Heintze, V., Edwardson, S., Derand, T., and Birkhed, D., "Methylation of Mercury from dental saliva of high buffering capacity, promote periodontal health and raise resistance against dental caries. it would seem not unrea- sonable to suggest that such a scheme of preventive dental med- icine based on a natural mecha- nism and man’s scientific dental knowledge could bring the con- quest of dental caries and peri- odontal disease within everyone's reach. It might win general acceptance if it were realised that the dietary factors involved in the pathogenesis of dental caries and periodontal disease are also implicated in the aetiology of many fatal disorders.’” Clearly, Adatia's statement together with the accumulating evidence of mer- cury amalgam toxicity urge upon us the need to re-evaluate preventative and restorative dental care in the light of Nature's blueprint for health. 64¢NEXUS Continued from page 18 a ce ee ee ee OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 1992
