Root Canals and Your Overall Health

Did you catch this posting on Mercola.com  “97% of terminal cancer patients previously had this dental procedure”?

The answer is root canals. 

Biological dentists have been concerned about root canals and patient’s health ever since the Father of Biological Dentistry, Dr. Weston Price, performed his now famous root canal experiment.

Dr. Weston Price implanted root canalled teeth from patients with known pathologies (like cancer) in rabbits and observed the same pathology growing in the implanted rabbit. That means a rabbit implanted with the root canal teeth of a patient with heart disease would then develop heart disease. A coincidence? If it happened once – maybe, but he demonstrated many times the same results with the same tooth and many different rabbits.

 

Root Canals May Harbor Bacteria

We acknowledge the intense controversy within the biological dental community concerning the safety of root canal therapy. Even the conventional dental community is beginning to acknowledge that there may be long term health issues attributable to retaining dead teeth in a person’s mouth. Of course their interest is to replace the root canal with an implant, not necessarily a new found understanding that root canalled teeth are incubating sources for many pathogens and a continuous flow of toxins as well as the tremendous stress to the neuroimmune system.

Both the toxin release and the neuroimmune stress on your body from dead root canal teeth may be the root causes for many chronic health problems- and affect your overall health status.
