 My Experiences And Opinions:

I started taking Dr. Huggin's supplements to remove the stored mercury from my
cells in May, 1991. The change in my mental and emotional states were
astounding. Each month I got better and better. My memory returned and my
depression left. My energy increased and my anxiety decreased. My entire
personality was changing. What a joy! I had blood and urine tests taken to
record the loss of mercury. The blood test confirmed the amount of mercury that
was being dumped into my body each day and the urine test confirmed the amount
that was being excreted due to the Huggin's supplements. I was excreting more
mercury than I was taking in. To be exact, the test indicated that I was taking
in .5 micrograms of mercury and excreting 5.0 micrograms. After a few months
the changes in myself were so enormous that I made up my mind then and there
that I wanted this to be a permanent change in my life. The only way to insure
that was to have all of the mercury amalgams removed.So, I called the Huggin's
telephone number and asked for a Dentist referral in my area. Also, having
interviewed a variety of people for this book, I had several referrals of my
own.

I then proceeded to call all of the dentists and interviewed them over the
phone. Either talk to the dentist or someone in authority in the office to
elicit the information that you desire. Do not go in for a consultation until
you have done this. First of all, the consultation will cost you money.
Secondly, you don't even want to use a dentist that is not using the proper
protocol for mercury removal. I had read the book Its All In Your Head and knew
the Huggin's protocol by heart. I also knew that improper removal of the
mercury could cause serious and permanent damage to my health. The Huggin's
protocol for mercury removal was taught by Dr. Huggins in his Colorado clinic
to those dentists that were interested in learning the methodology. Dr. Huggins
stopped placing mercury amalgam fillings in his patients' mouths in 1973. He is
recognized as one of the leading authorities in the world on mercury amalgam
removal. Huggin's protocol for mercury removal was as follows and these are the
questions that you want to ask the dentist or his receptionist over the
telephone BEFORE you waste your time or money on a consultation: (This was the
protocol when I had my amalgams removed in 1992. New technology and research
might have changed it).

Dental Amalgams (Fillings), Part 2

1. Electro Ferese Machine (EFM) - Does the dentist have one in his clinic? The
EFM is designed to attract errant mercury atoms that escape into the
environment while amalgam removal is taking place. Generally, the EFM is
attached to the ceiling of his work station. This is very important, as you do
not want to absorb these escaping atoms into your body via inhalation, etc.
When you do go in for a consultation, ask to visibly see this machine.

2. Air Exchange Machine (AEM) - This usually sits on the floor in the work
station and physically exchanges the air in the room several times per hour.
You should actually see the AEM to ascertain the dentist is in compliance with
the Huggin's protocol.

3. Rubber Dam - This is a square piece of rubber that is placed into your mouth
as a safeguard against mercury pieces and/or vapor being swallowed or absorbed
during removal. The rubber square is about half the size of a Kleenex tissue
and is laid over your open mouth and kept in place with wire frames that fit
outside your mouth around your lips. The dentist puts pressure on the rubber
around the tooth that he is going to work on so that the rubber breaks in that
spot only, adhering firmly around the tooth. That leaves only the tooth to be
worked on exposed, effectively protecting the other teeth, tongue, throat and
mouth with the rubber dam. While it is difficult to explain, the procedure is
quite painless and absolutely necessary. I would not let a dentist touch me for
mercury extractions if he did not use this exact procedure.

4. Water Exchange - Constant water/air suction should be used during removal to
insure that all of the mercury is immediately removed from your mouth, thus
eliminating any chance of absorption from mercury vapors.

5. Sequential Removal - The dentist should have a machine that reads electrical
current in your mouth. This machine is called an Amalgameter. It reads positive
and negative electrical current in microamps. A ground is placed in your mouth
and a probe is touched to each tooth which has a filling in it. The tooth will
either have a positive or negative reading. Sequential removal means that
amalgams are removed in order, according to the electrical charge. For example,
the quadrant having the highest negative reading is done first, moving to the
quadrant with the lowest negative reading. Then, the quadrant having the
highest positive reading is done moving to the quadrant with the lowest
positive reading on the Almagameter. COMPLETE RECOVERY IS SELDOM ACHIEVED IF
THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY. A quadrant is a fourth of your mouth.
You have the upper left teeth forming one quadrant, the lower left another. The
upper right and lower right form the additional two quadrants. After each
amalgam extraction, resetting of the current has to be done because the fields
change.

When I had my current tested it indicated I had a total of 80 microamps. The
current test sheets for myself and my husband are in the back of this book.

Dr. Voll of Germany has said that there should be no more than six microamps of
current in anyone's mouth. He has also said that the acupuncture meridians in
the body are adversely effected by any current greater than six microamps and
that this aids the process of disease. Picture these meridians as guitar
strings running from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head. There is
concern about negative current at one microamp. It has been said that some of
the dramatic improvements seen in some people after amalgam removal is due to
the changes in their electrical field due to the removing of the negative
fillings along with getting rid of the mercury. 6. Protamine Zinc Insulin (PZI)
- Be sure that the dentist uses a shot of PZI with each quadrant of amalgam
removed.

