Senate Bill 3 has is a top priority for high ranking Senators. And it s popular because it contains a provision increasing the death benefit for soldiers killed in combat from $12,000 to $100,000.
But, if passed, S. 3 will have far-reaching consequences and significantly undermine your health rights on many fronts: It will:
1) nullify any state laws related to the regulation of drugs and vaccines – thereby overturning existing laws banning mercury in vaccines and prohibiting any future state laws regulating drugs.
2) bar states from warning their citizens about drug or vaccine safety issues if that warning is different than any federal information.
3) gift drug and vaccine makers with a financial windfall through millions of dollars of grants and tax credits, fast-tracking vaccine approval, extension of patents and comprenensive liability protection.
4) invade health privacy by establishing a national electronic surveillance program to collect and analyze a wide-range of your health data, including all data relating to “diseases, including vital records, registries, chronic diseases and maternal and child health data”

Senate Bill 3 has widespread support – partly because it also includes a popular provision to increase from $12,000 to $100,000 death benefits given to families of soldiers and servicemembers killed combat – a provision Members of Congress find hard to vote against.

Take Action Now – send a letter to Congress and urge them to oppose Senate Bill 3
This is a critical alert. If allowed to pass – this bill will have far-reaching consequences.
You will not be able to turn to the states for health protection and warnings when the federal government is not listening. Mercury in vaccines is one important example where the federal government isn’t listening to individuals or the science. Consumers have already successfully passed bans on mercury in vaccines in Iowa and California and bills are pending in at least seven other states. Recent information about the dangers of Vioxx and other drugs make highlight the importance of having as many possible sources of information and recourse available to consumers. (see www.nomercury.org and http://www.909shot.com/ActionAlerts/S3Article.htm to learn more)
Health privacy is a fundamental right and the national electronic surveillance system created in this bill, on top of other privacy gutting bills already enacted (see www.medicalprivacycoalition.org) make it impossible for you to keep the details of your health records private. Consumers will be wary of seeking medical attention if they do not trust their information will remain private – and this information in the wrong hands could jeopardize careers and health coverage, for example.
URGENT – Take Action Today. Support your health rights, your health privacy, full access to information and accountability for drug companies.
It is no secret that the pharmaceutical industry is the largest contributor to Congress and that there are almost two drug company lobbyists for every Member of Congress. This bill has the support of and is a major priority of some of the highest ranking and most influential Senators. The only way we will defeat this bill and sustain our health rights is if you and all of your friends, neighbors, family and colleagues take action today!

The American Dental Association is the assignee to patents for dental amalgam containing mercury:
US Pat. 4,018,600 Waterstrat April 19, 1977
US Pat. 4,078,921 Waterstrat March 14 1978

Another rabbit hole ahead, hold on to your hat, Alice!! It will only take you a few hours on the Internet to discover that this is a very volatile issue, and the lines in the sand have been drawn. It is clear that there are millions of citations about this topic.

As you begin to do your research on this troubling topic, be a good investigator and "Follow The Money"! Find out: who profits from the information you are reading on the internet?--who paid for the information to be disseminated?--who paid for the research you are reading?--where does the money go? The results of this inquiry should help to guide you as to what you should believe and how you will decide for the health of yourself and the members of your family in regard to mercury, metals and dental care.

This topic has been researched from just about every viewpoint. I finally had to realize that there are just too many citations about mercury and your health/illness available on the Internet and had to quit putting them here. You will obviously get the idea from the number of Doctors, Dentists, etc. who are cited here that mercury is a problem, and having it in your mouth/body makes it your problem. Are you sick and tired of being Sick and Tired, are you taking a myriad of pharmaceutical drugs--but not getting well? Then we suggest that you switch to a dentist who refuses to use mercury and get the metal out of your mouth!! Locate a metal-free / mercury-free dentist and take the first step toward wellness.

Do your own research on the internet and read journal literature. You too will discover that when dental amalgams (mercury fillings) and all metals were removed from their mouths, loved ones who suffer from the following disease began to regain their health--

Good luck with your research into this troubling topic.

