> The history of amalgams is fascinating.
My favourite anecdote is the source of the derogatory term "quack". It was first applied to dental surgeons who began using mercury based dental restoratives, about 175 years ago. They were a European innovation, and quack arose from the German word for mercury, quacksilber.
> The best book on the topic is called Amalgam Illness, by PHd Andrew Cutler. Unlike most authors, he himself was chronically seriously ill. He was healed by removing amalgams and then chelating with low dose frequent dose DMSA and ALA. DMSA is a strong sulfur prescription med that pulls mercury and lead out of hiding in the peripheral body, while ALA is one of only two substances on the planet that can enter the brain barrier and remove mercury. The other is cilantro. Dr. Cutler goes into great detail on the history of amalgams, how the mercury gets out of the amalgams and into you, where it goes, and what it does. Very detailed, very scientific, packed full of references, backing, and proof, as well as his own experience and research. Some of the book is medical lingo, hard for someone who hasn't been to medical school to understand. Much of it though is understandable to an average person.
I just ordered the book. Where on Earth would you get DMSA?
