Description

Dr. Huggins and Dr. Levy assert that a large number of disorders are, though often incurable, easily preventable. He proposes that multiple sclerosis, lupus, leukemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, many mental disorders including Alzheimer's, and even major diseases like breast cancer are caused, in part, by the toxins we place in our bodies. Where do these toxins come from and how do they get into our bodies? You my be surprised to find that you have actually paid to have them put there. These dangerous materials--mercury, cadmium, beryllium, nickel, and others--are used in everyday dentistry to make up the fillings, root canals, and bridgework in our mouths, and are supposed to be "safe." But are they?Uninformed Consent presents cases of toxic poisoning--of depressed immune systems and inexplicable illnesses--to toxins entering the bloodstream from the heavy metals in dental materials. The authors also discuss the hidden truths that the dental industry in America doesn't want to talk about, and the real reasons the dangers of these materials have been suppressed and ignored. Drs. Huggins and Levy implore the reader: "Don't leave your health in your dentist's hands and assume that all will be fine. Become informed and take an active role in your health. Know what will be implanted in your mouth. You must decide at the outset what is more important to you--the life of a filling or your life." Uninformed Consent will give you the facts so that you may take responsibility for your dental--and complete--health and wellness. Read more

    • More Freedom of Choice Long Overdue
The many past reviews of this book cover most of the main points. I, too, have found the book very convincingly written and argued, well worth serious consideration for those seeking optimal health and wellness. However, there are some points that lead me to hesitate in my own case. First, the book describes "total dental revision" (TDR), which is a fairly major, drastic intervention going far beyond merely replacing amalgam fillings with composite ones. What is the success rate of TDR? The book doesn't provide any statistics that I could find, but court information from Dr. Huggins' license revocation indicates a success rate of 85%. Is that fully disclosed to TDR patients? And what happens in the other 15% of cases? The book doesn't say, except to emphasize that the "dental revision" needs to be "total" in order to have any chance (though still not necessarily 100%) of producing significant positive long-term health benefits. For those who are already seriously ill, 85% may be a very attractive opportunity, and I completely concur that such treatment decisions ultimately should remain with the patients, with access to all the essential information they need to be fully informed ("informed consent"). I also agree that the current licensing system goes too far in penalizing innovators in medicine and dentistry, and that individual patients *can* make their own decisions about their own level of treatment as long as they have the necessary information -- especially if mainstream doctors are permitted to discuss alternative treatment possibilities freely with their patients without fear of losing their licenses to practice. The book also fails to mention (as far as I noticed) what should be done to fill the gap between teeth when a tooth is extracted, other than making sure the extraction site is thoroughly cleaned out to prevent "cavitations" where anaerobic bacteria can hide and produce extremely harmful toxins. I noticed another Amazon review by a dentist explaining that implants are the only way to prevent bone loss and eventual loss of additional teeth. Yet Dr. Huggins strongly opposes implants and advocates removing them as part of a TDR. Furthermore, a mainstream oral surgeon told me once that implants don't have very good life expectancy; he said five years is considered a "good outcome" for implants. He also said there is no problem in not having an implant in place of the farthest back molar after the molar is extracted. A mainstream dentist also told me that 5 years is the best minimum life expectancy for crowns, too, although my own crowns have lasted far longer. Fortunately, I've always insisted on gold for my crowns (for durability), which apparently is far less toxic than nickel-ceramic crowns, according to Dr. Huggins (because of the nickel content, even in "stainless steel" form). For additional perspective on Dr. Huggins, there is a very informative article about him on Wikipedia, titled "Hal Huggins." The article seems to present a balanced and objective picture of his views, criticisms, successes and failures, with many references, including links to the court documents relating to Dr. Huggins' 1996 license revocation in Colorado. I came to this book myself primarily out of curiosity about the professional association between Dr. Huggins and Dr. Thomas E. Levy, since I have long been highly interested in Dr. Levy's views regarding high-dose vitamin C and its use (in IV form) in Dr. Huggins' TDR procedures. The book provides excellent additional background on how Dr. Levy met Dr. Huggins and how Dr. Levy's own health improved greatly after a TDR by Dr. Huggins. ... show more

    • Super informative, and excellent doctors/ authors
This information is pretty much out of the box for most people, and most dentists. I believe in the work of Dr. Hal Huggins, and the cardiologist Doctor Levy, I have been following them for years, and this book was a helpful resource with a lot more specific data. If you are concerned, you might have a health issue due to your dental work like root canals, Amalgams, and other metal I would encourage you to study up on this and read this book as part of your research. ... show more

    • A book which content make us start speculating about our actual health
When I write that we by reading this book at least start speculating about our actual health, we among other can put this parallel to the content of the personally story by Thomas E. Levy, which start on the side 15. Because here he tells us that before he met Hal A. Huggins, he sought that his health was as good at it could be, but after he then had some of his tooth fillings changed, unexpected to him, his energy started to increase. But to me it’s especially choking to read Huggins telling about how he during a lecture he made, back in 1973, then by one of the listeners, Dr. Olympio Pinto, was learning about a connection between leukemia and the mercury fillings in the gums. Because Pintos then told him about how his dentist father, way back in 1920s, nearly by and “accident”, discovered this connection on a boy both suffering of leukemia and of pain in the gum. Shocking for me to learn that even though this connection now have been known for around 90 years, but nearly nobody knows anything about it. And it’s also choking when we for example on the side 183 are reading that in 1996, in the state of Colorado, the Judge Nance Connick then ruled that patients were not allowed to ask dentists to remove their fillings for toxic reasons! And furthermore we on the side 199 are reading that back in the 1980s when it was planned for Huggins to hold a lecture about the potential hazards of nickel, but when it then was discovered what would be told, then the dentist was not allowed to come to this lecture, and if they did, they then would lose their licenses! So Huggins, naturally, then canceled the lecture. But the book is extremely good and important by informing us about the possibly connections between what people now during more than 150 year by amalgam have been getting into their teeth, and the thereby increased chances in being hit by sicknesses among other as Alzheimer, AIDS, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, headaches, and ringing in the ears, And the book finish with an interesting observation about how we mostly are having our dreaming in black and white, but after the bad fillings in the teeth have been removed then many persons are starting dreaming in color! That is getting back to the original. But even though the book is concerning our teeth, we also learn that the cholesterol and the fats really aren’t as bad as we until presently have been told. So concerning this point the book has also been in front of the official statements. But it’s a highly important book, and next time I visit my dentist, who to me look like a dentist interesting I knowledge, I show him the book, and ask if I shall by a copy to him. ... show more

    • Informed and Angry!
It seems that as I attempt to get healthier, I found out just how much the medical arena continues to take my money but fail to tell me the truth. Somewhere, someone must have a conscience that means more than loyalty to an agency or degree. I am angry that I have so much toxicity in my body that has kept me from living life as God intended. So now armed with info I will get some help I should have gotten in the first place.Good book and while I don't agree 100 percent with everything, it is clear I have been poisoned by a spirit of deception. It takes guts to write something like this! My deepest and heartfelt appreciation. ... show more
