Course Purpose

A Common Sense Approach to The Mercury Issue is the first in a series of continuing education courses sponsored by the University For Alternative Medicine. This course is designed to educate the patient so that they will have an in depth understanding of what is involved in the removal of their mercury fillings. Possessing this knowledge will facilitate selecting a dental practitioner who has had the proper training and equipment to safely remove your mercury fillings. Since mercury is the second most toxic substance on this planet, the greatest care must be exercised in its removal.

The material presented in this interactive work-shop is based on practical clinical experience and will act as a guide to understanding many of the aspects that are involved in the removal process. Since there is no one official governing body that has established the best method for removal, we are offering a practical system that we believe will help protect your health during this removal process.

The University For Alternative Medicine is proud to be one of the pioneers in this exciting age of electronic education. We invite you to participate in this innovative journey. We believe electronic access to information will speed-up the health care industry's transition into alternative and complementary medicine. Our ultimate goal is twofold: (1) increase the patient's level of knowledge; and (2) help the patient locate a qualified dental practitioner.

Knowledge is your guide to health.
