After being haunted by the Quackwatch Team for over 5 years now ...
sometimes I wonder if they could ever surprise me ...

Disinformation Specialist Probert today thru out even more garbage.

The Quackwatch / Junkscience team are deniers of the dangers of
mercury amalgam ... Probert, like Barrett, considers himself an
expert. Sure.

This boy would lie about anything it seems.

His claim below is typical propaganda.

Probert spouts:

I went to Medline ... there were 235 studies using that term ... the
first 20 I've copied below.

www.BreastImplantAwareness.org/PropagandistProbert.html

He just churns out the lies after lies ... this one will go on his
Propagandist Probert website to describe this typical Quackwatch /
Healthfraud behavior ...

Typical of the Quack Gang ... seriously  minimize the harm from the
products of their handlers ... and blow out of proportion and throw
out every form of clarity any problem that occurs near an alternative
practice ... when Con Med has failed yet another patient.

Effect of restoration of children's teeth with mercury amalgam on the
prevalence of mercury- and antibiotic-resistant oral bacteria.The
purpose of this study was to determine whether placement of mercury
amalgam restorations in children's teeth induces an increase in oral
bacteria resistant to mercury, penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin,
or tetracycline.

Mercury-reactive lymphocytes in peripheral blood are not a marker for
dental amalgam associated disease.OBJECTIVES: The popular press and
publications associated with alternative medicine increasingly report
that chronic ill health, particularly myalgic encephalitis like
conditions, are associated with mercury amalgam fillings.

Scanning electrochemical microscopy imaging of rhodochrosite
dissolution using gold amalgam microelectrodes.Gold/mercury amalgam
(Au/Hg) microelectrodes with a diameter of 25 microm were developed
for the detection of environmentally relevant analytes such as
manganese and iron by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), and
applied to investigate the controlled dissolution of manganese
carbonate (MnCO(3); rhodochrosite) in acidic conditions.

Prevalence and antibiotic resistance profile of mercury-resistant oral
bacteria from children with and without mercury amalgam fillings.Genes
encoding resistance to mercury and to antibiotics are often carried on
the same mobile genetic element and so it is possible that
mercury-containing dental materials may select for bacteria resistant
to mercury and to antibiotics.

The relationship between amalgam restorations and mercury levels in
male dentists and nondental health professionals.OBJECTIVES: The
objectives of this study were: (1) to compare the mercury levels in
general dentists with the mercury levels in other health professionals
using toenail clippings as a biomarker, (2) to identify risk factors
associated with high mercury levels, and (3) to compare practice
characteristics of dentists with high and low mercury levels.

Syntheses, structure, and derivatization of potassium complexes of
penta(organo)[60]fullerene-monoanion, -dianion, and -trianion into
hepta- and octa(organo)fullerenes.Two-electron reduction of
penta(organo)[60]fullerenes C(60)Ar(5)H (Ar = Ph and biphenyl) by
potassium/mercury amalgam afforded potassium complexes of the
corresponding open-shell radical dianions [K+(thf)n]2[C60Ar5(2-.

Urinary mercury concentrations associated with dental restorations in
adult women aged 16-49 years: United States, 1999-2000.BACKGROUND:
Mercury amalgam dental restorations have been used by dentists since
the mid 19th century and issues on safety continue to be periodically
debated within the scientific and public health communities.

Determination of glutathione in single human hepatocarcinoma cells by
capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection.A method for
determination of glutathione (GSH) in single human hepatocarcinoma
(HH) cells was described by capillary zone electrophoresis with
electrochemical detection at a gold/mercury amalgam micro-disk
electrode.

Multiple sclerosis and dental amalgam: case-control study in Ferrara,
Italy.Dental amalgam fillings containing mercury have been suggested
as a possible risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS).

Dental amalgam and selenium in blood.It has been suggested that
selenium (Se) exhibits protective effects against mercury (Hg)
toxicity in humans due to formation of a Hg-Se complex bound to
selenoprotein P in blood.

Transmission electron microscopic study of early stage gamma(1)
(Ag(2)Hg(3)) and beta(1) (Ag-Hg) phases: technical note.Incomplete
reaction, residual free mercury, and high volatility of mercury are
often major causes of the discrepancy in chemical composition of
gamma(1) measured by different methods.
