I couldn't agree more. Also, a few holistic dentists now do " biological root canals " . I've heard differing things re: how safe they are but they're certainly much better than conventional root canals. If one has cancer, I think it's best not to get any type of root canal.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Deena, they make post and cores now that are non-metallic. You have to ask for it though. Most dentists won't use them because they don't show up on xrays (and because they cost more money). They are made of fiberglass, I believe. I had two of them in my teeth, but ended up pulling the teeth anyhow because of the root canals. You don't really need a 'biological dentist' if you do your own research and work with your traditional dentist so that you can get insurance to foot the bill. Biological dentists don't accept insurance, and are extremely expensive, often charging $1000 just for the initial consultation. Then, they will want another $10,000 to $30,000 for their treatment plan. Dana on 6/3/05 2:43 PM, Ohiobound37@... at Ohiobound37@... wrote: > From: " Eve " > >Root canals are not a good idea.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I have asthma and was told to steer away from nickel. I contacted a holistic doctor and he said don't do root canals. That's why I asked you guys. I've had no infection. My tooth with a cap broke off. The only way to do another cap is a root canal. My time is too too full but I don't want to put something in my body to cause more problems than I already have Much Thanks! Deena From: Chuck Pfeiffer <misc@...> Date: Thu Jun 9, 2005 8:18 am Root canals are a necessity if you want to keep your original teeth and dental structure in place, otherwise go for bridges and implants, which cost more and are not as effective. As far as leaching of metals from the core posts after a root canal, that's a rather insignificant factor due to the cement bond creating a seal that surrounds the remaining tooth. Gold or nickel posts are fine, and gold is the preferred choice. I know the mercury issue is a hot topic, and while the ADA claims they are ok, the entire industry is moving away from amalgam whenever possible for whatever reasons.

I know the mercury issue is a hot topic, and while the ADA claims they are ok, the entire industry is moving away from amalgam whenever possible for whatever reasons. Ceramics are replacing porcelain as they last longer and have better aesthetic appeal. There's been some really odd opinions on root canals and posts. I have had four root canals and several posts for over thirty years, so I know a little bit more than most. An abscessed tooth is a greater source of problems and toxins than anything else, often causing many other symptoms until the abscess becomes painful and/or detected. The abscess can leak toxins into your system for weeks and months prior to being noticed wreaking havoc in the immune system. Any work or materials used in root canals doesn't even compare to the problems that an undetected abscess can cause. The first thing a dentist does is to remove the source of the abscess, usually a necrotic nerve, pack it with a special substance to kill the infection and sterilize the site, then send you off with you a prescription for antibiotics for two weeks to insure there is no infection. No responsible dentist will fill a root canal until he/she is sure there is no remaining infection. They don't want to redo a root canal anymore than you want to endure more chair sessions. The substance packed into the hollow space where the nerve used to be, is a natural substance called " gottapercha " or something to that effect. It's is a refined resin from a plant from South America I believe. The reason I know this is simply because a dentist who performed a root canal on me, was one of the doctors on the research team who discovered the substance and related the story to me while performing a root canal. The substance is very safe for all intents and purposes. To state that root canals can be a source of problems related to cancer is really an off the wall statement. Stress and poor nutrition, unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles, and primarily self induced mental stress are the cause of cancer, not root canals. Eating, living, thinking and praying/meditating in right ways is the best vaccine against cancer. We have three types of diets that need daily attention: the physical, mental and spiritual. Tend to those three recipes and you'll keep cancer at bay. Stress is a result of neglecting a balanced approach to the three daily diets, which will lead to cancer. Replace worry about supposed carcinogens with something better to occupy your time. Ohiobound37@... wrote: > I've got to have the post. Are gold post and core ok instead of nickel? > thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Stress, worry and behaviors play about a 80% role in who does and does not get cancer, diet about 20%, and outside of obvious carcinogens like uranium, plutonium or similar dangers, 98% percent of the labeled carcinogens