There are no published studies, no records of any clinical trials, and no publicly-available paper trail demonstrating that any safety testing was done whatsoever. There is no researcher who has publicly put their name on the record declaring the vaccines to be safe, and no FDA official has ever stated that scientifically-valid safety testing has ever been conducted on the vaccine / adjuvant combinations now being distributed across America.
Normally, when a pharmaceutical achieves “FDA approved” status, there is a considerable paper trail of scientific scrutiny, peer review, clinical trials and other supporting evidence. Read more:

MY PAIN IS FINALLY GONE!

December 15th, 2009 Comments Off

For three years I have been dealing with pain and headaches related to TMJ dysfunction. I have been to countless MD’s and Dentists. After a consultation, Dr. Markus fabricated an NTI-tss device to control my night time clenching and grinding. He also made some adjustments to my bite, after using a very cool device called the Tekscan which measures bite pressure and equilibrium. My first visit was in August 09 and by late September my pain had reduced by half. By November I was virtually pain free! As evidenced by the above, I believe Dr. Markus has the ability to diagnose and treat the most complex joint in the body, the temporomandibular joint. Thanks!

LETTER TO EDITOR: Tooth unfairy

The Washington Times’ article about the health czar’s conflicts of interest could just as well have been written about Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, who re-entered government through the revolving door of Henry Schein Inc., the nation’s No. 1 dental-products company (“Obama ‘czar’ was highly paid chief of legally troubled firms,” Page 1, Tuesday).

Having made over a million dollars for the light work of being a Schein corporate director, Dr. Hamburg signed an ethics contract pledging not to participate in any activity affecting Schein so long as she held stock or stock options in that company. Then she figuratively tore up the ethics agreement, participating in the rule-making for dental amalgam (so-called silver fillings), even though Schein sells more amalgam than any other company.

After checking her stock option’s value on June 30, Dr. Hamburg insisted on convening a policy meeting on July 1 about the amalgam rule so that she could provide “feedback” to the staff and review the rule’s “next steps.” She then waited until the rule was a fait accompli before purportedly withdrawing (though never actually filing a recusal document). While telling American consumers that she was recused from the issue “based on the requirements of federal ethics laws and the standard of ethical conduct,” Dr. Hamburg reassured her corporate benefactor that her “friendships” at Schein “will outlast the period of my recusal.”

The resulting amalgam rule allows Schein to market amalgam without disclosing the very presence of mercury to consumers, even though this neurotoxin is amalgam’s chief component. It is a 180-degree reversal of Republican Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach’s pro-consumer policy on amalgam, which included a consumer Web site that warned parents and pregnant women that mercury from amalgam can cause neurological damage to children and unborn babies.

With Dr. Hamburg disregarding her ethical obligations to the industry’s benefit, it’s no wonder that right after the rule issued, Schein’s general counsel e-mailed the commissioner that the company is “indebted” to her for her work at FDA.

Dear Dr. Markus,
Just a short note to thank you for the many years of excellent dental care that you have provided to me and my family.

Over the past 25 years I have had some unique dental problems which you have always handled promptly and professionally. For that I am very grateful. You have always treated my concerns and questions about my care with the utmost consideration and honesty. As I enter the “ senior citizen “ period of life I know I can contribute my good dental health to your care.

I also want to compliment your staff, who have shown me great kindness over the years. Everyone from your staff is easy to work with, pleasant and helpful.

It has truly been a pleasure to be a patient at the Centre for Dentistry.

Sincerely,
Donna Kovalevich
