Hm.. well most of the mass from particles like protons and neutrons doesn't actually come from the component quarks' Higgs field interaction (like 1%), it actually comes from the energy binding the quarks together (or something like that, the energy involved in keeping the quarks together to create a proton or neutron anyway).

So blocking Higgs interaction wouldn't remove all (or even very much) of the mass. I think.
