Complaint filed w. U.S. Inspector-General: Investigate FDA Commissioner’s Ethics

Aiding and abetting those who want to deceive American consumers, FDA even blesses the marketing of amalgam under the deceptive term “silver fillings.” In bad faith, FDA removed from its consumer website the advisory they promised, in writing, to post: Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetuses.”
Undue influence took over this rule. It’s time to determine whether this outrage is connected to Commissioner
