Have you read Root canal cover up? That covers all the focal

infection theory- Billings etc and why his animal experiments stand up.

Dr joseph issels in Germany later on came to the same conclusions.

What the Germans(Voll) developed in addition was the insight that

meridians went right up to the teeth and the importance of the wisdom

teeth linked to the heart meridian.

What do mean dentists are too wimpy? Weston Price wasn't!

Influence of Dental Work on the Flow of Chi

1. Chi

According to the traditional Chinese medicine, Chi is a vital energy

or life force that drives every cell of the body and forms an energy

system throughout the entire body. Chi supports, nourishes and

defends the whole person against mental, physical and emotional

disease. Although invisible its work can be seen in the body. When a

wound is healing " just by itself " it is the work of chi.

Traditionally, everything was seen as an expression of Chi. Chi is

the origin, the power of life. When Chi flows freely, the body is

balanced and healthy. But if the Chi flow becomes blocked, stagnated

or weakened, the result could be an illness on a physical, mental or

emotional level.

2. Meridians

Chi flows around the body in invisible channels known as meridians.

Sometimes they follow the same line as muscles or blood vessels. The

function of the meridians is to:

• control the movement in the body (blood, air, water);

• connect the arms, legs and head with the trunk;

• communication from inside to the outside of the body (and vice

versa) and from up to down (and vice versa);

• control the regulation of the organs.

There are two systems of channels or meridians, namely primary and

secondary meridians. Primary meridians pass through internal organs

but secondary do not. There are 12 pairs of primary meridians with

Chi flowing in continuous circulation through the following organs:

lungs, colon, stomach, spleen, heart, intestines, urinary bladder,

kidneys, pericardium, triple heater, gall bladder and liver. The

primary meridians are named by the organs they are connected to,

i.e. lung meridian, heart meridian, etc. Triple heater (in

Chinese " San Jiao " ) however is an exception. This meridian

corresponds with the relationship between a few organs.

Almost all points used in acupuncture and acupressure are situated

along the primary meridians. Please note that just because the

meridians are named according to the organs they pass through it

does not mean that they only correspond to these organs and their

functions. The meridians also consist of complex interrelated

systems for the circulation of Chi. A meridian is not only connected

to an organ, but also to the Chinese concept of the function of that

organ. For example, large intestine takes care of secretion.

Emotionally it is related with loss and separation. Thus a person

who " collects " can have problems like constipation. Spending a lot

of money also can affect the large intestine.

3. Teeth and Chi

A close connection between the teeth and the whole body has been

known in Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. Teeth are also a

part of a Chi energy chain circulating throughout the entire body.

For example, a meridian that is responsible for gall bladder and

liver runs from the top of the head and by the side of eye to the

upper canine tooth and then further downward through the liver and

ending at the toe next to the little toe. This means that a dental

work on an upper canine could cause headaches due to an imbalance in

the gall bladder-liver meridian.

A German doctor who pioneered biofeedback theory in the 1950's, Dr.

Reinhold Voll, has established a relationship between the teeth or

the corresponding spaces in the jaws if the teeth are missing and

the meridians of Chi. The organs marked in bold in each one of the

resonance chains correspond to the Chinese meridians that are

the " power lines " that relate them.

The eight (8) incisors: (first chain of resonance) - frontal sinus,

kidneys, urinary bladder, lower segment of the spine (Lumbar 2-3,

Sacral 3-4-5), pharyngeal tonsil, knee, foot.

The four (4) canines: (second chain of resonance) - eyes, gall

bladder, liver, palatal tonsil, sphenoid sinus, hip, spine (Thoracic

8-9-10).

All molars (8), except the wisdom teeth: (third chain of resonance) –

maxillary sinus, laryngeal tonsil, stomach, spleen (left side),

pancreas (right side), spine (Thoracic 11- 12, Lumbar1), TMJ

(temporomandibular joint), thyroid and parathyroid, larynx,

oropharynx, breasts.

The eight (8) premolars: (fourth chain of resonance) - ethmoid

sinus, nose, lung, large intestine, spine (Cervical 5-6-7, Thoracic

2-3-4, Lumbar 4-5), shoulder, elbow, hypophysis.

The four (4) wisdom teeth: (fifth chain of resonance) - tongue, ear,

heart, small intestine, spine (Thoracic 5-6-7, Sacra1-2-3), back of

shoulder, back of elbow, lingual tonsil.

According to Dr. Voll, the wisdom teeth have special importance and

mainly relate to the " ominous " influences on the organism. The upper

wisdom teeth " act " on mental level, the endocrine metabolism and the

peripheral and central nervous system, whereas the lower ones act on

the circulation and the " budget " or power metabolism. Any buccal

focal dental treatment must begin with the elimination of the lower

wisdom teeth if they are in malposition (e.g. impacted) or with the

dead pulp. Dr. Voll does not recommend any endodontic treatment of

the wisdom teeth.

Apparently terminal chronic diseases that involve lack of energy and

that occur mainly at one side of the body are sometimes associated

with problems with teeth that do not cause pain or ailment at that

moment. Examples of these dental problems could be: irritated nerves

of a tooth, inflamed pulp, an abscess or a tooth that has not grown

out of a jaw as is frequently a case with impacted wisdom teeth. The

materials used for dental treatment sometimes cause allergic

reactions: mercury-based silver fillings, crown and bridge

materials, even materials used for dentures. A problem could

manifest itself near the mouth, facial pains, sinus cavity problems,

eye or ear problems. Dr. Voll recommends a further medical

examination when there are several symptoms that can be narrowed

down to one particular tooth or alveolar space in case of a missing

tooth. The therapy consists of dental or surgical treatment of the

diagnosed dental problem and a counseling leading to the recovery.

An opposite effect could also be expected: due to the circulation of

Chi, a disease of one or more organs in a body could have a negative

impact on one or more teeth.

Wallace, Weston Price was one in a million. I'm a supporter of his, believe me, but there aren't that many of us out there. And when you bring up his name, almost every dentist who's heard of him will shoot him down, because they've been taught to. Most dentists are next to worthless, IMO. They casually treat the most dangerous areas of the body without a clue to the seriousness of the organisms they introduce or spread, or the severe physical harm they can do. I'm still amazed that the ADA finally admits that dental cleanings can cause serious heart disease and failure. So why can't they see beyond the heart, into the brain or the glands or the gut or anywhere else bacteria can travel to? Drilling a hole into a tooth without proper antiseptics is like playing russian roulette. Dentists look at our jaws as mechanical apparatus, not living body parts. pennyWallace Kingston <wpswallace@...> wrote: Have you read Root canal cover up?

Focus on Foci

The " focus " has been described as a chronic, abnormal, local change

in the connective tissue, capable of producing the most varied

distant effects beyond its immediate surroundings, and therefore in

constant conflict with local and general defence (Pischinger and

Kellner). By this definition, even a fully-healed scar may sometimes

act as a focus, spreading disease to distant parts of the body. But

the foci we shall now examine will be confined to those of the teeth

and tonsils - in my view, the most lethal of all foci.

The emphasis I place on the removal of devitalised teeth and

chronically-diseased tonsils is one of the better-known aspects of

my work, but also one of the most criticised and misunderstood. I do

not, for instance, recommend that healthy tonsils and teeth be

removed from a healthy person. But I believe if they are diseased,

they cause the body's natural resistance to be lowered, thus acting

as an important contributory factor to tumour development. In these

cases, I insist on their removal.

It is sometimes argued that to carry out such operations on

seriously ill patients is unnecessarily cruel, even irrelevant.

There are some unpleasant side-effects, but in my opinion, the

benefits - which I will describe - more than make up for any

temporary discomfort. It is further argued that in the cancer

patient, as much lymphatic tissue as possible should be preserved,

and therefore tonsillectomy should not be carried out because even a

diseased tonsil may retain some useful defence potential. I used to

believe this was so. I do not any longer for reasons which will be

evident.

The beneficial results of tonsillectomy with cancer patients were

first brought to my attention in 1953, and by chance. A

tonsillectomy was performed on an incurable cancer patient in my

clinic who had severe rheumatic pains and a long history of

tonsillar disease. The operation was done to relieve the woman's

pain, but it was remarkably successful in other ways as well:

general toxic symptoms disappeared and, most important of all, her

pathologically rapid pulse rate was reduced. Many cancer patients

have a high pulse rate, reaching 140 and even 160, and this always

leads to a poor prognosis, but in the case of this woman, it was

almost normalised. Soon her tumour began to regress, and ultimately

she recovered from her cancer.

This unexpected but welcome result encouraged me to arrange for

tonsillectomies on two further patients with tonsillar ailments, who

also had therapy-resistant cardiovascular disorders and toxic

symptoms. In these cases as well, following surgery, cardiovascular

and many other symptoms virtually disappeared. A positive " re-

tuning " of natural defence and a certain inhibition of tomour growth

was also observed. This improved situation naturally allowed more

time for active immunotherapy to work.

These early successes encouraged me to persevere with

tonsillectomies. Before making them virtually obligatory in my

clinic, forty percent of those who died there did so from heart

attacks. Afterwards the figure dropped to five percent. This, I

contend, is incontrovertible proof that tonsillogenic toxins find

their way into the bloodstream and eventually can cause, for

instance, a fatal myocardial disease. This is one reason why more

people die from heart disease than from any other.

In addition, my experience shows a direct connection between dental

and tonsillar foci and many of the illnesses responsible for early

debilitation and untimely invalidising.

It has long been generally accepted that head foci may give rise to

almost all kinds of chronic, and certain acute diseases, such as-to

mention a few-the manifold varieties of rheumatic and cardiovascular

conditions. The removal of such foci is today a routine part in the

conventional treatment of those diseases. However, the fact that

head foci are also a contributory cause in the development of

neoplasia, by lowering resistance, has received all too little

acknowledgement.

The extent of the disease-provoking activity of a focus in distant

parts of the body depends on whether the body is able to oppose the

focus with its own defence mechanism. As long as the focal situation

is kept under control by the local defence mechanism, no focus-

induced remote effects will arise. On the other hand, distant

effects will arise when the body's resistance has more or less

broken down: control of head foci will then gradually collapse, and

there will be consequential gradual increase in generalized

focogenic intoxication. This will cause an inevitable deterioration

of the body's defence power with a concomitant promotion of

malignant growth.

Nearly everybody is confronted with dental problems at some time in

their life, and even the most scrupulous dental care cannot

guarantee dental health. Endogenous factors, such as prenatal damage

to the embryonic dental tissue, as well as exogenous influences,

such as malnutrition and toxins, must essentially be held

responsible for the great number of dental diseases, be they a weak,

susceptible gingival, or gum; or teeth which are malpositioned,

barreled or impacted; or, worse of all, a disposition to decay.

