OK, let's try this.

Amalgam is a metallic compound but because of the high resistance of
amalgam, it cannot truly be classified as a conductor. If a current of
any significance passed regularly through, or was generated by your
fillings, you'd feel heat. In fact, I'd imagine that they'd get rather
toasty in no time at all because of resistance levels of amalgam. As
far as magnetic or electromagnetic properties are concerned... Lousy
too. You can verify this by taking a magnet and trying to stick it to
one of your fillings (but please, send along a picture ;*> ).

What can happen: Underwater welders have been known to complain of
metallic taste in their mouths. This is because they're being exposed
to massive amounts of EM radiation from the welder. The taste of metal
is the 'canary in a coalmine effect' which affects a lot more than your
fillings. Studies show that long term exposure to EM radiation (such as
living under power lines) isnâ??t good for you either. Is the amalgam
the fault here? NO! Exposure to massive amounts of EM radiation is
dangerous and oneâ??s fillings are not the source.

FWIW, hereâ??s something for others to ponder on:

Iâ??m not going to convince you about anything and Iâ??m not really
trying to either. What worries me is that someone else living or
working in an environmentally detrimental situation will try to blame
the problem on their fillings. Thatâ??s just wrong.
