" More than 75% of the crowns placed today are nickel, and that is

present in braces. Here we call it stainless steel. It is like silver

fillings, it doesn't have much silver in it, and you would pay for

silver and gold what you wouldn't pay for mercury. So it kind of boils

down to a matter of salesmanship, and stainless steel sound pretty

prestigious, so they put that in children, and what happens? You see

teenage behaviour that may not have been there a few days before the

braces were put on.

At the University of Colorado when I was nearly 50 years old I went

back to take a degree in immunology because I could see I was

affecting the immune system. The first case we studied, we took a

woman and put braces on her, and I am kind of sensitive to immunology,

I studied it for 4 years, and about 2 weeks after that I only knew

about 2% of what was going on in immunology, it is a field that is

expanding very rapidly, but a term I hear many people saying is—you

know this product it boosts your immune system. How does it do that?

What does it do to the T4's and the T 8's?….when you can study the

cells of the immune system with the sophisticated equipment we have,

and we can find that in this case I put the braces in. We did all the

sophisticated testing, we put the braces in, and then the patients

ends up with big bruises on her thigh. How did they get there? Well, a

little sloppy dentistry, but these are huge bruises, no trauma

involved there. Emotional things, a lot of change. Sleeping patterns,

the first thing to change in an immunological challenge? Yes, big

changes there. Things begin to look a little uncomfortable by day 3 so

we took the conventional blood test, and what did I find? Nothing I

could identify at that time, but this was 10 years ago. Today I could

identify it, then I couldn't, but things were still getting worse, and

that afternoon we did the T subsets over again and what did we find?

Immune system shutdown. I mean the T4's were zero, the T8's were zero,

T11's were zero. All of these things may not have a lot of meaning,

but I can tell you zero is not where they should be. Within a few

hours of death. We decided maybe we better take the braces off. The

patients was for it, the faculty was for it, I was for it, I mean this

was my wife we are talking about so it is not a real scientific case.

So we took the braces off and the immune system came back…in 3 moths

we were almost half way back where we were 3 days before. It does not

recover overnight.

And I have other records on my desk where they did not take the braces

off on the fourth day, and the reports show the same changes in the

white blood cells, the same changes in the red blood cells, the same

changes in the body temperature, everything is identical except when

we get to day 4 and the braces were not removed, that was the last

date that was entered on the autopsy reports, because these kids died,

as they can with what is called the chrome crowns. That is a cutesy

little term, chrome crowns, but these kids, I see them in the airport

all the time … and I see little kids with tri-focals on, glasses about

that thick. When did you have your chrome crown placed? I see people

pushing along in a wheelchair. I wonder when did you have your root

canal done? Because root canals so far have turned out to be one of

the most vile things that I have ever run into, and my life for the

last 20 years has been with a lot of vile essense

In California we found a woman who had some nickel crowns placed, she

ended up with a specific type of breast tumour and she went through

the lumpectomy, she went to the support group afterwards, and she said

to me you know my husband was talking to this guy out in Colorado

about nickel being carcinogenic. What does that mean? That mean it

produces cancer. Do you suppose there is any relationship between my

crowns and my breast tumour? Another woman in the group said—well I

went to Dr So and So dentist down the street here. He put nickel

crowns in my mouth and a couple of years later I came down with this

same tumour you have got. She said—that is the same dentist I went to.

And then we found a third woman who had the same crown, the same

tumour, the same dentist. Same day we found a fourth woman with the

same crown, the same tumour, the same dentist. Then we found a fifth,

then a sixth. Is this suggestive of the need for further

investigation? Or should we cover it up? Are there really 100,000

women in the state of California growing breast tumours as a result of

their nickel crowns right now as we are sitting here today? Is that a

possibility? And you know what? They paid for that. They paid to have

that done

Now, is there anything in the scientific literature on this? Yes. Dr

Moss was mentioning someone talking about 1000's of articles. Yes,

there are 1000's of articles on nickel being a carcinogen. There are

not thousands, but maybe hundreds of articles showing that nickel does

something else. After nickel gets the cancer going how do you keep it

under control? You keep it under control with one of the white blood

cells called a natural killer cell, the NK cell. What does it do? It

goes out and it kills off the cancer cells. Now all the rest of the

immune system has to ask somebody. The B's have to ask the T

lymphocytes, and so on, everything is a committee in the immune

system, except the NK cells. There is cancer---bang. They don't ask

anybody. These are nice guys to have around. What does nickel do? It

suppresses your NK cells. So nickel starts the tumour, then takes away

your defences system. Is that nice? No, that is not nice. That is not

nice to put on children aged two with their chrome crowns. That is not

nice to put in our teenagers, or adults, with braces. It is not nice

to use as crowns and bridges just because you save ten bucks. Is it

worth ten bucks to go through breast surgery? If you feel that way

have it but be informed………if you want mercury in your mouth, if you

want nickel, OK, but how many people in this room have nickel crowns

in their mouth? How many people have nickel crowns put in their mouth

when they paid for gold crowns? It is estimated that 50% of the

dentists put in nickel crowns and charge the insurance companies, or

charge you for gold. Nickel does not cost the same as gold. Nickel is

not as safe as gold.

