NEW DNA
STUDY CONFIRMS DECADES OLD RESEARCH THAT
ROOT
CANALS CONTAIN TOXIC BACTERIUM THAT MAY BE THE
‘ROOT’
CAUSE OF MANY DISEASES
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Root canals
have become ubiquitous – almost 60 million are performed each year
You need a
root canal‟ is now almost as common as hearing you need a
filling.
And, it is not lost on the dental profession that people do not want to lose
their
teeth. It is the only treatment protocol available to retain a tooth that is
diseased.
Yet, just how safe are root canals? And what is the science behind their
being a
non-toxic alternative to tooth extractions?
These
questions are not new, nor are the findings. Indeed, Dr. Weston Price
and Mayo‟s
Clinic of 1910 to 1920 described finding bacterial growth in root
canals that
could be transferred into animals and create the same diseases the
donor
human had in from 80 to 100% of the animals. Heart disease in particular,
could be
transferred 100% of the time. His research has since been suppressed by
the various
Dental Associations in the United States.
The Toxic
Element Research Foundation (TERF) using state of the art DNA
testing
technology, identified multiple pathological bacteria
found within
root
canal
teeth, the bone adjacent to the teeth, and even more in extraction sites where
healing has
not taken place. This non-healing occurs in greater than 99% of
found upon
surgical exploration into the bone – about the size of the original
wisdom
tooth. Other sites leave what are called “cavitations” as well.
Dr. Weston
Price‟s death-bed wish was for someone to pick up his hard
earned
baton and make this information available to the public. The Toxic Element
Research
Foundation has done just that, using present days advanced testing
techniques
to confirm Prices‟ research.
The
question now becomes: What will patients, government agencies and
the dental
profession do about it?
_____________
TERF, a
non-profit research foundation, is dedicated to stimulating interest
in the
research community as well as informing the public to become aware of
potential
problems associated with dental materials and procedures. Informed
consent of
potential problems makes for better informed decisions by the patient –
especially
where health is at risk.
For years,
comedians have poked fun at root canals and the pain associated
with the
procedure. Little did they know that the pain was not short lived. As far
back 1908,
microbiology researchers from Mayo‟s Clinic and from the dental
association
at the time found that
bacteria
and their toxins from root canals could
enter the
blood stream and travel to any point in the body, and generate disease to
that tissue
or organ
.
The dental
association, concerned about liability issues
,
insisted
that the nerve chamber in the center of the tooth could be effectively
sterilized,
and that the body would accept a root canal tooth as – not a “dead tooth”
as it was
previously called – but a “non-vital”
tooth – a
new and much more
acceptable
term for a root canal.
Incidentally,
non-vital means dead.
One of the
most decorated dental researchers of all times, Dr. Weston Price,
was
ridiculed by his dental leaders, and, even 60 years after his death, dental
leaders
still maintain his research is not valid. Why?. Fear. For disclosing the truth
about the
toxicity from root canals would heap tremendous liability upon the dental
association
as well as individual dentists. It would also ruin a very lucrative
practice in
dentistry. The association, even today as the American Dental
Association
(ADA),
insists
that they have proved Mayo‟s and Dr. Price to be
wrong.
There is no research to support this claim, and none can be produced. Yet
dentists
are continually threatened with license revocation if they expose the truth
about root
canals or even suggest they may be dangerous.
of mercury
in so-called “silver” fillings,
which
actually contain 50% mercury,
Dentists
fear for loss of their income source if they mention root canals as a source
of disease.
Today,
there are many diseases termed, “of unknown etiology”, which
means, „
we have
not the first clue where they
are
coming from.’ Many health
oriented
dentists and physicians are beginning to recognize that these incurable,
non-responsive
diseases are showing improvements by techniques involving
removal of
root canal teeth and fortifying the patient‟s immune system. Threats,
law suits
and professional humiliation have been used against dentists who stand
up for
their patients, and against the ADA.
How big is
the problem of root canals? In 1990, the ADA set a goal (quota)
of
dentists
performing 30 million root canals per year in the US by the year 2000.
Dentistry
accomplished this by 1999.
Now
the bar has
been raised to 60 million
root canals
per year.
Ask your
friends. How many have root canals?
