There is no branch of medicine that exists

where a dead organ is left in...

DOCTOR IN MEDICINE

... except in dentistry,
where a root canal is leftin.

If a guy's got a gangrenous toe,
you got to cut the toe off

because it is bacterial infested

and it's toxic and it's
gonna kill that patient.

If you think that you can get away
with an infected and toxic tooth

and not have a systemic consequence,

I think you are deluding yourself.



NOVEMBER 24, 1994

This is the day,
my whole life went to shit

and I didn't even know it.

This is called Schoolie's week.

Every year,
thousands of high school graduates

spend a week getting royally wasted

in the celebration to the exquisite end
of their high school education.

That's me. on the left.

on my way to another party.

-Shut up! Already said!
-Excuse me! I'am sorry

every time you do this!

and this is the guy I was unlucky
enough to get into a fight with.

Hey! WoW! WoW! WoW!
Are you all right?

-Piss off!
- Come on man, backup!



I had no idea that
the punch that shattered my teeth,

was the punch that
shattered my world.

Here come those seven little words.

You're going to need a root canal.

Now, If you've never seen one done before,

brace yourself!

Because this is a root canal.

They drill into your tooth...

extract the root...

fill it with gutter percher...

and you are on your merry way.

THE ROOT CAUSE

Things have a funny way
of catching up with you.

One moment you are
enjoying your holiday in Thailand

then your heart starts pounding.

Your breath gets shorter...

your vision narrows...

and you really think you're going to die.

Then you find out it
was just a panic attack.

Well, I recommend that you
start taking Lexas-M 10ml.

It is an antidepressant.

There could be a few side effects but there
is nothing to concern yourself with. Okay?

I quickly realized that the
doctor is treating my chronic illness,

were clutching at straws ..

I read the side effects of
everything they kept prescribing me:

fatigue, nausea, dizziness,
agitation, weight gain...

and impotence.

When I said that my life
went to shit,

I'm really not exaggerating.

Panic attacks gave
way to chronic fatigue.

I was a wreck,

A total lost cause.

Twelve hours of sleep felt like one.

I get out of bed every morning thinking,
"Will this ever end?"

Why do I feel so tired, so run down,

so anxious and so confused?

But I kept following that old saying:
"Grin and bear it".

I'd walk like a zombie to the bathroom,

staring into the mirror,
just like this,

and asked myself the same old question:

"What is wrong with me?"

But I'd still smile,
because that's what we do, right?

We smile.

We ignore the truth that's
right in front of us.

We move on, we smile.

"Smile, though your heart is aching

Smile, when your heart is breaking

We grid our teeth and we smile.

I did the only thing I thought I could do.

I went searching for answers.

First come blood tests.
Then more blood tests...

"perhaps, you have
hypoglycemia." Bloodtests.

Then comes natural path

and you find yourself taking a supplement
after supplement after supplement

get fedup with it,burn your $100 bills
oof it's some expensive ur on.

Then you tap yourself silly
with some EFT or TFT.

"Actually I think sleep apnea is the key!"

Then you start seeing spiritual healers
doing spiritual courses,

get your chakras balanced
from your toe to your head

and why not get your aura read?

Tried some reflexology,
iridology, kinesiology, psychology,

and you better learn about endocrinology.

Have Chinese herbs. Get cupping.

crazy suction!
"Why not have a go at moxibustion?"

Hit me with shiatsu
whilst I find a new guru.

Yeah, I tried an op,

walked the fire walk...

Did my daily affirmations and
didn't forget the visualizations.

Wear lot's of crystals.
Hanging upside down.

I tried all forms of bioresonance
going round

from boicom to zaito
and anything using sound.

Saw a Psychic in a den.

helped with my Zen.

That repersents ill health.

get a chiropractor.

Found a homeopath.

get your meridians balanced.
Have kahuna.

I even juiced for ten days straight,

from wake up to night.

Yep. Nothing but juice for
ten days straight!

eat only organic.
Increase your macrobiotics.

did parasite cleanse, intestine cleanse

so many liver cleanses.

Over a dozen coffee enemas.

I tried cold showers and
graduated to icebaths.

I relived past lives with
hypnotic regression.

Hell of a session!

I went inwards with the healing codes
and then the neeling codes.

I screamed and punched pillows.

I read a truck load of books

and I even tried a weee bit of
medical marijuana.

I did shamanic rituals.

This was actually amazing!

I did retreat after retreat
after retreat.

That was treat.

I did chromotherapy, aromatherapy,

hypnotherapy.

"Oh, have you tried urine therapy?"

"Oh, you need shilajit."

Man, I tried all sorts of shit.

I tried anything New Age, self-improvement.

Got blessed by gurus and
joined the Oneness Movement.

Got my feet grounded.

And don't get me started on
pyramid marketing products that I bought

that were meant to cure me.

I even tried kambô.

"Kambô? What's that?" - you ask.

well, kambo's are rare amazonian
frog the shamans use their poisonous skin

to purge your toxins.

They burn it into your skin,
you pass out and vomit for 20 minutes.

You may think that I am joking,

but I've got the scars to prove it.

And funnily enough,

these are the things
I tried that actually helped.

But every day, I'd still get up tired...

anxious and confused.

I started to think that
maybe I was beyond help.

What if I could tell you that 98% of
women that have breast cancer...

AUTHOR TO KNOW YOUR TEETH

... have root
canal teeth

on the same side as the
offending breast cancer?

What if I told you that the
biggest toxic influence

in the body in a chronically ill person
is the root canal tooth?

What if I could tell you

that the leading authority in
cardiovascular prevention,

which is Bale & Doneen,

doesn't condone root canals in your mouth
because of the bacteria?

All the people who come to me
with chronic illness...

DOCTOR IN MEDICINE

the question is, how many of
them have a dental etiology to

the cause of the ronus?

I would say almost all of them.

The vast majority of chronic
degenerative diseases

begin...

