The Education
Chapter_Title 13

As we continued the consultation, Dr. Behm took voltage readings on each filling using a Rita meter. The various materials in the amalgam fillings interact and generate measurable electrical voltages directly on each filling. The dentist records the measurement from each filling and uses the information to determine which quadrant of the mouth will have the fillings removed first, second, and so on.

The currently-accepted procedure is to have the quadrant with the most negative readings removed first. For me, this is the upper left quadrant. The most positive one is removed last. For me, this is the lower right.

Now, Hal Huggins seems to indicate in his book, "It's All In Your Head," that he recommends that the fillings actually be removed in voltage order, one by one, from most negative to most positive. The only problem with this is that it requires the dentist to work all over the mouth in a rather disorganized fashion. This is very time-consuming, but Hal Huggins says, in his experience, it gives the patient a better chance of detoxifying properly.

Another well-known dentist's book we researched said never to cross the mid-line in a single removal session. In other words, never work on both the upper and lower part of the mouth in a single session.

The 7-Day Immune Cycle

Either way, it is well accepted that you never work on a patient 7 days after the initial work. Nor should you work on the patient 14 or 21 days after. This is because you will undoubtedly be exposed to some amount of mercury during appointments. This plays havoc with your immune system. Because your immune system operates in a 7-day cycle, it is weakened 7 days after a significant challenge. Therefore, you should never challenge the immune system in multiples of 7 days. Interesting, huh? Hal's book has very compelling studies and trials to back this up.

Now, if you try to combine all of the experience mentioned above, including 7-day cycles, not crossing the mid-line, and removing fillings in reverse voltage order, you can see how it would be almost prohibitive and incredibly time-consuming, especially if you have to cross the mid-line from one removal to the next. We, therefore, elected to have it all done at one time. The dentist agreed that it would be the best plan.
