MALAYSIAN DENTISTS’ Integrity At Stake
for toeing the line of the Malaysian Dental Association (MDA),
whose role model is the American Dental Association (ADA).
The History of Amalgam
In the 1600s, the Chinese used a “silver paste” consisting of mercury to fill decayed teeth.
In the 1800s, England & France jumped on the bandwagon to use amalgam.
In the 1830s, amalgam was introduced to North America.
In 1845, the American Society of Dental Surgeons banned the use of amalgam.
1856 saw the decline of the American Society of Dental Surgeons.
In 1859, the American Dental Association (ADA) was formed to advocate the use of amalgam as a safe & desirable dental filling material.
Till this day the ADA’s mission is to doggedly defend their belief that amalgam is safe, despite losing control of 16 States where dentists have to obtain informed consent from patients before using amalgam on them. The ADA is still fighting like a bad loser.
The Evils of ADA (Shame on you!)
1.By calling SILVER dental fillings, the ADA deceives consumers into thinking that amalgam fillings are made of silver, when in fact the major component of such fillings is MERCURY (about 50%). It is fraudulent in many American States to misrepresent a product this way. (Silver in amalgam is between 25 to 35%)
2.The ADA has taken money from amalgam manufacturers, & chosen to promote the interests of amalgam manufacturers over the interests of their own members & their patients. www.khorrami.com (Law Offices of Shawn Khorrami)
3.The ADA has a vested economic interest by holding patents on amalgam & therefore has concealed the dangers of amalgam.(US Patents 4018600 & 4078921)
4.When challenged on the dangers of amalgam, the ADA stated their legal position as: The ADA owes no legal duty of care to protect the public from allegedly dangerous products used by dentists. The ADA did not manufacture, design, supply or install the mercury-containing amalgams. The ADA does not control those who do.” (ADA washes its hands of)
5.The ADA’s infamous “GAG ORDER”: Dentists who recommend the removal of mercury fillings for health reasons can lose their licences to practise dentistry. (This was later proven in court to be an unconstitutional abridgement of free speech)
6.More than 1400 studies found in professional journals were concerned with the toxic effects of amalgam. The ADA could not come up with one study to prove that amalgam is safe. Yet it keeps on asserting that amalgam is a safe material, because it has been used for over 150 years, a position that is hardly scientific.
7.The stubbornness, greed & pride of the ADA have caused immense sufferings to millions of people around the world who have been poisoned by mercury.
8.For decades, dentists have been assuring us that amalgam does not leak mercury. Recently, Judges in 16 Courts across America are satisfied with overwhelming evidence that amalgam leaks mercury; but the ADA is still trying to conceal that fact.
CAN MALAYSIAN DENTISTS ALLOW THE ADA TO RUIN THEIR INTEGRITY?
IT’S TIME FOR THE MDA TO DISSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM THE ADA & WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH THAT AMALGAM LEAKS MERCURY & TO STOP POISONING PATIENTS WHO TRUST THEM
