Has anyone heard that mercury fillings could cause Parkinson’s?

No dentist I've met will ever criticise mercury fillings but mercury is a neurotoxin and toxic in general. One must be careful having them removed as the mercury can spread if not properly suctioned. Better to avoid mercury, heavy metals and pesticides in general.

Mercury amalgam fillings are not good for anyone. Had mine replaced 15 years ago. That process, however, if not done properly can cause more problems. My husband who has PD has never had a cavity in his life but still has mercury toxicity. He also has mold toxicity, glyphosate toxicity, and so on. I have come to believe that ANY toxicity can be a huge factor in developing PD.

About 20 yrs ago, I had a mercury amalgam filling removed improperly and my parkinsons symptoms started about a week later. See my profile for more detailed information.
