Not news (6+ years old) but interesting . - were there any follow up studies
on this? Confirmation / rebuttal?

Sorry all. My Mistake.

I now see this is an old chestnut of Jan's that has brought out for another
airing and therefore not "More Truth". Its the same old stuff.

Stephen Mancuso Commented:

ATTENTION ! ! !

For the sake of any new readers to this newsgroup. Jan is a retired
day care worker (owner according to her) who makes a lot of noise
about amalgam toxicity. She is not a dentist, has no training in dentistry,
and does not really understand scientific methods. In addition, she flat
out refuses to engage in any discussion about this issue even when the
specific point of discussion does not contradict her own point of view. She
cannot
communicate much beyond pasting the words of other people to responses, even
when the quotes do not apply to what is being said. She, also, does not give
any credit
to the person from which she takes these quotations. Her behaviour is
very similar to a software program designed to post specific remarks
to key words. Please be cautious if you choose to follow any advice
presented by her.

Recognize that her views do NOT reflect those of modern dentistry. Her
views mirror those of dishonest people who survive by preying on the
innocent. If you watch and read carefully, you will see her accuse anyone
who does not agree with all her views (uneducated as they may be) of being a
liar. When that does not get enough attention, she will resort to calling
people "heifer", "Jew-boy", Atheist, queer, etc. Her behaviour is certainly
not civil nor compassionate.

If you read exactly what her claims are in regard to amalgam toxicity, you
will find that her claims do not make scientific sense. She claims to have
been healed of neurological defects during the time that her bodily mercury
levels would have been at their highest. If she really had mercury
toxicity, she should have been more ill during this time, not feeling better
than she had in many years. She is either badly mistaken, or she is lying
about what made her ill.

Even those individuals who would like to see amalgam banned from use, find
her posting methods and refusal to discuss any topics despicable.

Please recognize that there are far more people sensitive to Penicillin,
latex, peanuts, and even to bananas than there are people sensitive to
dental amalgam and the metals it contains. None of those materials have
been banned, nor will they be banned in the future.

It came out blank because there are no dangers with amalgam.