"Dr. (Joe) Mercola's Comment:
It really does appear that the only way some positive action is going to occur in this area will be through the courts.
With the lawsuits starting to mount up, it does appear that it is the beginning of the end for the traditional dental paradigm that continues to support the delusion that there is absolutely no danger from mercury amalgam fillings." http://www.mercola.com/2001/jun/27/mercury_fillings.htm

We have known since July 2004 that Michael had a brother--Richard Allen--who died when Michael was three years old. We just learned (January 2005) why Richard Allen Blair, age two months, died on Thanksgiving Day, 1954. He received his baby vaccinations on Wednesday--the day before he died. Richard Allen Blair, dead at two months old, died as a result of his mercury-laced-baby-vaccinations. Mercury salts (Thimerosol) was, and continues to be added to all vaccines administered to unwitting, uninformed babies, children, adolescents and adults--without the benefit of informed consent.

We conducted a ton of research and realized that mercury (called "silver" or metal fillings or dental amalgam--many words for what it actually is--mercury fillings) was one of the biggest blocks to Michael's wellness program. What quickly killed his baby brother in 1954 has slowly been poisoning Michael to death.
In starting on the journey of dental cleanup we returned, again, to the works of Dr. Hulda Regher Clark. Dental Clanup "Protocol" We ultimately travelled to the American Bio Dental Center (located in Tijuana--Baja California, Mexico) to remove and replace all metal from Michael's mouth (including tooth extraction for the one root canal and remove/replace all mercury fillings) in April, 2004. See the photos. I got mine done in June 2004.

You may be one of millions who have mercury fillings in your mouth. "Prescribe for Yourself – You Must Learn To Be Your Own Best Doctor. Eight amalgams in a single mouth can release 3–17 mcg of mercury per day. 1 mcg of mercury contains 120,827,403,000,000,000,000 atoms. Each mercury atom can potentially destroy a nerve cell or lymphocyte blood cell. Lymphocytes are the "back-bone" of our body's immune system." Dr. Klinghardt, M.D., Phd. http://www.luminet.net/~wenonah/new/9steps.htm

It is well documented elsewhere on the internet that one single, average sized dental mercury filling is sufficient to poison a 10-acre lake to the point that health authorities will cordone it off. What do you think is happening to your brain, situated less than an inch away from your mouth--separated by the thin, permeable membranes in your mouth???

So, you have done your research and have decided not to work with just any dentist, particularly you have chosen not to work with any dentist who places mercury in a client's mouth. You know that your dentist puts mercury fillings in client's mouths and you won't be able to change their mind. You then decide that you want to work with a "Biological Dentist" or a "Mercury Free Dentist", visit the various websites to find an enlightened dentist near you.

How do you chose a dentist? Maybe the following checklist will help you in the decision making process. Print a copy of the checklist, phone potential dentists and ask them the questions. Be sure to pay attention to how you are treated by the receptionist while you are asking the questions. Are they open? guarded? quarrlesome? "put off" by your questions? That attitude may give you a clue as to the level of service you're going to get from the dental office. As of this writing, you still have the right to choose who you will get dental service from.

Much of the information suggested by the "Dental Practitioner Checklist" was excerpted from the works of Dr. Frank Jerome, D.D.S. (mercury-free / metal-free dentistry) and Dr. Hulda Regeher Clark, Ph.D., N.D.--the ranking and point system was purely my concoction [smile].

In making up this table, I presumed that: "no tooth is worth saving if in saving it your immune system is damaged / compromised"; even if you do not need all of these services at first, a good practitioner will answer all the questions correctly.

"Ninety percent or more of dental offices will not be able to answer ANY of the questions correctly. If you allow your dental work to be done by a dentist who does not understand the importance of these questions, you could end up with new problems. Find the right dentist first, even if you must travel hundreds of miles. There are 6,000 to 10,000 dentists who should be able to help. Some can do part of the work and refer you to a specialist for the rest. Five hundred to one thousand of these dentists can do it all." Excerpted from "Cure For All Diseases", Dr. Hulda Regeher Clark, M.D., N.D. page 411.

