Do you have a chronic degenerative disease? If so, have you been told, “It’s all in your head?” Well, that might not be that far from the truth… the root cause of your illness may be in your mouth.

There is a common dental procedure that nearly every dentist will tell you is completely safe, despite the fact that scientists have been warning of its dangers for more than 100 years. 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.


"Junk Science" or Legitimate Food for Thought?

Liza...is this for real? As I was reading the link I started to question if this is someone trying to sell a new theory or product.

I did too, Brian. But I read through the article and it certainly raised some questions. I'm skeptical but thought it was worth sharing. The original source is from Real Pharmacy. Take it for what it's worth, I guess..

I'm skeptical of any real pharmacy that calls itself Real Pharmacy.

Then again, I'm one who gets duped ... so what do I know?

Only that I'm dying today from root canals, apparently.

Real Pharmacy is full of anti-government, conspiracy theories. To say 97% of terminal cancer patients had root canal means nothing unless you can compare that group with a control group of similar age and health status. What percentage of them had root canal ? Probably close to 97% too.
This is nothing, but junk science.

What percentage of people have HAD root canals? I daresay that's pretty high.

100% of people who died of cancer had contracted a cold at one point in their life. I guess there is a correlation in their somewhere.

100% of terminal cancer patients have also consumed water. There ya go.

Snafu and JerseyGirl for the win.

I once had a science professor who made us scream CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION at the beginning of every class.

I don't know anything about this site but they sort of shoot this down.

I bet that sounded pretty, Glinda.

By the way, I just gave up drinking water, but it doesn't really matter because I've had many colds, so I'm already doomed.

Dramamama611 beat me to it but I would bet that at least 50% of adults over 30 have had a root canal procedure and that jumps to 90% of adults over 40.

Almost all the teeth in my mouth have root canals. I have one foot in the grave, I guess. Or maybe two.

[best12bars]

I had my first root canal at 48 and the second at 49. Those are the only two.

Dead man walking.

I took a selfie when I had a cold. does that make me a future narsassitic cancer patient?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I've had a root canal, but I only had non-terminal cancer.

Then your dentist didn't do it the right way, PRS.
Is this really a thread?

Obviously, Liza's Headband's headband is a little too tight today.

Again.

Phyllis you were gyped!

Don't shoot the messenger. Shoot down the message.

I thought parts of the article were intriguing enough to make it worthwhile of sharing. I did not ever claim to actually support this theory nor did I ask anyone else to.

[PalJoey]

Posted: 12/30/13 at 5:42pm

Which parts?

[Liza's Headband]

Posted: 12/30/13 at 5:47pm

Dr. Price's findings and the ADA's *alleged* suppression of Dr. Price's findings. That is all.

More pearl clutching...

Oh please, get a grip. It's not like I typed in ALL CAPS or included a lot of exclamation points!!!!!!!!

If "pearl clutching" means sharing a potentially questionable, if not controversial, link/article to open up dialogue or debate then I'm pretty sure everyone is guilty of it. Including you.

ETA: As I said in my original post, people can take it or leave it. That is up to them. Cheers. Updated On: 12/30/13 at 07:23 PM
