Dentists who are sleep experts can make a big difference in the quality and quantity of your sleep. They take a bigger role in identifying and treating sleep disorders, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or the condition that affects your airway and can cause frequent stops in breathing while sleeping.

Effects of Sleep Apnea

OSA affects approximately 25 million adults in the United States alone and can affect you in different ways such as:

• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Headache
• Loud and habitual snoring
• Moodiness
• Fragmented sleep
• Memory Impairment
• High blood pressure
• Higher risks of acquiring chronic diseases

Role of Dental Interventions in Your Sleep

There are more than 190,000 practicing dentists in the United States. Dentists specializing in sleep disorders can help you with your sleep problems by:

• Identifying the problem
• Suggesting a sleep study to diagnose the issue further
• Evaluate the results of the sleep study
• Suggest treatment options to cure the problem
• Perform surgery to treat the disorder

Dental interventions help you get your life and health back. They decrease your chances of acquiring chronic diseases and suffering from the symptoms of sleep disorders. Read the articles here to learn more about dental interventions.

And reversing it cures some people once and for all!

Warning… The American Dental Association doesn’t want you to know this.  But your very life may depend upon you paying heed.

• A German physician states that in 40 years of treating cancer, 97% of his terminal cancer patients had this dental procedure
• NO cancer cure can kill the highly toxic microbes associated with this dental procedure
• The procedure is nearly universal — up to 60 million are performed every year.1
• Scientists have warned of its dangers for over 100 years… yet today most people remain unaware of its dangers.
• Chances are high that even your dentist knows nothing about its dangers.

If you have cancer or any other type of health issue, this is for you.

If you do not yet have health issues, this is for you too… consequences often hide for decades before emerging with a vengeance.  Shouldn’t you stop the collateral damage before it stops you?

“You need a root canal” is now nearly as common as hearing you need a filling.  Certainly dentists are aware that people don’t want to lose their teeth.  Once a tooth is seriously diseased, a root canal is the only treatment available to “save” the tooth.

But just how safe are root canals?  And what science backs up dental industry claims of its safety?

Are root canals safe?  The answer is clear…

These questions have been asked — and answered — long ago, as it turns out. In the early 1900s, Weston A. Price, DDS, and Dr. Charles Mayo (founder of the Mayo Clinic) — along with a team of 60 of America’s leading physicians — conducted research on 1,000 extracted teeth in which root canals had been done. Their findings were carefully documented into two volumes totaling 1,174 pages

Dr. Price was a brilliant dentist and researched root canals for the dental association of the day. Unfortunately, his work was deliberately buried for 70 years, and continues to be derided and suppressed by medical and dental professionals alike.

Now the founder of the association of root canal specialists has joined Drs. Price and Mayo in speaking out about its risks.

Save a tooth, lose a life

We covered the whole root canal story years ago in a Special Report called The Secret Poison in Your Mouth. But here are the highlights. . .

Observing patients in his dental practice, Dr. Price became suspicious that root-canalled teeth always remained infected despite treatment.

He once recommended to a woman who’d been wheelchair-bound for six years that she let him extract her root canal tooth — even though it seemed to be normal. She agreed. So he extracted her tooth and, as an experiment, implanted it under the skin of a rabbit. The rabbit developed the same crippling arthritis the woman had, and died ten days later from the infection.

Meanwhile, the woman immediately recovered from her arthritis and could now walk without a cane.

Dr. Price was similarly able to transfer other human diseases to rabbits by implanting fragments of root-canalled teeth.

He discovered that root canal fragments taken from someone who’d suffered a heart attack would cause a heart attack in the rabbit within a few weeks — 100% of the time.

Other diseases were transferred to the lab animals more than 80% of the time. Nearly every chronic degenerative disease has been linked to root canals:

• Heart disease
• Kidney disease
• Arthritis, joint, and rheumatic diseases
• Neurological diseases (including ALS and MS)
• Autoimmune diseases (Lupus and more)

The cancer connection has been studied by Dr. Robert Jones. He found an extremely high correlation between root canals and breast cancer.² His five-year study of 300 breast cancer cases showed:

• 93% of women with breast cancer had root canals
• 7% had other oral pathology
• Usually these tumors occurred on the same side of the body as the root canal or other oral pathology.

