IT’S IN YOUR
HEAD
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis
and a host of other diseases related to the brain and nervous
system have been increasing over the years. One ex-dentist thinks
he knows why, but many of his peers disagree with him.
Dr. Hal Huggins is a former American dentist who believes that
a host of diseases related to the brain and nervous system can be
traced back to one thing many of us have – fillings. Mercury
amalgam fillings to be precise.
He says the mercury in these fillings are giving people
mercury poisoning, and he is not alone in his thoughts. Some of his
peers who have studied this agree with him.
However, the New Zealand Dental Association says Huggin’s
claims have little or no scientific basis, and as a result,
continue to give their patients amalgam fillings. Melanie
Reid investigates.
