Dr. Weston Price was one of the first researchers to understand the association between root canals and illness. Specifically that root canals can cause the destruction of systemic health and the development of chronic illness. Many doctors today believe that root canals are the infected sites of origin which promote the decline in immunity and systemic health.
Given the well-established link between root canals and illness… can root canals cause cancer?
Root Canals Promote Secondary Infections
The
nerve and dental decay from a damaged tooth is removed during a root
canal. In theory, the chemical solution used to disinfect the area is
designed to get rid of bacteria that may linger and cause further
infections. But can all bacteria truly be eradicated?
Root
canals seem to only place a bandage over a life threatening problem,
and more appropriately merely delay the onset of major health issues.Unfortunately
there is an underlying misconception that infective agents such as
microbes, fungi, and viruses are successfully disinfected within teeth’s
gums. However, there are miles of microscopic tubules which are never exposed to sanitizing chemicals.
In
studies, up to 50% of the pathogenic bacteria population remained
following treatment with the common disinfectant sodium hypochlorite.
Adding human error to the equation, secondary health complications
arising from root canals seem more likely than not.
Root Canals Foster Harmful Anaerobic Bacteria and Promote Antibiotic Resistance
Harmful
anaerobic bacteria thrive in an oxygen-free environment when a dentist
seals off a treated tooth. Toxins are released from the bacteria which
leach into both neighboring and distant areas of the body. In one study,
Dr. Stuart Nunnally, DDS, MS, reported that over the course of three years, all 87 patients who had undergone a root canal procedure reported a decline in health.
Dr.
Josef Issels, MD, a world-famous cancer specialist, was probably one of
the first physicians to require all of his cancer patients to have
their dead teeth extracted as part of his healing protocol. In his book,
Cancer: A Second Opinion, he discusses how over a period of 40
years working with 16,000 thousand cancer patients, over 90 percent of
his patients had between two and ten dead teeth in their mouths when
they first arrived at his clinic.
He asserts (with convincing
evidence) that dead teeth left in the mouth generate copious amounts of
toxins capable of causing cancer in humans.
In
a world consumed by taking a pill to treat a problem, antibiotics are
yet another standard part of root canal procedures.
The targeted
bacteria are sealed off from the root canal and also separated from
circulation or blood flow which enables the antibiotic to treat the
affected area. As a consequence, the population of health-stimulating
bacteria is destroyed and harmful bacteria become further drug
resistant.
Bacterial infections commonly occurring in relationship to root canals include the following:
Enterococcus feacalis: These bacteria are associated with urinary tract infections and are one of the most well-known antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Pseudomonas: Symptoms
associated with these bacteria include a weakened immune system,
pneumonia, blood infections, and may possibly lead to death.
Staphylococci: Referred
to as staph infections, these bacteria not only lead to skin
infections, but pneumonia, blood poisoning, and toxic shock syndrome as
well.
Streptococci: Known
as flesh eating bacteria, populations of these bacteria are associated
with strep throat, pain, fever, dizziness, swelling, confusion, abnormal
blood pressure, and toxic shock syndrome.
Root Canals Increase Your Risk of Chronic Degenerative Disease
Dr.
Weston Price learned of an interesting discovery in the 1900s when his
research led him to implanting the infected tooth from a human into
another animal. The same chronic health complications became apparent in
the animal shortly following the tooth’s implantation. Therefore, it is
not only the population of bacteria which causes systemic dysfunction,
but also the concentration of toxins produced by bacteria.
As a result of Dr. Price’s
research on the implication of root canals and systemic health, we now
understand how root canals increase your risk of all types of adverse
health responses including:
- Pain and suffering associated with inflammation of the body
- Diseases related to the brain
- Nervous system diseases
- Lowered immunity
- Diab
- Cardiovascular disease
- etes
- Cancer
Improve Your Oral Hygiene
The first step for lowering your risk of chronic diseases and cancer is preventing the decay of your teeth and gums.
Consider the following oral hygiene health care tips to lower your risk:
Consider the following oral hygiene health care tips to lower your risk:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day
- Floss daily
- Replace toothbrush as necessary or about every 3 months
- Remove dead cells and bacteria using a tongue scraper
- Use a toothpaste free of fluoride and chemical additives
- Limit acidic foods and drinks
- Hydrate by drinking purified water
- Consume a healthy diet
Try These Other Oral Health Care Tips to Reduce Your Cancer Risk
You
may already understand the benefits of the normal practices of
maintaining good oral health, but some other practices you may want to
try have been around for over 3,000 years:
Ayurveda Medicine: A holistic health treatment believed to prevent and treat 30 types of systemic diseases that originate from poor dental health.
Oil Pulling: Two methods of oil pulling may be practiced. Graha gandushaand kavala graha
are both claimed to cure headaches, asthma, bleeding gums, sore throat,
and tooth decay. Oil pulling can be performed with sunflower or coconut
oil.
Essential Oils:
Essential oils are effective at preventing pathogenic bacteria build up
within the oral cavity when used daily, and contain no adverse health
consequences when used properly. Amazing oral health care advantages can
be seen using tea tree oil, clove, liquorice root, cinnamon, turmeric
root, parsley, and neem.
Probiotics:
Supplementing your diet with probiotics in foods and beverages is a
great way to inhibit the growth of cancer causing bacteria. To improve
your pH balance, try adding foods rich in healthy bacteria such as
Kombucha,sauerkraut, and kefir.
Green Tea:
Green tea is well known to offer life-supporting health benefits. Green
tea contains micronutrients and antioxidants which assist in fighting
inflammation in the body. Lowering inflammation will help to reduce the
risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and cancer.
