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.
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.
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.
