Subject: Re: CS>Root Canals
At the Dr. Huggins website, he says root canals are
very bad. So, what is one to do?
Hi Pat,
I went to the clinic believing (or hoping, might be the better word)
that I would be spared any surgery on my gums. I had a mouth full of
fillings, but no extraction sites, root canals, crowns, or anything
else complicated.
As it turns out, they've learned in the last 3 years or so that even un-
nucleated wisdom tooth sites can harbor a void in the bone filled by
material that can trigger an autoimmune response.
The pivotal case that brought this to their attention was a woman with
a *perfectly* healthy mouth who nonetheless suffered from ... MS, I
think. (I'm going from memory here, so may not get the details of the
story right.) The only thing she had was wisdom teeth that hadn't
formed. At the urging of the desparate husband, they explored those
sites and found what they usually see at cavitation sites. Removal of
the material produced significant improvement in her condition. Since
then they have explored many such sites and found cavitations in all
but a few.
This was enough to convince me to let them go ahead with the oral
surgery I had hoped to avoid, despite the fact that I had not read
about it in their publications beforehand and I wasn't as prepared for
it as the rest of what I knew had to be done.
Now, to the point of my recollections, I was still the simplest case
there. Some folks were having several teeth removed, bridges made,
crowns replaced... Boy, there was a lot of dentistry going on!
The story with root canals is that they know of no way to make them
safe. They *always* harbor anaerobic bacteria that produce dangerous
toxins, despite the claims of conventional dental "authorities" to the
contrary. So a root canal means the tooth has to go.
Which is not a happy thing.
My wife has a root canal, two crowns, and 4 wisdom tooth extraction
sites that have to be cleaned out. She's not happy with the notion that
there's no alternative but an extraction and bridge. In fact, the other
crown is on a post that may have to be removed as well, so she may need
two bridges. <sigh>
All that is daunting, and it's going to be a while before she is going
to be willing to do that, if ever.
There's a lot of experience to back up the asserted dangers of root
canals. The controversy surrounding the procedure, like the safety of
mercury fillings, goes back over a hundred years. They are no more
willing to admit to it than in the case of amalgams. So your dentist
will not hear about it from any "reputable" source, no matter how well
intentioned he may be.
I'm fortunate and grateful that I still have all my own teeth. My
wisdom tooth sites are healed over, and the sensitivity to temperature
and chewing is starting to subside in all of my molars.
I now have to wait and see if my health problems are going to improve
significantly. Since I didn't walk in the door with a single, serious
diagnosis, the long term results will likely be less obvious or
measurable than for others.
I'll be detoxing for a while as the easily mobilized mercury comes out
of me and my body adapts to the absence of my recommended daily
allowance of new mercury. At the same time we're slowly adjusting my
blood chemistries by diet and supplementation. So, I may not start to
feel better for a while.
You're going to have to decide what to believe. Research the subject
from all sides. When you're ready to make your decision you'll know.
Be well,
Mike D.
