Welcome to

Amalgam-Related Illness,
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

What is Amalgam-Related Illness? A true disease or not? No one knows. However, we know that: 1) dental amalgam fillings consists of 50% mercury, 2) mercury leaks from the fillings, 3) mercury is highly toxic and, 4) low grade chronic mercury intoxication can give rise to symptoms as; anxiety, irritability, fatigue, outbursts of temper, stress intolerance, decreased simultaneous capacity, loss of self-confidence, indecision, headache, depression, metallic taste etc... But we do not know if the amount of mercury released from dental amalgam is enough to cause illness, even in the most exposed or the most sensitive minority of the amalgam-bearing population. At this site you can find more information in the area.
