he diagnosed every single person who visited his clinic with mercury toxicity even though some of them never had vaccines or amalgams....their was 3 people who annonymously visited him who were in optimum health complaining of fake symptoms and he used his tests and said they needed to chelate and go on a candida diet...but then he states candida is your friend??? too many contradictions and over diagnosing people with things they dont ned to worry about unless its serious.

Huggins was the reason my life changed.

My Mercury Story

I would bet anyone who lives on this planet has a degree of mercury toxicity...babies are being born with it.

sad but true.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I think the persons that were cured by his advise may think a little diffently

Most people, would benefit from mercury chelation and a candida diet, simply because it lessens toxicity in the body and both of these things are common because many of us are not as healthy as we think we are. A certain amount of mercury and yeast overgrowth is probably present in the majority of human beings, even those pretty healthy.

Everybody has a certain amount of toxicity in their system, but those in good health even on pretty bad diets maybe lucky enough that they have an immune system keeping things at bay. But even they would probably benefit from some detox. Sometimes a so-called healthy person can have many things catch up with them later, when they had previously gotten away with it for so long.

I definitely admire people like Huggins who bring our attention to these problems.

However, I do not admire anybody who begins to allow some greed to take over, or any deception to creep into their diagnosis. not say Huggins does this, but I am sure some of them do. I've come across it myself and you can catch them out sometimes too. They get VERY irate when you start facing them with their own contradictions and saying one thing to you and then the opposite later on.

If you have a good memory for things like that, you'll find yourself becoming frustrated with it very quickly and disheartened by certain health professionals.

I was very ill and a doctor, without even testing me, suggested I try a candida diet. What did I have to lose? By my symptoms alone, he felt that there might be a yeast overgrowth. He happened to be right, yet no test was given. Because of what he did, my symptoms were greatly relieved and my depression lifted.

But he didn't "pretend" he knew, he was very honest with me and simply decided to give it a go. I admire honesty like that.

I've always believed in practicing the age old precept, question authority. It is absolutely vital that this attitude be maintained when in the face of authority, any authority - be they governmental, educational or even the author of a book.

I enjoy reading this forum because it attempts to expose various lies and misconceptions in the media (and elsewhere) today. Russ' amalgam story is something I immensely enjoyed reading; I love the brazen persistence with which he approached the seemingly zombie-like office workers of his tale (“Alisha in Billing”, et al.)

But ‘Question Authority’ is a two-fold maxim. It means that not only should the questioners question but that they, themselves, should, in turn, be questioned. Full transparency.

Now I don’t own and nor have I read the Huggins book. So this entire thread is little more than hearsay to me. Nevertheless, Huggins likely began his career as a revolutionary questioner who opened the eyes of many – the trouble is people do have a tendency to become corrupt as their success/influence/power/etc. grows. Even if Huggins is a completely honest individual, he too should be questioned – especially now that he’s making money off his informing people about amalgam fillings. Arguably, the sort of information in his book would be more humanely delivered to the world if provided free (for example, published on the internet) – though that’s not to say he’s doing anything wrong per se. It’s just something to consider.

So, is Huggins over-diagnosing people for scurrilous reasons? Let’s hope not. But one should never let apathy reign. So I’m happy to see that others are at least questioning his motives and/or sincerity (even if the accusations against him turn out not to be true.)

As I said in a previous post. I love the controversy this forum generates and it's great that people are mad and question protocals and methods because it means they are very aware and ready for action. Whether Dr. huggins is good or bad does matter, BUT as you gather more knowledge you are going to have a bigger magnifying glass to examine most of these Doctors and hopefully come away with the right answer!

its just that people faked illness and he diagnosed them....thats def not right.

Then you get people always diagnosing candida when really its only when you have HIV or AIDS and your immune shuts but they over diagnose it and make peopel scared of foods that they can or cant eat.

Than their is all the fake testing like Vega and muscle testing and a machine which tells you what colours...its not licences and its really bad and misleading for people.

the people who do get better is because they resolve their fear of amalgams causing the problems in the first place.

you're pathetic anonymous.

You are an idiot. There are many people who felt terrible for many years and did not know why. They didn't know that mercury fillings are harmful. They got better after removal. So it was not their amalgam phobia making them sick.

they just happenned to get better because they healed themselves over time...what made them suggest it was the amalgams? possibly a FEAR!!!

Im not an idiot i think you are all rude for calling me that when I am not offending anyone im just stating my opnion.

I think over diagnosin gis really misleading for people who are already sufferring adn dont need that burden.

What on earth is happening to this forum? When I joined this forum in July 2006 I found it to be a really nurturing and caring space. Over the last few months it has deteriorated rapidly into a downward spiral of sarcasm and hostility.

Forums like this exist to open the channels of communication with friendly advice and banter. If new potential members have a good old gander at some of the recent posts I don't believe that they are going to have much interest in hanging around.

