root canals
Hi, I had a root canal tooth that bothered me for years. They actually did
the root canal procedure twice and the side of my face ached all the time.
There were also times when even the thought of chewing on crackers, before
ER4YT of course, was painful. When I finally had the tooth out, I lost the
one next to it too, as the infection had spread. The one thing my dentist
said to me that has always stuck was this: Root canals were originally a
temporary procedure, until people could get to an oral surgeon. Once a root
canal is performed, the tooth is dead, and the body then begins trying to
expel it as it does with anything dead. Think about a splinter in your
finger. Some people handle them with no problems, some are okay until they
reach the magic number for their body and then all kinds ailments occur. If
you can find someone with a chart, I think you will surprised to find that
whatever meridian the tooth is on has been acting up, trying to get your
attention. I would NEVER have a root canal again. I have been pain free
since the surgery. BTW, the surgeon told me to start thinking about the
offending tooth as loose, and coming out easily as he began to numb me. I
told him I had already told that tooth that it was out of there. He got a
grip with his pliers and the tooth literally flew across the room it came out
so fast and easily. I shudder to think of all the harm the recurring courses
of antibiotics did to my system as well.
I wish you all the best and will be happy to answer any questions I can. I
know that Dr. Huggins has written several books on the subject, although I
can’t remember any of the titles.

I’ve had 2 root canals with gold posts and 4 crowns with no problems.
However, I have had most of my metal fillings replaced with plastic over the
years. As far as “dead” things in your body, my understanding is that the
body will encase the foreign object as in a bone pin or bullet. I was amazed
to find out that doctors leave bullets and bullet fragments in the body all
of the time along with metal plates, bone pins, etc.
