Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I have read Cutler's book and decided to replace my 13 amalgams, but composites have xenoestrogenic plastics like bishenol-A (and also Aluminum Oxide). This has me very concerned and I am going crazy trying to decide if I should get composites. After researching xenoestrogens they seem horrific, with plenty of scientists claiming them to be harmful. bisphenol-A affects the enodrine system in very small amounts and accumulates in the body, cause breast/prostate cancer and damage hormone activity. Xenoestrogens/composites seems similar to where mercury amalgams were a few decades ago - the ADA/dentists saying it is perfectly safe, and unbiased scientists saying it is not. Is a composite backlash coming soon, the way amalgams were exposed? Gold and porcelain fillings have metals and are probably out of my league financially. Which is the least evil - mercury in amalgams, xenoestrogens in composites, aluminum in porcelain, or mixed metals in gold? Is my concern unfounded? Have my 13 mercury fillings made me paranoid?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 This " poison composite " issue is a fraud based rave by ADA supporters to try to protect amalgam. There is nothing legitimate to it.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Not sure I understand... Are you saying composites are safe? Would you choose composites if you had to choose replacements for amalgams? Thanks > > This " poison composite " issue is a fraud based rave by ADA supporters > to try to protect amalgam.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Testing is a good idea. Of course like mercury, xenoestrogens can be harmful without producing " reactions " . So if the allergy test says xenoestrogens are safe for you, this is only in an allergic sense. The chemicals will still do their damage, like mercury does to people who don't " react " to it - it still damages their brain and CNS. > Go to HalHuggins.com for literature on fillings.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 jedidonna I'd like to add some perspective to my initial xenoestrogen/ mercury comparison post. Although I abhor putting composites in my mouth I'd rather have that than mercury. Bisphenol-A xenoestrogenic methacrylate plastic in most composites is the same plastic stuff used to line the inside of cans for canned food. To add to the problem, the food is canned and then heated to cook/sterilize the food while it is inside the can. Heat and food acids accelerate leaching of chemicals from the lining to contaminate the food. This plastic is also used to make baby bottles, which are often warmed in microwave ovens. Again, heat leaching the chemicals. Tooth sealants are also made of these plastics. You see my point - you don't want xenoestrogens, but you might be getting enough from other sources that your composites won't make a difference. Even bottled water is affected from the plastic container. There is a striking similarity to the mercury amalgam issue - most people today are not even aware of xenoestrogens. People still heat food and drinks in plastic containers/food wrapping. Xenoestrogens do accumulate in fatty tissue over time, so a lifetime of exposure could be a problem as one ages. Only in the past recent decades have humans been exposed to these chemicals, and now breast/prostate/uterine cancers are showing up in alarming numbers. The plastics industry says these chemicals are safe, much like the ADA said mercury was safe. Notice how girls are sexually mature at very early ages nowadays, and how boys seem less masculine? And how reports of amphibians and fish are found with both sex organs. Near me in VA, male fish in the Potomac river are producing eggs. Xenoestrogens are also found in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, pesticides, meat and dairy products... Porcelain has aluminum, etc... which has it's share of problems as well. You probably made the best choice going with composites. I'd say you are much much better off than before when you had mercury fillings!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 r7r7r7us, I thought what you wrote was very informative. I might add that, no one should be microwaving food, which creates unhealthy changes in the blood. Microwaving food in plastic is even worse and really asking for troubles. I have read and heard the same information about changes in fish. Herbal Healer Academy has an article posted in the Breaking News section about the problem and also one of the tapes. I have been taking the Naturopathic course with them and was wondering if you were taking it also? Your post just reminded me of things that I have been learning through the courses. It would be interesting to me to talk to someone else that was taking the program. Thanks, a Re: Xenoestrogens the next mercury?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hi a I am not taking any courses but am considering doing so. I will look into the Herbal Healer course - sounds interesting. I have not researched microwave ovens much but have heard of the issue. My 12 mercury amalgams and my symptoms of mercury poisoning led me to research amalgam removal / chelation and safe alternative filling materials, and thus composite materials. I don't want to replace one problem with another. The Xenoestrogen issue is so widespread that even though it may not be as harmful per dose as mercury, there is so much of it out there that it might be creating a disaster for humans and the environment. Some wildlife may be threatened with extinction because of sexual deformities, and some males are " being phased out " . Are humans next? The fact that there are no completely safe natural materials in use as fillings is a cruel joke and a dark side to technology and capitalism. Lab created chemicals = patents = profits = power = corruption. Natural filling materials do not lead to assembly line profits. The US government should be protecting citizens by having proof of safety before release to market and conducting unbiased lab tests with our tax dollars. Instead the groups designed to protect citizens are now policing themselves and protecting themselves... ADA AMA... Basically I realized that no one has my best interest at stake, and it is up to me to demand proper treatment and control of my health. I have been jerked around and lied to so many times by " medical professionals " . I have been poisoned and hacked, and have lost a good chunk of my life because of it. I trust no one now, and rely only on my own judgment as to what is good for my body. So one of my hobbies now is natural health, going back to evolution and nature for answers instead of modern tainted technology. Best thing I ever did for my health. Like I said I'm not in your program but I am very interested in this stuff, so feel free to email me! > r7r7r7us, > I thought what you wrote was very informative.
