However, readers should think beyond the article. Why did the WHO take action only after alternative material become available? Could this organization at least recommend a warning to alert dental patients to the mercury-based dental filing called amalgam before alternatives become available. WHO is in no way to protect consumers only. It seems it is obligated to protect business as well. That is, it took action today not because amalgam is too toxic, but because mostly alternative materials become available. I remember what I suffered after I received amalgam filing for one of my wisdom teeth. I suffered chronic fatigue for years and eventually half of the amalgam dissolved and half fell out. It took years for me to fully recover from this suffering. Also one statement in this article may not be accurate. Dr. Mercola says in this article "As a result of enormous public pressure from dentists, health professionals and consumers, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also promised to make an announcement by year's end about dental amalgam." Is it really that dentists do not want to use amalgam? I know many dentists do not care about the toxicity. Use it without warning their dental patients about the toxicity of mercury. Should my dentist tell me about the composition of the filling material she used to fix my tooth, I would reject the treatment because my personal philosophy does not permit use of such toxic material. http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Healthcare/healthcare_1228111135.html Healthcare Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:27:00 +0000 What’s Hot and What’s Not: 2011 Health Care Roundup It’s cliché to say that it’s hard to believe 2011 is nearly over, but so much http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Healthcare/pediatric_academy_1207110743.html Healthcare Wed, 07 Dec 2011 13:42:00 +0000 Posted By Dr. Mercola    Visit the Mercola Video Library Story at-a-glance The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) receives millions of dollars from big pharmaceutical corporations selling vaccine to pediatricians, http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Healthcare/psychiatric_drug_for_simple_pain_1022110225.html Healthcare Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:24:00 +0000 By Martha Rosenberg There was a day when it seemed like everyone was on antidepressant "happy pills" like Prozac®, Paxil ® and Zoloft®.
