Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 BG, you raise an excellent question whether hypercoagulability and hidden jaw infection are related. I do not know the answer, but my guess is that a person can have both or either one at the same time. Both conditions prevent the antibiotic and oxygen from getting to and killing the infection. Dr Tufft in Oakland California has a reputation for finding hidden infection. He uses full body neuclear bone scan and special jaw xrays to find a hidden infection. If these fail, he then checks for hypercoagulability. He has helped many recover. What is important is that if a person is not getting good results from the antibiotic protocol, they need to continue looking for the cause.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Hi Ray, Our thinking seems to be on the same track. Specifically about the root canal, I've read many things about them, saying no matter how they " sanitize " the area, the pulp is porous and is a breeding ground for bacteria/organisms and a direct link to the blood stream. I believe, as the research says, the hypercoag. assumption could very well be any place in our bodies where we have an infection and the organisms release their product that causes the blood to thicken. Your theory helps me understand what has gone on in my head for 10 years -- the medication has been unable to reach the problem. I keep hacking away at these things, with AP and adjuncts, and really appreciate your bringing the Hemex research to our attention.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Hi Liz, I finally had to have that bad tooth removed and feel better after a couple of months now. The oral surgeon who removed it stated that he definitely saw infection at the root. Now I wonder about my other 3 teeth that have had root canals. I have diabetes and have been unable to take B vitamins because I have developed an allergy to soy and B vitamins make me very nauseous. I am currently getting vitamin B12 shots weekly and my doctor was considering B vitamin shots in the hip for me. My hubby gives me my shots. Theresa B.
