PA COALITION FOR MERCURY FREE DENTISTRY
My story:
http://www.toxicteeth.org/forms/mainLineToday.pdfFDA Questions and Answers will give you the information that they are looking for
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumer/amalgams.htmlFDA form to fill out:
http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=SubmitComment&o=0900006480537ef9PLEASE FORWARD TO OTHERS.
FDA comment period ends on July 28.
The deadline is approaching for those who wish to submit comments to the US Food and Drug Administration on mercury fillings. To get instructions, you may go to the top of our website,
www.toxicteeth.org, and look for the sign, in orange: "Submit comments to FDA now." Those instructions were written by two of our award-winning advocates, Mary Ann Newell (Vancouver, Wash.) and Freya Koss (Philadelphia).
Comments: Pursuant to our mediated settlement, FDA will classify mercury fillings i n a year. FDA will work from this record, so your precise comments could be helpful. By now, FDA is aware of the depth and breadth of this movement, so casual comments are not needed. We must focus on quality, not quantity. To see the specific information FDA asks for, go to
http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/08-1187.htm. If you have further questions, you can contact the helpful an d courteous FDA official in charge of the record, Michael Adjodha, ph 240-276-3688.
Organizations: What we need a lot of is organizations. A simple letter from your group will be quite helpful, stating, for example, that FDA should ban mercury fillings, or at least prohibit their use for children and women of child-bearing age. If you would rather your organization sign onto my letter rather than write one yourself, let me know.
Comments a re due July 28.