Despite its porcelain-like surface, the crown enamel of the tooth is

vulnerable to decay. Enamel defects develop especially in the

grooves of the crown or on the adjacent surface of neighbouring

teeth which are difficult to clean.

Decay is not painful so long as it is confined to this nerveless

enamel layer. The onset of a toothache is the first noticeable sign

that the decay has invaded the dentine body of the tooth which,

unlike the enamel, does have nerves. If this decay is allowed to

continue, sooner or later the dentine will be completely penetrated,

and the pulp inside the tooth will then become inflamed.

As long as only the outer enamel and dentine are affected, the tooth

can be preserved. But a tooth with an inflamed pulp can no longer be

saved, and must be extracted without delay.

In an understandable desire to preserve as many teeth as possible,

to maintain the masticatory apparatus and its functions, attempts

are often made to save teeth which are in fact lost. There is a

widespread conviction that this can be done without risk by the

sterile evacuation of the pulp, and then refilling the cavity. For

decades, the erroneous belief was held that, after such treatment,

the tooth is an isolated, lifeless thing, no longer involved in any

of the body's processes. This assumption was originally based on the

premise that the pulp cavity had only one orifice to the apex of the

root below, and by filling, this opening was sealed. However, the

dentinal canal does not end in just one opening; instead, it

resembles a tree with many branches which penetrate the tooth's body

in all directions.

The finer details of the entire dental structure have been

exhaustively studied by Austrian researchers. They have established

that there is a lively metabolic interchange between the interior

and exterior milieu of the tooth, and that this two-way process

takes place along many thousands of hyperfine, capillary canals

joining the pulp cavity to the exterior surface of the tooth.

Very careful conservation measures may possibly seal off the

vertical central-medial-tube of the dentinal canal, but it will

never reach the lateral " twigs " branching off from this tube. Nor

can it ever close off the innumerable capillary canals. Some protein

will always remain in these secondary spaces. If this protein

becomes infected, toxic catabolic products will be produced, and

conveyed into the organism.

It was established in 1960 by W. Meyer (Goettingen) that within

devitalized teeth the dentinal canals and dental capillaries contain

large microbial colonies. The toxins produced by these microbes in a

tooth with a root filling can no longer be evacuated into the mouth,

but must be drained away through the cross-connections and unsealed

branches of the dentinal and capillary canals into the marrow of the

jawbone. From there, they are conveyed to the tonsils, and thus the

flow systems of the body. In fact, the conservation treatment may

literally convert a tooth into a toxin producing " factory " .

A devitalized tooth is no longer able to perceive and control

inflammatory processes even when suppuration has invaded the

surrounding bone spaces of the tooth's socket; it rarely gives

warning signals, for instance through pain, and therefore there is

nothing to induce the patient to have this dangerous toxic foci

removed. It then may be left to develop its devastating effect on

the organism for decades or even for a lifetime.

When the inflammation spreads to the marrow of the tooth socket, it

can cause osteomyelitis. Its further course is determined by whether

and for how long the local defence is able to keep the focal

disturbance under control.

If the body's local resistance is intact, the inflammation is

enclosed by a capsule of connective tissue known as the dental

granuloma. This membranous cyst prevents its toxic contents from

spreading into the organism. Radiographs of these teeth show

granuloma cysts as more or less marked transparencies at the apex of

the root. This type of tooth is called X-ray positive.

If the body's local resistance is weakened to such an extent that

the inflammatory process cannot be encapsulated by the granuloma

cyst, the toxins will be able to advance unhindered into the marrow

spaces, the tonsils, and into the body. In this case, it is proof

that - as stressed by Pischinger and Kellner - the organism has

become largely incapable of reaction. Radiographs of these teeth as

a rule show no transparencies, and are therefore called X-ray

negative.

In my cancer patients, I have found that such non-encapsulated foci -

that is those who show X-ray negative - were particularly common,

as one would expect from people whose body resistance has been

lowered.

Today there is general agreement that dental foci should be cleared

away, and it has become usual to diagnose them by X-ray.

Unfortunately, only some of the dental foci can be discovered by

this means. Encapsulated foci can be recognized only if large

enough, and if not concealed by the tooth's shadow. And definite X-

ray signs are much rarer in non-encapsulated osteomyelitic

processes. It is therefore the most dangerous of all dental foci

which most frequently prove X-ray negative. Even with X-ray positive

dental film, only those foci can be recognized which happen to be

situated outside shadows. Since X-ray negative foci often escape

treatment - and they are the ones the body has failed to resist

effectively - they can continue to develop their destructive effects

unhindered.

My clinical experience has produced evidence of a causal connection

between foci and tumour development, and in this respect, the

results obtained with the aid of an infra-red test are especially

significant.

Any inflammatory disease focus creates on its corresponding skin

surface a pathological increase of infra-red emission; the higher

the activity of the focus, the more pronounced it is. Using an infra-

red sensitive instrument (Schwamm's infra-red toposcope), the

intensity of this emission can be continuously monitored and

measured. Observation shows a close interrelation between the infra-

red emission of head foci and that of the neoplasial region. That

is, after treatment, a decrease in the infra-red activity of dental

foci was as a rule accompanied by a decrease in infra-red emission

over the tumour areas.

From this it is clear that the advisable treatment for devitalized

teeth is extraction.

But even this is not always enough. My experience has further shown

that also living teeth may sometimes be so damaged that their

pathogenic potential almost equals that of devitalized teeth. For

instance, latent chronic pulpitis may arise in a tooth that appears

outwardly healthy, thus having a focal effect.

The diagnosis and treatment of dental foci remains generally

unsatisfactory. A survey conducted at my clinic found that, on

admission, ninety-eight percent of the adult cancer patients had

between two and ten dead teeth, each one a dangerous toxin

producing " factory " . Very often we are confronted with X-ray

negative dead teeth, root remnants, and residual ostitis which had

not been diagnosed and therefore had not been removed.

Only total, thorough dental treatment will really succeed in giving

the body's defence a chance. In addition to X-ray diagnosis, it is

therefore necessary to use other diagnostic aids, such as infra-red

techniques, tests, to estimate tooth vitality and periosteal

resistance, and other electrometric methods.

The diagnosis of foci in teeth had been greatly improved by electro-

acupuncture. It is now possible to differentiate foci not only with

regard to their type and position, but also to their virulence and

pathogenic efficacy. The result of focus treatment can consequently

be observed and improved, before, during, and after dentistry, to an

extent never known before (Kramer).

If total treatment is to be performed, it is necessary to remove not

only any devitalized teeth but also any hidden dental foci remaining

in the jaw.

Further, total removal of devitalized teeth and their roots must not

be the end of the dentist's activities. Each alveolus - the tooth's

socket in the jaw - should be radically cleared down to the healthy

bone. In that way the development of the residual ostitis or of a

cystoma may be prevented. It is not only the tooth which may be a

focus, the but the adjacent tooth-fixing apparatus as well.

There are four different ways by which dental foci - and indeed all

foci - can affect the organism and contribute to the development of

secondary damages:

1. The " neural " way of affecting the organism.

When a focus develops anywhere in the transit tissues, the

mesenchyme, the process is centripetally projected from the terminal

neural organs around the irritated area, along the neural ducts, up

to the corresponding control cells within the central nervous

system. The irritation originating from a focus can, under certain

conditions, trigger off the mechanism of a neural dystrophy - a slow

degeneration - which may show itself in localized effects in other

areas, but also in a generalized dystrophic disturbance.

In the 1950s it was shown that these manifestations are based on

depolarizing processes in the affected neural cells, and in the

corresponding tissues of the body's periphery (Fleckenstein and

Ernsthausen). By elimination of the focus, the affected tissues may

be repolarised. The most striking example of this repolarisation is

called " second-phenomenon " .

Ferdinand Huneke, the founder of neural therapy whose remarkable

contribution in this regard we shall look at in detail later,

discovered over forty years ago that injection of a local

anaesthetic near a primary focus may immediately remove any symptoms

of distant disease induced by the focus. This effect - the second-

phenomenon - usually takes place only a few seconds after the

anaesthetic injection, and lasts for hours, days, or even for a

lifetime. Naturally the improvement occurs only in those regions

influenced by the injected focus. Nevertheless, the measure has

therefore a remarkable diagnostic value as well.

Since neural therapy only neutralizes the neural effect of a focus,

the focus itself must, of course, be removed after such treatment,

in order to eliminate its latent toxic or allergenetic action.

Conversely, any focal surgery must be followed by desensitizing and

neural-therapeutic measures.

The only exceptions to this rule are, for instance, featureless

scars or other spots with no inflammatory change which produce only

neural distant effects without at the same time causing any toxic,

microbial, or allergic secondary phenomena.

2. The " toxic-way " of affecting the organism.

The toxic activity of odontogenic foci is probably far more perilous

for the organism than their neural effects. The mechanism of this

distant toxic activity, as well as the characteristics of the toxic

compounds involved, have been largely ascertained.

Odontogenci compounds are the gangrenous contents of an inflamed

pulp cavity and its adjoining spaces. It consists of detritus and

decaying, formerly vital substrates which have been necrobiotically

altered - commonly found in tissues destroyed by inflammation,

liquefaction and microbial putrefaction. Thus there can be little

doubt that they are genuine necrogenous toxins, including for

instance autologous proteinic and higher-molecular fission products

resulting from enzyme cleavage and other biogenic conversions.

The identity and chemical struction of certain of the biogenic

amines were mainly clarified in the 1950s by Schug-Koesters, Hiller,

Gaebelein and others of the University of Munich. Following similar

findings in America, the metabolic and exchange processes in solid

dental structures were further investigated by the German researcher

Spreter von Kreudenstein. He showed that drugs injected

intravenously were, four to five hours later, discernible within the

intradental capillary ducts or even devitalized teeth, and in a

concentration only slightly lower than in the blood.

That endodental exchange may also take place in the opposite

direction has been reported by Bartelstone (USA) and Djerassi

(Bulgaria). If radio-iodine, I-131, is deposited in an evacuated

pulp cavity which is then sealed off with a filling, the iodine will

appear in the thyroid some twenty hours later, as can be

demonstrated by taking a scintograph of the thyroid region.

Similarly, dyes can be washed out of a sealed pulp cavity.

All these findings prove conclusively that within solid dental

structures, there may proceed an unimpeded substantial interchange

in either direction. Consequently, odontogenic toxins, wherever they

may have been produced, are able to diffuse and circulate within the

organism.

