Mercury Study

(Picture by ROSHAN SINGH) What a beautiful poison!!



I received this in one of my newsletters.. I'm sharing it with you.


Mercury Girls

They mixed mercury with their bare hands. They spilled it on the floor. They heated it over open fire. This was the daily routine for 10.000 Norwegian dental-assistants until the mid -80`s.
Nobody told them it was dangerous. The authorities assumed the mercury levels were low. Today many of the women are ill, and unable to work. They have classical symptoms of neurological damage caused by mercury but never the less the health care system treats them as mentally ill.

This is the unknown story of the dental-assistants, and the children they gave birth to after handling mercury every day.

The Norwegian government has initiated a research-project based on these documentaries
Release year: 2006

Mercury Children

They are born with birth defects. Some get depressions and unexplainable pain in their bodies
Others tell a story of severe learning-difficulties. The doctors have not been able to tell them why they are ill. But they have one thing in common. Their mothers worked as dental nurses during their pregnancies. They were daily exposed to extremely high levels of mercury.

It is a scientific fact that mercury is transported from mother to fetus. This documentary is based on the story of 400 dental nurses. These women phoned the journalists after the documentary "The mercury girls" was sent in Norway. The women talked about their children, and the journalists discovered a pattern. The data was discussed with scientists at the University of Bergen, which confirmed that this was concerning and new information.

A fresh study of dental nurses in New Zealand shows the same tendency. The children are ill, and in addition, 25 % of the dental-assistants have had a hysterectomy, caused by severe bleedings.

See Michael Bender's slides on the Mercury Girls and Mercury Children on the FDA website. This was part of the presentation on mercury at the FDA hearings on dental amalgam on Sept 6th and 7th.
