There's no branch of medicine that exists

where a dead organ is left in,

except in dentistry
where a root canal is left in.

If a guy's got a gangrenous toe,

you gotta cut the toe off

because it's bacterial infested

and it's toxic and
it's gonna kill the patient.

If you think that you can get away
with an infected toxic tooth

and not have a systemic consequence,

I think you're deluding yourself.

This is the day
my whole life went to shit,

and I didn't even know it.

This is called schoolies week.

Every year, thousands of
high school graduates

spend a week getting
royally wasted,

in a celebration
to the exquisite end

of their high school education.

That's me, on the left,

on my way to another party.

Shut up, shut up,
I told you to shut up!

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
-Every single time you do this!

And this is the guy I was
unlucky enough

to get in a fight with.

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Are you all right?

-Piss off!
-Oh, man, back up!

Settle down--

I had no idea that the punch
that shattered my teeth

was the punch that
would shatter my world.

Here come
those seven little words.

You're going to need
a root canal.

Now, if you've never seen
one done before,

brace yourself...

because this is a root canal.

They drill into your tooth...

extract the root...

fill it with gutta-percha...

and you're on your merry way.

Things have a funny way
of catching up with you.

One moment you're enjoying
your holiday in Thailand,

then your heart
starts pounding...

your breath gets shorter...

your vision narrows...

and you really think
you're going to die.

Then you find out
it was just a panic attack.

Okay, well, we might start
you off on a course of Lexam,

ten milligrams,
it's an SSRI,

it could be a few side effects,
but they're nothing

to concern yourself with, okay?

I quickly realized
that the doctors

treating my chronic illness
were clutching at straws.

I read the side effects
of everything

they kept prescribing me,

fatigue, nausea, dizziness,

agitation, weight gain,

and impotence.

When I said that my life
went to shit,

I'm really not exaggerating.

Panic attacks gave way
to chronic fatigue.

I was a wreck,

a total lost cause.

12 hours of sleep
felt like 1.

I'd get out of bed
every morning thinking,

"Will this ever end?"

Why did I feel so tired,

so run down,

so anxious,
and so confused?

But I kept following
that old saying,

grin and bear it.

I'd walk like a zombie
to the bathroom,

staring into the mirror,

just like this,

and ask myself
the same old question,

What is wrong with me?

But I'd still smile,

'cause that's what
we do, right?

We smile.

We ignore the truth
that's right in front of us.

We move on, we smile.

Smile though
your heart is aching,

smile when your heart
is breaking.

We grit our teeth
and we smile.

I did the only thing
that I thought I could do:

I went searching for answers.

First come blood tests,
then more blood tests,

perhaps you're hypoglycemic
blood test.

Then comes the naturopath
and you find yourself

taking supplement after
supplement, after supplement.

Get fed up with it,
burn your 100 dollar bills,

all for some expensive urine.

Then you tap yourself silly
with some EFT or TFT.

Actually, I think
sleep apnea is the key.

Then you start seeing
spiritual healers

and doing spiritual courses.

Get your chakras balanced
from your toe to your head,

and why not get your aura read?

Tried some reflexology,
iridology, kinesiology,

psychology, and you better
learn about endocrinology.

Have Chinese herbs,
get cupping. Crazy suction.

Why not have a go
at moxibustion?

Hit me with shiatsu
whilst I find a new guru.

Yeah, I tried NLP,
walked the fire walk...

...did my daily affirmations,

and don't forget
your visualizations.

Wear lot of crystals,
hang upside down.

Tried all forms
of bioresonance going around.

From biocom to zeito
and anything using sound.

Saw a psychic... or ten.

In their den,
helped with my Zen.

That represents ill health.

Get a chiropractor,
find a homeopath,

get your meridians balanced,

have kahuna.

I even juiced for
ten days straight.

From wake-up till late,

yup, nothing but juice
for ten days straight.

Eat only organic,
increase your macrobiotics,

did a parasite cleanse,
intestine cleanse,

so many liver cleanses.

Over a dozen coffee enemas.

I tried cold showers
then graduated to ice baths.

I relived past lives
with hypnotic regression.

Hell of a session.

Made inroads
with the healing codes,

then the kneeling codes.

I screamed and punched pillows.

Read a truckload of books

and I even tried
a wee bit of medical marijuana.

Did shamanic de-armoring.

This was actually amazing.

