Root Canals

[Nathan Daniel]

I have just finished reading Charlotte Gerson's book about Gerson therapy. I have psoriasis and I have done a lot of fasting over the last few months. I have fasted before and the skin cleared up. This time it did not. I have shifted to 99% raw (I cook spinach and stew some fruits on rare occasions). I have decided to have the 3 root canals I have removed as quickly as possible. A root canal tooth was removed from a person with a chronic disease. The disease disappeared. The same tooth was then put in a lab rabbit. The same chronic disease then took off in the rabbit. They have to go.

So I will have them pulled (previously I had mercury amalgam fillings and had them taken out - with many ensuing health benefits).

I have three questions:

1. What does one put in the empty holes in the mouth that remain? Stainless steel implants? This is a grey area on the internet.
2. Does anyone know of an official worldwide directory of holistic dentists? - Ah I will try the Huggins Website - I need in the UK.
3. Does anyone know if one can do this on the NHS - ie the British Public health care system?

Please watch where you post a thread. This is not about eating raw live foods... it's "other health related".

thanks,

But how can you eat anything - whether raw food or otherwise - if you don't have teeth?

Hi Nathan ~ I don't have answers to your last 2 questions, but I had 2 root canals pulled earlier this year. I opted not to have implants but am having a bridge put in. This wasn't an easy decision because to facilitate the bridge, the teeth on each side have to be ground down and crowned. Well, one of them is already crowned, so I'll be having just 1 ground down. Another option is having a partial, but I didn't want to go that route.

I think I will go for zirconium implants - why did you go for the bridge over implants? Cost? Would you mind if we corresponded by email? My email is nathan@bluelotusesolutions.com

l spose you need false teeth or do what Dr Flora does, make smoothies, become juicarian or even become breatharian. Anyway, plenty of dudes don't have teeth man.

Hi Nathan ~ I sent you an email. When I had my root canal teeth extracted, I went to an oral surgeon about 6 hours away as he's the only one in WA State that will remove them plus the surrounding infected gum tissue vs only extracting the teeth themselves. One thing I thought was remarkable - afterwards, I had NO PAIN whatsoever. I was sent home with prescription pain meds, etc. and didn't need any of them. I was really (pleasantly) surprised at that. And one of the teeth was infected and had literally eaten (?) its way through my gum and bone into my sinus cavity - it all showed up on the xrays (I forget the name of the 'xrays' but they emitted little to no radiation - some type of thermography? I don't recall). *Ü*

Nathan,
NO TO TITANIUM IMPLANTS.
I sent you an email.
Any one reading this and considering Titatium implants do a google search on the dangers.
I am in the process of having two removed. I could write a book on this!
