I was a fetus in the womb when my mother began a six month journey at Ohio State University's dental school semester guinea pig; they didn't realize she was pregnant when they began rebuilding her mouth, but 65 years ago, I've wondered if it mattered to them anyway. My mother was proud, encouraged by every dentist she ever saw, as to the quality of work done on her. I, as the middle daughter of 3 girls suffered health issues my entire childhood, yet seemed to exemplify an intelligence, wisdom and spiritual fortitude in spite of my overactive nervous system; I was unable to finish university due to my constant health issues. I have spent my life since my teens researching the medical field for answers, only to realize that the AMA-all the way route left me sicker, and early on I discovered holistic medicine benefits to use in tandem. It wasn't until many years later when I learned of my genetic mutation MTHFR that I began to get better and live a fairly normal life. However, I was left with a mouthful of mercury amalgams from my own childhood dental traumas, and a root canal in my 20's that was caused by my dentist who shaved down a crooked front tooth to even it out (I never had braces, and had one front tooth that was a bit sideways) only to discover that he drilled down to the nerve. What a nightmare that was. Needless to say, although I was successful at everything I put my mind to, I eventually went on disability due to my full body pain issues (diagnosed as fibromyalgia since they couldn't find another link to the many autoimmune diseases they tested me for over a 15 year period). I had to accept my infertility and have learned to manage my symptoms in order to live an acceptable life (thanks, mostly for the removal of all folic acid and the proper nutrient support I found). I have only been to a dentist for cleanings on occasion in the last 25 years out of total fear and disillusion. I have been completely intrigued by your articles on this subject, as I am about many of your topics. Knowing you are unable to answer every question posed to you, I wondered if you or anyone following would have any advice for me. I had been told to leave the amalgams alone as I was so sick at the time, and the leaching would have caused me more problems. I would like to scream to the mountaintops for want-to-be mothers to completely avoid folic acid and eat Folate, and do not have any dental work done during pregnancy. But, most of all, I thank God for giving me a blessed life as it is; I can only imagine what other kinds of deficiencies I might have had to carry through this life without His hand.

I highly suggest that you read the book “Judas Dentistry” by Robert Yoho MD(ret)

What a nightmare you have lived through, and yet, you keep striving for answers. I admire your grit and determination. The only advice I have to offer is to find a biological dentist near enough to you and see what they recommend.

This piece isn’t really about one dental procedure — it’s about what happens when an entire profession decides a question is closed before it’s actually resolved. Once that happens, the incentives flip and nobody wants to reopen it.

Whether you agree with every claim here or not, the core signal matters: hidden, low-grade infection and chronic inflammation can sit quietly in the body for years and show up as problems somewhere else. Teeth are part of the body, not separate from it, and any long-term intervention there deserves clear-eyed scrutiny, not blind trust.

If you’ve had root canals or ongoing health issues, it’s worth asking better questions, getting second opinions, and looking at the whole terrain — oral health, nutrition, immune function, and imaging methods.

The point isn’t fear. It’s informed choice and personal responsibility.

Now that the censorship is less than it was a few years ago, we are seeing information that the experts didn't want us to see. Now that we have seen it, we can't unsee it. Regardless of whether everything we see is true or not, there is a common theme: people hiding behind their credentials to tell the so-called not so educated that they know what us good for us better than we do and systematically transfer what little wealth we do have to them.

These people do know more than we do about some things and it is great that they share this information. However, there is a difference between using them to make our lives better and hiding information that we need to make an informed decision. What's worse is censoring those who ask questions and paying off the bureaucrats to force compliance.

They used a very sneaky mechanism, called insurance and that industry made it so that the only rational choice was to pay the experts to ruin our health. And it is difficult to live without insurance because of wealth extraction called taxes and fees. For the most part, we don't have a choice regarding these, but we do have the choice of not using the experts.

Now that information is less suppressed, it is easier to say no, knowing such a decision is the right one for the circumstances. It won't eliminate the taxes and fees, but it will stop the erosion of our financial position even with insurance: these risk managers have the obligation to say no to a procedure you already agreed to do, leaving you on the hook to pay for it. So the money is better spent on better quality food, and better lifestyle choices. However, saying no does obligate us to do our own research to find the best options.

Eileen, I get what you’re pointing to — once people start digging and comparing notes, it’s hard to go back to passive trust.

Where I land is this: use experts as tools, not as authorities over your life. They can bring training and experience you don’t have, but you still carry the final responsibility for your own body, your choices, and your money.

