Hi Horsegal74,

Congrats you finally found a dentist who can do the right procedure. Regarding the toxin from Root Canal, there are 2 issues you need to solve. First is the infection issues (by the bacteria) which I think your holistic practitioner has addressed. Another issues is heavy metal toxicity. The material used to fill up the root canal may contained mercury, therefore you probably want to check whether your body have this heavy metal toxicity. One of the safe way to check is through hair mineral analysis (though there are some weaknesses for this test also). DO NOT take DMPS Challenge Test (risky for backfire, skewed result: http://www.dmpsbackfire.com/test/default.shtml).
Once you confirmed you have heavy metal toxicity, you need to make sure you take out all the mercury in your teeth before you do the detoxing (called chelation) for your body. Ask the dentist to check whether there is remaining mercury in your teeth (it could be not cleaned properly).

Regarding your immune system, you need to make sure your body is fit enough for the removal. Take it slowly one at a time so it won't give your body too many burden all of sudden (Since you have 5, you may want to do it one by one within proper range of time). Dr. Hal Huggins have good suggestion regarding time period for Amalgam removal (read his book It's All in your head), which I think can be applied for root canal removal as well (since it deals with body immune system).

GBU,

Hi, I had a tooth #18 root canal extracted about one month ago and didn't even think about the possibility of my system getting flooded with toxins AFTER the extraction. That is very interesting and troubling if true.

I have since the extraction been going through some very tough times health-wise since I found out I still have TWO metal crowns that my prior dentist placed while lying to me and charging me for upgrade to pure porcelain anyway...I am very upset about that mostly because of the extra toxic load this has created on my system when I had thought all mercury and heavy metals were already purged. I am scheduled to remove tooth #14 which has root canal plus metal crown, and then on a separate day to have tooth #3 metal crown removed and I suppose replaced with something non-toxic.

Before I had my tooth #18 extraction done, I had visited a non-holistic dentist who decided he could drill down the tooth to about half its size to reduce the amount of steel post in my mouth...since he knew that my goal was to eliminate any metal in my mouth. Needless to say...that and all other previous Amalgam removals that my non-holistic dentists performed were not using any safety protocols so I don't know how much mercury I was flooded with during this whole removal period over the last two years. Added to that, the high speed drilling down of the steel post in my mouth which took at least 10 minutes with his dental drill gave me a ringing the ears which continues to this day, but which I pray will go away.

All of the above are wreaking havoc on my system overall. I had a sense of well being about one year ago thinking my mercury problems were solved and on the road to recovery. Now I feel I am mired in this battle for health on a daily basis. The two teeth I have left to extract/fix are both on the meridian for the thyroid, which I believe is what is causing my daily high anxiety/borderline constant panic which has gone on for about four months since the drilling of the steel post. I was only able to sleep 2-3 hours per night and was waking up shaking and panicky for no obvious reason at all.

My nervous system has obviously been overwhelmed by all these events and I am eager and praying for a speedy resolution as I get the final two teeth issues resolved. I wanted to share my experience and find out if anyone else has similar experience or any ideas to share.

I feel for everyone going through this ordeal and I guess I will need to also not long from now plan on how to remove all the metals which must be stored up inside. I thought the body must purge some of this naturally itself, but perhaps it needs to be chelated deliberately...not any expert on this part at all. Any thoughts are most welcome.

Horsegal: I hope you are doing well and would love to know if you were able to remove any more of your root canals.

Let's stick together and support each other so we can keep up the strength and the fight. Thank you.
