Mercury has been linked to Alzheimer's disease by a number of different studies that have accumulated over the last two decades. Watch and listen to published scientists talk about how mercury can cause many of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. This article was taken from the IAOMT's Petition For Reconsideration, which prompted the FDA to re-evaluate their 2009 ruling that amalgam was safe for everyone.

Chris Shade of QuickSilver Scientific discusses the various aspects of synergistic toxicity.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) once again ignores their own data on mercury vapor to exclude it from their "Interaction profile for: Chlorpyrifos, Lead, Mercury, and Methylmercury", of which the primary effect of concern for this mixture is neurological, and the sub-population of concern is children. ATSDR has thus chose to not acknowledge or address the primary exposure of mercury in the population, that of dental mercury amalgam fillings.

How can 1 + 1 = 100? "Synergistic toxicity" refers to the effect that when exposed to two toxins, the toxicity level is far greater than the additive toxicity levels of the two toxins. Research is increasingly showing that different toxins are typically synergistic rather than additive in the human body. However when testing is performed on a toxicity of a substance, the 'level of harm' is set based on an assumption that the substance is the only toxin to which he body is being exposed