The pathogenic significance of these " endotoxins " has been

investigated by the German study group of Eger-Miehlke. They

examined the changes in healthy experimental animals after injection

of accurately defined, minimal quantities of the endotoxins from an

odontogenous granuloma.

A single injection of a minimal dose seemed to develop a defence-

activation effect. But after repeated injections, there was severe

liver damage, and the animals died within weeks. Apart from the

fatal liver damage, inflammatory and degenerative changes were found

in all other organs, especially in the joints, muscles, and blood

vessels.

These results brought clear experimental proof for the first time

that focogenic toxins act as causal agents for severe diseases in

animals corresponding to similar chronic conditions in man.

The most dangerous of all odontogenous toxins are undoubtedly the

thio-ethers, for instance dimethylsulfide. In a series of tests

performed at my clinic, it was observed that patients with

odontogenous and tonsillar foci had a heightened level of

dimethylsulfide in their blood. After intensive treatment of the

foci, this level returned to normal in just a few days.

Thio-ethers are closely related, both in their structure and their

effect, to mustard gas and other poison gases used in the First

World War. The extreme toxicity of the poison gases and thio-eithers

can be attributed to the following properties:

They are weakly basic, therefore " electro-negative " , and thus they

are deposited particularly in " electro-positive " cells such as those

of the transit tissues as well as those of the defensive tissues.

They are soluble in the lipids, and therefore have a pronounced

tendency to enrich themselves in the lipoid-containing cellular

structures, especially in mitochondria.

These subcellular organelles, attached to their lipoid membranes,

contain the enzymatic structures responsible for the maintenance of

aerobic metabolism - a precondition for full functioning power in

all the body's cells and tissues. If these indispensable units are

damaged, the most serious consequences will follow. Because they are

the most vulnerable cellular organelles, mitochondria are a

favourite and almost exclusive target for thio-ethers. The action of

thio-ethers is effected in three main ways:

Since thio-ethers tend to combine with electro-positive metal ions

and many bio-elements which act as co-effectors or activators of

numerous enzymes of absolutely vital importance, and as our present-

day average diet is deficient in essential substrates such as

vitamins and bio-metals, this deficiency is enhanced. Much of the

daily intake of bio-metals, usually deposited in the fluids of a

focally affectd organism, will be made permanently ineffective; the

more foci, the greater will become the deficiency.

Thio-ethers are " partial " antigens, haptens, and thus they also tend

to combine with the normal proteins in the body, " denaturising "

them. Such denatured proteins become " non-self " agents which the

body must deal with as such. The production of antibodies adapted to

the situation will be provoked, and they will home in on the target

antigens wherever they are. The process of " auto-aggression " will be

set in motion: self-destruction of agents alien to the organism.

Extensive structural cellular damage will result, increasing with

age.

The famous biologist, Otto Warburg, twice winner of the Nobel Prize,

has shown that aerobically-blocked cells - as caused by thio-ethers -

will increase their anaerobic metabolism in an attempt to maintain

their vigour. In doing so, they acquire the characteristics of

malignant cells. Therefore, chemical agents capable of inactivating

the aerobic process while increasing the anaerobic process are

usually classed as carcinogenous compounds.

Druckrey (Heidelberg) found inter alia that transformation of a

normal cell into a malignant cell requires a certain quantity of a

carcinogen -the carcinogenic minimum dose. It does not matter

whether this quantity is supplied in a single dose or in a number of

smaller doses, because the toxic effects of each dose are stored,

and accumulate without loss. The carcinogens held primarily

responsible for the development of spontaneous cancer in man are

those:

Which inhibit the aerobiosis even in minimal quantities without at

the same time immediately destroying the cell, and, which are

constantly present in the organism in this minimal concentration of

either endogenous or exogenous origin; they can therefore accumulate

during the normal life expectancy gradually and unnoticeably until

the total quantity necessary for malignisation is reached.

There is hardly a carcinogen which so completely fulfils these

conditions as do thio-ethers. Incessantly, from the moment the pulp

is removed, hour by hour, year by year, minimal amounts of these

most virulent of all the odontogenous toxins will be released into

the circulation - minimal doses, but nevertheless sufficient to more

or less totally paralyse the aerobic action of the cell.

The nervous system is thus doubly affected by focal intoxication.

Firstly, by the increasing destruction of the neural ducts which

mediate between the control centers and the peripheral areas, thus

sometimes initiating neurogenic dystrophy. And secondly, by the

immediate intoxication of neural cells caused by the toxins

spreading through the liquid vehicles of the flow systems, such as

the blood and lymph.

The more mitochondria a cell contains, the more it will be damaged

by the enzyme-inhibiting effect of thio-ether compounds. Therefore

it is the vital organs - the liver, nervous system, endocrine

glands, heart, and reticuloendothelial system - whose cells may

consist of up to one-fifth of mitochondria, that are primarily

affected. Apart from disturbing regulatory control, odontogenous

toxins will also cause additional damage almost throughout the body.

Naturally, the higher the book-level of focogenous toxins, the more

severe will be their effect.

The close interlacing of the lymphatic and endocrine systems in the

head, make it unavoidable that brain cells are more intensively

toxified by the circulating focogenous agents and may suffer

particularly heavy damage. The lymph ducts of the head region join

Waldeyer's tonsillar ring, and if there is such congestion, waste

fluids will be pressed through the porous base of the skull into the

lymphatic spaces of the brain. Toxogenous changes, especially within

autonomic nuclei, are regularly found in cancer patients, as

verified in the 1930s by Muehlmann (USSR), and they may be a

consequence of a life-long inhibition of cerebral aerobiosis due to

focogenous intoxication.

The cerebral damage (diencephalosis) and the subsequent loss of

vitality in cancer patients is accompanied by the number of other

symptoms. The emission of hypothalamic energy impulses, recordable

by a Voll's electro-acupuncture device, are reduced in patients with

focal disease. The autonomic vigour is relaxed, creating " regulation

rigidity " : carcinomas tend to parasympathicotonic derailment; in

sarcomas and systemic diseases, as a rule the opposite is found -

sympathicotonic derailment (Regelsberger, Gratzl-, Rilling et

al). the diurnal, circadian regulation of the acid-base balance is

lost (Sander). At the same time, there will exist a distinct

inhibition of other diurnal control functions, for instance of blood

sugar, cholesterol, and mineral metabolism, and many other metabolic

parameters are greatly restricted (Hinsberg).

The lack of vigour and control efficiency is not, of course, without

effect on the patient's psychic condition. Vegetative disorder is

therefore generally accompanied by neurasthenic dystonia -

characterized by the diminishing vitality and autonomic instability.

3. The " allergic " way of affecting the organism. The toxic effects

of thio-ethers overlap those caused by higher-molecular odontogenous

toxins as already described.

Antibodies are formed to fight these substances, eventually leading

to the destructive processes in toxified cells. Since the organ-

destroying antibodies or defence enzymes are excreted by the

kidneys, they can be diagnosed in the urine by the abderhalden test.

In this way we can precisely deduce, in most cases, which organs

have suffered secondary damage (Abderhalden, Dyckerhoff et all).

The extent of secondary lesions can also be demonstrated indirectly

by vaccine treatment. Using desensitizing vaccines made from

focogenous agents, reactions are caused in regions affected by

distant focal effects which may become evident in regional as well

as general symptoms.

It is thus clear that the development of cancer disease is, in more

ways that one, closely linked with focal events.

4. The " bacterial " way of affecting the organism.

Bacterial dissemination from primary dental foci as a rule takes

place with barely perceptible symptoms, and may be followed by the

formation of " secondary foci " in other regions. These include, inter

alia, foci in the paranasal sinuses, gall-bladder, appendix,

prostate, and renal pelvis.

Above all, bacterial dissemination tends to produce microfoci or

microthrombi in veins, and they in turn have a tendency to

thrombosis or thrombophlebitis, possibly with concomitant embolism.

Thrombophlebitis and thrombosis, so common in cancer patients, and

generally regarded as resulting from disordered metabolism, are due

not only to the dyscrasia of those patients, but also to the

manifold effects of dental foci.

Shakow (Moscow), in collaboration with several clinics, has carried

out an interesting investigation involving more the 1200 young

pupils at a boarding school. Over a period of six years, it was seen

that students with devitalized teeth had three times as many

illnesses as those with healthy dentition. By removing devitalized

teeth in these young patients, up to eighty percent of their

illnesses were cured.

We have now seen how decisively the entire organism is affected by

dental foci not properly treated, and what catastrophic results

destruction of the pulp may entail. Dentists must, therefore, bear

in mind that there is no root treatment which does not inevitably

produce foci.

The dentists' task is only secondarily cosmetic; primarily it must

be preventive and curative. The over-riding consideration must not

be conservation of the tooth but preservation of its vitality. If

this is impossible, even the most beautiful crown must not delude us

that the lifeless tooth beneath is anything other than a " corpse in

a golden coffin " , whose decomposition toxins slowly but surely are

destroying the organism (Bircher-Benner).

Other foci in the jaw, for instance ostitis, cysts, foreign bodies,

gingivitis, and malposition of teeth may also develop focal effects.

It goes without saying that these foci and centers of irritation

must be removed.

The dentist should always remember that he has a vital role to

prevent the development of chronic illness and, most important of

all, to decisively reduce the hazard of cancer.

Now let us turn to tonsillar foci.

Chronically inflamed tonsils are primary head foci which sometimes

have an even more damaging effect on the organism as a whole than

dental foci. They can participate in the development of chronic

illness, including cancer, by the four ways already described for

dental foci: by neural, toxic, allergic, and bacterial means. There

are also similar connections between the development of cancer and

tonsillar foci as there are between cancer and dental foci. For

instance, after removing the tonsils, there is a decrease of infra-

red radiation over the tumour, and sometimes even a shrinking of the

tumour.

The three tonsils in man, that is, the naso-pharyngeal tonsil, or

adenoid, and the two tonsils proper, the palatine tonsils in the

pockets between the anterior and posterior palatine arches in the

back region of the mouth, together with other seemingly

insignificant lymphoepithelial organs, form Waldeyer's tonsillar

ring.

The tonsils are excretion organs by which the lymphocytes, microbes,

toxin-laden lymph, and other matter, are discharged (Roeder). Even

in healthy people, the tonsils may contain plugs - sometimes wrongly

described as pus - which consist mainly of fatty acids, cholesterol,

and other slag substances clearly characterizing them as excretion.

The pale-coloured plugs form in the shallow depressions on the

tonsils' surface - the tonsillar crypts - and are expelled into the

oral cavity and swallowed. The excretions of the tonsils may also

contain dental toxins.

