As I read your earlier post on metals, I was struck by the irony I always feel when conventional doctors feel that they have "discovered" something that has been well-published for decades. The book is interesting, but you should really get a more comprehensive detox plan before and after. A good option: Louisa Williams, ND, the author of the 2011 book "Radical Medicine" that discusses metals, mercury, teeth, and the body in detail. Also, in 2017, she put her "The 5 Dental Detox Days: A Naturopathic Doctor's Guide to Effective Detoxification of Mercury Amalgam Fillings" on Kindle.
I would advise 1) do not do a mercury challenge test, especially when the amalgams are in your moth, and 2) get a Clifford Materials Reactivity test before selecting a replacement filling material. BPA and BPA-free (BPS, BPF) all have endocrine disruptors, the glass isomers have proved carcinogenic, and implant prep that uses cadaver bone powder (why that became a thing, I have no idea) results in such problems as leukemia (beyond the normal contaminant concerns).
Mercury and other toxins will redistribute in your body (including brain) when you do a challenge test, or bite hard, etc. Try to avoid this. Warn your family of possible problems, so they won't just ignore you when you irritate them!
Bob,

James Hardy published the 1st edition of this book in 1996. Your advice is right on.
