Sudden Infant Death: Infant Death Caused By Maternal Amalgam
Medicine: Discussion
Contribution to the article Epidemiology, Etiology, Pathophysiology and Differential Diagnostics by Private lecturer Dr. med. Thomas Bajanowski and Professor Dr. med. Christian Poets in Volume 47/2004
A Canadian medical examiner published in 1989 that he had found 2000 ppm of mercury in the respiratory centers of the brain stems in two infant corpses.
Keim (2) in 2000, confirmed in 93 infant corpses whose brains exceeded 7ng/g of mercury, a relative astrogliosis (damaged astrocytes) in the medulla oblongata which at high levels led to respiratory arrest.
Drasch (1) proved that the mercury concentrations in the brains of deceased newborns correlated with the number of the mothers´ amalgam fillings (ADHD).
As a result, the company Degussa ceased the manufacturing of dental amalgam in Germany because of possible damage claims.
For 15 years our Poison Emergency Call has therefore recommended the one-time inhalation of DMPS (dimercaptopropane sulfonate) for infants at the slightest suspicion of apnea for the purpose of lowering the mercury concentration in the brain stem. No more infants have died since. Before that we had found metal lesions in some of the children´s magnetic resonances (1).
We recommend an immediate DMPS injection to mothers whose infants died of SIDS, followed by an amalgam removal using triple protection. Children born after that were always symptom-free.
We have not heard of SIDS from those mothers who had their dental amalgam removed in time.
