Mercury & Alzheimer’s: What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You About Silver Fillings With Anita Vazquez-Tibau

from Alzheimer’s Breakthrough with Dr. Josh Helman, MD

Could the silver fillings in your mouth be damaging your brain? In today’s episode, I interview Anita Vazquez-Tibau, an international advocate and researcher dedicated to ending the global use of toxic mercury in dentistry. Together, we dive into the shocking truth about dental amalgam fillings, which contain up to 54% mercury, a known neurotoxin.I was astounded to learn that despite the risks, the American Dental Association still claims that these fillings are safe. Anita explains how mercury not only poses a risk to your brain health but can also lead to neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s. We also discuss the global fight against mercury dental fillings, the Minamata Convention, and what you can do to protect your health if you have mercury fillings.If you or someone you love is dealing with cognitive decline, this episode could be an eye-opener.“The key is to have a good biological dentist who knows how to do oral surgery. Clean out everything and just say: Stop there. I don’t want an implant. I would like a removable appliance.” ~ Anita Vazquez -Tibau (How to Protect Yourself from Toxic Dental Implants)In this Episode00:00 - Introduction to Anita Vazquez -Tibau04:42 - Why the ADA still claims mercury fillings are safe07:32 - The Minamata Convention and mercury regulation20:19 - Mercury connection in Alzheimer’s and neurodegeneration28:33 - The dangers of some dental procedures38:42 - Detoxification, biocompatibility testing, and safe removal of mercury fillings50:52 - Other sources of mercury that we may not be aware of59:42 - Early signs of mercury exposure1:04:31 - Why some industries still use mercury despite the risks1:08:03 - The risks of getting titanium implants1:13:32 - What to do next if you have mercury implantsResources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguideMentioned in this episode:- This is an extremely important video on mercury and brain neurodegeneration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU8nSn5Ezd8- The Smoking Tooth video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0QJWqtl6AI- Citizen Petition - https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2025-P-2526-0001- ANITA’s UNITED NATIONS CLOSING REMARKS MINAMATA CONVENTION COP6 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImoXCCAapXo- Book link, CHEW ON THIS - https://www.amazon.com/Chew-this-but-dont-swallow/dp/B09PZR2TQK/Connect with Anita Vazquez -Tibau: - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-vazquez-tibau-6a85633/- Email - [email protected] with Dr. Josh Helman, MD:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctorjosh- TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@greenbrainsmd- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUMtFP2icmNEhOaSsd-CrSg?sub_confirmation=1- Others - https://linktr.ee/greenbrainsmdDisclaimer: Please remember that this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