7. Immunization Cycle - Avoid having all appointments on the same day of the
week in order to avoid interfering with the 21 day immune cycle. I had mine
removed one quadrant a day for four consecutive days. On Monday one quadrant of
amalgams was removed and on Thursday the fourth one was removed.

8. Dycal - Make certain that the dentist does NOT use Dycal as a base. Dycal
causes electrical current to be generated just as the metals do. All metals,
including gold, cause electrical current fields in the mouth. To eliminate
these fields, you must eliminate all metals.

9. Do not take vitamin C on the same day as mercury removal takes place because
it reduces the pain killing action of the Novocain.

Dental Amalgams (Fillings), Part 3

Now that we've covered the things that you must interview your dentist on,
let's cover the things that you must do to have the best results from your
amalgam removal.

1. Dietary changes are important. This includes the elimination of caffeine,
sugar, and alcohol from your diet, and of course, smoking. I believe that
organic, raw, fresh fruits and vegetables are necessary daily to achieve and
maintain optimal health.

2. The taking of supplements to remove the mercury stored in your tissues and
brain cells. These supplements can be purchased from Dr. Huggin's office. Also,
several doctors recommend chlorella as a good detox method. There are several
other ways to detox, see #20, Detox Body and #21, Detox Brain.

3. As per author, the taking of Aloe Vera Gel. See subject #3, Aloe Vera.

Now, for the final aspect of this procedure. What do you replace the
mercury/silver amalgam with? To this question, I am happy to say, there are
good answers.

To begin with, there is a blood test. You can call Peak Energy Performance
Laboratory in Colorado (1-800-331-2303) and they will send you a kit. You can
have the blood drawn locally, then mailed overnight to Peak Energy Performance
laboratory in Colorado. They analyze the blood and will give you a list of the
replacement materials that you are compatible with. The procedure was called a
Compatibility Panel 307 in 1992. The results are given to you and you can take
them to your dentist who then, collaboratively, helps you select the best
replacement materials for your amalgams. When I did this, the test revealed
that I was very compatible with a white filling material called Conquest. This
is a white, ground-glass powder mixed with a plastic binder. There are several
different name-brands of materials similar to Conquest, but my blood test
indicated I was least reactive to the chemical components in Conquest (Post
Comp II by Generic Pentron).

As I stated earlier, do not let the dentist use Dycal as a base for the filler
in your teeth. The best results overall are with a base called Dropsin. A
"base" is a coat of insulation usually placed over the pulp chamber where the
nerve lives to decrease the thermal shock of hot and cold sensitivity. Now, for
the crowns. If the hole that is left in your tooth after the amalgam is removed
is going to be too big, then a normal "filling" will not be suitable. It will
not "hold". In this case, you will need either a crown or an inlay. At this
point you have four choices, of which, in my opinion, two are good and two are
bad ones. Let me explain the good and bad of all four choices: The four choices
are pure porcelain, porcelain over metal, gold, and cast glass. Please remember
that these are my opinions and these choices were available in 1992. There
might be new materials on the market that are better today.

1. & 2. Porcelain and Porcelain over metal- Porcelain was my choice. Porcelain
comes in two ways;

a. Pure porcelain bonded to your tooth

b. Porcelain on top of metal (metal is 86% pure gold) cemented to your tooth.

Since I don't believe in using metal of any type in one's mouth, even gold, I
chose the pure porcelain. As you have learned in this book, gold does give off
an electrical charge and you will have an electrical field in your mouth if you
use it, although according to experts it is a very low field. Also, you NEVER
mix gold and mercury/silver amalgam in a mouth, not even for one day.

The downside for pure porcelain is two-fold. Porcelain is not as strong as
metal/porcelain crowns. Heat and cold sensitivity lasts longer due to the fact
that porcelain is simply bonded to the tooth while metal/porcelain crowns have
a metal and cement base that adds a "buffer" separating the nerve in the tooth
from heat and cold.

There are many different brands of porcelain. Since aluminum is an ingredient
in porcelain, you must be careful to use one brand of porcelain only. Research
data on the brand "Di Cor" shows a 100 to 500 thousand year half-life in
aluminum leakage. In other words, you don't have to worry about it in your
lifetime because it will take a minimum of 100 thousand years for half of the
aluminum to leak out of the porcelain.

3. Gold - The third choice is gold. A good point about gold is that it is the
strongest choice, a bad point is that it will create an electrical field in
your mouth which can be harmful to your health according to experts.

4. The fourth choice is Cast Glass. This is probably one of the best materials,
but it is not strong and the crowns can break and crack with hard usage.

