THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
times the white composite fillings are called porcelain fillings
but they are not. They also require more tooth structure to be
removed.
If you have a large bridge, it cannot be replaced with a plas-
tic bridge because it isn't strong enough. A large bridge must be
replaced with a removable partial (FlexiteTM).
The methods used to remove metals and infections are tech-
nical and complicated. See dental information in Sources.
Dr. Clark: I'd like to thank Dr. Jerome for his
contributions to this section, and his pioneering work in metal-
free dentistry. I hope more dentists acquire his techniques.
Horrors Of Metal Dentistry....................................................
Why are highly toxic metals put in materials for our mouths?
Because not everyone agrees on what is toxic at what level. Just
decades ago lead was commonly found in paint, and until
recently in gasoline. Lead was not less toxic then, we were just
less informed! The government sets standards of toxicity, but
those “standards” change as more research is done (and more
people speak out). You can do better than the government by
dropping your standard for toxic metals to zero! Simply remove
them.
The debate still rages over mercury amalgam fillings. No one
disputes the extreme toxicity of mercury compounds and mercury
vapor. The ADA feels that mercury amalgam fillings are safe
because they do not vaporize or form toxic compounds to a
significant degree. Opponents cite scientific studies that
implicate mercury amalgams as disease causing. Many dentists
advocate mercury amalgam fillings simply because they are ac-
cepted by the ADA, which they believe protects them from
malpractice litigation. Why risk your health and life on their
opinions? Remember everything corrodes and everything seeps,
so amalgams must too.
