The anti-amalgam movement
never stops. They are so large, so informed, so organized, that that
they span six time zones in the US alone - which means they can constantly
keep up a barrage of assaults. And, they do.
Which pleases me.
I'm not criticizing them when I
say "they take the high road," in their strategies and tactics.
I do want to mention that their opposition lives on the "low road," and
does not hesitate to use low road tactics. A few years ago, when I was
having dinner with some of their West Coast team I was asked how I would
organize an assault, and I responded with the following:
"I'd
hire a Private Detective firm, with a video camera, to follow around a
specific dentist, one of those who owns one of those "dental mills" churning
out mercury fillings to childrn on welfare. I'd gather evidence of this
dentist's extracurricular activities involving his twelve-year-old mistress on
his boat, and her recent, paid-for-by-the-dentist, boob job, enlarging her
breasts to 44 double D. Then I'd have the group sue the dentist over
mercury amalgams and make sure the news media got copies of the video."
Stunned, the West Coast
team asked me if I knew of such a dentist. I responded:
No, but think about what
I just said. Think about the type of person, in this day and age, who
would install that much mercury into the mouths of children. They're the
same kind of people who would have, not only a twelve-year-old mistress, but
absolutely would want her to have 44 double D boobs. Want to find one?
Look around."
They're still on the high
road.
Why are they so intent on victory?
A dentist in the anti-amalgam
movement explained it to me this way:
"Tim,
think about what happens when the first mercury amalgam filling is installed
in a ten-year-old child's mouth. That mercury begins to leak into the
body immediately causing serious problems. You've begun a cycle of bad
health that that person will never recover from."
High road, or low road, I
wish the anti-amalgam movement the best. America should be grateful they're
here. I am.
Stay tuned...
