  At low temperatures, graphite presents a magnetoresistance anomaly which
manifests as a transition to a high-resistance state (HRS) above a certain
critical magnetic field $\text{B}_\text{c}$. Such HRS is currently attributed
to a c-axis charge-density-wave taking place only when the lowest Landau level
is populated. By controlling the charge carrier concentration of a gated sample
through its charge neutrality level (CNL), we were able to experimentally
modulate the HRS in graphite for the first time. We demonstrate that the HRS is
triggered both when electrons and holes are the majority carriers but is
attenuated near the CNL. Taking screening into account, our results indicate
that the HRS possess a strong in-plane component and can occur below the
quantum limit, being at odds with the current understanding of the phenomenon.
We also report the effect of sample thickness on the HRS.
