Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm no expert on the subject, but a reasonable view is probably this -- root canals can undoubtedly put a strain on your immune system, particularly if that immune system is already compromised, and particularly if the root canal is not done right. A well-done root canal in conjunction with a pretty healthy immune system is probably going to be all right. If your other systems are functioning well, and you'd like to go ahead, your next step is to research root canals to make sure they're done right. There's a German holistic dentist, Dr. Hans Lechner, who specializes in root canals. He wrote a book, in English, all about root canals, all the potential problems, and how to do them right. It's pretty technical, and expensive, but if I were looking into root canals I know I would buy it and read it. You can probably find him and his book by searching google. If you can't find him, add the word " skasys " to your search (it's an energetic diagnostic system he came up with, a variation on muscle testing -- Mercola used to be very into it).
