Root Canals are a Major Health Risk

Dr. Mercola has an excellent article about Root Canals and the immune suppressing influences that they have on the body.

Fortunately Heather has never had a root canal, but I would have already had them removed if she had! In my case, I received 2 Root Canals 37 years ago because of an athletic injury to my mouth. My Biological Dentist extracted them from my mouth last week.

I am impressed by the apparent intelligence of some of our forum members. Day after day I read oh-so-detailed posts on this forum about the complexities of human physiology and the treatments designed to heal them. Perhaps my lack of appreciation for these incredibly detailed complexities stems from a relatively lower intellegence quotient.

On the other hand, I may be correct in surmising that some of our members may have been sucked into the powerful vortex of the search for infinitely detailed "scientific" data. I believe that the resultant impression is that we are digging deeper and getting closer to the discovery of truth that will constitute a major breakthrough. I fear that many will end up as disillusioned as was Ponce De Leon when he failed to discover the fabled "Fountain of Youth".

I am not espousing anti intellectualism here, but rather, I am urging the membership to be sure that the most fundamental issues are addressed first. Root Canals and Mercury Amalgams certainly fall within that category. Some of you may possess several fundamental factors that will prevent you from ever becoming well again, regardless of the "scientific" sophistication that permeates the air, unless the fundamentals are addressed first.

Let's hope that 2015 is a great healing year for everyone on this forum!

Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

Knowledge is power.

I'm glad I learned about the risks of root canals a long time ago, so none of us have any, in part because we haven't needed any, but I wouldn't have let anyone do any on my kids and I.

I wonder about implants since that's the thing now. The other choices aren't a lot better, but I'll probably have to have couple of teeth pulled and I don't think bridges would work.

When we toured the local university with our college bound girl about 4 years ago, we went down one hall that had several posters about implants and they talked about nerve damage among other things. They're just too new to know all the risks they may have down the road. And I wonder what happens to them when people are older and have jaw shrinkage and tissue changes.

I just worry about the procedure and also what happens to the hole if you decide to have them removed. Maybe in our kids time they'll learn to re-grow teeth successfully.

I've had a lot of flack over my diet and medicine choices most of my life, but more people are learning about it now. Lyme has taught a lot of people about alternative meds.

I've been reading a lot about how bad they are and need to get them removed from my mouth. They are linked to cancers and heart disease and am sure a lot of other diseases. Might be the reason I even got Lyme, seems like I got it shortly after my first root canal. Definitely need to call a biological dentist this next week.
