Norway BAIL OUT with MERCURY fillings!

No more amalgam, Norway's government tells its dentists
The following edited article is from Maryanne Rygg, Norway

A long-awaited breakthrough in the war against amalgam was announced
on 31 May.

The director for the Norwegian Directorate of Health and Social
Welfare said on Norwegian radio that the health authorities now
recommend that dentists no longer use amalgam on their patients. He
said that the new guidelines are based on newer research that has
revealed how mercury leaks from amalgam in the mouth of patients.

The Norwegian Directorate of Health and Social Welfare has announced
that it will be sending its new guidelines for use of dental
materials out for hearing in a couple of weeks, and expects them to
take effect from 1 January 2003.

The announcement was called a "U-turn" by the Norwegian radio. The
current president of the Norwegian Dental Association was also
interviewed, and said that the Norwegian Dental Association was
satisfied that the guidelines stop short of a full ban on amalgam,
and that freedom of choice is still possible. He also said that there
has been controversy around the use of amalgam for 100 years, and
that the Dental Association would not defend amalgam "at any price".

The current president of the Norwegian Dental Association works in an
amalgam-free dental practice, and has not used amalgam for many years.

The ten-page document is still labeled as confidential, until it is
sent out for hearing in a couple of weeks. We have been told that it
will be published (in Norwegian) on the website of the Norwegian
Dental Materials Adverse Reaction Unit
( http://www.uib.no/bivirkningsgruppen/ ), but it has not appeared
there as
yet. It is expected to be published on the website of the Norwegian
Dental Patient Association ( http://www.tenneroghelse.no ).

It appears that this document contains many statements that the anti-
amalgam movement has claimed for years. Now they have publicly
endorsed the claims, although there are still a few sentences in the
ten-page document that will continue to be disputed. Although the
document states that the overall aim is to phase out the use of
amalgam, the guidelines do stop short of a complete ban. It is
advice, rather than instruction. It will still be possible for adult
patients who insist on amalgam to receive it. However, when the
statements about amalgam which are contained in this document are
made public, it would be a strong disincentive for anyone to choose
to have amalgam installed in their mouth.

Mercury can cause a bewildering variety of problems.

In fact, one of the major criticisms of amalgam illness is that it is
cited as the cause of so many things. But, like the parable of the
blind men and the elephant, mercury can indeed cause many diseases.
Modern physicians are not trained to find the root cause of a sick
person's problems.

They are trained to translate what they see into latin, look it up in
their textbook, and apply a cookbook treatment.

With a toxin that poisons fundamental metabolic processes different
people will experience different symptoms to start off, depending on
their own individual biochemistry. As the poisoning becomes more and
more serious, further symptoms surface and the modern doctor adds
more diagnoses - a patient who starts with depression might later be
considered to have hypothyroidism, allergies and asthma in addition.

But no thought is given to why one person should develop more and
more diseases, when a single diagnosis - chronic mercury poisoning -
could account for them all.

Some of the diseases a modern physician might mistakenly misdiagnose
chronic mercury poisoning as are:

Toxic Encephalopathy, Chronic fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome,
Autoimmune disorders and disease, Multiple chemical sensitivities,
(Environmental illness), Fibromyalgia, Endocrine disorders,
Thyroidsm, Irritable bowel syndrome, High Blood pressure, Rheumatoid
arthritis, Food Sensitivities, Acne, Psoriorisis, Sciatica,
Allergies, Panic attacks, Anxiety, Colitis, Prothralgia, Parkinson's
disease, Amylotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's' disease,
Hypothyroidism, Infertility, Neuropathy, Erectile dysfunction
disorder, Polineuropathy, Peripheral neuropathy, Computer vision
Syndrome, Alleged and frequently misdiagnozed misdiagnosed for
MENOPAUSE, Gastritis, Crohn's disease, Addison's disease, Carpal
Tunel, Tersal Tunel, Allergies, Hypogonadism, Ankylosing spondylitis,
Insomnia, Anorexia nervosa, Juvenile arthritis Asthma, RAIDS, RADS,
RUDS, Learning disabilities, Attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, Lupus erythromatosus, Manic depression, Bipolar disorder,
Multiple sclerosis, Bulimia, Myasthenia gravis, Sleep disorders,
Candidiasis, Yeast syndrome, Pervasive developmental disorder,
Depression, Psychosis, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Borderline
personality disorder, Schizophrenia.

There is NO DOUBT that GULF WAR ILLNESS is caused by MERCURY
poisoniong (dental mercury amalgam reaction with hydrogen sulfide
leaking from OIL WELLS on fire, and additional mercury boost from
vaccines (thimerosal) causing severe brain injury, including
Parkinson's like trembling, and lobar perfussion. Mercury fillings
are the sole cause of Carpal Tunel, erectrile dysfunction alleged
menopause, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome,
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity... and more!

PENTAGON (General Rostker):

"Summers (1994) has proposed that set of unexplained symptoms in PGW
veterans (skin rashes, chronic fatigue, headaches, sore joints, hair
loss, irritability, insomnia, diarrhea, and depression) are related
to mercury toxicity as result of installation of dental amalgams just
prior to or immediately after service in PGW. This hipotesis asserts
that installation of these amalgams resulted in clinically evident
elemental mercury toxicity that continues as patients have ongoing
exposure to mercury. It is clear that the placement of dental
amalgams results in systemic exposure to mercury (Gross and
Harrisson, 1989;

Researchers suggest that Gulf War veterans and others who meet the
diagnostic criteria for more than one of CFS, FMS and/or MCS may all
be suffering from dental amalgam poisoning but as yet not undefined
common syndrome.
(Summers et al. 1993).

It is also clear that significant exposure to elemental mercury
results in toxic syndrome with complex clinical presentation
(Wyngaarden et al. 1992.)

At the same time, relatively few human studies of adverse effects of
amalgams have been done. Interest in diminishing elemental mercury
exposure has resulted in proposals in Sweden, Denmark and Germany for
restrictions on the use of mercury - containing dental amalgams. To
date, the hypothesis of unexplained symptoms in PGW veterans
associated with the recent installation of dental amalgams has not
been directly investigated to the best of our knowledge. __

It is evident that all, for example, seem to share heightened
sensitivity to a diverse range of stresses, from physical exertion
and infection to environmental exposures. In addition to chemical
sensitivity, they often also report heightened sensitivity to bright
lights, loud noises, hot and/or cold weather, and/or being touched.
Until further research clarifies the nature of this overlap, however,
the majority of physicians, insurers, attorneys and support groups
continue to regard CFS, FMS, MCS and GWS for legal claims are trying
to define as separate and distinct conditions.

Gulf War Illness:
Rand Report:

http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1018.2/

The legal position of the American Dental Association (ADA) on the
safety of mercury containing dental amalgam and the use of the
material by dentists in the United States was recently stated as
follows:

The 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.

Source: Legal brief filed in 1995 by attorneys for the ADA in W.H.
Tolhurst vs. Johnson and Johnson Consumer Products, Inc.; Engelhard
Corporation; ABE Dental, Inc.; the American Dental Association, et
al., in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the
County of Santa Clara, CA, Case No. 718228.


ADA is being now sued and vigorously is depending themself from
lawsuits by lobbying in Washington DC:

http://www.ada.org/prof/pubs/daily/0206/0621wash.html

It is mandatory that MERCURY WILL BE IMMEDIATELY BANED AS SEVERE
NEUROTOXIC SLOW ACTING POISON, and use of mercury in dentistry must
be criminalized!
