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 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 where 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 counseling 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 to 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 engine 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.

A special report by Dr. Sambataro

But in a world filled with ‘pick me ups’ why then are we still tired when we wake up, tired during the middle of our day and exhausted when work is over? Perhaps there is another, often missed or unexplained link between the fatigue we feel and its source. To that end, Dr. Sambataro has made it his mission to uncover potential reasons for Chronic Fatigue, and more importantly, to help his patients get back to their lives.

It seems as if there are really two kinds of tired for most of us. The first kind occurs after a hard day of work, a fun weekend or a rough night with a child. They all seem to have a source and they all seem to get better with a ‘good night’s sleep.’ The second, and seemingly more common type of fatigue, is the kind that weighs on you at all times, no matter how much sleep you have gotten. It’s like wearing a lead suit that drags on you all of the time. It saps your energy, your strength, and your life. So to combat this you try to sleep more. You work out more to increase your metabolism or you try energy drinks. And perhaps they all work to a degree, but all too soon that blanket of fatigue that just seems to smother you replaced the short spike in energy.

If this sounds like you then, perhaps, you need to read further for answers to the overriding question you  might have at this point.

Why am I so tired all the time?

In Western Medicine, for all of our medical advances, we are really at the beginning stages of understanding the more natural remedies. Often referred to as Eastern medicine, in reference to China and the Far East, these ideas of acupuncture, massage and herbal remedies are only now gaining traction in the established medical community of this country. But, it is this more holistic, or complete approach, that Dr. Sambataro feels is necessary to combating Chronic Fatigue and its link to root canals.

If you say the words ‘root canal’ to many people you would get a wide variety of explanations as to what specifically this procedure is. Essentially, a root canal is performed on an infected tooth by removing the central blood supply and nerve in the center of the tooth. At this point the space in the center of the tooth is filled and the surgery is complete. And, a good outcome is usually one that affords a patient less pain than they had prior to the root canal. But, what if all of the infection in the tooth was not removed? What would happen inside your mouth if you had an active infection that was still present despite the root canal? The answer is you would have toxins, a by-product of the bacteria that make up the infection, released into the mouth and blood stream.

To understand the chronic fatigue that can follow a root canal you first have to understand the design of the tooth and how nutrition and bacteria move through it. The tooth, despite many perceptions, is very open and porous. (Something akin to a hard sponge with an open center and small holes throughout). In the center of the tooth you have a blood supply that brings in fresh blood and takes out the old. You also have a nerve, for feeling, and it is pressure on the nerve that causes pain in an infected tooth. Now, the main blood supply is in the center, but just like the rest of the body, there are small passage that move throughout the tooth. And it is these small passages that allow for nutrition to move through the entire tooth. These passage are also hiding spaces for the bacteria when the center of the tooth is infected. It is the bacterium that is missed when a root canal is performed and it is this aggressive bacterium that survives and releases toxins that your white blood cells have to fight because it is an infection.

The problem with the standard approach to removing infected material from a tooth via a root canal is that is only addresses part of the problem. It does remove much of the infected material from the tooth but it is unable to get into the side passages where the more aggressive bacteria are hiding. And, despite sealing the tooth, this bacterium continue to thrive and survive. Why?? Because this type of bacteria does not require oxygen to live.

In the field of medicine it is well known that bacteria that do not require oxygen to live are more aggressive, more dangerous and more opportunistic. They produce the more unhealthy toxins and they do not mind the small place they have to live. Now, prior to a root canal these bacteria are present but they are held in check by ‘good’ bacteria. In fact, our bodies host many bacteria that mostly work for us by breaking down food or limiting more aggressive bacteria. But when that balance of power is changed, as is the case in a root canal then the body has to turn to its other defenses for help.

If you have ever been sick and felt tired then you have the beginnings of understanding what is happening when you have an infection or illness. Essentially, the body has white blood cells around to fight infection but this comes at a price. The price is that there is only so much space in the veins and arteries for blood so the body makes fewer red blood cells and more white blood cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrition around the body. If you are getting less oxygen around the body then you will be more tired. It is that simple. And, a chronic, or long lasting infection, keeps pumping out white blood cells and limiting red blood cells. The math is simple at this point. Too few red blood cells, whatever the reason, leads to fatigue. Of course, this is made worse if you are fighting an infection.

The medical professions, including dentists, are not normally aware of the link between the bacteria that remain in the tooth after a root canal and chronic fatigue. The link is actually very obvious if you just understand the impact being sick can have on the body. But many in the medical profession would never think to look at the teeth as a source of infection, especially after a root canal. So, what does a person do who is tired all of the time but can’t find answers? The answer is simple, you search until you find someone who will listen to you, consider all the possible sources for fatigue, including your teeth so you can get some answers.

Dr. Sambataro has spent years searching for answers to how the teeth can impact the entire body. He has followed new research; dug out old studies and most importantly he has listened to his patients. All of this has combined to make him closely examine your bodies reasons for chronic fatigue so that you can feel more rested, be more energetic and get back to your life.

An Unspoken Connection: The link between Gum Disease and Chronic Infection

Did you know that 85% of the worlds population is dealing with some form of gum disease. Of course, not everyone is dealing with an obvious form of gum disease. But that does not diminish the fact that, for most of us, our gums are simply not functioning properly. As a biological dentist, Dr. Sambataro began, years ago, to hear from his patients one similar complaint. They were tired. They weren’t just tired, they were exhausted, felt old, felt spent, oftentimes during the day and not just at night. He began to wonder if there was a link, whether obvious or barely noticeable, between the health of gum tissue and chronic fatigue.

His initial endeavors into dealing with the fatigue of his patients was met with his own person skepticism. After all, he was only a dentist. Wasn’t chronic fatigue a problem for an MD or some other medical professional? Still, he couldn’t shake the nagging suspicion that the health of his patients gums was directly related to their fatigue. After all, if 85% of the world has gum disease and if he could understand the impact of gum disease on sleep patterns then he might be able to help his patients. His journey began.

So, if we are talking about gum disease we are really talking about an infection. And an infection is really about sick or compromised tissue that the body needs to remove. And, if you have ever been sick then you know the side effects of an infection are fever, increased white blood cells and feeling tired. However, you should also know that a low level infection, the kind you might find in your gums, is still fought the same way by the body. Your body still increases the white blood cell count and fatigue is still a part of the equation because your body is working so hard to try to fight the infection. Now, if you were really sick, coughing, etc. you might go to the doctor. But what do you do if you don’t really feel like you have the flu? An infection? You just feel tired.

The truth is, even if you did go to your doctor he would most likely have no answers for you. The reason is that MD’s don’t focus on the mouth as a possible source of systemic, or body wide, dilemma. And even if you did figure out that something might not be quite right with your gums your family dentist might not make the connection either. No, to get help with your condition you need a person who understands your condition. And, just like there are specialists in all fields of medicine, Dr. Sambataro is a specialist in Biological Dentistry. He has made it his life’s work to learn about the link between a chronic, low level infection in the gums and chronic fatigue. It is a knowledge that has taken him 30 years to gain.

For many of us, a trip to the dentist is, at best, a rushed affair. Usually we brush a few seconds longer that morning or we may even try brushing right before we see our dentist. But it all adds up to the same, our teeth are simply not getting the cleaning they deserve and this can lead to more rampant grown of bacteria in, on and around the teeth and gums. It is this long term neglect of the teeth that can play a huge role in creating the conditions for an infection. Further, when the mouth is subjected to long term, poor oral care, it not only has a greater potential for infection but if an infection arises it has a harder time fighting it off.

As a biological dentist, Dr. Sambataro has taken an active role in learning all of the things that can, and do, impact his patients. His 30 years of experience treating patients kept bringing him back along the same pathway. His patients were just more tired than he thought they should be and it did not seem to be linked to age, general activity level or gender. No, the only thing he found linking all of these person’s together was their oral health. More specifically, their poor oral health, and once they began to get control of what was happening with their teeth and gums they began to get more energy to live their lives.

Now, this may seem all too simple, and in some ways it is. Dr. Sambataro understands that chronic fatigue is a multi-faceted problem that needs to be addressed in a number of ways. He also understands that if good oral health was as simple as brushing three times a day then everyone would do it. However, he understands that many people would do more for themselves if they only knew about the link. He understands that many of us would never consider our oral health as a direct link to our chronic fatigue. Yet, his 30 years of treating patients has helped him to understand this link so that he is one of the few people in a position to actually help.

If you are tired all of the time and if you have tried all the coffee, caffeine and pills you can handle, then maybe it is time to consider another approach. By setting up a consult with Dr. Sambataro you are putting yourself on the road to a more complete, energetic lifestyle. I know it sounds strange and it may seem like there isn’t a link and yet, Dr. Sambataro has helped thousands of people by using his knowledge and unique approach to treating your teeth and helping you to regains your spark. Remember, every problem has a direct solution, you just have to get to the person who can get you on that path.

