I have read about them and have kept it on the back burner, because I wanted to see what just amalgam removal and some chelation would do for me first, and of course the money issue. But I often have this feeling that my body is almost constantly fighting something, and I keep wondering about the cavitations. I had all my wisdom teeth removed over 15 years ago, and I do recall having at least one dry socket. I believe two mercury-free dentists have told me that my wisdom teeth sites look suspicious just from panorex x-ray, so it may be time to address this next. It will involve some traveling and more money, but I think it might be worth it.-------Jackie T. The Majority of the people I know were unable to afford the CAVITAT scan and had the peridontist open up the old extraction sites anyway. -------I'll have to find my notes, I did some checking on this last year, I believe I was quoted $500-something for a CAVITAT scan by a dentist in Wisconsin. And cavitations are not widely accepted here in the US, and I'm not sure if the oral surgeon that this dentist refers people to would do it without a scan. I believe his office quoted me $490 per site for cavitations, so if the scan would show that not all of them need to be done, then it might be worth it money-wise also. And, I don't seem to handle anesthesia very well, so I don't want to do any unneccessary surgery either. Otherwise, I may have to go to Tijuana to get this done, but since I have already taken care of my fillings, I can't hardly see going that far for just cavitations, especially without confirming that I have them with a scan.----Jackie T. The literature was right 95% of old wisdoms contained cavitations. I would advise you to find someone that KNOWS how to clean them and check them out regardless of a CAVITAT. -------We have brought my mother to this oral surgeon for teeth extractions, and he seems to understand about the periodontal ligament removal and cleaning out necrotic bone, and he is who the holistic dentist with the CAVITAT machine refers people to, so I think he's my best bet within a reasonable distance for me. And my sisters and I liked him and his whole office staff, seemed to be very caring people, when we brought my mother there.------Jackie T> The CAVITAT is only really useful practically in someone that has had masses of extractions and it is not feasable to check out every old site. You can never, never rule out a cavitation by x-ray as most are not visible - but if your dentists says it looks suspicious then you are sure to have one. -------Yes, I have read a fair amount about them, but the problem here in the US is it is not widely accepted, so not many oral surgeons are experienced in this. They are probably also worried about lawsuits and losing their licenses, etc. I have talked to Leo Cashman at DAMS about this last year, and he confirmed that not many in the US know about this and how to do it properly. And I guess the CAVITAT scan would be some verification for me also, that they do actually exist, and whether or not they are in all 4 locations or not. I think it would be money better spent than some of it I have wasted on doctors. The deciding factor will be whether the oral surgeon will even do it without one.--------Jackie T. One of the most dramatic recoveries I've seen was from someone who had ME for twenty years. When they cleaned the green gunk out of her wisdoms, the ME vanished with it. -------That's amazing! I have heard of other wonderful improvements also, in Huggins' books and a book by Stockton, Beyond Amalgam, The Hidden Dangers of Root Canals and Cavitations, or something like that. She also talked about Bob (I think I got his name right), the man who invented the CAVITAT machine. He was diagnosed with ALS, and improved greatly with amalgam removal and cavitation/root canal removal/cleaning. It's a good read. Seeing a dramatic recovery in person must be amazing! I recall someone who used to post on the adult-metal-chelation group had dramatic improvements once she had this done. She posted her improvements, and now she's gone, probably off living a normal life.-----Jackie T> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
