I must *promote the "real" story of the Mormons.

and in the role of a life time...
ROTFL

i actually feel much better now that I have nothing to worry about

doesn't she know that repeatedly pursing your lips like that will give you wrinkles early in life ?

damn that comment was funny!

the sound of the engine stopping sounds exactly like a censor beep.

way to stretch out a joke until it's not funny. I think I'll go watch Extraordinary Pilates

we were getting along so fine, until the chick flipped me off at 1:05 :-( that's not good for my self esteem.

Ah, your true colors are starting to show. previously you mentioned that "The vapor is most likely water." So I contacted the source to provide clairification to which you throw out a bunch of ad homs instead of addressing any "real" issue you might have with what was presented. You disingenuously claim I'm making an appeal to authority when in fact all i did was provide the explanation from the person who made the video.

Are you really that prideful when being corrected about something you've misinterpreted?

So let me get this straight. The FDA subverts science, loses in court and now has to acknowledge that mercury vapor from amalgams can be harmful and yet you label me an anti-amalgam loon? that is quite humorous seeing as I have the science and court victory on my side http://toxicteeth.org/mercuryFillings.cfm

oh, you might appreciate this video also

and have a great day yourself !

anyone have any suggestions as to how i can fix this ?

obscenesimian, I wanted to share with you the response I got in regards to the rising mercury vapor.

First, the reason the vapors are rising is due to the air current provided to make them do so. Otherwise they would fall and could not be visualized as easily. This is just good photography.

The reasons we know this is mercury vapor is the following:

1. What else could it be coming distinctly from the amalgam? Tin, Copper, silver and zinc do not vaporize into gases like mercury does.
2. Others say it is water but the amalgams are dry. Also, water does not absorb the UV light (a mercury vapor lamp) as does mercury vapor. In other words, water vapor does not absorb the UV light, if it did we could not do UV spectrometry in water solutions which is very common place in biochemical research.
3. In the class I taught at the University of Kentucky called “Mercury, Science and Politics” the students did the ‘smoking tooth’ experiment. While doing this they used the mercury vapor analyzer from the OSHA office to measure mercury levels in the mouths of each other (some with and some without amalgams). During the smoking tooth experiment the students were directed to place the intake of the mercury analyzer into the ‘smokey release’ and test it for mercury. There was absolutely no doubt, the meter on the mercury analyzer showed the vapor was mercury. Heat the amalgam and the amount of vapor visualized increased and the analyzer meter increased also.

hey jwray, any idea on how I can post this video ?

LOL. although quite small, the word itself on the avatar is in all CAPS.

your statement is true....one needs to take into account the actual levels of mercury.

from the abstract: The samples were found to contain levels of mercury ranging from below a detection limit of 0.005 to 0.570 micrograms mercury per gram of high fructose corn syrup. Average daily consumption of high fructose corn syrup is about 50 grams per person in the United States. With respect to total mercury exposure, it may be necessary to account for this source of mercury in the diet of children and sensitive populations.

this was one of two studies done on the subject. While I know the 2nd study found mercury in more products that contain HFCS, I'm not sure at what levels.

>> ^qruel:
Since we are talking about Mercury... here's some interesting facts...
Gold mines are the nation's largest source of mercury pollution. Like all mining, separating and processing the gold creates tons of toxic metals, like lead and mercury. Nevada is home to eight of the nation's top 10 mercury polluters. Here is a list of the top 100 Some other sources: Coal Fired Power Plants, Cement Kilns, Incinerators, Chlor-alkali Production, Chemical Plants.

In 2005 the FDA did a study that showed mercury in many food products that contained High Fructose Corn Syrup (due to mercury in the caustic soda and hydrochloric acid used in the manufacture of HFCS), and the FDA did absolutely nothing about it.


Presence of "detectable" levels is meaningless unless you name a specific concentration. Nearly everything will randomly contain at least 1 part in 10^20 of whichever stable element you want, which could be measured with a sufficiently accurate mass spectrometer.
