Are dental amalgam safe?

Mercury is a toxic metal and very dangerous to human health and the environment. The human body has no capacity to eliminate mercury that enters his body tissues and organs. Previously we did not know the dangerous effects of mercury poisoning in humans. So it was used in dental amalgams, in some disinfectant of wounds and as an adjuvant in vaccines. But now scientific research has given us to know that mercury poisoning causes neurological and degenerative brain diseases, decreases the capacity of memory and reasoning, helps to increase the severity of allergic and autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and may be related to the increased incidence of various types of cancer.