The tonsillar crypts have been described as the places where the

physiologically obligatory bacterial flora are hatched. This flora

colonises the mucous membranes of the nose and throat and the other

air passages. The tonsils also produce antibodies, and undesirable

microbes and their toxins are rendered harmless. Thus they have an

immunizing or detoxicating purpose and must be regarded as a

functional analogue of the lymph organs of the intestinal mucous

membrane, and, like the latter, as an important part of the body's

defence system.

Healthy tonsils have a pale, pink, surface, and are normally almond

or bean-sized. Their size and reaction capacity are determined not

only by functional demands and loads, but also to some extent by

each individual's inherited constitution. With an inherited

disposition to lymphatic diathesis, due mainly to heavy hereditary

infection, there is regularly found a congenital enlargement or

hyperplasia of the tonsils. This is always accompanied by an

increased disposition to inflammatory reactions. Inflammatory

reactions are also caused by their physiological function. A

normally subliminal, and therefore symptomless tonsillitis, thus

belongs to the " normal bodily state of man " (Leuscher).

Whenever large quantities of toxic and waste substances have to be

excreted, the blood perfusion and inflammatory activity of the

tonsils will increase. This state is often accompanied by painful

swelling and reddening of the tonsils, and is described, depending

on its subsequent course, as acute, sub-acute, or if occurring

repeatedly, chronic tonsillitis.

I shall now concentrate on chronic, and especially on degenerative

tonsillitis, because, under certain conditions, dangerous focal

processes develop from it which are of causal importance for the

origin of all chronic illnesses, including cancer.

Although each case of chronic tonsillitis is due to the same

mechanism, it is possible to distinguish between three different

groups. The first group includes those chronic tonsillitis cases

which arise in healthy tonsillar tissues capable of response,

following frequent attacks of acute tonsillitis, or angina; they

have been called upon to repeatedly react to infective irritation,

and to excrete toxins. Each new attack leads to an increase in

volume, perfusion, and activity. They are then in a high state of

readiness for defence. But if such inflammations occur with

increasing frequency, the tonsils gradually lose their reaction

capacity and defensive power, and atrophy. Too much has been asked

of them.

The second group includes those tonsillar foci which develop under

certain conditions from congenitally enlarged or hyperplastic

tonsils. This kind of hyperplasia can be so extensive that the

fauces are completely obstructed. Unfortunately it is still common

practice to reduce their size by partially lopping off these

hyperplastic tonsils. The tonsils are thereby deprived of the

shallow depressions - the crypts - so indispensable to their

purpose; the excretory function cannot take place without an intact

surface with open crypts. After a tonsillotomy lopping-off

operation, the remaining crypts are always narrowed or closed by

scar tissue, the substances to be excreted are cut off from their

air supply (Voss), and are therefore un-aerobically decomposed with

the formation of toxic decomposition products. It follows that

lopping-off should not be performed. These tonsils should be totally

removed, even if they are not yet causing any recognizable distant

effects.

The third group of tonsillar foci, in cancer patients the most

common, comprises the seemingly healthy, but small, congenitally

underdeveloped and functionally deficient tonsils. A history of

tonsillar symptoms is usually absent in these patients. Their

tonsils are " unremarkable " , but firmly fused with their base, and

cannot easily be dislodged.

What these three main groups of chronic tonsillitis have in common

is a focal-toxigenic effect progressively increasing with age, and a

tendency sooner or later to atrophy. This process will be

accelerated if there is an additional and continuous passive

exposure to odontogenous toxins.

The close connection between teeth and tonsils was proven when it

was observed that Indian ink injected into a sealed dental cavity

appeared as spots on the tonsillar surface in about twenty to thirty

minutes. These experiments showed that pathogenic substances from

the jaw region, including toxins from devitalized teeth, are

conducted to the lymphatic tonsillar ring, there to be detoxicated

and excreted. Besides their " natural " physiological load, the

tonsils are thus additionally exposed to continuous attack by

odontogenous toxins provoked by the devitalisation of teeth.

We have already seen how dangerous these dental toxins are. It is

inevitable that they eventually have a severe effect on the active

lymphoepithelial tonsillar tissue. So long as the cells destroyed by

dental toxins can be regeneratively replaced, the functional

capacity of the tonsils will not be seriously impaired. But if the

destroyed lymphoepithelial tissue is increasingly replaced by

inactive scar tissue - by tissue unable to execute its defence

function - the excretion, detoxication, and defence capacity of the

tonsils will progressively diminish and eventually be extinguished.

With the loss of reactive lymphatic tissue, the tonsils lose their

ability to give warning signs by inflammation; they not longer offer

this usual signal for trouble. According to Kellner, this lack of

symptoms signifies a definite inability to continue to further

reaction. In such tonsils, the attacking toxins are no longer

excreted; on the contrary, they are channeled into the organism via

the vascular system.

It goes without saying that this development will take place far

more quickly when less lymphoepithelial tissue is still present. In

congenital tonsillar deficiency, there is, a priori, so little

active tissue that its complete destruction can in certain cases be

accomplished in a relatively short time. Normally developed, or

hyperplastic tonsils if not lopped off, will withstand the dental

infection considerably longer. But they too will sooner or later

succumb.

The final stage of all three forms of chronic tonsillitis is

therefore " atrophically degenerating tonsillitis " . On medical

examination, the findings here are small, atrophic tonsils which

show no sign of inflammation but, unlike healthy tonsils, they

cannot be dislodged by the surgeon's spatula. When removing them,

they have to be dissected from their bed, so firmly fused are they

to the surrounding tissue. Whereas with healthy tonsils the colour

of the anterior palatine arch does not differ from that of the oral

mucous membrane, in atrophically degenerating tonsillitis there is a

bluish discoloration of the palatine arch. The uvula is mostly

gelatinously thickened. The tonsils themselves, however, may still

appear externally healthy.

Even normal-sized or enlarged tonsils may already have extensive

degenerative changes and consist mainly of hardened scar tissue

which of course is unable to neutralize toxins. There then follows

the formation of usually quite latent and painless chronic tonsillar

and retrotonsillar abscesses. Here we find the highly pathogenic

beta-haemolytic streptococci of Group A - responsible for many

chronic illnesses, and whose toxins spread through the organism and

contribute to the development of secondary lesions, of resistance

deficiency, and of the tumour milieu.

Apart from the directly allergenic and toxinic activity of these

products, continuous toxic attack always leads to an alteration of

the tonsillar (lymphoid) cells. Their proteinic structure is so

altered that the organism is induced to form antibodies against

these, its own, cells which have become foreign to it, antibodies

which finally turn against healthy lumphocytes as well, and thus

considerably weaken the lymphatic defence system of the whole

organism.

With the decline of the active tonsillar tissue, its biological

power is also exhausted. Active detoxication, toxicopexis, and

excretion of toxic substances and wastes through the tonsils is no

longer possible. In the tonsillar crypts, the physiologically

essential symbionts are no longer hatched. Instead, dangerous

pathogenic organisms are able to spread through the body because the

immuno-activity of the tonsillar barrier is lost with the

destruction of the lymphoepithelial tissue.

When the dental toxins are no longer neutralized and excreted, they

will infiltrate even the last remnants of functioning tonsillar

tissue and cause them to die. This creates high- and low-molecular

necrotoxins which, as we have already seen, are similar or identical

to odontogenous toxins. Toxin formation is inevitably increased.

All these toxins, no longer inactivated in the tonsillar ring or

excreted, have to be conducted to other " vents " by way of the blood

circulation. Toxinaemia and secondary lesions are increased, and the

humoral milieu and the body's resistance deteriorates further. The

process has become a deadly vicious circle.

Since degenerated and chronically inflamed tonsils are such

dangerous toxogenic foci, like dead teeth and other dental foci,

they must be removed. With previously lopped tonsils, there is also

a clear case for tonsillectomy.

The focogenous toxicopathy caused by necrotic-atrophic tonsillitis

is of course far more dangerous than the toxi-infectious effect of a

hyper-reactive tonsillitis in childhood. And if the need for

tonsillectomy is accepted in children, in cases of rheumatism and

other comparatively harmless diseases, should it not be obeyed all

the most urgently in tumour disease, especially as a causal

connection between focal and tumour events can no longer be denied?

During more than twenty-five years of clinical experience, I have

found that painful, enlarged tonsils and other symptoms of chronic

tonsillitis were evident in less than one-third of my cancer

patients. This suggested to me early on that the others might have

silent tonsillar foci in the form of atrophically-degenerating

tonsils. In these patients with subjectively quite unremarkable,

small, featureless tonsils, I examined their case histories, and

searched for silent tonsillar foci with the aid of the infra-red

toposcope, the electrodermatometer, and other methods. These

observations showed that, although most of them had never suffered

from tonsillitis, there were clear findings of a tonsillogenic focal

toxicosis. Whenever this was compatible with the condition of the

patient tonsillectomy was performed.

The findings in these healthy-looking tonsils were incomparably more

serious than even those in the obviously diseased tonsils removed in

usual ear-nose-and-throat practice. The tonsillar capsule always

proved to show callous thickening, and was so firmly adherent that

the tonsils could only be dissected out. In about five percent of

the patients there were fairly large peritonsillary or

retrotonsillary abscesses which had caused no symptoms. Far more

frequently there were several abscesses as well as cysts often the

size of cherries, full of liquid or condensed pus. The tonsillar

tissue was spongy, slushy, and had a putrid smell. Histological

examination of these tonsils always showed severe degenerative

changes, and in the majority of cases, a complete atrophy of

lymphoepithelial tissue.

All these " featureless " , clinically unremarkable, small tonsils

proved without exception to be foci of the most dangerous kind

which, like the silent dental foci, had probably been present and

unrecognized for years or even decades.

These pronounced positive effects of tonsillectomy make it mandatory

to always follow dentistry with treatment of the tonsils. In every

tonsillectomy performed in my clinic subsequently, we found through

biopsy severe or very severe destructive tonsillar processes with

more or less virulent tonsillogenic focal toxicosis.

The flourishing of patients after tonsillectomy is impressive and

has been demonstrated to my clinical satisfaction again and again.

Toxins constantly circulating in the blood in degenerative

tonsillitis cause a permanent spasm of the blood capillaries, seen

outwardly in the poorly perfused, pallid skin of many cancer

patients. After tonsillectomy and the consequent elimination of the

toxins and their neural effect, there was frequently an immediate

improvement of the circulation and a simultaneous improvement in the

general condition of the organism.

As already mentioned, before I began paying special attention to the

tonsils, I lost many incurable patients, not as a result of cancer,

but through acute cardiocirculatory failure. After introducing

tonsillectomy, such deaths became much rarer.

