root canal connection to acupuncture meridians, organ health

[Guest guest]

Hello groupees:

 

I believe I have a root-canaled tooth (front upper incisor)that is

infected (probably for all of its 30-year life)and may be at

the " root " of some health problems I've had, including weak adrenals.

According to acupuncture charts, this tooth is on the left kidney

meridian (and I studied chinese medicine, so I know a little about

this). A few years ago I was hooked up (to demonstrate) a new russian

acupuncture gizmo that read the strength of the meridians. Eleven

were healthy and strong, but the left kidney was weak. The german

doctor running the test asked me if I had a root canal. I said " yes. "

He then guessed the location in my mouth(!) So anyway, I'm finally

convinced that I need to do something about it. I was told by one

holixtic dentist that the only non-toxic treatment was to do a bridge

made of non-toxic metals and would cost around $3000. does anyone

know about other options? Laser therapy? I've read that Biocalex etc

is no better than the old gutta percha filling material. It looks

like there is just no way to seal up a tooth and not expect infection.

 

Any comments appreciated!

 

Thanks,

If you have any lingering doubts about whether or not to have the

tooth removed, please read this page:

I never knew my dad without his " bridge " . It never gave him any

trouble, that I could see. No complaints at all. I think that if I

had a tooth that they offered to do a root canal in, I would choose

to have it removed instead.

 

My mom had a root canal in a tooth in her later years. I wish now

that I had learned which tooth it was. She got breast cancer and

died from cancer treatment at age 58.

 

Dr. Price's work is fascinating. You can learn more about him and

his work on this site as well:

The things I have learned from their articles have kept me from

having to depend on regular use of any medications.

I had found this same resource a while back and

wondered if he was any good. It is encouraging to

hear this kind of endorsement. Perhaps you could save

some money by going to Mexico.

Also, this is a recommended holistic dentist in

British Columbia. With the exchange rate, going there

would save you a little, too. Check out his website.

He was recommended by newsforthesoul.com

Regarding Dr. Morales in Mexico,

This letter was published in the Curezone.com

newsletter:

 

" I wanted to tell everyone about my experience in case

you need dental work and can't afford it.

 

I had 9 amalgams and a bad crown that needed to come

out. I had been reading the bikerchicks website with

great interest but was afraid to go that far (I'm in

Florida.) I thought I'd rather spend a little more

money and go with a local dentist.

 

I found a local holistic, metalfree dentist and went

for an appointment with him. He told me that 4 of my

amalgams were so large that they would need to be

crowned instead of refilled. Also, my crowned tooth

looked on the xray to be dying so he could either do a

root canal or pull it and put in a bridge. I knew I

didn't want a root canal (and was surprised that a

holistic dentist would even do it) but wasn't happy to

think that two perfectly good molars would be ground

down for a bridge either. He finally gave me a total

cost of $10,000 which included around $3,000 for the

bridge.

 

I had several misgivings about this dental office,

from the whiter-than-white teeth on their too-large,

perfect smiles, all the way up to the price which was

way more than I could pay.

 

I began emailing Torrie

(www.bikerchick.freehomepage.com)for more information

and finally she set up an appointment with her

dentist, Dr Morales, in Mexico. I was very skeptical

because for all I knew Torrie was really a man who

lured unsuspecting dental patients over the border,

bopped them on the head and stole their travelers

checks. But she put me in touch with about a dozen

real people all over the country with real phone

numbers and real stories of how he was a great

dentist, so I began to feel more comfortable.

 

My husband and I flew to San Diego and stayed in the

hotel that Torrie recommended, The International Motor

Inn, and saw Dr Morales the next morning. The motel

was clean and comfortable, and it had a full

kitchenette which was great. The best thing about the

motel was that they offer free shuttles to the clinics

in Tijuana. A lot of people apparently go there for

other medical procedures like cancer treatment and

plastic surgery. Our bus driver was a lively, jovial

soul named Raoul, who further put me at ease when he

told me that everyday he brings people across the

border who come from all over the world just to see Dr

Morales because he is THE BEST dentist!

 

Because I was having a lot done and would use the

conscious IV sedation, they offered a massage

beforehand. According to Torrie it was a good idea

because it stimulated the lymph glands to help with

detox. The massage was given in a room upstairs by two

nice women who knew what they were doing. After the

massage I was so relaxed I couldn't even get worked up

over the IV which I normally would hate.

 

The dental work took about 5 hours. He ended up

pulling the crowned tooth which I was glad of because

it had been giving me pain for a long time. He also

did three cavitations where my wisdom teeth had been

pulled out 20 years ago. The total bill including the

massage, the cavitations, the vitamin c IV, the IV

sedation was only $2,000.

 

We had to go back again for the partial and met some

very interesting people in the waiting room, including

one man who had had rheumatoid arthritis so bad he

couldn't lift his arms to even wash himself. He had

been crippled, homeless, and suicidal, but just

getting out his mercury fillings totally healed him!

Another lady was from Missouri, I asked how she heard

about Dr Morales told us she had been seeing Dr Hulda

Clark and Dr Clark herself had recommended him! People

really do come from all over the world to see Dr.

Morales!

 

Dr Morales himself was very nice, and followed all the

protocols so I felt very good about my experience. He

also answered all my followup questions and didn't try

to sell me any other products or services, which was

nice. I didn't need 4 new crowns after all, for which

I was very thankful! Also, he did the 3 cavitations

which I didn't know I needed until he explained them

in detail.

 

The day after the dental work I noticed that the

arthritis in my hands was gone! I wasn't expecting

that and it was a nice surprise. Overall, I'm very

thankful I went to him. I don't think I could have

found a better dentist no matter how hard I looked or

how much money I spent. I figured that flying myself

and my husband out and paying for a rental car and the

motel and food, and shopping, we spent around $1,000.

That and the $2,000 for the dental work meant we still

saved $7,000 over the cost of the local dentist.

 

We never did get to meet Torrie, we ended up renting a

car so we didn't need her transportation service. As

far as I can tell, that's the only way she makes money

from this, is from the transporting people to and from

the airport. Yet she answered all my emails and

questions and was just generally helpful in

facilitating this. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't

have been able to do this. Torrie, you're doing a

great service! I appreciate it so much!

 

If you need any kind of dental care, I HIGHLY

recommend Dr Morales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, it's

well worth it for me to go back to him (from Florida,

no less!) for any dental work I need in the future,

because he's the first dentist I've ever trusted. If

you're really short on money you can keep costs down

further because we didn't really need the rental car

and I also got the massage and vit c IV which are not

essential. Hm, if I was really broke I would

hitchhike... Like one patient I met in the waiting

room said, " I'd crawl over broken glass to see Dr

Morales! "

 

Go get your amalgams out, you'll be so glad you did!!!
