Are Your Silver Fillings Negatively Affecting Your Health?
Did you know that once you remove mercury from the tooth, it becomes a toxic product? Dr. Todd LePine joins me on the Doctor’s Farmacy to talk about how everything we are exposed to, known as the exposome, affects our health and risk for disease. Many patients with silver fillings have high levels of inorganic mercury. But once the silver fillings are removed their levels drop and their health improves.
