Re: O/T,silver fillings with no mercury???

August 7, 2007

I believe the Jigsaw Health Foundation has some information about financing

http://www.jigsawhealth.org/ -- I didn't use them myself but my dentist did have

a brochure for them.

I agree with Dean that the dentist has lied outright about the filling

materials. I don't know if you could actually press a lawsuit for the lie, or

if it would be worth it, unless he was the dentist that placed the amalgam and

lied up front about it. But even then it might not be much use since the ADA

maintains that amalgam is safe. Despite all the evidence to the contrary.

On the other hand, the EPA imposes rules that dentists must follow for handling

this toxic material before it is placed in your mouth and after it is removed.

If the dentist is blatantly lying about the materials then he may not be

following the rules... a complaint to the EPA might cause him some trouble.

In any case, I think the most important thing is to convince your friend that

silver fillings do contain mercury and that dentists do lie. She needs to start

taking her health into her own hands, as we all are doing.

Good luck.