Dr. Jones found that toxins from the bacteria in an infected tooth or jawbone can inhibit the specific proteins that suppress tumor development.³ His findings were confirmed by a University of Michigan study about protein suppression.⁴

The German physician Dr. Josef Issels, mentioned in the intro, found that 97% of his terminal cancer patients had root canals.

Incidentally, NO cancer cure can kill the microbes inside a root canal. That may explain the reason some people effectively treat cancer with alternative treatments, then later regress and die anyway.

It’s also a reason many alternative doctors won’t even start a treatment regimen till all root canals are removed. Read on to understand why…

How root canals breed deadly super-microbes

Your teeth are the hardest substance in your body.  So how can they possibly cause disease?

First, the back story…

A pulp chamber, a soft living structure housing blood vessels and nerves, resides in the center of each tooth. Surrounding the pulp chamber is the dentin — made of living cells that secrete a hard mineral substance. Finally, the white enamel is the outermost and hardest layer of your tooth.

The roots of each tooth descend into your jawbone, held tightly in place by your periodontal ligament. Dentists are taught that each tooth has one to four major canals.

But here’s the catch…

Each tooth has a maze of very tiny tubules, accessory canals, which would extend for three miles if stretched out. Weston Price identified at least 75 separate accessory canals in just one single front tooth.

When your dentist does a root canal, he hollows out your tooth, then fills the chamber with a waxy cone called gutta percha, which cuts off the blood supply from your tooth so fluid can’t circulate within your tooth.

But your maze of tubules stays put.

Meanwhile microbes — removed from their normal food supply — hide, move in and around these tubules like gophers in underground tunnels, where they remain safely out of the reach of antibiotics or your own immune defenses.

In essence, these deadly organisms find a new home — one in which they grow and rapidly reproduce.

Some dentists argue that these bacteria die off because the filling blocks their nutrient source.

Unfortunately, it’s proven that these bacteria are able to mutate and change their form. Price found that the challenge of their changed environment makes them more virile and toxic, similar to antibiotic-resistant super-pathogens.

After they breed and fester inside your root canal without immune system interception, they spread out into their host any time they want. When they live in a colony, these microbes are actually quite smart.

A true toxin factory

There is no scientific question about it…

Multiple toxic anaerobic bacteria have been found and identified in and around root canals, using state of the art DNA testing.  Many of these bacteria are profoundly dangerous.

The non-profit Toxic Element Research Foundation (TERF) found anywhere from 11 to 40 different microbes on any single tooth.  Bacteria such as Staph aureus, E. coli, Streptococcus intermedius, Candida albicans, and dozens more…

Everyone with a root canal owns the ‘perfect’ incubator for pathogens that can then cause a variety of diseases, exploiting any weakness in their host–you.

This is known as the focal theory, which conventional dentists routinely deny.

Is is possible to stay healthy with a root canal?

You may also be wondering why some people — maybe you — stay healthy long after a root canal.

It’s reported that about 25 to 30 percent of people seem to do fine with root canals. Dr. Price studied this enigma too.

He found that those without degenerative diseases usually had strong immune systems, capable of protecting them. But when these same people suffered a severe accident, bad illness, or other severe stress problem, their immune systems could become compromised, making them suddenly ill.⁵

The “dead tooth” theory

Do you believe the “dead tooth” theory your dentist promotes?  Maybe you shouldn’t…

Dentists contend they can “sterilize” the dead tooth. But here are three problems with that assertion:

1. Dr. Price found that not one of more than 100 disinfectants studied was capable of penetrating tubules. The same holds for antibiotics today. Price found it IMPOSSIBLE to sterilize a root-filled tooth, no matter how hard you try or how potent the antibiotic or antiseptic.
2. No matter what they embalm the pulp chamber with, the tooth is still dead. And your body does not accept dead structures as safe. Instead, it launches an autoimmune response against the dead tooth… compounded by the presence of pathological bacteria and their toxins. Incidentally, if your dentist calls a root canal a “non-vital” tooth instead of a dead tooth, remind him that non-vital means dead!
3. The American Dental Association insists it’s proven Drs. Price and Mayo wrong — although there is absolutely no research to support their position. What’s more, it strikes me as odd that they continue to deride more than 60 of the world’s most brilliant doctors… while threatening dentists who expose root canal dangers with loss of their license.

It’s also interesting to note that patients who have heart surgery or hip replacements are told by their doctors to take an antibiotic before and after any dental treatments. For the rest of their life.

