Talk:Micromercurialism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I decided to initiate this entry of micromercurialism as there appeared to be no other Wikipedia listing that detailed a proper description of the health effects from chronic, subacute mercury exposure. What spurred me to this decision were the results of over 1,000 "healthy" individuals in the past year who had their urines properly tested for mercury by mass spectrophotometry at a world-respected CLEA lab in Chicago. What we found was astonishing: Over 90% had significant amounts of tissue-burden mercury.

There certainly is the feeling now that I am standing on the shoulders of giants before me in this area and with it a great responsibility to "get it right"on this project. After traveling around the world twice in as many years lecturing to both public and professionals alike, I wish to invite the contributions of everyone who desire to help get the facts right on this important global health issue.

The goal is to establish scientific validity as much as possible and minimize emotionally-charged, undocumentable, political outbursts that have unfortunately (although understandably) entered into this topic. There is a history dating back to the mid-1800's regarding mercury in dentistry and medicine which makes for extraordinary reading but I don't think this is the venue for it. However, it needs to be told and I will consider entering it into the Dentistry historical section with a link to micromercurialism after it is developed more completely. --Drdooley (talk) 03:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
