The Root Canal Coverup
If you have any root canal-filled teeth, removing them from your mouth should be your number one priority.
You will not get well until you do this.
Once it is done properly, you may need very little other treatment to get well.
If you heard there was a source of disease which caused literally hundreds of different illnesses, wouldn't you think that would be one of the world's greatest medical discoveries? What would your reaction be if you learned that this phenomenal work had been covered up and buried for over 70 years? Be prepared for a series of shocks. Just such a wide assortment of diseases were found and proven to come from focal infections present in infected teeth, jaws and tonsils.
The Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland has treated cancer patients since 1958. A part of this clinic is a Biological Dentist Section. Every cancer patient who comes to the clinic has his/her mouth cleaned of root canal-filled teeth before any other cancer treatment is done. In 2004, the clinic’s Director, Dr. Thomas Rau, feeling that most breast cancer patients they were treating had root canal-filled teeth, decided to do a study. He reviewed the records of the last 150 of their breast cancer patients. He found that 147 of them (98%) had one or more root canal teeth on the same meridian as their original breast cancer tumor. He believes there is no doubt that this was the primary cause of their cancers.
Dr. Hal Huggins and Dr. Thomas Levy, M.D., worked together on a study of root canal-filled teeth for six years – from 1994 to 2000. They had removed 5,000 root canal-filled teeth. Each tooth they removed was tested and every one of them was found to have compoundss coming out of it that were “more toxic than botulism” (Dr. Levy’s words).
Dr. Meinig began doing root canal fillings on his patients’ teeth in 1943. In 1948, he was one of the 19 founders of the American Association of Endodontists (root canal therapists). When he retired in 1993, he was honored, along with the other three surviving founders at the 50th anniversary celebration of the AAE. In 1993, shortly after his retirement, Dr. Meinig learned of the 1,174 pages of research done on root canal teeth by Dr. Weston Price, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. and 60 fellow research dentists. Their findings had been suppressed by the American Dental Association since 1925. This research, done over 20 years, showed, beyond any doubt, that there was no safe way to do a root canal filling. Not only that, but the research established root canal teeth as the cause of many serious degenerative conditions, including cancers.
Nearly one hundred years ago, there had been a 25 year research program which covered all phases of root canal treatment. This was no small program; 5,000 animals were used and it was directed by Dental Research Specialist, Weston A. Price, D.D.S., M.S. The last ten years was conducted under the auspices of the American Dental Association and its Research Institute. That Research Institute was governed by 60 of the nation's leading medical and dental scientists. All of those thousands of studies and experiments were documented in two large volumes containing 1,174 pages and in more than 25 articles which can be found in the dental and medical literature.
A vast array of discoveries were forthcoming from that extensive and meticulous research which found many root canal therapy common beliefs of dentists and endodontists to be false. The most startling one clearly and emphatically demonstrated with 5,000 animal studies, that root canal filled teeth always remain infected no matter how good they look or how good they feel.
How in the world could it be that these vital and important revelations have been kept from the entire dental profession for over 70 years? Infections can be present in the lateral canals of teeth even if they appeared normal on x-ray pictures. The crown of a tooth is covered by a little less than 1/4 inch of enamel. The root with 1/8 of an inch of cementum. All of the rest of the tooth (over 90 percent of it) is composed of what is called dentin.
Though the dentin is almost as hard as enamel, it is composed of tiny tubules measuring 1.5 microns, which is smaller in size than the thickness of a sheet of paper. In the normal, healthy tooth, these tubules are filled with a liquid which contains nutrients.
Running through the center of the tooth is the root canal. Everyone knows it contains a nerve. Many are not aware that it also contains an artery, vein, and other tissue. As the blood flows through the artery every day and night, it drops nutrients into the fluid in each of those dentin tubules -- the same way blood vessels drop nutrients into each cell of the body. The nutrients present in those tubules travel to all parts of the tooth. That is the real hidden secret about what keeps teeth alive and healthy.
When we get a small cavity in a tooth which is just breaking through the enamel into the dentin, the bacteria that are part of the decay process, get into the tubules in the vicinity of the decay area. Dentists in drilling out the decay quite readily stop the process. Once the decay gets so deep that it penetrates into the root canal itself, the bacteria present in the decayed tooth substance enter the canal and quickly travel down to the end and then out of the apex of the root into the surrounding bone. Along the way, they invade the dentin tubules and their nutrient food content.
They find those tubules are excellent new home sites. Herein lies the problem. Dentists, in doing root canal treatment, feel they adequately kill the bacteria that are present, but are unaware that the medications they use cannot penetrate into those tiny tubules far enough to kill them. Most dentists are entirely unaware of the bacteria in the tubules, and the fact that hundreds of experiments showed not a single one of over 100 commonly used disinfectants could penetrate those tubules.