DENTAL PRACTITIONER CHECKLIST
CRITERION	+ / - POINT VALUE	TOTAL POINTS
Will/Does the dentist.....
belong to the American Dental Association (ADA)? Negative points are awarded if "yes" because the ADA doggedly endorses/forces the use of Mercury amalgams. They just about have to since they own two patents on dental mercury amalgam fillings. I spoke to a East Coast Dentist who said that the only reason why he did not publicly withdraw from the ADA (because it continues to endorse/force the use of mercury in the dental practice) was that he would come under negative scrutiny--so close to his retirement age, and that some patients would have to go elsewhere because without the ADA endorsement he would not be able to provide service to some dental insured groups. You may choose to work with this dentist, despite the ADA membership, if the next questions are answered correctly. If not, consider choosing a different dentist.	1,500 Deduct 1,500 points if "yes", add 1,500 points if "no"
provide a complete all-in-one panoramic mouth X-ray? If the dentist you chose to do your work will not do this, ask for a referral to a place that will. This step is critical. Full Mouth Panoramic X-rays are the only way you can see the entire jaw and sinuses, impacted teeth, root fragments, "tattoos" (bits of mercury in the gums), deep infections, cavitations. The typical "full mouth set" of tiny, single teeth X-rays is just not acceptable because they can not show everything you must see to do a good evaluation.	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
"place/install" mercury (AKA silver or amalgam) fillings*? Negative points are awarded because the dentist clearly has not realized that placing mercury amalgam fillings is placing the most deadly of neurtoxins one inch from your brain. Consider choosing a different dentist.	2,000 Deduct 2,000 points if "yes", add 2,000 points if "no"
do root canals (or whatever fancy name they use for the same procedure)? Negative points are awarded if "yes" because the dentist does not understand that driving a metal rod through your tooth and into your jaw bone may set you up for a life-time of poor health related issues.	2,000 Deduct 2,000 points if "yes", add 2,000 points if "no"
do crowns? Dentists may recommend crowning teeth to "protect/strengthen" them. Just say "NO!" When the enamel is removed to do this procedure, permanent and serious damage is done to the tooth. Up to 20% of teeth that get "crowned" may subsequently die and then have to be extracted. Do not get any new crowns--but replace any existing metal crowns with plastic.	2,000 Deduct 2,000 points if "yes", add 2,000 points if "no"
remove amalgam "tattoos". If the dentist you chose to do your work will not do this, ask for a referral to a place that will. This step is critical. Tattoos are small bits of mercury, lodged in gum tissue left there by the dentist you last paid to have mercury put in your mouth)	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
surgically treat/clean cavitations? If the dentist you chose does not do this work, they may refer you out to one that does. This step is critical. Be sure to inquire about a referral. The complete name of "cavitations" is Alveolar Cavitational Osteopathosis. They are holes (cavities) left in the jawbone when your dentist did not completely extract a tooth from that place. An extraction site that was properly cleaned will heal and fill with bone. You want to chose a dentist who will completely clean the socket of tissue remnants or infected bone. If they don't you will most likely be left with a dry/infected socket that might never fully heal. Thirty years later--a cavitation could still be there at the extraction site. This is a form of osteomyelitis or bone disease.	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
remove ALL metal from the mouth (root canals, mercury/metal fillings, crowns, plastic material which has metal in it)? This kind of practitioner is known as a "metal free/mercury free" dentist. Metal does not belong in your body. It is an unnatural chemical.	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
"test" your body's compatibility to all dental materials proposed to be placed in your mouth? Various methods are used to ensure that what is put in the mouth to replace the mercury/metal is compatible to you--won't just create a new set of problems for you. Methods include: Lab testing through "Biocompatibility testing" (hair, urine, blood samples are tested--some money but worth the future of your mouth), Muscle Testing (a method of testing your Autonomic Nervous System). If "yes" find out which method is employed	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
replace mercury amalgam/metal fillings with metal-free plastic (barium-free composite materials)? Throughout this checklist, the reference made to "metal-free plastic" refers to plastic that is free from lanthanide (Rare Earth) metals commonly found in dental plastics. The effects of these metals on the body has not been studied, but their cancer-causing ability is known. Thallium and ytterbium are known for their tumor-seeking ability	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
use Duralon tm for temporary fillings?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
replace inlays and onlays with metal-free plastic?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
place temporary metal-free plastic crowns?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
replace all metal crowns with metal-free plastic crowns?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
replace bridges with metal-free plastic crowns and partials?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
replace metal partials with metal-free plastic partials (Flexlite tm)? [NOT PINK which comes from mercury or from cadmium added to the plastic. Cadmium is five times as toxic as lead and is strongly linked to high blood pressure.] If you are replacing a large metal bridge, it cannot be replaced with a plastic bridge--it won't be strong enough. A large bridge should be replaced with a removable Flexlite tm partial	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
replace pink dentures with clear metal-free plastic--specifically Methyl Methacrylate? [NOT PINK!!which comes from mercury or from cadmium added to the plastic]	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
replace porcelain denture teeth with metal-free plastic denture teeth? Porcelain is aluminum oxide with other metals added to it to get different colors (shades). The metal does NOT come out of the porcelain, so, porcelain is NOT recommended.	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
pull badly damaged teeth?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
pull "root canaled" teeth?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"
avoid braces and implants?	1,000 Add 1,000 points if "yes", deduct 1,000 points if "no"