CARDIOLOGIST, TOXIC AUTHOR

... with problems in the mouth,
infections and toxins,

and it's only until those who're addressed,

they should go into any clear positive
response with your disease.

I had a girl come in here

who was early 40's

very fit,
very nutrition conscious,

and that she came in here because she
had severe horrible back pain.

Infact, the first day she walked in,

she had a four pronged cane,
bent over,

and she was on full narcotics
round the clock for her chronic pain

She sat down and she wanted me
to do some injections on her back

to help relieve the pain.

I said, "I am happy to do that,

but let me just dig a little bit
about what could've happened to you. "

She said "well, I got back pain,
I went to an orthopedist.

The orthopedist said
he did an MRI on my back,

said I had a herniated disc,
did surgery on me to remove the disc.

About Six weeks later, I was worse.

The orthopedist surgeon did another
MRI on me,

he said the disc had moved more

and that I would need to have laminectomy
at two levels.

He took me in, did a laminectomy
of the L4 and L5 vertebrae."

Laminectomy means the back half of the
bones and the spine are pulled off

so that there's more room for the
discs and more room for the nerves.

At which point, I saw her,
and she was worse.

And what came up on the examination I did

that she had some
inflammation in her jaw bone.

I said, "Did you have any dental
work done prior to this back pain?"

She said: "Come to think of it, that I did.

I had an infected tooth.
I had a root canal done.

The root canal failed.

I had another redo of the root canal.

It also failed.

I had the root canal tooth pulled,
I had a graft put in there,

and I had an implant put in there."

So I said, "Let's do an
experiment in the office

I can inject a local
anesthetic on that tooth.

If your back pain is
related to that tooth

and I blocked the nerve
coming from that tooth,

it may make your back pain feel better.

That may be the reason for your
pain because after two failed surgeries,

the chances of them working
are not good. "

So she said, "I'm in."

I took a local anesthetic and
injected to her tooth

and I waited about 15 minutes.
When I came back into the room,

she was standing up, going like this.

I said, "How does it feel?"
She said, "It feels 90% gone."

I said, "then probably this is
linked with the tooth.

I just wanted to be sure.

you come back in three days,
we will do this again

Just want to make sure
it's not just a relief reaction

sort of a mental... you know the
psychosomatic is gone. "

We did it again
she said,

"It is gone. I'm going back
to the oral surgeon

and have them take that damn implant out. "

Within a couple of weeks, her back pain,

except for what was left of the
surgical trauma, it was gone.

Root canal procedure is still a
very very popular thing in the dentistry

because no one wants to lose a tooth.

But more and more people
beginning to realize...

DOCTOR IN ORAL SURGERY

... that even for current day modern and
very traditional literature,

that it is impossible to
sterilize the root canal system.

most conventional dentists believe...

that there is no problem with, but
I personally couldn't disagree more.

I think they are a hidden source
of toxicity for almost anyone.

The reason that root canals have
an inherent problem...

DENTIST SURGEON

... is that because we know

that nowhere else in the body
can we leave dead tissue

Anywhere else in the
body, like the appendix,

have dead tissue,
that does'nt heal.

and any other area of the body,
we know we have to remove that

because it's a haven for bacteria,
and it's not compatible with health.

The same is true in a tooth.

Tooth is a living structure, has a
blood supply, has a nerve supply.

And so, when a tooth dies
or becomes infected,

and we decide to go and do a root canal,

even the best endodontist,
A root canal specialist

can do an great job at cleaning of
the main canal of any of the teeth.

But what they can't get to are all
of these thousands of tubules.

you can see if you cut a tooth in half or
under a microscope,

you can see these thousands of tubules
that run out in every different directions

and all sorts of angles from
the main canal.

those microtubules are big
enough for bacteria to fit in...

BODY CODE AUTHOR

...but not much else.

The problem is that if we have
9km to 12km of microtubules

in a single tooth,

it is impossible to sterilize them.

So, after root canal has been performed,

unfortunately, the bacteria
still reside within the tooth

and now you have a nice
warm incubated tooth

for the bacteria to flourish.

And, now there is no access from the

patient's own immune system to that tooth

because in the process of
doing the root canal

blood supply and the nerve supply
have been severed

and the body can no longer
send its own immune defenses

to help keep the
infection in check.

From 70% to 90%...

AUTHOR AND EDUCATOR

... of all medical problems actually
originated in the mouth.

Conventional dentistry still hasn't focused
on a mechanistic Newtonian mentality

that the teeth are not
connected to the rest of the body.

I mean, embryologically, the
teeth develop from the same tissues

that gives rise to the sympathetic and
parasympathetic nervous system.

The blood supply and the mouth will
literally take any toxins

via the lymphatic system and take it
down to the thyroid, thymus, heart

and for the rest of the body.
So there is a direct connection.

The teeth is not just like a stone...

MEDICAL DIRECTOR,
SENIOR CONSULTANT OF PARACELSUS

...in the mouth. It is widely connected.

The pulp is extremely densely
connected to the lymphatic system,

to the autonomic nervous system,
more than any other organs.

It is connected to the oropharynx,

the sensitive nerves that
the brain directly enters,

and all meridian systems.

Every tooth connects energetically
through the meridian system

to certain organs and glands. For example,

on the upper side of the jaw,
the last two molars and this bicuspid

actually connect energetically
to the left breast

and on this side to the right breast.

And 95% of the time,

women who have breast cancer and
have undergone a thermographic study

will be found to have hot spots in the jaw
on the same side as the malignant breast.

97% of our breast cancer patients

aged between 30 to 70,
we tested all these patients,

they had a root canal or a
toxic situation in the teeth.

The discussion of the
energetic relationship

of the teeth to the rest
of the body is very interesting.

Every tooth lies on a specific
acupuncture meridian...

BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY

... related to certain organs and
tissues and groups of vertebrae and muscles

and so very often we can
see a direct relationship.

For instance, There's a 19-year-old girl.

In her first year of college,
she had a root canal on a front tooth.

That front tooth relates to
the kidneys and the bladder.

She started to have bladder infections
and kidney infections

She tried every treatment known,

and she was constantly going on antibiotics
and nothing helped.

When she came to me,
I tested that root canal,

I saw the direct relationship
and told the mother.

And it was very hard because here
was 19yo girl and was a front tooth,

but I said, "In this case,

what really needs to be done
is to remove that tooth "

Well, they don't wanted to hear that
so they went to try other treatments.

Then about three months later,

still suffering from
chronic kidney problems,

and urinary and bladder problems,

she took the tooth out.
and that was the end of the problem.

I remember years ago
having a physician say:

"I can't buy into the concept of this

electricity going
through these meridians.

I never seen a meridian in
all the cadaver lives I've ever been in."

And I said, "Well,
when you can do an ECG on your cadaver,

I will be able to show you a meridian

because you can't find
it when the person's dead."

When doing an EEG,
ECG or electromyography,

we are looking at the electricity
going through the body

and this is completely mainstream.

Each tooth actually lies
on a different meridian

so those energy
pathways that we discussed,

they go through particular areas.

If we are looking at the wisdom teeth,

we're talking about the small
intestine and the heart.

As we move forward, on the
top, we find these molars,

then we're looking at breast and thyroid.

On this side we're looking at the pancreas

On this side we're looking at the spleen.

Then we move forward to the bicuspids,
and there are lung and the large intestine.

We goto the eye teeth and...
It's called an eyetooth for a reason,

because it's connected to your eyes,

as well connected to the
liver and to the gallbladder.

And then these four front
teeth, the top and bottom

are connected to the urinary
tract to the anal canal,

to the adrenals, the pituitary,

to your kidney and everything that's
related to the urinary tract.

I use a piece of equipment that was
originally called EAV -

electroacupuncture according to Voll.

I put electricity into the
body and gather data from there.

So When I'm testing the teeth,
the person holds a bar in their hand

and that bar is the collection point.

When they touch a tooth,
and put it into the circuitry.

and then I introduce,

by touching on a particular
acupuncture point,

I introduce electricity into the body

to see if it can go all the
way through that meridian.

And you start seeing where the
electricity is being blocked.

And now you start asking questions
about the person's health

and they go, "Wow!
How did you know that?

I didn't even tell you that
I was having problems there."

because when the electricity can't get
through, that compromises that meridian.

Many people have trouble getting
their mind around the fact that

their teeth are making them sick.

Let me just tell you
so, about a year ago...

DOCTOR IN MEDICINE, HOMEOPATHY

... we looked at the last 60
cancer patients that we'd seen

and 96% of them had an infected tooth

in the same power supply circuit
as their primary cancer. 96%!

You know this might sound
really fun to you but

but I always wanted to learn how to surf.

The sun, the spray...

and that feeling of conquering
a force beyond your control.

Maybe that is symbolic.

because after all my
trials and tribulations,

I still felt I just drawn
a bad lottery number

You know you're sick when, you can
miraculously, attract a gorgeous girl.

your'e punching way above your way and...

you can't get it up.

I know every guy will say this, but...

"It hasn't happened before."

Surprised to say,
she left pretty soon after.

How is this journey going to end?

Would I reach the top of the mountain,

conquering everything that came before me?

Would it be the death of me?

I obsessed over these
questions and everything else.

Even friends and family
they became less important.

"What's wrong with me?
You are so hypochondriac.!

"Why are you so lonely?"

"Toughen up yourself and get on with it."

"I think he has depression."

"Why is he so anxious?"

"It's all in his head."

I felt truely empty inside.

No body who has an abscess in
the body would suggest ignoring it.

The same with a dental abscess.

The problem is that they
are frequently asymptomatic.

Most people who come to see me
and who have root canals

turn out to be infected,
but theren't coming with a sore tooth

Nobody comes to see me with a sore tooth.

They come with arthritis, fatigue,

cancer, heart disease.

And it turns out when I get
a scan done of the root canal

that there is bone being absorbed because
of chronic infection to the tooth.

Conventional dentistry believes that
you should save the tooth at all costs,

and if the patient dies... well that
was the price for saving the tooth.

They don't really
come with the concept

that you should take things
that are dead out of the body.

It was shocking to me because
I had family members...

DENTIST SURGEON

who had root canal treated teeth,
and I had done root canals

because I was never taught to question

if residual infection was having
any kind of negative implication

on the overall health of the patient.

Probably the earliest research
on root canal treated teeth

that clearly demonstrated
how toxic they were all of the time

was the work of Dr. Weston Price.

Dr. Weston Price who did a 25 years
of research on root canals

and found that they could
cause almost anything

from mental disease to
heart disease to arthritis.

When Weston Price started
doing root canals on his patients,

he found that a lot of them getting sick,

so then he started doing research.

He'd take out the tooth,
he'd sterilize the tooth on the outside,

making sure that there
was nothing as far as bacteria,

slipped it under the skin of a rabbit

and found out that the rabbit had
any disease that the patient had.

Heart disease, Kidney disease,

arthritis,
neurological disease, you name it

It even more amazingly,
he took the same tooth

and successively put it under the
skin of 20, 30, 50 consecutive rabbits

and they all developed
the same medical syndrome

as the original person
who supplied that tooth.

So, there is a direct connection
between the pathogens of this dead teeth,

the galvanic currents between the
different metals in the mouth.

For example, I had a

patient with emphysema who
took steroids for over a year.

I found a strep
infection in the jaw bone

where he had a tooth
removed 15 years prior.

Once I got rid of the strep
infection in the jaw bone

his emphysema totally disappeared.

The mouth is a toxic waste dump
that's impacting on the rest of the body.

Now, Dr. Price was a dentist, and root
canals had become "posh"

Originally, if you were poor person

and if you couldn't afford dentistry,

then, your teeth would be taken out.

