With special thanks to Michael Bender at Mercury Policy.
Mount the steeds! If we don’t, Canada might miss the battle altogether! . . . Seriously.
Spread the word to as many as you can. Here’s what’s happening on the Mercury Fillings Front:
- TODAY: the launch in the U.S. of a new study.
- At the last-minute, it was thought to involve Canadians; our network was called upon! I accepted on your behalf!!
- It’s part of an international effort to rid the world of mercury (“silver”) fillings.
- You will see in the Press release: Your teeth may be poisoning fish you eat!, the emphasis is on the Environment and the economics of mercury fillings, not on Health. The shift in emphasis is understandable.
- I sent individual invitations by email to the Minister (Don McMorris) and Deputy Minister (Dan Florizone) Provincial Dept Health, and to the Dental, Toxicology and Medical Faculties of the University to attend the “Mercury Jamboree”. None of them came. The presenters are experts.
- The people working on mercury poisoning for a very long time have faced stone walls when trying to work through Health-related bodies.
- International Negotiations: Canadians are largely in the dark. The 4th round of negotiations is in Uruguay at the end of June; the final round is Feb in Switzerland. The sense is that we might just be successful if we can all push hard enough. It’s mainly a matter of people realizing that the slow off-gasing of mercury in their mouth takes its toll over the years. Its effects are at the cellular level which means that there are inter-generational effects. And, of course, we are poisoning the rest of creation with what goes down the drain and into the air. Click on New study. On a full-cost basis amalgam is significantly more costly than composite.
- See “(2007) Cremation costs to rise as tooth fillings poison the living“. People who are cremated and have mercury fillings pay a higher fee because of the scrubbers that some countries now require at crematoriums.
- One of the worries in western countries: most of the baby boomers have mercury fillings, more people are being cremated, air-borne sources of mercury are going to substantially increase.
- The thing I like about working with this international effort – – if successful, it won’t be like asbestos where we save ourselves – – but ship the poison accompanied by a pile of propaganda to poor and naive people. They are as naive as we have been about mercury fillings (deceptively labeled “dental amalgam” or “silver” fillings).
- Things are coming down. There’s this launch today of yet more information. It’s not too difficult to predict that there will be court action as a consequence of the intransigence of the dental and medical professions, and Health Canada’s role in protecting the industry instead of fulfilling its responsibility to Canadian citizens. There is no excuse for “we didn’t know” in today’s world.
It is incomprehensible to me that they don’t comprehend: people are pretty angry when they discover that ‘silver” isn’t silver, and that their ill health is the consequence of slow poisoning by mercury, which almost all allopathic doctors fail to diagnose. It is especially galling when you know for how long it has been known that mercury fillings offgas .. slowly, continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, since they were installed in the mouth. You would be appalled by how much disease is nothing more than mercury poisoning, an overdose. In some cases, long, slow, suffering and then death. It’s not only disease, it’s also developmental and other problems.
- You are absolutely wrong if you think that mercury fillings are no longer in use. One of the people who came to the Mercury Jamboree had been at the College of Dentistry clinic the previous week. Students, under the supervision of professors, put mercury fillings in his mouth.
OKAY! Fire off those emails to everyone you can think of. We have the power through our networking to stop the use of mercury fillings.
NOTE: Some people are agreeing to a phased-in ban. I don’t.
- If there is “tainted beef”, it is pulled off store shelves immediately. Because the causal link can’t be ducked.
- At least one country, Norway, imposed an immediate ban with no phase-in.
- IF Dental Colleges had the will, they could re-train existing dentists immediately. I don’t know who would NOT want to be re-trained, not if you know the longterm health consequences of mercury fillings. And not when you know the trend-lines for disease and developmental problems. (Cancer rates have gone from 1 in 1000, to 1 in 500, to 1 in 50, to 1 in 10, to 1 in 3. Next comes 1 in 2. Whatever the medicare system is doing, it is a complete failure in terms of arresting and reversing disease trend lines. Cancer is just one example.) When you KNOW what mercury fillings do, how could anyone in good conscience put them in the mouth of anyone?
- The best way to get an immediate cessation is to pass this along to every person and organization you can think of. Including your dentist and doctor.
- For links to videos of the off-gasing, of the shrivelling up of neurons exposed to mercury, etc. the file of information is under “Categories” in the righthand sidebar. You’ll find it under “Health”.
Cheers!