"Occasionally, thallium and germanium are found together in mercury amalgam tooth fillings. Thallium causes leg pain, leg weakness and paraplegia. If you are in a wheelchair without a very reliable diagnosis, have all the metal removed from your mouth. Ask the dentist to give you the grindings. Try to have them analyzed for thallium using the most sensitive methods available, possibly at a research institute or university. I was astonished to find thallium in mercury amalgams! It couldn't be put there intentionally, look how toxic it is:".... [quote from Clark's "The Cure for All Diseases" p. 417]

Lawsuits are already springing up around the United States against the American Dental Association and state and local Dental Associations. It is not hard to find them on the Internet--like this one in California

Similar lawsuits have been filed in federal court in Maryland by dentists and patients, while state legislatures in New York and Maine are considering bills that would require dentists to disclose to patients the makeup of their fillings.

Maine Mandates Mercury Disclosure by Dentists
Charles Brown, attorney for the national organization: Consumers for Dental Choice was quoted as saying: "The public is being deceived by the terminology used for these fillings," said Charles Brown in his remarks. "The ADA calls them "silver" fillings, but they are really MERCURY fillings. If people knew the principal ingredient is mercury they would not want these fillings in their teeth." (Maine's then) Governor. King compared the current use of mercury in dental fillings with the 1950's use in shoe stores of powerful x-ray machines called fluoroscopes, which exposed hundreds of thousands of adults and children to high doses of toxic x-rays. "Every child who went into the shoe store to buy new shoes would put his feet into the fluoroscope so the bones could be seen," King recalled. "People who worked in the store were exposed to the radiation all day; children played games around the machine. Now we realize it was a terrible thing to do, but then it seemed perfectly normal. Some day we will wonder how we could ever have put such a toxic substance into the human mouth." http://www.alkalizeforhealth.net/Lmercury3.htm

Source: ToxicTeeth.org The Gag Rule
May 31, 2004
Charles Brown, attorney for the national organization: Consumers for Dental Choice
Attacking ADA Gag Rule in Every Region of USA
Dear friends,
The ADA’s efforts to protect Mercury fillings by shackling dentists are collapsing. Dental boards are backing off and are not bringing any more cases to stifle dentist’s Free Speech, while we are on the offensive -- attacking the ADA’s notorious Gag Rule in every region of the nation.
The Gag Rule is a pillar of the ADA’s agenda to block consumers from learning that the major component of amalgam is Mercury. The Gag Rule instructs dentists to abandon their allegiance to patient health care -- to remain silent or face disciplinary action.

This Friday, June 4, the Minnesota Dental Board will have a public hearing on a from Consumers for Dental Choice, (http://www.toxicteeth.org) one joined by IAOMT and local consumers Mary Puff and Nancy Hokkanen. With DAMS Executive Director Leo Cashman coordinating the effort, we are presenting speakers from dentistry (Dr. Jim Carlson), nursing (Eugenia McGrath), and consumer activists like Kip Sullivan and Bob Asher.
The petition seeks the end of the gag rule – which has already been condemned by the state Attorney General – and the start of the process to write a fact sheet, as Maine and California have done. The state’s largest-circulation newspaper, the Star Tribune, is covering this event. (Article attached: note the headline referring to Mercury Fillings!)
This follows the coverage on WCCO Channel 4 TV in Minneapolis - St Paul last Wednesday on dental mercury. The Channel 4 news team traveled to Lexington, Kentucky, to interview chemistry professor Boyd Haley, who has written extensively on mercury and its toxicological effects. Haley did a mercury vapor demonstration after brushing a child’s amalgam-filled teeth 15 times with a toothbrush. The mercury vapor level was so high that it pegged the meter. All of this was captured by the TV cameras.

In our high-stakes case of before the California Supreme Court, Shawn Khorrami and his associate Matt Bailey are completing the final round of briefs. The case, Kids Against Pollution v. California Dental Association, may decide whether organized dentistry is allowed to maintain this “rule of conduct” to stop dentists from talking to the public or their patients about mercury’s toxicity. Shawn will argue the case before the High Court later this year, assisted by our team of Matt plus Editor Mike McClory and Supreme Court specialist attorney Daniel Smith.
Spearheaded by Anita Vazquez Tibau, our effort gathered an amazing 27 friends-of-the-court, covering seven briefs, in support of our cause. They included faith-based groups (L. A. Council of Churches, Calif. Churches Impact, Regeneration Project of the Episcopal Church), children’s advocacy (Our Children’s Earth), health care and dentistry (Calif. Nurses Assoc., Council of Black Nurses, Physicians for Social Responsibility, IAOMT, H.D.A.), environment (WaterKeepers, Clean Water Action, Mercury Policy Project, Center for Environmental Health), alternative health groups (Frank Cuny’s Calif. Citizens for Health Freedom, National Foundation for Alternative Medicine), Native American groups (Native Voices Foundation, White Thunder Medicine School), the state trial lawyers (Consumer Attorneys of California), and two state lawmakers (Karen Johnson, R-Ariz., and John Rogers, D-Ala.).

The Connecticut chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union took up Dr. Mark Breiner’s case, after the dental board tried to stop Mark from writing editorials against Mercury Fillings in the local newspaper! The case is in federal court, so its impact could go far beyond Connecticut. The First Amendment expert with the Connecticut Civil Liberties Union, Professor Martin Margulies, says it’s hard to imagine a clearer case on the right of free speech. (Attached: Article from Hartford Courant , the state’s largest newspaper)
SOUTH
In a brazen attempt to stop patients from learning about Mercury fillings, the Alabama dental board sued Huntsville dentist Dr. Ada Frazier simply for advertising that she is a mercury-free dentist. After her lawyer, Bubba Grimsley, mounted a vigorous defense, the dental board put the case on hold. Meanwhile, federal and state African-American lawmakers have raised concerns about this effort to single out Dr. Frazier and deprive her of her Constitutional right to advertise what kind of dentistry she does.
The Mercury Fillings issue is also getting substantial debate in Alabama. Attached: article in Birmingham News, once again, the state’s largest newspaper. The story went nationwide, such as to Ohio’s major newspaper, the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
We believe the case against Dr. Frazier will be the last any dental board, acting as proxy for the ADA, will attempt. As we are showing in Alabama and Connecticut, now it’s the dental board – not the mercury-free dentist – who is losing ground!

Another great website about Mercury Dental Amalgams

I have read hundreds of web pages devoted to this debacle, and have read various books on the topic of mercury in fillings. It is clear to me that Michael and I needed to get the mercury out of our mouths, but there are dangers in removal--one single bit of this substance, inadvertently going through Michael's system could spell disaster to his already ailing immune system and liver. He has survived to date, I don't chose to jeopordize our current success.

These citations are great and literally led to my research!!:

"Dental Fillings" "Amalgam fillings contain more mercury than silver. In fact, they contain at least 50 percent mercury, which is the most toxic of the heavy metals. It interferes with many biochemical pathways within the body, and is even more dangerous when present in combination with other toxins. The brain is the most susceptible organ to mercury toxicity. Other tissues can increase their levels of glutathione, which helps bind mercury, but the brain cannot increase its levels of glutathione. This means that mercury builds up in the brain. People with a tendency to neurological disease should be made especially aware of this. Despite having better protection, other organs such the kidneys and liver are also very susceptible to its toxicity. Oral mercury levels dramatically increase when chewing gum or food, and when the fillings heat up while eating or drinking hot food. Some dentists use a meter to measure the electrical charge of each filling to try to determine how harmful they are to a patient’s health. They recommend that fillings with high readings be promptly removed. Other dentists have a mercury "sniffer" that measures the level of mercury vapor in the mouth. An effective way to treat mercury toxicity is to have the fillings replaced with mercury-free materials. It is important to begin a chelation program before filling removal, and then to continue the program after removal. This is important to bind heavy metals in the body to allow their excretion. Without starting a chelation program, one can have very high levels of mercury in the body as it is released during mercury removal. Pregnant women should avoid dental work for this reason. ... Join the international movement to ban mercury fillings. We cannot look for leadership from the American Dental Association (ADA) on this issue. The ADA was founded at the turn of the century as a lobbying group to promote mercury fillings. They have blocked progress toward eliminating the use of mercury in dentistry up to the present day. It would be worthwhile to provide information to your dentist if your dentist uses mercury, and to recommend that she/he helps the ADA re-evaluate their position. Many holistic practitioners argue that it is unconscionable for dentists to use mercury with the availability of information on its risks. It is already illegal to place mercury in teeth in Sweden and in Germany, and other European countries are quickly catching up. I have seen too many people with cancer in whom mercury fillings were probably a contributing cause. I recommend that most people have their mercury removed, especially if you are mercury-sensitive." http://www.drruhland.com/06.html

World Health Organization. Elemental Mercury and Inorganic Mercury Compounds: Human Health Aspects" "...The highest concentrations of mercury are found in the liver and kidney, with successively smaller amounts being sequestered in the muscle and brain. For more than a century and a half, silver/mercury amalgam fillings have been used in dental practice as the preferred tooth filling material. Such amalgams contain approximately 50% elemental mercury. Human studies and experiments in laboratory animals indicate that dental amalgam contributes significatly to mercury body burden in humans who have amalgam fillings (IPCS, 1991; US DHHS, 1993; Weiner & Nylander, 1995; Health Canada, 1997). Levels of mercury release for various dental procedures have been reported by Eley (1997). Mercury released from amalgam fillings can take several forms: elemental mercury vapour, metallic ions, and/or fine particles (IPCS, 1991). Of the mercury vapour, some is exhaled, some is inhaled into the lungs and absorbed into the blood, some is retained in the vapour form in the saliva and swallowed together with amalgam particles, and some is oxidized to an ionic form and spit from the mouth or swallowed. Of that portion swallowed, only a small fraction would be expectd to be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract." ...

Lohyn, Roman, Dr. President, Australasian Society of Oral Medicine and Toxicology )ASOMAT "Dental Amalgams and Mercury in Dentistry" " ...I am the current president of ASOMAT (Australasian Society of Oral Medicine and Toxicology) which was formed in Jan 1994 precisely because of this issue. Our members, primarily dentists and medical doctors, believe that the use of dental amalgam fillings is incompatible with sound preventive health care because of the continuous release of mercury from these fillings. We are affiliated with International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), which was formed fourteen years ago for the same reason as ASOMAT. IAOMT has demonstrated its concern by funding research in this area, the most recent showing the transfer of mercury from amalgam fillings through maternal breast milk to neonates. The goals of our society are to educate the dental and medical professions and to be a source of current information regarding the various research being done. So far we have staged three 2-day conferences with a fourth on the drawing board. We believe that there needs to be an official recommendation that amalgam fillings not be placed in the mouths of pregnant women or very young children. You may be interested to know that the German and Norwegian Health Authorities have made exactly such recommendations to their own dental professions. Canada Health, in the wake of the recent Richardson report which recommended a maximum of 4 amalgams for adults, three for teenagers and one for young children and toddlers, has made a similar statement, as well as recommending that people with kidney, immunological or neurological problems consider alternative materials for their fillings, because of their particular concerns about mercury exposure. No advice has been given, nor discussion taken place about such particular cases within any Australian Dental Association publication with the result that virtually no dentist in Australia is even aware that patients in those situations might find it prudent to consider alternatives. There is also evidence of health problems within the dental profession itself as a result of mercury exposure... "2

Mercury Policy Project. "New at MercuryPolicy.org" 10/8/03 As the American Dental Association prepares to testify before a U.S. Congressional committee today on dental mercury, advocates released a confidential document showing the Association's continuing intent to undermine efforts to reduce dental mercury pollution and human exposure from mercury fillings . "It is like pulling teeth to get ADA to support efforts to reduce mercury pollution and unnecessary use, even though dentists are the number one contributor of mercury to the nation's wastewater and still one of the largest mercury user in the U.S. today," said Michael Bender, director of the Mercury Policy Project (see press release ). Meanwhile, the latest Centers for Disease Control data indicate that 8 percent of US women of childbearing age have mercury levels so high that their developing babies are at risk of neurological damage." ADA has submitted a confidential document to EPA that, in essence, argues that reducing dental mercury pollution through installation of amalgam separators--which can capture between 95% to 99% of the dental mercury particles--is not cost effective or necessary. In the document, ADA urges EPA to issue guidance practically devoid of amalgam separators, that would recommend "Only voluntary BMP's (Best Management Practice) unless environmental conditions or state law require mercury reductions."

Vimy, Murray J. "Mercury Usage in Canadian Denstistry: Part 1: Critical Questions About the Politics And The Propaganda" " ... Ironically today, 183 years later and without scientific justification, many national dental associations have amended their Codes of Ethics making the removal of serviceable mercury fillings an issue of unethical conduct when the reason for removal is to eliminate a toxic material from the human body; and if this recommendation is made solely by the dentist. In their view, a dentist is "ethical" if he places the mercury material and recommends its safety. But, if the dentist suggests that the mercury fillings are potentially harmful or that exposure to unnecessary mercury can result, then the dentist is acting "unethically". Dentists can remove mercury fillings upon a patient's request or under the prescription of a physician. This relegates the dentist into the role of a mere technician - a tooth carpenter.
The amalgam debates, amalgam wars as they are referred to in dental historical writings, had little to do with science and everything to do with politics.

Washington State Dental Association. News & Information. WSDA's 2002 Legislative Agenda Regulation of Dental Amalgam As a Source of Mercury Waste. WSDA's position: WSDA supports scientifically valid policies to reduce dental amalgam discharges. WSDA encourages dental offices to install amalgam separators and follow best management practices for disposal and recycling of amalgam through a voluntary compliance program. Background: WSDA has worked to revise the state's draft Mercury Chemical Action Plan to include a voluntary compliance program in a partnership between government and dentistry to reduce amalgam waste. WSDA does not support a regulatory requirement for separators, as their effectiveness will vary depending on office practices and configuration of wastewater systems. Dentistry accounts for only a tiny fraction (0.4 percent, according to the EPA) of total discharged mercury waste. WSDA urges the state to examine what actions it can take to reduce mercury pollution from major sources, such as domestic and foreign utility plants, which account for more than 75 percent of mercury discharges.

