It's All in Your Head: The Link Between Mercury, Amalgams, and Illness

by Hal A. Huggins

Mercury is one of the world's most poisonous substances, and yet dentists routinely use it in amalgams to fill our teeth.

It's All in Your Head looks at past research on mercury toxicity and dental amalgams as well as current scientific findings that can no longer be ignored. It describes the possible...

must read if MERCURY is on your mind OR in your head!!

we slowly are learning more about the hazzards of MERCURY in our bodies. sure, we now stay away from mercury infested fish--but what about the gov. is not talking about ("truth"-not in their vocaulary) is the mercury in our vaccines--NO they are NOT safe. we do not know the individual threshold for mercury to throw us overboard. it could be just one vaccination with thimerosal preservative(mercury) that can injure-and don't give me that bs that we can detox mercury-the levels the gov allows are NOT safe for most-much less an infant who cannot rid all toxins to a full extent yet...and some can't detox the poison at all or only to a small extent--so why risk and put it in your bodies in the first place? the gov will take away a dentists license if one talks about amalgam dangers to health. (ps flouride is not good for you either) now we know for a FACT--yes a fact! that mercury in children causes AUTISM, also causes allergies-food sensitivities, auto immune diseases, ADHD, ADD.the symptoms list is long... My amalgams were half out, replaced with composites. and I have another four to go..thought I read enough--I did not. Decided to see if I missed something, I did..there is a lot of info in this book. I overlooked checking for positive and negative charges in my amalgams, I didn't know about the 7,14,21 day immunity cycle, I didn't know what to look for in my CBC's =which usually come out "normal" for us--check again--Huggins really goes over all this well. I'm going through his book again--AND got his other book "Uninformed Consent" to read before I proceed with the rest of my amalgam replacements. His book is great. please read-even if you are not getting your amalgams removed-Huggins talks about the decay/corrosion dangers- infections, he talks about why having GOLD fillings and amalgams in the mouth are toxic combo. if you do decide to get amalgams replaced--please do it with a dentist that does this only--if call a dental office-ask if they place amalgams in the mouth-and if they do-hang up! you do not want to put your health in their hands-amalgam removal MUST be followed by a safe protocol-call DAMS for more amalgam info in addition to this book. read as much as you can before you stir things up with your amalgams, get them out, the chelate/detox--hundreds of ways to do this..and live a long life-a full one without illness, allergies, memory loss, bad eyesite, ringing in the ears, without ADHD......... --be mercury free--the best to you all!

Read it, research it, remove it, soon!

Dr. Huggins takes us on a eye opening tour of mercury toxicity at its worst and how are lives can be changed if we are willing to heed his advice. After competing in a marathon I noticed that I had absolutely no desire to exercise. Having been an athlete all my life this was a little scary. When I started taking 5 naps a day and would forget simple things like meals, I knew I had a problem. My homeopath had "It's All In Your Head" and suggested I read it. I was amazed at the coverup the ADA has managed to get away with all these years. Luckily for us Doc Huggins has dedicated his life to getting the word out about the dangers of mercury toxicity. After reading this book you should check out his website Hugnet. com and learn more about dental revision. I had mine done a year ago at his clinic in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and feel great. I now nap when I want to, not because I have to, have no more brain fog, and am starting to slowly get back into an exercise program. So, read the book, research the website, and get those amalgams removed and replaced by a material compatible with 'your' body and get on with your life.

Information that EVERYONE should read!

After being diagnosed with high mercury levels from my doctor, I have been researching the devastating effects of mercury poisoning. I am so thankful for pioneers like Dr. Huggins to speak out against one of America's most blatantly deceptive organizations in our country, the American Dental Association. Even if you don't have "silver" fillings, this does effect you on a daily basis, you just don't know it. Read this book and others to find out how. Give it to those you love with "silver" fillings, and find a "Mercury Free" dentist to remove them properly!

All who have (or have had) teeth will greatly benefit ....

Mercury in any form is a poison. That truth is learned by many individuals at an early age. What isn't readily available information however, is the fact that mercury is used in ALL metal dental fillings (incorrectly referred to as "silver fillings"). Why the American Dental Association (ADA) wants the public to think mercury is magically rendered harmless when placed in dental fillings (in the mouth) is a very thought provoking question, not to mention, scary... This book addresses mercury fillings in the mouth along with a few other really great tidbits you'll be glad you learned about...Don't forget to also read "Uninformed Consent", Dr. Huggins latest 1999 book release.Fortunately, I met Dr. Huggins back in 1983 when I had no idea what was wrong with me and I was sleeping 15 hours a day and each day I felt like I had just pulled an all-nighter at college...The medical folks told me I was either pregnant or I needed a shrink. Luckily for me they were wrong on both counts... All I needed was to have the mercury removed (correctly) from my mouth and subsequently from my body. (Body detoxification lasts for the rest of your life). Thank you again Dr. Huggins!

killing me softly with his drill

My strange and "unexplained" symptoms again resurfaced after a 20 plus year battle with chronic fatigue and systemic yeast. After I thought my health had improved through holistic measures, colonics, aloe vera juice, internal cleansing, etc., my immune system is again inexplicitly attacking me. I do not take any antibiotics or alcohol, yet for almost two years, I've had recurrent pain in my root canaled tooth. I've told my dentist of the pain to no avail, he even advised that I NOT have the tooth removed, as it would create a "bite problem." My answer to him is that I won't have to worry about my bite because I'll be dead from mercury poisoning. I didn't actually say that, but it is my opinion after reading,"It's All In Your Head." Yes, I was told to see a psychiatrist, but my worse fear is they'd drug me and put me in an institution and I'd be dead in six months. So, I did alternative therapies with some success, and am now willing to see a dentist that is involved in mercury toxicity. I called the 800 number in the book, and received a referral for such a dentist. If I had known of the dangers, I'd never had the root canals done, nor the silver fillings. My life has been wasted on unexplained illness, fatigue, and countless doctor visits. I have suffered in silence long enough. The book explains how autoimmune diseases can occur from dental toxicity. It told how the intestinal "good" bacteria are lost and how mutant DNA (now linked up with their old pal mercury) emerges to wreak havoc on your internal chemistry. It even gets saturated in your brain tissues, as proven through autopsy, there was a direct correlation between the amount of measurable brain mercury and number of dental fillings. Root canals pose even more hazard, and can destroy the nervous system. Take control of your life, get the book, and demand that hazardous materialls not be put in your mouth. I am shocked and angered that I foolishly let the dental profession compromise my health and my life, and like the old song, I feel he is ,"Killing Me Softly With His Drill"
