Ordinary person,
If you can't afford to get all of your amalgams replaced now, you can have them removed and replaced with temporary fillings which are not toxic and which last about a year.
Oh My Goodness--[*slaps self on forehead*--why didn't I think of that? I've had temporary fillings before!]--THANK YOU SO MUCH for pointing that out, Anonymous, and saving me from plunging further into debt!
I'll DEFINITELY explore that option when I get to the dentist.

BTW, I've been researching my options, and have found a dentist practice in the Chicago area that follows the Huggins protocol - Drs Boem and Rothchild. They're the only ones in the state (I got this info by calling the 1 800 number on Dr Huggins website).
I have made an appointment with them for next month and they are going to be obtaining my 18 x-rays from Dr Garcia's office. Somehow, I'd assumed that Dr Gracia also followed the Huggins protocol, but there you go. I feel much more comfortable now in mymind about going ahead with what needs to be done.
I'll post follow-ups as things develop.
Wishing everyone health and happiness.
OP
