5. AMALGAM REALLY IS DANGEROUS
For over 150 years people have argued about whether or not amalgam is dangerous to use as a material for dental fillings. The fact is that amalgam is composed of mercury (around 43 - 54%), silver (around 20 - 35%), tin respectively copper (around 10%) and zinc (around 2%).

Mercury - after Uranium and Plutonium - is the third most poisonous substance here on Earth, so why it should not be dangerous in dental fillings when placed in the mouth of a human, but only before and after it has been placed there is beyond me!!
I personally believe that the safest indicator that amalgam must not be used for dental fillings is that most dentists I know would not use this material to fill their own teeth ...

The Danish Association for Non-Toxic Dentistry (Foreningen mod Skadeligt Dentalmateriale) is also a place to look for information. Recommended here, however, is the exclusive use of biophysical information test and frequency medicine (homeopathy) for diagnosis and treatment. My personal opinion is that this can considerably prolong the detoxification and, in severe cases of chronic metal toxicity, is simply not effective enough:
