ecovery from pesticide poisoning all became important elements<br />

of Dr. Speckhart's treatment pro<strong>to</strong>cols. His 80% success rate for<br />

cancer patient recovery pointed out the importance of biological<br />

dentistry as a key <strong>to</strong> survival and recovery.<br />

Dr. Boyd Haley, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry at the<br />

University of Kentucky became a pioneer in the measurement of<br />

the <strong>to</strong>xicity of biopsied teeth and jawbone material. Dr. Haley<br />

asserted that all root canal treated teeth are infected <strong>to</strong> some<br />

extent and that most of them test as being <strong>to</strong>xic or even<br />

"extremely <strong>to</strong>xic." Dr. Haley also developed the TOPAS and the<br />

Hali<strong>to</strong>x test as a quick chair-side test for the dentist <strong>to</strong> use <strong>to</strong><br />

determine the degree of bacterial and protein <strong>to</strong>xicity in the fluid<br />

sample taken from root canal treated teeth or next <strong>to</strong> infected,<br />

dying teeth. Dr. Haley's lab tests on jawbone biopsies also have<br />

revealed that the material in the dead-bone areas of jawbone<br />

cavitations always "contain <strong>to</strong>xic material."<br />

Dr. Boyd Haley, Dr. Vincent Speckhart, and the others have<br />

contributed <strong>to</strong> changing patient‟s health <strong>by</strong> changing the practice<br />

of dentistry. All of these professionals have added <strong>to</strong> my ability<br />

<strong>to</strong> protect my patient‟s health and improve their recovery from<br />

illnesses. This book describes my own views and what I regard<br />

as best dental practices. These principles, and the patient<br />

s<strong>to</strong>ries that illustrate them, are interwoven with the teachings<br />

and the important influences from my entire career.<br />

I believe that ALL health professional schools need a course in<br />

dental health, detailing the effect of the oral cavity on the entire<br />

health of the patient. Having a good understanding of the farreaching<br />

influence of metals, incompatible composites, denture<br />

plastics, root canals and jawbone infections/cavitations would<br />

save millions of dollars in health care costs.<br />

<strong>Dentist</strong>ry makes a difference.<br />
