ROOT CANALS
A “root canal” is a procedure that a dentist uses to allow a patient to keep a dead tooth in his or her mouth. The fallacy with this concept is that the body doesn’t like dead things in it and will try, sometimes desperately, to get rid of the dead thing. Notwithstanding, the fact that it may be “handy” to save a tooth for “dental convenience”, it does not change the fact that root canal treatments can devastate the human immune system. “Root canals” cause:
Suppression of the immune system
- The creation of an “interference field” on the meridian that the particular tooth is on (meridian – a channel of energy that flows between different tissues, organs and structures).
- The production of the most toxic organic substance known to man.
Root-canal fillings can cause serious side effects. Dr. Weston price is recognized as the greatest researcher that the dental profession has ever produced.
Dr. Price, after observing many patients with crippling degenerative diseases not responding to treatment, suspected infected root canal-filled teeth to be the cause.
He then embarked on a 25 year-long study to see if his suspicions were correct. This study was done during the first 3 decades of the 20th century! However was not shared with the general public or dental students so there is a big void in our dental education where root canals are concerned. Dr. Price devised a testing 
He found that when the root-filled tooth of a patient with a degenerative disease was extracted and imbedded in an animal, that animal would develop the patient’s disease.
He did this in over 5000 animal studies and the results were consistent. In the beginning, Dr. Price did not know just where the infection was hiding in the tooth, only that a patient’s illness was rapidly transferred from his root-filled tooth to laboratory animals, in case after case.
Dr. Price was able to culture the bacteria in root-filled teeth and trap their toxins, thus reproducing a disease in a rabbit by injecting the cultured material into the animal. Dr. Price discovered a wide variety of degenerative diseases to be transferable to rabbits, such as endocarditis and other heart diseases, kidney and bladder diseases, arthritis, rheumatism, mental diseases, lung problems, pregnancy complications, almost any degenerative problem – and after extraction of these teeth, a large percentage of patients recovered from their illnesses.
Below, a very severe arthritis was getting progressively worse in this 16 year old boy (pictured above) who had been bedridden since age 12! It progressively improved after the removal of dental infections.
Handiwork made with these formerly nearly usless hands by the same 
young man. This was his appearence only a few months after the offending dental infection was removed. Joints stiffened for years have limbered up and relief from pain is complete!
When healthy uninfected natural teeth were implanted in animals, no adverse health effects were experienced. This vitally important research was forced underground, and has remained virtually unknown since its 1923 publication.
Millions of people are ill, suffering from degenerative diseases for which the medical profession is at a loss regarding cause and treatment; the degenerative disease problem continues to bankrupt our people and country. Today we know that the toxins made by the bacteria that live by the billions in root-canal teeth contain the most toxic organic substance known to man – thio-ethers.
Thio-ethers are 1000 times more toxic than botulism toxin, which used to be considered the most toxic organic substance.
So from a practical standpoint, one would be well-advised to worry less about anthrax and instead focus on root canals which are much more likely to cause you personal harm.
In addition to thio-ethers, other severe toxins from these root-canal bacteria include thio-ethanols and mercaptans which have been found in the tumors of women who have breast cancer draining through the lymphatic system down the cervical chain of lymph nodes and ultimately in to the breast tissue. Besides being harbored in root canals, these dangerous bacteria also take up residence in cavitation which result from most extracted teeth. Thus one can get a “double-whammy” from the root canals and the cavitations.
A tooth is basically comprised of 3 layers. The enamel (what we see when we look at another person’s teeth, the hard, white attractive outer layer of the tooth), the pulp (a tiny island of soft tissue at the center of the tooth – the same place in a tooth that a core would be in an apple – the so-called “nerve”), and the dentin. Dentin accounts for about 90% of the tooth. When looked at under a microscope, dentin has a very specific structure. It is made up of “jillions” of incredibly tiny tubules that radiate outward from the pulp to the outer edge of the tooth
If one could somehow take each of one of these “jillions” of “tubules” in a front tooth and lay them end to end, they would stretch for 3 miles. These dentinal tubules are like tiny pipes that radiate outward from the pulp to the outer surface of the tooth – kind of like spokes of a wheel (if you think of a cross-section of a tooth).
