Could Laser Treatment Replace Getting A Root Canal?

Low Level Laser Treatment Heals Damaged Teeth

Zapping damaged teeth with a low-power laser stimulates  tooth repair according to a research study on laser therapy that was  published on May 28, 2014 in Science Translational Medicine. The beams of light set off a molecular chain reaction that ends with the regeneration of dentin, the tough stuff inside teeth.

The study  found that low-power laser therapy can stimulate dental stem cells (cells that have the ability to form into other specialized tooth cells) to create dentin, the tooth layer under enamel.
Researchers performed experiments on human dental stem cells to see if laser therapy would stimulate them to produce dentin. They also performed experiments on rodents to see whether laser therapy could increase dentin formation in damaged teeth.

Laser therapy did cause the dental stem cells to grow dentin in human tissue samples and rodents.

What Impact Do These Findings Have?
The fact that they were able to get dentin to grow could help alleviate the need for root canal treatment, the painful procedure to remove dead or dying nerve tissue and bacteria from inside a tooth.
Health Practitioners who are familiar with the principles of biological dentistry have long known about the link between cancer and...

Root Canals: A Risk Factor For Future Cancer

Root Canals Link To Cancer

image root canal tooth
We health practitioners familiar with the principles of biological dentistry have long known about the link between dental problems and degenerative disease, including cancer. When there are problems in the teeth, mouth, or jaw, they can have far reaching negative affects throughout the body. When pathogens, such as bacteria that cause tooth decay, cause a chronic immune mediated inflammatory response this can alter the body's immune system in such a way to allow for diseases to happen anywhere within the body. Poor oral health can also lead to the deterioration of organs or organ complete systems because due to the these various dental factors. Such deterioration, if left unchecked, may even lead to cancer!

One of the first physicians to recognize this fact was the late Dr. Josef M. Issels. Dr. Issels was the first physician to integrate conventional and alternative treatments into a comprehensive treatment program that not only focuses on the cancer cells and tumors but also, with the same importance, on the regulatory, repair and immune mechanisms of the cancer afflicted person as a whole.

In his more than 40 years of treating terminal, end-stage cancer patients, Dr. Issels found that 97% of them had root canals! So convinced was he of the link between root canals and the problems they caused that he would not begin his successful treatments until all root canals had been removed from his patients. 

Dr. Weston Price, DDS, a leading holistic dentist whose research dates back to the early 20th century. Dr. Price was the first dentists to warn of the bacteria that are in and around root canals. According to Dr. Price, the primary bacteria found in root canals include streptococcus, staphylococcus, and spirochetes, all of which can seriously negatively impact your body’s immune system. A weakened immune system, in turn, can cause cancer. In addition, these bacteria, once it enters the blood stream, travels to organs and tissues, causing further harm.

How the FDA is Recklessly Abandoning Drug Safety

Shocking Story Reveals FDA Not Concerned With Drug Safety


 In the wake of shocking reports on how the FDA, terrified of being outed for its questionable practices, spied on its own employees in the hopes of rooting them out before they could become whistleblowers, a new story has emerged on how deep the deceit goes. From marginalizing safety reports to not reading them at all―and then going ahead and approving the drugs in question―the FDA once more stands accused of being little more than a rubber-stamping agency for Big Pharma.
Explosive revelations of an intensive spy operation by the FDA on its own scientists emerged last month. Using sophisticated spy software, the agency tracked and logged every move made by the targeted individuals. The program even intercepted personal emails and copied documents on their personal thumb drives.
The targeted scientists had expressed concern over the agency's approval of dangerous medical imaging devices for mammograms and colonoscopies, which they believe expose patients to dangerous levels of radiation. Now, another whistleblower has stepped forward, and what he has to say about the agency's drug safety reviews is shocking even to the jaded...