Now, if your teeth are so sterile and the focal theory is total nonsense as claimed by endodontists, why on earth would this precaution be necessary?

By Dr. Mercola – August 14, 2012

For the full article on Dr. Mercola’s website.

A recently published Harvard University meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have “significantly lower” IQ scores than those who live in low fluoride areas.

In a 32-page report that can be downloaded free of charge from Environmental Health Perspectives¹, the researchers said:

“A recent report from the U.S. National Research Council (NRC 2006²) concluded that adverse effects of high fluoride concentrations in drinking water may be of concern and that additional research is warranted. Fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in laboratory animals, including effects on learning and memory…

To summarize the available literature, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies on increased fluoride exposure in drinking water and neurodevelopmental delays. We specifically targeted studies carried out in rural China that have not been widely disseminated, thus complementing the studies that have been included in previous reviews and risk assessment reports…

Findings from our meta-analyses of 27 studies published over 22 years suggest an inverse association between high fluoride exposure and children’s intelligence… The results suggest that fluoride may be a developmental neurotoxicant that affects brain development at exposures much below those that can cause toxicity in adults…

Serum-fluoride concentrations associated with high intakes from drinking-water may exceed 1 mg/L, or 50 Smol/L, thus more than 1000-times the levels of some other neurotoxicants that cause neurodevelopmental damage. Supporting the plausibility of our findings, rats exposed to 1 ppm (50 Smol/L) of water-fluoride for one year showed morphological alterations in the brain and increased levels of aluminum in brain tissue compared with controls…

 In conclusion, our results support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children’s neurodevelopment.

Future research should formally evaluate dose-response relations based on individual-level measures of exposure over time, including more precise prenatal exposure assessment and more extensive standardized measures of neurobehavioral performance, in addition to improving assessment and control of potential confounders.“

Studies have Repeatedly Linked Fluoride to Reduced IQ and Brain Damage

There are so many scientific studies showing the direct, toxic effects of fluoride on your body, it’s truly remarkable that it’s NOT considered a scientific consensus by now. Despite the evidence against it, fluoride is still added to 70 percent of U.S. public drinking water supplies.

It amazes me that the medical (and dental) communities are so stubbornly resistant to connect the dots when it comes to the skyrocketing increase of cognitive decline in adults, and behavioral issues in children (ADD, ADHD, depression and learning disabilities of all kinds). In fact, there have been over 23 human studies and 100 animal studies linking fluoride to brain damage³. Fluoride can also increase manganese absorption, compounding problems since manganese in drinking water has also been linked to lower IQ in children.

Reported effects of fluoride on your brain include:

Reduction in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors	Damage to your hippocampus	Formation of beta-amyloid plaques (the classic brain abnormality in Alzheimer’s disease)
Reduction in lipid content	Damage to purkinje cells	Exacerbation of lesions induced by iodine deficiency
Impaired antioxidant defense systems	Increased uptake of aluminum	Accumulation of fluoride in your pineal gland

Six Facts You Need to Know About Water Fluoridation

Harmful Effects have Been Known for Half a Century…

What is perhaps most surprising is that the harmful effects of fluoride have been known by conventional medical organizations for over half a century. For example, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) stated in their September 18, 1943 issue that fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons that change the permeability of the cell membrane by certain enzymes. And, an editorial published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, October 1, 1944, stated:

“Drinking water containing as little as 1.2 ppm fluoride will cause developmental disturbances. We cannot run the risk of producing such serious systemic disturbances. The potentialities for harm outweigh those for good.”

Part of the problem is that it’s an accumulative toxin that, over time, can lead to significant health problems that are not immediately linked to fluoride over-exposure. In a 2005 paper entitled “Fluoride—A Modern Toxic Waste,” Lita Lee, Ph.D. writes⁴:

“Yiamouyiannis’ book, “Fluoride, The Aging Factor,” documents the cumulative effect of tissue damage by fluoride, commonly seen as aging (collagen damage), skin rashes and acne, gastrointestinal disorders, and many other conditions, including osteoporosis. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and the Safe Water Foundation reported that 30,000 to 50,000 excess deaths occur in the United States each year in areas in which the water contains only one ppm fluoride.

… Fluoride suppresses the immune system: Fluoride inhibits the movement of white blood cells by 70%, thereby decreasing their ability to reach their target. Yiamouyiannis cites 15 references in his pamphlet, Lifesavers Guide to Fluoridation, that document immunosuppressive effects of as little as 10% of the amount of fluoride used in fluoridated water… Immunosuppressive effects run the gamut, from a cold that won’t go away to increased risk of cancer and other infectious diseases.”