Did retreat after retreat
after retreat.

-That was a treat.
-Yes!

Did color therapy,
aroma therapy, hypnotherapy.

Ugh, have you tried
urine therapy?

Ah, you need shilajit.

Man, I tried
all sorts of shit.

Tried anything new age,
self-improvement.

Got blessed by gurus
and joined the oneness movement.

Got my feet grounded.

And don't get me started
on pyramid marketing products

that I bought that were
meant to cure me.

I even tried kambo.

Kambo?
What's that you ask?

Well, kambo's a rare Amazonian
frog that shamans use

to poison your skin,
to purge your toxins.

They burn it into skin,
you pass out and vomit

for 20 minutes.

You may think that
I'm joking,

but I've got the scars
to prove it.

And funnily enough,
these were all the things

that I've tried that
actually helped.

But every day I'd still
get up tired,

anxious, and confused.

I started to think
that maybe I was beyond help.

What if I could tell you
that 98% of women

that have breast cancer
have a root canal tooth

on the same side as
their offending breast cancer?

What if I told you that
the biggest toxic influence

in the body in
a chronically ill person

is a root canal tooth?

What if I could tell you
that the leading authority

in cardiovascular prevention,

which is Bale and Doneen,
does not condone root canals

in your mouth because
of the bacteria?

All of the people that come
to see me with chronic illness,

the question is how many of them
have a dental ideology

to the cause of their illness?

I would say almost
all of them.

The vast majority of
chronic degenerative diseases

begin with problems
in the mouth,

infections and toxins,

and it's only until
those are addressed

that you're going to get
any clear positive response

with your disease.

I had a gal come in here
who was early 40's,

very fit,
very nutrition conscious,

and she came in here
because she had

severe, horrible back pain.

In fact, the first day
that she walked in,

she had a four pronged cane,
bent over,

and she was on
full narcotics 'round the clock

for her chronic pain.

And she sat down

and she wanted me to do
some injections on her back

to help her
alleviate the pain.

And I said,
"I'm happy to do that,

but let me just dig
a little bit

about what could have
happened to you."

And she said,
"Well, I got back pain,

I went to an orthopedist,

the orthopedist, said I had--
did an MRI of my back,

said I had
a herniated disc,

did surgery on me
to remove the disc.

About six weeks later,
I was worse.

The orthopedic surgeon
did another MRI on me.

He said
the disc had moved more,

that I needed to have
a laminectomy at two levels,

and he took me in and he did
a laminectomy at L4 and L5."

Laminectomy means, the back half
of the bones on the spine

are pulled off so that
there's more room for the discs

and more room for the nerves,

at which point I saw her
and she was worse.

And what came up on
the examination that I did,

that she had some inflammation
in her jaw bone.

I said, "Did you have any
dental work done

prior to this back pain?"

And she said, "Well,
come to think of it, I did.

I had an infected tooth,
I had a root canal done.

The root canal failed.

I had another redo
of the root canal,

it also failed.

I had the root canal
tooth pulled

and I had
a graft put in there,

and I had an implant
put in there."

So I said, "Let's do
an experiment in the office.

I can inject a local
anesthetic on that tooth.

If your back pain is related
to that tooth,

and I block the nerve
coming from that tooth,

it may make your back pain
feel better

and that may be the reason
for your pain

'cause after
two failed surgeries,

and another one,
the chances of it working

aren't very good."

So she said, "I'm in."

So I took some local anesthetic
and I injected her tooth,

and I waited about 15 minutes,

and when I came back
into the room,

she was standing up
going like this.

I said, "How does it feel?"
She says, "It feels 90% gone."

I said, "Then probably
this is linked to that tooth."

I just wanna make sure.
You come back in three days.

We're gonna do this again."

I wanna make sure this just
isn't a relief reaction,

sort of a mental, psych--

you know, "This was all
psychosomatic and it's gone."

We did it again,
and she said, "It's gone.

I'm going back to
the oral surgeon

and I'm gonna have him
take the darn implant out.

Within a couple of weeks,
her back pain,

except for what was leftover
surgical trauma, was gone.

A root canal procedure is still
a very, very popular thing

in dentistry because
no one wants to lose a tooth.

But more and more people
are beginning to realize,

even from the current day,
modern, and very, uh,

traditional literature,
that it's impossible

to sterilize
a root canal system.

Most conventional
dentists believe

there's no problem
with them

but I personally
couldn't disagree more.

