O/T -- root canal removed

[Guest guest]

Background

I had a root canal placed about a year ago, (I think Feb 2007) due in

part to a emergency dental trip when an amalgam filling broke. The

Butcher of Berkeley (Dentist) told me he would use a rubber dam (did

not) and I think used a jackhammer to remove the filling

This was right in the period where I was nuttier than a fruitcake due

to bad protocol (cilantro/edta/chorella and heavy diet of sulphur foods)

SO my amalgam fillings came out In november and I have been chelating

since (6+ months)

Around the time I had my amalgam fillings out the root canal would

throb at night..I do not know if the amalagam drilling set off the

infection noted below or not: MY guess is it was always there..IF I

felt this bad post root canal removal and with the swelling and body

ache, I shudder to think how this would have affected me if I left this

poison (root canal) in longer

I went to this NP who is also a dentist in Sebastopol (super guy DR

Lipelt). He recommends and provides 3 weekly treatments of homeopathic

injections into the cavitiation areas and root canals to lessen the

bacteria load. He said removing a root canal/cleaning out a cavitation

without these injections can sometimes overload the body with toxins

when the root canal was removed. I belive his treatment worked as my

root canal stopped throbbing after the second injection which tells me

the infection was lessened

SO yesterday I had a Dr Jjarvis in Santa remove my root canal

No pain during removal but about 3 hours later it was like a truck hit

my head..PAIN and swelling below by right jaw and throbbing. IT lasted

most of last night and I believe the infection/discharge is now being

disbursed out of my body as i have an incredible body ache

DR Jarvis the extraction dentist called me at 9:00 pm last night and I

told him about the swelling and throbbing under my jaw. He said " well

you had a pretty good infection going on at the base of the root canal "

He had told me during the surgery that almost every root canal he

removes has some level of infection

Its funny though... its a different pain today..like a bad flu ache

that I can only hope is my body getting rid of all the crud that was

tied to this root canal

Dr Lipelt (the NP in Sebastopol) has provided me some homeopathic stuff

which I think is helping. He also provides homepathic tretament to take

to the extraction dentist for him to inject diuring the extraction/

surgery

I know it is hard to do everything necessary to get better from these

toxins that have accumulated in us due to hevay metals and other tooth

related matters. BUT in my case anyway I think having these

cavitaions/root canals removed will really help

I'll let you know when the pain stops
