This page is being created as a historical perspective of my journey from
discovery of the problem with what the American Dental Association tried to make
me believe about the safety of mercury, and what I came to realize, and takes you
through to the current time (Summer of 2008) when finally the changes started.
My realization that the fillings I was placing in patients head were toxic when
I read about the Vimy study, and how mercury fillings with traceable radioisotopes
were placed in sheep and primates. The isotopes were found months later in all
tissues of the animals, and crossed the placenta into embryos at twice the rate of
deposition in the tissue. Vimy Sheep Study
I stopped placing mercury fillings then, in the early 90's, and started my first
website around that time to educate the public about the pitfalls of mercury, and the
pitfalls of managed care.
When I built my new office in 1997 I equipped it with mercury separators, to prevent
the mercury we drilled out of people's teeth from ending up in our sewer lines and
burdening the waste water treatment facilities.

We began using the IAOMT protocol Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings).
for mercury removal to prevent uptake into the patients' tissues while mercury fillings were
being removed. We forged alliances with holistic MD's to manage the diagnosis and chelation
of the most toxic patients.
I went to the ADA meeting in Philadelphia in 2005 Mercury Protest Blog
and protested the fact that most dentists still have their heads in the sand, not thinking
at all about the ADA telling them that these fillings were totally safe, but that if there
was any scrap left over, it should be stored in a tightly closed glass jar, under antifreeze
or other high-specific-gravity liquid to prevent the gasses from escaping!
I went the FDA hearings in Washington, DC in 2006 and was planning to be a blogger FDA Mercury Neurotoxicity Hearings , communicating the goings-on to my like-minded colleagues. After the
first day, I asked to have time to address the learned committee. My speech was well-received
both by panelists and the anti-mercury group. I was asked to become a part of a documentary
being developed on the subject.
My personal moonwalk was rewarded when in June of 2008, the FDA put out the changes to
their website that reversed their posture on the use of mercury in pregnant women and children.
I was featured in a newspaper article Philadelphia Inquirer
that was syndicated throughout the country.
