The Link between Mercury Amalgams and Illness
by Dr. Hal Huggins, DDS
Dentist Huggins has led the fight
to alert the public and health professionals to the dangers of using mercury
in the amalgams used to fill teeth. Here he describes his battle with the
American Dental Association and the results of his research studies. After
explaining mercury toxicity, he describes such conditions as neurological
and immunological diseases that can result from this toxicity. His
discussion also includes the diagnosis of mercury toxicity and the pros and
cons of having mercury amalgam fillings removed. He indicates that there are
often no definitive answers in the diagnostic process and that the final
proof of mercury toxicity is whether the patient feels better when mercury
fillings are removed. A useful if very detailed look at a continuing health
controversy. —Karen
