Complete and well researched, September 25, 2009

I am appalled at the cover up of our helath care system in order to continue with huge profits and "0" responsibility. This is true for not only denistry but for health care in general. Medical schools are literally run by the drug companies who "donate" (or should I say bribe)huge amounts of money for research that is tilted in their favor. First of all I listen to people like Dr. Huggins to prevent disease, but if I ever get cancer anyway; I would "run not walk" to Mexico where people are free to use any form of treatment they want. Thank you Dr. Huggins and Levy for the courage to speak up while standing all alone in front of the powerful ADA. If it were not for people like you, we would have no chance in this country to prevent or stop these monstrous diseases that are becoming epidemic. This book is well worth every penny and I would pay a $100 for it to give to family and friends. Get this book, and follow it's advice!

Sound Science, May 14, 2009

This might be the most depressing book I have ever read, but it is also one of the most important. Its implications are profoundly disheartening, and the alternatives are not attractive. Huggins offers no easy solutions--even extractions can cause serious problems. But facts must be faced. The good news is that some incurable diseases might not be incurable. If you think this is quackery, consider the testimony of Dr. Josef Issels, who cured incurables at his cancer clinic in Bavaria: "We have now seen how decisively the entire organism is affected by dental foci not properly treated, and what catastrophic results destruction of the pulp may entail. Dentists must, therefore, bear in mind that there is no root treatment which does not invariably produce foci." Dr. Issels, who was no quack, agreed that all devitalized teeth must be extracted and excavated, all the way down to the bone. And the evidence against mercury is undeniable. If dentists agree that mercury removed from teeth is hazardous waste, how can they argue that it is not toxic in the mouth?

The Facts That Enable You To Make An Informed Choice, January 4, 2009

Before you have a root canal or mercury filling placed in your mouth, you owe it to yourself to read this book. If you already have one or more root canals, mercury (amalgam) fillings in your mouth snd are endevouring to gain back your lost health, you will find this book a God send. The book gives specifics about various illnesses caused by toxins in your mouth, which act as systemic poisons. In this well written, thorough, but easy to understand book, "Uninformed Consent: The Hidden Dangers In Dental Care", Dr. Huggins doesn't very often quote from other people's dental research, he quotes from his own! Just like our mutual health hero, Weston A. Price, Dr. Huggins is an outstanding researcher and pioneer in the field of dentistry. He cares about people enough to buck the dental establishment, which has reaped him much disdain and some negative consequences. The many people helped by him sing Dr. Huggins praises, while those threatened by the truth malign him. Doing root canals is a lucrative business for oral surgeons and the loss of revenue is a war cry. I very much appreciated the chapter on nickel, which Huggins says is the most cancer causing substance around. It isn't just mercury that is extremely toic, but other metals, such as copper, lead, and nickel are also extremely toxic. You don't want any of these metals in your mouth. Although not mentioned in the book, fluoride is one of the most toxic substances known to man. Before WWII it was used as rat and roach poison, but since it is the only gas reactive enough to spilt uranium atoms in two, it enabled us to produce atomic energy during the second world war. During the cold war with the Russians, totally flawed research showed that it supposedly prevented tooth decay, and the push was on to make fluoride look healthy and not the roach poison that it is. For more on this important subject go to the Fluoride Action Network and also read Christopher Bryson's well written book, "The Fluoride Conspiracy." I also appreciated the chapters in Hguggin's book on root canals, cavitations, and also the one on proper dental detoxification. As it did me, it will undoubtedly surprise you to learn that research has shown that the toxins in the dentin tubules of root canaled teeth and caviation sites are way more toxic than even mercury. They are the most toxic substance yet discovered. I also highly recommend that you read the best book ever written on nutrition, "Nutrition & Physical Degeneration, by Dr. Weston A. Price. The fabulous pictures of helathy verses unhealthy faces is worth the price of the book.

Your Dentist or Teeth May Be Making You Sick, December 22, 2008

Recently the FDA was forced to state that mercury in amalgam fillings may leak or contribute towards disease. This vindicates Dr. Huggins tireless campaign to point out the facts. #1. Mercury vapor does come out of fillings daily. Mercury fillings called "silver" fillings contain 50% mercury, and about 15% silver. They also contain copper. #2. Crowns and root canals have been correlated with diseases like Multiple Sclerosis, and Leukemia. So we have children suffering from a difficult cancer, and Dr. Huggins book is the second book to point to the fact that heavy metals in dental materials used in children, which includes nickel and aluminum has been tied to Leukemia. Here is the issue. Many people are having their immune systems challenged by mercury fillings, by toxins formed in root canal sealed teeth, which creates a deadly environment, and by being poisoned from heavy metals from crowns or other dental procedures. And they don't know this. The only small thing missing from this book, is that our body can detoxify the heavy metals, when we are very healthy. So not everyone needs to remove all their mercury fillings. But, if you have a significant disease, like Alzheimers, or multiple sclerosis, the disease was caused or significantly contributed to by the dental materials poisoning your body daily. The title of the book is perfect. UNINFORMED CONSENT. Dental materials were put into our mouths, that are not good for us. This is dreadfully wrong and completely ignorant for dentists to do. Our modern culture then claims to have all these incurable diseases, and fails to look at the obvious fact that our bodies were not designed to constantly deal with relatively large amounts of highly toxic heavy metals that are used in cheap, or lower cost dental materials. Modern conventional dentistry may be contributing to the early death, and severe debilitation of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. If the true cause of dental disease was addressed, a deficiency of nutrients, and an imbalance in the glandular system (in part imbalanced from heavy metals), then people would not need to have their teeth drilled, and synthetic materials placed into their mouths in the first place. Until this change occurs, your "routine" dental treatment may have life altering consequences. If you need a new dental treatment, please seek out someone who uses biocompatible materials, that are known not to leech heavy metals. IF you have a severe and chronic illness, a dental revision may significantly improve your health.
