The author concludes, "Very much indicates that too many people are exposed to great sufferings because some scientific areas have been neglected by the medical world. There are also reasons for a broad epidemiological study on the relation between civilization diseases and amalgam."
Abstract / Excerpt:
“This report is a critical evaluation of the use of dental amalgam with special consideration of the possibility of chronic mercury poisoning. The description of psychic and somatic symptoms associated with corrosion of amalgam might help people with similar symptoms to recognize the possible source of their problems. Medical practitioners need to recognize the characteristic manifestations of mercury poisoning and it is also my hope that this report might help dentists to a better understanding of the hazards of amalgam and combinations of metals.”
