ANITA VAZQUEZ TIBAU

For over two decades, Anita Vazquez Tibau diligently continues her International Advocacy and Activism, which include her published works and speaking engagements dedicated to the “Global Ban on Toxic Mercury.” Of Puerto Rican heritage, Anita is deeply immersed in ensuring all Latin American countries are also included in her educational process. She has parlayed her passion for social justice into changing “toxic substance” laws and has therefore dedicated her life as a spokesperson, panelist, advisor, policy activist, grassroots organizer, and wellness conference coordinator.

In 2002, she went to the United Nations Global Mercury Assessment, which was the precursor to the Minamata Convention on Mercury Treaty. Ms. Vazquez – Tibau has been an active participant in the treaty process since the beginning, working with delegates around the world. In addition to writing and submitting research and text recommendations during the treaty process, she wrote and delivered the closing remarks of the treaty (2013) on behalf of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqs-ysNUB9I

She and Dr. Blanche Grube had the opportunity to present their scientific posters at the International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP) in Rhode Island (2017) and Krakow, Poland (2019). As a writer and a researcher, Ms. Vazquez- Tibau has had many articles published in the United States and abroad, many of which have been translated into multiple languages. One of their most recent peer-reviewed published papers, “Mercury Contamination from Dental Amalgam”, was widely distributed at the last meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) 3, which is the continuation of the now in force Minamata Convention. Joining forces with Dr. Blanche, they are committed to educating and are continuing to work on a global ban on mercury in dental amalgam.

She is a Researcher at the Center for Environmental and Toxicological Research University of Puerto Rico.

Blanche D. Grube, DMD has been practicing dentistry for over 40 years, however, it wasn’t until she met Dr. Hal Huggins author of the groundbreaking book, It’s All In Your Head, that she became immersed in biological dentistry. Dr. Huggins not only mentored Dr. Blanche, but he also chose her to carry his torch on biological dentistry, out into the world. Prior to his passing, they developed the Huggins-Grube Protocol that includes Full Dental Revisions. The Huggins-Grube Protocol continues to be refined and enhanced, by Dr. Blanche.
