    This is a special request by Claire Khoo. Sorry it took a while but I have been travelling a bit and sick to the gills to boot! :shifty:

    Anyway, excuses aside, let's get right down to the BS topic of the day - The Killer Root Canal!

    The uber-notorious quack Joseph Mercola wrote this piece of FUD (what else does he write hmm?) and Claire wanted to know if this is, in any way, true. Check it out :

    What a long piece of utter bullshit. :doh:

    Okay, let's get down to the debunking...

    Part 1

    Root-canaled teeth are essentially “dead” teeth that can become silent incubators for highly toxic anaerobic bacteria that can, under certain conditions, make their way into your bloodstream to cause a number of serious medical conditions—many not appearing until decades later. Most of these toxic teeth feel and look fine for many years, which make their role in systemic disease even harder to trace back.

    Yes, any tooth that has undergone a root canal is "dead". However, everything else he said is WRONG.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    When the tooth's nerves, blood supply and other organic materials are removed during the root canal procedure, the tooth is hollowed out and disinfected. It is then filled with calcium hydroxide to ensure disinfection before the tooth is filled with a filler material and capped.

    That means, once the procedure is complete, there is no place for an infection to take root. If the disinfection was not done properly, then the patient will complain of pain from the pressure of accumulated pus. The tooth may be dead, but the gums are alive and well!


    Sadly, the vast majority of dentists are oblivious to the serious potential health risks they are exposing their patients to, risks that persist for the rest of their patients’ lives. The American Dental Association claims root canals have been proven safe, but they have NO published data or actual research to substantiate this claim.

    Oh, you lying son of a *****. Please give dentists some credit for the hours they spent studying at dental school. They are all well aware of the risks of infection during ANY oral procedure. That's why root canal patients are covered with ANTIBIOTICS!

    The American Dental Association does not just claim that root canals are safe. They KNOW that root canals are safe, because millions of root canals are performed every year.

    Were it not for a brilliant pioneering dentist who, more than a century ago, made the connection between root-canaled teeth and disease, this underlying cause of disease may have remained hidden to this day. The dentist’s name was Weston Price—regarded by many as the greatest dentist of all time.

    First of all, he HYPOTHESIZED the connection between root-canaled teeth and systemic disease of the body. This has been disproven since the 1930s!

    This means he caused the unnecessary removal of many tonsils and teeth. So no, he's not regarded by many as a great dentist, much less the greatest dentist of all time.

    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.

    She 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, now free of the toxic tooth, immediately recovered from her arthritis and could now walk without even the assistance of a cane.


    Arthritis isn't an infection. It is an inflammation of the joint that is usually due to degeneration (osteoarthritis) or an autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis). Both cannot be cured or transmitted to another person, much less a different species! :nuts:

    [​IMG]

    Price discovered that it’s mechanically impossible to sterilize a root-canaled (e.g. root-filled) tooth.

    False. Dentists do it every day.

    There were also strong correlations between root-filled teeth and diseases of the joints, brain and nervous system.

    No, just because you say so doesn't make it true. In addition, correlation does not imply causation. If it does, then this chart conclusively proves that the sale of organic foods cause autism :

    Dr. Price went on to write two groundbreaking books in 1922 detailing his research into the link between dental pathology and chronic illness.

    As far as I could tell, Dr. Price never published any book in 1922. The only two books that I found in the 1920s that he wrote were :

    - Dental Infections, Oral and Systemic (1923)
    - Dental Infections and related Degenerative Diseases (1925)

    Unfortunately, his work was deliberately buried for 70 years, until finally one endodontist named George Meinig recognized the importance of Price’s work and sought to expose the truth.

    Not true. His work was widely published and was the model of treatment in the 1920s. In fact, the dental community believed in his focal infection theory that they treated infected tooth with extraction, instead of root canals.

    It was only in the 1930s when his theory was re-examined and new research invalidated his studies, that his theory was cast aside. So, all that George Meinig was seeking to do is not expose the truth, but a disproved theory.