When someone had money and
went to the dentist,

and said: "You know I've just kind
of been neglecting or forgotten and

I want to know if there's a way
you can save my tooth

because if I open and laugh,
people will think I'm poor

because I don't have my teeth.

So, it was actually more patient driven
that dentistry started taxiderming teeth

to keep them in someone's mouth,

and then put a nice
shiny gold crown on there

so that when they laughed,
everybody thought they had money

because you saw these gold teeth now.

Unfortunately,
the dental schools look at the mouth

as being a mannequin,

and that you can do any type of procedure

without any direct impact
on the rest of the body.

But, this is farthest thing from the truth.

Data we've just recently got shows now

that the number one cause of heart attacks

is the root canal treated tooth.

Plain and simple. Not correlation.
Not linked. Cause and effect.

If you take a course through Bale & Doneen,

and they're the leaders in
cardiovascular prevention,

they will tell you, they will not condone
having a root canal in your mouth

because that bacteria
courses through your body

and that bacteria is known to
affect the cardiovascular disease.

My pet peeve as a cardiologist right now

is that so many family practitioners,

internal medicine practitioners,
cardiologists, my fellow cardiologists

see a patient that has a heart attack
and they find the cholesterol is ok,

lipids are ok,
there is no high blood pressure,

there's no risk factors and they might've
used these words with the patients

but they gonna tell you

they think: "That patient
just had bad luck"

Most of these things are not
genetic problems. You know?

This person in the first 25
or 50 years of life was ok!

Now they're not. This isn't your genes.

This is your body's toxic,
and if we can restore those things,

your can get your health
back and energy back

and you can have a fun life.

As I like to illustrate my speech,
So we gonna use this scenario:

I'm driving my car down the road and
I see that my oil light has come up.

I could get a hammer
and smash the oil light.

That would take care of the
problem, wouldn't it?

No, it wouldn't. Because this is a sign,
a symptom that something is going on.

What I like to do is look deeper down

and find the particular burden
or the root cause

And no pun intended because
most of the time it's a tooth problem.

And then the sun rose another day.

I walk to the bathroom as usual,

I ask myself that same question:

"What is wrong with me?"

And as usual,
I was on my way to yet another test.

Another healing modality.

Using a device called the Lecher antenna,

information from your blood is tested

against the variety of things
that can make people sick,

and the antenna swings,
if the answer is yes.

Is it emotional?

No.

Is it a parasite?

No.

Is it heavy metals?

No.

Is it dental?

Yes.

Is it an a mercury filling?

No.

Is it an infected canal?

You have an infected root canal.

Strange science aside,

this was the first time
that anyone told me

that my chronic fatigue
was because of a tooth.

It seemed bizarre,
until I really did some research.

BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY

My quest started with books.

The basic problem with the root canal

it is what I call a
fatally flawed procedure.

Fatally flawed in terms of the fact

that the reason of root canal is
that you come to the dentist in pain.

A tooth hurts.

You want to get rid of the pain, naturally.

The problem is in taking out the pain,

the dentist takes out the nerve, the pulp,

and the blood supply and
connected tissue.

Basically if you will the tooth

undergoes a process of taxidermy
while it is still in your mouth.

That tooth is dead.

There's no feeling in
it, so there's no pain.

But there is an abscess,
there's an infection there that's active.

and if you put probes in there and measure,

you will find biotoxins that are
most severest that exist in nature.

The wisdom poured in from podcasts,
YouTube, Skype, articles.

I digested everything I heard.

Root canal treated teeth
can be a silent type of infection.

I've taken out numerous
root canal treated teeth.

that looked completely fine on the X-ray,

and yet after we took that tooth
out and cleaned out that socket,

we would find a large
area of dead bone,

a cyst or even pus and infection in there.

Then I discovered the father
of biological dentistry,

Hal Huggins.

If you have rupture of the appendix...

VOICE OF DR. HAL HUGGINS

... will you fill it with wax
and put a golden crown on it?

You got the same bacteria there,

only the ones in the
mouth may be worse.

But the question is, do all root
canal teeth have to be removed?

The answer is no.

Only those of people who are
interested in your health.

But something didn't quite add up.

If the root canal treated teeth
were this much of a problem...

why wouldn't more people know about it?

WHY DENTISTS DON'T KNOW...

Above 95% of dentists have
an X-ray equipment in their office

which is only two-dimensional,

which means when they
take the x-ray from here,

they can only see the width
and height on the tooth.

They can't see depth and you might
take a picture of a root canal tooth

and it looks fine.

But if you do another kind of
X-ray, it's called a cone beam scan,

which is almost like a CATscan,

where you get a three-dimensional
view of the tooth

we very commonly find that these
root canal teeth are abscessed

and there's an abscess
sitting around the tooth

that isn't visible on a 2D X-ray.

During our training,

I had a patient on whom I
had taken a Conebeam on and

She was struggling with
some emotional problems,

chronic fatigue and a lot of other things.

We were reviewing her
conebeam with a technician,

not a biological dentist.
This is a technician from the company.

I said, "Let's just goto each one
of the root canal treated teeth

and flip this image and see
if we see any pathology."

And so as were flipping through

he said: "Wow! These are terrible.

there is a cyst here
and another cyst here. "

I see root canals all the
time that look great on X-ray,

but they do not test well

They're a real problem for the individual.

Every root canal tooth contains dead tissue

and dead tissue is haven for bacteria.

We analyzed 87 very well
done root canal treated teeth

many of them done by endodontists and
many more done by general dentists.

What we found that regardless of how
well the root canal was performed,

by far the vast majority had a
high degree of toxicity.

There was not one of the 87 were non-toxic.

The toxins are often the waste
material from the bacteria.

They can be also portions for example,

like the bacterial cell wall,

but often times they're the
waste material of bacteria.

One of the world's leading
authorities on biological toxins

it's Boyd Haley, from Univ. of Kentucky.

What Dr. Haley found and published
is that toxins from a root canal tooth

are equal in toxicity to the standard

by which all biological toxins
are measured, mainly hydrogen sulfide.

