Root canal w/ serious problems

Sherry - 08 Oct 2005 21:38 GMT
About 4 months ago I began the root canal process.  I was put on an
antibiotic on Friday afternoon and was drilled on Monday morning.  Is this
enough time to allow the infection to go away?  I questioned them and they
said the antibiotics would start to work immediately.  Anyway, he placed
temporary fillings in 2 teeth that were right next to each other - upper left
bicuspid and a molar.  I was told that I would have some pain for a couple of
days.  I was told to continue my antibiotic and was also put on Ibuprofen
800mg for pain.  My appointment for the rest of the root canal was scheduled
to be done in two weeks.  The pain did not go away in a couple of days.  I
was scheduled to go to New York the weekend before my next appointment to
finish the root canal.  I called the dentist's office and told them that it
had been a week and a half and I was still experiencing pain, that I was to
go to NYC that weekend, and I did not want to have any problems with my teeth
at that time.  I was then told that sometimes the pain would last as long as
two weeks.  I went on my trip and was miserable!  The pain would really flare
up when I rode the subway ( I am guessing that it was due to all the jostling)
.

I went to have the root canal done on that Wednesday after my trip.  I told
him that I was still having pain.  He shot me up about three times with
novacaine and waited til he thought I was numb.  He began to place the rubber
dam over my teeth.  I stopped him and told him that I could really feel that.
He shot me up a couple of more times.  Shouldn't  the pain associated with
just the placement of the rubber dam have tipped him off that maybe something
wasn't right?  He began drilling and I could feel a little pain, which was
bearable, and a lot of pressure.  I just assumed that this was normal.  Then
he irrigated the tooth.  When he did this, I could feel cold, bleachy tasting
liquid go up into my cheek and swish around all the way up to my eye.  Again,
I thought this was normal or maybe just a sensation from the novacaine.
After the procedure was finished, he refilled my antibiotic and wrote me an
Rx for Vicodan.

My face was a little puffy that night, but just assumed that it was normal
due to the trauma of what had been done.  The next day it was still puffy.
However, on Friday morning it was very swollen.  I didn't call the dentist, I
just stopped in, unannounced, and asked if this was normal.  He took one look
at me and said, "Oh, my!"  He then wrote me another Rx for a different
antibiotic and told me to take it conjunction with the one I was already
taking and told me to stop in on Monday morning.  Saturday morning when I
woke, my face was swollen all the way up to and around my eye.  When I bent
over to pick up some dirty clothes a bunch of rusty colored liquid came
running out of my nose.  I spent the rest of the day with my head hanging
over the edge of the bed trying to drain all that crap out of my face.  I
felt a little better the next day and the swelling had gone down some.  When
I got to his office on Monday, I told he what had happened and told him that
I was concerned about having infection spread to my brain.  He didn't look
all that concerned.  He put me on a Medrol Dose Pack (oral steriod) to take
with my antibiotics.  

I went back to see him every Friday for the next month.  He took an x-ray
each time I said that I was still experiencing pain.  All he ever said was,
"The x-rays look okay."  He would occassionally change my antibiotic.  On one
of my Friday visits he told me that the problem was that the roots of my
molar had grown into my sinuses.  Couldn't he see this on the very first x-
ray he took before any work was performed?  On my last visit to him he told
me that he needed to cap the teeth as I "was compromising the integrity of my
teeth."  I told him that I was reluctant to have any more work done at this
time due to all the pain that I was having.  He told me to make an
appointment to come in in two weeks to have the work finished.  I went to the
receptionist and told her that he wanted me back in two weeks, but to
schedule it for four weeks to allow the pain to go away.  They always want at
least half of the payment up front, which in this case was $840, and I didn't
have it and that I would be able to come up with the money in a month as
opposed to two weeks.

