I think dentist make a lot of their money pulling wisdom teeth. I was told by several that mine would grow out of the sides of my gums and that I should have them removed. That was lie. They did not grow in that way. Even to this day when they find out I still have my wisdom teeth, they want to rip them out. Why?

Dr. Hal Huggins was getting his license pulling for doing this in the 1970s.

I would like to know the doctor in Spain who fixes root canals, and if you have any in the States also. I have 9 root canals (a dentist fooled me that I needed them) and am seriously concerned what to do about them. To take out all these teeth will leave me with only my front teeth which at this point is unthinkable.

I have all my wisdom teeth and they're fine. Though I still have one filling that needs to be removed and one root canal. My fear of dentists aside, I'm going to have to bite that bullet soon if I want to stay healthy. BTW, have you looked into Thiamine (B1) therapy for Parkinson? It works to quell the shakes. When I read about it, I told my Pastor whose hands were shaking uncontrollably, he decided to give sublingual thiamine a try. His shaking noticeably stopped within days - there's still some residual shaking, but now the communion wine stays in the cup. I am not a doctor (I'm just into researching natural remedies for what ails), but perhaps if you look into it, it might help.

Dr. Yoho, I had my mercury fillings pulled years ago (vanity) and replaced with the cosmetic amalgams...now I am wondering about root canals....what can be done other than pull them?

I am incredibly vain about my teeth (spent a fortune on them) and I can't live with being toothless....

I don't remember what they put up in the root canal....and I think I just had one redone because it was infected...and they put dead people's cadaver up in it...

Ugh.

I had TWO root canals done about 2 years AFTER I had beautiful porcelain veneers installed. Same tooth on opposite sides became infected (I now fully understand why people take painkillers) about 6 months apart from one another. I have heard endodontist are making a killing since veneers have come on the market. Before that I had ZERO root canals. I did go to a holistic endodontist, was give vitamin C intravenously and he had a better system of cleaning and HOPEFULLY sterilizing that two bad teeth. But who knows really. So far no health issues. My VANITY got me into this situation - the veneers LOOK great, but honestly - I would not consent to this expensive procedure knowing what I now know. Not worth the risk.

Hey Dr. Yoho,

Nice article. It is good to see you taking your dental health into account for optimal health and vitality.

There are many good dentists in the states that specialize in safe mercury replacements and chelation. I was one of them and was trained by Dr. Huggins and many others. The IAOMT organization is a great place to start. Look for a dentist especially trained in safe mercury replacements. I did not trust Mexican dentistry but I know the reasons you chose this route.

I would not use the Biocomp Laboratory for your dental material testing. It is wrong to many times.

I used OSR1 for excellent chelation instead of the useless EDTA. I have since retired and had a book, Holistic Dental Care, published that summarizes the ways dental health can effect your whole body.

I will pray for you and your recovery.

Blessings

Dr. Yoho I empathize with you for I too now have a tremor. My primary care doctor diagnosed it as a basic “essential tremor” and I await my November appointment with a neurologist (I couldn’t get one sooner). I’m not optimistic because the cause can be a million different things. I did have my mercury amalgam fillings removed a while ago.

I also have diabetes for six years now and my A1C has gone up in the last year from the 6’s to the 7’s. I have tried to avoid medication but now my endocrinologist is recommending it. My dilemma is that taking medication is like substituting one poison for another. But the prospect of walking around with high blood sugar numbers alarms me (six years ago I was almost at 14 A1C). I have tried to lower my numbers via diet and herbs but now maybe the honeymoon period is over. Any comments?

I refused to have my wisdom teeth removed and was told they would cause major problems later-still waiting

WoW! Power packed info and for that... I thank you! All things for a reason, I firmly believe! So when this great info pops up on my phone... I read it. My son is disabled & soon to be put under w/anesthesia and have cavities filled & teeth extracted. The more I read up on dental the more horrified I become! Living in this world today is like living in a never ending nightmare. Truth 101

Thank You For Sharing ♥️

Your essays on dentistry have prompted great conversations with friends. We ponder how many 'drill and bills' we experienced. We mourn the extraction of so many teeth - wisdom plus molars - because we were deemed to have small mouths. Such stupidity. We ponder if 'dry mouth' syndrome, especially at night, is related to weak jaws. I have no idea, but your essays have given true "food for thought" to chomp upon.

Congratulations on your journey

Mercola, Mike mew, klimghardt evt...are all health information heros. Yes, I'm hopeful the next generation with fewer if any amalgams like my adult kids will have less Alzheimer's and neuro problems. 😊

Thank you for such an informative article and showing pictures, procedures etc. The downside is the huge cost of all of this .

I was, and still am experiencing, health issues. For over two years no one could explain why. I searched for the answer relentlessly. One day, while reading the comments of a Substack about metals in vaccines, a gentleman by the name of Mark Kennard, wrote about how his health was damaged by metal implants. I had all the symptoms he described and I said, I have to talk to Mark. Little did I know he lives in New Zealand. That is how my story began. I have learned so much since then. I have had all the metal removed from my mouth, and am now focusing on getting the metal rods in my right leg removed. I asked the dentist that removed my root canals, "how many people do you believe have undiagnosed medical problems that can be traced directly to metal in their body?". He said "hundreds of thousands, if not more". I believe that is a very conservative guesstimate. This has become my current life focus. That dentists and doctors are getting away with this at no consequence is one of the biggest cover-ups in history.
