In the case of mercury exposure from dental fillings, the problem becomes chronic. Research shows that mercury vapor is continuously released from amalgam fillings in a measurable amount from the moment the fillings are inserted into the teeth. Each time the person chews, drinks, (particularly hot liquids), brushes his teeth, swallows and breathes, mercury is released from dental fillings and is absorbed by the lungs and linings of the digestive system, and consequently enters into the bloodstream. This process can go on for years without you knowing about it!
The Price You Pay for Murcury Intoxication
New studies may show that the cost of this intoxication, especially by mercury (Hg), is even larger than now believed. Public demand for heavy metal detoxification may increase use of the various chelators and procedures that appeared to work well via the kidneys, in acute poisoning cases of the last four decades. However, for chronic exposures, we discuss reasons to expect that both the body burdens and the associated risk of kidney injury may be much greater. Your kidney cannot possible handle all the toxins you have in your body, you will have to depend on your most effective detox organ, which is your skin.
Sauna Detox
On the brighter side, we explain why urgently needed research may find that sweating, especially in dry sauna (180°F dry air produces 1 quart of sweat in 20 minutes!), and the use of ascorbic acid may both protect the kidney. If true, dry sauna may provide the safest, best and most economical therapy by far, for most people. Your skin contains millions of pores which flushes out toxins and heavy metal during a sauna session. Researches has found that sweat contains more toxins and urea than urine itself!
Get Your Own Home Sauna!
If you are interested in purchasing a home sauna, you might have a look at the new far infrared saunas. There are two kinds of heat - convection heat and radiant heat. Convection heat uses a medium such as air to carry warmth from the heat source to your body. Radiant heat uses a frequency of light that resonates with water molecules. This frequency of light is called "far infrared". Far infrared heat is safe, being the same kind of heat that warms you in sunlight or in front of a fire. If you have ever held your hand over a flashlight, you will know that light penetrates the body. Unlike convection heat which just warms the skin, far infrared penetrates several centimeters below the surface of the body. Due to this deep heating effect, a far infrared sauna produces much more sweat. However, more people do not like the dry heat, many prefer the steam sauna, which uses steam to heat up the sauna room. Either way, as long as you sweat, you are detoxifying well.
Symptoms of Mercury Intoxication
One main indication of mercury toxicity is the lack of response to care in which an individual has symptoms which don't necessarily indicate a specific disease, but are troubling and have been resistant to healing attempts including medicinal and surgery. There are a number of scenarios in which the teeth and the way dentists work with the teeth can play a role in disease. There is such an array of symptoms and conditions that are attributed to heavy metal toxicity that it can be confusing both to a patient and the practitioner. In such cases, metal toxicity should be on the list of suspicions. It is best to first consult your doctor if you suspect that you or anyone you know is suffering from mercury intoxication.
