I am so frustrated. 10 years ago I had amalgram fillings that cracked off and have been exposed ever since. Soon after they cracked off I started getting headaches, eye pain, and light sensitivity. I have been to over 20 doctors with no answers. I went to neurologist, internal medicine doctors, opthamologists, infectious disease doctors. You name it I have tried it. I even thought I had lyme disease. I recently called the Hal Huggins hotline for information about their protocol and a referral to a mercury free dentist that does their protocol. They wanted to charge me 35.00 for a book that covers their protocol. And when I questioned what the 35.00 was for the girl from his office was very snotty and defensive. I am like it takes 35.00 just for you to tell me about his protocol and the costs involved. On his website it says to call for any information about costs and a treatment plan. Then I was referred to a Huggins protocol dentist in my area. I asked how much the cost of removal and fillings are. They were so rude and cold. I was floored. They were saying oh it's 360.00 for the initial visit with x-rays. I said well how much is it per tooth and such. The girl said well we don't quote prices over the phone until we see your mouth. I could not believe that she could not tell me in general the prices. I live on SSI and have to be able to afford this somehow. I mean these people are so cold. I said I needed a letter stating that they believed my conditions can be improved in order for me to get social security to pay for it. She said they would not write the letter until I paid for the first visit and biocompatibility test. I then hung up with her cuz she was just too rude for me to not end up exploding on her. So I called the other dentist they referred me to. This one was wore then the other place. I mean if you are on a budget and metion that to Huggins dentists they treat you like you are worthless. I mean it is depressing enough having to deal with pain for the last 10 years over this stuff and then they have to make it worse by being so rude. It sounds like if you don't have the money then Huggins and his protocol could care less about you. His site make it sound like he is Mother Theresa's brother. Well I found out differently. I have decided not to deal with the Huggins protocol. I am looking for a biological dentist in the Chicago area next to see if they can be more flexible and accomodating. I mean when I am willing to pay for your service you need to treat me like a customers should be treated. I don't personally know if the huggins protocol is worth it. I just can't afford to blow money and then find out if it is or not.
