Synopsis

This book is a gem. It hits hard at just how simple it is to be poisoned from the vapors from mercury and mercury amalgam exposures and yet just how difficult it is to achieve understanding from anyone in either the health care industry or society in general. Dr. Scheckner is able to take the reader on a journey of just how simple it is for mercury to slowly and silently destroy someone's life. People are being hurt, not only from the damaging effects of mercury on one's health, but also from the battle that it takes to achieve acceptance and recognition that mercury poisoning is a disease. This is a compelling story that all too many people in our profession of dentistry and patients who have been treated with mercury amalgam have faced and, because of a societal lack of understanding, will continue to face, unless we start to wake up and stop using this insidious and pernicious agent. Time Bomb from Within: Mercury Poisoning in Dentistry is a simple but heart-wrenching read for every dental health care professional and anyone who has, or has ever had, a mercury amalgam filling. -Dr. Nestor B Shapka, BSc, DDS, IAOMT; president of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Dr. Stuart Scheckner received both his bachelor of science (1960) and doctor of dental medicine (1964) degrees from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey. Upon graduation, he served two years at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, as a captain at their dental clinic. In 1972 he moved with his family to Sarasota, Florida, where he opened a dental practice on beautiful Siesta Key. He was living his dream: a rewarding and successful dental practice, a loving wife and two healthy children, and a waterfront home. He was a respected member of the community and had many good friends and all the amenities of a good life that money could buy. Then it all began to change. What started subtly as some symptoms common with stress, evolved into a life-threatening ordeal, taking him on a roller-coaster ride through physical, mental, and emotional turmoil. There were times that he stood alone in his suffering, without any support, understanding, or hope of recovery. Yet, somehow, he pulled himself through it all. Dr. Scheckner's desire to find meaning to all that has happened to him over the past thirty years has driven him to speak out on what he truly believes is a national tragedy. His interests in medicine, nutrition, and health have guided him in his search for the truth about the effect of mercury in dentistry and in our environment. He has written many letters to legislators and the press about the danger of mercury in dentistry. He is published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy with a pediatric immunologist on mercury associated with autoimmune disorders. He has appeared on local television and radio talk shows. His story appeared several times in featured newspaper articles. He was an expert consultant to the Florida State Board of Dentistry and was an instructor for dental assistants. His goal in Time Bomb from Within is to question why something as insidious as mercury is still being approved fo
