Every day there is more than 40,000 root canal procedures performed, despite the fact that scientists have been warning of its dangers for more than 100 years.
Root-canaled teeth are the teeth that essentially considered "dead" teeth that can become silent incubators for highly toxic bacteria that can, under certain conditions, make their way into your bloodstream to cause a number of serious medical conditions, even though this many not appear for decades.
Most of these toxic teeth feel and look fine for many years, which make their role in general disease much harder to trace back. Vast majority of dentists are unconscious to the serious potential health risks they are exposing their patients to. The American Dental Association claims root canals have been proven safe, but they have NO published data or actual research to validate this claim.
One famous story is that Dr. Price - a dentist and researcher who traveled the world to study the teeth, bones, and diets of native populations living without the "benefit" of modern food - Around the year 1900, had been treating stubborn root canal infections and became suspicious that root-canaled teeth always remained infected, in spite of treatments. Then one day, he recommended to a woman, wheelchair bound for six years, to have her root canal tooth extracted, even though it appeared to be fine. The woman agreed, so he extracted her tooth and then implanted it under the skin of a rabbit. The rabbit amazingly developed the same crippling arthritis as the woman and died from the infection 10 days later. But the woman, amazingly, immediately recovered from her arthritis and could now walk without even the assistance of a cane.
Price discovered that it's mechanically impossible to sterilize a tooth that has been through root-canal procedure. He then went on to discover that many other chronic and degenerative diseases originate from this procedure—the most frequent being heart and circulatory diseases. There were also strong correlations to joint ailments and brain and nervous system disorders.
Dr. Price wrote two books in 1922 about his research into the link between dental pathology and chronic illness. Later Dr. Meinig from Chicago became one of the founding members of the American Association of Endodontists (root canal specialists). He spent a lot of time in early 90’s in researching the work of Dr. Price and published a book called: Root Canal Cover-Up.
Your teeth are made of the hardest substances in your body. In the middle of each tooth there is a soft living inner structure that houses blood vessels and nerves. Around this area is the dentin, which is made of living cells that secrete a hard mineral substance. The outermost and hardest layer of your tooth is the white enamel, which covers the dentin. The roots of each tooth go far down into your jawbone and are held in place by the periodontal ligament. In dental school, dentists are taught that each tooth has one to four major canals. However, there are accessory canals that are never mentioned. Actually miles of them!
Just as your body has large blood vessels that branch down into very small capillaries, each of your teeth has a maze of very tiny tubules that, if stretched out, would extend for three miles. Dr. Price identified as many as 75 separate accessory canals in a single front tooth. Microscopic organisms regularly move in and around these areas, like hamsters in underground tunnels.
When a dentist performs a root canal, he or she hollows out the tooth, and then fills the hollow chamber with a substance, which cuts off the tooth from its blood supply, so fluid can no longer circulate through the tooth. But the maze of tiny tubules remains. And bacteria, cut off from their food supply, hide out in these tunnels where they are safe from antibiotics and your own body's immune defenses.
Now, these bacteria which were considered friendly before, because of stress and oxygen deprivation turn into stronger, more infectious anaerobes that produce a variety of potent toxins. What were once ordinary, friendly oral bacteria mutate into highly toxic pathogens lurking in the tubules of the dead tooth, just waiting for an opportunity to spread.
No amount of sterilization is effective in reaching these tubules—and just about every single root-canaled tooth has been found colonized by these bacteria. Often, the infection extends down into the jawbone, causing tissue infection and gangrene. Most of this occurs with few, if any, associated symptoms. So you may have an abscessed dead tooth and not even know it. The damage doesn't stop there. If for any reason your immune system is compromised by something like an accident or illness or other trauma, the infection is no longer kept in check.
These bacteria can migrate out into surrounding tissues by hitching a ride into your blood stream, where they travel to new locations to set up camp. The new location can be any organ or gland or tissue.
Dr. Price found out that root canal fragments from a person who had suffered a heart attack, implanted into a rabbit, causes a heart attack in the rabbit within a few weeks. He discovered he could transfer heart disease to the rabbit 100 percent of the time! Nearly every chronic degenerative disease was linked with root canals, including:
Heart disease
Kidney disease
Arthritis, joint, and rheumatic diseases
Neurological diseases (including ALS and MS)
Autoimmune diseases (Lupus and more)
There are also cancer connections. Later Dr. Jones, a researcher of the relationship between root canals and breast cancer, found an extremely high correlation between root canals and breast cancer.
Later a German physician reported similar findings. Dr. Josef Issels reported that, in his 40 years of treating "terminal" cancer patients, 97 percent of his cancer patients had root canals.
There is no other medical procedure that involves allowing a dead body part to remain in your body. When your appendix dies, it's removed. If you get frostbite or gangrene on a finger or toe, it is amputated. If a baby dies in utero, the body typically initiates a miscarriage. Your immune system doesn't care for dead substances, and just the presence of dead tissue can cause your system to launch an attack, which is another reason to avoid root canals—they leave behind a dead tooth.
Infection, plus the autoimmune rejection reaction, causes more bacteria to collect around the dead tissue. In the case of a root canal, bacteria are given the opportunity to flush into your blood stream every time you bite down. Next time someone suggests a root canal, do a bit of research before you agree or disagree.
Live in Light!
