Dear PALS and Caregivers,
This article from Dr. Mercola explains the importance of dental health. Although he does not discuss ALS, the importance of understanding how our dental health affects our physical health is very important. Amalgam (mercury filled) fillings, root canals and cavitations can all be leading causes of ALS. The interesting thing about this article is that this dentist believes you need to clean up the diet and become toxin free even before starting dental treatments. That is also the goal with anyone who has ALS. Lifestyle changes have to be made in order to heal and our dental health is a big part of that equation.
Health Starts in Your Mouth

Just this month the FDA has also stated how dangerous amalgam fillings are for certain parts of the population and that list includes people with neurological diseases. The problem is that the mercury poisoning is part of the causes of neurological diseases, so the determination to not get mercury fillings should begin long before the neurological disease presents itself.
Here is the new statement/guidelines from the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-issues-recommendations-certain-high-risk-groups-regarding-mercury-containing-dental-amalgam
Love and Prayers to all,