Studies have shown that fluoride toxicity can lead to a wide variety of health problems, including:

Increased lead absorption	Disrupts synthesis of collagen	Hyperactivity and/or lethargy	Muscle disorders
Thyroid disease	Arthritis	Dementia	Bone fractures
Lowered thyroid function	Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)	Inactivates 62 enzymes and inhibits more than 100	Inhibited formation of antibodies
Genetic damage  and cell death	Increased tumor and cancer rate	Disrupted immune system	Damaged sperm and increased infertility

Suppressed Science: Fluoride Link to Cancer

Long-lost research linking fluoride to cancer has resurfaced in a Dutch film clip featuring Dr. Dean Burk, who in 1937 co-founded the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) and headed its cytochemistry department for over 30 years. In the taped interview, he equates water fluoridation to “public murder,” referring to a study that had been done on the 10 largest U.S. cities with fluoridation compared to the 10 largest without it.

The study clearly demonstrated that deaths from cancer abruptly rose in as little as a year or two after fluoridation began. This and other studies linking fluoride to cancer were government-ordered but were quickly buried once fluoride was found to be linked to dramatic increases in cancer.

 

Join the Fight to Get Fluoride Out of Drinking Water

There’s no doubt about it: Fluoride should not be ingested. At least when it comes to topical application, you have a choice. You can easily buy fluoride-free toothpaste and mouthwash. But you’re stuck with whatever your community puts in the water, and it’s very difficult to filter out of your water once it’s added. Many do not have the resources or the knowledge to do so.

The only real solution is to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation in the first place. Fortunately, the Fluoride Action Network⁵has a game plan to END water fluoridation in both Canada and the United States.

There is no safe level of mercury. Mercury is the most toxic naturally occurring substance on the planet, yet, according to the EPA, there is currently over 1 ton of mercury from amalgam fillings in the mouths of Americans. Over 67 million Americans exceed the exposure of mercury vapors considered “safe” by the EPA because of the presence of amalgams in their teeth.¹

Mercury is treated as a bio-hazardous material in a dental office, but then, the uninformed and unsuspecting patient ends up with a mouth full of amalgam fillings, which are 50% mercury.

With over 32 years in the Wellness Industry and having worked with thousands of very sick patients, I have noticed that there has always been a common denominator – amalgam fillings and root canals. Although the focus for this article is the effect of toxic teeth and the role they play in breast cancer, the principles can be applied to every known disease.

Your teeth are living entities that are intricately connected to your blood stream and lymphatic system. There are miles of microtubules inside each tooth that are connected to the bloodstream. Once the tooth is drilled and the enamel is compromised, any substance placed in that tooth is absorbed directly into the body. Human and animal studies have confirmed the presence of mercury in several organs as a result of amalgam fillings placed in the teeth.

The biohazard effect of the amalgam fillings is increased with the slightest friction on an amalgam filling such as brushing the tooth and chewing warm food. Toxic mercury vapors in the form of methyl mercury are then released and absorbed in the body. The release of these vapors has an estrogen disrupting effect.

Specifically relating to the effect of heavy metals and the effect on breast cancer, several studies suggests that there is a link between accumulation of “transition metals” such as mercury, nickel and cadmium (also known as metalloestrogens) and the malignant growth process of breast cancer. A Canadian research team recently (2011) assessed breast cancer tissue biopsies and discovered a highly significant accumulation of heavy metals in the diseased breast tissues.²

Metals have also been shown to activate specific estrogen receptors and increase breast cancer cell growth and proliferation.

It is obvious that amalgam fillings impact the body from a chemical point of view, but the effect that mercury filings have on the energetic system of the body is also very significant. Your body is electrical in nature and the acupuncture meridian system is one of many systems that acts as a conduit of the CHI or life energy of the body. Each tooth is connected to an organ via the acupuncture meridian system. If there is a hunk of metal in a particular tooth, the effect is like sticking a metal object in an electrical outlet. The metal actually short circuits the meridian and in turn can cause stress and fatigue in that associated organ.

Most integrative practitioners would agree that there is a correlation between a particular diseased organ or illness and amalgam fillings and root canals. Clearly this issue should be addressed if you are a journey of healing your body. It is very important that you consult with a Biological dentist that is associated with professional organizations that support mercury free dentistry.

