Root Canals

The root canals of your teeth are a natural chamber that is filled with connective tissue and pulp.

A root canal procedure is the complete removal of the internal structures within the tooth, which includes, nerve tissue, blood vessels, and different types of cells.

You are left then with a dead tooth in your mouth.

Root Canals Are Not The Scientifically Best Treatment For Many

"Literally millions of root canals have been done when in reality there was no need for this procedure." Robert O. Nara DDS

Sometimes the gum of the tooth is inflamed because of a gum problem, not because of a problem with the tooth root.

Tooth Infections Can Be Healed And Prevented

It is possible to heal and prevent a tooth infection. It takes dedication and precision to do this, and it is possible. If you can heal and prevent a tooth infection, then why does the tooth root need to be removed when the body can perform its own cleaning and repair, under the right conditions. Learn about different forms of tooth pain and their meaning.

Exploring Alternatives To Root Canals

If you tooth feels okay, and your dentists says you need a root canal, consider getting a second opinion.

Our body can protect itself from tooth infection, given the right kinds of foods.

Root Canals Can Cause Degenerative Disease

50 years ago Dr. Meinig was one of the founders of the American Association of Endodontists (root canal specialists).

Until Dr. Meinig read 1174 pages of detailed research by Weston Price (D.D.S., M.S., F.A.C.D) one of the world's greatest dentists, and his 60 man research team.

Dr. Meinig's discovery:

"[A] high percentage of chronic degenerative disease can originate from root filled teeth. The most frequent were heart and circulatory diseases. The next most common diseases were those of the joints, arthritis and rheumatism."

Root Canal Cover-Up

If you decide to have a root canal, I encourage you to read Dr. Meinig's courageous work, Root Canal Cover-Up before you get one.

This leaves you with two possibilities:

1. Follow Dr. Meinig's advice, to have the infected tooth extracted along with the removal of some of the adjacent tissues.

2. Heal your teeth and thus prevent the root canal with nutrition!

Infected Roots Requiring Root Canals Can Be Healed With Nutrition

"Recently I ran into several complications with my teeth. I began to develop abscess near my gums. I went to have it checked by my dentist, only to find out that the tooth was infected and I needed a root canal, and a crown. I was devastated by these news, I felt like not only my teeth were failing on me, but also my diet. I've been following Paleo Diet for well over three years. Over the years i've noticed increase in muscle strenght, resistance to common colds, as well as physical endurance. Lately due to financial reasons, I was unable to afford to buy high quality raw grass-fed bison meat, and at times had to resort to SAD (standard american diet). I noticed that whenever I would eat cooked food, especially white flour, I would get an instant reaction, and develop an abscess on my gums withing a fifteen minutes. Later if I ate raw bison meat the swelling would deprecciate and dissapear on the next day. I was upset that i could see the link between my raw meat consumption and reduction in gum swelling, but my dentist could not. Luckly I was recommended to seek out the help of Rami Nagel through my Paleo Diet Yahoo group. I was glad to find someone who was both knowledgeable in proper diet application as well as dental carries. Rami Nagel was able to incorporate both fields, and the knowledge that foods can heal, and recommended me against the root canal procedure. He suggested for me to eat more raw meat, which I have began doing, since then I have zero cases of abscesses. Glad I went against the root canal." - Tim, Student
