Remember the case of Nick‟s big <strong>to</strong>e? Nick‟s painful big <strong>to</strong>e was<br />

caused <strong>by</strong> an infection in the jaw, where forty-five years earlier a<br />

lower left first molar had been pulled. The problem was solved<br />

when CEDS found the infection. Removing this infection<br />

immediately s<strong>to</strong>pped the <strong>to</strong>e pain. Symp<strong>to</strong>ms are not always an<br />

immediate effect; the cause and the resulting symp<strong>to</strong>m can be<br />

from minutes apart <strong>to</strong> even years apart.<br />

Patients may exhibit a variety of symp<strong>to</strong>ms, all arising from<br />

the same problem in the oral cavity. Here are some good<br />

examples of <strong>to</strong>xic causes that produce varied effects: mercury<br />

silver amalgams, dental gold res<strong>to</strong>rations, metal appliances <strong>to</strong><br />

replace teeth, <strong>to</strong>xic plastics for dentures, and infection in teeth<br />

and in the jawbone.<br />

As more patients demand CEDS testing, this procedure will<br />

find its way in<strong>to</strong> all dental and medical schools, stimulating a<br />

deeper awareness of the association of the oral cavity with<br />

sickness and pain.<br />