Understanding the effects of toxic teeth and the burden it creates on the immune system is an essential step in healing and regeneration from breast cancer.

It’s no secret that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. But how many people realize that fluoride—which is still added to many municipal water supplies in the U.S.—is linked to heart disease?

In a new study published in the journal Nuclear Medicine Communicationsⁱ, researchers found that fluoride may be associated with an increased cardiovascular risk as it causes hardening of your arteries.

Reviewing the imaging data and cardiovascular history of patients who received whole-body sodium fluoride PET scans, the researchers found a significant correlation between a history of cardiovascular events and presence of fluoride uptake in coronary arteries.

While there are certainly many factors contributing to the rise in heart disease—poor diet likely being the most important—it certainly doesn’t help to add a chemical to water supplies that will be consumed by everyone in the area regardless of health status, from toddlers to seniors, that might contribute to the problem.

The primary issue here is that there’s a lack of evidence supporting the use of fluoride, and an awful lot of evidence stacked against the indiscriminate use of it, including these latest findings.

The practice of adding fluoride to tap water began in 1945. With more than 70 percent of U.S. public water supplies currently fluoridated, chances are you’re one of the 170 million Americans who drink and bathe in fluoride on a daily basis.ⁱⁱ

Most likely, your dentist—along with countless government and public health officials—has praised and promoted the use of fluoride, both in toothpaste and drinking water, as one of your must-do regimens to promote strong and healthy teeth.

But let’s make this point clear right from the start: fluoride is not an essential nutrient needed for your health—dental or otherwise. There is not one single process in your body that requires fluoride.

Fluoride is a Cumulative Poison

It’s important to realize that fluoride is a cumulative poison. Approximately 98 percent of the fluoride you ingest in water is absorbed into your blood through your gastrointestinal tract. From there, it enters your body’s cellular tissues. On average, about 50 percent of the fluoride you ingest each day gets excreted through your kidneys.

Whether this happens or not is highly dependent on the presence of calcium, magnesium, Vitamin C, and selenium in your bloodstream, to which the fluoride will bind so that it no longer is seeking calcium-rich tissues that make up so much of your body. The remainder accumulates in your teeth and bones,ⁱⁱⁱ pineal gland,^iv and other tissues, including your blood vessels.

According to the featured study:

“Fluoride uptake in vascular walls was demonstrated in 361 sites of 54 (96%) patients, whereas calcification was observed in 317 sites of 49 (88%) patients. Significant correlation between fluoride uptake and calcification was observed in most of the arterial walls, except in those of the abdominal aorta. Fluoride uptake in coronary arteries was demonstrated in 28 (46%) patients and coronary calcifications were observed in 34 (56%) patients.”

The amount deposited into your bones and teeth varies depending on your age. In children, more than 50 percent of an ingested dose of fluoride is deposited in bone, but in adults only about 10 percent is stored there. As the number of research studies into the toxic effects of fluoride has increased, there is now support for a rather long list of potential health problems related to fluoride accumulation in your body.

Here’s a list of 20 of the most commonly mentioned health hazards and diseases associated with fluoride exposure:^v,^vi

Lowers IQ	Hyperactivity and/or lethargyviii	Increases lead absorptionix	Disrupts synthesis of collagen
Brain damage	Dementia	Muscle disorders	Arthritis
Bone fracturesvii	Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)	Dental fluorosis (staining and pitting of teeth)	Lowers thyroid function
Disrupts immune system	Inhibits formation of antibodies	Genetic damage and cell deathx	Inactivates 62 enzymesxii
Increases tumor and cancer rate	Increases aging process	Reduces melatonin production and leads to earlier onset of pubertyxi	Damages sperm, increases infertility

Fluoride—the Toxic Drug in Your Water Supply

Prior to 1945 when communal water fluoridation took effect, fluoride was a known toxin. For example, a 1936 issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association stated that fluoride at the 1 ppm (part per million) concentration is as toxic as arsenic and lead. The Journal of the American Medical Association stated in their September 18, 1943 issue, that fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons that change the permeability of the cell membrane by certain enzymes.^xiii And, an editorial published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, October 1, 1944, stated:

“Drinking water containing as little as 1.2 ppm fluoride will cause developmental disturbances. We cannot run the risk of producing such serious systemic disturbances. The potentialities for harm outweigh those for good.”

