1. My Opinion Of Possible Problems:

a. a. If one's dental fillings (amalgams) are metal, especially mercury-silver, they could be causing severe mental and physical health problems. My problems were OBESITY and emotional. There is a mountain of evidence collected by dentists/researchers around the world that substantiate this claim. The American Dental Association does not agree. They say that the mercury-silver dental fillings (amalgams) are safe. I will present you with some of the evidence and directions to obtain more information, along with my personal experiences and testimonies from other people, and you make up your own mind.

2. My Opinion Of Possible Solutions:

b. a. Have all of the metal fillings (amalgams) removed and replaced. Replacement materials vary with different dentists but non metal ones are basically porcelain, and composite material.

3. Books:

c. a. It's All In Your Head by Hal A. Huggins, D.D.S.

d. b. The Cure for All Diseases by Hulda Regehr Clark Ph.D., N.D.

4. People And Products:

e. a. Dr. Huggins's Office, 1-866-948-4638.

Sells the detox supplements to detox the body of mercury.

f. b. Peak Energy Performance Laboratory, 1-800-331-2303.

Does the blood tests for your bodies compatibility to material that can be used in your mouth.

5. 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).

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.