I think that they are
a hidden source of toxicity

for almost anyone.

The reason that root canals
have an inherent problem

is that because we know
that nowhere else in the body

can we leave dead tissue.

Anywhere else in the body,

your appendix dies,
you have dead tissue

that doesn't heal
in any other area of the body,

we know we have to
remove that

because it's a haven
for bacteria

and it's not compatible
with health.

And the same is true
in a tooth.

A tooth is a living structure.

It has a blood supply,
it has a nerve supply.

And so, when a tooth dies
or becomes infected,

and we decide to go in
and do a root canal,

even the best endodonist,
a root canal specialist

can do a great job
at cleaning out the main canal

of any of the teeth.

But what they can't get to

are all of these
thousands of tubules.

You can see if you cut
a tooth in half

or under a microscope,

you can see these
thousand of tubules

that run out in every
different direction,

and all sort of angles,

off from the main canal.

Those microtubules
are big enough for a bacteria

to fit in,
but not much else.

And the problem is,
if you've got six to eight miles

of microtubules in
a single tooth, it's impossible.

You can see why
it's impossible

to sterilize that tooth.

So, after the root canal's
been performed,

unfortunately, bacteria still
reside within the tooth.

And now, you have this
nice, warm incubated tooth,

where the bacteria
are able to flourish,

and now there is
no access from the patient's

own immune system
to the tooth,

because in the process of
doing the root canal treatment,

the blood supply
and the nerve had been severed

from that tooth,
so now the body can't deliver

its own immune defenses

to help
keep the infection in check.

70 to 90% of all
medical problems

actually originate
in the mouth.

Conventional dentistry
still has a focus

on the mechanistic
Newtonian mentality,

that the teeth are not connected
to the rest of the body.

I mean, embryologically,
the teeth develop from

the same tissues that gives
rise to your sympathetic

and parasympathetic
nervous system.

The blood supply
in the mouth,

literally,
will take any toxins

via the lymphatic system

and take it down
to the thyroid, the thymus,

the heart,
and the rest of the body.

So there is
a direct connection.

The teeth is not just
like a stone in the mouth.

It is extremely
densely connected.

The pulp is extremely
densely connected

to the lymph system,
to the autonomic nerve system,

more than any other organs.

It's connected to
the afarensis,

the sensitive nerves
to the brain directly,

and to all
meridian systems.

Every tooth connects up
energetically through

the meridian system
to certain organs and glands.

So, for example,
on the upper side of the jaw,

the last two molars
and this bicuspid

actually connect up
energetically to the left breast

and on this side,
it's to the right breast.

And 95% of the time,
women who have breast cancer,

who undergo a thermographic
study will be found to have

hot spots in the jaw
on the same side

as that malignant breast.

97% of our
breast cancer patients,

in an age between
30 and 70,

we tested all these patients,

they had a root canal
or a toxic situation

in the teeth.

The discussion of
the energetic relationship

of the teeth
to the rest of the body

is very interesting.

Every tooth lies on
a specific acupuncture meridian

relates to certain organs,
and tissues,

and vertebrae,
and muscle groups.

And so very often you can
see a direct relationship.

For instance,
there was a 19-year-old girl,

her first year in college,

she had a root canal
on a front tooth.

That front tooth relates
to the kidney and the bladder.

She started to have
bladder infections

and kidney infections.

She tried every treatment known,

and she was constantly
going on antibiotics,

and nothing helped.

When she came to me,
when I tested that root canal,

I saw the direct relationship
and told the mother,

and it was very hard
because here we had

a 19-year-old-girl,
it was a front-tooth,

but I said,
I think in this case,

really the thing
that needs to be done

is to remove that tooth.

Well, they didn't want
to hear that,

so they went and tried
other treatments.

And then about
three months later,

still suffering from
chronic kidney problems

and urinary bladder problems,
she took the tooth out,

and that was the end
of the problem.

I remember years ago
having a physician say,

"I just, I can't buy
into this concept

of this electricity
going through these meridians.

I've never seen a meridian

in all the cadaver labs
I've ever been in."

And I said, "Okay, when you can
do an EKG on your cadaver,

I'll be able
to show you a meridian,

because you can't find it
when the person's dead."

When you're looking at doing
an EEG or an EMG

or an EKG,
we're looking at the electricity

going through the body, and
that is completely mainstream.

