root canals and conjunctivitis

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I've recently gotten two root canals. I read the article on Meinig's

book that summarizes Price's research on root canals, finding that root canals

cannot kill the bacteria in the dentin, and seem to cause bacteria to mutate and

change locations and cause infections in other parts of the body that can lead

to numerous degenerative diseases.

I didn't have the time or money to find a dentist who would take out my tooth,

and part of my gum and jaw bone, and put a bridge in, so I went ahead with the

root canals anyway, figuring it would be worse to do nothing. I didn't have the

time to get the book and read it before I had to make a decision.

A week after the first root canal I came down with conjunctivitis (pink eye),

which I hadn't had since I was a kid. This happened on vacation. I kicked it

by drinking 5 6-oz cups of chicken coconut soup for two mornings in a row,

making it half-gone after an hour of the first dose, almost all gone the next

morning, and completely gone the second morning. Then I got moderately drunk

the next day and it came back. Since it was the last day of vacation, I'd run

out of the healthily prepared snacks I had, and most of the food, so I basically

ate like crap that day. The next day, it was worse than it had been the whole

time. I was out of chicken stock, but kicked it by drinking lots of coconut

milk in smoothies, drinking green tea, returning to my normal diet, and putting

hot compresses on my eyes, sometimes with eyebright tea.

It's been a couple weeks, but it seems my conjunctivitis is coming back in my

right eye. It was bloodshot and mucusy this morning, but I'll know for sure

tomorrow morning. I haven't been eating any sugar or white flower, but I also

haven't been eating any coconut fat, so the only (anti-microbial) lauric acid in

my diet (large amounts of which seemed to kill the conjunctivitis)is the tiny

amounts in the milk and butter I eat.

Does anyone know more about root canals than I do that has an opinion as to

whether there might be a relation to my root canals and my seemingly chronic

conjunctivitis that has recently sprang on me?

And does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do, preferably ones short

of removing my root canals, which I don't think I can do at least for the time

being?

I was thinking maybe I should include coconut in my diet every day to keep it at

bay. But also someone mentioned using garlic C and E to heal tooth abcesses. I

wonder if this treatment might help me, and if it might also kill of the

bacteria in my system even in the dentin of my root canaled teeth, which might

allow me to keep the root canaled teeth without problems.

Any suggestions and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Chris