Toxic circulatory death, however, is only one of the many dangers

constantly threatening the life of the chronically sick. Phlebitis,

thrombosis, embolism, pneumonia, pleurisy, and cystitis all too

often complicate the course of treatment. In my experience, these,

too, became noticeably rarer with the introduction of routine

tonsillectomy.

Another observation, one I believe very important for cancer

treatment, is that often following tonsillectomy, in a large

proportion of patients, I have found that the tongue, not coated

before the tonsillectomy, later has a marked yellowish, brownish, or

blackish coating. Experience shows that the canalizing activity of

the intestinal mucous membranes is indicated by the surface

condition or coating of the tongue; a change in this coating

suggests that a previously blocked " gut filter " has been opened,

leading to the conclusion that tonsillar foci also disturb the

detoxicating and excretory activity of the gut. Restitution of this

function is of crucial importance in the treatment of cancer because

the largest proportion of the necrogenous toxins which develop

during tumour solution is excreted by this route.

The widespread opinion that degeneratively destroyed tonsils may

still be of importance for cancer patients as detoxicating and

excretory organs and must therefore be preserved at all cost has, in

my experience, been quite clearly refuted. Anyone, having seen the

degenerative destruction in the tonsillar tissue of cancer patients,

will be convinced that, on the contrary, these tonsils have

contributed in potentiating the virulence of the tumour milieu and

the defence deficiency. Tonsillectomy must be followed by

desensitization with vaccines obtained from dental and tonsillar

foci. Neural treatment of the tonsillar bed concludes this treatment.

The increased tendency towards thrombosis in cancer patients has

been reported by many clinicians. It can be assumed there is a

causal connection between the two diseases. My experience is that

this tendency is reduced by treatment of the head foci. I have

treated cancer patients who were being given anticoagulants

permanently because of their thrombosis; after treatment of the head

foci, as a rule, they were able to discontinue these drugs.

In some cancer patients there is a secondary finding of therapy-

resistant hypertension. Here too, following treatment of the head

foci, the blood pressure generally returns to normal.

The growth of the tumour itself is very often distinctly slowed down

by focus treatment. Now and then tumour development stops

altogether, and sometimes even regresses. The head foci therefore

seem not only to contribute to the development of secondary lesions,

to the origin of cancer disease, but also to exert a direct

influence on tumour growth by stimulating it. Many tumours seem to

respond to immuno-therapy only when foci have been removed. The

subsequent improvement in the body's defences clearly shows itself

in the response to immunizing vaccines.

Nevertheless, my own unhappy experience shows that with cancer

patients, foci treatment has generally been left to a very late

state. In the vast majority of the patients I have treated it is

quite clear that foci treatment should have been carried out years

before - and certainly long before the manifestation of the tumours.

That this was not done is a sad reminder that far too many doctors

and dentists fail to recognize a fundamental truism: untreated foci

can be linked to the development of cancer.

There are also other facets of our every day life-style that

indirectly play their part in how the disease can progress.

Wallace, I've known a lot of people who've been surgicized by Dr. Hussar, including my friend who died. I've known dozens of people who've travelled all over this country as well, looking for a decent dentist/surgeon. There's nobody I'd recommend right now, although perhaps a couple of hopefuls. I'd rather take my chances with a sympathetic oral surgeon and a good infectious disease doctor. My maxofacial specialist tried to help people with this problem for years, met all these guys and referred patients to them, and he will no longer recommend ANY one of them. Because almost every patient he referred has deteriorated after seeing them. Don't kid yourself Wallace. Really, this is serious business. penny Wallace Kingston

Alldegenerative diseases are treated not just Cancer.Sunny thoughts,WallaceFocus on FociThe "focus" has been described as a chronic, abnormal, local changein the connective tissue, capable of producing the most varieddistant effects beyond its immediate surroundings, and therefore inconstant conflict with local and general defence (Pischinger andKellner). By this definition, even a fully-healed scar may sometimesact as a focus, spreading disease to distant parts of the body. Butthe foci we shall now examine will be confined to those of the teethand tonsils - in my view, the most lethal of all foci.The emphasis I place on the removal of devitalised teeth andchronically-diseased tonsils is one of the better-known aspects ofmy work, but also one of the most criticised and misunderstood. I donot, for instance, recommend that healthy tonsils and teeth

beremoved from a healthy person. But I believe if they are diseased,they cause the body's natural resistance to be lowered, thus actingas an important contributory factor to tumour development. In thesecases, I insist on their removal.It is sometimes argued that to carry out such operations onseriously ill patients is unnecessarily cruel, even irrelevant.There are some unpleasant side-effects, but in my opinion, thebenefits - which I will describe - more than make up for anytemporary discomfort. It is further argued that in the cancerpatient, as much lymphatic tissue as possible should be preserved,and therefore tonsillectomy should not be carried out because even adiseased tonsil may retain some useful defence potential. I used tobelieve this was so. I do not any longer for reasons which will beevident.The beneficial results of tonsillectomy with cancer patients werefirst brought to my attention in

1953, and by chance. Atonsillectomy was performed on an incurable cancer patient in myclinic who had severe rheumatic pains and a long history oftonsillar disease. The operation was done to relieve the woman'spain, but it was remarkably successful in other ways as well:general toxic symptoms disappeared and, most important of all, herpathologically rapid pulse rate was reduced. Many cancer patientshave a high pulse rate, reaching 140 and even 160, and this alwaysleads to a poor prognosis, but in the case of this woman, it wasalmost normalised. Soon her tumour began to regress, and ultimatelyshe recovered from her cancer.This unexpected but welcome result encouraged me to arrange fortonsillectomies on two further patients with tonsillar ailments, whoalso had therapy-resistant cardiovascular disorders and toxicsymptoms. In these cases as well, following surgery, cardiovascularand many other symptoms virtually

disappeared. A positive "re-tuning" of natural defence and a certain inhibition of tomour growthwas also observed. This improved situation naturally allowed moretime for active immunotherapy to work.These early successes encouraged me to persevere withtonsillectomies. Before making them virtually obligatory in myclinic, forty percent of those who died there did so from heartattacks. Afterwards the figure dropped to five percent. This, Icontend, is incontrovertible proof that tonsillogenic toxins findtheir way into the bloodstream and eventually can cause, forinstance, a fatal myocardial disease. This is one reason why morepeople die from heart disease than from any other.In addition, my experience shows a direct connection between dentaland tonsillar foci and many of the illnesses responsible for earlydebilitation and untimely invalidising.It has long been generally accepted that head foci may give

rise toalmost all kinds of chronic, and certain acute diseases, such as-tomention a few-the manifold varieties of rheumatic and cardiovascularconditions. The removal of such foci is today a routine part in theconventional treatment of those diseases. However, the fact thathead foci are also a contributory cause in the development ofneoplasia, by lowering resistance, has received all too littleacknowledgement.The extent of the disease-provoking activity of a focus in distantparts of the body depends on whether the body is able to oppose thefocus with its own defence mechanism. As long as the focal situationis kept under control by the local defence mechanism, no focus-induced remote effects will arise. On the other hand, distanteffects will arise when the body's resistance has more or lessbroken down: control of head foci will then gradually collapse, andthere will be consequential gradual increase in

generalizedfocogenic intoxication. This will cause an inevitable deteriorationof the body's defence power with a concomitant promotion ofmalignant growth.Nearly everybody is confronted with dental problems at some time intheir life, and even the most scrupulous dental care cannotguarantee dental health. Endogenous factors, such as prenatal damageto the embryonic dental tissue, as well as exogenous influences,such as malnutrition and toxins, must essentially be heldresponsible for the great number of dental diseases, be they a weak,susceptible gingival, or gum; or teeth which are malpositioned,barreled or impacted; or, worse of all, a disposition to decay.Despite its porcelain-like surface, the crown enamel of the tooth isvulnerable to decay. Enamel defects develop especially in thegrooves of the crown or on the adjacent surface of neighbouringteeth which are difficult to clean.Decay is not painful

so long as it is confined to this nervelessenamel layer. The onset of a toothache is the first noticeable signthat the decay has invaded the dentine body of the tooth which,unlike the enamel, does have nerves. If this decay is allowed tocontinue, sooner or later the dentine will be completely penetrated,and the pulp inside the tooth will then become inflamed.As long as only the outer enamel and dentine are affected, the toothcan be preserved. But a tooth with an inflamed pulp can no longer besaved, and must be extracted without delay.In an understandable desire to preserve as many teeth as possible,to maintain the masticatory apparatus and its functions, attemptsare often made to save teeth which are in fact lost. There is awidespread conviction that this can be done without risk by thesterile evacuation of the pulp, and then refilling the cavity. Fordecades, the erroneous belief was held that, after such

treatment,the tooth is an isolated, lifeless thing, no longer involved in anyof the body's processes. This assumption was originally based on thepremise that the pulp cavity had only one orifice to the apex of theroot below, and by filling, this opening was sealed. However, thedentinal canal does not end in just one opening; instead, itresembles a tree with many branches which penetrate the tooth's bodyin all directions.The finer details of the entire dental structure have beenexhaustively studied by Austrian researchers. They have establishedthat there is a lively metabolic interchange between the interiorand exterior milieu of the tooth, and that this two-way processtakes place along many thousands of hyperfine, capillary canalsjoining the pulp cavity to the exterior surface of the tooth.Very careful conservation measures may possibly seal off thevertical central-medial-tube of the dentinal canal,

but it willnever reach the lateral "twigs" branching off from this tube. Norcan it ever close off the innumerable capillary canals. Some proteinwill always remain in these secondary spaces. If this proteinbecomes infected, toxic catabolic products will be produced, andconveyed into the organism.It was established in 1960 by W. Meyer (Goettingen) that withindevitalized teeth the dentinal canals and dental capillaries containlarge microbial colonies. The toxins produced by these microbes in atooth with a root filling can no longer be evacuated into the mouth,but must be drained away through the cross-connections and unsealedbranches of the dentinal and capillary canals into the marrow of thejawbone. From there, they are conveyed to the tonsils, and thus theflow systems of the body. In fact, the conservation treatment mayliterally convert a tooth into a toxin producing "factory".A devitalized tooth is no

longer able to perceive and controlinflammatory processes even when suppuration has invaded thesurrounding bone spaces of the tooth's socket; it rarely giveswarning signals, for instance through pain, and therefore there isnothing to induce the patient to have this dangerous toxic fociremoved. It then may be left to develop its devastating effect onthe organism for decades or even for a lifetime.When the inflammation spreads to the marrow of the tooth socket, itcan cause osteomyelitis. Its further course is determined by whetherand for how long the local defence is able to keep the focaldisturbance under control.If the body's local resistance is intact, the inflammation isenclosed by a capsule of connective tissue known as the dentalgranuloma. This membranous cyst prevents its toxic contents fromspreading into the organism. Radiographs of these teeth showgranuloma cysts as more or less marked

