> >Have you ever wondered why modern man can't seem to get through

> >with all his teeth intact, it doesn't seem fair does it? What

> >wrong?
> >No doubt you've heard and we have covered in depth on this show

> >problems arising from mercury and silver amalgams. It's so well
> known in
> >fact that 50% of the over 1,000,000 amalgams placed in teeth
> of Americans
> >today are composites. A new material that doesn't contain mercury.
> >You probably thought that mercury was the big issue and that
> now you know
> >about it you're safe in terms of what's safe in your mouth.
> I'm sorry, but
> >there's more. There's much, much more. And we have tonight two
> gentlemen
> >who are experts in their field in some of the newest research,
> actually
> >it's old research, but it's just getting the attention today
> that it deserves.
> >And that is problems with root canals; apparently there are
> bacteria that
> >can be harbored in root canals no matter how perfectly they're
> done. These
> >bacteria mutate and become toxin factories, they can get out
> into the
> >{*filter*}stream and cause degenerative diseases or make them worse.
> >Also cavitation is a new term you're going to learn tonight
> and that is the
> >space left in the jawbone when a tooth is extracted. If an infected
> tooth
> >or simply a wisdom tooth that needs to come out to make space,
> problems can
> >arise with dead tissue in the jawbone and you're going to learn
> tonight
> >what you can do about these conditions. We have with us Dr.
> George Meinig,
> >the author of Root C{*filter*}Cover-Up. It's a book that details
> this work from
> >the 1920's done by Dr. Westin Price. Research that has been
> done recently
> >and confirmed. He's a specialist in root canals and a dentist.
> >We also have with us Dr. Michael LaMarche. He's a dentist that
> is in
> >practice today specializing in mercury removal. He has worked
> closely with
> >Dr. Hal Huggins who's a leading researcher into mercury toxicity
> and silver
> >dental amalgams and also Dr. LaMarche is one of 13 dentists
> selected
> >nationwide selected for research into cavitations. And we're
> going to find
> >out some very important and useful information tonight.
> >Welcome Dr. Meinig.
> >Dr. Meinig: Thank you very much, Laura.
> >Laura Lee: And welcome Dr. LaMarche.
> >Dr. LaMarche: Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here.
> >Laura Lee: Thank you for all the work that you two have been
> doing in this.
> >I know that people who are plagued with degenerative diseases,
> people who
> >want to avoid those conditions, people whose health is delicate
> don't need
> >any extra {*filter*}s on the immune system.
> >And this research is quite startling when you first hear about
> it. It
> >begins to make more and more sense when you look into it. Let's
> start with
> >you Dr. Meinig, tell us a bit about the problems with root canals,
> your
> >research and why do we even have infected teeth? That's a question
> we'll
> >get to - prevention - at the end of our discussion tonight,
> but what is a
> >root canal, let's define some terms. What has been some of the
> research?
> >Dr. Meinig: Let me start out by saying that I am one of the
> 19 founding
> >members of the root c{*filter*}association, so the people out there
> don't get
> >the idea that I have no background in the...
> >Laura Lee: Did I not mention that? I'm sorry, that was in my
> notes.
> >Dr. Meinig: And it's important for you to know that because
> I'm going to be
> >saying some things critical about root c{*filter*}treatment today.
> And the
> >reason is that I practiced some 47 years and in all of that
> time I never
> >heard about a 25-year research program that was conducted by
> Dr. Westin
> >Price in the early 1900's and actually before then and it was
> finally
> >published in 1923.
> >His work was all well documented in two volumes of 1174 pages
> and in 25
> >articles that appear in the medical and dental literature. Now
> what he
> >reported and what he found with the tests which involved some
> 5,000 animals
> >over the 25 year period was root c{*filter*}distilled teeth, no matter
> how good
> >they looked, or how free they were from symptoms, always remained
> infected.
> >Now that's a shocker, and it's one that many dentists don't
> want to believe
> >because many of the things that we do as an endodontist involve
> large areas
> >of bone loss at the end of a root of the tooth and when you
> do the root
> >c{*filter*}filling you see that bone fills in with new bone and how
> could that
> >dentist and that patient ever think that there could still be
> infection in
> >that tooth? And the problem is that the infection occurs in
> what is known
> >as the dentin of the tooth.
