I still have a few silver fillings left from years ago. I am hoping to have those fillings removed soon by a holistic dentist.

I am starting to wonder if my recent health issues are a result. They say the tooth should be completely removed and not left in the mouth. 


While I believe wholeheartedly in holistic medicine, sometimes one has to be careful about holistic "fanatics."  I was curious about your comment and in the very brief reading I have just done, it sounds like there is little basis for such a statement.  One of the articles I read claims that a tooth that has been treated with a root canal procedure is "diseased" and leaves toxic "infection" chronically around the tooth.  If that were the case, I would think the person would be in chronic pain from a chronic infection, which would also lead to further dental problems in the surrounding oral area.  As far as my understanding goes, a tooth that has been treated with a root canal procedure has had the viable (living) matter in the root removed completely and filled with an inert (inactive) material.  So where is the "infection"?   And...as lulu has already said, root canals are extremely common by the time one reaches a certain age.  

 

If you have a comprehensive study to quote, with controls in the study, I'd be interested in reading that.

Re: I Have to Have My Fillings Replaced :-(

This is just one of the articles I found. There are many more on this subject.

 

 

The Relationship Between Root Canals and Cancer

When a person in the United States has a toothache, due to an infection in the tooth, rather than cure the infection with 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide, dentists almost always kill the tooth. They will typically drill out the insides of the tooth and fill the tooth with metal rods.

This is called a "root canal." Root canals are a safe haven for microbes. Because no blood reaches the inside of the tooth, the immune system cannot kill any microbes inside the dead tooth.

Microbes do not originate in the root canals, rather they originate elsewhere in the body (such as were cancer cells form). The microbes thrive and some of them hide from the immune system inside the root canals.

These microbes, and other toxins from inside the tooth, periodically come out of the tooth and cause reinfections. It is impossible to cure more than 200 diseases unless all of the root canal teeth are removed properly because even if you killed the microbes of the disease, microbes hiding in the root canals can come out and reinfect the person!!

All of these things have been known about for decades by the American Dental Association.

Root canals are a major cause of the immune system being suppressed and they are a major cause of cancer:

"Dr. Thomas Rau, who runs the Paracelsus Clinic (cancer clinic since 1958) in Switzerland recently checked the records of the last 150 breast cancer patients treated in his clinic. He found that 147 of them (98%) had one or more root canal teeth on the same meridian as the original breast cancer tumor. His clinic has a biological dentist section where all cancer patients, on reporting in, have their mouth cleaned up first -- especially all root canal teeth removed.
There are about 24 million root canals done in the U.S. alone every year. They were proven deadly disease agents in 1925 in a study by Dr. Weston Price and 60 prominent researchers. That study has been suppressed ever since by the ADA and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE). Read the book "Root Canal Cover-Up" by George Meinig, DDS, FACD for the full story. Dr. Meinig was an endodontist for 50 years. He helped found the AAE in 1943. His book is a mea culpa (apology) to the thousands of patients whose health he ruined doing root canal fillings. He discovered the Weston Price research only after he retired in 1993. His book was published first in 1994 and he has lectured widely since then trying to alert people to this danger to their health.

The Weston Price conclusions (i. e. that there is no safe way to do a root canal filling) track with my experience with counselling cancer patients for the last 8 years.
http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Cancer-Continues-to-Worsen-8023.aspx

What is interesting about this quote is that 100% of the breast cancer patients had root canals, or other infections, on the same acupuncture meridian. Since the microbes do not originate in the root canal, what this implies is that breast cancer cannot form without the assistance of the metals and microbes coming from the root canals.

It is a major research effort of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation, Inc. to identify other types of cancer which may be caused by root canals.

But root canals may also explain why so many cancer patients are able to cure their cancer with alternative cancer treatments, but the cancer comes back again and again. The next section will discuss this problem.

The Relationship Between Root Canals and Cancer Regression

When the symptoms of cancer are gone, the patient is said to be in "remission." With Stage IV cancer treatments, it is required that the patient be on a potent alternative cancer treatment for at least a year. This means that the patient will almost always be on a potent cancer treatment after they go into remission.

When a cancer patient gets cancer AFTER they have gone into remission, it is called "regression."

There are three main reasons a cancer patient can go into regression.

First, they quit their alternative cancer treatment before their cancer was completely cured. For example, they may have felt good and their tumors may be gone, so they quit their treatment. This is the main reason a Stage IV treatment is required to last at least one year.

Second, they go back to their old way of life and get cancer again. This is a common problem. Staying on a Stage IV treatment for a year won't help these people. When a person is completely done with their year long treatment, they need to stick to at least 80% of their diet. And the other 20% should not be chocolate ice cream and chocolate cake except in rare situations.

But this article is about the third reason people go into regression - root canals.

Why Root Canals Can Cause Regression

First of all, it is important to understand that cancer, some cases of type 1 diabetes, and a host of other diseases, are caused by a microbe. Viruses, yeast, fungus, mold, and bacteria cause a host of diseases. To cure these diseases the microbes must be killed throughout the body so the immune system can restore the body to its normal state.

