 I agree with the sentiments expressed in Ronald Levine's letter below. 

It is time to ban mercury amalgam fillings, especially for children and pregnant women.





From Ronald H. Levine, Midvale, Utah  <ronaldhlevine@aideq.com>

 

Dear Mr. Adjodha,





Mercury fillings in teeth release a neurotoxin into the body for a 

lifetime. I greatly resent this. I pay a premium price for highly 

purified water and foods grown without pesticides, yet mercury is 

being time released into my body from mercury fillings. I have them 

because the dental establishment and government was trusted by 

parents. Science and medicine doesn't know everything, so when we are 

told that it is harmless, they can't really know. When I ask doctors 

what causes cancer or a plethora of other diseases, they say they 

don't know. With so much unknown, it is a lie to say that this mercury 

exposure is harmless -- they don't know. There should be no innocent 

until proven guilty standard for chemicals. That is a human right -- 

not a right of chemicals. Chemicals have no rights.



Government going along with the lie that mercury in fillings is 

harmless comes with many costs including being complicit in this 

criminal fraud. This is just one example of why government is not 

trusted. In the news lately we are seeing a popular objection to the 

privacy invasions of government in the name of catching terrorists. 

Perhaps this wouldn't be as big of an issue if government were trusted 

more. Go along with the lie that mercury fillings cause no harm and 

continue to foster mistrust of government. I advocate government come 

clean and admit that there are contradictions in the falsely presented 

safety of mercury fillings. A government that fails to admit mistakes 

will not be trusted. Let's start now to present healthier standards.




  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  


  

  








  

  
 I call upon government to do something to give the people correct 

health information concerning mercury fillings particularly since 

there are excellent alternatives and government should even if there 

weren't.
