Why do the 'elite' love mercury?

[bicycle]

Its used in tooth fillings, vaccines, and probably other stuff that gets into the human body, so whats the deal with mercury:confused:

Probably because it's the second most dangerous substance known to man.

Plutonium I believe.

Edit: I just did a quick google and apparently science states that Dioxin is the most toxic substance known to man.

Dioxins are formed as a result of incomplete combustion of organic materials in the presence of chlorine. The burning of fuel in a car engine produces dioxins as well. Our civilization produces only several kilograms of dioxins a year in the whole world. However, even such a small amount of the highly dangerous poison is enough to exert considerable negative influence on mankind.

Dioxin is currently reputed to be the most dangerous toxic poison that has ever been made by the hands of man. It follows two poisons of natural origin: the botulism toxin and the diphtheria toxin. Dioxin is 60 thousand times more toxic than cyanide. A dose of only 50 micrograms of dioxin is lethal for a human being: the volume of the dose can be compared to a tiny microscopic piece of a 50-gram pill, cut into 1000 particles.

Modern science does not have enough knowledge of dioxin's toxic properties. There can be only several laboratories found on the territory of the former USSR, which can analyze dioxins. The poison affects human skin, deteriorates liver, stomach and ruins the nerve system. Dioxins are said to be strong carcinogens: scientists believe that the poison acts as an accelerating agent of cancer, the substance, which suppresses the human immune system, similar to AIDS virus. It is extremely difficult to remove dioxins from a living organism. Being lipophilic compounds, the poison accumulates in the adipose tissue and liver and may manifest its harmful effect in 15 or even 25 years.

Furthermore, dioxins possess a horrible ability to alter the genetic structure of a living cell, which may lead to congenital disorders and defects. There were several occurrences in the Soviet Union and other countries of the world, when dioxins polluted the environment as a result of industrial breakdowns. The most recent criminal story with dioxins occurred during the presidential election in Ukraine, when Viktor Yushchenko, the incumbent Ukrainian president, suffered from the dioxin poisoning.

I think it may be to do with 'repeated' treatments over time. Mercury in amalgam is a good example. A small bit of bad tooth is drilled out taking good tooth with it. Filled with amalgam. Affects Kidneys and many organs. Original problem now much bigger. Over time you have to keep going back to the Dentist as bits of tooth break apart, eventually removal may be needed. The drilling causes toxic mercury vapour to be inhaled. Doctors become involved due to the organ problems.

Its all a prescription for repeated medical intervention. Costs you and creates money for them.

Mercury sucks.... technically an amalgam is a "new" metal and the mercury should not leek, but it does.
