Mercury, Miko, and Me: How Holistic Dentistry Healed My Daughter and saved My Life
Mercury, Miko, and Me: How Holistic Dentistry Healed My Daughter and Saved My Life is an intimate account of the author's journey to understand and reverse learning and behavioral challenges in her daughter and symptoms of lupus, heart disease, and chronic fatigue in herself by removing her “silver” fillings. It does for mercury amalgams what Silent Spring by Rachel Carson did for pesticides. Like Kate Moore's Radium Girls, it shows how a toxic element, which began as the darling of the medical community, harmed untold numbers of patients.
Unlike that tragic chapter in American history, the author found a way to help her family heal.
Bauer is a highly engaging storyteller, which makes her memoir an enjoyable read…she presents her arguments powerfully: "How could putting the second most dangerous element on earth into our teeth be beneficial?-Kirkus Review