After two weeks after my last visit to the dentist, my pain still had not
subsided and I went to a medical doctor.  I told him that I was experiencing
dizziness, light-headedness, loss of balance, loss of concentration, itchy
rash that would turn into pustuales (pimple like), burning sensation behind
my left eye, tingling in my left cheek that would radiate up and around my
head, pain under my cheek bone, and that I suspected that I may have
something systemic because I did not feel right.  He ordered blood work and a
CAT scan of my sinuses.  Both came back negative and I was told to see a
specialist.

I went a couple of weeks ago to see an ENT.  He basically laughed at me since
nothing showed up on my CAT scan.  He told me the pain was coming from my
tooth.  I asked how that could be when the roots are supposedly dead.  He
said that wasn't a dentist.  He said that the CAT scan did show that I have a
deviated septum and a prominent nasal spur and the spur could cause headaches.
I told him that I guess that I have always had that spur and I had very
rarely experienced headaches.  He told me that I should go back to the
dentist and have him cap my teeth.

I am at a loss as to what to do next.  No one seems concerned about my
symptoms and I am beginning to get more than a little worried.  I believe
that he filled my teeth with gutta-percha, which I have recently discovered
contains approximately 5% mercury.  Could I have mercury poisoning?  I have
also learned that oxygen deprived bacteria continue to live inside that tooth
and can leach out making you sick.  Why doen't dentists recognize this even
with documentation?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.  I don't like the fact that my
dentist wanted to continue the root cnal work even though I insisted that I
was still in pain.

    That's a lot of questions.
    There is no way I can answer specifically to your situation.
Unfortunately it is not rare to start a root canal and to stir up a
hornets nest--a chronic low-grade infection can go acute.  In this
situation it can be far more difficult or even impossible to achieve
good anesthesia.
    Doing the root canal should eliminate the infection, but sometimes some
infected material can be forced up past the tip of the roots and cause
an infection similar to what you've had.
    I am slightly concerned that from your description your dentist MAY
have irrigated some fluid past the tip of the root.  This can cause a
very florid and occasionally serious reaction in itself.
    My advice is that you have an endodontist (root canal specialist) have
a look at the tooth, and tell him/her everything you've written here.
    BTW, gutta percha contains no mercury--at least no gutta percha I've
ever seen.  It is latex, and some barium salts are mixed in to make it
visible on x-ray.

Thank you for the advice.  I am just sick of feeling like this.
Jacob - 08 Oct 2005 23:09 GMT
I would agree: you should see an endodontist, who is a root canal
specialist.  Infections can last longer that we'd like, and it's possible
that is what you have.  It's impossible to really give you any advice
without examining you and knowing your age and health history, but a
specialist should be able to see what's what.  I would tell your dentist you
are doing this and request a copy of all the x-rays he's taken, so that the
endodontist can see how things have progressed and see how that compares
with the current situation.  Be assured that eventually most all infections
do resolve.  Good luck!

I agree you should definitely see an endodontist.  I am very surprised that
your dentist suggested a crown for the tooth while you were still having
pain.  By the way... change dentists.

I was a bit taken back when he wanted to proceed with the crowns, too.  That
was the last time that I went to him and I don't think that I will go back to
him.  I think there is something fishy going on over there.  My sister goes
to the same place but has a different dentist.  She just paid $2,500 for a
bridge two weeks ago that they want to drill through now.

I wouldn't worrry about gutta percha being toxic... sounds more like
combination of persisitent infection and possiblity of sodium
hypochlorite used to clean the canal going past the apex of root. That
can cause severe rxn but usually will go away by itself... you should
see an endodontist for consultand wait on the crowns for now.

