Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have successfully resolved over a dozen cases where the dentist said a root canal was desired and the patient no longer required one. Three cases had to get the root. All treatments were different tailored to each person. I used homeopathy, acupuncture and in one case Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) One dramatic case with a tooth abscess with swollen gums and cheek I gave silica 6C TID for 3 days. When it erupted he reported over a cup of pus came out. This patient also had heart problems, diabetes and a slew of other ailments and the dentist was not too anxious to do the root canal to begin with. One the pus was coming out and appeared to have stopped without resolving completely (let the first remedy complete its action before giving another dose or remedy.) I gave him 30C hepar sulph which cleared more of the infection. Once all swelling was gone and the pus and blood was no longer apparent I gave calendula 12 to be used as a mouthwash and in a water pik oral irrigation device. Not only did that abscess resolve but during the hepar tx a small boil came up on the other side of his mouth and resolved in 4 days. The last report I received from his dentist was his gums and teeth are healthy and he no longer needs the root canal. Some common modalities I used in almost all cases were: points chosen partly from http://www.acupuncture.com/conditions/tooth.htm and other presenting symptoms.http://health.Chinese Medicine/messa\ ge/17538 Nutrition & #65533; Many people with periodontal disease have been found to be deficient in CoQ10. Supplementing with this nutrient should be beneficial in treating this disease. & #65533; In addition, the infection mentioned above seems to affect those with folic acid deficiencies more so than those who aren & #65533;t deficient. Because of this fact, gum disease may be an indicator of a folic acid deficiency. To help eliminate gum disease and its risk factor for stroke, take 800-5,000 mcg of folic acid daily. Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) Grapefruit seed extract is nature & #65533;s best antibiotic, and is very helpful in fighting oral bacteria. Add a drop of GSE to your toothpaste and brush at least two times a day. 3) Hydrogen peroxide Take two capfuls of 3% hydrogen peroxide and swish it around your mouth and spit out. Do this every evening for a week or until you notice improved gum health, then only once a week for maintenance. In addition, to help knock out the bacteria mentioned above that may be causing periodontal disease, put enough hydrogen peroxide to cover the bristles of your toothbrush in a glass and keep the brush in it. Change the peroxide weekly. 4) Vitamin C Take 1-3 grams of natural vitamin C daily to help build healthy tissue. Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant that helps fight infection. 5) Calcium A study showed that people getting less than 500 mg of calcium daily had a 54% greater chance of having gum disease than those getting 800 mg or more. So add a calcium supplement to your daily preventive regimen.
