dentistry

can often get a person into trouble. I don't know who wrote the 1 star reviews - presumably dentists, or morons who think that modern science is trustworthy.

I was a dental assistant in the military in the US, and what I do know is that many substances that dentists use are toxic, particulary that old standby, flouride, which is a derivative of aluminum and may in fact be responsible for the rise in Alzheimers cases in this country.

As a dental assistant, I was required to take any extra mercury amalgam and put it into a cup of glycerine. This is in order that the mercury fumes won't escape as quickly and overexpose the staff (including Dr. Pain himself). One then wonders why the dental community doesn't mind sticking this stuff in your mouth, forever.

Another danger is overexposure to x-rays - did you ever wonder why the assistant gets the hell out of the room and behind protective cover when taking your x-ray? Yes, overexposure - but we still don't know how much is too much.

This book needs to be read by dental patients everywhere, because whenever one gets any sort of medical treatment, in addition to the hoped for outcome of improvement, they are also exposing themselves to all sorts of additional risks.

You are only receiving 10% of the information here. There are many people who can say that they removed their mercury fillings and their cancer disappeared. But were they receiving other forms of treatment or did they simply take the fillings out. Amalgam fillings are put in using high speed suction which takes up all the debris and then sealed so no mercury seeps out. A lot of doctors are now using rubber dams to further diminish the possibility of exposure. As for orthodontic concerns with braces. Do the research. Braces stretch the bone which causes much discomfort which yes can throw the body off balance for a short period of time. This is not due to electrical impulses, this is from the bone stretching and growing. The age old term "growing pains" would be used if it weren't for the metal in the child's mouth. If you do the research you will find the same results. Just remember, people will write anything to sell books. Would you buy a book that says "Trust your dentist, he is all knowing". Of course not.

Come on people, let's get real. How many scientific articles (well controlled studies) were used in this book. The answer is none! The segment of the population with cancer, cystic fibrosis, MS etc is completely equal when controlling for the variable of "mercury" silver amalgams. So using this idiot's logic, silver fillings should also be said to prevent disease. It is sad to see a man using poor science to get peoples hopes up, just to make some money!
