Re: Morgellons Cure is Yet Unknown
And, a follow-up on the
root canal philosophy...The normal, healthy human mouth is KNOWN to harbor MORE "germs" "cooties" .pathogens of every description....than even the dreaded filthy mouth of Felis sylvestris, (the common housecat).
It's obviously impossible to prevent pathogen entry into the human mouth; however,(thank God) we have an immune system to handle this, so most pathogens do not survive past our oral cavity. Within the mouth environment, pathogen populations can be controlled by flossing with tea tree oil or real grapefruit seed extract, and brushing with baking soda and
Sea Salt . Gargling and swishing with Listerine for a prolonged period (1 min+) also might support a less infectious mouth envt.
All treatments are aimed at making the mouth unlivable for invaders, but the mouth cannot be continually maintained in this state. I hope that's obvious-- note that anything we use to disinfect our mouth is at least partly absorbed into the body as well, via gums and mouth.... which could harm us, not sure.
But bottom line, a few of these pathogens are left lingering in your mouth, even after brushing, flossing, swishing. They are waiting until an injury occurs (think: hot food mouth burn, or accidentally biting your tongue/inner cheek); this injury creates a vulnerability...a place where our immune system is over-stretched and the pathogen can slip past our already-busy T-cells and white cells. Once inside the body, the pathogen can become systemic (i.e. it can travel along our natural pathways -- nerves, blood vessels) and thus, can infect any weakened part of our body that it may encounter in its travels. And there's no looking back: It now requires systemic treatments, not the topical remedies that we've been discussing, incl oral hygiene.
Now reflect: A wisdom tooth extraction creates a HUGE portal for pathogen entry. It is a severe injury, (stop thinking of it as a "dental procedure" ..even doctors and dentists refer to it as "major surgery"). The tooth extraction is an intentional breach of our external barrier: stretching far deeper than our first-responder immune system can handle. Recall that a wisdom tooth is a broken bone that has been left open to the outer world.(!) The extraction creates a hole that directly exposes our deepest cerebral veins and arteries to our infectious mouth environment (cooties, etc). It leaves a hole in our jaw bone, so pathogens can go there, too. ! Yes, think about it. It's like an engraved invitation for pathogens to enter our system at the deepest level, assuming they're aggressive enough to get through.
My doctor explained that a wisdom tooth extraction is so stressful that it takes our sympatho-adrenal system 2 weeks to recover. (Sympatho-adrenal is a big big part of our immune and stress-response system). It was a Very Painful two weeks.
During my healing it was obvious to me that I was not just trying to heal the damaged tissue, but I was fighting a deep, systemic infection that had been awakened or stimulated, or exacerbated by the tooth extraction. I was in bed for over two months, completely unable to function. Opiate pain meds were the only effective solution. I'm still taking the meds, and as I write, I feel a second bone fragment starting to emerge from my gums and jaw. Wisdom tooth removal is not an exact science.
Prophylactically (ahead of time, prior to the extraction), I researched and took
Antibiotics , antifungals, etc., in order to reduce the chance of the rampant systemic infection I was anticipating. I'm pretty sure my efforts were unsuccessful. The Take away message: I would never intentionally violate my body's natural immune barriers again, I'd rather fight invaders by strengthening my barriers from the inside...not breaking them down.
Once internal (systemic) the pathogen ignores systemic
Antibiotics and anti-fungal prescription meds, as well as acyclovir (anti-erpes) and, of course, traditional anthelmintics such as ivermectin, palmatyl pamoate, albendazole, fenbendazole. All are virtually worthless. Not sure why, but once systemic, the
parasite has a deff advantage. It's very resistant to most medications, both topical and systemic. I think once it becomes systemic, there are just too many opportunities for it to flourish, and combatting it becomes a multifaceted experience.
(Don't forget, I've been diagnosed with mersa, but my doctor is still on the fence with that dx) Yeah, maintaining an alkaline system is probably a good idea. But I'm not sure. cheers.
