Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Sweden and Germany have already banned or heavily restricted the use of mercury-silver amalgam fillings for teeth, and Austria, Denmark, and Finland are planning to do so by 2000. Hardy has not used such an amalgam in 15 years. He points out that mercury has long been recognized as dangerous in many body areas and questions why, then, it has been accepted for 160 years as safe for dental work. Fillings made from composite resins, although somewhat more expensive and time-consuming to use, should, he says, be placed in all new cavities and in many cases should be substituted for present amalgam fillings. The American Dental Association and many dentists remain pro-amalgam, Hardy asserts, because of unwillingness to change, higher profits, and fear of litigation. A cogent argument, thoroughly documented. William Beatty --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for everyone!, November 6, 1999

This review is from: Mercury Free: The Wisdom Behind the Global Consumer Movement to Ban Silver Dental Fillings (Library Binding)

Information that EVERYONE should read! 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 Dr. James E. Hardy for speaking out against one of America's most blatantly deceptive organizations in our country, the American Dental Association. He is very thorough in explaining the incredible and numerous effects of "mercury" fillings on the individual,our society and the environment. 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!

A very informative book! You should not only read this one but any other on the subject of toxic mercury (a/k/a silver) fillings. Wake up! You have been warned by numerous books on the topic!