How community water fluoridation ended up being so widely implemented, and eventually even became heralded as one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century, is explained in-depth in Christopher Bryson’s book The Fluoride Deception.^xivIn it, he describes the intertwined interests that existed in the 1940’s and 50’s between the aluminum industry, the U.S. nuclear weapons program, and the dental industry, which resulted in fluoride being declared not only safe, but beneficial to human health. Once you understand the historical context, it becomes easier to grasp why anyone would ever promote water fluoridation as “a good idea.”

Due to the massive amounts of fluoride required to produce bomb-grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear weapons, the Manhattan Project conducted various experiments to determine its toxic effects in 1946.

There were already several instances on record of fluoride being toxic to crops, livestock and people living downwind from the polluters, so the public concern over fluoride emissions needed to be quelled in order to avoid potentially crippling lawsuits. 

Within the now declassified files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission, Christopher Bryson found that the toxicology department at the University of Rochester, under the direction of Harold Hodge, was asked to produce medical information about fluoride that could help defend the government against lawsuits where they were charged with fluoride pollution. Back in 1957, Harold Hodge was the nation’s leading, most trusted scientist, and when he declared that fluoride was “absolutely safe” at 1 ppm, everyone believed him.

So, the endorsement of fluoride as a nutrient that will grace you with brilliant pearly whites, rather than the poison it really is, was born from the need to address increasingly debilitating political and industrial problems relating to fluoride pollution. The rest, as they say, is history.

What’s Really Added to Your Water Supply?

It’s important to understand that the “fluoride” added to your drinking water is NOT the natural mineral, nor a pharmaceutical grade fluoride. Instead, the product most commonly used is another chemical fluoride compound—a toxic waste product from phosphate fertilizer plants.

There are three basic compounds that can be used for fluoridating water supplies:^xv

1. Sodium fluoride (NaF)
2. Sodium silicofluoride
3. Hydrofluorosilicic acid

The first one of these, sodium fluoride, was the first of the fluoride waste materials to be used for fluoridation, but now is rarely used. It’s the most well known, as this is the compound used as pharmaceutical grade in toxicology studies and other research into the potential health dangers of fluoride. The other two, sodium silicofluoride and hydrofluorosilicic acid, are the compounds actually used for water fluoridation, with hydrofluorosilicic acid being the most commonly used additive, according to the CDC.^xvi Sodium silicofluoride and hydrofluorosilicic acid are the waste products from the wet scrubbering systems of the fertilizer industry, and are classified as hazardous wastes. Contamination with various impurities such as arsenic is also common in these products.Hydrofluorosilicic acid is one of the most reactive chemicals known to man. Its toxicity is well known in chemical circles. It will eat through metal and plastic pipes, and corrode stainless steel and other materials. It will dissolve rubber tires and melt concrete^xvii. This is what is added to your water—all in the name of saving children from cavities! But even the less reactive sodium fluoride is a deadly poison, even in small quantities, and in the form used for fluoridation also contains additional impurities. Other common uses for sodium fluoride include:

• Rat and cockroach poisons
• Anesthetics
• Hypnotics and psychiatric drugs

The Way Forward: Shifting the Burden of Proof

Still despite all the evidence, getting fluoride out of American water supplies has been exceedingly difficult. And it’s no wonder, really, when you factor in the considerable liability the U.S. government could face were they to suddenly admit that water fluoridation was a way to hide toxic pollution, and there are detrimental health effects associated with drinking these pollutants…

Fortunately, there is a way forward.

According to Jeff Green, National Director of Citizens for Safe Drinking Water, a repeated theme in some of the recent cases where communities successfully removed fluoride from their water supply is the shifting of the burden of proof. Rather than citizens taking on the burden of proving that fluoride is harmful and shouldn’t be added, a more successful strategy has been to hold those making claims and the elected officials who rely on them, accountable for delivering proof that the specific fluoridation chemical being used fulfills their health and safety claims, and is in compliance with all regulations, laws, and risk assessments already required for safe drinking water.

For example, a couple of years ago, a Tennessee town stopped adding the hydrofluosilicic acid fluoride product they had been using, while still keeping its resolution to fluoridate its water supplies intact (meaning they didn’t make a decision on whether it might be harmful). They just haven’t been able to find a replacement product that is compliant with existing laws, regulations and safe-water requirements, and they will not add any fluoride product that is not in compliance. To learn more, please see this previous article, which discusses these strategies more in-depth.