When we confront dentists with these facts they often will say, "So what? When we place the root canal filling, the organisms will die off." Here again their opinion is incorrect as they are unaware that these bacteria are polymorphic, which means they can mutate and change form and are able to actually live under the most severe, adverse conditions.
Undaunted, your dentist will now say, "What difference does it make? The germs can't escape because the root canal filling blocks them out" That too is untrue, as the bacteria can readily escape from the lateral, accessory root canals present in all teeth. Not only that, the toxins formed by bacteria can escape right through the cementum of the tooth. In another series of intelligent experiments, Dr. Price showed that the hard cementum outer covering of the roots was actually a semi-permeable membrane. That means liquid substances like bacteria toxins could travel right through the cementum and escape into the periodontal membrane which holds the tooth in its bony socket. It is that membrane which attaches the tooth to the jaw bone and keeps teeth from falling out.
The periodontal membrane is a hard fibrous tissue but it has a blood supply and the bacteria and their toxins now infect it. From there, the organisms and their toxins have easy access into the surrounding jaw bone and its blood supply. These bacteria from teeth and their toxins spread via the blood stream.
Now that you know the source of the problem, let me tell you about how a rabbit revealed the actual devastation that occurs.
Dr. Price had treated a root canal infection for a patient who subsequently developed a severe case of arthritis in her hands and legs. He was well aware that physicians in trying to discover the cause of a disease would isolate the bacteria, grow them in culture, and then inject the organism into animals to see if they could reproduce the disease and subsequently find a cure.
At that particular moment, Dr. Price did not know just where the infection was in the tooth, but in thinking how doctors were discovering the causes of diseases, he thought of a similar way that might lead to an answer. After a little trouble he convinced the patient to let him remove the tooth. He washed and bathed it in a disinfectant. He then made a small buttonhole incision in the skin of the back of a rabbit, inserted the extracted root canal tooth, placed a couple of stitches so it wouldn't fall out, and returned the animal to its spacious cage and waited developments.
It didn't take long. In just two days the rabbit's limbs had developed the same arthritic swelling as that of the patient and in ten days it died from the infection coming from that tooth.
Now, Dr. Price immediately thought of all those patients he had who were suffering from heart, kidney, liver, joint disease, eye problems, etc., etc., and he wondered if their root canals were the source of their degenerative health problems. Those who had root canals he suggested their removal and he implanted them under the skin of an animal.
What happened was surprising and unexpected. In the vast majority of cases the animal developed the same disease as the patient and most passed away in from two or three days to a week or two from the infections present in the root canal treated teeth. Different kinds of animals were used: Rats, Guinea pigs, dogs and monkeys, but it didn't matter, the same results occurred. They usually used rabbits as they seemed to react a bit more promptly and proved the better choice for such studies.
Early on in his studies Dr. Price made some reports of his research in articles which appeared in medical and dental journals. A number of dentists came to him voicing the opinion that any animal would likely get sick and die with an extracted tooth in its body. Dr. Price admitted he didn't know the answer to that question but he said let's find out. What he did was to have a group of dentists secure 100 healthy teeth. These were removed for orthodontic purposes, or impacted teeth, none of them had any tooth decay or gum trouble. He placed each single tooth under the skin of a different animal.
Well, not a single one of those 100 animals got sick or died. All lived their normal life span with the tooth under its skin. In a few, their immune systems were strong enough to expel the tooth out through the skin and in a few the tooth dissolved away. They even did bacteriologic studies of the tissue around the imbedded teeth and always found them to be sterile.
It is always a surprise to learn that Dr. Price's work was buried for over 70 years. The American Association of Endodontists claim the focal infection theory was proven false years ago, but so many investigators have proven the accuracy of the theory, that it is unbelievable they stick to that old claim that helped bury Dr. Price's work.
If you have a root canal or been told you need one, your best approach is to learn all you can about this subject. Obtain a copy of Root Canal Cover-Up. It is written in simple language and covers the major issues covered in Dr. Price's two volumes of 1,174 pages of documentation. Even if you don't have a root canal treated tooth it is worthwhile to learn about what is taking place in so many people and how these degenerative diseases can be prevented.
An extracted tooth and teeth with crowns, caps and fillings can cause similar problems as root canal-filled teeth.
A word of caution: as with the problems of mercury poisoning from mercury amalgam fillings in teeth (another sad story to be told), it's not easy to find a" biological dentist" trained in its safe removal. Removing mercury amalgams in the wrong manner can result in more harm than the mercury fillings to be replaced. A specially trained and knowledgeable dentist (biological dentist) can use non-invasive means to determine the source of root canal or tooth extraction infection, after which surgery may be required accompanied by proper sterilization techniques.
If you have any root canal-filled teeth, removing them from your mouth should be your number one priority.
You will not get well until you do this.
Once it is done properly, you may need very little other treatment to get well.
