    Extractions: Behçet's Disease (Behçet, 1937) and Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis http://www.medicad.com Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic multisystem disorder characterized mainly by a triad of (1) recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), (2) genital ulcers, and (3) ocular lesions. BD more commonly affects individuals of Mediterranean origin, from the Middle East, China, Korea and Japan. There is an association with HLA-B5 and HLA-B51. Clinical Manifestations: I. Major criteria: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS): in 90%-100% of cases. Recurrent painful genital ulcers that tend to heal with scars: in 64%-88% of cases. Ocular lesions: Uveitis with conjunctivitis (early) and hypopyon (late), retinal vasculitis (posterior uveitis) that may result in blindness, iridocyclitis and optic atrophy. CNS lesions: meningoencephalitis, cerebral infarction, psychosis, cranial nerve palsies, cerebellar and spinal cord lesions, hemi- and quadriparesis. Skin lesions: erythema nodosum, papulopustular lesions and acneform nodules.

45. News: About The Dangers Of A Little Mercury...
    Memory is short. There was a time before the 60's when small children occasionallywere found to have a disease called Pink disease, or acrodynia.

    Extractions: Greenwashing NEWS Oct 25, 2001 About the dangers of a little mercury... In a press-release from PROVE (Parents Requesting Open Vaccine Education), dated October 17, 2001, it's revealed that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in the evaluation process of potential links between Thimerosal in vaccines and autism was not as open as it ought to be. According to the press release, the first evaluation of data showed a significantly increased risk, but this evaluation was kept confidential. When data were presented the original data were complemented, and this procedure of complementation rendered the risk assessment inconclusive. A number of lawsuits are going on, where it's claimed that thimerosal in vaccines caused neurological damage to infants, leading to the development of autism. The original data showed an increased risk of a magnitude, that previously has been taken as proof of exposures causing disease, according to the lead attorney in the filed cases, by courts of law in the United States. Conclusive or not-conclusive makes a big difference when stakes are high. Thousands of families, the attorney says, so stakes are high. So far the press release. Thimerosal is a preservative for vaccines and other drugs, such as nasal drops, ointments and drips for ophthalmic use. What makes Thimerosal controversial is its contents of mercury, and the potential neurotoxic effect from this heavy metal. There are other mercury containing preservatives used in drugs, but in vaccines Thimerosal is the substance of choice. The filed lawsuits claim that children with autism, who have participated in the vaccination programs are victims of mercuric neurotoxic effects from Thimerosal in the vaccines. The possible link between Thimerosal and autism is the subject for investigation by the CDC. The outcome of this process will of course be of great importance for what happens in the courts.

    Extractions: Mercury in Amalgam Fillings Amalgam is the name of the material that dentists use to place a “silver” filling in a tooth. It is composed of approximately 57-46% powder containing silver, tin, and copper and sometimes zinc, palladium, or indium in smaller quantities. This alloy powder is dissolved in approximately 43-54% elemental liquid mercury (United States 1993). Amalgam has been used in the field of dentistry for over 100 years (in varying concentrations). There are approximately 22 million amalgam fillings placed in the teeth of the English and the Welsh per year. In the United States, there are more than 160 million amalgams placed per year. It is used in about 75% of all fillings in these countries (Eley 2001). Amalgam is a self-hardening mixture that once set, must be removed by a high-speed drill. Today, it is mainly used in posterior teeth, usually on occlusal surfaces, as an economical, long-lasting, and durable alternative to tooth-colored filling materials such as composites and porcelain. Amalgam undergoes an initial degradation to form an oxide layer that seals the tooth-restoration interface and prevents bacterial leakage that could infect the pulp of the tooth and lead to its extraction (United States 1993).

54. CHERAB: Working On Behalf Of Children's Speech And Language Delays And Disorders
    In acrodynia, symptoms of sufferers (vs. acrodynia sufferers describe excessive painwhen bumping limbs, numbness, and poor circulation (Farnesworth, 1997).  
    http://www.cherab.org/information/dietaryeffects/mercuryautism.html
    
    Extractions: When speech develops, there may be "specific neuromotor speech disorders," including verbal dyspraxia, a dysfunction in the ability to plan the coordinated movements to produce intelligible sequences of speech sounds, or dysarthria, a weakness or lack of control of the oral musculature" leading to articulation problems (Filipek et al, 1999) In regard to language and auditory phenomena, autism's parallels to mercurialism are striking. Emerging signs of mercury poisoning are dysarthria (defective articulation in speech due to CNS dysfunction) and then auditory disturbance, leading to deafness in very high doses (Clarkson, 1992). In some cases, hearing impairment manifests as an inability to comprehend speech rather than an inability to hear sound (Dales, 1972). Hg poisoning can also result in aphasia, the inability to understand and/or physically express words (Kark et al, 1971). Speech difficulties may arise from "intention tremor, which can be noticeable about the mouth, tongue, face, and head, as well as in the extremities" (Adams et al, 1983).

Recent epidemiological studies suggest that autism may affect 1 in 150 U. S. children. Exposure to mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with autism, and the similarities extend to neuroanatomy, neurotransmitters, and biochemistry.

When widespread, it constitutes stomatitis. Bacterial infections: Usually the causative agent is streptococci. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can produce oral ulcers inoculated by sputum from the lungs. Syphilis can produce a primary chancre. If untreated, syphilis may produce secondary mucous patches and a tertiary gumma (see Ch. 164 Neisseria gonorrhea produces burning ulcerations of the gingiva and tongue as well as pharyngitis. Cervicofacial actinomycosis (lumpy jaw) may resemble a fungal infection but is bacterial (see Actinomycosis in Ch. 157). Yellow ("sulfur") granules in purulent exudate are pathognomonic. Noma (gangrenous stomatitis) is a nonspecific, mainly fusospirochetal bacterial infection in which severe, even full-thickness, tissue destruction occurs in a debilitated person. It can be considered an extreme form of acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (see Ch. 106
