Are Root Canals Really a Cause of Cancer?
By Dr. David Jockers DC,
MS, CSCS
Dr. Weston Price was one of the
first researchers to understand the association between root canals and
illness. Specifically that root canals can cause the destruction of
systemic health and the development of chronic illness. Many doctors today
believe that root canals are the infected sites of origin which promote the
decline in immunity and systemic
health.
Given the well-established link
between root canals and illness… can
root canals cause cancer?
Root Canals Promote Secondary
Infections
The nerve and dental decay from
a damaged tooth is removed during a root canal. In theory, the chemical
solution used to disinfect the area is designed to get rid of bacteria that
may linger and cause further infections. But can all bacteria truly be eradicated?
Root canals seem to only place
a bandage over a life threatening problem, and more appropriately merely delay
the onset of major health issues. Unfortunately
there is an underlying misconception that infective agents such as microbes,
fungi, and viruses are successfully disinfected within teeth’s gums.
However, there are miles of microscopic tubules which are never exposed to
sanitizing chemicals.
In studies, up to 50% of the
pathogenic bacteria population remained following treatment with the common disinfectant
sodium hypochlorite. Adding human error to the equation, secondary health
complications arising from root canals seem more likely than not.
Root Canals Foster Harmful
Anaerobic Bacteria and Promote Antibiotic Resistance
Harmful anaerobic bacteria
thrive in an oxygen-free environment when a dentist seals off a treated
tooth. Toxins are
released from the bacteria which leach into both neighboring and distant areas
of the body. In one study, Dr. Stuart Nunnally, DDS, MS, reported that over the course of three years, all 87
patients who had undergone a root canal procedure reported a decline in health.
Dr. Josef Issels, MD, a
world-famous cancer specialist, was probably one of the first physicians to
require all of his cancer patients to
have their dead teeth extracted as part of his healing protocol. In his
book, Cancer: A Second
Opinion, he discusses how over a period of 40 years working with
16,000 thousand cancer patients, over 90 percent of his patients had between
two and ten dead teeth in their mouths when they first arrived at his
clinic. He asserts
(with convincing evidence) that dead teeth left in the mouth generate copious
amounts of toxins capable of causing cancer in humans.
In a world consumed by taking a
pill to treat a problem, antibiotics are yet another standard part of root
canal procedures. The targeted bacteria are sealed off from the root canal and
also separated from circulation or blood flow which enables the antibiotic to
treat the affected area. As a consequence, the population of health-stimulating
bacteria is destroyed and harmful bacteria become further drug
resistant.
Bacterial infections commonly
occurring in relationship to root canals include the following:
Enterococcus feacalis: These
bacteria are associated with urinary tract infections and are one of the most
well-known antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Pseudomonas: Symptoms
associated with these bacteria include a weakened immune system, pneumonia,
blood infections, and may possibly lead to death.
Staphylococci: Referred
to as staph infections, these bacteria not only lead to skin infections, but
pneumonia, blood poisoning, and toxic shock syndrome as well.
Streptococci: Known
as flesh eating bacteria, populations of these bacteria are associated with
strep throat, pain, fever, dizziness, swelling, confusion, abnormal blood
pressure, and toxic shock syndrome.
Root Canals Increase Your Risk of
Chronic Degenerative Disease
Dr. Weston Price learned of an
interesting discovery in the 1900s when his research led him to implanting the
infected tooth from a human into another animal. The same chronic health
complications became apparent in the animal shortly following the tooth’s
implantation. Therefore, it is not only the population of bacteria which causes
systemic dysfunction, but also the concentration of toxins produced by
bacteria.
As a result of Dr. Price’s
research on the implication of root canals and systemic health, we now
understand how root canals increase your risk of all types of adverse health
responses including:
·
Cardiovascular disease
·
Pain and suffering associated with inflammation of the body
·
Nervous system diseases
·
Lowered immunity
·
Diabetes
Improve Your Oral Hygiene
The first step for lowering
your risk of chronic diseases and cancer is preventing the decay of your teeth
and gums. Consider
the following oral hygiene health care tips to lower your risk:
·
Brush your teeth at least twice a day
·
Floss daily
·
Replace toothbrush as necessary or about every 3 months
·
Remove dead cells and bacteria using a tongue scraper
·
Limit acidic foods and drinks
·
Hydrate by drinking purified water
Try These Other Oral Health Care
Tips to Reduce Your Cancer Risk
You may already understand the
benefits of the normal practices of maintaining good oral health, but some
other practices you may want to try have been around for over 3,000 years:
Ayurveda Medicine: A
holistic health treatment believed to prevent and treat 30 types of systemic
diseases that originate from poor dental health.
Oil Pulling: Two
methods of oil pulling may be practiced. Graha gandusha and kavala graha are both
claimed to cure headaches, asthma, bleeding gums, sore throat, and tooth decay.
Oil pulling can be performed with sunflower or coconut oil.
Essential Oils: Essential
oils are effective at preventing pathogenic bacteria build up within the oral
cavity when used daily, and contain no adverse health consequences when used
properly. Amazing oral health care advantages can be seen using tea tree oil,
clove, liquorice root, cinnamon, turmeric root,
parsley, and neem.
Probiotics: Supplementing
your diet with probiotics in foods and beverages is a great way to inhibit the
growth of cancer causing bacteria. To improve your pH balance, try adding foods
rich in healthy bacteria such as Kombucha, sauerkraut, and
kefir.
Green Tea: Green
tea is well known to offer life-supporting health benefits. Green tea contains
micronutrients and antioxidants which assist in fighting
inflammation in the body. Lowering inflammation will help to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease, obesity, and cancer.
