Dr. Shuren is the head of the FDA Medical Devices Committee, and is the one, I’m told is responsible for the delay in acting on the ban or partial ban of mercury fillings.
Here is the email I sent him today:
Can you tell me what the hold-up is in banning, or partially banning the use of mercury in the mouths of Americans? With all of the evidence presented, doesn’t it seem like the pro-amalgam forces are the ones with anecdotal evidence, because THEY haven’t proven that it’s safe for everyone? Who are the sinister forces, at work behind the scenes, making sure that we continue to poison Americans, not just by placing mercury fillings, but by making dentists think they’re doing no harm. It’s time for a ban, and for regulations regarding the removal of fillings so that more people aren’t poisoned by this process.
I know a lot of dentists ready to make a fortune off of the panic created, but none of them uses a rubber dam, and other IAOMT recommended safety procedures. The public needs to be made aware that strident precautions are needed for removal.
Physicians need to be made aware of symptoms of mercury toxicity that might be related to other entities that they’re treating with Rx’s, and that appropriate testing for heavy metals is needed, and then a referral to a mercury-safe dentist combined with chelation for mercury, rather than the thousands of pills Americans are swallowing.
This is 2012 Dr. Shuren, not 1850. It’s time that those “quacks” who began the process, and today are ADA dentists understand that dentistry used to be done only by MD’s. While dentists are trained to be “physicians of the mouth”, those sinister forces behind the scenes are trying to keep the rank and file dentists as unwitting poisoners of Americans, especially young children who are most succeptible.
Time to get off your butt, and act as an agent of change rather than a puppet of big business. Your job is to protect and defend. Please explain your lack of attention to this issue?