At the same time, the goal isn’t to swing to the other extreme and reject all care. It’s to ask better questions, get second opinions, look at risks and benefits, and make decisions that actually fit your situation. Insurance and billing systems can absolutely complicate things, so it makes sense to be deliberate about where your resources go — food, environment, prevention, and then targeted care when it’s truly needed.

Information flowing more freely is a net positive if we use it well: curiosity, verification, and personal responsibility working together.

This is an incredible article. I’m writing from the ancestral nutrition foundation, the publishers of all of Weston Price and Francis Pottingers’s works. Could we get your permission to share this?

Thank you,

Susie

Yes permission granted, thank you.

This is very interesting. I am 74 years old and was born when my mother was 40. When my mother was a young woman of 18 a doctor said all her teeth have to be extracted because of pyorrhoea. She did not have the money and did not do it. Even late in her seventies dentist always remarked on her exceptionally healthy teeth.

What a complete disaster! It only goes to expose the uselessness & incompetence of government medical licensing and medical quality control agencies and the bureaucracies that run them. All I can say is that access to knowledge such as this is the one blessing that has come from the aftermath of the Covid disaster of six years ago and the dangerous experimental genetic injectables that were deployed as a treatment. Those events exposed the festering corruption that appears to be embedded in the diseased hearts of the pharmaceutical and medical industries and their regulatory bodies. If it were not for the malfeasance involved in the Covid fiasco then I would not be reading articles like this one and would be none the wiser. I might add that I have had several root-canal treatments over a period of fifty years, and as far as I know, I have not suffered ill effect, so I must be one of the lucky ones in that regard.

Each tooth is related to an acupuncture meridian which is related to various organs, tissues and glands in the body on this particular meridian or "energy highway."

Glad you like it. I recently found the original video about root canals. I will publish it in my Substack, with the protocol for safe removal of root canals. I had several removed years ago by a holistic dentist who had also watched the video.

When I was around 13 I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled. My dentist told me to hold on to them and I still have them. In my 20's I saw a dentist for a checkup. He said my X-ray indicated a root from one of the wisdom teeth had broken off and was lodged in the gum. I went home and checked the teeth and all the roots were in tact. Close call!

Curious as to whether there is research concerning bodily disease and connection to dental crowns. If anyone knows, I’d appreciate any links to it.

Still searching to answers to my own health issues despite doing everything I can.

Toni's avatar

I am sitting here wondering the same thing about crowns, I have six of them. Each with a crack that has been filled in with one of those caulking type materials he referenced before encasing the majority of the tooth in metal. I have "fibromyalgia" and B12 deficiency. My most recent crown is in my upper jaw whose Roots extend into my sinus cavity. I can tell you if they ever recommend a root canal to me I'm going to just choose an extraction after everything I've read here and in a prior article on the same topic. I will choose the expense of the dental implant over the expense of my health.

I remember reading that every single cancer case was someone who had root canal’s. That’s was pre-Covid. Now I bet you can add Covid Vaccine to that statement. I have no idea what, or of any research that would back up that saying. It could have been just observation. But observation is a form of science.

This is so fascinating! I am very glad I gave up on the dentist a while ago, after replacing my amalgam fillings.

But I have a question. Does anyone know how long it will take for symptoms to develop? Is it immediate, or will it take years?

the movie Root Cause was pulled off netflix because of threats from the ADA.

I forget the author of the old book Mia Culpa that had his son pass after root canals that he performed.

SuzyF's avatar

Thanks again for this information! I learned a bit about root canals about 10 years ago...but this article had much more information. Weston Price was an amazing man! We need MORE like him!! And also, George Meinig...

Lynda Hill's avatar

Outstanding research and reading ! how fortunate are we to have access to information such as this. Thank you !

Doesn't Weston Price know that taking a substance, whatever it is and injecting it or implanting it in another animal or human causes sickness by BAD METHODS?

This is the same bullshit they pulled with virology, directly injecting garbage and claiming that caused the sickness.

No shit.

Cousin Clem's avatar

If you read the article, it states that he did the same experiment using healthy removed teeth like wisdom teeth and they produced no sickness. This is called a control. The control demonstrated that it wasn't the tooth itself under the skin but the bacteria within root canal teeth that caused the disease. And Weston Price is no longer with us so he can no longer comment on your question. But putting a tooth under the skin is a bit different than injecting ground spinal cord into a brain. Isn't it interesting that the same disease was demonstrated in the rabbit that was in the person whose tooth was extracted...and healthy teeth produced no disease?