The centers of these tubules are filled with living protoplasm. The protoplasm in these tubules has no blood supply so it depends on the blood vessels in the pulp for it’s nourishment or sustenance. Once a “root-canal” is done to a tooth, the pulp is gone (sacrificed) – which makes a root canal tooth a dead tooth – an expensive dead tooth.
Now the protoplasm in these miles and miles of dentinal tubules dies, and these tubules become a “dandy” place for bacteria to hang out. They have “free eats” on the dead, decaying protoplasm in the tubules. These tubules are 1 to 1.3 microns in diameter- big enough to accommodate bacteria, but too small to allow entry of white blood cells (which are the body’s principal way of controlling excessive bacterial populations). Now your root-canal tooth becomes a bacteria factory. The bacteria now are cloistered away from the body’s defenses and thus have free reign to proliferate.
Existing inside the tooth, these bacteria have no access to air so they mutate into the anaerobic form – the kind that can live in the absence of air. When the bacteria mutate, their metabolism changes so that they give off waste products that are incredibly toxic. These toxins include thio-ethers, thio-ethanols, and mercaptons
CAVITATIONS
A cavitation is an unhealed hole in the jawbone caused by an extracted tooth. Since wisdom teeth are the most commonly extracted teeth, most cavitations are found in the wisdom tooth sites. Please see the graphic and photo below to get a glimpse of what may be in your mouth
The photo and diagram demonstrate the destructive and pathologic consequence of a routine tooth extraction. Dentists are taught in dental school that once they pull a tooth, the patient’s body heals the resulting hole in the jawbone. However, approximately 95% of all tooth extractions result in a pathologic defect called a cavitation.
The tooth is attached to the jawbone by a periodontal ligament which is comprised of “jillions” of microscopic fibers. One end of each fiber is attached to the jawbone and the other end of the fiber is attached to the tooth root. When a tooth is extracted, the fibers break midway between the root and the 
bone. This leaves the socket (the area where the root was anchored in the bone) coated with periodontal ligament fibers.
There are specialized cells in the bone called osteoblasts. Osteoblasts make new bone. The word “osteoblast” means bone former.
They are active during growth and maintenance. However, the periodontal ligament prevents the osteoblasts from filling in the tooth socket with bone since the periodontal ligament fibers lining the socket act as a barrier beyond which the osteoblasts cannot form bone. In other words, an osteoblast “sees” a tooth when it “sees” periodontal ligament fibers.
Since there are billions of bacteria in the mouth, they easily get into the open tooth socket.
Since the bone is unable to fill in the defect of the socket, the newly formed “cavitation” is now infected. Also, since there is no blood supply to the “cavitation” it is called “ischemic” or “avascular” (without a blood supply). This results in necrosis (tissue death). Hence we call a cavitation an unhealed, chronically infected, avascular, necrotic hole in the bone.
The defect acts to an acupuncture meridian the same way a dead tooth (or root canal tooth) acts. It causes an interference field on the meridian which can impair the function and health of other tissues, organs and structures on the meridian. Significantly, the bacteria in the cavitation also produce the same deadly toxins that are produced by the bacteria in root canals. These toxins are thio-ethers (most toxic organic substance known to man), thio-ethanols, and mercaptans. They have been found in the tumors in women with breast cancer.
Is It “Wisdom” to Extract Healthy Teeth?
The “wisdom teeth,” or third molars, fell prey to the theory of evolution and billions of dollars, rivers of blood, and mountains of pain were the unfortunate result.
The evolutionary theory concluded that we evolved from ape-like ancestors and, in this process, the jaw became smaller leaving less room for the third molars, or wisdom teeth.
As evolution is considered and “upward” evolving, at least where humans are concerned, it has never been explained why we were better off with fewer teeth.