transparencies at the apex ofthe root. This type of tooth is called X-ray positive.If the body's local resistance is weakened to such an extent thatthe inflammatory process cannot be encapsulated by the granulomacyst, the toxins will be able to advance unhindered into the marrowspaces, the tonsils, and into the body. In this case, it is proofthat - as stressed by Pischinger and Kellner - the organism hasbecome largely incapable of reaction. Radiographs of these teeth asa rule show no transparencies, and are therefore called X-raynegative.In my cancer patients, I have found that such non-encapsulated foci -that is those who show X-ray negative - were particularly common,as one would expect from people whose body resistance has beenlowered.Today there is general agreement that dental foci should be clearedaway, and it has become usual to diagnose them by X-ray.Unfortunately, only some of the dental

foci can be discovered bythis means. Encapsulated foci can be recognized only if largeenough, and if not concealed by the tooth's shadow. And definite X-ray signs are much rarer in non-encapsulated osteomyeliticprocesses. It is therefore the most dangerous of all dental fociwhich most frequently prove X-ray negative. Even with X-ray positivedental film, only those foci can be recognized which happen to besituated outside shadows. Since X-ray negative foci often escapetreatment - and they are the ones the body has failed to resisteffectively - they can continue to develop their destructive effectsunhindered.My clinical experience has produced evidence of a causal connectionbetween foci and tumour development, and in this respect, theresults obtained with the aid of an infra-red test are especiallysignificant.Any inflammatory disease focus creates on its corresponding skinsurface a pathological increase

of infra-red emission; the higherthe activity of the focus, the more pronounced it is. Using an infra-red sensitive instrument (Schwamm's infra-red toposcope), theintensity of this emission can be continuously monitored andmeasured. Observation shows a close interrelation between the infra-red emission of head foci and that of the neoplasial region. Thatis, after treatment, a decrease in the infra-red activity of dentalfoci was as a rule accompanied by a decrease in infra-red emissionover the tumour areas.From this it is clear that the advisable treatment for devitalizedteeth is extraction.But even this is not always enough. My experience has further shownthat also living teeth may sometimes be so damaged that theirpathogenic potential almost equals that of devitalized teeth. Forinstance, latent chronic pulpitis may arise in a tooth that appearsoutwardly healthy, thus having a focal effect.The

diagnosis and treatment of dental foci remains generallyunsatisfactory. A survey conducted at my clinic found that, onadmission, ninety-eight percent of the adult cancer patients hadbetween two and ten dead teeth, each one a dangerous toxinproducing "factory". Very often we are confronted with X-raynegative dead teeth, root remnants, and residual ostitis which hadnot been diagnosed and therefore had not been removed.Only total, thorough dental treatment will really succeed in givingthe body's defence a chance. In addition to X-ray diagnosis, it istherefore necessary to use other diagnostic aids, such as infra-redtechniques, tests, to estimate tooth vitality and periostealresistance, and other electrometric methods.The diagnosis of foci in teeth had been greatly improved by electro-acupuncture. It is now possible to differentiate foci not only withregard to their type and position, but also to their virulence

andpathogenic efficacy. The result of focus treatment can consequentlybe observed and improved, before, during, and after dentistry, to anextent never known before (Kramer).If total treatment is to be performed, it is necessary to remove notonly any devitalized teeth but also any hidden dental foci remainingin the jaw.Further, total removal of devitalized teeth and their roots must notbe the end of the dentist's activities. Each alveolus - the tooth'ssocket in the jaw - should be radically cleared down to the healthybone. In that way the development of the residual ostitis or of acystoma may be prevented. It is not only the tooth which may be afocus, the but the adjacent tooth-fixing apparatus as well.There are four different ways by which dental foci - and indeed allfoci - can affect the organism and contribute to the development ofsecondary damages:1. The "neural" way of affecting the

organism.When a focus develops anywhere in the transit tissues, themesenchyme, the process is centripetally projected from the terminalneural organs around the irritated area, along the neural ducts, upto the corresponding control cells within the central nervoussystem. The irritation originating from a focus can, under certainconditions, trigger off the mechanism of a neural dystrophy - a slowdegeneration - which may show itself in localized effects in otherareas, but also in a generalized dystrophic disturbance.In the 1950s it was shown that these manifestations are based ondepolarizing processes in the affected neural cells, and in thecorresponding tissues of the body's periphery (Fleckenstein andErnsthausen). By elimination of the focus, the affected tissues maybe repolarised. The most striking example of this repolarisation iscalled "second-phenomenon".Ferdinand Huneke, the founder of

neural therapy whose remarkablecontribution in this regard we shall look at in detail later,discovered over forty years ago that injection of a localanaesthetic near a primary focus may immediately remove any symptomsof distant disease induced by the focus. This effect - the second-phenomenon - usually takes place only a few seconds after theanaesthetic injection, and lasts for hours, days, or even for alifetime. Naturally the improvement occurs only in those regionsinfluenced by the injected focus. Nevertheless, the measure hastherefore a remarkable diagnostic value as well.Since neural therapy only neutralizes the neural effect of a focus,the focus itself must, of course, be removed after such treatment,in order to eliminate its latent toxic or allergenetic action.Conversely, any focal surgery must be followed by desensitizing andneural-therapeutic measures.The only exceptions to this rule are, for

instance, featurelessscars or other spots with no inflammatory change which produce onlyneural distant effects without at the same time causing any toxic,microbial, or allergic secondary phenomena.2. The "toxic-way" of affecting the organism.The toxic activity of odontogenic foci is probably far more perilousfor the organism than their neural effects. The mechanism of thisdistant toxic activity, as well as the characteristics of the toxiccompounds involved, have been largely ascertained.Odontogenci compounds are the gangrenous contents of an inflamedpulp cavity and its adjoining spaces. It consists of detritus anddecaying, formerly vital substrates which have been necrobioticallyaltered - commonly found in tissues destroyed by inflammation,liquefaction and microbial putrefaction. Thus there can be littledoubt that they are genuine necrogenous toxins, including forinstance autologous proteinic and

higher-molecular fission productsresulting from enzyme cleavage and other biogenic conversions.The identity and chemical struction of certain of the biogenicamines were mainly clarified in the 1950s by Schug-Koesters, Hiller,Gaebelein and others of the University of Munich. Following similarfindings in America, the metabolic and exchange processes in soliddental structures were further investigated by the German researcherSpreter von Kreudenstein. He showed that drugs injectedintravenously were, four to five hours later, discernible within theintradental capillary ducts or even devitalized teeth, and in aconcentration only slightly lower than in the blood.That endodental exchange may also take place in the oppositedirection has been reported by Bartelstone (USA) and Djerassi(Bulgaria). If radio-iodine, I-131, is deposited in an evacuatedpulp cavity which is then sealed off with a filling, the iodine

willappear in the thyroid some twenty hours later, as can bedemonstrated by taking a scintograph of the thyroid region.Similarly, dyes can be washed out of a sealed pulp cavity.All these findings prove conclusively that within solid dentalstructures, there may proceed an unimpeded substantial interchangein either direction. Consequently, odontogenic toxins, wherever theymay have been produced, are able to diffuse and circulate within theorganism.The pathogenic significance of these "endotoxins" has beeninvestigated by the German study group of Eger-Miehlke. Theyexamined the changes in healthy experimental animals after injectionof accurately defined, minimal quantities of the endotoxins from anodontogenous granuloma.A single injection of a minimal dose seemed to develop a defence-activation effect. But after repeated injections, there was severeliver damage, and the animals died within weeks. Apart

from thefatal liver damage, inflammatory and degenerative changes were foundin all other organs, especially in the joints, muscles, and bloodvessels.These results brought clear experimental proof for the first timethat focogenic toxins act as causal agents for severe diseases inanimals corresponding to similar chronic conditions in man.The most dangerous of all odontogenous toxins are undoubtedly thethio-ethers, for instance dimethylsulfide. In a series of testsperformed at my clinic, it was observed that patients withodontogenous and tonsillar foci had a heightened level ofdimethylsulfide in their blood. After intensive treatment of thefoci, this level returned to normal in just a few days.Thio-ethers are closely related, both in their structure and theireffect, to mustard gas and other poison gases used in the FirstWorld War. The extreme toxicity of the poison gases and thio-eitherscan be

attributed to the following properties:They are weakly basic, therefore "electro-negative", and thus theyare deposited particularly in "electro-positive" cells such as thoseof the transit tissues as well as those of the defensive tissues.They are soluble in the lipids, and therefore have a pronouncedtendency to enrich themselves in the lipoid-containing cellularstructures, especially in mitochondria.These subcellular organelles, attached to their lipoid membranes,contain the enzymatic structures responsible for the maintenance ofaerobic metabolism - a precondition for full functioning power inall the body's cells and tissues. If these indispensable units aredamaged, the most serious consequences will follow. Because they arethe most vulnerable cellular organelles, mitochondria are afavourite and almost exclusive target for thio-ethers. The action ofthio-ethers is effected in three main

ways:Since thio-ethers tend to combine with electro-positive metal ionsand many bio-elements which act as co-effectors or activators ofnumerous enzymes of absolutely vital importance, and as our present-day average diet is deficient in essential substrates such asvitamins and bio-metals, this deficiency is enhanced. Much of thedaily intake of bio-metals, usually deposited in the fluids of afocally affectd organism, will be made permanently ineffective; themore foci, the greater will become the deficiency.Thio-ethers are "partial" antigens, haptens, and thus they also tendto combine with the normal proteins in the body, "denaturising"them. Such denatured proteins become "non-self" agents which thebody must deal with as such. The production of antibodies adapted tothe situation will be provoked, and they will home in on the targetantigens wherever they are. The process of "auto-aggression" will beset in

motion: self-destruction of agents alien to the organism.Extensive structural cellular damage will result, increasing withage.The famous biologist, Otto Warburg, twice winner of the Nobel Prize,has shown that aerobically-blocked cells - as caused by thio-ethers -will increase their anaerobic metabolism in an attempt to maintaintheir vigour. In doing so, they acquire the characteristics ofmalignant cells. Therefore, chemical agents capable of inactivatingthe aerobic process while increasing the anaerobic process areusually classed as carcinogenous compounds.Druckrey (Heidelberg) found inter alia that transformation of anormal cell into a malignant cell requires a certain quantity of acarcinogen -the carcinogenic minimum dose. It does not matterwhether this quantity is supplied in a single dose or in a number ofsmaller doses, because the toxic effects of each dose are stored,and accumulate without loss. The

