As with eliminating mercury from Vaccines after proving that it's not the
"mercury" that causes Autism, a change does not have to be based on fact to
develop public pressure that the FDA knuckles under to.
Ie: Changing a policy, does not prove that anyone was lying.
It means that the FDA sees itself [true or not] to be a public servant,
subject to the public will...valid, or not...and will knuckle under to
public pressure when an alternative is adequately functional.
It proves that pressure works, based in fact or not. [The truth, WHAT EVER
it may be... is irrelevant...when the why nots, overwhelm the why tos and
the consumer is willing to pay the difference when a somewhat less
reliable, more expensive, but adequately functional filling leaks. Pick
Mercury content as a reason, valid or not..and there ya go. ]
It has been shown that it's the inflammation from the vaccine that causes
Autism, but only in genetically weakened individuals, as would the disease
the vaccine is designed to prevent. But that can't be proven because
taking the Vaccine prevents the second scenario.
On the other hand, not being vaccinated doesn't mean you'll catch a
disease, which accounts for statistical differences.
On the other other hand, those who do get vaccinated transfer a sort of
protection to those who aren't by interrupting the transmission vectors.
Yes, treatments can be dangerous. The question is ALWAYS, is the treatment
more or less dangerous that what is being treated?
..and, are there safer alternatives that actually work more reliably?
Sometimes there are, but that's no reason to throw rocks at doctors who
labor under threat of lawsuit and unable to try anything out of that *safe
legal box*, for not knowing everything under the sun and taking a chance on
something relatively more unproven.
A doctor cannot choose something that may not be more reliable, yet might
work with less danger.
"YOU" can do that only because suing yourself doesn't pay.
EVERYONE goes by their *best guess*
[and denying ignorance has never equaled knowing anything ]
A guess can work for no known reason at all, in spite of any wrong but
irrelevant reasons.
There ARE no absolute truths on this planet..everything is relative in a
dualistic universe.
Those who insist otherwise are lying in the *same manner* they claim
someone else is.
To go "Your way" doesn't require changing everyone elses.
..and billions of people can be just as dead wrong as one person can be.
This was not a victory, it was a pressured vindication, proving only that
people in numbers have the same power to manipulate policy that a public
office has, regardless of any truths.
"Jim Crow" showed us another, albeit, more starkly consequential example.

How to stop Mercury in our mouths is a case in point regarding how to
change all the nonsense we see in medicine where treating symptoms with
dangerous drugs and never focusing on causes makes for expensive,
dangerous treatment. Now the Government will come to the rescue; hold on
to your wallets.
This is important to understand. Changing the impossible, like the
nonsense that everyone needs cholesterol lowering drugs, or the current
treatment of Cancer, as though it is a local disease that can be cut out,
are major entrenched concepts that will take the same concerted efforts
and money. Here you will read about how finally a change in the perception
around amalgam fillings through hearings and fact sheets and coalition
building and the correct lawsuit by capable dedicated caring attorneys are
all part of the way that over enough time things can be changed.
These groups (including AAHF) developed strategies, built a united voice,
and relied on credible information. To change the policy, there were
petitions, Congressional hearings, state fact sheet laws, Scientific
Advisory Committee hearings, and support letters, all setting the stage
for the lawsuit.
It appears that somehow our system of Government occasionally works! Even
the FDA cannot stay above the law forever. The FDA has thrown in the towel
over mercury in amalgams! They will no longer lie on their website about
its safety!! The end of mercury fillings is in sight!
The team here with Charles Brown, as the lead attorney, has done the
impossible.
There is hope with this victory that someday other major lies about
Alternative Medicine will also finally be overcome even if very slowly and
expensively. This battle has cost proponents millions and those whose
lives were needlessly wasted with ill health, billions!
But the good news is that with enough dedication to the fight, it proves
it is possible in spite of the odds, and in all of our fights there are
well endowed, deeply entrenched vested interests whether you talk about
Autism or Cancer or Heart Disease or learning and memory problems, status
quo always raises it head.
Further good news, however! The Time Magazine June 6th issue with a
picture of a baby on the front cover and the article, The Truth About
Vaccines, actually admits THERE IS A DANGER!!!
Amazingly it concludes that with Autism there must be a genetic and
environmental component. Of course, they have never read Newsweek about
DNA, Epigenetics, Methylation, Agouti mice, etc so no one connects the dots.
Randy Jirtle, at Duke with his Agouti Mice, then proves that with
exposures to some toxins like Bisphenyl A we all have in our bodies, we
can all start to be healthier with adequate methylation support. They are
not aware that cheap Folic acid found in 99% of supplements will NOT fill
this need optimally over a lifetime but only all three folic acid versions
with B-12, B-6 and the rest of the methylation support I write about from
NAC to TMG and MSM, even SAM-e etc.
The defect in methylation that we now realize is proven to be related to
mutations that virtually all of us have in 5âMTHFR enzyme pathways, even
before we get an overload of toxins like phthalates, which are now known
to be 10,000 times higher in the average person than 10 years ago, IMPAIRS
OUR ABILITY TO DETOXIFY things like MERCURY.
Now that we are finally aware that we need to get the mercury out of our
mouths, the environment is bringing us much more mercury. The rapid
construction of new Coal burning power plants around the world will make
sure we all are still mercury toxic unless you follow my protocol and
start a lifetime ingestion of oral chelators from DMSA to EDTA to NAC to
DL METHIONE to proven clean garlic supplements, Beyond Fiber,
BioEnâR-Gây C etc.
Thus, just like the Time Magazine article about Vaccines and Autism
states, even with the removal of most thiomersal from vaccines over the
past 7 years, there is no decrease in Autism incidence. Of course, you can
explain this when you read that for every new coal burning power plant in
Texas the incidence of autism continues to rise, and it is now shown to be
related to how close the child lives to the power plant.

