Holistic Health Management

Holistic dentists and alternative health professionals have a common ground: each sees the big picture. Holistic health practitioners see the human body as one giant puzzle. When disassembled, the puzzle is merely a pile of random pieces. When assembled, however, the puzzle creates a picture that is in itself greater than any one piece. In this way, holistic dentists and other alternative health professionals pay particular attention to patients’ mental, physical, and social needs, recognizing that each contributes to overall health.

Miami Dentistry and Safe Mercury Removal

Safe mercury removal is in the public spotlight. With West Coast communities banning the use of toxic dental amalgam, patients nationwide are wondering: Should I have my fillings replaced?

Comments by Dr. Ted Herrmann:

Costa Mesas became one of the first communities in the United States to ban the use of dental amalgam in dentistry procedures last month.

Many mistakenly categorize the idea of holistic health with the likes of organic veggies, overpriced antioxidant super drinks, and trendy yoga studios. However, holistic dentistry is not a mere fad. Holistic ideals predate the advent of modern medicine, illustrating a timeless concern for the interconnected nature of the human body.

A Heartfelt Plea For Mercury Filling Removal

When it comes to mercury and your body, each major organ system is at risk. The heart and cardiac system, however, are particularly susceptible to poisoning from mercury.

Comments by Dr. Ted Herrmann:

Once the toxicity of mercury enters the bloodstream, it races through the blood and to each major organ. The damage that inhaled mercury can cause is permanent and deadly, however, it can be avoided altogether. Consulting a dentist about safe mercury filling removal is the best way to avoid developing extremely harmful health conditions.

Amalgam (Silver) Fillings and Holistic Health

Could you be inhaling poisonous vapor? If you have amalgam (silver) fillings, you most likely are.

COMMENTS BY DR. TED HERRMANN:

We know that mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive chemical on Earth (i). We know that this chemical vaporizes under pressure and heat. We also know that, when vaporized, this chemical is tasteless, odorless, and easily inhaled without notice. Why, then, does it make sense to have such a chemical in your mouth?

The Truth About Amalgam (Silver) Fillings

Comments by Dr. Ted Herrmann:
