Biggest Health Threat to the United States - US Dentistry...

http://www.bolenreport.net/feature_articles/feature_article030.htm

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen 

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

 

The US Health Care System, rated 72nd in quality, but number one in cost  -

worldwide, is known, by government reports, to be the NUMBER ONE KILLER of

Americans - ahead of heart disease, cancer, and strokes.  There is no argument

against facts.

 

But what is up for speculation are the REASONS why this is so.  No one I know

of (government agencies, think tanks, etc.) has taken the time to describe,

and rate, the reasons why US citizens are being so short-changed.

 

It is easy to point fingers at the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and

show their faults.  We could point with certainty at those industries that spew

their toxic waste into society.  We could certainly talk endlessly about the

greed and corruption in the health insurance industry, and their penchant to

offer the crappiest of health care paradigms as the only choices they'll pay

for.  We could point our fingers at the hospital system, our nursing homes, and

the tendency towards " five-minute medicine. "   We could talk about State

Regulatory Boards and their inability, and unwillingness to cull out bad

practitioners, and bad practices.  We could talk about the intentional actions

of the

sleazy " quackbuster "

http://www.quackpotwatch.org/WisconsinWar/who_are_these_so.htm operation to

stop any innovation in health care.

 

I've written about all of these problems - and so have many others.

 

But what if there is an industry, completely trusted by the public, that

knowingly, and intentionally, is causing significant harm to America's health?

 

There is one.  It is called " Official dentistry " and I believe that this

entity, by itself, is the number one problem in American health care. 

 

Let me tell you why I think so...

 

The Self-Serving Dental Bureaucracy  - " Official dentistry "   is not now, and

has not been for some time, about Dentists or dentistry.  It is about the

Dental Bureaucracy protecting the IMMENSE CASH FLOW FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES, into

that bureaucratic system.  That huge amount of cash sets " Official dentistry's "

priorities, and THOSE PRIORITIES do not serve the needs of America's Dentists,

and certainly not the needs of  the American public.  Dentists, within the

system, have little, or no, control over what happens in American Dentistry. 

 

Simply, " Official dentistry " is controlled by those that write the checks to

that bureaucracy.  For instance, forty-two percent of the ADA's annual income

is from " Product Endorsement. "   And, to my knowledge, that 42% DOES NOT

INCLUDE the money " Official dentistry " gets from the US fertilizer industry.

 

The fertilizer industry?  Did I say " The fertilizer industry? "

 

Yup, that's exactly what  I said. 

 

So why would the fertilizer industry give money to the dental bureaucracy? 

Keep reading, and you'll find out. And, you won't like what I'm going to tell

you.

 

It appears to me that the sheer volume of dollars pouring into " Official

dentistry " from outside sources has corrupted the dental bureaucracy's

thinking. 

Instead of looking out for the interests of Dentists in the field, and the

American public, they look out for providers, suppliers and any entities willing

to write big checks to that bureaucrac .  Want some examples?  I'll give you

FOUR of them here.

 

(1)  The " Fluoride " in the Water Problem - The number one promoter of

fluoride in our water supply is " official dentistry. "   And, it is extremely

profitable for them to do this - even though they know the horrible

consequences.  The

amount of money that changes hands is astronomical.  They " forget " to tell the

public, and their member Dentists, where all that promotional money they get,

and throw around, comes from.  It comes from the US fertilizer industry.  The

so-called " fluoride " they use, fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6)

http://www.earthisland.org/eijournal/fluoride/fluoride_phosphates.html ,

according to George

C. Glasser, writing for the Earth Island Institute, the fertilizer industries

have to PAY TO GET RID OF,  because it's a deadly, toxic, hazardous, waste of

those industries.  In fact Glasser says of its production in Central Florida:

 

Phosphate fertilizer manufacturing and mining are not environment friendly

operations. Fluorides and radionuclides are the primary toxic pollutants from

the manufacture of phosphate fertilizer in Central Florida. People living near

the fertilizer plants and mines, experience lung cancer and leukemia rates that

are double the state average. Much of West Central Florida has become a toxic

waste dump for phosphate fertilizer manufacturers. Federal and state

pollution regulations have been modified to accommodate phosphate fertilizer

production and use: These regulations have included using recovered pollution

for water

fluoridation.

 

Radium wastes from filtration systems at phosphate fertilizer facilities are

among the most radioactive types of naturally occurring radioactive material

(NORM) wastes. The radium wastes are so concentrated, they cannot be disposed

of at the one US landfill licensed to accept NORM wastes, so manufacturers dump

the radioactive wastes in acidic ponds atop 200-foot-high gypsum stacks. The

federal government has no rules for its disposal.

 

During the late 1960s, fluorine emissions were damaging crops, killing fish

and causing crippling skeletal fluorosis in livestock. The EPA became concerned

and enforced regulations requiring manufacturers to install pollution

scrubbers. At that time, the facilities were dumping the concentrated pollution

directly into waterways leading into Tampa Bay.

 

 

Feel good that " Official dentistry " is making truckloads of money telling

YOUR community that this stuff belongs in your water?  If you are not convinced

yet - read this below:

 

 

In the late 1960s, EPA chemist Ervin Bellack worked out the ideal solution to

a monumental pollution problem. Because recovered phosphate fertilizer

manufacturing waste contain about 19% fluorine, Bellack concluded that the

concentrated " scrubber liquor " could be a perfect water fluoridation agent. It

was a

liquid and easily soluble in water, unlike sodium fluoride - a waste product

from aluminum manufacturing. It was also inexpensive.

 

Fate also intervened. The aluminum industry, which previously supplied sodium

fluoride for water fluoridation, was facing a shortage of fluorspar used in

smelting aluminum. Consequently, there was a shortage of sodium fluoride to

fluoridate drinking water.

 

For the phosphate fertilizer industry, the shortage of sodium fluoride was

the key to turning red ink into black and an environmental liability into a

perceived asset. With the help of the EPA, fluorosilicic acid was transformed

from

a concentrated toxic waste and a liability into a " proven cavity fighter. "

 

The EPA and the US Public Health Service waived all testing procedures and -

with the help of the American Dental Association (ADA) - encouraged cities to

add the radioactive concentrate into America's drinking water as an " improved "

form of fluoride.

 

The product is not " fluorine " or " fluoride " as proponents state: It is a

pollution concentrate. Fluorine is only one captured pollutant comprising about

19% of the total product.

 

And, then read this:

 

In promoting the use of the pollution concentrate as a fluoridation agent,

the ADA, Federal agencies and manufacturers failed to mention that it was

radioactive. Whenever uranium is found in nature as a component of a mineral, a

host

of other radionuclides are always found in the mineral in various stages of

decay. Uranium and all of its decay-rate products are found in phosphate rock,

fluorosilicic acid and phosphate fertilizer.

 

During wet-process manufacturing, trace amounts of radium and uranium are

captured in the pollution scrubber. This process was the subject of an article

by

H.F. Denzinger, H. J. König and G.E. Krüger in the fertilizer industry

journal, Phosphorus & Potassium (No. 103, Sept./Oct. 1979) discussed how

radionuclides are carried into the fluorosilicic acid.

 

While the uranium and radium in fluorosilicic acid are known carcinogens, two

decay products of uranium are even more carcinogenic: radon-222 and

polonium-210.

 

During the acidulation process that creates phosphoric acid, radon gas

contained in the phosphate pebble can be released in greater proportions than

other

decay-rate products (radionuclides) and carried over into the fluorosilicic

acid. Polonium may also be captured in greater quantities during scrubbing

operations because, like radon, it can readily combine with fluoride.

 

In written communications to the author, EPA Office of Drinking Water

official Joseph A. Cotruvo and Public Health Service fluoridation engineer

Thomas

Reeves have acknowledged the presence of radionuclides in fluorosilicic acid.

Glasser's whole article. " Official dentistry "  has known, all

along, the source of this so-called " fluoride, " and is knowingly, and

intentionally, and for a lot of money, primarily responsible for the insertion

of a

deadly toxic waste into our water supply.

 

Last year, in Bellingham, Washington a pro-fluoride group (made up of TWO

people) spent $258.493.03 trying to promote fluoridation.  Anti-fluoride people

ate them up, defeating the issue with a huge majority vote.  Where'd the

" pro-fluoride " money come from?  Guess...  Want to read about how a successful

anti-fluoride campaign (Bellingham) works?  Click here

(2)  The Mercury Amalgam Problem - For years, " official dentistry "   has told

the public that those shiny fillings in your mouth were " silver fillings, "

when in fact there is little, or no silver in them.  They are, in fact 52 to 54%

mercury, the deadliest of toxins, and over your lifetime, they leak that

mercury into your body system, every time you swallow, or breathe in those

mercury

vapors - in essence, continuously.  And you suffer for it.  " Official

dentistry "   is hammering your immune system - for money.

 

I'm not going to dwell on this.

(3)  The Industry Control Problem - Almost half of the annual income for the

American Dental Association (ADA) is from so-called " product endorsement. "  In

other words, the ADA bureaucracy has a financial interest in maintaining the

status quo.  In short, I think if you have a new dental product you want to

put on the market, you are going to give the ADA bureaucracy a piece of the

action - or else... 

 

And, I believe, if your new product conflicts with the sales, and the

viability of one of the dental " good ole boy's " products, or services, you're in

for

a hard ride. 

 

(4)  The " Pretty Teeth " versus " Healthy Mouth " controversy. 

 

American Dentistry doesn't compare well worldwide.  In Europe, to become a

Dentist, you must first become an MD.  Dentistry, in Europe, is a medical

specialty, like Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Oncology, Psychiatry. There,

Dentistry has a much different focus - body health. 

 

In the US, " official dentistry, "   through national marketing programs, has

turned " teeth " into a sexual conquest tool (whiter, brighter, sexier smile). 

There is in the US, virtually NO INTEREST in the health problems surrounding

teeth.  In fact, Dentists who cross the line into " health " problems (Biological

Dentists) are openly attacked by " Official dentistry. "  

 

For a quick summary of the problems with US Dentistry, try reading the short

article by Robert & Kerrie Broe, authors of " Truth Decay " by clicking here

http://tuberose.com/Dental_health.html .  For MUCH MORE information, click here

http://www.saveyourteeth.com/book_store.htm to see a list of books on this

subject. I recommend all of them. 

 

As Robert & Kerrie Broe say:

 

The renowned German physician Dr. Reinhard Voll estimated that nearly 80% of

all illness is related entirely or partially to problems in the mouth. The

reason the teeth are such a threat to health is that, in addition to their

connection to every organ and gland in the body, they can harbor infections

without

symptoms. There's no pain or discomfort. Yet, there may be chronic infection

eroding the body's immune response-wearing out the immune system. This

infection is very difficult to detect. Few people today have escaped the

problems of

dental cavities and gum infection. About 98% of Americans have some areas of

diseased gum tissue in their mouths, over half of these are also experiencing a

progressive " bone loss. " Fortunately, cavities and pyorrhea (gum disease and

bone loss) are both 100% preventable and reversible.

 

 

One of the most important legal challenges in the US on this subject,

recently, was the " Cavitat v. Aetna " Federal Case.  There we learned that

" Official

dentistry " was in a sheer panic about the Cavitat Medical device and its effect

on Dentistry - and they were trying to use Aetna to do what they were unable,

and had been unable, to accomplish.

 

And, what was " Official dentistry "   trying to accomplish? - the destruction

of the emerging idea that the long ignored " cavitations in the jawbone " problem

is a serious dental, and health, issue that cannot be ignored.

 

What was so frightening, to " Official dentistry " , about the Cavitat device

http://cavitatmedtech.homestead.com/CavitatUSA1.html ?  There's an easy answer. 

It detects the presence of cavitations in the jawbone using an ultrasound

principal.  It sees those cavitations LONG BEFORE they'd be picked up on x-ray. 

As a tool that does that, cutting-edge dentists have been using it to justify

dental procedures surrounding damage to the jawbone - in severe cases using

expensive jawbone surgery techniques.  In short, the attack against Cavitat, and

proponents of the cavitational issue is because it is believed that ALL

cavitational issues are caused by POOR DENTISTRY, meaning poor work performed by

US

Dentists - a scandal " Official dentistry "   is not willing to face.  One

example is the whole idea of " root canals. "

 

As Robert & Kerrie Broe say:

 

The philosophy underlying the teaching of dentistry limits its practice to

mechanics, pain control and aesthetics. The systemic effects of dental treatment

are rarely considered.

 

The root canal procedure is a fatally flawed procedure. The very nature of

the procedure itself prevents it from achieving its supposed primary goal: a

non-infected, sterile tooth. There is a high risk of keeping in the mouth a dead

tooth that can harbor anaerobic bacteria, viruses and fungi, where neither the

body's immune system nor antibiotics can fight them off. Sooner or later the

root canaled tooth's bacteria and their toxins can invade the body, weakening

the immune system, the nervous system, the heart, etc. yet often without the

medical doctor even thinking to suspect the role that is being played by an

infected, toxic tooth.

 

Of equal interest is the relationship of root filled teeth to traditional

Chinese medicine and body energies. All teeth are linked to the body via

acupuncture meridians and having a root filled tooth, a large amalgam filling, a

crown, or anything that is not compatible with the body, on a meridian may set

up

an interference field, blocking or altering the energy flow ( the chi ')

passing through this meridian and cause a disease in an organ or body function

remote from the tooth. For example a front upper incisor is on the Kidney/

Bladder

meridians and having a root treated tooth here may cause gynecological

problems, kidney problems, impotence, and sterility if you follow a Chinese

medicine

theme. These teeth also relate to spinal segments and joints, the front

incisor relates to the coccyx and posterior knee and to L2, L3, S3, and 6.

 

If the tooth is removed, the energy does tend to pass through it; however,

without the tooth in the bone, it is still altered. Without stimulation from a

tooth, blood circulation and lymphatic drainage will be impaired, and the bone

and tissue surrounding the extraction site can become diseased (cavitations

http://www.tuberose.com/Cavitations.html ) and die. Infections in the teeth and

toxins have no place to go but down; down into the jawbone and into the rest

of the body, creating systemic pathologies. Some dentists are trained to look

for these areas on X-rays and Cavitat procedures and when these areas are

treated they can also bring considerable improvements in patients health. This

energetic relationship between teeth and the rest of the body is opening whole

new

 

 avenues of dental care and the chance for dentists to work with other

complementary health workers.

 

It is assumed in dentistry that the extent of bone loss is a direct

indication of the amount of infection present. This is a false assumption

because the

bone loss may take time to develop. The extent of the bone loss about the end

of the root is also a function of the body's immune system being able to

isolate the infection process. It has little to do with the degree of infection.

Sometimes there is no bone loss, but instead, a condensation of bone about the

end of a dead tooth. Dentists are taught that this indicates a lack of

infection. The reality is that teeth showing a Condensing Osteitis are

demonstrating

that the body's immune system is incapable of quarantining the infection

locally. These are often the teeth which cause the greatest systemic effects.

 

 

On the side of the " cavitation problem " were, and are, Dentists and Dental

schools, and textbook writers - some of the foremost people in Dentistry in the

United States.  On the opposite is " Official dentistry " and their flotilla of

interested people - using Robert S. Baratz MD, DDS, PhD as their

standard-bearer and chief spokesperson.   Baratz, we know, has been terminated

from

virtually every job he's ever had - the last because he sexually harassed his

female

employee. 

 

In summary...

 

Think about what I just wrote. Besides promoting, for money, two separate

sources of deadly toxins (fluoride and mercury amalgam), and locking up

innovation in Dental care, " Official dentistry " is attacking those that point

out

health related problems, especially those that dare to point out that " what

happens

in your mouth affects your whole body. " - heavily.

 

And that's insane...

 

In short - It is up to the other health professions, and the general public

at large, to fill in that gap.  MDs, DOs, Chiropractors, Naturopaths,

Nutritionists, Nurses, etc., need to avail themselves of information about

health

problems in the mouth - and act.  For US Dentists are, for the most part,

unable,

or afraid to act.   I recommend that MD, DO, Chiropractors, etc., groups make

" health problems starting in the mouth " part of their annual training, and give

CME credits for that training.  Americans would gain greatly from this.  Once

a problem is found, a recommendation to a " Holistic " or a " Biological "

Dentist could be made. 

 

 

 

Stay tuned...
