The cloaking of the great root canal
ROOT CHANNEL? WHAT IS THAT?
If you’ve never had one, don’t despair, you haven’t missed a thing. However, you may have heard that they are painful. They are not. The procedure is usually performed by a Endodontist a dentist with specialized education and training in matters related to the inside of a tooth; pulp, nerves and blood vessels. It is used to repair and save a badly infected or decayed tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted. During the procedure, the nerve and pulp of the tooth are removed and replaced with materials formulated for this purpose. The tooth is then sealed and the patient will need to have a crown placed at a later time. Subsequently, the daily functioning of the tooth is not affected.
SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
Alternative physicians treating degenerative diseases universally believe that root canals are an important factor in the development of cancer. Many, if not most, claim that they have never treated a cancer patient without a history of one or more root canals. Therefore, it is not surprising that many alternative practitioners advocate the removal of all root canal-treated teeth.
The health problems caused by root canals are not limited to cancer. Meticulous research, actively suppressed for 83 years, has established indisputably that almost all degenerative diseases can be traced to a root canal. Heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, dementia, eye disease, to name just a few, can possibly be traced to a root canal. This is certainly not the only cause, but it is an important one. The relationship of the root canal to degenerative diseases has been suppressed for so long that few dentists know about it.
WHO SAYS IT?
Over a period of twenty-five years, beginning in 1900, Dr. Weston A Price conducted an extensive and meticulous research program. His work culminated in two monumental volumes entitled> Dental, oral and systemic infections, and Dental infections and systemic diseases. Dr. Price suspected that bacterial infection accompanies many degenerative diseases, and that dental infections were often the villain. He set out to prove it, conducting thousands of experiments on 5,000 animals. His methodology was impeccable and his findings were impossible to disown. No amount of peer review could negate the conclusions he advanced. So what do you do when something comes up that rocks your comfortable boat? You bury it. So a minority of autocratic dentists and physicians, comfortable with the way things were and feeling threatened by the specter of change, refused to accept his theories of focal infection. Strong in their positions within the profession, they successfully suppressed the publication of Dr. Price’s work and was left in the dark for more than 70 years.
DISCOVERY!
And it would have remained buried to this day if George E Meinig DDS, FACD hadn’t discovered it. Dr. Meinig, a practicing endodontist with many years of experience in root canal therapy and an avid advocate of it, investigated Dr. Price’s work and theories. And it took a 180 degree turn! He stopped doing root canals. He stopped defending them. “Dr. Weston Price’s 25-year root canal research ranks as one of the greatest discoveries in the history of medicine,” are Dr. Meinig’s words when discussing this topic. He published a book; Root Canal Coverup, and tried to have his own professional organization, the American Association of Endodontists, to take a serious look at Dr. Price’s theories. To date, they do not face these problems.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
It means that the state of our health can depend infinitely more on the condition of our teeth than we think. Dr. Price’s observations, confirmed by Dr. Meinig, show that:
Bacterial infections accompany many degenerative diseases, and these infections often arise from the teeth.
A tooth with a root filling can carry a disease that can metastasize and transfer to other parts of the body.
A person with more than one root filled tooth can become infected with more than one disease, as each tooth is capable of carrying a separate set of disease-producing bacteria. People can suffer from various ailments arising from their teeth, all at the same time.
Dentists in general are not convinced. They mistakenly believe that the disinfectant treatment used during root canal therapy causes the death of these bacteria. Dr. Meinig, after careful study, flatly refutes this theory. The bacteria that contribute to most of today’s diseases can no longer be killed by antibiotics due to overuse of these drugs. Bacteria that remain and often thrive in the root canals are involved in most cases. The mechanics of how this all works is detailed in Dr. Meinig’s book, Root canal cloak.
THE RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE
Anyone with a decayed or abscessed tooth would do well to choose to have the tooth removed and replaced with a modern titanium implant. While this procedure is considerably more expensive, a person’s entire health is considerably more valuable than a few dollars. Why the heck would anyone knowingly compromise their entire immune system to save a dollar? Unless you care that your local endodontist hates you.