carcinogens held primarilyresponsible for the development of spontaneous cancer in man arethose:Which inhibit the aerobiosis even in minimal quantities without atthe same time immediately destroying the cell, and, which areconstantly present in the organism in this minimal concentration ofeither endogenous or exogenous origin; they can therefore accumulateduring the normal life expectancy gradually and unnoticeably untilthe total quantity necessary for malignisation is reached.There is hardly a carcinogen which so completely fulfils theseconditions as do thio-ethers. Incessantly, from the moment the pulpis removed, hour by hour, year by year, minimal amounts of thesemost virulent of all the odontogenous toxins will be released intothe circulation - minimal doses, but nevertheless sufficient to moreor less totally paralyse the aerobic action of the cell.The nervous system is thus doubly affected by

focal intoxication.Firstly, by the increasing destruction of the neural ducts whichmediate between the control centers and the peripheral areas, thussometimes initiating neurogenic dystrophy. And secondly, by theimmediate intoxication of neural cells caused by the toxinsspreading through the liquid vehicles of the flow systems, such asthe blood and lymph.The more mitochondria a cell contains, the more it will be damagedby the enzyme-inhibiting effect of thio-ether compounds. Thereforeit is the vital organs - the liver, nervous system, endocrineglands, heart, and reticuloendothelial system - whose cells mayconsist of up to one-fifth of mitochondria, that are primarilyaffected. Apart from disturbing regulatory control, odontogenoustoxins will also cause additional damage almost throughout the body.Naturally, the higher the book-level of focogenous toxins, the moresevere will be their effect.The close

interlacing of the lymphatic and endocrine systems in thehead, make it unavoidable that brain cells are more intensivelytoxified by the circulating focogenous agents and may sufferparticularly heavy damage. The lymph ducts of the head region joinWaldeyer's tonsillar ring, and if there is such congestion, wastefluids will be pressed through the porous base of the skull into thelymphatic spaces of the brain. Toxogenous changes, especially withinautonomic nuclei, are regularly found in cancer patients, asverified in the 1930s by Muehlmann (USSR), and they may be aconsequence of a life-long inhibition of cerebral aerobiosis due tofocogenous intoxication.The cerebral damage (diencephalosis) and the subsequent loss ofvitality in cancer patients is accompanied by the number of othersymptoms. The emission of hypothalamic energy impulses, recordableby a Voll's electro-acupuncture device, are reduced in patients

withfocal disease. The autonomic vigour is relaxed, creating "regulationrigidity": carcinomas tend to parasympathicotonic derailment; insarcomas and systemic diseases, as a rule the opposite is found -sympathicotonic derailment (Regelsberger, Gratzl-, Rilling etal). the diurnal, circadian regulation of the acid-base balance islost (Sander). At the same time, there will exist a distinctinhibition of other diurnal control functions, for instance of bloodsugar, cholesterol, and mineral metabolism, and many other metabolicparameters are greatly restricted (Hinsberg).The lack of vigour and control efficiency is not, of course, withouteffect on the patient's psychic condition. Vegetative disorder istherefore generally accompanied by neurasthenic dystonia -characterized by the diminishing vitality and autonomic instability.3. The "allergic" way of affecting the organism. The toxic effectsof thio-ethers

overlap those caused by higher-molecular odontogenoustoxins as already described.Antibodies are formed to fight these substances, eventually leadingto the destructive processes in toxified cells. Since the organ-destroying antibodies or defence enzymes are excreted by thekidneys, they can be diagnosed in the urine by the abderhalden test.In this way we can precisely deduce, in most cases, which organshave suffered secondary damage (Abderhalden, Dyckerhoff et all).The extent of secondary lesions can also be demonstrated indirectlyby vaccine treatment. Using desensitizing vaccines made fromfocogenous agents, reactions are caused in regions affected bydistant focal effects which may become evident in regional as wellas general symptoms.It is thus clear that the development of cancer disease is, in moreways that one, closely linked with focal events.4. The "bacterial" way of affecting the

organism.Bacterial dissemination from primary dental foci as a rule takesplace with barely perceptible symptoms, and may be followed by theformation of "secondary foci" in other regions. These include, interalia, foci in the paranasal sinuses, gall-bladder, appendix,prostate, and renal pelvis.Above all, bacterial dissemination tends to produce microfoci ormicrothrombi in veins, and they in turn have a tendency tothrombosis or thrombophlebitis, possibly with concomitant embolism.Thrombophlebitis and thrombosis, so common in cancer patients, andgenerally regarded as resulting from disordered metabolism, are duenot only to the dyscrasia of those patients, but also to themanifold effects of dental foci.Shakow (Moscow), in collaboration with several clinics, has carriedout an interesting investigation involving more the 1200 youngpupils at a boarding school. Over a period of six years, it was

seenthat students with devitalized teeth had three times as manyillnesses as those with healthy dentition. By removing devitalizedteeth in these young patients, up to eighty percent of theirillnesses were cured.We have now seen how decisively the entire organism is affected bydental foci not properly treated, and what catastrophic resultsdestruction of the pulp may entail. Dentists must, therefore, bearin mind that there is no root treatment which does not inevitablyproduce foci.The dentists' task is only secondarily cosmetic; primarily it mustbe preventive and curative. The over-riding consideration must notbe conservation of the tooth but preservation of its vitality. Ifthis is impossible, even the most beautiful crown must not delude usthat the lifeless tooth beneath is anything other than a "corpse ina golden coffin", whose decomposition toxins slowly but surely aredestroying the organism

(Bircher-Benner).Other foci in the jaw, for instance ostitis, cysts, foreign bodies,gingivitis, and malposition of teeth may also develop focal effects.It goes without saying that these foci and centers of irritationmust be removed.The dentist should always remember that he has a vital role toprevent the development of chronic illness and, most important ofall, to decisively reduce the hazard of cancer.Now let us turn to tonsillar foci.Chronically inflamed tonsils are primary head foci which sometimeshave an even more damaging effect on the organism as a whole thandental foci. They can participate in the development of chronicillness, including cancer, by the four ways already described fordental foci: by neural, toxic, allergic, and bacterial means. Thereare also similar connections between the development of cancer andtonsillar foci as there are between cancer and dental foci.

Forinstance, after removing the tonsils, there is a decrease of infra-red radiation over the tumour, and sometimes even a shrinking of thetumour.The three tonsils in man, that is, the naso-pharyngeal tonsil, oradenoid, and the two tonsils proper, the palatine tonsils in thepockets between the anterior and posterior palatine arches in theback region of the mouth, together with other seeminglyinsignificant lymphoepithelial organs, form Waldeyer's tonsillarring.The tonsils are excretion organs by which the lymphocytes, microbes,toxin-laden lymph, and other matter, are discharged (Roeder). Evenin healthy people, the tonsils may contain plugs - sometimes wronglydescribed as pus - which consist mainly of fatty acids, cholesterol,and other slag substances clearly characterizing them as excretion.The pale-coloured plugs form in the shallow depressions on thetonsils' surface - the tonsillar crypts - and are

expelled into theoral cavity and swallowed. The excretions of the tonsils may alsocontain dental toxins.The tonsillar crypts have been described as the places where thephysiologically obligatory bacterial flora are hatched. This floracolonises the mucous membranes of the nose and throat and the otherair passages. The tonsils also produce antibodies, and undesirablemicrobes and their toxins are rendered harmless. Thus they have animmunizing or detoxicating purpose and must be regarded as afunctional analogue of the lymph organs of the intestinal mucousmembrane, and, like the latter, as an important part of the body'sdefence system.Healthy tonsils have a pale, pink, surface, and are normally almondor bean-sized. Their size and reaction capacity are determined notonly by functional demands and loads, but also to some extent byeach individual's inherited constitution. With an inheriteddisposition to

lymphatic diathesis, due mainly to heavy hereditaryinfection, there is regularly found a congenital enlargement orhyperplasia of the tonsils. This is always accompanied by anincreased disposition to inflammatory reactions. Inflammatoryreactions are also caused by their physiological function. Anormally subliminal, and therefore symptomless tonsillitis, thusbelongs to the "normal bodily state of man" (Leuscher).Whenever large quantities of toxic and waste substances have to beexcreted, the blood perfusion and inflammatory activity of thetonsils will increase. This state is often accompanied by painfulswelling and reddening of the tonsils, and is described, dependingon its subsequent course, as acute, sub-acute, or if occurringrepeatedly, chronic tonsillitis.I shall now concentrate on chronic, and especially on degenerativetonsillitis, because, under certain conditions, dangerous focalprocesses develop from

it which are of causal importance for theorigin of all chronic illnesses, including cancer.Although each case of chronic tonsillitis is due to the samemechanism, it is possible to distinguish between three differentgroups. The first group includes those chronic tonsillitis caseswhich arise in healthy tonsillar tissues capable of response,following frequent attacks of acute tonsillitis, or angina; theyhave been called upon to repeatedly react to infective irritation,and to excrete toxins. Each new attack leads to an increase involume, perfusion, and activity. They are then in a high state ofreadiness for defence. But if such inflammations occur withincreasing frequency, the tonsils gradually lose their reactioncapacity and defensive power, and atrophy. Too much has been askedof them.The second group includes those tonsillar foci which develop undercertain conditions from congenitally enlarged or

hyperplastictonsils. This kind of hyperplasia can be so extensive that thefauces are completely obstructed. Unfortunately it is still commonpractice to reduce their size by partially lopping off thesehyperplastic tonsils. The tonsils are thereby deprived of theshallow depressions - the crypts - so indispensable to theirpurpose; the excretory function cannot take place without an intactsurface with open crypts. After a tonsillotomy lopping-offoperation, the remaining crypts are always narrowed or closed byscar tissue, the substances to be excreted are cut off from theirair supply (Voss), and are therefore un-aerobically decomposed withthe formation of toxic decomposition products. It follows thatlopping-off should not be performed. These tonsils should be totallyremoved, even if they are not yet causing any recognizable distanteffects.The third group of tonsillar foci, in cancer patients the mostcommon,

comprises the seemingly healthy, but small, congenitallyunderdeveloped and functionally deficient tonsils. A history oftonsillar symptoms is usually absent in these patients. Theirtonsils are "unremarkable" , but firmly fused with their base, andcannot easily be dislodged.What these three main groups of chronic tonsillitis have in commonis a focal-toxigenic effect progressively increasing with age, and atendency sooner or later to atrophy. This process will beaccelerated if there is an additional and continuous passiveexposure to odontogenous toxins.The close connection between teeth and tonsils was proven when itwas observed that Indian ink injected into a sealed dental cavityappeared as spots on the tonsillar surface in about twenty to thirtyminutes. These experiments showed that pathogenic substances fromthe jaw region, including toxins from devitalized teeth, areconducted to the lymphatic tonsillar

