How to prove Mercury's relationship to health problems in the population?
Is it more crucial than the lead toxicity we all have today? If treatment
was as affordable as food or water, is there anyone who would not benefit
from Lead and Mercury lowering therapy?
What is the determining factor in who gets treatment since total body
levels of lead are now understood to require tissue testing such as bone
lead levels to really appreciate? Is there any affordable safe way to really
know how much total mercury is in specific tissues or how much more toxic
mercury becomes when we have low levels of selenium or high levels of lead?
What about the fact that some genetic types hold on to new mercury
ingested, as when eating fish, 4 times as long as others eating that same serving
of fish?
This IAOMT announcement about upcoming FDA hearings about dental mercury
is useful, as the link at the bottom of this email provides you with a
heavily referenced and quite current report from a large Canadian company SNC
Lavalin on mercury toxicity. It is clearly very authoritative and worth you
knowing more about particularly since the world still believe the nonsense
that cholesterol lowering is a far more worthy goal for our nation's
healthcare dollars than meaningful effort to lower lead or mercury. SNC-Lavalin
has maintained its momentum in internal development, acquisitions and
affiliations and has become a world leader in a number of sectors such as
agrifood, aluminum, biopharmaceuticals, chemicals and petroleum, the environment,
facilities and operations management, infrastructure, mass transit, mining
and metallurgy and power.
Since medical boards too, like the general public, have little or no
interest in the adverse effects we are all suffering today from these and other
toxins in our water food and air, this report makes it clear they need to
learn more! It is sad that anyone with most mental health problems is seen
as drug deficient. No effort is made by any major medical center to look for
either environmental toxicities or nutrient deficiencies, while they
prescribe dangerous drugs like antidepressants to already toxic and poorly
nourished patients where even simple use of OMEGA 3 supplements would make a
meaningful difference.
This gives you a detailed analysis of mercury, which focuses more on the
dental implications of mercury amalgam sources and less on environmental
sources like power plants and industry but nonetheless mercury issues are
rampant in our country and almost no one is doing anything meaningful about it.
If you read this carefully you will see how difficult it has been to tie
down exactly the difference between adverse effects discernable in children'
s health receiving porcelain filling vs. mercury amalgam fillings. Maybe
they need multifactorial analysis and must recognize the adverse effects from
Lead and Omega 3 deficiencies and even adverse effects of GMO foods and
excessive prescribing of antibiotics. Once they factor all of that in, they
will have a realistic understanding of what has happened to our children's
health and will see that in unhealthy people, the effects of dental amalgam
alone may be hard to tease out without significantly extending the length of
the study and the number or participants and that all costs money.
SNC-Lavalin's report still leaves many questions unanswered. What if you
read the report by Mark Ulman about increasing levels of mercury in our
environment? How do you assign blame for the mercury toxicity? Is coal burning
more the chief culprit or, as in the case of lead, is it just
industrialization causing the lead to leave the earth's surface and wind up entering
our bodies with a big increase due to Ethyl Corporation with leaded gas?
But when will we have the data that will enable everyone to conclude that
lowering lead and mercury is far more vital for the preservation of life as
we know it, than wasting billions on lowering cholesterol with a minor
anti-inflammation side benefit? What price would a therapy have to drop to, for
us to start taking lead and mercury out of everyone?
Would zeolite, or some advanced forms of fiber (I prefer Beyond Fiber)
or Vitamin C that was well enough tolerated to be taken in regular doses
of 8+ Grams, like BIOEN'R-G'Y C, all be contenders if you were the surgeon
general of the head of HHS/NIH/CDC/FDA/EPA what would you be willing to
recommend to seriously change the health of our nation? Maybe to keep big
Pharma happy, we could develop other chelators that could be patented?
The question I am asking is IF THE THERAPY IS ENTIRELY SAFE, HOW CHEAP
WOULD IT HAVE TO BE for it to be made as widely available as say salt
and pepper? If something that would lower the levels of heavy metals were
cheap would all this nonsense about who needs chelation for heavy metals be
mute? As if the treatment were as affordable as milk or bread, is there
anyone that would not be getting a benefit? The
Archives Of Internal Medicine published years ago their study
documenting that ALL causes of morbidity and mortality are directly tied
to how low your lead levels are over a lifetime. So, in the final analysis,
whose job is it to define treatment levels for a population the size of the
American public?
Someone at NIH, who we later discovered was on the take, was willing to
set the recommended levels of cholesterol for our entire population. Now the
issue is if treatment is going to cost say $3000 per person
then the answers to who is going to get treatment to lower lead and
mercury becomes more complex. Then, we all want someone else to pay for
it. Maybe the ADA or power plants or health insurance? Now we get the
game going who needs treatment and for how long? The answer still is EVERYONE
and for a LIFETIME but obviously cost is what is making this topic have
proponents and opponents and therein we can have controversy for many more
years.
I am convinced we all need to get the lead and mercury out and this
reference may assist you in coming to your conclusion, along with the
many others I have sent to FACT members in past and incorporate into my
lectures around the world and into a webinar on heavy metals.

Amalgam Risk Assessments 2010
On December 14 and 15, 2010, the FDA will convene a scientific panel to
re-examine the issue of mercury exposure from amalgam dental fillings. Two
private foundations, assisted by IAOMT, have commissioned G. Mark Richardson,
PhD, of SNC Lavallin, Ottawa, Canada, formerly of Health Canada, to
provide the scientific panel and FDA regulators with a formal risk assessment
using the latest information from the scientific literature. Previously
published risk assessments dated from the 1990's. Meanwhile, newer studies have
uncovered more toxicity produced by lower levels of mercury exposure, and
various government agencies have been reducing their allowed exposure
levels.
The final work is presented here in two parts.
Part 1 is titled UPDATING EXPOSURE, REEXAMINING REFERENCE EXPOSURE LEVELS,
AND CRITICALLY EVALUATING RECENT STUDIES. "...it was determined that some
67.2 million Americans would exceed the Hg dose associated with the REL of
0.3 ug/m3 established by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1995,
whereas 122.3 million Americans would exceed the dose associated with the
REL of 0.03 ug/m3 established by the California Environmental Protection
Agency in 2008."
Part 2 is titled CUMULATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT AND JOINT TOXICITY: MERCURY
VAPOR, METHYL MERCURY AND LEAD. "A large proportion - 1/3rd - of the US
population is concurrently exposed to Hg0, methyl Hg and Pb on a daily basis.
The weight of available evidence suggests that risks posed by concurrent
exposure to combinations of these 3 substances should be assessed as additive."
