Upon graduation, he served two years at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, as a captain at their dental clinic. In 1972 he moved with his family to Sarasota, Florida, where he opened a dental practice on beautiful Siesta Key.
He was living his dream: a rewarding and successful dental practice, a loving wife and two healthy children, and a waterfront home. He was a respected member of the community and had many good friends and all the amenities of a good life that money could buy.
Then it all began to change. What started subtly as some symptoms common with stress, evolved into a life-threatening ordeal, taking him on a roller-coaster ride through physical, mental, and emotional turmoil. There were times that he stood alone in his suffering, without any support, understanding, or hope of recovery. Yet, somehow, he pulled himself through it all.
Dr. Scheckner’s desire to find meaning to all that has happened to him over the past thirty years has driven him to speak out on what he truly believes is a national tragedy. His interests in medicine, nutrition, and health have guided him in his search for the truth about the effect of mercury in dentistry and in our environment. He has written many letters to legislators and the press about the danger of mercury in dentistry. He is published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy with a pediatric immunologist on mercury associated with autoimmune disorders. He has appeared on local television and radio talk shows. His story appeared several times in featured newspaper articles. He was an expert consultant to the Florida State Board of Dentistry and was an instructor for dental assistants.
His goal in Time Bomb from Within is to question why something as insidious as mercury is still being approved for use today. He wants the public to be informed about the toxic effect of mercury in dental amalgams.
His desire is to enlighten both public officials and health professionals on the hazard of low level sub-acute chronic mercury exposure as a contributor and possible cause of many health problems. To accomplish this gives meaning to all he has endured.ver menos
