Besked | I have another opinion of all this... With unproven and pseudoscientific theories people like Daunderer or Mutter scare people neglecting that composite is more toxic than amalgam can ever be. The so-called "amalgam detoxication" is a placebo effect, nothing more. In Germany, all anti-amalgam amendements failed because we have well-reputated scientists like the Profs. Schiele, Reichl, Schmalz, Hallbach, Staehle, Hickl, Krönke, Ott, Zilker, Meiners and many many more that publish scientifically-based studies, not cheap anti-amalgam propaganda like Daunderer or Mutter (this man is an electrician, did you know?). The composite-companies like 3M ESPE or VOCO are the benefactorers of this propaganda. Personally, I don't want any Formaldehyde, Bisphenole A or Phenobenzole (and 77 more toxic substances) from Composite in my mouth. Being satisfied with dental amalgam for 37 years now, I hope German authorities will help to stop anti-amalgam propaganda!
COMMENT FROM HENRIK E. KOCK (Feb 26, 2011):
Mike, of course, is entitled to his own opinion in the mercury and heavy metal toxicity issue, even though I don't share a lot of it.
I just wish Mike would have stated his complete name and left his e-mail address so I could have told him personally! |
