Product Description:
 
Dr. James Rota is a pioneer in holistic dentistry. After 50 years in dentistry, he is sharing his uncommon story about biological dentistry, the dangers of mercury fillings, and what you can do to save yourself and to stop the madness of mercury in dentistry.

Dr. Rota answers questions that the American Dental Association may not want you to ask:

  1. Why don't dentists know or speak about mercury in the dental filling?
  2. How are teeth connected to the rest of the body?
  3. What is the scientific basis for the position of both the ADA and anti-mercury filling groups?
  4. How are "silver" dental fillings related to chronic diseases?

Mercury - a highly toxic element - has played a central theme in Dr. Rota’s life, from his childhood and throughout his dental career. "Silver" fillings contain 50 percent mercury. It made him sick, causing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, burnout, depression and Epstein-Barr Syndrome, among other diseases.

As one of many people hoping to ban the use of mercury in dentistry, Dr. Rota stands by the importance of safe mercury removal protocols. Mirror of the Body chronicles his life, delving deep into the Amalgam Wars and scientific evidence, offering dentists, health professionals, and consumers an expert and revelatory view on the toxins in dentistry and their effect on the rest of the body.

Author Information

James E. Rota DDS is not your average dentist. As one of the first biological dentists in the Los Angeles area, he treated high profile patients in his holistic dental practice for more than 50 years. Dr. Rota progressed from serving as an assistant professor in the newly formed UCLA School of Dentistry in 1963, to finding the connection between the teeth and organs that share an energetic pathway - acknowledging that the health of the mouth is a mirror of the health of the rest of the body.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Important exposé of the dangers of mercury fillings, December 13, 2015
By Iona Main Stewart
I received this book free in return for a review.

The author here tells us of his own health challenges owing to mercury poisoning, and points out the absolute toxicity of mercury, which has been known for countless years.

In the beginning of his career he performed mercury fillings like any other dentist, since the American Dental Association (ADA) has constantly assured the public of their safety.

When Dr. Rota eventually came to understand the dangers of amalgam fillings (which are 50% mercury), he stopped using them and continued his career as a biological dentist.

Mercury fillings poison the whole body, giving rise to various diseases and symptoms that few realize have anything to do with their teeth and what they contain,

Mercury vapour, which is emitted from mercury fillings during dental procedures, chewing, brushing teeth and breathing, is absorbed into the lungs and the mercury is transported to the kidneys, liver, and brain.

The mouth absorbs mercury through the roots, bones and gums.

The ADA has continuously deceived the public about mercury, claiming it is harmless, though thousands of studies have documented its toxicity,

Prenatal mercury exposure from maternal dental amalgam has been shown to cause stillbirths and early post-natal deaths.

The ADA has continued to state that mercury filings are safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers, even though mercury clearly passes to the foetus and newborn.

In the course of his career, the author has presented decisive evidence of the toxicity of mercury fillings, but his findings have been suppressed by the dental authorities and the powers that be.

Mercury poisoning due to mercury fillings gives rise to a wide range of psychological and central nervous system conditions, head, neck and oral cavity disorders, systemic effects, immunological symptoms, and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and endocrine effects.

Dr. Rota was severely affected by mercury poisoning but has detoxified himself in various ways, including rebounding, colon cleansing, intake of glutathione, green foods and supplementations such as chlorella, spirulina, cilantro, garlic, etc. Fish and seafood containing high amounts of mercury must of course be avoided.

In short, the author provides us with an exposé and prolific scientific documentation of the vast dangers of mercury and how American dentistry causes mercury poisoning both by its insistence on continuing the use of mercury fillings and denial of the dangers.

It shocks me that the use of mercury fillings is still continued in the U.S. despite the fact that their toxicity was documented years ago.
Firstly, the ADA is to blame for deliberately suppressing the truth of the matter. Secondly, the dentists are to blame for continuing to use this poison, even though it also affects their own health, Thirdly, the general public is to blame. Each individual needs to take charge of his or her own health, and refuse to be treated with mercury. In the final end the responsibility always lies with the individual.

I myself live in Denmark, where the use of mercury fillings was banned some years ago. And many years before that I had refused to accept further mercury fillings, and had my existing ones removed.

Years ago, I developed MS and severe migraine following dental treatment with mercury fillings, and now also have scleroderma. I am presently working on detoxification of my body of all the mercury inflicted on my system by dentists.

I find this book to be absolutely an important contribution to our knowledge of the matter, owing to its information about the toxicity of mercury and methods by which to flush it from our bodies. Read this book if you have mercury fillings or are likely to get any, and make sure your children avoid this poison. Mercury fillings will eventually be banned, but in the meantime we must ourselves take responsibility for refusing them.

This is a well-written, informative, important, and perhaps essential book on the dangers of mercury fillings.

By Ann C.
Dr. Rota was my dentist for many years, and I am so grateful to have found him! He was a wonderful and caring dentist. This book gives insight into his early recognition of the toxicity of mercury in silver dental fillings, and his determination to create awareness of this issue. He was a true pioneer in the field of holistic dentistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Fascinating Read and Vitally Important, November 25, 2015
By Sheri Fogarty
Health and wellness have always been important areas of study and life practice for me. I do believe if we are healthy, everything else in our life is easier. I have known basics about mercury toxicity, and have slowly over the years gotten all of my mercury fillings replace but I did not know the details.

This book is brilliant. Dr. Rota tells the story of his life experiences with mercury both personally and as a dentist and his health issues because of the same. This book is chock full of information about mercury, how to remove it, how to find a good mercury free dentist and how to detoxify yourself if need be.

This book is recommended to anyone who has ever had or has mercury fillings and is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Insightful, informative, thought provoking and at times even humorous, November 25, 2015
By A Customer
For those not in the know... "silver" amalgam fillings contain roughly 50% elemental mercury which continually off-gases mercury vapor at levels higher than safety limits. The vast majority of dentists in this country would swear on their Mother's lives that once mixed the mercury is contained within the amalgam filling.

Luckily we have this book to thank for showing us that nothing could be further from the truth.

Dr. James Rota, one of the pioneers of the mercury safe dental movement has written an extraordinary account of his personal journey from being a mercury using dentist, who promoted the safety of mercury dental fillings as a professor at UCLA, to his eventual evolution into a biological dentist who practiced mercury safe dentistry.

Along the way we learn of Dr. Rota's life threatening health challenges brought about by his occupational exposure to mercury and the various things he has done over the years to mitigate not only his exposure but to regain his health as well.

And for those who might be skeptical about the subject of mercury from dental fillings causing harm, there is a book chapter specifically to walk you through the history and science of mercury dental fillings.

This book is well researched with references and it will allow the reader to grasp how mercury can devastate the health of all exposed individuals and the environment I think you'll agree that this book should be required reading for all dentists who are falsely promoting mercury as a safe restorative material.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  An enjoyable book about dentistry, dental politics, and health, November 23, 2015
By A Customer
Highly recommend this book. Very easy to read. Well researched information, and very helpful for making dental choices that may affect overall health. Not your typical book about dentistry or health. The general public needs to know this information.