He also found that toxins
from a root canal tooth

are equivalent in toxicity to botulism,

one of the worst known poisonings.

All root canals are infected,
without any exception.

There was a big study done

by the American Society of
Holistic Dentistry. Very officially

they tested 30,000 root canals extracted

for years and they were all infected

without any exception.

There used to be a laboratory
at University of Kentucky called

Affinity Labeling Technologies.

It was a laboratory from
Dr. Boyd Haley who is

the chairman of the
department of chemistry there.

He setup a lab test where you could stick a

cotton
sort of a hard cotton thing

under the tooth that
you suspected as being bad

and shoved it underneath the
gum, pulled it out,

and you'd have a sample of the fluid

those samples would go to the lab

and what they would do is a
bioessay, defined

what is the toxic material coming
from the root of the tooth.

This lab doesn't exist anymore,

but I have an old report from a patient

this was the patient
with chronic fatigue.

He came to me and when I examined him,

I thought, "I think your problem
is a toxic root canal tooth.

Go to the dentist, have this test done. "

He went ahead and had test done.
and these are the results.

The test now, what the test
looks at is these are six enzymes

which are part of what
we call the Krebs cycle.

These are the energy
producing part of the cell.

these enzymes are able to
take up a sugar molecule

and get the energy out of it.

If these enzymes are blocked,
then that cell cannot make energy

and what biotoxins do is
block these enzymes from working.

So, what they did is took
the stuff from the tooth

the bad tooth and the good tooth,

and they incubated them with these enzymes

and they have a measurement system

where they say how bad
was that enzyme blocked.

In this particular patient,
the average was 93% inhibition,

which is blocking of that enzyme.

And by coordinating with
dentists around the country,

over 5,000 extracted
root canal treated teeth

were submitted to Dr. Haley for testing.

100% of them were toxic.

And just to make sure

that this was'nt something they had
to do with the tooth of the mouth,

they also submitted some teeth that were
extracted for orthodontic purposes,

in other words, normal teeth

that let the other teeth grow in.

None of these teeth inhibited
any of these enzyme.

HIGH RISK PATHOGENS

That was the finally the smoking gun.
That was the cause and the effect,

that the root canal simply cannot
be sterilized inside the mouth.

It cannot be

put into a situation where the infection
inside the root canal can be resolved.

And it's not sensed locally

because the tooth when you root canal
it is disconnected from the nerve

so that it has and has no more sensitivity.

That is why the patient can't
feel the toxic effect.

You can't feel the death.

One of the amazing things is
when people come into the office

and I say, "I'm gonna tell
you what's going on with you:

insomnia,
you have trouble with your memory,

stress, you can't deal with stimulus,"

and I go down this list.

They often start crying because
Usually I'am the first physician

who has described them,
without them telling me,

what's going on with their life.

Because all the other
physicians they've seen

they say: "Oh,
that's all in your mind.

here, take these antidepressants
and you will be fine. "

The root canal specialists
wanna protect their procedure.

Ok, so they are going to try to
reassure people as much as possible.

I don't know what their intent is,

I don't mean to say they are not interested

for the health and
wealth of their patients.

But, they truly believe that the
root canal procedure is fine,

it does a good job,

and they don't believe that
it’s chronically infected.

But the scientific evidence
takes this out of belief range. ok

Belief has nothing to do with it

Science shows that a root
canal is always infected

and the only difference is
some are a little bit more toxic

and are more infected than the others.

When I was a boy,
I used to run to his office.

The guys like to kid me.

"Running to the dentist?"

But he was an some dentist.

His name was Dr. Brann.

He always let me come
five minutes early

so I can see his lab.

He let me touch things and
told me about them.

I used to get so excited.

He would pat my head and say, "Fine Fine.."

Only he never told me how
hard it was to become one!

When I was older I learned,

He went to college for eight years,

and had to study dozens of subjects,

not just dentistal ones, but physiology and
anatomy and bacteriology.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

OUR FRIEND, THE DENTIST

THE VALUE OF A SMILE

I found that in the America,

about 25 million new root canal
procedures are done each year.

While this did alarm me

what it really made me wonder was:

"Why me?"

Why didn't all these people have
root canal problems like I did?

So often times I am asked:

"Why does a root canal have a
systemic health impact on one person

and maybe not on another?

The reason is:

we are all susceptible to
toxicities in different ranges.

As you know, there are some people
can tolerate cigaratte smoking

for example 60 or 70 years and have no
apparent ill affects and yet,

there are people who smoke for a year
or two and develop a carcinoma.

Every one processes toxins differently

and some patients are able to
handle a root canal treated tooth

and their immune system
isn't overloaded by that.

Yet there are other patients
we find who just one root canal

has the dramatic affect
on their immune system

The practice that I have is
a very selected practice.

Most of the people I see have
chronic serious illnesses.

Probably in the general population,

these aren't diagnosed

because the guy who's seeing the patient
for high blood pressure,

for chronic back pain,
is not associating it

and he's not testing could this
be a dental issue that's referred.

It is very important that
dentistry and medicine get together.

It is important that
physicians are as aware

of the importance of the mouth
as it is for dentists to realise that

some of the procedures that
he/she does in the mouth

severely and strongly and impacts
the health of the body.

A perfect example: we have a
patient was referred to us

was stage four throat cancer ..

The bottom line was,
he had two root canal teeth.

X-rays looked pristine.

and a thousand of dentists who had viewed

them would say these are absolutely normal.

The pathogens that were in
these two root canal teeth

were in his throat,
exactly where the cancer was.

I extracted the two teeth and
ozonated the jawbone,

homeopathics and ionic silver.

In three weeks,

the stage four throat cancer
was totally resolved,

documented with PETscans,
blood test and visual.

This is the impact of a
toxic root canal teeth.

There was one relation study
between diseases and root canals,

published in a very perstigeous oncology
news paper in the United States,

which showed that 90%
of all the prostate cancers

contained it's tissue
the carcenogenic bacteria

which come from the root canal.