But Dr. Weston Price, a dentist and nutritional pioneer of the early 20th century, did landmark research in the South Pacific that explained very clearly why the jaw could no longer accommodate our complete set of 32 teeth: nutritional changes; the turn to a high-sugar diet: the abandonment of animal fat and animal protein for a diet that was increasingly vegetarian and vegetable-fat oriented.
As recently as a hundred years ago, this condition rarely occurred. Our forefathers, those born before about 1920, didn’t have trouble with their wisdom teeth and there were no oral surgeons. The condition of “impacted” wisdom teeth was essentially unknown. The skulls of ancient tribes from all over the world show no such problem. These tribes lived on animal fat and animal protein and didn’t know anything about the “macrobiotic” Pritikin/Ornish cow-feed diet.
Current studies conclude that literally billions of teeth have been removed unnecessarily, which has made a comfortable living for a lot of oral surgeons – nine out of ten American 
The cumulative cost of wisdom tooth extraction is estimated to exceed “that for any other surgery,” says Dr. J.F. Tulloch, reporting in the Journal of Dental Education.
One of the arguments given for removing the wisdom teeth is that they can push the other teeth forward over the years, forcing the incisors (front teeth) to overlap. There is virtually no evidence to support this assertion. The front teeth tend to drift forward, at least into middle age, whether or not the wisdom teeth have been removed. This natural crowding cannot be prevented by extracting the third molar (wisdom) teeth.
The surgery is not without its problems. It’s certainly not a benign procedure and can cause some serious complications such as infection, “dry socket,” nerve damage, temporary or permanent anesthesia of the lip, lingual nerve damage, numbness of the tongue, and damage to the adjacent teeth.
One Michigan study found that more that 10 percent of all wisdom tooth extractions cause complications. Other complications mentioned by these authors included persistent bleeding, damage to the gums, and jawbone loss (which may affect the support of the adjacent second molars).
Even when a molar is causing a problem, extraction should be the last resort. From the standpoint of the oral surgeon there is only one course of action: take it out. This is often unwise as cleansing the area, trimming the gum, and treating any infection may be all that is necessary. In other words, treat it as you would any other infected tooth.
A 1991 report in the New York Times concluded: “If surgeons removed only those wisdom teeth that actually caused problems…the nation would save at least $150 million a year in medical expenses with no ill effects. And tens of thousands of people, mostly teenagers, would be spared the aches, pains, and complications that can result from the surgery.”
Action to take: If a dentist recommends removal of wisdom teeth that are not causing any problems, ask him to show you the X rays and explain why the surgery is necessary. After he shows you with a lot of scientific scary stuff, such as, “you may need emergency surgery later so it’s best to get them out now” and “the extraction is more difficult if you are older,” get a second opinion from a dentist who doesn’t do surgery. Since only 30 percent of wisdom teeth become impacted, 70 percent are being extracted unnecessarily.
Dr Arikian can reduce infection quickly through CST and energy work. An infected wisdom tooth or mauler can be treated, however if it has been left too long, and the infection has spread to the bloodstream, antibiotics from your local GP would be necessary to stop further complications.
Questions and Answers
Q: My toothache is becoming really painful, I have had it for a couple of days. Do you know of anything natural that will fix it ?
Dental pain could mean anything from a cavity to an abscess, but occasionally it can signal other serious problems, such as a heart attack, an ear infection, or a sinus problem. Any pain or soreness within or around a tooth or the jaw should be evaluated, especially if it’s accompanied by a fever; chest, shoulder, or arm pain; a foul discharge; trouble breathing or swallowing; or if the pain continues longer than one or two days.
Natural remedies can take the edge off without interfering with subsequent treatment the way traditional painkillers can.
For fast relief, try activated charcoal powder, which you can find in some health food stores and through numerous online sources. Mix about 2 teaspoons of the powder with just enough water to make a paste. Apply the paste to gauze and bite down.
For another effective remedy, head to your local health food store and pick up some clove oil. Mix two to three drops with 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil. Apply some to a cotton ball or dab it directly on the sore spot.