Each tooth actually lies
on a different meridian,

so those energy pathways
that we discussed,

they go through
particular areas.

So if we're looking
at the wisdom teeth,

we're talking about
a small intestine and a heart.

As we move forward
on the top,

and we have these molars,
then we're looking at breast,

we're looking at thyroid
on this side,

we're looking at pancreas
on this side.

We're looking at spleen.

Then we move forward
the they bicuspids

and they're lung
and large intestine.

We go to the eye teeth, and
it's called an eye tooth for a reason,

because it's connected
to your eye.

It's also connected
to the liver,

and to the gall bladder.

And then these four front teeth,
top and bottom,

are connected to
the urinary tract,

to the anal canal,
to the adrenals,

to the pituitary,
to your kidney,

everything that's related
to that urinary tract.

I use a piece of equipment
that was originally called

EAV, Electroacupuncture
According to Vole.

I put electricity
into the body,

and then you gather
data from that.

So when I'm testing teeth,

I actually have the person
holding a bar in their hand,

and that bar is
the collection point.

And they touch a tooth
and put it in the circuitry,

and then I introduce,
by touching on a particular

acupuncture point, I introduce
the electricity into the body

to see if it can go all the way
through that meridian.

And you start seeing
where electricity

is being blocked, and now
you start asking questions

about the person's health
and they go,

"Wow, how did you know that?

I didn't even tell you that
I was having problems there."

Because when the electricity
can't get through,

it compromises that meridian.

Many people have trouble
getting their mind around

the fact that their teeth
are making them sick.

But let me just tell you
that a year or so ago,

we looked at the last
60 cancer patients

that we had seen,
and 96% of them

had an infected tooth
in the same power supply circuit

as their primary cancer, 96%.

You know, this might sound
really funny to you,

but I've always wanted
to learn how to surf.

The sun, the spray,

and that feeling
of conquering a force

beyond your control.

Maybe that's symbolic,

because after all
my trials and tribulations,

I still felt like I'd just
drawn a bad lottery number.

You know you're sick
when you can miraculously

attract a gorgeous girl.

You're punching way above
your weight,

and you can't get it up.

And I know every guy
will say this,

but it hasn't happened before.

Suffice to say,

she left pretty soon after.

How was this journey
going to end?

Would I reach the top
of the mountain,

conquering everything
that came before me?

Would it be the death of me?

I obsessed over these questions
and everything else.

Even friends and family,
they became less important.

"What is wrong with you?"

"You're such a hypochondriac."

"Why is he such a hermit?"

"Toughen up and get on with it."

"I think he has depression."

"Why is he so anxious?"

"It's all in his head."

I felt truly empty inside.

Nobody who has an abscess
in the body

would suggest ignoring it,

and the same
with dental abscesses.

The problem is that they're
frequently asymptomatic.

Most people who come to see me
who have root canals,

they turn out to be infected,

but they're not coming
with a sore tooth.

Nobody comes to see me
with a sore tooth.

They come with their arthritis,
their fatigue, their cancer,

their heart disease,
and it turns out,

when I get a scan done
of the root canal

that there's bone being absorbed

because of chronic infection
of the tooth.

Conventional dentistry
believes that

you should save a tooth
at all costs,

and if the patient dies, well,

that was the price
of saving the tooth.

They don't really
come with the concept

that you should take things
that are dead out of the body.

It was shocking to me
because I had family members

who had root canal-treated
teeth

and I had done
root canals because

I was never taught to question

if residual infection

was having any kind
of negative implication

on the overall health
of the patient.

Probably the earliest research
on root canal-treated teeth

that clearly demonstrated

how toxic they were
all of the time

was the work
of Dr. Weston Price.

Dr. Weston Price, who did about 25 years
of research on root canals

found that they could cause
almost anything,

from mental disease,
to heart disease, to arthritis.

So when Weston Price started
doing root canals on his patients,

he found that a lot of them
were getting sick.

And so he started doing
some research.

He'd take out the tooth,
he would sterilize the tooth

on the outside, making sure
that there was nothing

as far as bacteria, slip it
under the skin of a rabbit

and found out
that the rabbit had

whatever disease the patient had.

Who, let's say, had heart disease,

kidney disease, arthritis,

neurological disease, you name it.

And even more amazingly
is he would take that same tooth

and successively
put it underneath the skin

of 20, 30,
50 consecutive rabbits

and they all developed
the same medical syndrome

as the original person
who supplied that tooth.

