Most of our cancer patients have
a lot of amalgam dental fillings.
Professor W. Kostler

Mercury vapors in the mouth is another form of air pollution. Each year in the U.S. an
estimated 40 tons of mercury are used to prepare mercury-amalgam dental
restorations. “Mercury from amalgam fillings has been shown to be neurotoxic,
embryotoxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic and clastogenic. It is capable of
causing immune dysfunction and autoimmune diseases,” writes Dr. Robert Gammal.

Humanity is traveling down a deadly path. There is "overwhelming evidence that every
child, no matter where in the world he or she is born, will be exposed, not only from birth,
but from conception, to man-made chemicals that can undermine the child's ability to
reach its fullest potential -- chemicals that interfere with the natural chemicals that tell
tissues how to develop and construct healthy, whole individuals according to the genes
they inherited from their mothers and fathers," says Dr. Theo Colborn, Senior Program
Scientist, at the World Wildlife Fund.

Today mankind is exposed to the highest levels in recorded history of lead, mercury,
arsenic, uranium, aluminum, copper, tin, antimony, bromine, bismuth and vanadium, just
to mention a few of the metals and thousands of chemicals flooding the environment.
Levels are up to several thousand times higher than in primitive man.

The heavy metals in the air we breathe contribute to carcinogenesis by
inducing/increasing oxidative stress Oxidative stress damages DNA and can lead to
.lxii
mutations that promote cancer. lxiii,lxiv,lxv Heavy metals also disrupt the process of apoptosis
(programmed cell death). Apoptosis is vital for safe removal of sick/unhealthy cells,
lxvi
including cells that may become cancerous.

Your doctor will always understate the risks and dangers of the drugs, tests, radiation and
surgery he or she will recommend. That is to be expected. The question of air pollution
and cancer calls into question the place where we seek treatments. Is the hospital and its
location important to treatment success? We know how dangerous hospitals are in terms
of antibiotic resistant infections. However, how about the air that surrounds and
penetrates them?
