“Without a doubt, Dr. Ray Behm has my confidence.  Whenever I have a critical or delicate dental situation, he is definitely at the top of my short list of the most advanced and most capable biological dentists I would allow to work on me.

Why? Because he fully understands the relationship of the teeth to the health of the overall body (or lack of it), and he knows how to test and examine the patient to ensure the best chance for the most optimal outcome for each individual patient, as the unique individual he/she is.  This is something completely overlooked — with rare exception — in conventional dentistry.

His approach to his area of professional expertise is one that takes into consideration what is needed in order to remove obstacles to the attainment of greater health by ensuring that what he does either removes interference to the optimal functioning of the nervous system, and to ensure that the dental work that is done does not add to any body problems the patient is already working to overcome.

I have personally experienced only the most excellent care in Dr. Ray’s hands, including a recent procedure that was so expertly and efficiently done and which was accomplished without pain during or even after the procedure; ditto for my partner and his wife.  We all recommend him highly.   And we never recommend another health practitioner whom we would not personally utilize for our own health maintenance or health improvement needs.”

Thank you so much!  This was by FAR the best dental experienced I have EVER HAD!  Your staff and your technical care was far superior to others.  I have no problems whatsoever telling anyone to come see you for the best dental care.

Best regards,

I would recommend Dr. Behm to anyone.  His staff are extremely nice and helpful, and you begin to feel like “family” instead of a patient.  Your questions are answered and your comfort is taken into consideration.  I am a retired chiropractor and had an office for 20 years in Biloxy, MS on the Gulf Coast. 

After being told by a dentist here in my town that I needed a root canal, I began searching for a natural dentist.  I believe God led me to your website. 

Dr. Behm, you and your staff are so caring, kind and compassionate.  I really appreciate you involving my entire family in my dental experience. 

My kids really loved getting to come back and hold my hand during some of the fillings.  I am doing great so far except for a little soreness which is to be expected.  I will be contacting you later to schedule a checkup next summer.  Again, thanks for everything.

Russ Tanner, President of Herb Allure and his great story!

Just in case you’re interested, the dentist who replaced my fillings is Ray Behm, Natural Dentistry.  As you’ll read in the story, not only is he an excellent dentist, but is extremely knowledgeable about the issue of amalgams and mercury toxicity (and no, I don’t receive any compensation for saying so). 

We set up an appointment with Dr. Behm for Thursday July 13th for a consultation and x-rays.  We also set up an appointment for the actual removal on the 16th (Sunday).  I was impressed that the Dr. would work on Sundays.

The first impression we had from Dr. Behm’s office was how the receptionist—Mercedes—was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful.  This was not necessarily uncommon, though, as we called several other offices who’s staff were very helpful too.

My partner Laura and I must have kept her on the phone, drilling her with questions, for over 40 minutes, the first time we called!  Mercedes never missed a beat.  I was particularly impressed with the fact that the others in the office seemed equally well-informed (we talked to someone else soon after), and I was impressed with the fact that this office used special x-ray equipment that uses only 1/5th the amount of radiation as a conventional machine.  That’s important to me and showed that this office really is concerned with keeping up with the latest stuff and protecting their patients!

When we met with the Dr. Behm on Thursday, we were very impressed.  Laura and I were late because our truck broke down on the way.  The taxi driver told us we had “good karma” because he almost never hit all the green lights on Drew street.

I was encouraged with the attitude of the personnel that worked with the dentist.  Trudy promptly took us in for our X-rays.  I could tell that she took a real pride in her work.  She narrated for me as she did all her stuff and seemed to be proud to be using the “good” type of x-ray equipment in the office.  She also was exceptionally knowledgeable about the whole amalgam/mercury thing.  It quickly became apparent to me that the people in this office really were “into” what they do.  I like that… I like that a lot!  Even their computer screen-savers had a scrolling message that said, “Dr. Behm is the Best Dentist!”  I’d never seen anything like that before.

When I met with Dr. Behm, Laura sat in.  This was honestly like no other dentist appointment I’ve had before.  He narrated us through his entire initial inspection of my mouth showing strengths, weaknesses and explaining the causes and solutions.  He brought things to my attention that I’d never been aware of. 

Naturally, Laura and I drilled the dentist with questions and more questions.  I appreciated his mixture of kindness and frankness.  We shared with him what we had learned from our research (which he was obviously familiar with) and he replied by complementing our information with even more information from other sources.  He would often name the sources as he spoke about preferred methods of treatment, showing us that he obviously keeps up on all the latest research.

I honestly thought we’d go in and end up teaching some poor dentist a thing or two.  We often do… you know, we are in the field of research.  We have our noses in it all the time.   But this was not the case with Dr. Behm.  He shared a lot of information with us that we had not even heard of.  He was familiar with the work and research of several different doctors and even shared with us some of the apparent contradictions in each of their preferred methods of treatment.

