Re: Jerry E Bouquot and Biological Dentists make the LA Times June 18th



I have no idea what is going on in reality, however I can't say I am
particularly enthusiastic about a statement like this:

Federal regulators and the American Dental Assn., a professional
organization that sets standards but has no enforcement power, say
there is no evidence that silver, or amalgam, fillings cause illnesses.
The fillings are still widely used across the globe.

Well do a Google..

So if there is a group of dentists who don't ahere to rigidity like
this that would be nice.

Then the article goes on talking about normal dentists:

The board's nine investigators oversee more than 34,000 licensed
dentists and investigate about 3,000 complaints a year, including
allegations of negligence.

Talking about biological dentists:

"We know they are out there and that they practice differently," Lane
said of holistic dentists. But she added, "We don't get enough
complaints, and until we get a complaint from the consumer, we don't
know what is going on."

The article contains a welcome warning, just don't take it out of
proportion.
