97% of all Terminal Cancer Patients have Root Canals

[bev]

I had a bunch of root canals, but the good(?) news is that they all fell out 20 years ago when I hit menopause. No cancer so far and if I do get cancer, it'll more likely be because I've smoked for 53 years.

Your root canals "fell out?" How?

An interesting Q/A regarding the sterility of urine. I can't copy/paste from my phone, so if anyone is interested, just click on the link.

(Off-topic somewhat, but responsive to Terry's post up there a little ways.)

We will see, down the road, if the same thing happens to DENTAL IMPLANT PATIENTS!
That "gut feeling" NOT to get dental implants has kept me from them, because my gut feeling/warning has NEVER been wrong before.

Not any more. They use a curable poly-(something) for the filling, after closing the hole/actual nerve path through the tooth root(s) with either silver or gutta-percha points.

silver is a conductor of electricity, what are the steel rods in the teeth made of. There is a book out there called 'Is there a battery in your mouth?"

Son has them via USAF Dentist
Knocked out both front teeth on a skate board when he was 9
Had To wait till he was 25 before implants because it takes "that long" for a man jaw to set
Girls jaws set much younger

It's hard to know what to think about these studies any more, or anything the medical "authorities" say. The Dr who discovered that stomach ulcers were caused by bacteria and easily treated was almost drummed out of the profession for daring to go against the accepted "treatments" of the day. Decades later, he was found right, and ulcers are rarely talked about now.

Never had a root canal. Never had a cavity either (and I'm 60).
This is a case of correlation does not equal causation. What's the percentage of the population that has had root canals (or other dental work)?
Dental health, and infections, will affect your overall health; and a mouth infection can allow bacteria entry into the body that can follow-on infect things like the heart. Linking this issue to cancer is, I'm afraid, way to much of a stretch.

I have the same exact profile as you CH.

Every day in the United States alone, 41,000 of these dental procedures are performed on patients who believe they are safely and permanently fixing their problem.

What is this dental procedure?

The root canal.

More than 25 million root canals are performed every year in this country.

Root-canaled teeth are essentially "dead" teeth that can become silent incubators for highly toxic anaerobic bacteria that can, under certain conditions, make their way into your bloodstream to cause a number of serious medical conditions—many not appearing until decades later.

Most of these toxic teeth feel and look fine for many years, which make their role in systemic disease even harder to trace back.

Sadly, the vast majority of dentists are oblivious to the serious potential health risks they are exposing their patients to, risks that persist for the rest of their patients' lives. The American Dental Association claims root canals have been proven safe, but they have NO published data or actual research to substantiate this claim.