Please please please stop with the arguments. This was, or should I say 'is' a unique forum so let's keep it that way. There are plenty of other hostile philosophical debating forums out there. Don't get me wrong, debating is fine as long as it is coupled with sincerity and respect for other people.

Peace and love to you all.
Rachie

you are offending the people , myself included, who have gone through sheer hell because of amalgams, and the circumstances leave no doubt for them that amalgams were responsible. You are offensive because of your ignorance. Get your facts straight before opening your mouth. If there's anyone rude over here, it's you.

Most of the problems on this forum with flaming and rude behavior seems to come from anonymous posters. Quite possibly they are sent by the big powers of conventional medicine or are the dark spirited entities plaguing mankind(rotten people who have nothing better to do). Anyways, we might help ourselves by not replying to them. They love power struggles and when they see that they get under our skins they just enjoy that immensly.

Dear Rachie I couldnt agree more. I have recently spoken to Russ about this rude behaviour. When I first joined this forum it was a place of haven and sanctuary to us suffering, where we could get love, suport and friendship. Yes there was always the odd Anon that would come on and try to annoy people, but things have definately changed, You can read a thread which you think will be helpful and all you find is a slanging match. Russ suggested to me that the caring people have a separate place where we could converse in peace. Im afraid I disagreed. Why the hell should we. Whats this forum for? As I believed, support and helpful tips. I would rather leave than let people drive me off because of their continual bickering and I know Im not the only one who is sick to death of it. Its become ridiculous. I know we all have off days and anger phases where we almost have to sound off, but it seems like some people are just using the forum now to slag each other off. If things dont change you can always come on and private post people who will suport you in a loving and kind way. Bless you, you obviously have a good heart. Love Tracy x

Rachie and Tracy.....I feel exactly the same way, I am disgusted and hurt that this forum has turning into such a slagging match. I think the anonymous posters should be banned. You are right, they are causing most of the trouble. Although some of the named unregistered are pretty rude too.

Let us just not answer these trolls and let them argue with themselves...they are probably amongst the worst mercury poisoned and we need to pray for them.

Let's reclaim our forum with love.

Sandi

we should will give them the benefit of the doubt ,they may not know how to register on the web sight ,so if any anonymous posters are out there and would like to become a registered forum member ,but not sure how to register please let us know so we can help you through the process

Huggins a quack? You are off your rocker! Yes, he might have been VERY WRONG on a lot of points, but give him credit where credit is due. He helped expose a major problem in our health system, has a good heart, and helped a lot of patients on to a road of better health.

I would be honored if I could have done a fraction of what he has done! Read his books, and tell me again he is a quack. I found them to be quite good.

Fear of amalgams? The evidence is clear, like lead, mercury is a heavy metal, and has devastating effects on the human system. I would bet, dollars to doughnuts, that this thing has caused many fine people to have gone right down the drain, health first.

Hi GaryS, Tracy and Sandi,

Mmm sounds like there is a theme here with the anonymous posters. I have occasionally posted anonymously but usually always end the post with my name if I do so. Sounds like the best thing to do is to not reply to any hostile anonymous posts. JUST SIMPLY IGNORE THEM !!! If they don't get any response I don't think that they will hang around for long. Some people thrive on shock value I guess. I am so surprised that this happened in the first place. A forum about mercury just doesn't seem like the typical place that you would seek out to have a tongue lashing at everyone. Very strange - but then again, us humans are interesting creatures. You never know what people are going to do next. I am sure that in time things will return to normal.

By the way, I started on natural dessicated thyroid hormone today. We don't have Armour here in Australia unfortunately. 1 grain of my medication is equivalent to 65 mg. Does anyone know if one grain of Armour is also equal to 65mg. Anyway, not a big deal. I will just see how I get on as I gradually increase my dose bit by bit.

So Sandi are you finished with the Chemo treatment ? I bet you must have rattled your Oncologist somewhat with your knowledge of natural medicine. Did you find that there was conflict with that?

Hope everyone has a great day. Or should I say as best we can under the circumstances.

Cheers from Rachie

Hi Rachie: 60 mg = I grain of Armour, I believe.

Everyone:

Please never interpret my posts as an attack on anyone, I really have no ego involved here. Like most people here, I am seeking my health first and foremost. I reread my earlier post and could see how someone could see that as an attack maybe - it isn't. I would want you to know that as much as I defend Huggins, I have found myself questioning some of the same things as some of the posters here. My point is merely that we very much need people like Huggins to get things started.

That said, I think that all posters have something valuable to say - I find it very interesting to read these, and I try to alway read these with the goal of learning as much as I can. Who knows, someone here might really figure out the way this process should be done that is the best, safest way for everyone?

Very nice to hear the unity of good people working together for a good cause. Thank you all.

I have been and will continue to ban anonymous posters who stir up contention without cause or benefit.

Thanks again.