Join the Fight to Get Fluoride Out of Drinking Water

In summary it would seem like most rational people would conclude you should avoid using fluoride for its “preventive” benefits. You can easily choose not to take fluoride supplements or buy fluoride-free toothpaste and mouthwash. You can also dramatically reduce your fluoride exposure by opting for organic foods, on which fluoride-based pesticides are not permitted to be used. However, you’re still going to be stuck with whatever your community puts in the water, and as discussed, it’s very difficult to filter out of your water once it’s added. Many do not have the resources or the knowledge to do so.

It’s really time to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation.

Earlier this year I joined forces with Dr. Paul Connett to help put an END to water fluoridation in the U.S and Canada. The Fluoride Action Network has a game plan to do just that. Our fluoride initiative will primarily focus on Canada since 60 percent of Canada is already non-fluoridated. If we can get Calgary and the rest of Canada to stop fluoridating their water, we believe the U.S. will be forced to follow. I urge you to join the anti-fluoride movement in Canada and the United States by contacting the representative for your area below.

Dr. Sambataro met Dr. Hal Huggins in 1985 soon after he read the book, “It’s All In Your Head: The Link Between Mercury Amalgams and Illness.”  He decided to travel out west to study with Dr. Huggins and to also have Dr. Huggins travel to Maryland in order to train his staff.  Over the years he has kept up on the latest research on the dangers mercury amalgams and root canals from Dr. Huggins.

Here is a brief interview in which Dr. Hal Huggins explains the consequences of root canals.

The number one concern of a biological dentist is the well-being of each patient. A good biological dentist will see health as a state of vigor, of wholeness, not just the absence of illness.

Although a dentist can neither diagnose nor treat medical conditions, it is essential that you find a dentist who is aware of the relationship between dental health and your health in general and who can be an effective part of your team of health care providers.

That’s why it is so important to seek out a competent biological dentist.

Maximizing Oral Health and Wellness

To maximize oral health and overall health issues – such as nutritional support, detoxification, the structural alignment of the jaw and TMJ prevention – diet and lifestyle changes may be addressed.

There is heavy emphasis on educating patients about the best preventative care methods available.

Biological dentists are also at the forefront of developing new equipment and techniques to improve patient comfort and safety during corrective and restorative treatments, including new bio-compatible and longer lasting dental materials.

A Biological or Holistic dentist will address long-term health issues by recommending the removal of toxic dental materials such as mercury amalgam fillings and by working to eliminate chronic infections in the mouth.

These chronic infections can include cavitations in the jaw-bone and infections from prior root canal procedures.

When dealing with any oral health need, a good biological or holistic dentist will choose the least invasive and most effective treatment available, working to avoid any unnecessary structural changes in the mouth that could cause future complications.

Linking Oral Health to Illness and Longevity

Medical science is beginning to learn that, while the eyes may be the windows to the soul, your mouth is truly the doorway to the health of your body.

Add Years to Your Life or Lose Them

How would you like to add thirty healthy years to your life?

How about increasing your energy level and decreasing your stress or enhancing your pleasure?

Research is showing us that these things are now possible by taking better care of your oral health. Unfortunately, research is also showing us that you may be risking your health and developing serious illnesses if you are not taking good care of your teeth and gums.

Each year, the medical research community continues to collect evidence of the deadly effects of improper and incomplete care for your teeth and gums.

In the field of biological dentistry, also called health-centered or holistic dentistry, there are thousands of reports, and solid research, of physical and emotional ailments being relieved through proper treatment.

It may be surprising to discover how many ailments can be relieved, in whole or in part, through biological dentistry – and that these ailments seem totally unrelated to the mouth!

Illnesses Impacted by Poor Oral Health and Toxic Materials

• Heart Disease
• Acne
• Inability to think clearly
• Alzheimer’s
• Chronic fatigue
• Numbness
• Chronic sinus infection
• Muscle atrophy
• Light sensitivity
• Asthma
• Infections
• Chronic muscle pain
• Allergies
• Depression
• Headaches
• Migraine headaches
• Colitis
• Chemical sensitivities
• Arthritis
• Hair loss
• Weakned immune system

The list goes on and on…

Oral Health and Disease

After more than 40 years of research and observation, Dr. Reinhard (a well-known German physician) reported that almost 80% of all illness are related to problems in the mouth.