So there is a direct connection
between the pathogens

of these dead teeth,
the galvanic currents

between the different metals
in the mouth.

You know, perfect example,
we had a patient with emphysema

on steroids for over a year.

I tracked it down to
a strep infection in the jawbone

where he had a tooth removed
15 years prior.

Once I got rid of the strep
infection in his jawbone,

his emphysema
totally disappeared.

So the mouth
is the toxic waste dump

that's impacting on
the rest of the body.

Now, Dr. Price was a dentist,

and root canals
had become "posh."

You know, originally,
if you were a poor person

and you couldn't
afford dentistry,

then your teeth
would be taken out.

So, when someone had money and
they went to the dentist and said,

"Gosh, you know, I've just kind of
been neglectful, I haven't gotten in,

I want to know if there's
a way you can save my tooth

because if I open and laugh,
people are gonna think

I'm poor 'cause
I don't have my teeth."

So it was actually
more patient-driven

that dentistry
start taxiderming teeth

to keep them
in someone's mouth,

and then put a nice,
shiny gold crown on there

so that when they laughed,
everybody thought they had money

because you saw
these gold teeth then.

Unfortunately,
the dental schools, you know,

look at the mouth
as being a mannequin,

and that you can do
any type of procedure

without any direct impact
on the rest of the body,

but this is the farthest thing
from the truth.

Data we've just
recently gotten

shows now that the number one
cause of heart attack

is a root canal-treated tooth.

Plain and simple,
not correlation,

not link,
cause and effect.

If you take a course
through Bale and Doneen,

and they're the leaders in
cardiovascular event prevention,

they will tell you they will
not condone having a root canal

in your mouth
because that bacteria

courses through your body,
and that bacteria is known

to affect
cardiovascular disease.

My pet peeve
as a cardiologist right now

is that so many
family practitioners,

internal medicine
practitioners, cardiologists,

my fellow cardiologists,

see a patient
that has a heart attack

and they find
the cholesterol's okay,

the lipids are okay,
there's no high blood pressure,

there's no risk factors,

and they might not use
these words with the patients,

but they're gonna tell you,
and they think,

that patient
just had bad luck.

Most of these things aren't
genetic problems, you know?

This person for the first
25 or 50 years of their life

was okay,
now they're not.

This isn't your genes,
this is, your body's toxic,

and if we can
restore those things,

you can get your health back
and your energy back

and you can have a fun life.

I like word pictures,
so we're gonna use the scenario

of I'm driving my car
down the road

and I see my oil light
has come on.

Well, I could get a hammer
and smash the oil light

and that would take care
of the problem, wouldn't it?

No, it wouldn't,
because it's a sign

or a symptom
that something is going on.

What I like to do
is look deeper down

and find
the particular burden

or the root cause,

and no pun intended
because, most of the time,

it's a tooth problem.

And so, the sun rose on another day.

I walked to the bathroom as usual.

I asked myself that same question:

What is wrong with me?

And, as usual,

I was on my way to yet another test,

another healing modality.

Using a device called a lecher antenna,

the information from your blood is tested

against the variety of things
that can make people sick,

and the antenna swings
if the answer is yes.

Is it emotional?

No.

Is it a parasite?

No.

Is it heavy metals?

No.

Is it dental?

Yes.

Is it a mercury filling?

No.

Is it an infected root canal?

You have an infected root canal.

Strange science aside,

this was the first time
anyone had told me

my chronic fatigue
was because of a tooth.

It seemed bizarre until
I really did some research.

My quest started with books.

The basic problem
with a root canal

is what I call
a fatally flawed procedure.

Fatally flawed
in terms of the fact

that the reason
a root canal is done

is you come to
the dentist with pain.

A tooth hurts.

You want to get rid of
the pain, naturally.

The problem is,

in taking out the pain,

the dentist
takes out the nerve,

the pulp and the blood supply
and the connective tissue.

Basically, if you will,

the tooth undergoes
a process of taxidermy

while it's still
in your mouth.

That tooth is dead,
there's no feeling in it,

so there's no pain,
but there's an abscess,

there's an infection there
that's active.

And if you put probes
in there and measure,

you will get biotoxins
that are among the severest

that exist in nature.

The wisdom poured in from podcasts,

YouTube, Skype sessions, articles.