Root Canals. A tooth has miles of tiny canals running through the root. A
dead
or root filled tooth will have bacteria in these canals. There is no way of
removing the bacteria once they are in there.

http://www.toothwisdom.net/

Toxicity from Root Canals

The next subject to be discussed are root canals and their possible source
of
toxicity. Approximately twenty five million Americans undergo root canal
therapy every year in an effort to prevent the loss of teeth that have
abscessed. The root canal is the left portion of the tooth which houses the
vital organs such as the nerve and blood vessels. The dentist endeavors to
clean and sterilize this canal and fill it with a sterile, non toxic inert
material. This usually renders this tooth serviceable and non painful;
however,
the entire inner hard core of the tooth is made of dentin which has several
million dentinal tubules. These tubules allow the circulation of lymphatic
type
fluid to circulate from the vital organs of the root canal to the outside of
the tooth. This is a viable circulatory phenomenon which has a purpose. It
services the periodontal ligament as well as the sensory aspect of the nerve
and blood centers in the root canal. If the body chemistry is healthy, the
flow
of lymphatic fluid is from the root canal to the outside of the tooth. This
creates an irrigation for the tooth and usually prevents the accumulation of
plaque to form. When the body chemistry is not healthy, then the circulation
is
from the outside of the tooth to the inner root canal. This allows for no
irrigation, but rather an accumulation of plaque to form. There are many
more
reasons for maintaining the integrity of the circulation in the dentinal
tubules. Root canal therapy completely destroys this integrity, and what
happens to the non-circulating fluid in these tubules? This fluid as it ages
becomes stagnant and becomes a toxic substance. This porous structure now
becomes a septic mass emanating poisons into the body. Is this what you
want?
Mercury amalgams are said to be the caskets of the body. Root canals are
said
to be the cadavers of the body.

I do not recommend root canals for anyone. Each individual has a right to
their
decisions. Many people simply do not wish to lose a member of their body. I
respect this, and I always discuss the consequences.

The next area of discussion is whether the root canal filling actually
sterilizes the apical end of the tooth. There are so many lateral canals at
the
root end of the tooth where bacteria can harbor that it is unlikely that a
complete aseptic condition exists. This, however, is a debateable subject.
Again, the complete acceptance of root canal therapy as a viable
substitution
for extraction is completely and whole heartedly supported by organized
dentistry. You are in violation of the code of ethics if you speak out
against
root canal therapy. When I was a practicing dentist, I always let the
patient
make that decision after explaining all pros and cons.

Sherry - 11 Oct 2005 22:07 GMT
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post.  I have an appointment with the
dentist tomorrow morning to have him once again check on the teeth that he
root canaled.  I will have him refer me to an endodontist.  

I have done some research on my own over the weekend and did read about some
of the stuff that LadyLollipop was referring to.  I was reading about Weston
Price and his theories on focal infection and the toxicities caused by
bacterial poisons left in the tubules leaching out causing sickness and
disease.  From a medical standpoint, this makes extreme sense. The dentist
certainly never discussed any of this with me!  I had no clue things could
get out of hand from a tooth.  I may have opted for just having the thing
pulled, which also was never discussed.  

All I know is that ever since I had the root canals done four months ago I
just haven't felt the same.  I am tired all of the time and have no energy,
along with everything else that I stated in my first post.  Also, over the
weekend the side of my face, from my eye down to my ear, was very sore.  If I
touched beside my ear I could feel pressure that went directly to the tooth.
My eyelid would twitch a lot and the tingling went down to my bottom lip.

I will let you know what the dentist says about my teeth after he examines
them tomorrow.  If he looks at the x-ray and says that everything looks okay
and that I should let him crown them, I am going to scream!!!

That particular study was proven wrong in 1923.  Forget about it.

The entire scientific community.  Do you want your dental/medical care to
based on one study done in 1918 that was proven wrong a few years later ?

If you prefer to listen to a retired day care worker rather than learned
professionals, that is your prerogative.  Have a nice day.

There is no need to get snippy.  I was simply asking a question.  And the
reason it makes sense is that I never had any of these problems until after I
was root canaled.  It just all seems pretty coincidental to me.  And, I have
been reading stories of other people whose problems could not be diagnosed
and they got better after the tooth was removed.  That kind of speaks for
itself also, don't you think?