    Part 2

    When a dentist performs a root canal, he or she hollows out the tooth, then fills the hollow chamber with a substance (called guttapercha), 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 remarkably safe from antibiotics and your own body’s immune defenses.

    Bacteria cannot hide in dentinal tubules after a proper root canal because of the sterilization process, which includes a calcium hydroxide or antiseptic packing which is left in place for about a week, as well as antibiotic cover.

    Under the stresses of oxygen and nutrient deprivation, these formerly friendly organisms morph into stronger, more virulent 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 awaiting an opportunity to spread.

    Many bacteria can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. That's why they are known as facultative anaerobes. It doesn't mean they "morph", or become stronger, or more virulent.

    They are the same bacteria, just using a different mode of respiration. Even if they can perform anaerobic respiration, they cannot survive in the absence of a food supply.

    Therefore, this claim shows a complete lack of understanding of basic microbiology.

    No amount of sterilization has been found effective in reaching these tubules—and just about every single root-canaled tooth has been found colonized by these bacteria, especially around the apex and in the periodontal ligament.

    False. Dentists do it every day. Millions of people have had perfectly sterile root canals.

    Oftentimes, the infection extends down into the jawbone where it creates cavitations—areas of necrotic tissue in the jawbone itself.

    Cavitations are areas of unhealed bone, often accompanied by pockets of infected tissue and gangrene. Sometimes they form after a tooth extraction (such as a wisdom tooth extraction), but they can also follow a root canal. According to Weston Price Foundation, in the records of 5,000 surgical cavitation cleanings, only two were found healed.


    Not true because jawbone cavitations haven't been proven to exist. Please see Cavitational Osteopathosis, Bouquot, NICO, and "Biological Dentistry"

    As long as your immune system remains strong, any bacteria that stray away from the infected tooth are captured and destroyed. But once your immune system is weakened by something like an accident or illness or other trauma, your immune system may be unable to keep the infection in check.

    Even if you have a strong immune system, bacteria can still get past it. That's why some people get subacute bacterial endocarditis, where a common oral bacteria gets transported in our blood and vegetate on a defective heart valve.

    But this doesn't require a root canal to happen. It can happen any time you get an ulcer or an oral wound that exposes your bloodstream to your oral bacterial flora.

    Dr. Price was able to transfer diseases harbored by humans to rabbits, by implanting fragments of root-canaled teeth, as mentioned above. He found that root canal fragments from a person who had suffered a heart attack, when implanted into a rabbit, would cause a heart attack in the rabbit within a few weeks.

    Oh, this is PRICELESS! :clap: :clap:

    [​IMG]

    Dr. Price is the first person in the world to be able to transplant a heart infarct (destruction of heart muscle tissue) from a human to an animal of a different species. I guess he can now score a hat trick by transplanting his head onto the rabbit and cheat death while enjoying the rabbit's great libido.

    He discovered he could transfer heart disease to the rabbit 100 percent of the time! Other diseases were more than 80 percent transferable by this method. Nearly every chronic degenerative disease has been 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)


    How the **** does he transfer diseases that are only human in nature, or inherited genetically???

    [​IMG]

    There may also be a cancer connection. Dr. Robert Jones, a researcher of therelationship between root canals and breast cancer, found an extremely high correlation between root canals and breast cancer.iv He claims to have found the following correlations in a five-year study of 300 breast cancer cases:

    -93 percent of women with breast cancer had root canals
    -7 percent had other oral pathology
    -Tumors, in the majority of cases, occurred on the same side of the body as the root canal(s) or other oral pathology


    This is 100% proof that Dr. Robert Jones is an idiot. That is, if there's such a person. I cannot find out who he is, or even the paper he did on this, even though it was apparently accepted by the US FDA (whatever for, since the US FDA isn't a journal???).

    He shows a complete lack of understanding of how the human circulatory system works. Metastases do not occur on the same side as the body as the primary tumour, because blood goes everywhere!