> >The dentin involves 95% of all of the tooth substance and surprisingly,
> >although it's almost as hard as enamel when it's cut with a
> drill it makes
> >a shrill noise just like if you were cutting stone, and you
> would think it
> >was a very hard solid substance. Surprisingly it's composed
> of little tiny
> >tubules, and those tubules are so small that if we took our
> smallest front
> >tooth and stretched it out - stretched those tubules out end
> to end - it
> >would stretch out for a distance of 3 miles.
> >Now what happens is when you get a cavity in a tooth and the
> decay gets
> >into the dentin of the tooth the bacteria that are involved
> in the decay
> >process get into those tubules. I should tell you that initially
> those
> >tubules carry a fluid and that that fluid carries nutriments
> and the
> >nutriments in those dentin tubules keep the tooth alive and
> healthy.
> >And those nutriments come from the nerve and the {*filter*} vessels
> that come
> >into the root c{*filter*}of the tooth. And so fundamentally what
> happens when
> >you get a deep cavity and it exposes the nerve of the tooth,
> those bacteria
> >get into all of those dentin tubules and they remain in there
> causing
> >infection and eventually they can escape and that's a story
> in itself. They
> >can escape in what's known as the lateral canals and there toxins
> can
> >actually escape directly through the root surface into what's
> called the
> >peridontal membrane or ligament.
> >This is a hard fibrous tissue which holds the tooth in the bony
> socket, and
> >when the infection gets into there it transfers easily into
> the bony socket
> >and from there the bacteria and the bacterial toxins can get
> into the
> >surrounding bone and the {*filter*} supply of that surrounding bone.
> And now
> >this acts much like cancer cells, you know cancer cells metastasize
> and
> >that means that they travel around the body in the {*filter*}stream
> and they get
> >to another tissue, gland or organ and they set up a new cancer.
> >Well these bacteria from infected dentin tubules also travel
> around and
> >metastasize in the same way and they can get into the various
> tissue. Those
> >bacteria are kind of like people, you know, if they get to like
> Seattle or
> >Reno or someplace they decide that's where they're going to
> have their
> >home, well the bacteria traveling around the body, they may
> get to the
> >liver, the kidneys or the heart or the eyes or some other tissue
> and they
> >set up an infection in that area. So this is exactly what happens
> and why
> >the degenerative diseases occur from these teeth.
> >Laura Lee: Now why isn't the immune system not able to knock
> out these
> >bacteria when they get outside the tooth? I can understand three
> miles of
> >tunnels in these microtubules of an infected tooth for these
> bacteria to
> >propagate in. It's hard for the immune system to get in there,
> but once
> >they travel out, what's the immune system doing there? Just
> a slow wear and
> >tear where they can't get rid of the infection sites so it's
> this constant
> >default...?
> >Dr. Meinig: Well, you're right, the immune system under certain
> >circumstances can take care of this quite adequately, but it
> has to be
> >those people who have extremely good genetic backgrounds who
> are in good
> >nutrition basis, are having no health problems, in their daily
> life.
> >Laura Lee: Now, who in the late 20th century can make that claim
> with all
> >the {*filter*}s on our systems.
> >Dr. Meinig: That's right, Laura, there's not very many that
> can make that
> >claim. Now if there are some people, and Dr. Price found that
> 258 of his
> >patients met that requirement, he found they could stand root
> canals for
> >many years without any difficulty until they had a severe accident,
> until
> >they got a case of the flu, they had some severe stress to them,
> and now
> >their immune system which was able to cope with these bacteria
> and these
> >toxins of the bacteria now had too much to do and they could
> no longer cope
> >and this person would develop a disease in their liver, their
> kidneys,
> >their eyes, their brain, their whatever, just the same as a
> cancer
> >metastasizing around this would happen to them in degenerative
> disease
> >situation.
> >Laura Lee: When we come back let's talk a little bit about Dr.
> Price's
> >original research. This research went on for five decades or
> so not being
> >recognized. He was first doing this in the 209. It went for
> a long long
> >time not really being recognized, though he was part of the
> establishment
> >of his day, he did legitimate research, he wrote volumes, it's
> >well-documented, he did the proper laboratory experiments, etc.