I felt bad because
I had done a lot of those.

and I actually thought at one point

that's what I wanted to do
for the rest of my life.

I thought, "How can this be?"

This is something that has
been going on for so long.

There is a whole speciality around it

But whenever colleagues
started presenting me

different pieces of research,

I obviously came to the conclusion

I didn't wanted to do root canal
treatment anymore personally.

I could not confidently say that I was
not doing harm in some situations.

The bottom line is,
when you do a root canal,

it cuts the flow of energy to these
different organs and can affect them.

You can't get rid of an infection
unless you have a viable immune system

with complete access to
all the parts that are infected

and this is uniformly eliminated
when a root canal is done.

The analogy that I like to use:

in my office there's a sliding door.

You are on one side of the
door with the door closed.

You have christmas lights in your hand

you want to know if all
the lights light up.

I'm on the other side of the sliding door

and I have an extension cord plugged
in, ready to go,

but you and I are hitting the door

We can't connect. There's no way.

If someone comes by and
starts sanding on the door,

how much of the door has to be
gone before you and I can connect?

Not a thin piece of balsa wood.
All of it.

Once all of the door is removed,

you and I are able to make a connection.

Just like the body does.

It totally reconnects
and electricity goes through.

After everything that I uncovered,
I knew my teeth had to come out.

I saw a biological dentist

and the first thing he spotted was:

"Looks like you have a trauma
to your front tooth?"

Yep. That punch in the mouth

why was I such a sucker for
that damsel in distress?

Let's have a look at the X-ray here.

And all this discoloration
here is where the infection is.

It is a deep pocket infection on top

that's what is causing your health issues.

So, were gonna extract the root canal tooth

and with the dental barb drill

we gonna remove the periodontal
ligament down to the bone

and we will give you a new
tooth, a zirconia tooth

that will bridge to the either side.

In the next three four months,
this will heal up nicely

and you will notice a dramatic
increase in your energy levels.

-Yes. -Any question?

No.

Alright. Let's do this.

Now, I don't want you to think
as soon as you get your tooth out,

you will wake up with boundless energy.

The damage has been done.

You have to heal yourself

and go through a detox:
liver cleanse,

kidney cleanse, colon cleanse

Intense journey.

But, gradually you start to
feel your health returning.

Now It's important obviously
if you have a root canal,

and you're convinced of the
information I'm talking about

and the science behind it

you want to get it out of your body,

you want it to have it stop negatively
impacting your health.

Well, you need to find a dentist
who knows what he's doing

because it involves more
than a simple extraction.

Removing the root canal tooth
is only the first step in the solution.

afterwards, you have to drain
the area from the bacteria

because the jaw bones,
they're are not like stones.

They are spongy bones

where bacteria and toxins
go into these bones

this has to be drained and treated.

And, this is where I also find
ozone gas so indispensable

Because, you can just punch
with a very thin needle

go into the area and you inject ozone gas.

That gas will go off into all areas
off this main tunnel,

in all the areas we have infection.

It's really interesting

because I had a people
where I've injected down here

and they've feel the gas travel all
the way over to the other side,

and they've feel it travel
all way up under the the eye.

There's no way you are going to do a
surgery & cleanup a whole persons jawbone.

And it's interesting how this
treatment goes on with the gas

they feel that that area were
it's going off into shrinking

This jaw bone area has a
very dense nerve network.

These nerves don't relay. You know

It is not like here goes to the spinal
cord, and goes to somewhere else.

These nerves go right to
the middle of the brain

where the regulation of
the nervous system occurs.

They are called cranial nerves.

These cranial nerve is the
biggest one in the body

and it goes right into there. This is
a very delicate and protected area.

So if someone has a
chronic smouldering infection

with biotoxin in this area,
it can affect their brain,

the regulation of brain,
the energy and lots of other things.

For example, we had a woman
with Hashimoto's disease,

an autoimmune problem,
which is coming in a cytomegalovirus

from the third molar
extraction site in a jawbone,

plus nickel ions from an
orthodontic retaining wire.

Once those two substances were removed
from the thyroid and the sources,

the Hashimoto's totally disappeared.

Autoimmune problems
are there for a reason.

The body does'nt attack
itself for no reason.

There is something there that
is causing that reaction.

The doctor has to be alert to discuss
If he wants a cure,

especially with cancer,
you got to address these.

They are big stressors on the body
and they take a lot of immune attention.

If the immune system's like:

"Don't let toxins get into
the brain and kill me,"

it is letting the cancer cells

go here or in the
prostate or in the colon.

You know, the big ones.

Or in the lungs.
These are the four big cancers.

Your chances of getting cancer
is significantly increased

and this is just spreading out of the
ignorance of the so-called specialists

who dont want to accept this fact,

even though it is
absolutely clearly proven.

So, in doing testing of the bacteria

we found that there are in root
canals, 53 different bacteria.

28 of them are directly
involved with the health of the heart,

that are known from the
scientific literature

to create certain heart conditions.

Some of them specialize in
attacking the heart valve.

Many of them cause what's
called endocarditis,

an inflammation of the
vessels inside the heart.

And we now have studies from the

Journal of the American
Dental Association

that show that when you have
one or more root canals in your mouth,

statistically speaking, you have a
greater chance of a heart attack,

plain and simple.

We know with increasing evidence that
the cause of coronary artery disease

it is the inflammation of the endothelium,
the lining of the blood vessel valve.

What we need to do in medicine

is workout what is inflaming
the valve or the artery

because ultimately what the body is

the body tries to seal
off the inflammation

the body uses cholesterol it uses
calcium to seal off that inflammation

You're getting what's called a plaque,

the same plaques you get on your teeth,

which is, a bacteria covered by a biofilm,

then covered by a layer of calcium.

This is that exactly what we're seeing
in the coronary arteries.

The trick is not to try
to get rid of cholesterol,

which is going there,
that has been put there by the body,

to protect us against the inflammation.

