A classification first published in 1993, that has been adopted as a consensus definition, identifies StevensâJohnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and SJS/TEN overlap. All three are part of a spectrum of severe cutaneous reactions (SCAR) which affect skin and mucous membranes.
Approximately half of a dental amalgam filling is liquid mercury and the other half is a powdered alloy of silver, tin, and copper. Mercury is used to bind the alloy particles together into a strong, durable, and solid filling.he form of mercury associated with dental amalgam is elemental mercury, which releases mercury vapor. The form of mercury found in fish is methylmercury, a type of organic mercury. Mercury vapor is mainly absorbed by the lungs. Methylmercury is mainly absorbed through the digestive tract.
Each mercury atom can potentially destroy a nerve cell or lymphocyte blood cell. Lymphocytes are the back-bone of our body's immune system. While removal of amalgam fillings stops any further poisoning, you still need to detoxify your body to eliminate the residual effects of mercury.Mercury is a toxic heavy metal and the chronic health problems associated with its use in dental fillings is very well documented in the scientific literature.ach mercury atom can potentially destroy a nerve cell or lymphocyte blood cell.
