Hal Huggins Obituary

Dr. Hal Huggins passed away peacefully at his Colorado Springs home Saturday, November 29, 2014. He was 77.

Dr. Huggins rightfully earned the title of "Elder Statesman" of Holistic Dentistry. He is also known as a leading pioneer and the "Grand Father" of identifying and treating medical problems caused by toxic dental materials.

Dr. Huggins received his DDS degree over 50 years ago at the University of Nebraska and practiced for decades in Colorado Springs. Continuing his education in 1990, he received his post-doc master's degree from the University of Colorado.

He presented over 2500 lectures in 47 of the US States and 16 foreign countries. He authorized many books, wrote over 50 articles and gave over 1000 radio/TV interviews, including 60 Minutes Australia (1989) and 60 Minutes New Zealand (2007).

As founder of the Multi-Discipline Alliance of Professionals he ensured continuing education for dentists desiring to learn the Huggins dental protocol. Training includes helping their patients avoid and recover from ailments caused by harmful dental procedures.

Dr. Huggins was a caring and sensitive man who dedicated his life's work to helping humanity. He was loved by his patients, professional colleagues and staff for his compassion, generosity and willingness to give of himself.

His greatest joy was helping those on their quest to recover from the many degenerative diseases caused by silver (mercury) fillings and heavy metal toxicity from other dental materials.

He is survived by his three children, David Huggins and Chip Elizabeth, both of Colorado Springs, and Holden "Denny" Conover of Alaska; two grandchildren, Patricia and Michael Conover; and one great grandchild.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, December 6, 2014 at 1:00 pm at the Center for Spiritual Living, 3685 Jeannine Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80917.

In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to the Toxic Element Research Foundation (TERF), 5082 List Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80919.

Rashanii Kickinghorse dr. Huggins you saved my life. I went slowly dying when I came to your clinic and you gave me my life back. God bless you.

I am so glad I followed your advice Dr. Huggin's. I did not have anyone in my camp - friends or relatives at the time, but your clinic, educational information, books, etc. where very helpful in leading me down the right path. Thank you so very much for all of your caring and knowledge. I had thirteen fillings (mostly large) and three root canals removed. Since then I have not ended up in the hospital unable to walk! No one seemed to know what was wrong with me. Thank you again for all of your blessings and hard work. It paid off. I had my dental work done in 1992 and am now 79 years old. Merci, Merci

Doc, you are remembered and missed. My Davey has gone on now too. We enjoyed times together on this earth and I am expecting to see you both again on the other side. The peace of the Lord be with us all.

Just now learned of Hal's passing... as I was recommending his books and videos to a friend, and searching links for those to share. My husband had his amalgams and roots canals removed at a group clinic supervised by Dr, Huggins in Colorado Springs. We attended Hal's talks in between procedures- over the course of several days- and were so impressed with the deep

We will miss you Doc. You were a wonderful person and helped so many, including my daughter, who would not be alive today if it wasn't for you. Bless you on your new journey.

Dear David , Elizabeth, and Denny
It is with a heavy heart and a tearful eye that I write these condolences for the loss of your Father and your children's Grandfather. I became a student of your father, Dr. Huggins , in 2006 when I read his book, It's All In Your Head. Your Dad's hard work is the reason I have been able to continue my work as a Veterinarian in Northeast Ohio. I had hoped to visit him and thank him in person but I guess I will have to wait till we meet in a bigger Clinic! I will always be one of his students and with the knowledge he passed on to me in his lectures and books I pray I never disappoint him ! I was always taught to leave a place in better shape then when I found it! Your Father has done that!
May God Bless each and everyone of you in your journey through life and keep you safe.
Always a friend.
Dr. Troy J. Parks, Hubbard, Ohio