The trick is to try and work out what is
the causing the underlying inflammation.

A dental infection is a big part of that

because of the sealing of the
bacteria from the mouth

straight into the bloodstream
there to the coronary arteries.

This is the process that
can occur to a person,

and it can be undone, if observed by
a doctor who knows what they're doing.

We do a test for all
these organic toxins

where we can see if the body,
so to say, impregnated

by these toxins which come from root canal.

We can measure these
toxins, called xenoharmones,

carcinogenic substances
which are organic molecules

Once we have the basic
toxic source removed from the patient,

then things like infrared sauna is good.

You will sweat.

There's nutritional agents
that we can give you

then we can tease these things
out of you and get them out.

Then our basic program is we find
out what nutrients they're missing

and we give'em back to them.

Some of it's oral supplements,
some of it's done intravenously

we do I V vitamin C.

We use pulsed magnetic field because there
are cells that do'nt make energy.

Those cells don't have energy and
their membrane around the cell

can't control very well
what goes in and out.

If we put them in an environment, where
there's a gentle magnetic pulse field,

it recharges that cell membrane,

and now that cell can detoxify itself.

In over three to six months,
sometimes a bit little longer,

we can get these things out,

we can get your levels
down to where they're safer

and then it can help
you restore your health.

I was starting to feel great

so I went to the EAV machine operator
to make sure my energy flow was on track.

But something was off.

I found out I had another blockage.

This time, in one of my wisdom teeth.

I dug deeper and got a Conebeam scan.

I was told it was a cavitation,
something else you really dont want.

Just my luck!

I had to get that sorted out now as well

Step 1 was finding
out what a cavitation is.

Cavitations are basically
residual infections in the jawbone,

which result from the
extraction of a teeth.

If the extraction site is not
meticulously curated and cleansed,

the bacteria just
infiltrate into that wound

and live there for the rest
of the life of the patient.

Every bone in your body is
connected to another bone

by way of a ligament.
Your tooth is connected to your jawbone

by way of what we call a
periodontal ligament.

If a tooth is properly pulled
when the tooth is out,

the dentist will also
take out that ligament.

If that ligament is gone,
that bone will heal in so that

there's full bone and you
have a restored jaw bone

But if the doctor pulls that tooth
and doesn't take out that ligament,

that space where that tooth was may
seal over on the top and be a cavity.

That periodontal ligament
staying in the socket,

it prevents communication

from the body being able to
send osteoblasts and osteoclasts

to that extraction site and
fill in with healthy bone.

It becomes a barrier.

And it will be a place where that the body
then will use as a storage depo for junk -

toxic junk, bacteria, funguses -

and it won't hurt. It may not
be completely visible on a regular X-ray,

but it's sitting there.

So the periodontal
ligament prevents healing.

In one actual study on 5,000 cavitations

left after wisdom teeth were removed,

4,999 had not healed.

Only one of the 5,000
had healed.

Majority of people in the United States

and in developed countries around the world

that have extracted teeth for any
reason also have cavitations

and what's inside that
hole is noting different -

and it sounds disgusting and it
sounds like an exaggeration but it’s not -

it's the same as wet infectious gangrene.

These cavitations in the jawbone

can create significant diseases,

significant neurological diseases,
like for example, sclerosis.

But that cavitation can
occur from different things.

For instance a person can
have a clotting disease

or they could have had a football injury

something that the bone not be
healthy in a particular area.

The most common reason
is that the tooth was removed

and the periodontal
ligament was not taken out,

and therefore,
that void where the tooth was

never did fillin appropriate
with a healthy bone.

The second most common reason is that
the bacteria that's in a root canal tooth

will find a microfracture through
that particular root surface

and kind of worm hole through
the bone and create a void

and so, it's not uncommon for a
cavitation to occur next to a root canal.

The most common spots are the wisdom teeth.

The wisdom teeth are unique in that
there are four circuits going through

instead of just two -

it's heart, small intestine

and the sympathetic and
parasympathetic systems.

And so you see people who's
adrenal glands aren't working

and it's because they have infection where
the wisdom teeth were taken out.

Because you can have
infections in the bone where

wisdom teeth were taken off for 50 years,

and essentially have no pain there,
but it completely destroys your life.

When you don't have enough adrenaline,
you have trouble going to sleep.

and then you have trouble
dealing with stress.

Then it gets to where you
can't stand any stimulus

so you don't like loud music,
you don't like loud noises,

you can't be around a rowdy crowd,

you can't be around people who're arguing.

Now what I just described is a
person who's lives in a toilet.

For instance,
I myself had my wisdom teeth out

when I was in dental school.

But, thirty years later,
I developed a heart arrhythmia

and nothing seemed to help,

I take vitamins in,

I tried homeopathics,
but nothing was doing help.

Then, suddenly, I said:

"Wait a minute,
let me check see if I have any cavitation?"

That wisdom tooth,
which is on the heart meridian,

you see was causing problem.

If you can get a good normal 3D conebeam
x-ray of your jawbone,

then you do have a much higher reassurance

that you don't have this cavitation process

going on inside the jawbone as well.

And, if the dentist unroofs that
and scoops the stuff out,

and then removes that
ligament and then that heals,

that patient can get well.

One of the questions that we get is:

"Are there things that I can
do prior to my procedure

to increase my ability to heal properly

from a surgical procedure
like a cavitation

or from a root canal removal."

One of the biggest things that you can do

is to have an proper nutrition,
eating a clean diet,

getting enough proteins and
vitamins and minerals.

When that tooth comes out,

you want to make sure that
the socket is cleaned out really well.

You want to remove the
periodontal ligament.

If there is an infection,
you want to get rid of the infection,

and then you let it heal.

I like to let the body to fill
it in with it's own natural bone.

You have to wait least
three months for that.

You want to check it and
make sure that it did heal,

that you don't have no cavitation.

Let's say it's healed.
How do you replace the tooth?

Well, you have different options.

