What do you know about oral cancer?

One person dies every hour from oral cancer in the United States and the mortality rate has remained unchanged for more than 40 years.  The death rate associated  with oral cancer is high not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but because the cancer is discovered late in its development.   Often oral cancer is only discovered when the cancer has spread, most likely to the lymph nodes in the neck.           

The oral cavity includes your lips, gums, tongue, area of your mouth under your tongue, the roof of your mouth and the lining of your cheeks.  The throat begins at at the soft part of the roof of your mouth and continues back into your throat.  It includes the back section of your tongue as well as the base where the tongue attaches to the floor of your mouth.

Symptoms of mouth or throat cancer can include:

Did you catch this posting on Mercola.com  “97% of terminal cancer patients previously had this dental procedure”?

The answer is root canals. 

Biological dentists have been concerned about root canals and patient’s health ever since the Father of Biological Dentistry, Dr. Weston Price, performed his now famous root canal experiment. Dr. Weston Price implanted root canaled teeth from patients with known pathologies (like cancer) and observed the same pathology growing in the implanted rabbit. That means a rabbit implanted with the root canal teeth of a patient with heart disease would then develop heart disease! A coincidence? If it happened once maybe, but he demonstrated many times the same results with the same tooth and many different rabbits.

Root Canals May Harbor Bacteria

We acknowledge the intense controversy within the biological dental community concerning the safety of root canal therapy. Even the conventional dental community is beginning to acknowledge that there may be long term health issues attributable to retaining dead teeth in a person’s mouth. Of course their interest is to replace the root canal with an implant, not necessarily a new found understanding that root canaled teeth are incubating sources for many pathogens and a continuous flow of toxins as well as the tremendous stress to the neuro-immune system. Both the toxin release and the neuro-immune stress on your body from dead root canal teeth may be the root causes for many chronic health problems- and affect your overall health status.