    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. If these physicians are correct, the cure for cancer may be as simple as having a tooth pulled, then rebuilding your immune system.

    Even though Josef Issels is notorious for developing an alternative cancer treatment that failed to save Bob Marley, there is no record of him ever linking cancer to root canals. In fact, the only dental-related part of his therapy involves removing any METAL-FILLED teeth - Issels treatment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    How are these mutant oral bacteria connected with heart disease or arthritis? The ADA and the AAE claim it’s a “myth” that the bacteria found in and around root-canaled teeth can cause disease. But they base that on the misguided assumption that the bacteria in these diseased teeth are the SAME as normal bacteria in your mouth—and that’s clearly not the case.

    It is a myth because they are the same bacteria, you dolt! :hand:

    Today, bacteria can be identified using DNA analysis, whether they’re dead or alive, from their telltale DNA signatures.

    Welcome to the 21st century. But FYI, bacteria can also be identified without using DNA.

    Are these just benign, ordinary mouth bugs? Absolutely not. Four can affect your heart, three can affect your nerves, two can affect your kidneys, two can affect your brain, and one can infect your sinus cavities… so they are anything BUT friendly!

    Friendly or not, they are found in various parts of the GI system. So their presence has nothing to do with whether you had a root canal or not.

    Approximately 400 percent more bacteria were found in the blood surrounding the root canal tooth than were found in the tooth itself, suggesting the tooth is the incubator and the periodontal ligament is the food supply. The bone surrounding root-canaled teeth was found even HIGHER in bacterial count… not surprising, since bone is virtual buffet of bacterial nutrients.

    Blood does not pool around a tooth, you dolt! Blood gets recirculated non-stop. At this juncture, I suppose even water is considered to be a virtual buffet for these super-bacteria. :haha:

    Okay, okay, that was just being mean... but I can't help it. :mrgreen:

    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.

    Well, it's not a medical procedure but in an aesthetic procedures generally known collectively as grooming, we actually cut part of our nails and hair but leave the rest in our body.

    In any case, leaving a "dead" tooth in place is no different from using a tooth implant or dentures. In fact, it's more desirable than drilling titanium screws into your jawbone or the hassle of cleaning your dentures all the time.

    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.

    Not true at all. Your immune system does not care about your tooth because it is NOT a foreign substance, which an implant or denture is. All the more reason to hang onto your root canaled 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.

    Utter nonsense. Why not claim that every time you swallow your saliva, you give your oral bacteria the opportunity to infect the GI system? :roll:

    Part 3

    The ADA rejects Dr. Price’s evidence, claiming root canals are safe, yet they offer no published data or actual research to substantiate their claim.

    They have already proven Dr. Price's hypothesis wrong in the 1930s. Since then, billions of root canals have already successfully saved teeth that would have been extracted and replaced with implants.

    American Heart Association recommends a dose of antibiotics before many routine dental procedures to prevent infective endocarditis (IE) if you have certain heart conditions that predispose you to this type of infection.

    Yes, that's because a common cause of infective endocarditis is Streptococcus viridans, a common bacteria of the oral cavity. This is a known risk for all oral procedures, so a root canal is no exception.

    So, on the one hand, the ADA acknowledges oral bacteria can make their way from your mouth to your heart and cause a life-threatening infection. But at the same time, the industry vehemently denies any possibility that these same bacteria—toxic strains KNOWN to be pathogenic to humans—can hide out in your dead root-canaled tooth to be released into your blood stream every time you chew, where they can damage your health in a multitude of ways.

    Yes, because that doesn't happen. Bacteria do not "change strain", and they don't hide out in root canaled teeth, not for long anyway. Root canal failures do happen, but the effects of a reinfection are obvious, and the tooth can be retreated.

    --------------------

    So there you have it. Joseph Mercola is a quack who doesn't know what he's babbling about. He may sound authoritative, but just remember this bit of friendly advice - Don't take your medical advice from someone who peddles supplements (and expensive ones at that)!
