I thought it was great news when Jenny McCarthy (yes, that Jenny McCarthy) appeared on Oprah last year talking about autism and how a few mumbo-jumbo biomedical treatments cured her son.  And now she's using her celebrity in such a positive way!

Maybe she can jump on the anti-amalgam bandwagon as well?  Consumers for Dental Choice sure would love the help pointing out that mom's of autistic kids are 4,976 times more likely to have mercury amalgams than mother's of non-autisitics.

Ok, I completely fabricated that last stat, but mercury amalgams (aka. "silver fillings") in mommy's mouth HAS to add to the toxic load of Junior since we know that cord blood levels of mercury are elevated in moms with amalgams compared to moms without.

Is There any Hope for the Dietary Supplement Industry?

(Posted by Patrick Sullivan Jr.)

Marc Ulman is one of the most respected lawyers in the Dietary Supplement business.  Among dozens of other accomplishments and accolades, he is the lead counsel of the Dietary Supplement Education Alliance, which is how I met him.

Yesterday he wrote Attacks on the Industry — How Should We Respond? questioning how to best respond to two recent attacks on the Dietary Supplement Industry.

I posted the following comment to that post (don't know why it's showing up as private comment??):

Good question Marc.  I contest that the long-term answer is what kept my company (Jigsaw Health) from being approved as a member of DSEA -- un-redacted customer product reviews on the same page as the Buy Now button.

Allow me to explain...
