I still find the denial rather strange. Amalgams give of mercury vapour, the most dangerous form of mercury. Mercury can collect in bodily tissues and the effects of mercury on the human body are well known.

I suppose one side of this argument says the amount of vapour released is not enough to do the damage that is being reported and the other side says it is. I do believe it is but this is something that still seems difficult to prove conclusively. I think thats because there are so many variables which can make conclusive research findings difficult. Mercury is apparantly everywhere and we are ingesting it all the time. Some people also have amalgams in and they do not cause them a problem. That is because they dont give of much vapour and the individual excretes heavy metals easily. A friend of mine went to my dentist who removed my amalgams and he advised against her having her amalgams removed.

Also a lot of the symptoms experienced in mercury tox can also be attributable to other things which further compounds this problem. For example emotional issues/problems can be because of a disturbing childhood and physical problems can be because of poor nutrition and other toxicities.
