Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Greetings, The way I would handle it, is if I have lived with it for 7 years, I would continue to live with it. Some teeth just hurt, some of the time. I would look at what you are brushing with? I have extremely sensitive teeth, or had. We have now switched to using tooth soap, not paste and my teeth are much more comfortable. I did have teeth pulled, since I had no money for root canals and caps. The problem was that I lost so many teeth that I only could chew on one side of my mouth. I wound up with a TMJ. I had to put in a bridge, which capped two molars, one on each side. I swear I would gum my food before doing it again. My mouth was so temperature sensitive for two years, and I lived way up north then. Misery, total and complete. I had breast cancer at age 33, no root canals. No further problems with breast cancer but I do have an ongoing battle with melanoma. We use http://beewilde.com/ as a source of our tooth soap.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi, I pulled out 3 root canals, I have one left, but needed a chewing surface to work with. I did natural first and chemo and herceptin when I ran out of options, (Stage IV mets to lungs and vertebrae, ribs) I am currently in remission. I do believe removing amalgam and certain of the root canals, played a big role in the overall strengthening of my immune system. But you still need to be able to chew your food. Best wishes Fern [ ] Root Canals I've never had any dental work done. Pretty much, my teeth seem to be the only part of me that function well. However, I've had pain in one tooth when biting down for 7 years. I'm fairly certain it is cracked, yet no one can identify which tooth it is, and certainly, we can't find the crack. I will soon lose my insurance ('cause I'm living the American Dream of being an unemployed cancer patient...) and I want to take care of this tooth problem before I end up with a serious dental problem and no insurance. I have challenged my dentist to find the crack and we are going to do some tests next week. But if we do find the cracked tooth, what should I do? I can't actually pay for a crown, but it would be better than ending up with a dead tooth, right? Anyway, dental problems are foreign to me, so I'd like to ask the opinions of those in this group. I want to avoid the need for a root canal. How do I do that? I started a poll in the conventional treatment group I'm in just to see how many breast cancer patients had root canals prior to diagnosis. Only a handful have voted as of yet. But we're running about 60% did have root canals and 40% did not. In my readings, it says when diagnosed with cancer, get rid of the root canal teeth. But, as one woman asked, what is she supposed to do? She's had three root canals. One woman has had about five, I think she said. Are these women supposed to pull all those teeth? Again, I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks, ar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 In order to reach full remission for these inflammatory rheumatic diseases, it is necessary when using Dr. Brown's protocol to look for infection in the body other than just in the joints, and treat it at the same time. Root canals are just one place where infection can be found. For years we've cautioned this group not to have root canals, and if you already have them to consider the fact they may be the cause of your problem. I have several emails in my files from people who had marked improvement in their rheumatic disease after having their teeth with root canals removed. A friend of mine who is a dental surgeon told me of a case where he pulled a man's tooth with a root canal and his rheumatoid arthritis disappeared almost immediately! Be aware, many times you can have an infection from bacteria in a root canal and NOT be aware of it because it has gone systemic. http://www.tldp.com/issue/157-8/157rootc.htm Ethel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
