Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Dentist Huggins has led the fight to alert the public and health professionals to the dangers of using mercury in the amalgams used to fill teeth. Here he describes his battle with the American Dental Association and the results of his research studies. After explaining mercury toxicity, he describes such conditions as neurological and immunological diseases that can result from this toxicity. His discussion also includes the diagnosis of mercury toxicity and the pros and cons of having mercury amalgam fillings removed. He indicates that there are often no definitive answers in the diagnostic process and that the final proof of mercury toxicity is whether the patient feels better when mercury fillings are removed. A useful if very detailed look at a continuing health controversy. Karen Graves

5.0 out of 5 stars All who have (or have had) teeth will greatly benefit ...., June 4, 1999

This review is from: It's All in Your Head: The Link Between Mercury Amalgams and Illness (Mass Market Paperback)

Mercury in any form is a poison. That truth is learned by many individuals at an early age. What isn't readily available information however, is the fact that mercury is used in ALL metal dental fillings (incorrectly referred to as "silver fillings"). Why the American Dental Association (ADA) wants the public to think mercury is magically rendered harmless when placed in dental fillings (in the mouth) is a very thought provoking question, not to mention, scary... This book addresses mercury fillings in the mouth along with a few other really great tidbits you'll be glad you learned about...

Don't forget to also read "Uninformed Consent", Dr. Huggins latest 1999 book release.

Fortunately, I met Dr. Huggins back in 1983 when I had no idea what was wrong with me and I was sleeping 15 hours a day and each day I felt like I had just pulled an all-nighter at college...The medical folks told me I was either pregnant or I needed a shrink. Luckily for me they were wrong on both counts... All I needed was to have the mercury removed (correctly) from my mouth and subsequently from my body. (Body detoxification lasts for the rest of your life). Thank you again Dr. Huggins!

This review is from: It's All in Your Head: The Link Between Mercury Amalgams and Illness (Mass Market Paperback)

Dr. Huggins takes us on a eye opening tour of mercury toxicity at its worst and how are lives can be changed if we are willing to heed his advice.

After competing in a marathon I noticed that I had absolutely no desire to exercise. Having been an athlete all my life this was a little scary. When I started taking 5 naps a day and would forget simple things like meals, I knew I had a problem. My homeopath had "It's All In Your Head" and suggested I read it. I was amazed at the coverup the ADA has managed to get away with all these years. Luckily for us Doc Huggins has dedicated his life to getting the word out about the dangers of mercury toxicity.

After reading this book you should check out his website Hugnet. com and learn more about dental revision. I had mine done a year ago at his clinic in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and feel great. I now nap when I want to, not because I have to, have no more brain fog, and am starting to slowly get back into an exercise program.

So, read the book, research the website, and get those amalgams removed and replaced by a material compatible with 'your' body and get on with your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Information that EVERYONE should read!, November 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: It's All in Your Head: The Link Between Mercury Amalgams and Illness (Mass Market Paperback)

After being diagnosed with high mercury levels from my doctor, I have been researching the devastating effects of mercury poisoning. I am so thankful for pioneers like Dr. Huggins to speak out against one of America's most blatantly deceptive organizations in our country, the American Dental Association. Even if you don't have "silver" fillings, this does effect you on a daily basis, you just don't know it. Read this book and others to find out how. Give it to those you love with "silver" fillings, and find a "Mercury Free" dentist to remove them properly!