During the session, the Behm performed kinesiology (muscle testing) on both of us.  This went on for over an hour!  During this time, the dentist tested different materials, although he often tends towards 4 that are generally considered to be really safe.  Laura tested good for DiamondLite, while I was among the 15% who don’t do so well with it.  I tested well for another one of the four well-known safe materials.

Please note that, although I don’t personally practice kinesiology, I know that there a many who do and claim to have tremendous results with it.  It is my personal preference to stay close to good science (there is a lot of politically-motivated “bad science” out there), but I fully understand the importance of allowing others to practice their conscience.  After all, I once believed that herbal supplements were quackery (even though I had nothing good to base that opinion on).  Now, the quality of my live is greatly enhanced by them.

After we were done, we ended up talking for awhile with Mercedes (who turned out to be the dentist’s wife).  She showed us a bunch of the books and videos that she keeps in the office to share with visitors.  This is an informed office!  And I might also add, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such organization.  This was one of the few offices—of any kind—where I’ve seen this level of organization . . . everything in its place!

Well, needless to say, by the time we left the office we were confident we had made a good decision.  Neither one of us were looking forward to Sunday (who looks forward to going to the dentist?), but we were comfortable with having Behm perform the work and very anxious to get the mercury out!

This is an edited excerpt from Russ’ whole story at http://herballure.com/HotTopics/MyMercuryStory.html

After 10 minutes or so I started to feel a semblance of being human again.  As my feet and hands started to get wrinkled, I started feeling fabulous.

After getting out of the tub, I realized I felt better than I had for several weeks.  There was a clarity, a calmness, a revitalization. I went to bed and had a peaceful, restful sleep.

The next morning I asked my wife “What was that stuff?” It was heavy metal/mercury detox clay that she had purchased at a whole body convention.  It is made by LL’s Detox Clay Baths.  Since then I take at least one bath a week, and feel a definite improvement in my clarity and energy levels.

The clay can be purchased at www.magneticclay.com.  This site has a lot of great information on their products and on toxicity in general.  It is called magnetic clay because the clay naturally has an opposite charge than the heavy metals, so it can pull the metals out of the body through the skin.  The clay has not been treated in any manner, it is a totally natural product.

To take a bath, it is recommended that one get a stopper set, which consists of a fine strainer that fits in the drain to prevent clumps of clay from blocking up the plumbing, and a flat stopper to fit over the strainer.  Both of these are available at almost any hardware or variety store.

As the clay will remove minerals/electrolytes along with heavy metals, it is mandatory that these be replenished before and after taking the bath.

* Mercury starts vaporizing at 40°, so you can imagine how much of it vaporizes off when the filling (which is 50% mercury) is touched by the drill, as the friction creates high heat. Even though we take numerous safety precautions, and keep the temperature down with cold water, I still breathe some mercury vapor and some of it gets absorbed through my skin.

I recently had a filling fall out and called the office to see when I could get it handled.  It was not an emergency, I was not in pain and would have waited for Dr. Behm, my dentist, to see me whenever he could.  The fact is, I got an appointment the following morning at 8:00 am. This was excellent service as far as I was concerned for a busy dentist who is always in demand.

When I arrived the next morning, Dr. Behm was there ready for me.  He simply took me in and handled the refill and everything connected with doing this the way he does – muscle testing for the proper filling material (composite), making sure everything was compatible with my body, etc.  He did everything immediately and finished in time for me to get to work without a problem, even though he could have probably used the time for other pressing things.

I would always come to Dr. Behm first, as I have found him to the best technician I have ever been to, as well as the fact that he stays in communication with you so well when you’re in the chair and lets you know exactly what he is doing.

However, above and beyond this, and the point of this Success is the quality of service one gets from Dr. Behm and his whole staff is far beyond what I’ve experienced elsewhere.  I personally don’t know anyone who works the hours that Dr. Behm does, and services people at times that would be considered to be “after hours” for any other business.  In a dentist office this usually includes more than just the dentist, which means others put in the same dedication in assisting, lab work and reception duties.  This would only happen if this intention was generated at the top, and it is here, which results in a quality of service found in few other places, regardless of what type of business you are looking at.

If you want the best, most natural, non-traumatic and holistic dentistry then you are now connected to the right guy and the right office.  That’s pretty bright of you, actually, finding him; well done!!

The cavitation surgery I had done years ago has held, as well as all the other work done over the years.  I do not use any other dentist, even if I’m working on the west coast – I come back to Dr. Behm’s office.

The quality of work, final product and service you get from Dr. Behm and his staff is the best you are going to find anywhere, I would not consider getting anything but biological dentistry.  The care and expertise you get from Dr. Behm is, again, the best you are going to find.   Biological dentistry costs a few bucks more from anyone, but if you read a couple of good books about it you won’t ever get any other kind of dentistry.
