To start off there are no magic 'cures', no pill you can swallow or supplement that you can take that will reverse long term chronic disease. There are however causes, which are completely overlooked by modern medicine. By removing the causes, the body can recover, or at least the disease process can be halted. Well dentistry is a massive cause of chronic disease for a variety of reasons.
- Metal allergy. Crowns with palladium, amalgams which contain tin, copper, silver, mercury etc. If you have these metals in your mouth you will swallow the metal ions, they will pass through your GI track and bind to your cells. For people with an allergy your body will attack and destroy these cells, causing an auto immune disease. Mainstream medicine will give you drugs to turn off the immune system, whilst leaving the cause in place, it's insane.

- Metal toxicity. Amalgam (or silver fillings) are 50% mercury, a straight up poison. Mercury leaks from these fillings for the entire life time of them.

- Root canals. A root canal is a dead tooth. All dead teeth whether root treated or not undergo and internal necrosis, with anaerobic bacteria growing. The hard part of the tooth is called dentine, it's not solid but instead is a completely porous material. Under an electron microscope it looks like this: https://www.anatomicum.com/files/images/modified/fullsize/185.jpg There is no scientific paper, or technique that can fully sterilize this structure, or stop the bacteria from growing inside this part of the tooth. Dead or root treated teeth can cause serious chronic disease in the body. Anaerobic bacteria will only grow in the absence of oxygen, but their metabolic waste are in the order of 1000 times more deadly aerobic bacteria. That's why such a small infection can cause such a proportionate amount of problems.

- Caviations. Really cavitational osteonecrosis. When a tooth gets a cavity it can eat a hole through the tooth. Well a very similar process can happen in the bone itself. It's usually caused by an abscess. An abscess in a bone will usually kill the bone because the pressure has no where to go, so it'll end up strangulating the blood supply to the tissue, killing it. Then disease process starts. The only cure for this is surgery to remove the necrotic/infected bone. Cavitations can cause serious disease. They can also be caused by tooth extractions if the socket is not surgically cleaned. This is surprisingly common. The bone just never fully heals internally leaving a 'cavitation' or void where anaerobic bacteria will grow. Sometimes visible on x-ray, sometimes not.

- Implants. Natural teeth aren't attached directly to the bone, they sit in a membrane of ligaments which cushion the bone. These ligaments also act as a bacteria seal. Well implants don't have this, they create a window from the outside world directly into your bone, where bacteria from the mouth can end up in your blood stream. Infection and bone loss around implants is so common they invented a new world for it, periimplantitis.
So what went wrong with me? And how did I get better? Well I had severe chronic fatigue to the point I couldn't function at all. Long story short it was caused by an infection around a wisdom tooth that had grown horizontally and caused an abscess. I had the tooth removed but the problem remained. I had a cavitation. I had surgery to open up the area remove the infected bone then I was able to get better. Unfortunately cavitations don't exist to mainstream dentists so there are only a few specialists that understand the problem and will do the surgery.
That's it, hope someone finds this useful. Sorry for the wall of text :-)
The basic knowledge to not trust most Doctors but to get to the source of the problem rather than just treat the symptom is vital! Please consider posting this to c/christianity, health, and positive ...
Congratulations on your success :)
There is a documentary made in 2019 called Root Cause that discusses this very topic!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7851798/
Don't mind the low imdb score, it is a great documentary.
Glad you are feeling better OP, and glad I had a tooth pulled instead of getting a root canal years ago.
My recovery story is actually pretty similar to the guy in the movie. In the movie they recommend removing root canals and replacing with implants. Personally I would never go down the implant root. They too can cause serious problems. Infection around implants is common. But otherwise the documentary was good.
How's your health? Some people seem to tolerate an insane amount of dead/root canal teeth, whilst other people like me fall over and die ;p
Great info, thx for sharing.
Funny story, well I guess not that funny.
I had chronic antibiotic resistant staph infections in my sinuses that wouldn't go away, as well as jaw issues. I went to a cavitation dentist thinking that might be the issue, and he wanted to sell me $6000 surgery, even though my 3D jaw scan showed I had a tooth in my sinus cavity.
It took me nearly 10 months to get multiple opinions, and to finally find a surgeon who would remove the tooth in my sinus cavity. Within a month of surgery to have the tooth removed from my sinus cavity I was able to clear the antibiotic resistant infections finally.