Taking everything into consideration, I elected to use pure porcelain and I
have been happy with the choice. I have absolutely no electrical field in my
mouth and the sensitivity to hot and cold diminished in a short time.

Everyone is different with their level of tooth sensitivity. I have talked to
people who hardly notice a sensitivity at all while others had varying degrees
of sensitivity. In my case, sensitivity was acute for several months, though
within nine months it was barely discernible. It has been several years since I
had my crowns put in and there is no sensitivity at all. I have been told that
I am the exception to the rule, that most people don't have as much sensitivity
as I experienced.

Dental Amalgams (Fillings), Part 4

In the back of this book there are copies of the electrical testing that was
done on my mouth on the day of consultation and each day of amalgam removal.
Your dentist MUST check the electrical fields each time you come in for amalgam
removal because the fields can change from quadrant to quadrant. This is part
of the sequential removal procedure discussed earlier. Also, in the back of
this book is a copy of the electrical testing conducted on my husband. The
electrical field in his mouth tested at 97 microamps. It took him many years to
make up his mind concerning removal, but I am happy to report that in August of
1998 he finally had them removed and also did subsequent detoxing of body and
brain. During my mercury/amalgam extraction I also supported my adrenal glands
by taking pantothenic acid and vitamin C. I took this combination for months
prior to the extraction, but eliminated the vitamin C on the mornings scheduled
for extraction, electing to take it in the afternoons (recall, vitamin C
decreases the effectiveness of Novocain) and I continued taking it for some
time afterward. I also added a freeze-dried adrenal gland supplement which I
took before, during, and after amalgam removal. It just seems to me that since
the adrenal glands are so sensitive to stress, that I should support them to
the best of my ability during the extraction process. The stress on the body is
tremendous at that time.

One more bit of information. My amalgams were removed in January of that year,
but I didn't start losing weight until three months later, in April. From April
until August, I had lost 20 pounds. I believe the delay was the time necessary
for the Pineal to recover from 30 years of "shell shock" in being bombarded
with electro-magnetic fields. There is probably a time of adjustment and repair
necessary for it to start functioning properly.

I must add here that the process of extraction was absolutely painless!!!! I
never had one uncomfortable moment. And, my energy level was high and my mental
condition, i.e., emotional stability, etc., was excellent. I think it was
partially due to the adrenal support and the liter of Aloe that I drank daily,
consuming four liters in four consecutive days of extraction. At that time I
was taking Coate's Aloe which comes in liter bottles (33.8 oz. in a liter Vs 32
oz. in a quart). From laboratory reports, at that time, I knew that Coate's
Aloe had between 1500 and 2500 mg./L of the healing ingredients I sought,
therefore, one liter each day was adequate. If I had been taking R-Pure Aloe, I
would have had to only take three ounces per day, as R-Pure Aloe guaranteed, at
that time, 448 mg. per ounce of the healing ingredients. My goal was to consume
a minimum of 1200 mg. of Aloe's healing ingredient per day.

In ending this chapter, I would like to expound on the importance of selecting
the dentist. The dentist that removed my amalgams is in West Palm Beach,
Florida, and his name is Dr. Medlock. He was trained by Dr. Huggins and is a
very sincere, conscientious person. Working with him and his staff was a pure
delight. The staff always greeted me with an upbeat, happy attitude and
demonstrated the utmost concern for my safety and comfort.

Dr. Medlock's knowledge and input helped me tremendously in deciding on the
proper crowns for my teeth. Thanks to his desire for continuing education, a
recent seminar he had attended provided him new-found information on using the
Di Cor porcelain.

Not long after I had finished my extractions, Dr. Medlock returned from another
seminar on mercury extraction where he discovered a substitute for the rubber
dam. It is a combination drill and semi-rubber dam all in one.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank him again for the safe,
successful mercury extraction that I experienced. He has also been helpful in
providing me with some of the necessary names and techniques listed in this
book, not to mention his critique of this subject for accuracy.

See the back of this book for the tooth chart, "The Teeth and the Body." This
chart shows the relationship between each tooth and a corresponding body part.
I thank the American Academy of Biological Dentistry for permission to print
this chart.

Now, the last reference I am going to make in this topic occurred on December
16, 1990, on national television. Sixty Minutes, the popular television show,
did an expose on mercury amalgams. I have the transcript of the show. Anyone
can order it by calling Burrelle's Information Services at 1-800-777-TEXT, OR
Journal Graphics 1-800-825-5746, or write to Journal Graphics, 1535 Grant
Street, Denver Colorado 80203-1843. The television segment is entitled "Is
There Poison in Your Mouth? To order it you must request it by date and segment
title. I highly recommend that you order this transcript and read it. The
contents are mind boggling. The following information is excerpted from the
transcript with permission from CBS.

