Thank you @hum07 …I have used AI to offer an English translation below:
Mercury leads to an increased release of IgE, antimetabolites and lysozyme. Autoantibodies are induced. Autoimmune diseases, immune disorders and hair loss have been observed. Increased rates of miscarriages, stillbirths, congenital abnormalities, delayed growth, and infertility in both men and women have been reported. In cases of cervical cancer, mercury levels in the serum were found to be twice as high.
Heavy metal poisoning is particularly associated with a narrowing of the visual field. In mercury intoxication, there is a correlation between damage in the occipital region and constriction of the visual field. A restricted visual field can also be associated with strabismus (crossed eyes).
Mercury — like all toxins — leads to an increased release of free radicals in the body. This places greater demands on the body’s antioxidant systems.
These include enzymes, lecithin, sulfur-containing amino acids, selenium, and vitamins A, C and E.
According to DMPS testing, mercury (Hg) levels in urine increase with the number of fillings. In monkeys implanted with amalgam, increasing mercury excretion was associated with hormonal disturbances and polycystic ovaries. Of all the endocrine glands, the thyroid was found to store the greatest amount of mercury.
There are no threshold limits for mercury exposure in the medical field. In occupational medicine in Germany, chronic mercury exposure is recognized as a disease and is known as micromercurialism.
The occupational exposure limit is 10 µg Hg/m³ of air. For residential areas, the limit is 2.5 µg Hg/m³ of air. In patients without amalgam, no value above 0.3 µg Hg/m³ of air was measured in exhaled breath. In patients with amalgam, values at rest ranged between 3 and 28 µg Hg/m³ of air. Levels of 62 µg Hg/m³ were measured when brushing teeth, 48 µg Hg/m³ when chewing gum, and 45 µg Hg/m³ when drinking hot beverages.
The saliva of patients with amalgam contains an average of 4.9 µg Hg/L. The World Health Organization (WHO) limit for mercury in drinking water is 1 µg Hg/L.
According to studies from the Universities of Erlangen and Düsseldorf, mercury exposure from amalgam is 20 times greater than exposure from food. The text states that this has also been acknowledged by the World Health Organization. Mercury from amalgam is absorbed through the lungs as mercury vapor, with 80% being absorbed. In food (for example, fish), mercury is organically bound and only 30% is absorbed.
0.2% of all patients have an amalgam allergy (approximately 200,000 people in Germany).
When different metals are used in the mouth, electrical currents can occur. Reported symptoms include burning of the tongue, dry mouth, metallic taste, dizziness, aphthous ulcers and lichen ruber (lichen planus).
The stated limits for electrical currents in the mouth are:
<100 mV, <3 µA, <60 nW.
Removal of amalgam fillings is currently covered only when a metal allergy to components of amalgam is present. A metal allergy can be demonstrated using a patch test (epicutaneous test) and a lymphocyte transformation test. Both testing procedures are covered by health insurance.
