JANUARY 2008 ~ NEW YEAR CHECK IN

[Guest guest]

Well, I think I just may be the first one to reach my goal for 2008!

Congratulate me - I am now, officially - ROOT CANAL FREE! Sad to

say, I actually had four of them. I had 2 removed last year, and it

was my goal to get rid of the other 2 this year.

In the past 10 years, I've had a number of pretty significant

illnesses. Severe depression, horrible eczema and kidney problems,

to name a few. Those ailments were the reason I began my journey

toward wellness. And although my health has improved by leaps and

bounds with the change of diet, lifestyle, etc., the ailments never

completely went away. I have no doubt that if I didn't do all those

good things for my body that I do, I would be a very, very sick

person. And left to conventional medicine, I'd probably be on

dialysis by now. Kidneys don't typically fail for no reason, and so

I began to look for that reason. I became absolutely convinced that

these issues were coming directly from all of those root canal teeth.

(for those of you not familiar with the focal infection theory -

After making that resolution to be free of them all this year, I

thought - what am I waiting for? And although it's not a pleasant

thing to lose teeth, I was so looking forward to just getting them

OUT! And so I just made the appointment and did it. Had the last two

taken out just today. And this may sound crazy, but I swear I feel

better already! (and no, it's not the vicodan! LOL)

I have a wonderful oral surgeon that goes out of his way to make you

comfortable. He a very knowledgeable guy, and open to discussion on

the debate amongst dentists regarding root canals. The reason that

he's so open and knowledgeable has come from his experiences with

his patients. And today, he shared a very interesting story with me.

He had a patient that had been living with MS for quite a long time.

She was in to have a root canal tooth extracted. Normal day, normal

extraction. But this patient called him back afterward specifically

to tell him that after removing that root canal tooth, her health

began to improve significantly. And it kept improving. And after

about 3 months, her doctors - in pure amazement - declared her to be

MS FREE! It was GONE - COMPLETELY. He is absolutely amazed by this.

And it makes you wonder...how many other diseases are a direct

result of these root canal teeth? What a scary, scary thought. And

whose bright idea was it anyway, to leave dead, rotting tissue in

your mouth? You wouldn't leave a gangrenous limb on your body, and

just wrap it up nice and tight, would you? Heck no. In my mind,

albeit on a much smaller scale, the root canals are no different. We

all know that an absessed tooth can actually, literally kill you,

right? And here I was, essentially walking around with FOUR of them!

Bad, bad news. It's absolutely amazing that I wasn't outwardly very

ill. And by conventional dentists standards, there was nothing wrong

with them - your typical root canals. And after removing them, they

found they were both absessed - that did not show up on the x-rays.

Imagine that.

Anyway, I am so looking forward to watching the changes and

improvements in my health as a result of removing them. And also to

seeing how all those proactive things I do affect me, now that the

energy of them isn't being spent on battling all that infection! I

have a sense of relief that I can't even explain.

I'll keep you all posted, and I hope that all of you have a very

happy, healthy, and ROOT CANAL FREE 2008!