First I am not a dentist but I do lurk here at times.  If you can save this
tooth, or any tooth, please save the tooth.  I have crohn's and do to bleed
outs and absorption issues I have five or six teeth left and will probably
lose at least two more of them in the near future.  The top has a full
denture which isn't too bad for false teeth but on the bottom there is no
suction to keep dentures/bridges in place.  Save your teeth as long as you
can, it will be worth it.  Just my opinion.  UM MOM Susan

Q: What is the worst treatment done by dentists?

A: While mercury is toxic and can do terrible things to nerve tissue, it
does it slowly over decades. The treatment that can have the biggest and
fastest impact on the body is root canal therapy. The idea of keeping a
dead, infected organ in the body is only thought to be a good idea by
dentists. A root canal-treated tooth always negatively affects your immune
system.

http://www.integratedhealthpractice.com/treatment.asp#Root

All root cancel fillings have the potential to casue bad health. This is
because, althought the nerve has been removed, bacteria still colonise in
the minute tubules of a tooth. These bacteria produce toxins which enter the
body causing potential harm.

An area of residual infection which is left under the gum, usually
following, but sometimes a long time after an extraction can cause problems.
Symptoms can be coincided with the energetic links to the body as well as
localised problems.

http://www.toothwisdom.net/r.root_canals.html

                 ROOT CANALS
                 A "root canal" is a procedure that a dentist uses to allow
a patient to keep a dead tooth in his or her mouth. The fallacy with this
concept is that the body doesn't like dead things in it and will try,
sometimes desperately, to get rid of the dead thing. Notwithstanding, the
fact that it may be "handy" to save a tooth for "dental convenience", it
does not change the fact that root canal treatments can devastate the human
immune system. "Root canals" cause:

                   1.. Suppression of the immune system
                   2.. The creation of an "interference field" on the
meridian that the particular tooth is on (meridian - a channel of energy
that flows between different tissues, organs and structures) .
                   3.. The production of the most toxic organic substance
known to man.

                 Root-canal fillings can cause serious side effects. Dr.
Weston price is recognized as the greatest researcher that the dental
profession has ever produced. Dr. Price, after observing many patients with
crippling degenerative diseases not responding to treatment, suspected
infected root canal-filled teeth to be the cause. He then embarked on a 25 -
year-long study to see if his suspicions were correct. This study was done
during the first 3 decades of the 20th century! However this information was
not shared with us when we were dental students so we had a big void in our
dental education where root canals are concerned. Dr. Price devised a
testing method which disclosed the presence of infection in a tooth which
otherwise seemed to be healthy - that is, the implanting of the root canal
filled tooth under the skin of a laboratory animal. He found that when the
root-filled tooth of a patient with a degenerative disease was extracted and
imbedded in an animal, that animal would develop the patient's disease. He
did this in over 5000 animal studies and the results were consistent. In the
beginning, Dr. Price did not know just where the infection was hiding in the
tooth, only that a patient's illness was rapidly transferred from his
root-filled tooth to laboratory animals in case after case. Dr. Price was
able to culture the bacteria in root-filled teeth and trap their toxins,
reproducing a disease in a rabbit by injecting the cultured material into
the animal. Dr. Price discovered a wide variety of degenerative diseases to
be transferable to rabbits, such as endocarditis and other heart diseases,
kidney and bladder diseases, arthritis, rheumatism, mental diseases, lung
problems, pregnancy complications, almost any degenerative problem - and
after extraction of these teeth, a large percentage of patients recovered
from their illnesses.

Totally irrelevant.

Amalgams is the subject.

We already have partial bans, for very good reason.

The truth is mercury is being eliminated in ALL forms, dentists are the
biggest

The reason for this post, is Dr Steve got caught in his own trap.

For many years (maybe even now) endodontics has either not been
taught well or has not been learned well by many general dentists.
It may not be brain surgery, but it is not to be taken lightly.

If it is done right, there are rarely any significant complications
and the teeth are saved for many years and often a lifetime.

If it is done poorly, there usually are complications and the patient
would often be better served with an implant.

Listening to some advice on the internet (or even in your normal life)
can be filled with lies and misinformation.  It may be offered with the
best intentions yet be filled with ignorance.  It also may be offered
to scam you into something that you will live to regret.

