| dc.description.fulltext | <p>The toxicity of amalgam fillings has been under discussion in Scandinavian Countries, (1,2) Germany, (3,4) and the USA (5) since the late 1970s. Initially, symptoms were thought to be due to galvanic currents ("oral galvanism"). Clinical studies did not, however, show any correlation between the quantity of electricity generated and the severity of symptoms, (6) which, of course, does not exclude the possibility of individual hypersensitivity. Later on, attention focused more on the release of mercury and its potential toxicity. </p> <p>Amalgam fillings cause mercury to cumulate in the body. This is connected with a number of persistent, treatment - resistant symptoms , some of them serious. The problem is considered in the light of recent conventional medical research findings and of statements made by Rudolf Steiner. The question is, does amalgam exposure and disease represent a physical, ahrimanic counter image of a future , spiritual Mercury impulse.</p> <p><strong>Mercury from dental amalgam</strong></p> <p><strong>Clinical picture of amalgam intoxication</strong></p> <p><strong>The power to overcome mercury</strong></p> <p><strong>Mercury and the ether body</strong></p> <p><strong>History of amalgam</strong></p> <p><strong>The historical Mercury impulse on earth</strong></p> <p><strong>Questions for the future</strong></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p>Original title : Die Amalgamfrage.
