The Truth About Mercury and Fluoride

How to save your teeth does a great job debunking any myths that the ADA is looking out for our health. Dr. Kennedy provides clear evidence about the harms of both mercury "amalgam" fillings and about fluoride treatments. To summarize, they are a bad ideas. Dr. Kennedy's treatments for saving your teeth involve a thorough tooth cleaning program which includes electric tooth brushes. Dr. Kennedy is the past president of the IAOMT, International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. Dr. Kennedy correctly states that bacteria do not cause cavities, but at the same time says, bacteria cause cavities. An honest appraisal of a more holistic viewpoint on dentistry, some material is a bit outdated regarding the latest biocompatible filling materials and dental procedures. While he quotes the work of Dr. Price, his dietary suggestions are vegan - whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits. Dr. Price found that people need the special vitamins from animal foods like animal meat (organic) and dairy that was raw. Dr. Kennedy specifically says not to eat these.

What you must know about dental health!

A wonderfully concise book that challenges the misconceptions of the public regarding dental health. While the dental associations continue to shroud the truth, it is fantastic to know that there are dentists out there who are keeping up the fight to expose the profession with regard to its lies about fluoride and amalgam(MERCURY!)fillings. The dental associations also go out of their way to conceal the fact that cavities and jaw deformities are the direct results of inadequate nutrition. No-one need have another filling! This book is a good follow-on from the ideas first put forth by Dr Weston Price ('Nutrition and Physical Degeneracy') in the 1930s. A must read for parents, dentists, and everyone else!

Our dental health bible

This book delivers what it claims to do: our whole family has achieved better dental hygiene and health through Dr.Kennedy's recommendations! Foremost, it gave us hope and confidence that we as patients can do a lot for our dental health. The book contains very detailed advice on dental hygiene (including that for children and people with gingevitis) and offers detailed explanation of various treatments for major dental ailments - with a stress on holistic practice (and its difference from the old-school one). Without it, my children would have had mercury amalgams; my mother would have gone through unnecessary surgery for her gingevitis and I would have received a major dental treatment on my amalgam-laden teeth during pregnancy! Thanks to the book (and its fantastic reference section) we have found a holistic dentist who helped my mother non-surgically fight her gingevitis and who advises us on every aspect of dental health, ensuring that we have the most gentle treatment and minimal intervention and rely largely on self-help measures. This book continues to help us and numerous other people! It is #1 in our health library.
