INSIGHT

Oral Microbiome and Leaky Gums

  • The oral cavity is a significant microbiome, second only to the gut, and influences gut health.
  • Leaky gums, similar to leaky gut, allow pathogens direct access to the bloodstream, affecting various systems.
ADVICE

Safe Amalgam Removal

  • Remove amalgam fillings safely with a qualified biological dentist using the SMART protocol.
  • Prioritize safe removal to minimize mercury exposure, a significant toxin and immune trigger.
ADVICE

Stable Amalgams

  • Don't leave stable amalgam fillings in place, as they constantly release mercury vapor.
  • This chronic exposure is cumulative and more significant than dietary sources like fish.