The dentists here have no vested interests in your treatment.  We offer

 ll root cancel fillings have the potential to casue bad health. This is
because, althought the nerve has been removed, bacteria still colonise in
the minute tubules of a tooth. These bacteria produce toxins which enter the
body causing potential harm.
An area of residual infection which is left under the gum, usually
following, but sometimes a long time after an extraction can cause problems.
Symptoms can be coincided with the energetic links to the body as well as
localised problems.

Root Canals. A tooth has miles of tiny canals running through the root. A
dead
or root filled tooth will have bacteria in these canals. There is no way of
removing the bacteria once they are in there.

http://www.toothwisdom.net/

Toxicity from Root Canals

The next subject to be discussed are root canals and their possible source
of
toxicity. Approximately twenty five million Americans undergo root canal
therapy every year in an effort to prevent the loss of teeth that have
abscessed. The root canal is the left portion of the tooth which houses the
vital organs such as the nerve and blood vessels. The dentist endeavors to
clean and sterilize this canal and fill it with a sterile, non toxic inert
material. This usually renders this tooth serviceable and non painful;
however,
the entire inner hard core of the tooth is made of dentin which has several
million dentinal tubules. These tubules allow the circulation of lymphatic
type
fluid to circulate from the vital organs of the root canal to the outside of
the tooth. This is a viable circulatory phenomenon which has a purpose. It
services the periodontal ligament as well as the sensory aspect of the nerve
and blood centers in the root canal. If the body chemistry is healthy, the
flow
of lymphatic fluid is from the root canal to the outside of the tooth. This
creates an irrigation for the tooth and usually prevents the accumulation of
plaque to form. When the body chemistry is not healthy, then the circulation
is
from the outside of the tooth to the inner root canal. This allows for no
irrigation, but rather an accumulation of plaque to form. There are many
more
reasons for maintaining the integrity of the circulation in the dentinal
tubules. Root canal therapy completely destroys this integrity, and what
happens to the non-circulating fluid in these tubules? This fluid as it ages
becomes stagnant and becomes a toxic substance. This porous structure now
becomes a septic mass emanating poisons into the body. Is this what you
want?
Mercury amalgams are said to be the caskets of the body. Root canals are
said
to be the cadavers of the body.

I do not recommend root canals for anyone. Each individual has a right to
their
decisions. Many people simply do not wish to lose a member of their body. I
respect this, and I always discuss the consequences.

The next area of discussion is whether the root canal filling actually
sterilizes the apical end of the tooth. There are so many lateral canals at
the
root end of the tooth where bacteria can harbor that it is unlikely that a
complete aseptic condition exists. This, however, is a debateable subject.
Again, the complete acceptance of root canal therapy as a viable
substitution
for extraction is completely and whole heartedly supported by organized
dentistry. You are in violation of the code of ethics if you speak out
against
root canal therapy. When I was a practicing dentist, I always let the
patient
make that decision after explaining all pros and cons.

That may be, but why does the patient have to end up with either
a ($$$$) root canal, or a ($$$$) implant (which also can become
infected with complicaions). How about just extracting
the tooth and cleaning out the bone, option #3. It's amazing
the even most OS's don't seem to be able to even do #3 or diagnose
any condition that won't lead to a root canal or implant.

> The dentists here have no vested interests in your treatment.  We offer

Dentistry is a business, like any other, not to mention the legal
liability, for supposedly "safe" and widely practiced dental methods.
And by the way, this issue is very controversial with state board
harassment of dentists who do not follow the "party line". Some of this
issues are even being fought out in court
right now. YOur characterization of one camp of learned professionals
vs a group of crazy patients is disingenous to the
extreme. I'm not here to characterize the safety of root canal
procedures, but please give the FTBW (follow the band wagon) argument a
rest.

The point here is that there is an infection that isn't being treated.
(Seems to be another problem commonly associated
with dentistry). By the way any ENT who says an infection that
doesn't show up on a CAT scan can't be there is a moron.