are not carcinogenic at all. Then again, this statement requires a long explanation of of a different perspective on cancer and how it starts. Cancer is not genetic, but behaviors and personalities are, or certain behaviors are learned that may cause us problems. Like notes below about her paternal side, who lives life, enjoys things in moderation and doesn't WORRY about those topics. Perhaps a review of the maternal side of the behaviors and how they handle stress in comparison to the maternal side may reveal more than one realizes in relation to cancer. The mental features of our makeup are very complex and IMHO, very misunderstood which puts us in a totally different makeup from the animals that have to be subjected to the 10,000 times a normal daily dose of say a cyclamate, which then determines that a product is labeled carcinogenic in most cases. I wonder what the stats would be if they subjected rats to 10,000 times the normal dose of some of the chemos used on humans --------- ?????????? RIP, you poor lab rat would be the likely outcome on the first day.................. Stress affects our digestive and nutritional uptake far more than what is realized, which in turn leads to the immune system failures in a domino effect. Want to beat stress at its' own game? Next time you find yourself in a chronic stress situation, or on a regular basis, drink 8 ounces of apple juice every day for three weeks. This will counter the effects of stress on the digestive system. Long story and explanation to follow in the near future, but the old adage, an apple a day keeps the doctor away has more merit than one might think.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 On a mercury poisoning discussion group I'm on, I believe that some people have had their root canals removed and felt better as a result. The issue seems to be that the root may become infected, and this long-running, low-level infection is a drain on the immune system. I don't believe that I personally have any root canals. Many fillings though. Originally mercury amalgam, now plastic composite. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Thanks Marc. That's the theory exactly. Our naturopath actually observed that of all the chronically ill folks he has seen over the years, 90-95% have had one or more root canals. This correlation may be explained several ways, of course, but it's an intriguing question to explore. Anyone interested in more info can check out " The Roots of Disease " by Kulacz and Levy, or " Root Canal Coverup " by Meinig.) My husband has NO amalgam fillings but has had a root canal since he was about 8 years old, from a bicycle accident. About two years ago an X-ray showed that the root canal was infected. (Pardon the unscientific language here--I won't use the term cavitation because I will use it imprecisely and surely offend someone.) Goodness knows how long the infection had been there. The root canal was completely cleaned out and re-done one year ago, but a recent X-ray showed that the infection is unchanged, and if anything, has grown. My husband's regular dentist simply wants to drill a hole in his head and " clean out " the infected area, leaving the root canal intact. The naturopath we saw yesterday, of course, recommended removal of the root canal. My own feelings on this are clear (get the darn thing out, quick) but it's not my tooth, and I am not the one looking at yet another difficult surgery and recovery, with already compromised immunity and strength. I think the emotional issues are as difficult here as the physical challenges. I still look at these options optimistically, as possible solutions. My husband is worn out, feels we have been down this road many times and find only dead ends. I'm looking for some feedback from the group--it won't necessarily carry any weight with my husband (who seems to be permanently skeptical now), but may keep *my* spirits up as I try to nudge him in constructive directions.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Dear Cara, dental issues have been an ongoing consideration with electrosensitivity. Some evidence is that thorough dental cleanup especially the entire gum region is necessary. See http://www.grn.es/electropolucio/omega41.htm Root canals need to be fixed apparently. Anything that causes a gum infection or toxicitiy is a problem- mainly root canals, but also residue from improperly pulled teeth. There is a machine that uses ultrasound to scan the gum region for any of these dead pockets of tissue called NICOs. The machine is called a CAVITAT and you have to search to find them last I checked. Apparently an XRAY is not good enough, however a skilled dentist, probably also expensive, should be able to spot problems using technique. The only reason I have not had this final step performed is that there is only one machine here, and it is interstate with a lengthy waiting list. This is probably important, and it would be very interesting to see how list members faired with thorough dental cleanup. There are any number of ways it could be involved in es.