---- Copyright, CBS Inc., 1990. All Rights reserved. Originally broadcast in
December, 1990, over the CBS Television network and affiliates ----

Morley Safer: "Is there poison in your mouth? The American Dental Association
says there isn't, but some of its members say there is and have stopped using
it. Mercury is more poisonous than lead or even arsenic.

Because its been around so long and because it was assumed that the mercury was
made stable when mixed with other metals, amalgam fillings were never tested
for safety - one of those remedies that the Food and Drug Administration
automatically approved, but now a growing number of scientists, doctors and
dentists are saying silver amalgams should be banned. Last summer, the EPA
banned mercury from indoor latex paint because of mercury vapor. The vapor
level in this patient's mouth after chewing for 10 minutes is 92 times higher
than the mercury-vapor level in a newly painted room - three times higher than
the U.S. Government allows in the work-place.

Dental Amalgams (Fillings), Part 5

A number of medical schools are looking at the relationship between mercury
vapor in the mouth and a whole variety of diseases. Alzheimer's, arthritis and
colitis have all been linked to mercury poisoning. Mercury in the work-place
has produced kidney damage, brain damage, birth defects and symptoms of
multiple sclerosis. Up until seven years ago, the ADA said no vapor at all was
released from fillings. The ADA is adamant that mercury in a patient's mouth is
safe - so adamant that in 1986 - it changed its code of ethics. It became a
violation of that code for any dentist to recommend the removal of amalgam
because of mercury.

The Inclusion of the "Is There Poison In Your Mouth?" Television script does
not imply endorsement of the author's editorial content therein.

By changing its code of ethics the ADA can now charge a dentist with fraud, get
expert witnesses to testify against him, and revoke his license. Therefore any
dentist that speaks out against mercury dental amalgams could lose his license
and livelihood! And, it HAS BEEN DONE. Please read the 60 minute transcript to
find out more.

I end this chapter on a note of sadness. It has been called to my attention
that the panthers of the Everglades of Florida, an endangered species, are
being killed by mercury poisoning. There are only a few dozen left in the
Everglades and recently several have died. Panther No. 27, as the 4-year-old
female was called, had a higher mercury level in its body than did victims of
history's most notorious mercury poisonings, at an industrial town in Japan.

If mercury in the environment is this deadly, think about having a toxic waste
dump in your very own mouth, spewing out vapors every second of every day that
you live, and for that matter, long after you die.

I hope this chapter has helped to enlighten you, to open your eyes to the lies
that are being fed to you concerning the SAFETY of mercury amalgams. It's your
physical and mental health that are being destroyed. It's you that is being
cheated out of the full enjoyment of life which can only come hand in hand with
a healthy, robust body and mind. I made my decision, and I had all of my
mercury amalgams removed in January of 1992.

For those of you with any doubt as to mercury's dangers, I would recommend that
you read a book called "Beating Alzheimer's" by Tom Warren. It is listed in the
back of this book under the section entitled, Recommended Books to Read. Tom
Warren was diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease and for six years he and his
wife searched for answers to beat his INCURABLE disease. "Beating Alzheimer's"
is his own true story, and in his book, Tom devotes an entire chapter to
mercury fillings.

The November 11, 1988, issue of Dental and Health Facts News Letter, published
by the Foundation For Toxic Free Dentistry, reports that a group of researchers
at the University of Kentucky found increased mercury in Alzheimer's brain
tissue.

The Stortebecker Foundation for Research, in Stockholm, Sweden, reports that
the high concentrations of metallic mercury found post-mortem in the brain
originate mainly from the mercury in dental amalgam fillings. However, far more
dangerous are similarly released mercurial fumes, which settle in the mucous
membranes of the upper region of the nasal cavity and are then transported
directly to the brain. A silver filling is composed of five dissimilar metals:
50 percent pure elemental mercury, 35 percent silver, 13 percent tin, two
percent copper, and a trace amount of zinc. When these dissimilar metals
combine with saliva, a battery effect occurs. Studies indicate that an
electrical current accelerates the release of hazardous mercury vapor.

A research paper entitled Dental "Silver" Tooth Fillings: A source of Mercury
Exposure Revealed by Whole-Body Image Scan and Tissue Exposure and written by
Leszek J. Hahn, et al, published on August 28, 1989, by the Departments of
Radiology and Medical Physiology, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It
ended all speculation about the stability and dangers of mercury silver
fillings by reporting what happened when radioactive mercury-silver fillings
were placed in the teeth of adult sheep. Mercury appeared in high
concentrations in the sheep's' kidneys, livers, jaw tissue, and
gastrointestinal tracts. In each animal, it was found in lower concentrations
in the frontal cortices, occipital cortices, thalami, cerebrospinal fluid,
pituitary gland, thyroid and adrenal. It was found throughout their whole
bodies - within twenty-nine days.
