dead <strong>to</strong>oth. The options are only two 1) extract the <strong>to</strong>oth or 2)<br />
“save” the <strong>to</strong>oth <strong>by</strong> cleaning out all of the soft inside parts – the<br />
pulp chamber and the root canals (not missing any of them),<br />
sterilizing it thoroughly, and filling the pulp chamber and all root<br />
canals with some anti-microbial milling materials <strong>to</strong> try <strong>to</strong> keep<br />
the <strong>to</strong>oth sterile and infection-free forever. This latter procedure<br />
is called “root canal treatment” of the <strong>to</strong>oth and, somewhat<br />
confusingly, a <strong>to</strong>oth that has been so treated is called a “root<br />
canal.” It would be more correct <strong>to</strong> call it a “root canalled<br />
<strong>to</strong>oth,” or, even better, a “root canal treated <strong>to</strong>oth.”<br />
But the root canal treated <strong>to</strong>oth may not be trouble-free<br />
forever. Even if the <strong>to</strong>oth is pretty well sterilized at root canal<br />
treatment time, they tend <strong>to</strong> become infected, over time. Those<br />
infections often become extremely <strong>to</strong>xic, with a predominance of<br />
anaerobic bacteria (the extremely <strong>to</strong>xic ones that thrive in the<br />
absence of oxygen) and fungi. Tests done at ALT, Inc. show that<br />
about 25% of the root canalled teeth tested there are “extremely<br />
<strong>to</strong>xic,” another 50% of root canalled teeth tested are “<strong>to</strong>xic.”<br />
Only about 25% of them are tested as “not very <strong>to</strong>xic.” So, the<br />
odds are not very good that life with a root canal treated <strong>to</strong>oth<br />
will be trouble free; and the more of these treated teeth that you<br />
have, the greater the likelihood that some of them will be <strong>to</strong>xic<br />
or extremely <strong>to</strong>xic; such <strong>to</strong>xic teeth may give you symp<strong>to</strong>ms in a<br />
remote part of your body – but probably on the <strong>to</strong>oth‟s meridian<br />
– such as heart disease, breast cancer or some other cancer,<br />
arthritic symp<strong>to</strong>ms, etc. An examining physician is unlikely <strong>to</strong><br />
use CEDS or any other <strong>to</strong>ol <strong>to</strong> link a root canal treated <strong>to</strong>oth or<br />
teeth <strong>to</strong> the chronic health condition that is bringing the patient<br />
in<strong>to</strong> the clinic.<br />
More locally, the <strong>to</strong>xic root canal <strong>to</strong>oth may well produce an<br />
abscess next <strong>to</strong> its root or roots and also jawbone infection,<br />
which may add <strong>to</strong> the symp<strong>to</strong>ms and health problems that<br />
conventional medicine often, has such a hard time finding the<br />
cause of a health problem. Like <strong>to</strong>xic, infected root canal treated<br />
teeth, jawbone cavitations may cause pain and perhaps chronic<br />
illness for a long time before the real cause is discovered – if it<br />
ever is discovered.<br />
