Mercury Free: The Wisdom behind the Global Consumer Movement to Ban Silver
Dental Fillings
|
Synopsis |
| |
|
"James Hardy began questioning the safety of amalgam
fillings while in dental school more than 15 years ago. He learned then that
these 'silver' fillings contain up to 70{percent} mercury. . . . According
to Hardy, highly toxic mercury vapor seeps out of these fillings and lodges
in vital organs. . . .{In this book he documents} the destructive effects of
mercury on . . . the human body, as well as on personality, behavior, and
emotions. . . . One chapter is devoted to ecological problems linked to
mercury. If fillings were instead made of safer, stronger porcelain, Hardy
asserts, we'd all be a lot healthier." (Small Press) Index.

From The Critics |

Small Press
{This book} is plainly written, but too long (especially the repetitive
'brief review of the book' in the last chapter), with too much anecdotal
evidence and a poor index (containing entries like 'unethical' and
'liquid'). Still, it will interest consumers, environmentalists, and health
care workers. They may not be convinced that Hardy is right, but they'll
want to read what he has to say.
