Huggins is the point man for the third war against dental mercury, and the book is excellent. The ADA is a national disgrace, as is the FDA. But that's another story. The cost to our country in the needless suffering of our populace due to the use of dental mercury amalgam (outlawed in many other countries) is enormous. You owe it to yourself to read this book.

This book is amazing. It was easy to read and understand. It also gives enough information to make an (pardon the pun) informed choice. That is what irks me the most, we are not told anything about what a dentist is doing, he/she just does it. I was never told that there was mercury in my fillings. I was given a root canal by a dentist and he did not even tell me that was what he was doing. When I found out several years later I was outraged. I have lost alot of respect for the dental profession on the whole. I also had a crown that produced a green line in my gum, numerous dentists had seen it and guess what only one ( a mercury free one) told me that I had inflamation. That is disgraceful. I had that crown removed and guess what within minutes the green went away.
I have had all of the mercury removed from my mouth. Upon removal of the last 3 amalgams my hot flashes ceased that day. My periods that I did not have resumed 3 weeks later. My body temperature went to normal. I can sleep restfully at night. I don't get up several times in the evening to go to the bathroom. My quality of life has increased. I don't feel as foggy headed or forgetful. I even reduced some of my thyroid medication. So for those who want to call us ignorant or ill informed I will have the last laugh with a strong immune shystem and good health.
Anyone who seriously thinks that this is hocus pocus needs prayers to enlighten themselves especially the dentists who are slowly poisoning thier patients.

I think the authors are definitely onto something here -- the clinical results are just too consistent to conclude otherwise. Like many health concerns, dental toxicity is an area where it is highly unlikely that significant research will ever be funded because it is prevention-oriented, so any direct cause and effect relationship is also not likely to be determined. But the remission of conditions -- many considered incurable -- following dental revision protocol would lead any logical, thinking person to conclude that mercury amalgams are, for some percentage of the population, dangerously toxic. Just don't hold your breath waiting for the ADA or the AMA to see the light and fess up.
This book is clearly written and easy to read, and organized so the interested reader will be able to search for relevant sections. The science is presented at a level that educated readers will be able to grasp, for those who want that depth, and simplified for those who seek a general understanding of the issues.

Dr. Huggins graduated from the University of Nebraska School of Dentistry in 1962 and received a master of science degree from the University of Colorado in 1989. He is no quack, he is a crusader for health.
There is abundant scientific evidence that amalgam fillings are a danger to health. Dental amalgam is 50% mercury. Mercury is the most toxic metal known to man. Just look at the information from The International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology at [...].
Also consider that the Swedish Dental Material Commission recommended that amalgam be banned in 2002 - download the report from [...]. They commented that "The use of amalgam has been identified as the single largest source of mercury in sewage sludge, and crematoria are a large source of emissions to air in Sweden.". So how the hell does mercury get into people's faeces without passing through the body first ?
Dentists who deny that amalgam is harmful are either ignoramuses or liars - it's really that simple. They lie because they do not want to get served with class action lawsuits from all the people made sick from their amalgam fillings. That's the same reason why the governments stand by the dentists (Sweden excepted).
