We yelp and tell him "not bite" and even distract him with chew toys but nothing works, he really don't want to give up on him but its really stressing us out.
I notied the other day that his teeth are starting to fall out, does that mean that his teething will be coming to an end soon?
Can anyone please help us?

I'm wondering if you have taken him to obedience classes? If not that is a fine place to start. Teething may have a bit to do with the biting, but in my experience the pups want to chew on just about anything, and doesn't explain in total his aggressive biting on your feet hands and face.
Has he been checked by a vet recently? If so, did you talk to your vet about his biting? If no recent vet check, give him/her a call, explain the situation you have, and ask for their help. Vets are around for more than just giving vaccines to dogs. In behaviour problems it is always a good idea to rule out physical/health issues that may be causative or a contributing factor to the problem.
Whilst there are many other techniques you could try, I really recommend at least a phone call to your vet for advice.
Good luck
