From: BULLELKMAN@aol.com Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 4:19 AM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov; RXF@CDRH.FDA.GOV Subject: DOCKET NO. 01N-0067 - AGAINST the FDA Rule Dear FDA, I am forwarding an e-mail message from Peggy Troiano and Julia Williams that needs to be routed to Docket Number - 01N-0067. Please post to the docket for Peggy Troiano and Julia Williams. Thank you, Mary Ann Newell Manager of the Files for Consumers for Dental Choice NOTE: I am copying Ruth Fischer at RXF@CDRH.FDA.GOV on this e-mail. We appreciate Ruth Fischer's understanding for our need to copy her on this e-mail due to the deadline of September 16, 2002 for Docket Number - 01N-0067. We need to ensure that this e-mail is properly routed to Docket Number - 01N-0067. The issue of mercury in dental fillings is too important to all of us to not allow everyone that submitted a comment to get on public record regarding the Reclassification of Dental Mercury. THANK YOU. Subj: DOCKET NO. 01N-0067 - AGAINST the FDA Rule Date: 5/22/2002 8:53:03 PM Pacific Standard Time From: mcsbeaconofhope@yahoo.com To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Sent from the Internet (Details) In reference to: DOCKET NO. 01N-0067 - AGAINST the FDA Rule May 22, 2002 To Whom This Concerns, IF one were told of the real dangers of mercury from amalgam and IF they were given a safer choice, "Why" on earth would anyone choose something which has been scientifically demonstrated to be more toxic than lead, cadmium, or even arsenic and is one of the most toxic substances known to man to be placed in their mouths? Mercury from amalgam is stored principally in the kidneys, liver and brain. This Toxin should never have been allowed or continue to be placed in our mouths without, at least telling us of the severe health dangers and first, giving us the option of a safer choice! Through the years " Many" of us have been left to deal with the devastating and debilitating health issues caused from said exposures and from our personal experiences know that help from qualified dentist and doctors is not a readily accessible option! Mercury fillings have/are causing nightmares in the lives of innocent victims everywhere! Citizens young and old alike have the right to know the safety or lack there-of that exist in our every day products and surroundings and to be informed that safer choices, products and practices are readily available. If/when errors are made - Dear Lord, Let it be on the side of Safety! The latest DAMS PR (PR12) makes a strong case since it documents amalgam as the main source of both inorganic and methyl mercury in most people; and Gov't agencies indicate millions are adversely affected by methyl mercury. Please visit the following sites and then please, utilize the real facts when making decisions affecting the health & well being of others - protect everyone from the dangers of mercury fillings!
