n my opinion, root canals can be dangerous to your health. I had a

tooth abscess in 1991, in October of that year I got a root canal. My

health was not good because of the infection, but after having the

root canal, my health got much worse. I was 30 years old when I first

got the root canal. In January of 1994, I found out about Dr.

Meinig's book " Root Canal Cover-up Exposed. " I had tried my best to

tell the 10 doctors that I had been to, over a period of 3 years that

I was healthy before my tooth abscessed and that my health grew worse

and worse after having the root canal. No one would believe me and

the dentist would not pull the tooth. They told me that the root

canal fixed my tooth, the other health problems were caused by

something else. After reading an article about Dr. Meinig's book, I

called the dentist's office and told them I wanted an appointment to

have the root canal pulled. I had been to the office several times

and begged the dentist to pull the tooth. The dentist numbed my gum

and patted me on the arm and told me this was going to make me feel

better because I was so determined that the root canal was my problem.

He let me know that he didn't want to do it and that it was not going

to make a difference as far as my health was concerned. The very

moment the tooth came out, the pressure that I had felt in my head for

3 years was gone. My husband was in the waiting area, and he could

tell a difference in my appearance when I walked out. Over a period

of months, I felt better and better. For 3 years I had just wanted to

lay down, (no matter how much I slept, I never felt good) the day the

tooth came out I didn't want to just lay around anymore. The source

of the infection had been removed. I had gotten to the point I didn't

want to live as to have to suffer. I honestly believe had I not found

out about his book, I would not be alive today. I didn't even have

the book the day I had the tooth pulled, just an article about it.

After I read his book it was so scary to know that I had that kind of

infection in my body and doctors didn't seem to care. In my case, if

their tests didn't reveal anything and even though I had things wrong

with me that they could see, they treated me as though the problem was

my nerves or in my mind. Some of the physical problems, caused me

such mental anguish, I will never forget nor ever consider a root

canal again. If you have been told that you need a root canal or have

got one and have unexplained physical problems read his book! Teeth

are important, but they are not worth losing your health over.