I digested everything I heard.

Root canal-treated teeth can be

a silent type of infection.

I've taken out numerous
root canal-treated teeth

that looked completely fine
on the X-ray

and yet,
after we took that tooth out

and cleaned out that socket,

we would find
a large area of dead bone,

or an actual cyst,

or even actual pus
and infection in there.

And then I discovered the father
of biological dentistry,

Hal Huggins.

I mean, if you've
got a ruptured appendix,

you gonna fill it with wax
and put a gold crown on it?

You got the same bacteria there,

only the ones in the mouth
may be worse.

The question is, do all
root canal teeth have to be removed?

The answer is no,

only in those people who are
interested in their health.

But something didn't quite add up.

If root canal-treated teeth
were this much of problem,

why didn't more people
know about it?

About 95% of dentists have
X-ray equipment in their office,

which is only two-dimensional,

which means, when they
take the X-ray from here,

they can only see
width and height on the tooth,

they can't see depth.

And you might take a picture
of a root canal tooth

and it looks fine,

but if you do
another kind of X-ray,

it's called cone beam,
it's almost like a CAT scan,

where you can get a
three-dimensional view of that tooth,

we very commonly find
that these root canal teeth

are abscessed,
and there's an abscess sitting

around the tooth that isn't
visible on the 2-D X-ray.

We were doing our training,
and I had a patient

I had taken a cone beam on

and she was struggling
with some emotional problems

and chronic fatigue,
and just a lot of things,

and we were reviewing her
cone beam with the technician,

not a biological dentist, like this is
a technician from the company.

And I said, "Well, okay, let's just go to
each one of the root canal-treated teeth

and kinda, you know,
flip this image

and see if we see
any pathology."

And so as we're flipping
through, he's like,

"Oh, man, like,
these look terrible.

There's a cyst here
and there's a cyst here."

I see root canals all the time
look great on an X-ray,

but they do not test well.

They're a real problem
for the individual.

Every root canal tooth
contains dead tissue,

and dead tissue
is a haven for bacteria.

We analyzed
87 very well done

root canal-treated teeth,

many of 'em by endodontists

and many more
by general dentists,

and what we found was that,

regardless of how well
the root canal was performed,

by far, the vast majority
had a high degree of toxicity.

There were not one,
there was not one of those 87

that was non-toxic.

The toxins are oftentimes

the waste material
from the bacteria.

They can be also be
just portions, for example,

of the cell wall
of a bacteria,

but oftentimes they're the
waste material of the bacteria.

Perhaps one of
the world's leading authorities

on biological toxins

was Boyd Haley
at the University of Kentucky.

What Dr. Haley
found and published is that

the toxins
from a root canal tooth

are equal in toxicity
to the standard

by which all
biological toxins are measured,

namely hydrogen sulphite.

He also found that the toxins
from a root canal tooth

are equal in toxicity
to botulism poisoning.

As you know, that's one of
the worst we know about either.

All root canals are infected
without any exception.

There was a big study done

by an American holistic dentist
society very officially.

They tested 30,000,
three-zero thousand root canals

extracted over the years,

and they were all infected,
without any exception.

There used to be a laboratory
at the University of Kentucky.

It was called
Infinity Labeling Technologies.

It was a laboratory
from Dr. Boyd Haley,

who was chairman of the
Department of Chemistry there.

And he set up a lab test

where you could
stick a cotton pledget,

it was sort of
a hard cotton thing,

underneath the tooth
that you suspected as being bad.

And you shoved it underneath
the gum, pulled it out,

and then you'd have
a sample of fluid.

And the samples would go
to their laboratory,

and what they would do
is a bioassay

to find, was there
was toxic material

coming from
the root of the tooth?

And this laboratory doesn't
exist anymore,

but I have an old report
from a patient,

this was a patient with
chronic fatigue, he came to me.

When I examined him,
I thought,

"Gee, I think your problem
is a toxic root canal tooth.

Go to the dentist,
have this test done."

He went
and had the test done,

and these are
the results of the test.

Now, what the test looks at is,
these are six enzymes,

which are part of
what's called the Kreb cycle,

these are the energy-producing
part of the cell.

And these enzymes are able
to take up sugar molecule

and get the energy out of it.

If these enzymes are blocked,

then that cell can't make energy.

And what biotoxins do

is they block these enzymes from working.

