link about Chet and the CA Dental Board



Bill,

I did find one link, here is the version of events according
to the website:

http://www.toxicteeth.org/natCamp_stateGovt_CA_hearing_Jan2604.cfm

Here is the specific part about Dr. Yokoyama and the fact ***:

Chet explained that, after the entire board twice approved the new and
improved fact *** (8 to1 and 8 to 0) and the Department of Consumer
Affairs had agreed and the Dental Board President promised to release
the fact *** in December of 2003, he was fired from his position as
Chairman of Dental Materials Fact *** Committee and every other
dentist on the board was appointed to the committee with Lawrence
Hundley as Chair. Ariane Trelet (The other Pro-Mercury committee
member) mysteriously produced a whole new fact *** that looked
suspiciously like the ADA's position on amalgam. Charlie Brown points
out and has sued to correct the fact that the committee is unlawful
under the rules of California since a quorum of board members now
serves on one committee. That committee is set to meet at 9 AM Thursday
January 29th in Sacramento at the Marriott Rancho Cordova. (Dr. Kennedy
predicts the ADA fact *** will be approved 8 to 1). Chet complained
that he had spent over a year getting the present version into the
condition that it was and felt betrayed by the board in this 11th hour
coup. He said the CDA brought in a supposed expert from the National
Council Against Health Fraud who has never published anything
scientific in the field of mercury who wrote a letter that claimed the
Prop 65 statement was false and misleading.