I guess my point is cavitations are real, and they can fuck up your health, but some of these cavitations dentists see everything as a nail and believe their solution is the hammer. If you can clearly see on a scan you have a cavitation, then yes get it cleared out. My buddy had cavitations and they found parasite eggs in the cavitation. He absolutely needed the surgery. In my case, I didn't have cavitations, I just had a tooth in my sinus cavity.
Make sure to get multiple opinions.
Yes. Gold leaf fillings actually predated amalgam, although you can imagine it wasn't a cheap option.
There is an E number for edible gold. It's extremely safe in the body as it doesn't really react with anything. Gold crowns are a slightly different story. Gold is a soft metal so they usually alloy it with other metals. If you have an allergy to other metals it might cause you an issue.
Gold doesn't tarnish. It's inert.
The worst that will happen if you eat gold is your poo might glitter lol.
It's the noble gas of solids and is very resistant to acidity. So yes.
I believe the word that eluded you was detriment :)
My father is 85 and a retired dentist, I'll ask him if he knows about this. However I will say that in the 90s and 2000s, one of his jobs was to acclimate recent graduates to the clinic and show them around. This was a clinic for the military, so it was staffed with contractors and service members. I remember he used to complain that each year's graduates were worse than the last, he would have to show them basic things they should have learned in school. For reference, he graduated in the 1950s, and retired not long ago.
This observation has always stuck with me, which is why I don't see young practitioners. Not only do they not know, they are ignorant of their ignorance while simultaneously dismissive and proud.
Cavitations have a bunch of names. NICO, cavitational osteonecrosis, ratner bone lesion. NICO is a bad name, the first part stands for neuralgia inducing, which the vast majority of lesions are. They are usually silent and painless. Anyway he might know one of them.
This makes so much sense!! I never thought much about fillings other than the old metals ones that were placed into my mouth some 20+ years ago are still there, whereas the newer ones are crap and keep falling out costing me tons of money to get replaced each year. However, one of my root canals was supposed to get a crown but couldn't afford it at the time. Fast forward a decade plus and the tooth crumbles, but the metal filling remains. After a few years of trying to rebuild the tooth with a filling, my dentist tells me to get a implant done.
A little back story - I have hypothyroidism/Hashimoto. Up until and even now, I have been taking synthetic hormones (unfortunately, where I am at I cannot get the dessicated bovine thyroid or other animal thyroid instead) and was at a good level. My TSH was at about 3.5 (the very good range), even lost some weight, good sleep, energy during the day, etc. A few months ago, I ended up going to get the remaining portion of my tooth removed, aka the filling and root, and it takes forever. The dental surgeon fought hard, drilling into it, breaking pieces, etc. Finally gets it out, does the bone graft, sews my jaw up, and adios until it heals and I am back to install the post.
Not even a month later, I start getting tired, fog brain, I get irritable easily, gain 10lbs like it was nothing, become super emotional. You name it. I go to see my doctor who runs a full blood panel, and lo and behold, of a the test results my TSH is through the roof. 11.45!! The normal range should be 3.0 - 5.5.
Thanks for your post. I have a lot to look into and research.
I will say, of course, treat the cause not the disease. Alkalize your body/mouth. Coconut oil. Brush/floss/mouthrinse. Can use calcium / phosphate toothpastes like MI paste, be aware of how loaded everything is with sugar, etc.
But once you get decay in the bone your tooth, I feel it should be a case-by-case basis to recommend just extracting the tooth, vs getting a root canal or implant.
Dentists aren't taught jawbone cavitations exist. Even though they exist in the medical literature. They don't know how to diagnose them and there is no treatment. After I had my wisdom tooth removed I had an mri of my face (done with stir imaging). You could clearly see a 2cm long lesion in the bone. At the hospital I contested the all clear they gave me, waited to speak to the head maxillofacial surgeon with a print out of my mri with the lesion circled. He just wrote off the anomaly as 'normal anatomy'. And that was that. They basically left me to die because at that point my health was declining fast. I then drove with my mum half way across the country with my mum to see a specialist that actually treats these things. When he did the surgery I asked him, how did the lesion compare to the mri image. He said it was identical. I should mention the reason I had an mri was because was because the problem didn't really show up on xray. Cortical bone (the hard part on the outside) is mostly what shows on xray. It's widely understood that you need at least 30-50% destruction of the inner part of the bone before infections are usually visible. What I had in my jaw happens in other bones in the body. It's not a new disease. The rest of healthcare can diagnose and treat them. Mri with stir imaging is the gold standard for detection in long bones. Stir imaging supresses the fat in the image and for whatever reason these lesions show up with this setting. But for whatever reason this type of problem doesn't exist in the dental world. It's an extremely strange reality. But no other bone in the body suffers the abuses the jaw faces. The amount of absesses, extractions, periodontal disease etc. The jaw lives a hard life.