Then we get into the root canal business, and that is the most tragic

of all. Isn't there something you can put in the centre of the canal

that is safe? Yeah, there probably is, but that is not where the

problem is. The problem with a root canal is that it is dead. Lets

equate that. Lets say you have got a ruptured appendix, so you go to

the phone book, and who do you look up? Lets see, we have a surgeon

and a taxidermist, who do you call? You going to get it bronzed? That

is all we do to a dead tooth. We put a gold crown on it, looks like it

has been bronzed. It doesn't really matter what you embalm the dead

tooth with, it is still dead, and within that dead tooth we have

bacteria, and these bacteria are not in the absence of oxygen. In the

absence of oxygen most things die except bacteria. They undergo

something called a pleomorphic change………………like a mutation .. they

learn to live in the absence of oxygen…now produce thioethers, some of

the strongest poisons on the planet that are not radioactive. These

get out into the body and you may notice in the medical literature of

1900 they mentioned a few heart attacks, so it wasn't a big deal in

1900, but by 1910 2% of the US population, which is a lot of folks had

had heart attacks. By 1920---10% of the population had had heart

attacks, and we are up to about 25% about 10 years ago, and everywhere

you go you see joggers running around. Menus in the restaurant have

this little heart over it because we are on low cholesterol diets

…….so what has it done. It has dropped the 25% down to around 43% . We

are going in the wrong direction and root canals are going up. In 1990

we did 17 million of them. This last year we did 23 million, and the

ADA hopes by the year 2000 we reach 30 million a year.

Weston Price knew this back in 1920 … he would take a person who had

had a heart attack, take out the tooth with the root canal, take a

little segment of it, put it under the skin of a rabbit. We have done

this with guinea pigs, and in about 10 days that rabbit would die of a

heart attack. And you could take it out and put it under the skin of

another rabbit, and in 10 days he would die of a heart attack……he

would do this to 30 rabbits and every one of them in 97% of the cases

would die of heart disease. What if they didn't have heart disease? If

they had something else, the rabbit picks up the something else, but

all of them that we have tested in this way have ended up with an auto

immune disease in the kidney, and if you look at the work of ph

Issels in Germany

(http://www.alternativemedicine.com/healthcenter/issels/index.shtml

http://cancerguide.org/coley.html) who for 40 years treated terminal

cancer cases. He started on them when they had already had their

chemo, surgery, radiation, then they came to him. That is having 3

strikes against you and a fast ball down the tube there before you get

up to the plate. He turned around 24% of 16,000 patients over a period

of 40 years. What is the first thing he did? Have a dentist take out

the root canal teeth.

Anyone here know what a shirt tail relative is? Do you have those in

California? I have rels down in Texas, and a shirt tail relative means

that your brothers sister aunt by marriage second, twice removed. Not

blood relative but they come to family reunions. OK, so I have this

shirt tail relative down there about 24 years old, and she has brain

cancer, so what do they do? They take out half her brain. Then it

comes back so they take out the other half of her brain. Then it comes

back a third time, and there is not much left to take out. Now they

probably didn't take out half, I may have stretched the point there a

bit, but she was still fully functional, but it was right smack full

in the middle of the brain. Three tumours growing, three root canals,

and she is pregnant, and it is hard to overcome the stress to the body

that pregnancy does, much less trying to overcome cancer, much less

trying to overcome the root canals.

So we took out those 3 root canals when she had 3-6 months to live.

And that was 6 years ago, and she is still alive today, and MRI can't

find the tumour anymore. It went away.

So there are a lot of things, and this is just a tip of this giant

chunk of ice under the water that has been making us think we are

normal when we have all of these things going on in our body that we

caught at the dental office…..it is time you were informed. Don't rush

out and have your fillings removed because we get 20 phone calls a day

from people who say they rushed out and had there fillings removed and

I am in worse shape than I have ever been in the whole of my life. Get

yourself educated first. " ---Dr Hal Huggins, D.D.S. in a lecture to the
