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 />