When a person gets a root canal they create the perfect breading ground for microbes. There is nothing in the immune system that gets inside a root canal. However, viruses, yeast, mold, fungus, bacteria, etc. can easily get inside the root canal and set up a safe and comfortable home.

After they breed inside the root canal they can then spread out into the body of the host any time they want. Microbes, when they live in a colony, are actually quite smart, as research has shown.

If you kill the microbes everywhere in the body, except the root canal teeth, it is inevitable that the microbes will spread out from their safe haven in the root canal teeth and the disease will return.

Dr. Weston A. Price did experiments many decades ago which at first were hailed by the American Dental Association, but which were later suppressed.

Dr. Price removed a tooth, which had had a root canal, from a person who was suffering from a disease, and then surgically inserted the tooth in a rabbit. The rabbit then developed this same disease and in many cases, the human patient was quickly cured.

This technique worked with heart disease, cancer, arthritis and many other diseases.

Dr. Price's research was followed-up by a Dr. George E. Meinig, who also wrote a book on the subject.

While it might be thought that this is an issue for after the cancer treatment, rest assured it is not. It is an issue during treatment if the microbes are constantly being released from the root canal tooth or teeth.

NO CANCER CURE will kill the microbes inside a tooth that has had a root canal.

What Can You Do?

The ideal solution is the have the root canals AND all dental amalgam removed from the body, followed instantly by heavy chelation therapy (e.g. chlorella, zeolites, etc.). But don't go to your local dentist to have this done or things might get worse. For example, the infection may have spread to the jawbone, adding a great deal of complication to the situation.

In other words, if the root canal is not done by the right kind of dentist, the net result may be that nothing is accomplished or things have been made worse.

There is a specialized type of dentist called a "biological dentist" or a "holistic dentist." These dentists are sometimes persecuted by the corrupt American Dental Association, so do not expect to find one in the local telephone book. They can be hard to find locally. Internet search engines may be the best way to find a local holistic or biological dentist.

So what about those cancer patients who cannot find a biological dentist or cannot afford one? All you can do is deal with the cancer and hope to be able to keep the cancer from returning.

One problem with a simple solution is due to dental amalgam. If you use electromedicine to kill the microbes inside the root canals, you may release mercury from the dental amalgam, which may make matters worse because mercury damages the brain and the immune system.

Baking Soda (a.k.a. Sodium Bicarbonate, NaHCO3, Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, and Bicarbonate of Soda), and/or 3% FOOD GRADE hydrogen peroxide mouthwash might be able to kill the microbes, by passing through the teeth, but most root canals have "caps" on them, thus even these ideas may not work.

Just do the best you can do under the circumstances.

ANY feedback to the Independent Cancer Research Foundation, Inc., of what works or what doesn't work, would be greatly appreciated. This is a major research topic of the Foundation.

Re: I Have to Have My Fillings Replaced :-(

since most people do get at least one root canal in their life, it makes sense just by the odds that some of them will have breast cancer

 

I do not believe for one minute that a root canal has anything to do with breast cancer

Agreed. I don't trust anything Mercola has to say. He's a a quack, who spreads misinformation in the name of fear mongering.

Re: I Have to Have My Fillings Replaced :-(

i'm a dentists' dream. i had 5 cavities as a 5 yr old and i have had countless fillings, root canals, surgical canals, caps, crowns, bridges, space maintainers, bonding.  i know i'm financing my dentist's fancy ski trips tp Aspen. it could be worse, my mother had dentures at 23. i inherited the soft teeth.

 

i had leaky fillings but no longer have any silver fillings, my fillings look like teeth. thats ok but  i paid extra for the composite. those Ins. Co jerks will get theirs someday. white composites should not cost extra, mercury amalagm can become toxic over time. white composite is not as durable  as the amalgam over time. night guards can assist with releiving the pressure.

 

Dentist do try to pad their services especially if you have dental insurance. my dentists "finds" things that "need" to be "fixed"

Re: I Have to Have My Fillings Replaced :-(

Get them replaced.  My dentist replaced mine in the 1980's.  Silver fillings have elemental mercury in them.  The process was a bit nerve racking but not painful at all.

I have never had a root canal and I am the 1st person in my family to suffer from breast cancer. Horse feathers!

Re: I Have to Have My Fillings Replaced :-(

@Plaid Pants2  Sorry, I haven't read this entire thread (you have to admit this isn't the most fascinating subject!) so pardon if I repeat what someone has already posted.

 

A filling - as well as a crown, esp. a porcetain crown - has a shelf life.  They do wear out. I've had several fillings replaced over the years and one or two crowns.  (Gold crowns last much longer than porcelain).  Anyway..... I find it hard to believe that you have to have all your fillings replace.  Can one or two or maybe even three  be leaking?  I suppose so but to me  it's unlikely that more than one or two are. You didn't get your fillings all at once, so why would they all go bad?   I think if I were you I'd get a second opinion, or at least have your dentist replace the one or two  or however many that are severely leaking and then see someone else.   It's going to be expensive I assume to replace tham all and I just don't understand why they would ALL need to be replaced rather than just a couple.  Again, I find it hard to believe that they are all leaking.  (FYI my father was a dentist and I worked for him summers when I was home from college).
