Dear Minister McMorris and Deputy Dan Florizone,
Please consider participation in the Citizens’ Assembly, the Mercury Jamboree, March 30- 31, University of Saskatchewan, Room 146 Arts Bldg. (Programme below, includes the presenters).
The Federal Government (two departments working together, Environment and Health) decided to exempt dental amalgam from the new regulations on products that contain mercury.
Mercury is deadly.
Dental amalgams (“silver fillings”) are 50% mercury, the largest single source of mercury.
People who know what SLOW POISONING through mercury off-gasing in the mouth can do want others to know. To spare them from potential and completely unnecessary suffering.
The mercury also flows from dental offices, down the sewer line into our water supplies.
Diseases associated with mercury poisoning range from alzheimers to MS, and everything in between, cutting a wide swath.
Cancer now affects 1 in 3 people (next it will be 1 in 2); MS and Parkinsons rates are high and so on.
We are taking matters into our own hands.
Please view this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylnQ-T7oiA
OUR ACTION:
- A “How to” Citizens’ Assembly in Saskatoon March 30-31.
- Which we’ll videotape – And then post to the internet, FOR EVERYONE to use.
The programme appears below. PLEASE spread the word. Even if you can’t come, it’s important that people know about mercury fillings, and about the work to stop the use. It is ONE, easy-to-do and large, “ STOP THE CAUSE!” of disease.
Information collected by our network on mercury in dental amalgams is posted at www.sandrafinley.ca under the Category “Health”.
Thank-you for your consideration,
Best wishes, . .

APPENDED FYI
Mercury from dental amalgams crosses the placental barrier; it is in Mothers’ breast milk. Mercury is related to developmental problems, cognitive functioning, various diseases.
Environment Canada is developing regulations aimed at getting rid of products that contain mercury.
The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) made a submission to Environment Canada, as part of the public consultation process. The IAOMT submission points out that the single largest exposure to mercury is through dental amalgams.
If the Government exempts amalgams (which it is trying to do), the regulations will have no significant effect in reducing the diseases and developmental problems associated with mercury poisoning.
You will find the IAOMT Submission to Environment Canada in the file – www.sandrafinley.ca, under the Category “Health”, dated Nov
27.