So what they did is
took the stuff from the tooth,

the bad tooth and the good tooth,

and they incubated it
with these enzymes,

and they have a measurement
system where they say,

how bad was that enzyme blocked?

And on this particular patient,
the average was 93% inhibition,

which is blocking of that enzyme.

And, by coordinating with
dentists around the country,

over 5,000 extracted
root canal-treated teeth

were submitted to Dr. Haley for testing.

100% of them were toxic.

And just to make sure
this wasn't something

that just had to do
with the tooth or the mouth,

they also submitted
some teeth that were extracted

for orthodontic purposes,
in other words,

normal teeth, but they needed
to let the other teeth grow in.

None of these teeth inhibited
any of these enzymes.

This was finally the smoking gun,

this was cause and effect
that the root canals

simply cannot be sterilized
inside the mouth,

it cannot be put into a situation

where the infection inside the
root canal can ever be resolved.

And it's not sensed locally

because the tooth,
when you root canal it,

you disconnect from the nerve
so there is no more sensitivity,

so the patient
can't feel the toxic effect,

can't feel the death.

And one of
the amazing things is,

when people come into
the office and I say,

"I'm gonna tell you
what's going on with you.

You have insomnia, you have
trouble with your memory,

you can't deal with stress,
you can't deal with stimulus,"

and I go down this list,

a lot of times
they start crying because

usually I'm the first physician
who has described to them,

without them telling me,
what's going on in their life

because all the other physicians
they've seen have just said,

"Oh, that's all in your mind,
here take these antidepressants

and you'll be fine."

The root canal specialists

want to protect
their procedure, okay?

So they're going to
try to reassure people

as much as possible, and I don't
know what their intent is,

I'm not trying to say they're
not interested in the health

and welfare of their patients,

but they truly believe the
root canal procedure is fine,

it does a good job,

and they don't believe
that it's chronically infected,

but the scientific evidence

takes this
out of belief range, okay?

Belief has nothing
to do with it,

it's science shows

the root canal
is always infected,

and the only differentiation is

some are a little bit
more toxic

and more infected
than the other ones.

When I was a boy,
I used to run to his office.

The guys liked to kid me,
"Running to a dentist?"

But he was some dentist.

His name was Dr. Bran,

and he always let me
come five minutes early

just so I could see his lab.

He'd let me touch things
and tell me about them.

I used to get so excited,

I'd tell Dr. Bran I was gonna be
a dentist when I grew up,

and he'd pat my head and say,
"Fine, fine."

Only he never told me
how hard it was to become one.

When I was older, I learned.

He went to college
for eight years

and had to study dozens of
subjects, not just dental ones,

but physiology, and anatomy,
and bacteriology.

I found out that, in America,

about 25 million new root canal
procedures are done each year.

And while this did alarm me,

what it really made me
wonder was, why me?

Why didn't all these people

have root canal problems like I did?

So, oftentimes I'm asked,

"Why would a root canal
have a systemic health impact

on one person
and maybe not on another?"

And the reason is,
is because we're all susceptible

to toxicities
in different ranges.

As you know,
there are some people

who can tolerate
cigarette smoking, for example,

for 60 or 70 years and
have no apparent ill effects,

and yet there are people
who can smoke for a year or two

and develop a carcinoma.

Everyone processes toxins differently,

so there are some patients
who are able to handle

a root canal-treated tooth

and their immune system
isn't overloaded by that.

Yet there are other patients,
we find,

who just one root canal

has a dramatic affect
on their immune system.

The practice that I have
is a very selective practice.

Most of the people we see
have chronic, serious illness.

Now probably
in the general population

these aren't diagnosed because

the guy who's seeing the patient
for high blood pressure,

for chronic back pain
is not associating it,

and he's not testing,

could this be a dental issue
that's referred?

So it's very important
that dentistry

and medicine get together.

It's important
that physicians are as aware

of the importance of the mouth

as it is for
the dentist to realize

that some of the procedures
that he or she does in the mouth

severely and strongly impacts
the health of the body.

Perfect example, we had
a patient referred to us

who had stage-four
throat cancer.

The bottom line was
he had two root canal teeth.

The radiographs looked pristine

and a thousand dentists
that would view them would say

these are absolutely normal.

The pathogens that were
in these two root canal teeth

were in his throat exactly
where the cancer was.

I extracted the two teeth,
we ozonated the jawbone,

homeopathics and ionic silver.

