amalgam and Norwegian Dental Health Personnel

    Copper Amalgam and Norwegian Dental Health Personnel

    Copper amalgams, consisting 60-70% mercury (Hg) and 30-40% copper (Cu) (1, 2), were used very commonly in Norway for children with caries – allegedly because they were thought to inhibit the development of new caries. But they were used in a way making them far more dangerous for dental health personnel than other types of […]

  • Dental Amalgam and Nanotechnology (Lecture)

    This is a lecture by the German medical doctor Joachim Mutter about dental amalgam and nanotechnology. It was held at the 4th Anti-Censorship-Conference (Anti-Zensur-Koalition) – 27. Juni 2009 in Widnau, Schweiz. Dr. Mutter is a CONEM-member.  

  • Metal-Induced Inflammation Triggers Fibromyalgia in Metal-Allergic Patients

    Metal-Induced Inflammation Triggers Fibromyalgia in Metal-Allergic Patients

    Stejskal, Öckert, and Bjørklund studied the frequency and clinical relevance of metal allergy in 15 fibromylagia (FM) patients (1). Metal allergy was measured by a lymphocyte transformation test, MELISA®. Ten healthy age matched women were used as controls. Reduction of metal exposure in the FM patients was achieved by replacement of dental metal restorations and […]