Gum disease is a connective tissue disease. It is also known as gingivitis or periodontal disease. It is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the bone and tissue of the gums. The signs of gum disease are bleeding gums, loose teeth, pain, and swelling. Most people don’t get alarmed when they see a little blood when brushing their teeth, but they should. About 85% of the adult population suffers from gum disease. If left untreated it can even cause tooth loss. However there is some good news: gum disease is treatable and preventable.

How does Gum Disease affect the body?

Gum disease is basically a chronic infection in the teeth and it can affect the body like any other chronic infection can. White blood cells will be high because your body is producing more of them to fight the infection. You may feel run down and feverish. Chronic mouth infections also affect other organs in your body when the infection gets into your blood stream. It can cause cardiovascular problems and even diabetes. Oral disease can alter your blood chemistry and lead to medical disease, which can cause oral disease, it is a vicious cycle.

Treatment for Gum Disease

The treatment for gum disease is simple. Your first step should be to find a biological dentist. After that, brushing and flossing your teeth regularly and seeing your dentist at least twice a year and more if needed. Another thing that can be done is to insure the pH in the mouth does not become too acidic. If it does become acidic, then bacteria can flourish.

Anyone affected by chronic fatigue will know that there’s nothing more debilitating than this condition. You feel tired all the time, even when you have had sufficient sleep and you find it impossible to live a normal life. There are so many things you would love to do, but don’t have the energy. You just feel too tired. There is no proven treatment for chronic fatigue and most doctors will tell you to just relax more or learn to manage stress better.

In my profession as a dentist I am aware that 85% of Americans suffer from gum disease and many of my patients present with chronic fatigue symptoms to one degree or another, if not chronic fatigue syndrome, which has led me to seek a connection.

This interest has also been kindled because the most common response I experience after improving a patients oral health is the patient having more energy.

Is there a war going on in your mouth?

Most people have little idea about the contagious and deadly war going on in their mouth, yet alone how this is linked to health problems and even chronic fatigue. I am talking about periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal means around the tooth and gum disease is generally known as gingivitis, periodontitis or pyorrhea.

Gum disease can affect one tooth or many teeth and it starts when the bacteria in plaque, which is continuously forming a film on your teeth, causes the gums to become infected and inflamed. Although often caused by inadequate oral hygiene, you are wrong to think this won’t happen to you because you brush and floss daily. Billions of bacteria breed each day despite all your efforts. Therefore, it is imperative to your health to get your gums checked regularly.

As a dentist, I find it hard to digest that the medical profession will take any other sort of infection in the body seriously, except gum disease. This fact often leaves people sadly lacking in information. Many think it’s normal that their gums bleed and some will even accept teeth falling out without connecting this to gum disease.

Yet with time, plaque may spread and grow and the toxins stimulate a chronic inflammatory response causing the body to turn on itself, as the germs migrate into the bloodstream. It is known that this can increase the risk of heart problems by 300% and can also increase the risks of kidney disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory disease, low birth rate in infants and arthritis.

Types of Dentistry

Dentistry approaches vary, so before looking further into the connection between gum disease and chronic fatigue, I would like to spend a little time in comparison.

Traditional Dentist

• A traditional dentist will look at the gums to see the progress of the disease and will probe to determine the pocket depth. He will scale to remove the hardened calcified plaque, generally referred to as tartar or calculus, so that healing can start.
• If advanced he may tell you that you need surgery to cut some tissue away, but this is not getting to the root cause.

Biological Dentist

• A biological dentist is concerned with treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms and considers the microscope a valuable tool for assessing the progress of treatment. Gum disease is not the only cause of bleeding and this objective approach looks for spirochetes, amoeba and other bacteria.
• He may also take a fluid sample from around the gum tissue and sent it off for a DNA lab test to find out exactly what the bugs are. DNA samples can also indicate whether the patient is genetically susceptible to gum disease.
• He will encourage pH testing of saliva and urine to see if your urine is acid, which would make you more susceptible to disease, and if your saliva is acid, which would make your teeth more likely to rot.
• A biological dentist is concerned with a more comprehensive approach and sees gum disease as a central concern, which leads to medical disease.
• He may recommend an antiseptic or antibacterial rinse, more flossing and brushing, electric toothbrush and water irrigation to keep the build up down.
• He will take a look at your lifestyle and consider factors such as stress, alcohol, smoking and dietary factors.

