About this episode

The episode discusses the dangers of mercury in dental fillings and its potential link to Alzheimer's disease with guest Anita Vazquez-Tibau.

Could the silver fillings in your mouth be damaging your brain? In today’s episode, I interview Anita Vazquez-Tibau, an international advocate and researcher dedicated to ending the global use of toxic mercury in dentistry. Together, we dive into the shocking truth about dental amalgam fillings, which contain up to 54% mercury, a known neurotoxin. I was astounded to learn that despite the risks, the American Dental Association still claims that these fillings are safe. Anita explains how mercury not only poses a risk to your brain health but can also lead to neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s. We also discuss the global fight against mercury dental fillings, the Minamata Convention, and what you can do to protect your health if you have mercury fillings. If you or someone you love is dealing with cognitive decline, this episode could be an eye-opener. “The key is to have a good biological dentist who knows how to do oral surgery.
