Deborah Sampson vs. Goliath: Help Sharon Make History by Passing Article 24 at Town Meeting

Deborah Sampson v Goliath: Help Sharon Make History on Article 24 - Call for Surgeon General Report on Mercury Health Risks

Come to Sharon Town Meeting May 5-6th and stay for Article 24, likely Tuesday night May 6th, to cast your vote on shining some sunshine on the biggest hidden health issue in Sharon, in Massachusetts, and in the United States.  Other nations have figured this out and have banned dental amalgam and restrict its use or warn people and require informed written consent for its use.  The FDA gives us no labels, no warnings, no number to call, and no right of written informed consent for installation of a medical device with neurotoxic mercury. 

Our politicians in DC are too busy fighting about health care insurance, financing and ideology instead of fighting for health. 

Dental amalgam is the official name for "silver" fillings, which are 50% mercury, and off-gas toxic mercury vapor with heat, chewing and grinding. Our regulatory agencies are doing what they were set up to do, approve industry products.  There is a logjam, a huge gap on amalgam.  Unlike the AMA, the ADA is a commercial and trade association, with 83 patents in the last 38 years, and it acts to protect its commercial and trade interests. The ADA held patents on dental amalgam until the mid 1990s. Patents filed by all parties on dental amalgam since 2002 are for mitigating its harm to the environment via wastewater and crematoria.

Whatever you believe about the health risks or safety of amalgam - given that new peer-reviewed journal articles show porphyrin changes and neurobehavioral damage to boys with certain gene types - do you want you and your dentist to be the last to know?  Women with genetic glitches are at risk of health impacts as they age, and hormone and immune levels fall.

We ask everyone to deny the fiction that national issues do not impact us locally, and what happens in Sharon has to stay in Sharon.  Imagine if Deborah Samson had put up her heels and knit, instead of fighting for her rights, and all of those who came after her.
