I am so shocked and angry that my dentist(s) never informed me of the dangers of the root canals and toxic mercury laden fillings called amalgams they were putting in my mouth may cause adverse health issues. Boy am I ruined

 Alternative viewpoint on the dental profession - focusing on toxicity of mercury fillings, February 17, 2016

Author has a clear comfortable writing style, though it does get overly technical at some points. The fact that he references Dr.Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration is nice - I just read thorough most of that book. My dentist doesn't know about that research.
I liked the mea culpa of the author in the beginning and recognition that he was stupid in his earlier years. I enjoyed his reminder and discussion on avoiding seafood with mercury in it too.
The biggest negatives in the book are: 1) relating "seemingly every illness" to mercury filling amalgams. Our health is influenced by many factors which relatively few are aware of - like man-made EMFs, and artificial light exposure / lack of sunlight (Wearing sunglasses, not going outside), and holding in stress, also quality of water. UV light kills 99.999% (really, 100%) of harmful bacteria and viruses - we don't get enough of it. 2) Not talking enough about the toxicity of root canals. The focus is so much on mercury.
After focusing on mercury, the author talks about:
- Toxicity of nickel in dental work
- Root Canals
- Details related to cavitation - which occurs after tooth extraction
- Discussion on Total Dental Revision
- And a random section at the end on dreams, which I felt had no place in this book.
I recently got my second root canal. A search in the index of the book shows only two references to gutta percha. It was a top notch dentist (Univ. of Washington), I was told there was no formaldehyde, but I should probably inquire a little more in detail as to what exactly is inside me. Ideally my body is strong enough to fight off any residual chemicals. Speaking of that, I should find out what other chemicals than gutta percha were used.
I felt the author could have done a better job of explaining why root canals are so bad. A better discussion of the chemicals used, or it the procedure itself? The use of just saying bad bacteria (my paraphrase) still floating around, seems insufficient. More photos would have definitely helped. I have no doubt that mercury and nickel in the mouth is bad, but gutta percha, which is a wax, doesn't seem to me to be as bad on the surface. Besides, if the tooth is removed, there is just an empty space? Fine if it's a molar, but what if it's a pre-molar?
In the writing the author seems a little unsure as to how bad root canals really are. He hedged his language about it. Now, if they are capped with a metal crown, I can see how that should be replaced.
I am not overly concerned about bacteria getting through again, as I have a (Relatively) strong immune system, and have been detoxifying in other ways for many years (Electrical change - by changing thought patterns and removing repressed stress, no more sunglasses, no mobile phone, no cordless phone, wired network at home (Can't avoid wi-fi at work), alkaline water with no chlorine/fluoride, diet change - no more tea/coffee/candy/soda - closing in on 100% water only, with some juice desire still left, no chicken/bird meat, only beef, and that is declining, and more recently - vitamin education / supplementation - A,C,D,E,K2, along with removing grains/flour products/remaining processed foods and nightshades) I've learned about the importance of minerals and vitamins in the saliva for healing our mouths.
In an ideal future, I will figure out how to grow a 3rd set of teeth which will just get rid of my adult teeth. A complete new 3rd set, once my jaw has realigned and is ready for them. The gutta percha will be broken down, and all my teeth with composite fillings and my 2 root canal teeth will be pushed out. Sound preposterous? I've read that it happens, but no-one knows how. I've already improved my eyesight by up to 40% in one eye and 20% in the other.. Better than 20/10 is the target in the next few years. Auto-healing.
Many moons ago I did have 4 wisdom teeth extracted. I can't really say how that operation has affected my state of health.
Well, I read this book because going to have an all-ceramic EMAX crown put in next week (Yes, no metal). My first crown. The temporary crown that was placed on my tooth was made of acrylic plastic, and I had a reaction to it. I just had it removed, and I am getting better, though still have lingering effects. Burning sensation in wrists and a little in a foot. I've studied plastic toxicity and realized micro-particles from the plastic mold were getting into my system. Affected my taste buds too.
You might enjoy a DVD - Plastic Planet.
Now after reading Weston Price book and many websites, I am educated on why I have had issues with cavities (all composite fillings) - vitamin and mineral deficiencies - all of my life, even after cutting out many unhealthy foods and drinks.Though also the role of negative energy built up in my system has also played a role - independent of diet.
The Beautiful Truth DVD has an interesting segment on mercury fillings if you are interested. You might find it on Youtube too.
In summary, this book is worth reading, but I skipped some pages because it was going on into too much unnecessary detail. Combined with watching various dental/teeth videos about mercury on Youtube, and a couple more books on dental toxicity coming, I am a lot more informed!