Dental Mercury Victory
AAHF is pleased to announce that the Food and Drug Administration must now
classify mercury fillings! We congratulate Consumers for Dental Choices,
Moms Against Mercury, International Academy of Oral and Metal Toxicology,
and all other groups and individuals who have dedicated years to the issue
of the dangers of dental mercury.
This is a successful end to a 10-year battle to get the FDA to comply with
the law and set a date to classify mercury amalgam.
On Monday, June 2, Consumers for Dental Choice announced that they settled
the lawsuit, Moms Against Mercury et al. v. Von Eschenbach, Commissioner,
et al and that the FDA will finish classifying within one year of the
close of the public comment period on its amalgam policy, that is, by July
28, 2009.
Charlie Brown, General Council for Consumers for Dental Choice stated,
âThereâs more good news. During a several hour negotiation session,
FDA agreed to change its website on amalgam -- dramatically. Gone, gone,
gone are all of FDAâs claims that no science exists that amalgam is
unsafe, or that other countries have acted for environmental reasons only,
or that the 2006 Scientific Panel vote affirmed amalgamâs
safety. Instead -- see http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumer/amalgams.html --
FDA has moved to a neutral course, while recognizing the serious health
concerns posed by amalgam in particular for children and unborn children,
for pregnant women, for those with mercury immuno-sensitivity or high
mercury body burdens.â
As Charlie says, this isnât a perfect win but it is a 180-degree
reversal from FDAâs 30-year policy of protecting mercury fillings. This
win also shows that health freedom can make a difference even when going
against Goliath.
This wasnât a one-prong approach -- these groups (including AAHF)
developed strategies, built a united voice, and relied on credible
information. To change the policy, there were petitions, Congressional
hearings, state fact sheet laws, Scientific Advisory Committee hearings,
and support letters, all setting the stage for the lawsuit.
The impact of the re-writing of FDAâs position on amalgam can hardly be
understated. Their website will no longer be cited by the American Dental
Association in public hearings. FDA shows awareness of the key issues
involved. As it prepares to classify amalgam, FDA has moved to a position
of neutrality. Indeed, having repeatedly raised the question of
amalgamâs risk to children, young women, and the immuno-sensitive
persons in its website, it is inconceivable that FDA will not in some way
protect them in its upcoming rule.
Please join us in celebrating this victory and consider giving a donation
to the Consumers for Dental Choice to help off-set their costs of taking
the lead on this issue.

We Win -- FDA Must Classify Mercury Fillings
We have won our ten-year battle to get the Food and Drug Administration to
comply with the law and set a date to classify mercury amalgam.
On Monday, we settled our lawsuit, Moms Against Mercury et
al. v. Von Eschenbach, Commissioner, et al. FDA will finish classifying
within one year of the close of the public comment period on its amalgam
policy, that is, by July 28, 2009.
Thereâs more good news. During a several hour negotiation
session, FDA agreed to change its website on amalgam --
dramatically. Gone, gone, gone are all of FDAâs claims that no science
exists that amalgam is unsafe, or that other countries have acted for
environmental reasons only, or that the 2006 Scientific Panel vote
affirmed amalgamâs safety. Instead -- see
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumer/amalgams.html -- FDA has moved to a
neutral course, while recognizing the serious health concerns posed by
amalgam in particular for children and unborn children, for pregnant
women, for those with mercury immuno-sensitivity or high mercury body
burdens. FDA now states, for example:
âDental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on
the nervous systems of developing children and fetus.â
âPregnant women and persons who may have a health condition that makes
them more sensitive to mercury exposure, including individuals with
existing high levels of mercury bioburden, should not avoid seeking dental
care, but should discuss options with their health practitioner.â
Perfect? No. A 180-degree reversal from FDAâs 30-year policy of
protecting mercury fillings? Absolutely.
To change FDA policy, we tried petitions, Congressional
hearings, state fact sheet laws, Scientific Advisory Committee hearings,
and letters galore -- to no avail. So in the great American tradition,
we sued. The case came to a head this spring. On April 22, working with
Johann Wehrle and Gwen Smith, I filed a motion for an injunction before
Judge Ellen Huvelle. Three sets of briefs later, the government and I
presented our oral arguments on May 16. In a crucial ruling, Judge
Huvelle ruled that our 11 plaintiffs -- the diverse group listed below --
have standing. She said FDA should classify, and invited the two sides
to mediate. On May 30, before Magistrate Judge John Facciola, Bob Reeves
(who flew in from Lexington KY) and I hammered out an agreement with FDA
officials and lawyers.
The impact of the re-writing of its position on amalgam can
hardly be understated. FDAâs website will no longer be cited by the
American Dental Association in public hearings. FDA shows awareness of
the key issues involved. As it prepares to classify amalgam, FDA has
moved to a position of neutrality. Indeed, having repeatedly raised the
question of amalgamâs risk to children, young women, and the
immuno-sensitive persons in its website, I find it inconceivable that FDA
will not in some way protect them in its upcoming rule.
