A great book written by two very intelligent and "open minded" doctors. Dr. Thomas Levy's story lead me to taking a more pro-active position with my dental revision. I already knew about the devastating effects of my "silver fillings" and I had some knowledge about root canals. However, his story took me to the next level of action...removal of my two root canals. And yes, just like Dr. Huggins and Dr. Levy mention in the book, they were infected and a source of slow and constant poisoning of my body. I owe the a debt of graditute for their courage to speak out about yet another atrosity in dentistry.They also go into detail about many other sources of mercury...eye contact lens solution, contraceptives, vaccines, seafood, etc.
If you want to know why we are getting sicker and sicker in this country, then you need to read this book.
Buy Uninformed Consent : The Hidden Dangers in Dental Care Now
Something I did not know (and which the authors expose) is that dentists as a professsion have the highest suicide rate. It is because, they argue convincingly, dentists spend decades dealing with mercury, a deadly neuro-toxin, which collects in their brains. Although they don't comment on it, this is where the old expression, "Mad as a hatter" came from: in the past hatters became insane because they used mercury in their job. The average dental amalgam is 50% mercury: this is the poison the ADA claims is safe and allows dentists to place inches from peoples' brains? Europe is far ahead of us in this regard; mercury fillings are now illegal. The list of diseases improved or cured by removal of fillings is astonishing. The authors list case after case. Schopenhauer made the comment that ideas are first ridiculed, then violently opposed, then accepted as self-evident. I wonder how many years it will take before the dangers of these fillings will be accepted as self-evident.Read Best Reviews of Uninformed Consent : The Hidden Dangers in Dental Care Here
Dr. Huggins graduated from the University of Nebraska School of Dentistry in 1962 and received a master of science degree from the University of Colorado in 1989. He is no quack, he is a crusader for health.There is abundant scientific evidence that amalgam fillings are a danger to health. Dental amalgam is 50% mercury. Mercury is the most toxic metal known to man. Just look at the information from The International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology at .
Also consider that the Swedish Dental Material Commission recommended that amalgam be banned in 2002 download the report from . They commented that "The use of amalgam has been identified as the single largest source of mercury in sewage sludge, and crematoria are a large source of emissions to air in Sweden.". So how the hell does mercury get into people's faeces without passing through the body first ?
Dentists who deny that amalgam is harmful are either ignoramuses or liars it's really that simple. They lie because they do not want to get served with class action lawsuits from all the people made sick from their amalgam fillings. That's the same reason why the governments stand by the dentists (Sweden excepted).

This is written particularly in response to Kavity Killer's party-line review of this book:I have been directly involved in clinical dentistry for over 40 years. Quackwatch is full of beans on this matter, as they are on many other issues as well. They are backed by the AMA and ADA, etc, so know that there are a lot of god-like egos on the line here. Many mistakes have been made by AMA/ADA members and to be exposed would be a huge loss of face, not to mention the astronomical costs of potential litigation and case settlements. They do NOT want to go there! Sadly, our cultural worship of material success has led to a level of greed that trumps the oath to "First do no harm." It didn't just happen over-night. The AMA/ADA has been in bed with the Pharmeceutical industry for at least 50 years. The trickle-down effect this had on individual doctors and dentists was slower in developing, but has seriously infiltrated the general ranks in medical and dental schools, and private practices over the past 20-25 years. Many health professionals DO continue to fight this trend, but Pharma has enormous financial resources [ie, power] and the greed-based commercialization of US Healthcare is the result we all suffer. The problems are insidious as in many instances, Pharma susidizes entire hospitals, medical schools, and research programs, as well as many of the doctors who write medical textbooks. Consequently, their own products and protocols become the de facto treatments that all health professionals learn before they ever even see their first patients! Not to mention Pharma's infiltration into the FDA, with the subsequent "fast-tracking" of questionable drugs into the marketplace and into our bodies. I could go on and on with my insider's view of this but I am getting off-track on the subject of this book. So, moving on...
Please. Read this book if you want to get a more realistic idea of what all the brain-washed dentists and doctors DON'T want you to know. Also, understand that most of them are basically good people, but facing the real mistakes they have made as a result of their commercial indoctrination is overwhelming... emotionally, it is a very bitter pill to swallow. There is a strong element of betrayal and shame in this situation, and doctors and dentists are not going to be quick in accepting responsibility for the harm they've done when they realize that their own lack of due diligence [and disinterest] has made them culpable...and not merely victims or pawns of the "machine."
I have seen all of this up close and personal with numerous dentists. Dentists/doctors have also become accustomed--obviously--to a certain lifestyle as well as the respect their professions have brought them. Tie that in with the pressure of their spouses and children, who expect that privileged lifestyle to continue. Their identities have become completely entwined with their public images within their communities and with their peers. They [can] feel quite fearful and threatened by exposes such as this book and then do nothing except try to push it all under the rug. Of course, at this point the shame only increases because NOW they are knowingly doing treatments that cause harm! They [can] become defensive and even belligerent in continuing to do root canals or prescribing toxic fluoride, all in an impotent effort to PRETEND it isn't so! This is not to say that every dentist or doctor would react in this way, but the situation does create a form of psychological stress which even highly-trained "professionals" are NOT equipped to handle...without considerable professional help. Altogether, a very complex conundrum!
For those dentists and doctors who are not so exclusively identified with their job titles and professional egos, the road ahead is much simpler. They willingly take responsibility and do their own research into these very real medical issues, as did Drs Weston Price, George Meinig, and Hal Huggins, etc.
Our entire Healthcare system is in a serious crisis, and it is a crisis which impacts every single one of us. We all need to support radical reforms. "Privatization" is NOT the solution. Big Pharma can quietly buy out and incorporate any such ventures into its own greed-based game plan. In this situation, we need our Government to actually govern...to drop all partisan posturing and actually make use of its size to break the hold these monster corporations have on the people and soul of this country. In such an environment, the kind of valuable research that was done in "Uninformed Consent" or "Root Canal Cover-up" could be conducted with respect and support, rather than with accusations of quackery that are intended only to silence those who question the staus quo!
Sheesh!...hadn't intended to start waving the flag or anything...just thought I would say a few things to show the actual value of books like this one. I didn't know it was all going to strike such a "nerve"...ha-ha. In any case, critical transformations like those mentioned in this review will take time and the efforts of a population far less divided than we are now...or as conflicted as those dentists and doctors I've referred to above. Good luck to us.
I hope a few folks find this rambling "essay" to be useful in some way ;-)