How many of
those friends
are taking
medications for some vague disease on a daily basis? Of those people
treated for
non-responsive diseases, perhaps as many as 90% have root canals.
Research accumulated
by TERF, based on treatment of thousands of people,
suggest
this is the case.
For
example, Dr. Josef Issels of Germany found that in his 40 years of
treating
„terminal‟ cancer patients, 97% of his cancer patients had root
canals. He
would not initiate
his successful treatments until all root canals had been removed.
TERF
believes it is no coincidence that in the US root canals have been
found to
abound in people with Multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig‟s
disease, Lupus,
leukemia,
diabetes, arthritis, and a host of other autoimmune diseases. Reversal of
these
diseases, as shown by improvements in physical conditions as well as
positive
changes in blood chemistries, occur after the removal of dental toxic
challenges
(mercury, nickel, aluminum, root canals and cavitations) in conjunction
with
stimulation to the immune systems of these people.
Thousands
of lives are challenged daily by the placement of root canals, and
when these
patient‟s genetic weak links break, they and their families are
doomed
to
financial and health losses that destroy their ability to work, play, raise
families
and enjoy
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is believed by TERF that
many of
these diseases
do not have
to happen.
The reason
is simple. Extremely toxic anaerobic bacteria have been found
and
identified in and around root canals.
All
reasonably informed citizens of the US understand that alcohol and
tobacco
potentially create health hazards. They have a choice. Citizens are not
informed of
the multiple disease producing bacteria living in their root canals.
TERF is
convinced that if people were informed of the hazards created by
“anaerobic”
bacteria living in the periodontal ligament surrounding these root
canal
teeth, they could at least make an informed choice about whether or not to
risk this
potentially life altering procedure.
teeth,
blood adjacent to the root canal teeth, and “cavitations”, or the bone defects
left behind
by tooth removal in which the contaminated periodontal ligament is left in
place.
These patients have been informed by their fear-laden, but trusted dentist,
that root
canals are perfectly safe. They are told that root canal teeth are “sterile”.
This simply
is not true.
A
protective barrier is formed around many root canal teeth that allow
nutrients
from the blood to enter, but prevent access of antibiotics and white blood
cells of the
immune system to try to heal the areas. As toxins seep out into the
blood
stream when the owner of the root canal bites down on food, toxins are
forced into
the blood with access to every location in the body that might have a
weak spot.
“Sterilizing the tooth” just does not happen. Yes, a column of air in
the pulp
chamber is cleaned, but the real problem
is in the
periodontal ligament
that
surrounds the tooth. That is the incubator in which billions of bacteria can
breed.
Dr. Weston
Price – head of research for the dental association for 14 years in
the 1920‟s
and 30‟s, published the results of 1000 extracted teeth in which
canal
sterilization
was done in the dental research laboratory. Researchers in the
laboratory
used not just the routine sterilizing chemicals, but extremely potent
sterilizing
agents (more toxic than could possibly be used in the mouth) and in a
highly
controlled sterile environment. Their microbiology specialists found that
97% were
cultured to find re-contamintion within 48 hours. In other words, they were still there.
Many of the
bacteria found were quite pathological.
Today‟s
DNA research
has found
not only the ones that Dr. Price discovered in the ‟20‟s
but many more
that have
the ability to create disease.
Where did
these pathogens (bacteria that can cause disease) come from?
They were
in the dentin tubules – over 3 miles of tiny tubes per tooth that
constitute
the mid section of the tooth called the dentin. This is located right below
the enamel,
and adjacent to the pulp chamber. Where do these bacteria go in real
life? They
travel down the tubules to the periodontal ligament which is the
attachment
between tooth and bone. An area impossible to sterilize, and where
neither
antibiotics nor white blood cells of the immune system can reach this
protected
location. Every time a person bites down – as in chewing – some of
drainage
system. From here they go to the blood stream. From there – everywhere.
everywhere.
Why
should the
public be concerned? With millions of root canals out there,
and
thousands having been told they need one every month, the potential for
problems is
past epidemic almost to the
endemic
stage. Again, it must be pointed
out, those
people are not informed about the hazard they are about to have inflicted
on
themselves.
In most
cases, neither is the dentist.
Everyone
who receives a root canal has an incubator in those dentinal
tubules
that is growing anaerobic bacteria that can create whatever disease their
genetic
weak link would prefer.