How Gum Disease May Lead To Chronic Fatigue

When considering the physiological changes in the body that might lead to chronic fatigue, I found four major issues. Naturally, sleep deprivation and other things are relative, but I am going to talk specifically about gum disease here:

• When considering any chronic infection, gum disease or otherwise, there will be an increase in the white blood cell count. This means there will also be less red blood cells circulating through your body. As the red blood cells carry oxygen to every cell in the body, it is simple to conclude that an insufficiency is bound to create some fatigue.
• This also means the immune system will be affected, because when it is on guard full time, it is bound to create stress and fatigue in the body.
• It is well known that chronic infection affects the clotting mechanism of the blood, so that it becomes thicker (hyper-coagulation). This means the thicker the blood, the harder the heart will need to pump in order to push the blood through the same size blood vessels. It’s a natural conclusion that if the heart is working overtime beating faster and harder to circulate the blood that it’s going to create some fatigue in the body.
• Chronic infection will produce free radicals and instigate the body’s natural defense mechanism. The body will need to use many mechanisms to scavenge these free radicals, which will require some energy production.
• This type of infection affects the major organs in the body, particularly the heart and the pancreas, creating cardiovascular disease and diabetes. With diabetes comes poor circulation and where there is poor circulation, more infections are likely, which will have a more debilitating affect on the whole body. In this way it is easy to conclude how having aggressive bacteria in the mouth can easily go into the blood stream, affect every cell and cause fatigue.

When I worked as a traditional dentist I received very few reports of an improvement in energy and people feeling healthier. But now, as a biological or holistic dentist, I feel so motivated because I get many reports of improved health and energy.

If this sounds too simplistic to you, then you are probably wondering “WHY?”

If there is a connection between gum disease and chronic fatigue and it is so vast, why isn’t it being healed?

We live in an age of new technology and are considered medically advanced, so “WHY?”

Brief History of Dentistry

Interestingly, Chinese medicine works under a different premise than Western medicine and the mouth is considered a most central part of healing. However, one of the main reasons that our medical profession fails to recognize the importance of gum disease is that they don’t connect the mouth with the body. The dental profession developed as barber surgeons with the same person cutting your hair, as taking your teeth out. They weren’t medical people and so didn’t progress on even paths.

As dentistry evolved, training included all aspects of medicine including anatomy, physiology and microbiology and progressively became more technical with importance placed on working on teeth, making better crowns and teaching patients how to brush and floss better.

Despite this, traditional dentistry is somewhat lacking in that it sees and treats only the mouth rather than treating the whole person. Instead of allowing the body to heal itself, if gum disease appeared untreatable, then it would be cut out.

After Gum Disease!

I’m not saying that you should have the expectation that if you take care of gum disease, you will automatically heal your chronic fatigue, as it’s likely to be multiple things that that lead to healing rather than any single approach. However, holistic dentistry takes a multi-factorial approach to treat gum disease at the same time as it treats the whole body. This can also include nutrition, acupuncture and even mind-body healing.

Some people may experience a good outcome with better oral health because they are already doing lots of other things. Perhaps they eat well, exercise, or meditate, which could make a difference.

I can only offer my personal experience and encourage people to seek information about gum disease, especially if they are suffering from chronic fatigue. I believe this is the missing link to healing this condition as it removes a load from the body and gives the body an opportunity to repair and restore itself.

The missing factor in the medical and dental field is the link between the two and dentistry is the missing link that may explain why so many people die of a heart attack, at a very young age, for no particular reason. You owe it to yourself to learn more, so that you can avoid future problems!

An Unspoken Connection: The Link Between Mercury Based Fillings and Chronic Fatigue

Are you tired? Have you ever been tired? Have you ever been more than tired, exhausted, totally spent? And I don’t mean the kind of tired you get from a hard day of work, a long weekend or with missing a few hours of sleep over the course of a couple of nights. No, I am talking about being tired, exhausted, all the time. I’m talking about feeling like your reserves are all gone and you’re just barely hanging on with caffeine and will power. I’m talking about the kind of tired that doesn’t go away with a full night of sleep. I’m talking about Chronic Fatigue and for those person’s who are dealing with that kind of tired all day, every day, I am here to offer some hope.

The problem with being tired in this country is that we tend to equate it with being hungry. The solution to the problem becomes a rather simple one. Namely, you’re hungry and you eat. If you’re tired, you sleep. And many of us do sleep; sleep well in fact, but we still wake up tired. So, we try going to bed earlier, cut back on activities, take sleeping pills or listen to self help tapes all to end up back at the same place: utterly exhausted, fatigued, and chronically so.

For those who end up at the same point of fatigue even after seeing doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists and anyone else whom might be able to help; they are left with more questions and frustrations than answers and solutions.