Former FDA Reviewer Speaks Out About Systemic Suppression of Safety

Ronald Kavanagh was a drug reviewer for the FDA in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research from 1998 to 2008. In a recent interview he reveals how the FDA bypassed or ignored safety issues on major drugs approved during his employment. In an interview for the online news magazine Truth-Out, he tells Martha Rosenberg1:
"In the Center for Drugs [Center for Drug Evaluation and Research or CDER], as in the Center for Devices, the honest employee fears the dishonest employee.
There is also irrefutable evidence that managers at CDER have placed the nation at risk by corrupting the evaluation of drugs and by interfering with our ability to ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs. While I was at FDA, drug reviewers were clearly told not to question drug companies and that our job was to approve drugs. We were prevented, except in rare instances, from presenting findings at advisory committees.
In 2007, formal policies were instituted so that speaking in any way that could reflect poorly on the agency could result in termination. If we asked questions that could delay or prevent a drug's approval - which of course was our job as drug reviewers - management would reprimand us, reassign us, hold secret meetings about us, and worse. Obviously in such an environment, people will self-censor."
According to Kavanagh, people would be shocked if they knew just how malleable safety data is. As examples, he points out that human studies are typically too short and contain too few subjects to get a clear picture of potential risks. In such a scenario, even a single case of a serious adverse event must be taken very seriously, and data from other longer term safety studies also need to be carefully analyzed. Kavanagh claims he has seen drug reviews where the medical safety reviewer completely failed to make such evaluations prior to the drug's approval.

Thyroid Researchers Say Take T4 Medication Before Bedtime!


“When Should I Take Thyroid Medication?

 
http://brainbasedtherapy.blogspot.com/2012/11/Thyroid-Dosage.html

I get this question asked a lot because of the difficulty often-times of taking Synthroid, Levothyroxine or Armour first thing in the morning and then having to wait 45-90 minutes before consuming anything else, even other prescriptions or supplements.
Why do medical doctors, particularly our endocrinologists, recommend taking the medications in the morning?
The main reason appears to avoid trouble falling asleep; as for some people thyroid medication can cause trouble with sleep.
The problem with food and thyroid hormone replacement medication is that foods alter the way in which the drug is absorbed with some published studies showing about a 20% drop if Synthroid is taken with food, compared to an empty stomach.
Taking Thyroid Hormones At Bedtime…
The results of two studies that have been done concerning dosage timing have shown that taking the same dose levothyroxine at bedtime may actually be better than taking it first thing in the morning. 
A 12-person Dutch study reported in the January 2007 issue of "Clinical Endocrinology" found that levothyroxine was better absorbed when taken at night than during the day
A study reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine (Arch Intern Med 2010;170:1996-2003 ) suggests taking levothyroxine or Synthroid on an empty stomach at bedtime, which  may be the key to lower TSH, higher T4 and T3 levels, and improved absorption of thyroid medication.
Why Would Taking Thyroid Medication Night Be Better?
The researchers suggested several explanations for the thyroid results:
  • The morning dose is questionable for most of us. Why? “On an empty stomach” varies for each person. So, even when waiting at least 30 minutes to eat, breakfast and vitamins and other supplements or medications may be interfering with the intestinal absorption of the medication.

  • “Bowel motility is slower at night,” which means that it takes longer for the levothyroxine tablet to transit through the intestinal system, resulting in longer exposure to the intestinal wall, and therefore, better uptake of the medication.

  • The conversion process of T4 to T3 may be more effective in the evening.
Taking Medication At Bedtime Instead Of In The Morning Is Also Just Easier Sometimes
  • It’s easier, as you don’t have to worry about when to eat breakfast, and then end up not having breakfast, which is adding fuel to the proverbial fire.

  • Taking the medication at night makes it easier to avoid other medications, supplements and foods. Taking your thyroid medicine with coffee, minerals or fiber such as bran cereal or Citrucel can interfere with its absorption. (Thyroid, March, 2008).

  • Plus, taking the medication at night might offer some improvement in symptoms to people who are just not getting optimal absorption by taking thyroid medication during the day.

Researchers Stated That Results Were “Striking”!

The studies were prompted by observation that some patients had improved thyroid hormone profiles after they switched from taking their levothyroxine from morning to bedtime.
Not only did they evaluate the impact of thyroid hormone levels by changing the time of medication, they also evaluated the impact this had on TSH and thyroid hormones and thyroid hormone metabolism.
The studies were fairly conclusive in their findings, which the researchers said were “striking” and which have “important consequences for the millions of patients who take levothyroxine daily.”

Researchers reported that taking medication at bedtime, rather than the morning, results in “higher thyroid hormone concentrations and lower TSH concentrations.”
TSH decreased and Free T4 levels rose in all patients by changing T4 ingestion from early morning to bedtime and T3 levels rose in all but one subject and TSH decreased irrespective of the starting TSH levels, suggesting better absorption of the thyroid medication when taken in the evening.