This is no
longer a one microbe, one disease, one drug to cure world. Multiple bacteria
families,
joining hands with toxic metals
like
mercury and nickel, now endeavor to create new diseases unfamiliar a hundred
years ago.
It is
contended that dentists “sterilize” the dead tooth. And that is true, they
do.
However, no matter what the pulp chamber is embalmed with (,a wax cone
called
gutta percha is generally placed into the canal),
the
tooth is still dead. The
body does
not accept dead structures as safe. in fact, it launches an autoimmune
response
against the dead tooth
.
This is the
origin of many autoimmune diseases,
compounded
by the presence of pathological bacteria and their toxins.
What about
these anaerobic bacteria? The ones that live in the absence of
oxygen? Who
are they, and in which patients are they found?
years
suggest that the old theory of one microbe – like Strep pneumonia – gives
one
disease, like pneumonia, that is cured by one drug – penicillin, is being
replaced by
group warfare. Toxic dental metals are known to alter the integrity of
the cell
membrane, called cell membrane permeability. Reduction of quality allows
weaker
bacteria to invade the cells, but once inside the membrane, even a weak
bacterium
can cause lethal results to the cell.
“Bacterial
invasion is not consistent. If we identify the bacteria of several
root canals
in a person with Multiple sclerosis (MS) or Lou Gehrig‟s
disease (ALS)
with DNA
technology, we do not find the identical bacteria in each dead tooth.
“For
instance, in root canals or cavitations in people with MS, a bacterium,
Enterobacter
was found. It was also found in ALS and Alzheimer‟s patients (AD)
.
Is there a
similarity, since they are all neurological diseases? Enterobacter is noted
for
involvement in endocarditis (inflammation around the heart), bone infections –
“can cause
disease in virtually any body compartment”; and “cause considerable
mortality
and morbidity rates. Exposure to one type of Enterobacter can result in
neurological
disorders. They do not usually cause immediate death.”
TERF
believes these types of finding warrant further investigation.
In the
study that is the subject of this news release, TERF found that by looking
at DNA
reports of 43 root canal samples, a total of 42 different species of anaerobic
bacteria
were found out of a potential of 85 choices. The number of
different
microbes ranged from 11 to 40 in individual tooth tests. In cavitations, which
are
unhealed bone defects, primarily
where
wisdom teeth have been
ranged from
19 to 53 per single sample. Again, out of a potential of 85 tested.
Staphlococcus
aureus, usually reserved for hospital outbreaks, are not the
most
common, being in less that 23% of the MS, ALS, and AD samples studied,
none the
less can be part of the team destruction process. Aureus is noted to kill
white blood
cells of the immune system. Common denominator? Is it proper to
have a
reservoir of them with their toxins readily available for distribution each
time a
person bites down? The way the system operates, biting down on a root
canal tooth
can squirt toxins out into the system, but antibiotics and white blood
cells
cannot get in through the combination calcium – blood clot barrier provided
by the body‟s
reaction to certain bacteria.
Looking
briefly at the bacteria and their published toxicity for connections to
these
people, these bacteria became suspect:

TERF‟s
spokesperson, Dr. Hal Huggins,
has
researched toxicity of dental
materials
for 40 years. His January presentation for the Toxic Element Research
Foundation
covered the most influential diagnostic
chemistries
selected from his
base of
200,000 data points
.
He found
that many victims of autoimmune disease showed improvements
in blood
chemistries discussed in this TERF presentation that clearly indicate
recovery
from disease is a possibility when the challenging bacteria are removed
with proper
protection for the patient.
Millions of
people stand to regain their lives, and countless more millions will
never have
to contract the diseases thought to be related to the combination of
dental
mercury, nickel, aluminum, root canal and cavitation anaerobic bacteria as
they
combine forces to destroy the immune system.
This
groundbreaking data will be made available to research health
professionals
worldwide who are willing to use the data to find positive solutions
to today‟s
health problems.
Additionally,
this information begs the questions:
Should
the public be informed about the potential real danger of
toxins
from root canals and cavitations,
regardless
of the
consequences,
financial and otherwise, to the ADA and dentists?
Hopefully,
the news media and other agencies will take the lead and assist
TERF in
generating awareness so people can make an informed choice.
