Dr. Leonard T. Fazio graduated from New York University College of Dentistry, NY, New York in 1988. Shortly after graduating and working in the dental field, he began to experience myriad health problems including, irregular heartbeat, fatigue, unexplained anxiety, headaches and sensitivity to light and sound. While his physicians could offer no cause or provide any solutions, Dr. Fazio knew that something was wrong. It was not, as many suggested, 'all in your head'. Convinced that there had to be another explaination, his research led him to question whether his occupation was to blame. After attending a seminar in Colorado Springs, CO, in the fall of 1992, he finally got his answers. It was obvious then that in addition to having a mouthfull of 'silver' amalgam fillings, which are actually 50% MERCURY, and then having an occupational exposure to mercury from drilling and filling with that material,Dr. Faziowas being slowly, steadilypoisoned by Mercury !! It was at that moment that he realized that despite the prevailing notion that these so-called silver fillings were actually a problem and immediately vowed to stop using them in his practice.
After receiving a formal education and training on the proper handling of mercury-fillings, as well as the mercury-safe amalgam-removal protocols from the renowned Dr. Hal Huggins, DDS, MS, Dr. Fazio's life changed dramatically. After making some lifestyle changes his diet andchanging his diet, Dr. Fazio, slowly and steadily recovered from this Mercury toxicity. To hear him tell it, Dr, Fazio feels very fortunate to have found this important information early on in his dental career. It has allowed him to get truly healthy and his patients have benefitted as well. Dr. Fazio has been practicing mercury-free, mercury-safeand metal-free dentistry since 1993, and he is dedicated to the philosophy of holistic, integrated dentistry. Hecontinued to seek more training from Dr.Hal Huggins, DDS, and continues to expand his knowledge on this subject, as well as any and all complimentary therapies and protocols designed to promote optimal oral and overall health.
