5.0 out of 5 stars An Opus! The work we have been waiting for., June 12, 2004

This review is from: Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life (Hardcover)

As a dentist, I have been advising patients to rid themselves of their mercury amalgams and, in the wake of Dr.Yiamouyiannis' research years ago, to avoid all exposure to fluoride. Unfortunately, in the US today, any professional advising similarly risks losing their practicing license to the local Board. Further, the thimerosol(mercury preservative) question with children's vaccinations has been buried mostly in the face of corporation and organized medicine's refusal to allow the issue proper publicity and debate. Due to the structure of the corporate universe, the serious, debilitating and life-threatening issues raised by Dr. Blaylock have been pushed to the dark corners of the alternative medical community to keep alive. Dr. Blaylock here shifts the tables. This book is a must-read for all health practitioners, be we allopathic or "complementary", and will become an empowerment to us in the face of official attempts to bury our criticisms. I have written to Dr. Blaylock and proposed better marketing and, perhaps, a title change in an attempt to give this work the readership it deserves, but for now, READ THIS BOOK! and you will change your world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book by Dr. Blaylock, April 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life (Hardcover)

Bar None, this is the best book I have ever read on nutrition and health maintenance. Over the years, I have read some negative articles about aspartame, mercury, lead, MSG, aluminum, dental amalgam, and fluoride, but this book is far more comprehensive on those subjects. Dr. Blaylock gives the reader detailed, scientific explanations of what these hazardous substances do, and how to counter them with supplements, vitamins, and paying attention to what you eat and drink.

For example, after reading the chapter on fluoride, I installed a 5-stage reverse osmosis water filter under my kitchen sink that removes fluoride from the water, threw out all the fluoride toothpaste in the house, and bought fluoride-free toothpaste.

In these 549 pages, including 558 references to scientific studies and reviews, the author presents new insights on many substances, including the totally unnecessary fluoridation of water in the U.S. and the 60 years of untruths from the ADA and Government about cavities, and of the ADA's adamant insistence that the mercury fillings in our mouths are safe!

Dr. Blaylock has the courage to tell us the truth, and this book is a tribute to all of us and our health.