As for implants from what I recall the literature says something like 20% of then have peri-implantitis. That's just the infection they can see. Mechanically they can function quite well but biologically not so well. Implant supported bridges are probably worse, fairly impossible to clean.
I talked to my dentist recently. I’ve only had two cavities my whole life. We were discussing options for my current one. I said, “Doc, I am not in pain, and I do not want a mercury filling.”
She laughed and said, “you know there’s only an extremely tiny amount of mercury, right?”
I told her what happened to my other filling.
It fucking came out and I almost swallowed the whole fucking thing at once.
She’s now understanding of my concern, for the wrong reasons maybe, but hey progress.
Amalgam doesn't chemically bond to teeth. It has a mechanical bond, ie they have to make under cuts to stop it simply falling out. That means the dentist has to remove far more healthy tooth structure for the filling compared to a composite filling which will bond chemically. It's true Amalgam might last longer than composite fillings for back teeth. But at least composites don't poison you with mercury vapour 🤣
Idk which type it was I got it many years ago. It fell out and I coughed it up when I took a shot to the dome at work and chipped two teeth.
They stopped doing mercury fillings fucking 20 or 30 years ago... I dont think it's even allowed any more
Nope, you can get real cheap ones in some places, along w/ cheap plastic...
Your cure betrays your first statement - no cures for chronic illness.
Chronic illness has one more more causative agents, there's no "magic" illness that just happens out of the blue. Hidden infections, like chronic lyme, can have various symptoms, depending on where the bug hides or what co-infections come along with it. Lyme directly attacks the immune system, letting in other bugs. It, and other spirochetes, attack the nervous system and can generate hallucinations and depression - schizo or Lyme?
It's not just dental infections, there's a much wider scope of cure here.
Much considered chronic autoimmune is just occult infection, where the immune system itself is the sickened organ.
How many chronic diseases these days have an unknown etiology? Means they don't know what causes them. Take multiple sclerosis for example. People do runs to raise money for multi billion dollar companies to create drugs to treat Ms. They work essentially by turning off the immune system. But how can you hope to beat a disease, if you don't even know what is causing it? But really it's a lie, people know what causes it. The primary driver is mercury poisoning. Either from fish or from dental fillings. A fox news presenter actually documented her journey with ms including getting better after having her mercury fillings removed. https://youtu.be/EP0yo0Dsw8M
Sorry to burst your bubble, but mercury isn't the only thing out there causing problems. Lyme disease patients had a hell of a time getting doctors to believe it might be caused by an infectious agent. I had sarcoidosis, another unknown etiology problem, and treating it as an infection with broad spectrum antibiotics and anti-virals works. Don't need to know the bug, because it likely isn't just one. Borrellia and other bugs downgrade the immune system, letting in a bunch of other things. Koch's postulate was a way to simplify the search for new proof of the germ theory. It was never a complete theory of infectious disease.
Mercury poisoning does the same thing, but since a bug can mimic the immune troubles caused by mercury, you can't just stop there.
Don't go to a regular dentist to have amalgams removed. Find one that specialises in safe removal. I read removal can expose you to up a years worth of mercury vapour exposure, in a single day. There have been many documented cases of people being ill by having them unsafely removed. Look for an IAOMT dentist.
Found using Google. I live across the pond so no insurance. I paid for everything privately. Not cheap but 100% worth it.
The natural dentist will be able to remive safely, you need to check for that, check w/ local naturopath or osteopath
The answer is also prevention. Take good care of your teeth. Carbs=sugar.Go easy on energy drink, sodas, juice, candy and processed foods. Floss.
Having a very similar problem what type of specialist will do this work
Look for an iaomt dentist. They vary a lot but you can normally research online.
thanks so much