What I Am NOT Advocating…
To close please understand that I am not telling you that you should, in any way, alter your medication dosing as set by your treating physician. What I do recommend is that you bring these studies up with your doctor on your next visit with your doctor.

If you decide that you want to try taking your thyroid medication in the evening, make sure to check your thyroid levels via blood test within the following six to eight weeks so that your doctor may determine if there is any adjustment to the dosage of your medication.

***CAUTION***
The above research test were done using levothyroxine, which is purely T4 thyroid hormone (Synthroid and Tirosint are two examples) it was not done using hormone replacement drugs that contained T3, such as: NatureThroid, Armour Thyroid or Cytomel.

Because of this fact there is no way of knowing if your sleep would be altered on these types of hormone replacement medications.

Consult with your Primary Physician before altering any medication dosages.

Man Tests Positive On Home Pregnancy Test!


Joking Man’s Pregnancy Test Positive, For Cancer!

A cartoonist thought he was having a good laugh as he posted a story about his friend, who jokingly took a pregnancy test left by an ex-girlfriend and was surprised when the test came back positive.  

"You may have testicular cancer! Get to an oncologist, tell them you took a pregnancy test and it came out positive," one Redditor wrote.

Sure enough, a trip to the doctor revealed a tiny lump in the man's right testicle, according to the Reddit thread.

Pregnancy tests detect the amount of the hormone beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in an individual’s urine.  While the developing placenta produces the hormone during pregnancy, it can also be associated with testicular cancer, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Eventually, the user posted a second post to Reddit, saying his unnamed friend went to the doctor and did indeed have a small testicular tumor.  According to the user, the tumor is easily treatable since it was found early. 

The poster closed with thanking everyone that advised him to have his friend go to have a check-up and also with a website with instructions on how to check yourself for testicular cancer, (without the use of the pregnancy test!)

Go here for instructions on testicle self-exam technique.

Shorten Your Life With Chemo!

-->
Quack Science Alert: Chemotherapy Causes Cancer!

Medical researchers are finally starting to admit that toxic chemotherapy drugs do absolutely nothing to cure cancer, and often cause the cancer patient to die much more quickly than they otherwise would have because of these so-called "treatments."
Cancer Causing Chemotherapy
Dr. Deborah Schrag from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and her colleagues let the cat out of the bag in a recent study they published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), which revealed that most cancer patients have no idea that their disease will never be cured as a result of chemotherapy.
According to the study's findings, as many as 69 percent of terminally ill lung cancer patients and 81 percent of terminally ill colorectal patients have no idea that chemotherapy drugs are totally incapable of curing their cancers. Though they are said to potentially help some cancer patients live slightly longer lives, chemotherapy drugs admittedly do not stop the growth or spread of cancer cells and tumors, which means many of the patients who opt for the treatment are not being told the full truth about its major shortcomings.
Often left out of the discussions between oncologists and their patients is the fact that patients who somehow survive their cancers following chemotherapy poisoning do so IN SPITE OF the treatment, and not because of it.
Poisoning the body with chemicals via chemotherapy only ends up destroying the immune system, causing tumors to grow back and bodily organs to shut down, which obviously shortens their lifespan rather than lengthening it.
Back in August, it was revealed that chemotherapy actually fuels the growth of cancer cells, contradicting many decades' worth of medical lies that continue to claim chemotherapy targets cancer cells for destruction. Any chance the body would have otherwise had for recovery, is all but eliminated as a result of chemotherapy, a “treatment” which literally destroys the body's own innate, cancer-targeting immune factors.

Shorten Your Life With Chemo!
According to Dr. Hossein Borghaei, an oncologist from the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, "There is a lot of harm in not having patients understand the finality of the disease, [Chemotherapy drugs] are very powerful, they have a lot of side effects, the chemotherapy is going to harm you more than it helps you, and it can actually shorten your life. All of this should be taken into account."
Dr. Borghaei's statements are chilling because they affirm what natural health care providers have been saying for quite some time:  
Chemotherapy is nothing but a sham "treatment" that puts cancer patients through needless pain and suffering while making the cancer industry rich.
 Perhaps the most disturbing part about this now-normalized form of medical quackery is that oncologists typically fail to disclose to their patients the fact that chemotherapy does not even cure cancer, which gives them false hope.