First one option is you don't replace it,
you leave it alone.

Another option is you can
use something removable,

which most people do'nt like it
because it's not very comfortable.

The other option is you
could put a bridge in,

bridging that space.

There are two types of bridges.

The traditional bridge, which I don't like,

is where you have to mutilate
the teeth on either side of that space

to hold the missing tooth.
And the problem with that is,

when you mutilate those teeth,

you increase the odds of those teeth
can need root canal in the future.

So I prefer to use a bonded type bridge,

where the abutment teeth,
as they are called, or the supporting teeth

have minimal preparation and
that holds the missing tooth.

The only downside with that really
is that it periodically will come loose

and need to be recemented.

But, of course, the best option is to take
really good care of your teeth and gums

with a comprehensive dental program
so you never need a root canal,

but let's say that hasn't

happened like me
and a lot of other people I know,

let's say there was a trauma involved
and you didn't get an option.

You can't really walk around
with no front teeth.

It is not very good for business.

Am I gonna have some sort of bridge?
Am I gonna have some sort of implant?

An implant is where
you're going into the bone

and you're placing what traditionally
has been a titanium implant.

Today, we have also ceramic implants.

The advantages and disadvantages,

well, with titanium, the problem is that
you are putting a metal into the bone.

Titanium itself is known as a hapten.

It means the ions in the titanium
itself can trigger autoimmune.

If you are genetically predisposed to
something like Hashimoto's thyroiditis,

celiac, scleroderma, lupus,

or rheumatoid arthritis,
it might get turned on

and even if the implant is removed,
the trigger is already been pulled.

so now you got problems
that you didn't have.

Plus, I got metal that is directly
going into my meridian system.

It's like sticking a spoon
in an electric socket

and bending it around and
sticking it into the bottom part.

and it shortens out the whole meridian.

What we are finding is that many physicans
that are refering their patients here

and also patients that are
doing their own research

are desiring to have no
metal in their mouth.

They want to eliminate anything
that could create a current.

And that's why we now
have zirconia implants

it's more like a ceramic

It's a complete non-metal implant, that
looks the same as a titanium implant but

functions the same but it's

considered much more biocompatible
for the tissue and for the patient.

And it interferes with the body
much much less than titanium implants.

I do not say that zirconia
implants are 100% good,

but they are much better
tolerable to the body

than titanium implants are.

So, good medicine would include this
and that is what we want to do.

We want the best medicine.

We want to give people things that don't
hurt them more than they help them.

root canals are probably
one of the most pernicious,

toxic, hidden influences on your health and

if you're struggling to
understand why you're so sick

and you have multiple root canals,

please examine that issue.

I don't want you to think I
have my head in the clouds

by saying that the only
reason I got chronic fatigue

was because I had a root canal.

My searchs led me to believe

that all chronic diseases
are because of toxic overload.

These toxins come in various forms

from a simplest toxic junk food to
environmental toxins to toxic emotions.

We are all now learning
about the toxic effects

of electromagnetic frequencies as well

and we also can't rule out pathogens.

What I can say is that until I stop
the soure of my toxic root canal,

by having it removed,
I could never get better,

no matter what I tried.

It really was the biggest
piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

The root cause, so to speak.

So, your dentist says that
you need a root canal.

Apart from running for the door,
what are your options?

Firstly, if the tooth needs to be removed,

make sure you see a holistic dentist,

while you can remove the infection
and the periodontal ligament properly.

Then once the tooth is removed
and the mouth has healed,

you have three good options.

Your first option is to get
a bonded ceramic bridge.

Your second option is to
get a zirconia implant.

And, 99% of dentists will
recommend a titanium implant,

but it’s just as bad as the root canal.

So make sure your implant is zirconia.

Your third option is a
good old fashioned denture.

Keep smiling!

I've been reading this book about Gandhi.

He didn't have a lot of
tooth problems like me.

rumor was, he had dentures
that he slipped in and out every night.

But his words were as
beautiful as his smile.

He said that even if only
you are in minority of 1,

the truth is still the truth.

Probably somewhere in the neighborhood
of 80% or 90% of people are sick

atleast in part if not totally
by an infected tooth.

This couldn't be a miracle for a patient.

It could be a life saving on a patient.
I've got tons of patients

where this was really their problem
and when we addressed this,

then they were actually able to get better.

My mentor. Dr. Hal Huggins,
told me 20 years ago:

"You can't dry off while
you're still in the shower."

It is a simple but profound statement.
You can't resolve a problem

if what causes the problem
is continuing to shower in

while you're trying to
resolve the situation.

In today's medicine and dentistry

we have two important things
being done to our body,

but neither field interacts with other.

If doctors did more of this,
we could actually help a lot more people,

get a lot more people better

and do what our profession
is supposed to do:

which is help the people heal up.

1 in 2 of us are dying of heart disease

One in two of us are dying of cancer.

We better have a strategy for both.

Make sure you take really good
care of your oral hygiene.

and have a program in place

to make sure you minimize the amount of
pathogenic organisms in our mouths, leaking

into our bloodstream.

There is another great quote:

"A new knowledge is never
immediately adopted

rather the old knowledge dies out
and the new takes it's place. "

So, to each of you who hear this,

know that the challenge of whether
this truth reaches the world

is upto you.

Currently, we have roughly 25 million
new root canal procedures

being done a year in the United States.

One of the greatest public
health interventions

that we could possibly do around the world

is to make it very clear the important role

that dental infections and toxins have

and hopefully someday to make
the root canal procedures

something of the past
because it does nothing positive

for the general health of the body at all.

I'm just one guy and this is my truth.

This truth set me free.

I feel that freedom
every day when I wake up.

It is in my joy, my sorrow

my friendships.

Oh, and in case you wonder if
I can get it up...

There's no problem there.

I got my life back...

so I didn't want my
truth to just be a minority of one.

I'm a filmmaker and the
journey I had been on was epic!

So maybe it was meant
to happen to me afterall
