http://herballure.com/etd[color:"brown"]This is the thread dedicated to coordinating the "Educate The Dentists" project.[/color]
[color:"brown"]In this project, we are sending documents to dentists that explain
and prove the issues of mercury toxicity as they relate to amalgam fillings. These documents will be mailed to every dental office in the world that still uses mercury-based fillings. This is the goal.[/color]
In sending this information to dentists, we hope to accomplish two things:
- (1) To inform dentists that mercury really does come from amalgam fillings and cause health issues in hopes that they will stop using mercury-amalgam, and
- (2) Make the dentists liable for damages related to amalgam fillings (put them into a corner) by preventing them from claiming ignorance. Would this notification cause a lawsuit to hold up in court? It's hard to say, but if the information supplied is directly from accepted scientific sources, it just might.
Is This Unreasonable?So long as dentists continue to place amalgam fillings, it's obvious that they are refusing to actually look at the scientific literature. They are—instead—blindly believing their advocate organization (The ADA) against all common sense and the vast preponderance of medical literature.
Of course, it's our position that if you believe that putting mercury into the volatile environment of the mouth does not pose a health hazard, you lack common sense and are unfit to practice in any medical field. If you continue to place amalgam fillings, you are causing great harm.
The American Dental Association (ADA) has already disclaimed their liability by making this statement:
"The American Dental Association (ADA) owes no legal duty of care to protect the public from allegedly dangerous products used by dentists. The ADA did not manufacture, design, supply or install the mercury-containing amalgams. The ADA does not control those who do. The ADA's only alleged involvement in the product was to provide information regarding its use. Dissemination of information relating to the practice of dentistry does not create a duty of care to protect the public from potential injury."
—The Superior Court of the State of California
Case No. 718228, Demurrer (October 22, 1992)
There are also some that have stated that the ADA has made tremendous amounts of money from patents they hold on amalgam fillings. (see
http://herballure.com/adapatents ). How much have they profited on our suffering?
So, is it unreasonable to encourage or even force dentists to stop using a highly toxic substance in the practice of dentistry? Absolutely not. In fact, it's long overdue that the dentists and ADA both be called into accountability.
The DocumentsThe documents we're sending are, as of yet, undetermined, but we will consider some of the information provided by the IAOMT, including their point-by-point rebuttal of the recent study that was widely publicized falsely showing that amalgam causes no health effects. We will have to obtain their permission before using their materials. We are open to suggestions.
We Need You!Want to make a difference in this world? This is your opportunity.
By helping us in this endeavor, you will be helping countless people retain their health by never having to be exposed to dental amalgam, that is, if the dentists relent. If they don't, we've taken a big step in educating the dentists who care and we've given leverage to those seeking compensation for the harm that was caused by the negligence of their dentists. This will help stop those dentists who don't care from placing amalgams in the future.
We need helpers to assist with the following tasks:(1)
Stuffers: Stuffing envelopes
(2)
Database Managers: Managing the list of dentists that have been served
(3)
Donors: Donating money for expenses, such as postage and envelopes
Please participate It's fun, easy, and (we believe) will benefit the world more than most could ever imagine.Please contact us when you're ready to get involved.
russ@herballure.comWe can make this happen.
