FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 24, 2001

Mechinisms Documented by Which Mercury from Amalgam Dental Fillings and

Vaccinations Are a Cause or Major Factor in Over 40 Chronic Health

Conditions; Class Action Suits for Damages Expected to Total in the

Billions of Dollars Announced in Washington, D.C.

A coalition of doctors, dentists, lawyers, health advocates,

and environmentalists are releasing information on April 24th in

Washington DC, documenting that millions of people have been adversely

affected by mercury in dental fillings and vaccinations. Lawyers are

announcing class action lawsuits expected to involve billions of dollars

in adverse effects and comparable to tobacco. Research including over

1000 peer-reviewed or government studies has been accumulated from the

medical literature documenting the mechanism by which mercury causes

over 40 chronic health conditions including:

(a) autoimmune problems such as arthritis, MS, Lou Gehrig's

Disease(ALS), Parkinson's/ muscle tremor, Alzheimer's, muscular &

joint pain /fibromyalgia, chron's disease, lupus, scleroderma, Chronic

Fatigue Syndrome(CFS), endometriosis , diabetes

( neurological and mood disorders including memory disorders,

depression , schizophrenia , insomnia, anger, anxiety & mental

confusion, neuropathy/paresthesia, tinnitus, dizziness/vertigo,

headaches/ migraines, epilepsy, ADD, dyslexia, learning disabilities,

hearing loss, etc.

© periodontal diseases such as gingivitis, oral lichen planus, amalgam

tattoos, metal mouth, halitosis, oral keratosis(pre cancer);

(d) immune system conditions such as allergies asthma, multiple

chemical sensitivities, eczema, psoriasis, other skin conditions;

cancer(breast,etc./ leukemia),susceptibility to infections, antibiotic

resistant infection, sinus problems

(e) cardiovascular conditions including tachycardia, angina,

arteriosclerosis, other heart conditions, hypertension, and other blood

conditions

(f) hormonal problems such as hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, chronic

chills, Hashimoto's Disease, alopecia/hair loss, urinary/ prostrate

problems,

(g) reproductive problems such as infertility, reduced sperm counts,

PMS, spontaneous abortions, birth defects, children with learning

disabilities and low IQ, etc.

(h) chronic eye conditions: inflammation/iritis/ astigmatism/myopia

/cataracts/macula degeneration , color blindedness, vision

disturbances, etc.

(i) stomach/digestive problems including leaky gut, malabsorption of

essential minerals and essential fatty acids, blocked cellular enzymatic

processes related to the ATPASE energy function and sulfur oxidation.

There are extensive documented cases (many thousands) where removal of

amalgam fillings led to cure or significant improvement of these serious

health problems. Over 60,000 such clinical cases are compiled in the

documentation as followed and compiled by doctors. The over 60,000

cases of cure or significant improvements were not isolated cases of

cures; the clinical studies indicated a large majority of most such

type cases treated showed significant improvement.

Mercury's extreme cytotoxicity and neurotoxicity is a major

factor in the neurological conditions, along with its inhibition of

basic enzymatic cellular processes and effects on essential minerals and

nutrients in cells. Mercury is also documented to cause imbalances in

neurotransmitters related to mood disorders. A direct mechanism

involving mercury's inhibition of cellular enzymatic processes by

binding with the hydroxyl radical(SH) in amino acids appears to be a

major part of the connection to allergic/immune reactive conditions

such as autism, schizophrenia, lupus, eczema and psoriasis,

scleroderma, and allergies. Immune reactivity to mercury has been

documented by immune reactivity tests to be a major factor in many of

the autoimmune conditions.

The over 1000 peer reviewed studies mostly either Government

studies or abstracted in the National Library of

Medicine(www.nlm.nih.gov/) document that most people with several

amalgam dental fillings get significant daily exposure to mercury that

is the largest source of mercury exposure for most people and often

above the Government health guideline for mercury. The reason for the

high exposure levels from amalgam are mercury's negative vapor pressure

that means it is constantly vaporizing, along with galvanic electric

currents caused by mixed metals in the mouth that drive mercury and

other metals into the body. These are easily measured which has been

widely documented.

The studies also document that mercury from amalgam or other sources

such as fish crosses a woman's placenta readily and accumulates to

levels in the fetus at levels usually higher than in the mother. And

that mercury in the mother is transfered at significant levels to a

brestfeeding infant. The fact that children have been exposed to

levels of highly toxic mercury thimerosal in vaccinations well beyond

Government health guidelines for mercury is also well documented.

Studies document that such mercury exposures can cause developmental

conditions and disorders such as autism, ADD, learning disabilities,

etc.

The referenced medical studies also document the mechanism by which

mercury from amalgam or vaccines cause the above listed conditions, and

over 60,000 clinical cases of amalgam replacement that resulted in

significant improvement or cure of the above listed conditions.

The studies also document that due to the high daily exposure from

amalgam people excrete high amounts of mercury into home and office

sewers which cause levels in sewer plants to be high enough to

contaminate with mercury most of the water bodies they empty into to the

extent that fish and wildlife are contaminated with dangerous levels of

mercury. Over 20% of the lakes, all Great lakes, 7% of U.S. river

miles, and many bays are contaminated to the extent warnings have been

issued to not eat the fish. Amalgam is documented to be a major source

of mercury in many water bodies.