Other researchers have established conclusive links between poor oral health, toxic dental materials and diseases such as Alzheimer’s, heart disease and more.

You see, the human body is a complex network of interrelated systems. Poor health in any one of these systems will be reflected throughout the whole network of systems.

So, while it may not be literally true that illness in the mouth will always cause illness in other parts of the body, the mouth, gums and the teeth will contribute to and reflect the health of your entire body.

The Benefits of Choosing a Biological Dentist

• Improved oral health and comfort
• Improved level of overall health and wellness
• Reduced dental anxiety through earned trust and comfortable treatments
• Avoid costly and painful corrective treatments caused by poor oral healthcare
• Avoid serious illnesses, like heart disease, caused by poor oral healthcare
• Save money by dealing with small problems now instead of big ones late

Hey guys, so there is something else I wanted to discuss with you, probably one of the reasons why I’m better.  Again, I am not a doctor so I can’t really comment about the “why’s” of things but I have a sneaky suspicion it really helped.  Actually, I’ll be honest I hate medicine.  Being bounced around from doctor to doctor made me really hate the medical field.

I know there are some great doctors out there.  I just happened to come across the minority that take my crappy insurance and always told me after every appointment shrugging their shoulders “I don’t know what’s wrong with you.  Maybe you should eat more protein?”.  My usual response was a sarcastic, “Yeah, right.  Protein is going to get me out of this”, as I handed my 25 dollar co-pay to the receptionist.  Leaving these doctor appointments with massive brain fog/derealization made [me] either want to bang my head against the wall or get hit by a car (whichever came first).

When I got off the phone with Perry in July I honestly thought I was going to die.  If I had money I would have written a will (probably leaving everything to my dog Bailey who watched me cry every night).  The first thing I read on my list from the session, I had feverishly tried to get everything down (my hand was hurting at this point), was Cavitation Surgery.  Huh?  My wisdom teeth that had been removed when I was 17 could be the cause of all this stuff?

Cavitation is infected bone, it can occur after the removal of wisdom teeth or a root canal.  A cavitation is a hole in the bone, usually where a tooth has been removed and the bone has not filled in properly.  When a tooth is being extracted, in a normal dental procedure, the surrounding periodontal membrane is usually left behind.  When a tooth has been pulled, the body will eventually fill in the space in the bone where the tooth once was.  When this membrane is left behind, an incomplete healing can take place which can leave a hole or a spongy place inside the jaw bone.

Inside a cavitation, bacteria flourish and deviant cells multiply.  Cavitations act as a breeding ground for bacteria and their toxins.  I was also told that Cavitations can also cause blockages in the body’s energy meridians and can exert far-reaching impact on the overall system.  Some even say that cavitations are reservoirs of huge amounts of mercury or a source of low level or high level stress on the entire body.

There were two things I said throughout my illness especially after this phone call with Perry: 1) is this really happening to me? Some please pinch me and 2) This is insane!?!!

After looking at the list I just stood there in amazement.  The first step was to get thermal imaging to see if the area around my jaw was inflamed or red.  If so this could be causing my energy fields to be out of whack and suppressing my immune system, I would need to get the surgery done.

…..

The next day I took a cab to the doctor’s office and got the surgery done.  They saw redness around my jaw and after the meridian stress test saw massive amounts of heavy metals in my jaw.  It was scary on my own but they treated me with so much respect and were the kindest people in the world.  They even drove me back to the hotel afterward with tons of bloody cotton balls in my mouth and stopped at the pharmacy.

The days after the surgery were very tough but they said everything would go away and my body would begin to heal.  I called Perry crying when I was in the airport on my way back to New York from the pain and she said this was all normal and to brush around my neck where there was a lot of inflammation and to drink tons of aloe.  Each day after the surgery I got better and better.  The hotness around my head and all the night sweats (hot and cold)  started to go away.  It was strange.

I must say that I am grateful for getting it done.  Even though it was scary and went against everything I was taught and was a lot of money for me I might not be in such great a shape if I hadn’t put that sarcastic voice away and let God handle it.  There were times when I thought everyone out there was a quack and out to steal my money.  But sometimes this voice really hindered me instead of helped me.  I even think Dr. Klingheardt talks about interference fields on this website.  If this is something you are thinking about, look into it.  It might be something that you need.
