“Mercury amalgam is considered hazardous waste after it has been removed. Who can conclusively say it is safe in between when it is in our bodies?”

Juliet says.

Press Release 12 May 2009

SPEAK TO SUBMISSION - PARLIAMENT HEALTH SELECT COMMITTEE

Anti-dental amalgam campaigner Juliet Pratt Financial Adviser and Dr Paul Butler of Auckland, accompanied by Dr Damian Wojcik  Researcher of Heavy Metal Toxicity, have been invited to speak to their submissions.

This is an important step with information and research gathered about the harmful and toxic effects of Mercury Amalgam Fillings currently affecting hundred’s of New Zealander’s and people world wide.

The economic impact from diseases related to mercury amalgam fillings will be dramatic in years to come on New Zealand.

Juliet suffered chronic fatigue syndrome for 9 years, which she attributes to the amalgam fillings she had.

“Mercury amalgam is considered hazardous waste after it has been removed. Who can conclusively say it is safe in between when it is in our bodies?” Juliet says.

The US Food and Drug Administration states on its website that when amalgam fillings are placed in teeth or removed from teeth, they release mercury vapour. The vapour is also released during chewing, brushing and having a hot drink. Amalgam fillings are 50% mercury, the most toxic substance on our planet.
Last year the FDA did a swift reversal of its 30-year history of protecting mercury amalgam fillings. Their official website now states “Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxin effects on the nervous systems of developing children and foetuses.”

The FDA have been given until July this year, to issue a final ruling to classify dental amalgam.