"[T]raditional (cancer) therapies like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation do not destroy the small number of cells driving the cancer's growth," said the University of Michigan (UM)'s Comprehensive Cancer Center recently, following the release of several other studies showing that conventionally-accepted cancer treatments are a complete failure.”
This researching further confirms what we've known for years in the holistic health community: Chemotherapy is, flatly stated, just POISON. It's not "treatment," it's not medicine, and it's not prevention or a cure. It's poison with virtually no medicinal value except in perhaps one to two percent of cancer cases.

Chemotherapy Is Medical Fraud.

Aspartame (NutraSweet) Linked To Leukemia and Lymphomas!

-->
Aspartame Linked To Leukemia And Lymphoma In New Landmark Human Study
As few as one diet soda daily may increase the risk for leukemia in men and women, and for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in men, according to new results from the longest-ever running study on aspartame as a carcinogen in humans. Importantly, this is the most comprehensive, long-term study ever completed on this topic, so it holds more weight than other past studies, which appeared to show no risk. And disturbingly, it may also open the door for further similar findings on other cancers in future studies.
22 Years And Over Two Million Person-Years
A total of 2,278,396 person-years of data derived from 77,218 women and 47,810 men over a 22-year is the most thorough and awesomely sheer amount of data to ever been utilized in a study of aspartame (NutraSweet).  Apart from sheer size, what makes this study superior to other past studies is the thoroughness with which aspartame intake was assessed. Every two years, participants were given a detailed dietary questionnaire, and their diets were reassessed every four years. Previous studies which found no link to cancer only ever assessed participants' aspartame intake at one point in time, which could be a major weakness affecting their accuracy.
One Single Diet Soda A Day Increases Leukemia • Multiple Myeloma • Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas
The combined results of this new study showed that just one 12-fl oz. can (355 ml) of diet soda daily leads to: 
  • 42% higher leukemia risk in men and women (pooled analysis) 
  • 102% higher multiple myeloma risk. 
  • 31% higher non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk
These results were based on multi-variable relative risk models, all in comparison to participants who drank no diet soda. It is unknown why only men drinking higher amounts of diet soda showed increased risk for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Note that diet soda is the largest dietary source of aspartame (by far) in the U.S. Every year, Americans consume about 5,250 tons of aspartame in total, of which about 86 percent (4,500 tons) is found in diet sodas.
Confirms Previous Research On Animals
This new study shows the importance of the quality of research. Most of the past studies showing no link between aspartame and cancer have been criticized for being too short in duration and too inaccurate in assessing long-term aspartame intake. This new study solves both of those issues. The fact that it also shows a positive link to cancer should come as no surprise, because a previous best-in-class research study done on animals (900 rats over their entire natural lifetimes) showed strikingly similar results back in 2006: aspartame significantly increased the risk for lymphomas and leukemia in both males and females. More worrying is the follow on mega-study, which started aspartame exposure of the rats at the fetal stage. Increased lymphoma and leukemia risks were confirmed, and this time the female rats also showed significantly increased breast (mammary) cancer rates. This raises a critical question: will future; high-quality studies uncover links to the other cancers in which aspartame has been implicated (brain, breast, prostate, etc.)?

There is now more reason than ever to completely avoid aspartame in our daily diet. The devastation it inflicts on our immune systems should make it a no-brainer! For those who are tempted to go back to sugary sodas as a "healthy" alternative, this study had a surprise finding: men consuming one or more sugar-sweetened sodas daily saw a 66 percent increase in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (even worse than for diet soda).
 The take away from this study....Sodas Kill People!

Flu Vaccine Study Reveals It To Be Quack Science...

Research Proves That Flu Shots Are Medically Useless
October 21, 2012
Member of the Pastoral Medical Association

Have you been waiting in line to get that needle full of Animal DNA, Human Fetal Tissue From Abortions, Mercury Formaldehyde and many more lovely, life improving ingredients? 
Well you may want to read this post first….