But what if I said that your dentist might have some insight into your chronic fatigue. What if I told you that there is a link between your ‘silver’ fillings and chronic fatigue. What if I told you that your teeth may hold the secret solution to helping you to deal with your chronic fatigue. But, what if I also had to tell you that the link between your ‘silver’ fillings and your chronic fatigue was not something that would be openly spoken about. And what if I told you that the American Dental Association used Mercury as a 50% component of your ‘silver’ fillings and that Mercury is the most toxic metal known to man that does not have radiation?

Now, what if I told you that knowing that mercury is not supposed to be in your body does not mean that the established medical community would be willing, and ready, to help you. Where would you turn to then?

Dr. Sambataro has been a dentist for over 30 years and in that time he has gone through a genesis of understanding. He has transformed himself into one of the leading experts on the link between ‘silver’ fillings and chronic fatigue. More specifically, he understands that the ADA’s use of ‘silver’ fillings, of which he placed hundreds if not thousands of, is really a catalyst for gum disease and other negative side effects associated with having a toxic metal, specifically mercury, in the system. It was his experience as a practicing dentist that helped him to understand that the link between chronic fatigue and mercury was something he could not ignore for the health and well being of his patients.

As a practicing dentist, Dr. Sambataro began to notice certain patterns for those person’s that he treated. He began to notice that those who had once been very active had been slowing down. He noticed that sometimes people who had dental procedures where cavities where being filled led to a slow down in lifestyle and an increase in fatigue. And, as he began to notice this trend he also began to search for some linking factor between all of these individuals who were claiming to be tired all the time. And after examining all the data he was only left with one unique connection between all of the individuals and their claims of chronic fatigue. ‘Silver’ fillings were the only consistent connection his patients shared.

At first he did not want to accept the fact that there might be a link between the mercury in the fillings and the chronic fatigue experienced by his patients but he kept coming back to that point. He kept trying to discount the potential impact on health that mercury could, and seemed to be having, on his patients. But eventually he was left with no other alternative. It had to be the fillings and there was only one way to test this hypothesis. He had to remove the mercury based fillings and replace them to see if any change occurred in the lives of his patients. He was not prepared for what happened.

To understand the link between cavities, fillings, gum disease and chronic fatigue you first have to understand how a ‘silver’ filling is made. A ‘silver’ filling is 50% mercury, and the other 50% is made up of silver, tin, copper and zinc. The mercury is used because it is soft and easy to work with but even when two dentists first brought this idea to America in the late 1800’s it was known to be toxic. In fact, the ADA sprang towards the idea that this type of filling was a safe and affordable alternative to the gold being used when a tooth was to be filled.

However, before we get to the outcome of the initial dental procedure where mercury based fillings were removed we have to discuss what mercury can do inside the body. First, it is important to understand that mercury is a very active metal once it is introduced into the human body. Mercury seeks out the thyroid and the thyroid hormone, which results in HYPO-THYROIDISM. Of course someone dealing with hypo-thyroidism is lethargic, sluggish, tired and they have no energy. Mercury that is being leached from your ‘silver’ fillings could be destroying your thyroid and you might not even know it. Imagine if your chronic fatigue was due to something that was put inside your body that never should have been there in the first place. What if solving one part of your chronic fatigue meant undoing something you thought would help you, namely changing your fillings from mercury based to some other safe metal so you did not have to live with the side effects of constant, low level, mercury poisoning? But Mercury does not stop there.

Mercury can also attack the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland and the heart. It can displace the ‘heme’ in hemoglobin so your red blood cells cannot effectively carry oxygen. Mercury can also attack the white blood cells which makes it harder for your body to fight infection. And since the mercury laced tissue is recognized as foreign by the body your immune system begins attacking your body. All of these reactions to the Mercury could be what you’re living with every day and if your body never gets a break, never gets a chance to heal properly you can start to see how being tired might not be a by-product of too much activity or not enough rest. No, your chronic fatigue might be directly linked to your bodies reaction to having a toxic metal implanted inside it.

And, at the core of this entire issue is the health of your gum tissue and the teeth which are holding the mercury based fillings. Your gums are very vulnerable to infection as a natural result of where they are and what they do. They are in a hot, moist environment where foreign particles are introduced constantly. There are bacteria that feed off of the food that enters the mouth and their by-products wear away our enamel, put plaque on our teeth and compromise the health of our gums. All of this is worsened by the mercury in our fillings which impacts our bodies ability to fight infection. The combination of these serious health implications is that the longer we remain tired, the longer our chronic fatigue limits our ability to live our life, the more severe the impact on our health from mercury is. If you are just plain tired of being tired please continue to read. So, Dr. Sambataro decided to remove mercury based fillings from one of this patients to see if there would be any change.

She was out walking, working in her garden and all of this without feeling so tired she could barely make it. Suffice it to say that he was both astounded and amazed.
