FDA Reluctantly Admits Mercury Fillings Have Neurotoxic Effects on Children

[vhx]

Although it is known that small amounts of mercury are vaporized (and can be inhaled) when the fillings are used to chew food, and though Canada, France and Sweden have all placed restrictions on the use of mercury fillings, the FDA has always insisted that amalgams are safe.

I love how everyone skipped over that. Yes, the fillings themselves are 'fine'. It's stimulation that causes it to vaporize (aka body temperature, chewing, brushing, etc.).

Here is a link with the fillings actually vaporizing with stimulus: http://iaomt.org/videos/

The video also shows other tests and documents that have been done to prove problems with it.

Proven right? I don't know. I would have liked to have seen the release from the FDA itself and not from a website with an agenda. Settling the lawsuit doesn't prove anything it just means they are settling. Damage? I didn't see anything about damage done to anyone--just that it may cause damage. Is there a case where it can be linked or proved? Probably not. Even the above article states that amalgam has been in use since the 1800's.

I don't really understand your logic. You say you don't trust a website dedicated to health and nutrition because of an agenda they may have. However, you would trust the FDA who apparently has no agenda? The same responsible for the current issues regarding Melamine in many products and the peppers from Mexico debacle?

Damage? No point in starting a big lawsuit if they couldn't prove it does cause harm. (Not to mention other countries recognize it as a problem. Also refer to the video above.) Is there a case of what causing harm? Mercury? Mercury is a toxic substance. Gee I wonder how it would be harmful if stuck in your mouth permanently.

Being in use for 200 years doesn't mean squat; as if that means it is safe. Asbestos has been in use for a long time, why should we stop that? Cigarettes are safe too, they've been around awhile. Just because it has been practiced for a while doesn't mean it's safe.

I also find it puzzling how someone posting anything not from a MSM source, people get their panties in a knot and deny any merit to the article at all. It's like people are trained to have tunnel vision towards anything other than their 'trusted' news sources and channels.

keep living in the denial. when the Illuminati decide to nerve gas you and your family, you'll still be calling us tinfoil hats.

ROFL.

The FDA, along with most of the federal departments, has been severely compromised by the Bush Administration. Somewhere, there's a mercury filling company who has paid huge lobbying dollars to the current administration to keep the FDA off their back. It's as guaranteed as FEMA f'ing up the <insert hurricane/natural disaster here> rescue operation.

 

[SlickSnake]

Food and Drug Administration Must Classify Mercury Fillings! Ten-year battle to get the F.D.A. to comply with the law and set a date to classify amalgam fillings WON!

Here was the thread I posted about this issue. You can see by some of the responses how many are obviously suffering from mercury poisoning and don't even know it.

Rat poison can be approved by the FDA in a snap too.

Already is. Ever hear of vitamin D added to milk?

It's The Law - Rat Poison Must Be Added to Milk In 1932, Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations required that 400 units of rat poison be added to every quart of milk sold in America.

And there are many other links that verify this for the skeptical minded.

Considering how little direct sunlight I get as a code monkey, it's only the rat poison that's keeping me alive.

Speaking of reject nutjobs. :laugh:

Thanks for proving my point.

rofl. What's sad is that you don't even get it.

No really, it's sad. Well actually, considering you've been slapped around and wimped out of so many threads, it's more funny than anything else. Let's be real here, you couldn't back up the shit you've said in this thread or any other if your life depended on it.

Based on a short reading of your recent mostly garbage thread craps and insults to random posters, I see a ban stick up your sarcastic stinky ass in the near future.

And when being "slapped around" includes clueless twats like yourself doing the slapping, I think that says a lot more about you than me, don't you? If you keep this shit up, I will have to charge you by the hour, I won't head shrink you psycho cases on a charity basis.

Is this your way of waving the white flag of surrender like you did in the mortgage thread when you claimed banks created credit out of thin air? No but really, I won't be going away anytime soon, but you're always welcome to continue posting in "Bablyon 5 is MISSING" threads, I won't interrupt that circle jerk. :laugh:

Um, no. Everything you've listed has clear benefits to humans in appropriate doses and is not toxic. Can you say the same for Mercury?

FDA.gov, but I can't find the specific "warning" it refers to.

Here's one article I found:

http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/docke...des/2006-4218s2-03.pdf

Conclusion:
Mercury amalgams emit much higher levels of mercury during the first few weeks than reported in the literature for fillings placed years ago (as should be expected)
?High Cu alloys (primarily in use today) release much more mercury than older-style Low Cu alloys
?Amounts emitted during first week are far in excess of FDA guidelines for exposure to methylmercury
?In-vitro studies needed to more exactly quantify release rates fromnew fillings ?presently there is NO DATA on vapor

LOL @ the all powerful tooth-filling lobbyists! Do they hand out taffy and lollipops?

You probably get orders of magnitude more mercury from eating a couple tuna rolls or driving by a coal power plant.

 

[Asslee]

I'm not sure how anyone can blindly trust the FDA or any other government affiliated type agency. We should be questioning the things we are being told, not accepting it without question. The fact of the matter is that from childhood we are all trained to trust authority figures, when in reality authority figures should be questioned because as everyone else, there are altering motives. Most often the motive is profit, no matter what the cost be...even meaning someone's health. Question everything.

 

[StageLeft]

Yet again simply another example of a taken-for-granted use of a chemical that we eventually find out is causing us real harm. It's not like this hasn't happened before: lead, asbestos, medications that are pulled after they start causing five armed kids or blown up hearts. What else is out there now? I still think that artificial sweeteners are are a ticking bomb, though I admit to some ironic extent that I still use them.

I love how people make completely stupid statements based on what they think is "probably" true. Hey look, google sez in about 35 seconds of research....

From my first link from the FDA:
A filling bleeds off from a low of 160 to a high of 782 micrgrams in the first week per filling.

The FDA recommends no more than 14.35 micrograms per week for a 45 lb child

So yah, you are stupid.

Yes actually. Mercury is a necessary component any fluorescent bulb and in appropriate doses is indeed absolutely safe.

FDA also says melamine is good for your keep sucking on the kool aid.

Got it. But where is the reluctant admission that fillings are causing neurotoxic damage?

I believe the FDA says mercury can cause neurotoxic damage. We know cigs cause cancer, but we don't know X# of cigs cause cancer every time. So they are making a connection that can be proven, but not at what level and in what conditions. I'm guessing that neurotoxic damage is cumulative much like lead...

Here's the first link on the FDA's website that I was looking for that the article references:
