Is American Dentistry Killing Us?...

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

Is American Dentistry killing us?  Probably.  There are certainly good
reasons circulating around the campfires to believe so.  It's time, I
believe, for the North American Health Freedom Movement to focus on
Dentistry, and its problems, because what happens in the mouth effects
the
whole body.

I believe that the American Dental Association (ADA), as the primary
representative of Dentistry, is in "siege mode,"  meaning that their
Modus Operandi, these days, seems more defensive of position than
promotional of healthy Dentistry.

Why?  Because, I think, they are defending, like the tobacco industry
did for years, untenable positions.  In fact, in my opinion, American
Dentistry, as an industry, is far more deadly than tobacco ever was -
and
I'll tell you why I think so.

(1)  American Dentistry's official position on Mercury Amalgams.

If you listen to the nonsense spewed out of conventional dentistry, you

hear, from them, that the only safe place to store the deadly toxin
mercury is in the teeth.  The stories they make up to bolster this
claim
are ludicrous.

Mercury is OFFICIALLY mega-dangerous before it is installed in the
teeth, and is OFFICIALLY mega-dangerous when it is being removed from
the
teeth.  But, according to Dental spokesperson Robert Baratz MD. DDS.
PhD, it is perfectly safe while in the teeth -  Never mind that
University
scientists outright laugh at Baratz's claims - he, and Dentistry in
general, stick to their statements.

Two thirds of North American Dentists still install Mercury Amalgams.
Mercury leaches out from the teeth into the body causing serious health

problems.  For information on this issue, there is a very good article
detailing this problem called "The Dental amalgam Issue - A Terrible
Sin Against Humanity."

(2)  Cavitations - Dentistry's officially ignored MAJOR health
problem...

Susan Stockton MA writes, what I think, is the best article for the
layman, about the "Cavitation Issue."  It is clear and concise, and
written from the patient's viewpoint.  In her article called "JAWBONE
CAVITATIONS: Infarction, Infection & Systemic Disease" she makes the
issue
simple, and understandable.  You need to read it.  Below is a sample:

"Ischemic osteonecrosis (bone death due to poor blood supply) is a
disease of the entire skeleton - i.e., it can affect any bone in the
body.
It is best known as a hip condition, and yet it is actually more common

in the jawbone, though unacknowledged as such by mainstream medicine
and dentistry.

A jawbone cavitation is simply a hollow space or pocket in the bone. It

is not readily visible to the eye and often causes no local discomfort,

though it can be the hidden cause of facial pain syndromes (hence one
of its names, NICO - Neuralgia Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis).
The chief initiating factor is trauma to the jaw, often brought on by
standard dental treatment."

Of danger to North Americans is the ADA's official position that
"Cavitations do not exist," an idea that denies basic science and years
worth
of teaching in Dental schools.  I suspect that their position may have
a lot to do with the section written below.

(3)  Root Canals - Festering Death Modules...

To properly understand the idea of "root canals" we must first make a
comparison.  A "root canal" is the process of removing the nerve tissue

to a dead, or dying tooth, so that you don't feel the pain.  Thank God
that Heart Surgeons don't think the same way as Dentists.  Imagine
going to your MD with chest pains and having them say "No problem,
we'll
just go in and cut out the nerves to the heart, and your pain will go
away."

Uhhmm?

Thank God we don't let Dentists deal with brain tumors, broken arms and

legs, bullet wounds, or depression.

One of the originators of  "root canals" George Meinig DDS, in a
startling interview, tells the truth about root canals.  He says:

"Yes, a high percentage of chronic degenerative diseases can originate
from root filled teeth. The most frequent were heart and circulatory
diseases and he found 16 different causative agents for these. The next

most common diseases were those of the joints, arthritis and
rheumatism.
In third place - but almost tied for second - were diseases of the
brain and nervous system. After that, any disease you can name might
(and
in some cases has) come from root filled teeth."

I read somewhere that "root canals" are a three trillion dollar
business, so I don't expect official Dentistry to give them up
willingly.

There are those that say that "root canals" are a major cause of
"Cavitations..." above.

(4)  Flouride in our water - One of the biggest scams foisted on Planet

Earth...

The "fluoride issue" is explained in detail on the Fluoride Action
Network webpage. There you can sign up for Paul Connett's excellent
free
newsletter on the subject.

But, to get the gist of the issue from someone not involved in the
fight, go read the article written by Devvi Kidd called "GERMANS &
RUSSIANS
USED FLUORIDE TO MAKE PRISONERS STUPID & DOCILE."

Kidd says, quoting other authoritative research:

"It is a matter of record that sodium fluoride has been used for
behavior control of populations. In an "Address in reply to the
Governor's
Speech to Parliament," [Victorian Hanstard, August 12, 1987, Nexus,
Aug/Sept 1995], Mr. Harley Rivers Dickinson, Liberal Party Member of
the
Victorian Parliament for South Barwon, Australia, made a statement on
the
historical use of fluorides for behavior control.

"Mr. Dickinson reveals that, "At the end of the Second World War, the
United States Government sent Charles Elliot Perkins, a research worker

in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of

the vast Farven chemical plants in Germany. While there, he was told by

German chemists of a scheme which had been worked out by them during
the war and adopted by the German General Staff. This scheme was to
control the population in any given area through mass medication of
drinking
water. In this scheme, sodium fluoride will in time reduce an
individual's power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and
narcotising a
certain area of the brain, and will thus make him submissive to the
will
of those who wish to govern him. Both the Germans and the Russians
added fluoride to the drinking water of prisoners of war to make them
stupid and docile."

(5)  The  organized conspiracy to attack those who try to call
attention to the problems above...

North America is known for its promotion of innovation in all aspects
of society except one - health care.

In North America, health care has developed into a war.  On one side is

the status quo, called "medicine." On the other is "health."  The two
are far from the same.  The American public, with their buying habits,
is rejecting "medicine" in favor of "health," and despite massive drug
marketing campaigns, and brutal raids against competitors to drugs
(supplements, electro-medicine, oxygen therapies) by the Big Pharma
controlled US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), "medicine" is being
sidelined.

It is no secret, in North America, that an organization exists whose
primary function is to murderously attack innovators in health care -
literally burying them with venom, hatred, lies, and misinformation.
It's
been going on for years.  The group calls themselves the
"quackbusters."   No studies have ever been done to determine how much
suffering and
death they have caused - yet.

The "quackbusters" are something of a cottage-industry.  It is a money
making operation that makes mega-millions, if not mega-billions, for
its client base - conventional medicine and dentistry.
