Steve WELCOME and Good luck to you!

Once a while we have some uneducated idiot dentist trying
to suggest opposed views like this time Jenna Whitman
another shithead claiming to be a dentist.

There is many dishonest idiots and uneducated cons who are in
practice of dentistry.

I fought with FDA and because of ONLY my actions after going
through the office of President of US FDA was forced to respond
and now FDA is pretending that they are doing something!

The role of metals in autoimmunity and the link to neuroendocrinology
Jenny Stejskal MD., Vera Stejskal PhD., Neuroendocrinology Letters,
1999

Current literature indicates a risk for metal-induced autoimmunity in
man. Metal pathology may be due to toxic or allergic mechanisms where
both play a role. The main factors decisive for disease induced by
metals are exposure and genetics which determine the individual
susceptibility to metals. This paper reviews the possible mechanics
which may play a role in metal-induced autoimmunity with the emphasis
on multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthrisis (RA) and amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS). We also discuss the role of inflammation-
induced changes in the hypotalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as a
possible explanation of fatigue, depression and other psychosomatic
symptoms observed in these diseases.

Metal-specific lymphocytes: biomarkers of sensitivity in man
Vera Stejskal, PhD., et al., Neuroendocrinology Letters, 1999
The MELISA® test has been performed in more than 3000 patients
suffering from various oral and systemic symptoms (resembling chronic
fatigue) often in combination with metal intolerance. Nickel was
found to be the most common sensitizer followed by inorganic mercury,
gold, cadmium and palladium. Replacement of amalgam and other dental
metals resulted in health improval in a majority of patients and in
the decrease of positive MELISA® response.

Metal-specific lymphocytes: biomarkers of sensitivity in man
Vera Stejskal, PhD., et al., Amalgam and Health
This article was presented at the conference "Amalgam and health -
new perspectives on risks" in Stockholm on January 14 1998 (If there
was a needle in a haystack - could we find it? The case of amalgam).
Although the title is the same as the article which was later
published in NEL 1999 (above article), the results are here described
in more detail.

Health observations before and after amalgam removal
Dr.med.dent. Paul Engel, Lyss-Strasse 24, 2560 Nidau, Switzerland
From the 1800 patients whom I had treated in the last four years,
roughly 90 wished to have their
partially intact amalgam fillings -often done by me - replaced by
another material (mostly
composites and compomere). Predominantly, these were patients with
certain health problems,
who had been influenced by an acquaintance or via different media and
had learned of the
possible toxic effect of mercury from amalgam.

Mercury and nickel allergy: risk factors in fatigue and in
autoimmunity
Ivan Sterzl, MD., et al., Neuroendocrinology Letters, 1999
This study examined the presence of hypersensitivity to dental and
environmental metals in patients with clinical disorders complicated
with chronic fatigue syndrome. 22 patients with autoimmune
thyroiditis, 28 fatigued patients free from endocrinopathy and 22
fatigued professionals without evidence of autoimmunity were studied.
As controls, a population sample of 13 healthy subjects without any
evidence of metal sensitivity was included. To evaluate the relevance
of positive in vitro findings, the replacement of amalgam with metal-
free restorations was performed. At a six-month follow-up, patients
reported considerably alleviated fatigue and disappearance of many
symptoms previously encountered; in parallel, lymphocyte responses to
metals decreased, as well. We suggest that metal-driven inflammation
may affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) and
indirectly trigger psychosomatic multisymptoms characterising chronic
fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other diseases of unknown
etiology.