Wholistic Research Company. Health Issues in the News. "Good News: California Requires Dentists to Disclose Dangers of Mercury And Other Dental Materials." January 2003. California Judge Approves Landmark Warning on Mercury Use in Dentistry. (San Francisco, CA) - For the first time anywhere, dentists will be required to post a warning about the dangers of mercury in their dental fillings. A California Superior court judge finalized the language for the warning to be posted in dentists' offices here today. The warning will read as follows: Notice to Patients, Proposition 65: Warning on dental amalgams, used in many dental fillings, causes exposure to mercury, a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Root canal treatments and restorations including fillings, crowns and bridges, use chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has studied the situation and approved for use all dental restorative materials. Consult your dentist to determine which materials are appropriate for your treatment. The exact language of the warning was argued and then finalized before Superior Court Judge James A. Robertson II between the California Dental Association, the largest constituent organization of the American Dental Association and Attorney Shawn Khorrami (Cor-ahm-mee). The agreement requires its member dentists to warn patients about the toxic dangers of mercury dental fillings and root canals. The agreement also allows non-CDA dentists to opt in to the agreement and post the warning. The warning is the result of a lawsuit filed by The Law Offices of Shawn Khorrami on behalf of As You Sow, a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to advocacy and activism in the public interest. This is the first admission by organized dentistry that amalgams pose a potential health risk," says Shawn Khorrami, lead attorney. "The only problem is that it's about 100 years too late" This California consent judgment follows on the heels of recent lawsuits filed in Georgia, Texas, Ohio and Los Angeles, California charging that mercury fillings placed in a woman's mouth contributed to the autism of her child, as well as lawsuits in Maryland, California, and New York charging the American Dental Association with misrepresenting amalgam dental fillings as "silver"; The lawsuits basically allege that such fillings actually contain approximately 50% mercury by weight. They cause continuous, daily exposure to mercury and, thereby pose substantial health risks to certain users. Mercury, a highly toxic substance, is the most widely used substance in dental fillings today.

"Sometime this month, the government of Norway will release for public comment the recommendation that dentists no longer use dental amalgam. That's the word from Liljan Aandahl, senior advisor to the Norwegian Directorate for Health and Social Welfare. The public will have three months to respond to the proposal, which could be enacted Jan. 1, 2003.
The Norway recommendation is among the most recent actions on amalgam by any government. In 1997, the World Health Organization hosted a conference titled "Dental Amalgam and its Alternatives," which included government officials, academics and representatives of professional organizations from New Zealand, France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Finland, England and the United States.
The participants unanimously endorsed a consensus statement that reads, in part, "Dental amalgam restorations are considered safe, but components of amalgam and other dental restorative materials may, in rare instances, cause local side-effects or allergic reactions. The small amount of mercury released from amalgam restorations, especially during placement and removal, has not been shown to cause any other adverse health effects."

The truth is told in under 135 easy to read pages with an additional 55 pages of Appendix documentation. Almost every chapter ends with a Summary of the information discussed in the chapter. It details the who, what, where, when, how and why of this controversial subject. It suggests physiological and neurological symptoms of mercury toxicity, tests to determine if you are mercury toxic and correct procedures to detoxify. There are even lists of dentists knowledgeable about the safe removal of mercury fillings and physicians who know how to treat mercury toxicity. This book is a must read for anyone suffering from unexplainable depression, dizziness, headaches, irritability, lack of concentration, memory lapses, nervousness, allergies, gingivitis, fatigue, gastrointestinal illnesses, high blood pressure or kidney problems. Available from Quicksilver Press (212) 423-3074 and also on line.

Angel's Opinion: This book is well organized, easy to read and easy to understand. Upon completion you have a very good idea of what to do if you think you may be toxic and more importantly, how to go about correcting the problem. It discusses the dangers of removing all your fillings in a short time frame and precautions your dentist should take to prevent you from inhaling the mercury vapors caused by drilling. Anyone with silver fillings would benefit from reading this book. Michael C. Goldman DDS has a very good web site dealing with a variety of dental topics, including a detoxification protocol you can bring to your dentist for safe removal of your mercury fillings."

Bringing Science and Law Together to Create Intelligent Policy
The National Institute for Science, Law, and Public Policy (NISLAPP) was founded in 1978 to bridge the gap between scientific uncertainties and the need for laws protecting public health and safety. Its overriding objective is to bring practitioners of science and law together to develop intelligent policy that best serves all interested parties in a given controversy. Its focus is on the points at which these two disciplines converge.