A recent study out of the University of Minnesota (UM) suggests that it isn’t necessary, having found that the two groups most at risk from developing serious complications from the flu, seniors and children, derive little or no benefit from getting flu shots.
Michael Osterholm from the UM Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy analyzed more than 12,000 peer-reviewed studies, documents, transcripts, and notes dating back to the 1930s, and found that there was very little solid evidence that the flu shot provides any real protection for most people.
"We found that current influenza vaccine protection is substantially lower than for most routine recommended vaccines and is suboptimal…we can no longer accept the status quo regarding vaccine research and development." said Osterholm about the findings.”
In Osterholm's opinion, a flu shot should ideally be between 85 and 95 percent effective in all age groups before ever being considered effective and useful. This means that the types of flu shots currently administered to hundreds of millions of Americans every single year are COMPLETE MEDICAL QUACKERY.
Yet even this researcher manipulates the numbers to get results. (Can You Say Unethical?!?!),  He claims efficacy in 60% of those vaccinated, but the facts tell otherwise, as do his own numbers.
When taken in the light of the research that was used for this studies' research, the efficacy associated with influenza vaccine is negligible at best.
In a major study published in Lancet 2011, which involved 13,095 non-vaccinated adults who were monitored to see if they caught influenza, which 357 of them did, in fact, contract influenza resulting in 2.7% infection rate.
The vaccinated group, on the other hand, had an overall infection rate of 1.2%.
So even if you believe this study, and even if you believe all the pro-vaccine hype behind it, the truly "scientific" conclusion from this is rather astonishing:

Flu vaccines only prevent the flu in 1.5 out of every 100 adults injected with the vaccine!
So where does this "60% effective" come from?

This is know as Statistical Manipulation", and it's an old statistical trick that the vaccine industry (and the pharmaceutical industry) uses over and over again to trick people into thinking their useless drugs actually work.
First, you take the 2.7% in the control group who got the flu, and you divide that into the 1.2% in the treatment group who got the flu. This gives you roughly 0.45.
You can then say that 0.45 is "45% of 2.7," and claim that the vaccine therefore results in a "60% decrease" in influenza infections. This then becomes a "60% effectiveness rate" claim.
The overall "60% effectiveness" being claimed from this study comes from adding additional data about vaccine efficacy for children, which returned higher numbers than adults. 
There were other problems with the data for children, however, including one study that showed an increase in influenza rates in the second year after the flu shot.
So when the media (or your doctor, or pharmacist, or CDC official) says these vaccines are "60% effective," this, to the average person, means that of 100 vaccinated people, 60 of them will not get the flu.
However, as you have seen, this is not the case, if you were to 100 adults then 1.5 of them would avoid getting the flu.
In other words, to prevent 60 people from getting the flu a total of 4,000 people would have to be immunized!
Or, put another way, flu vaccines do nothing in 98.5% of adults.
But you've probably already noticed that the mainstream media won't dare print this statistical revelation. They would much rather mislead everybody into the utterly false and ridiculous belief that flu vaccines are "60% effective," whatever that means.
As for children and flu shots, well the evidence is lacking at best and what is spewed by those that profit from these vaccines is just parroted from what they have been told or seen, because if they would just read some research they would know things such as: A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo (Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2006;1:CD004879).

How To “Cook The Books” With Statistics!
This little statistical lying technique is very popular in the cancer industry, too, where these "relative numbers" are used to lie about all sorts of drugs.
You may have heard, for example, that a breast cancer drug is "50% effective at preventing breast cancer!"
 But what does that really mean? It could mean that 2 women out of 100 got breast cancer in the control group, and only 1 woman out of 100 got it in the treatment group. Thus, the drug is only shown to work on 1 out of 100 women. 
But since 1 is 50% of 2, they will spin the store and claim a "50% breast cancer prevention rate!"
And most consumers will buy into this because they don't understand how the medical industry lies with these statistics. So they will think to themselves, "Wow, if I take this medication, there is a 50% chance this will prevent breast cancer for me!"
And yet that's utterly false. In fact, there is only a 1% chance it will prevent breast cancer for you, according to the study.

 Real Protection From The Flu…


Become Pro-Active with your health! Eat more organic fruits and vegetables, especially green leafy veggies, supplement with garlic, colloidal silver, plenty of B vitamins, get plenty of good quality sleep every night and drink plenty of purified, mineral-rich water.

These are just some of the highly effective ways to naturally avoid the flu without risking potentially deadly side effects.
