Like many people, Suzin Stockton discovered the link between oral and systemic health first hand – through her own health struggles. Her research and continuing education led her to biological dentistry and a deep understanding of how focal infection and other sources of oral and dental toxins undermine whole body health. As she says at […]
Disregarding Evidence of Fluoridation’s Harm Doesn’t Make That Harm Go Away
Earlier this year, three Indiana towns opted to end fluoridation. Over in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the city council continues to work on ending the practice, following in Albuquerque’s footsteps. This November, Wichita, Kansas residents will get to vote on whether they want fluoride in their city’s water or not. It’s especially good to keep […]
The Foundation of Healing from Mercury Amalgam & Other Dental Toxins
If mercury fillings are so toxic, why doesn’t everyone who has them get sick? Why doesn’t everyone with long-term, chronic illness heal quickly once triggers such as root canal teeth or cavitations are removed or treated? Why do some people not heal at all – or even get sicker? Maybe you’ve wondered about these things. […]
Why Organic Food Matters (& How to Find It Close to Home)
If you follow the news, you probably ran into an item last week declaring that organic food is “no more nutritious” than conventionally raised food and thus “no better for you,” just more expensive. But as many have already noted, more nutrients aren’t the point. What matters is what’s not in organic food: synthetic pesticides […]
Better Teeth through Chemistry?
Guest post by Gary M. Verigin, DDS, CTN Did you hear the one about the new “chemical” that’s supposed to make teeth “cavity-proof”? The chemical was designed by dentists in Chile, and wipes out all the bacteria that cause cavities in just 60 seconds in tests. The chemical targets ‘streptococcus mutans’, the bacteria that turns […]
Dr. Glaros Talks Biological Dentistry with Dr. Mercola
In case you missed it over the weekend, here’s Dr. Glaros’ conversation with Dr. Mercola about the perils of mercury amalgam “silver” fillings and the leading role of biological dentists in mercury-free, mercury-safe dentistry: From Dr. Mercola’s article accompanying the interview: Biological dentists, also known as holistic-, or environmental dentists, operate according to the belief […]
It’s Mercury-Free Dentistry Week
As we noted last week, much progress in the fight for mercury-free dentistry has been made from environmental concerns. After all, nearly 30 tons of mercury makes its way from dental offices into wastewater supplies every year. Of course, the most sensible – and cost-effective – way to prevent that is to not use mercury […]
Progress in the Fight for Mercury-Free Dentistry
When Dr. Glaros decided to make his practice mercury-free, it seemed a radical move. It was 1984. Most American dentists were blissfully unaware that dental amalgam was, in the words of Sam Ziff, a “toxic time bomb,” owing to its high mercury content. They didn’t understand that this potent neurotoxin is constantly released from amalgam […]
