Bulletin #659

August 23, 2006

Dear Mr. Adjodha,

I believe it is time to ban mercury amalgam fillings, especially for children and pregnant mums. Please ensure that the FDA does its job and protects the public from harm from this misguided practice, especially now that it is clear that there are safer - and far more attractive  - fillings available. We look to the FDA to put our children’s health above the  financial interests and liabilities of the American Dental Association which has been totally discredited on this practice as well as its continued unscientific promotion of water fluoridation.

Signed,

• FDA should order dentists to tell people about the mercury.
• The word “silver fillings” is deceptive.
• Mercury fillings are no longer needed — alternatives are available.
• Why does FDA want to be behind the rest of the world in protecting children?
• Mercury is a neuro-toxin that harms the developing brains of children and fetuses.
• Ban amalgam now!
• Ban amalgam for children and pregnant women now!