ring, there to be detoxicatedand excreted. Besides their "natural" physiological load, thetonsils are thus additionally exposed to continuous attack byodontogenous toxins provoked by the devitalisation of teeth.We have already seen how dangerous these dental toxins are. It isinevitable that they eventually have a severe effect on the activelymphoepithelial tonsillar tissue. So long as the cells destroyed bydental toxins can be regeneratively replaced, the functionalcapacity of the tonsils will not be seriously impaired. But if thedestroyed lymphoepithelial tissue is increasingly replaced byinactive scar tissue - by tissue unable to execute its defencefunction - the excretion, detoxication, and defence capacity of thetonsils will progressively diminish and eventually be extinguished.With the loss of reactive lymphatic tissue, the tonsils lose theirability to give warning signs by inflammation; they not longer

offerthis usual signal for trouble. According to Kellner, this lack ofsymptoms signifies a definite inability to continue to furtherreaction. In such tonsils, the attacking toxins are no longerexcreted; on the contrary, they are channeled into the organism viathe vascular system.It goes without saying that this development will take place farmore quickly when less lymphoepithelial tissue is still present. Incongenital tonsillar deficiency, there is, a priori, so littleactive tissue that its complete destruction can in certain cases beaccomplished in a relatively short time. Normally developed, orhyperplastic tonsils if not lopped off, will withstand the dentalinfection considerably longer. But they too will sooner or latersuccumb.The final stage of all three forms of chronic tonsillitis istherefore "atrophically degenerating tonsillitis". On medicalexamination, the findings here are small,

atrophic tonsils whichshow no sign of inflammation but, unlike healthy tonsils, theycannot be dislodged by the surgeon's spatula. When removing them,they have to be dissected from their bed, so firmly fused are theyto the surrounding tissue. Whereas with healthy tonsils the colourof the anterior palatine arch does not differ from that of the oralmucous membrane, in atrophically degenerating tonsillitis there is abluish discoloration of the palatine arch. The uvula is mostlygelatinously thickened. The tonsils themselves, however, may stillappear externally healthy.Even normal-sized or enlarged tonsils may already have extensivedegenerative changes and consist mainly of hardened scar tissuewhich of course is unable to neutralize toxins. There then followsthe formation of usually quite latent and painless chronic tonsillarand retrotonsillar abscesses. Here we find the highly pathogenicbeta-haemolytic streptococci

of Group A - responsible for manychronic illnesses, and whose toxins spread through the organism andcontribute to the development of secondary lesions, of resistancedeficiency, and of the tumour milieu.Apart from the directly allergenic and toxinic activity of theseproducts, continuous toxic attack always leads to an alteration ofthe tonsillar (lymphoid) cells. Their proteinic structure is soaltered that the organism is induced to form antibodies againstthese, its own, cells which have become foreign to it, antibodieswhich finally turn against healthy lumphocytes as well, and thusconsiderably weaken the lymphatic defence system of the wholeorganism.With the decline of the active tonsillar tissue, its biologicalpower is also exhausted. Active detoxication, toxicopexis, andexcretion of toxic substances and wastes through the tonsils is nolonger possible. In the tonsillar crypts, the

physiologicallyessential symbionts are no longer hatched. Instead, dangerouspathogenic organisms are able to spread through the body because theimmuno-activity of the tonsillar barrier is lost with thedestruction of the lymphoepithelial tissue.When the dental toxins are no longer neutralized and excreted, theywill infiltrate even the last remnants of functioning tonsillartissue and cause them to die. This creates high- and low-molecularnecrotoxins which, as we have already seen, are similar or identicalto odontogenous toxins. Toxin formation is inevitably increased.All these toxins, no longer inactivated in the tonsillar ring orexcreted, have to be conducted to other "vents" by way of the bloodcirculation. Toxinaemia and secondary lesions are increased, and thehumoral milieu and the body's resistance deteriorates further. Theprocess has become a deadly vicious circle.Since degenerated and chronically

inflamed tonsils are suchdangerous toxogenic foci, like dead teeth and other dental foci,they must be removed. With previously lopped tonsils, there is alsoa clear case for tonsillectomy.The focogenous toxicopathy caused by necrotic-atrophic tonsillitisis of course far more dangerous than the toxi-infectious effect of ahyper-reactive tonsillitis in childhood. And if the need fortonsillectomy is accepted in children, in cases of rheumatism andother comparatively harmless diseases, should it not be obeyed allthe most urgently in tumour disease, especially as a causalconnection between focal and tumour events can no longer be denied?During more than twenty-five years of clinical experience, I havefound that painful, enlarged tonsils and other symptoms of chronictonsillitis were evident in less than one-third of my cancerpatients. This suggested to me early on that the others might havesilent tonsillar foci in

the form of atrophically-degeneratingtonsils. In these patients with subjectively quite unremarkable,small, featureless tonsils, I examined their case histories, andsearched for silent tonsillar foci with the aid of the infra-redtoposcope, the electrodermatometer, and other methods. Theseobservations showed that, although most of them had never sufferedfrom tonsillitis, there were clear findings of a tonsillogenic focaltoxicosis. Whenever this was compatible with the condition of thepatient tonsillectomy was performed.The findings in these healthy-looking tonsils were incomparably moreserious than even those in the obviously diseased tonsils removed inusual ear-nose-and-throat practice. The tonsillar capsule alwaysproved to show callous thickening, and was so firmly adherent thatthe tonsils could only be dissected out. In about five percent ofthe patients there were fairly large peritonsillary

orretrotonsillary abscesses which had caused no symptoms. Far morefrequently there were several abscesses as well as cysts often thesize of cherries, full of liquid or condensed pus. The tonsillartissue was spongy, slushy, and had a putrid smell. Histologicalexamination of these tonsils always showed severe degenerativechanges, and in the majority of cases, a complete atrophy oflymphoepithelial tissue.All these "featureless", clinically unremarkable, small tonsilsproved without exception to be foci of the most dangerous kindwhich, like the silent dental foci, had probably been present andunrecognized for years or even decades.These pronounced positive effects of tonsillectomy make it mandatoryto always follow dentistry with treatment of the tonsils. In everytonsillectomy performed in my clinic subsequently, we found throughbiopsy severe or very severe destructive tonsillar processes withmore or

less virulent tonsillogenic focal toxicosis.The flourishing of patients after tonsillectomy is impressive andhas been demonstrated to my clinical satisfaction again and again.Toxins constantly circulating in the blood in degenerativetonsillitis cause a permanent spasm of the blood capillaries, seenoutwardly in the poorly perfused, pallid skin of many cancerpatients. After tonsillectomy and the consequent elimination of thetoxins and their neural effect, there was frequently an immediateimprovement of the circulation and a simultaneous improvement in thegeneral condition of the organism.As already mentioned, before I began paying special attention to thetonsils, I lost many incurable patients, not as a result of cancer,but through acute cardiocirculatory failure. After introducingtonsillectomy, such deaths became much rarer.Toxic circulatory death, however, is only one of the many dangersconstantly

threatening the life of the chronically sick. Phlebitis,thrombosis, embolism, pneumonia, pleurisy, and cystitis all toooften complicate the course of treatment. In my experience, these,too, became noticeably rarer with the introduction of routinetonsillectomy.Another observation, one I believe very important for cancertreatment, is that often following tonsillectomy, in a largeproportion of patients, I have found that the tongue, not coatedbefore the tonsillectomy, later has a marked yellowish, brownish, orblackish coating. Experience shows that the canalizing activity ofthe intestinal mucous membranes is indicated by the surfacecondition or coating of the tongue; a change in this coatingsuggests that a previously blocked "gut filter" has been opened,leading to the conclusion that tonsillar foci also disturb thedetoxicating and excretory activity of the gut. Restitution of thisfunction is of crucial importance

in the treatment of cancer becausethe largest proportion of the necrogenous toxins which developduring tumour solution is excreted by this route.The widespread opinion that degeneratively destroyed tonsils maystill be of importance for cancer patients as detoxicating andexcretory organs and must therefore be preserved at all cost has, inmy experience, been quite clearly refuted. Anyone, having seen thedegenerative destruction in the tonsillar tissue of cancer patients,will be convinced that, on the contrary, these tonsils havecontributed in potentiating the virulence of the tumour milieu andthe defence deficiency. Tonsillectomy must be followed bydesensitization with vaccines obtained from dental and tonsillarfoci. Neural treatment of the tonsillar bed concludes this treatment.The increased tendency towards thrombosis in cancer patients hasbeen reported by many clinicians. It can be assumed there is

acausal connection between the two diseases. My experience is thatthis tendency is reduced by treatment of the head foci. I havetreated cancer patients who were being given anticoagulantspermanently because of their thrombosis; after treatment of the headfoci, as a rule, they were able to discontinue these drugs.In some cancer patients there is a secondary finding of therapy-resistant hypertension. Here too, following treatment of the headfoci, the blood pressure generally returns to normal.The growth of the tumour itself is very often distinctly slowed downby focus treatment. Now and then tumour development stopsaltogether, and sometimes even regresses. The head foci thereforeseem not only to contribute to the development of secondary lesions,to the origin of cancer disease, but also to exert a directinfluence on tumour growth by stimulating it. Many tumours seem torespond to immuno-therapy only when foci

have been removed. Thesubsequent improvement in the body's defences clearly shows itselfin the response to immunizing vaccines.Nevertheless, my own unhappy experience shows that with cancerpatients, foci treatment has generally been left to a very latestate. In the vast majority of the patients I have treated it isquite clear that foci treatment should have been carried out yearsbefore - and certainly long before the manifestation of the tumours.That this was not done is a sad reminder that far too many doctorsand dentists fail to recognize a fundamental truism: untreated focican be linked to the development of cancer.There are also other facets of our every day life-style thatindirectly play their part in how the disease can progress.. © 1995-2005>> Back to topEnglishLast updated: 1/3/2006Copyright © 2005-2006 Issels Treatment.Privacy Policy | Contact Us |

I didn't have mine removed and they ended up infected too, so I think if they are impacted, removal is probably wise. Just be sure every hygenic precaution is taken and good antibiotic coverage and follow up care and x-rays to be sure no infection is created later on. Extra care with the removal is important too. penny Kate <KateDunlay@...> wrote: Hmm, my kids are approaching the age at which I had my wisdom teeth out. What'll I do if the dentist says theirs
