Sweat Therapy

One of the primary modes of excretion of mercury is via" the skin through sweat. 
Therefore, saunas or stream baths are excellent. If your health permits, perspiration producing exercise will not only tone you up and burn off excess calories, but the sweating will help eliminate mercury.  Please see a doctor for a physical before engaging in a workout program.

The Politics

In 1987 the government of Sweden commissioned an "expert panel" to evaluate the available evidence regarding mercury filling safety. The panel concluded that mercury fillings were "unsuitable from a toxicological point of view." Based on this panel's advice, the Swedish Socialstyrelsen announced that steps would be taken to eliminate dental amalgam usage and recommended that comprehensive mercury filling treatment on pregnant women should be stopped to prevent mercury damageto the fetus. 1 Shortly thereafter, the German Ministry of Health (Bundesgesundheitsamt, BDA) issued a similar advisory. 2 In October of 1989, the Swedish Director of Chemical Inspection (KEMI), responsible for environmental protection, declared that amalgam would be banned. 3 In January of 1992, the German Ministry of Health (BDA) informed manufacturers of its intention to ban the production of amalgam. The BDA removed low copper non-gamma-2-amalgam from the market and published a pamphlet recommending avoiding mercury filling use in individuals with kidney disease, children to age 6, and pregnant women. In August of 1992, the Swedish government suggested a timetable to phase out mercury fillings. Environmental concerns were used as the official reason for amalgam discontinuation, but the government did acknowledge the toxicological risk to patients and stated that mercury fillings should no longer be used in children by July 1993, in adolescents to age-19 by July 1995, and in all Swedish citizens by 1997. The Austrian Minister of Health announced that the use of mercury fillings in children would be banned in 1996 and discontinued in all Austrians by the year 2000. In 1994, the Swedish Dental Association acknowledged that its leadership had previously been incorrect in their position regarding mercury filling safety. Other industrialized countries, for what ever reason, appear to be side stepping the issue. 

It should come as no surprise to find that recently, Health Canada has come out in support of the scientific research, Even after much political pressure from organized dentistry .