But why so defenisve all of a sudden about root canals. Shhhh,
don't wake anybody up or threaten dentistries ($$$$) cash cow.

Who knows, his posts get stranger and angrier all the time.  I suppose you

Extracting a tooth and properly cleaning out the socket, and/or

apparently is foreign concept to many dentists.

Last response to you for the time being - but how many extractions have you
watched that the socket wasn't curretted.  Since you state most oral
surgeons don't, I would have to assume this numbers in the 100's.  Jeez this

    I've had plenty of patients who are happy with option #3.  But many aren't.
    I've never, ever chained a patient down and forced them to endure a
root canal.  Or a crown.  Or an implant.
    May I be so bold as to guess you haven't either?

You may!

I agree, some people are fine with option #3. I have many patients who have
no molars and function quite well with bicuspid occlusion, but as you say,
it isn't right for everyone. I just completed endo on a 34 year old woman
whose child bonked her teeth with his apparently rock hard head. No
discoloration, so we are hoping endo will be the end of things...but even if
this patient had opted for "option #3", they are not prepared to go thru the
next 50 years looking like an old time hockey player!

Sherry - 15 Oct 2005 05:06 GMT
I really didn't mean to start any arguments about this stuff.  I was just
looking to see if anyone else had ever experienced what I am going through.

Any way, I went back to the dentist on Wednesday just to see what he would
sat this time.  He still didn't have an answer for me and he was still
suggesting that I get the teeth crowned.  I told him once again that I really
didn't want to spend $1,400 on something that just may have to be yanked out.
He then sent me to an endodonist that same afternoon.

The endodonist discovered that my dentist had somehow missed a canal.  Now I
have to go back to the endodonist next Wednesday to have the tooth redone.
However, he had no answer for the dizziness and the light-headedness that I
have been expereincing and told me that he may have to refer me to a
neurologist.  My dentist has agreed to pay for the endodonist treatment in
the form of crediting those charges toward my crowns.  That's all fine and
dandy, but I have racked up about $4,000 in other doctors bills, testing, and
lost wages.  When my dentist called me the next day, he never even mentioned
the missed canal.   He just said that he didn't think it was fair for me to
have to undergo another root canal and he was going to pay for the endodonist
treatment.  When I mentioned that I may have to see a neurologist he skirted
that issue.

I'll let you know what happens next.

Organized dentistry denies the fact that there is such a thing called

No, you didn't mean to mention... you did mention it.. over and over
again.  What is with people on usenet who think that nobody will see
their post so they post the same thing again and again.  It's tedious
and it's boring and it isn't going to make people love you or listen
to you.  Go away Miss Lollipop.  And take Otis with you.

Okay, Enough, Robert Tony WB.

my leaking filling did a lot of damage to my jaw too and I emailed
s Bornfeld the cat scan and he agreed the jaw was necrotic. yes
Hg when it comes out enough it is a toxin and it can damage the bone
and lead to strange problems, such as bone infection, cavitations
whatever you want to call it.

I had an OS make the the comment to me about the "hole in the
head" before I got a cat scan showing the jaw had eroded, and that
was AFTER he did an extraction at the local site near where the "leaky"
filling had been placed about 20 years earilier and the ignoramous
himself wrote "bone is very soft but not indicative of any disease"

Furthermore "cavitations are real". I know someone who had surgery
done by a Univeraity reseacrch deptartment in the South and they
even noted extensive infections with areas that were apparently
cavitations. there are even citations in recent research papers from
NIH.

How you can go an entire career career in dentistry and not encounter
some of these problems i don't know but maybe you
truly are ignorant or you just don't want to know. Either way
you and other dentists like you are a danger to their patients
whether you realize it or not.

    Whoa--I doubt very much I said it was necrotic.  I am cetainly not
experienced enough in reading CAT scans to make a judgement of that kind.
    I do remember the x-ray looking messy though.  I will not make the jump
and judge exactly what it is that I saw.  I simply do not believe I have
the standing to say that.

