5.0 out of 5 stars.  Great book, February 03, 2016
By Zorinka
Mercury is bad for you! Everybody needs to know this. I finally found a biological dentist who could replace all my silver fillings safely.

This is a must read for everyone if you are concerned about your health!

5.0 out of 5 stars.  One of the best books about mercury amalgams and what you need to know before you get them removed!, February 01, 2016
By JMR
This book should be read by everyone who has "silver" (mercury) fillings, politicians and dentists along with dental assistants. It is not just in your head...there is a real danger with these metal amalgams and Hal Huggins really knows what has been covered up by the ADA. Even if you only want to understand those who have mercury amalgams, this would be good to have so you can tell them how important it is to get them out! This book should be read BEFORE you try to get them removed. You will want to be sure the dentist that takes them out does so by the Hal Huggins Protocol, otherwise you could really be messed up. Very informative, definitely recommended!!

2.0 out of 5 stars.  NEWER DETOXIFICATION PRODUCTS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE, September 25, 2015
By William Rasmussen
This book is responsible for the awareness that the mercury in silver amalgam fillings can cause many health problems. I concur with Huggins that it is very important to have ones fillings removed by a biological dentist who will protect the patient from mercuryvapors during the removal process.
Since this book came out there have been several discoveries as to the most effective way to handle the detoxification of mercury.
FIRST some dentists like to start the patient on a gentle detox 2-4 months before amalgam removal to lower the incidence of allergic reactions to the white composites and bonding agents . Natural chelators that do not contain any mobilizers of mercury like IMD/metalsweep from Quicksilver Scientific are excellent for this purpose.
SECONDLY Huggins usually used DMSA in low 50mg doses to detoxify the body of mercury. It has been shown that the sicker the patient is the less efficient their organs of elimination (bowels, kidneys and liver) are working. However DMSA depends on these organs of elimination to be working efficiently to get the DMSA / mercury conjugate out of the body. So the more mercury toxic /sicker the patient is the less effective DMSA is in getting the mercury out of the body. If these organs of elimination are not fully functional much of the mercury will just circulate in the bloodstream. This is evidenced by taking a 24 hour urine collection after a DMSA or DMPS challenge test because mercury will be in higher than normal levels in the blood for this length of time or longer.
THIRDLY DMSA had a strong ability to pull mercury out of the tissues where it was stored, but poor bonding with mercury. As a result DMSA would lose it bonding with mercury in the blood stream allowing the mercury to relocate to the brain and nervous system. Several researchers tried to create protocols to use inferior chelators like DMSA in ways that minimized its weak bonding with mercury. However none of these protocols prevented the dramatic rise in blood mercury levels and subsequent relocation to the brain and nervous system in very toxic people who used it.
FOURTHLY Many new chelators have been created that have a much stronger strong bonding ability with mercury than DMSA or DMPS. As a result they lower blood mercury levels during the detoxification process. This is in contrast to DMSA that always raised blood mercury levels when taken. In very toxic people the rise in blood mercury levels could be considered dangerous.
FIFTHLY Huggins mentioned that patients who could eat seafood before detoxification started would often find that they started to react to the seafood after starting detoxification. Huggins believed that they were becoming sensitized to mercury in seafood and should therefore avoid it. The other explanation is that the DMSA used to detoxify them was damaging their ability to eliminate mercury and that is why they started to react to seafood .
There is much good information in this book but 17 years after its publication some information that is now outdated.. My book Mercury Detoxification Simplified was written for people who have lost the ability to detoxify efficiently due to the damage to their bodies from long term exposure to mercury from amalgam fillings and other sources.

3.0 out of 5 stars.  Informative, September 20, 2015
By P Oberg
Wished that he covered crowns and root canals more. I can understand removing amalgams from your body, but I do not understand root canals and crowns as well. What do we use if a root canal tooth is removed? How do we replace it and with what?
