I'm having an interesting experience (experiment?) with a tooth that I was told needs a root canal. I put this on the root canal Forum but they didn't pay any attention. Guess they think I'm just a nutcase. I put the appt off until Nov hoping to come up with some alternative. And the pain got so severe I didn't know what I was going to do. Then I remembered this Detoxified Iodine I had bought last year from CayceConcepts.com (it killed a fungus on my toenail) and I put a drop on the painful tooth and the pain stopped immediately. So you can imagine I was using it pretty often and I thought I better email Phil Thomas who runs this company. He said that the Iodine would bring the tooth back to normal but it would take some time. And he said it was safe but every once in awhile take a couple of days off because it is a stimulant. I haven't had to use it now for some time (the tooth feels fine) but I can't give you anything definite until I go back to the dentist in Nov. and get xrays done again. Pretty interesting though, don't you think?