You are correct, i confused that with what another local Oral surgeon
said (who I never went to). here is what you did say.
(I only post it because there is nothing in your comments
 unfit for anyone to see and you made clear you were not an
 expert in CT interpretation):

"I have no training in the reading of CAT scans.  However, I do see the
swelling in what I assume to be your left maxillary sinus.
The full-skull scan certainly seems to indicate very serious bone
destruction of the maxilla.  As I do not interpret these kinds of scans
I cannot tell how much overlap of the sinus on the image accounts for
what looks like a major loss of bone.  If I am interpreting this
correctly, I must assume there is a very significant defect, and wonder
if you have had any kind of reconstructive surgery" -endquote.

To everyone: That area was very near the "leaky" filling by the way and
I even had high levels of copper in my blood right before removal.

I just want to make clear to everybody that Jan's having Hg problems
and then bone infection is not fantasy land, but the two are very
closely connected and it does happen to a number of people even if
it doesn't affect most people. This is very real.

Thank you, Clinton.

Isn't it a pity the dentists here feel the need to make fun of others
suffering, even after I said, I had recently lost 35 pounds. This is
despicable. I hope they feel good about themselves, it certainly doesn't
speak well for the profession or lack of.

You may the most wonderful person when people meet you face to face, but
here you have been most unpleasant, which makes me wonder why it would
surprise you that people have little sympathy for you. If a dog runs up and
bites me, I am not going to feel bad if it breaks a tooth in the process. I
don't like your online persona one bit. You have irritated me many times by
accusing me of being a liar, by questioning my abilities to raise children,
by accusing me of deliberately trying to harm my patients, and by making
judgments about my character simply because we don't agree on a dental
subject. If people here hurt your feelings by making light of your plight, I
say GOOD! Perhaps it will teach you something about casting such vile at
others. I have a feeling that lesson is lost on you.

I do feel really good about myself because I know the quality of my
character. All I know about you is the angry, hateful person that I see here
and wonder how YOU can feel good about being that person. I like what I see
in the mirror. Based on the hate you spew here, I doubt you can honestly say
the same thing.

That is because Jan Drew is a pious Christian who respects the Ten
Commandments. Not!!

Jan Drew's favorite line in the bible is "Judge not, lest you be
judged". Instead of taking responsibility for her *own* judging she
looks at others who judge as she likely will in response to my post.

Jan Drew is a hypocrite of biblical proportions. And nearly every day
of her life she proves it by her posts on usenet.

Aloha,

Rich

That is a BLATANT REPEATED LIE.

You stated it previously, and been asked to prove it and you can NOT!!!!!

I have NEVER accused you of either one!!!!

How very nice of you.

You need to remember what goes around comes around.

You also might want to keep in mind, this is neither professional, nor
moral.

You mean, like YOU just did?

It doesn't get much more despicable than making fun of others' suffering

What hate would that be, Tony? Saying Joel is stupid?

We all know his posts are stupid and filled with lies.

That's not hatred, it is the truth!

You talk out of both sides of your mouth!

Please don't misunderstand me Jan, I am not making fun of your illness, I am
not convinced you are or were as sick as you claim. Even if one fell really
hard and bumped their head causing them to lose a good portion of their
reasoning ability, and bought into the existence of all three of these
malady's, the odds of YOU or any one being being sickened by all three would
seem very high...so high in fact...I would have a hard time believing it to
be true without more definitive proof than you have ever offered here.

Remain in denial if you wish. I can assure you mercury *poisoning* makes one
VERY VERY ill.

I guess you think losing 25 pounds and having no energy is *fun*

Perhaps a bone disease caused by God knows what, doesn't phase you either.

We wouldn't want to disturb your little world.

You have a lot to learn, Tony.

No doubt Richard H Jacobson cyberstalker will follow this post with his
usual lies.

Then he will say, cue Jan to attack me, right after he gets done attacking.

Just is case, he just posted this on MHA