In three weeks,
the stage-four throat cancer

was totally resolved,
documented with PET scans,

blood tests and visual.

This is the impact
of toxic root canal teeth.

There was one relation
study between diseases

and root canals published
in a very prestigious

oncology newspaper
in the United States

which showed that 90%
of all the prostate cancer,

they contain, in its tissue,
the cancerogenic bacteria

which come from root canal.

I felt bad because
I had done a lot of those

and I actually had thought
at one point that

that's what I wanted to do
the rest of my life.

I thought, "How can this be?"

You know, this is something
that's been going on

for so long, there's a whole
specialty around it.

But whenever colleagues
started presenting me

with different
pieces of research,

I obviously came to
the conclusion that

I did not want to do root canal
treatment anymore personally.

I could not confidently say

that I was not doing harm
in some situations.

The bottom line is,
when you do a root canal

it cuts the flow of energy

to these different organs
and can affect them.

You can't get rid
of an infection

unless you have
a viable immune system

with complete access to
all the parts that are infected,

and this is uniformly eliminated
when a root canal is done.

The analogy that I like to use,

in my office,
there is a sliding door.

You are one side of the door
with the door closed

and you have Christmas lights
in your hand,

you want to know
if all the lights light up.

I am on the other side
of the sliding door

and I have an extension cord
plugged in, ready to go,

but you and I are
hitting the door.

We can't connect,
there's no way.

So if someone comes by and
they start sanding on the door,

how much of the door
has to be gone

before you and I can connect?

Not a thin piece of balsa wood,
all of it.

Once all of the door is removed,

then you and I are able
to make a connection

just like the body does.

It totally reconnects

and the electricity
goes through.

After everything that I'd uncovered,

I knew my teeth had to come out.

I saw a biological dentist,

and the first thing
he spotted was...

So it looks like you've had some
trauma with your front tooth.

Yep, that punch in the mouth.

Why was I such a sucker
for a damsel in distress?

So let's have a look at the X-ray here.

And all this discoloration
is where the infection is.

So we've got
a deep-pocket infection up top

and that's what's been causing
your health issues.

So we're gonna extract
the root canal tooth,

and with a dental bur,
we're gonna remove

the periodontal ligament
down to the bone.

And then we'll give you
a new tooth,

a zirconia tooth and
we'll bridge it to either side.

So in the next three or four
months, this will heal up nicely

and you'll notice a dramatic
increase in your energy levels.

Yeah.

-Any questions?
-No.

All right, let's do this.

Now, I don't want you to think that

as soon as you get
your tooth out,

you'll wake up
with boundless energy.

The damage has been done,

so you have to heal yourself
and go through those things

like the parasite cleanse,
liver cleanse, kidney cleanse,

colon cleanse, TMB, saunas,
fasting, juicing.

Whoa!
Intense journey.

But gradually, you start
to feel your health returning.

Now, it's important, obviously,

if you have a root canal
and you're convinced

that the information
I'm talking about,

and the science behind it,

you want to get it
out of your body,

you want to have it stop
negatively impacting your health.

Well, you need to
find a dentist

who knows
what he or she is doing,

because it involves more
than a simple extraction.

Removing the root canal tooth

is only the first step
in the solution.

Afterwards, we have to drain
the area from the bacteria

because the jawbones,
they are not like a stone,

they are sponges bones,

and the bacteria and the toxins
go into these bones too.

This has to be drained
and treated too.

And this is where I also find
ozone gas so indispensable,

because you can just punch
with a very tiny needle,

you go into the area,
and then you inject ozone gas,

and that gas
will go off into

all the areas
off this main tunnel,

all the areas
where you have infection.

It's really interesting
because I've had people where

we've injected down here,

and they'll feel
the gas travel

all the way over
to the other side,

or they'll feel it travel
all the way up under the eye.

There is no way
you're going to do surgery

and clean out
a whole person's jawbone.

And it's interesting how,

as treatment
goes on with the gas,

they feel that area where
it's going off into shrinking.

This jawbone area
has a very dense nerve network.

These nerves don't relay,
you know?

It's not like, here,
it goes to the spinal cord,

goes to somewhere else.

These nerves go right
into the middle of the brain

where the regulation
of the nervous system occurs.

They're called cranial nerves.

This cranial nerve is
the biggest one in the body

and it goes right into there,

and this is a very delicate
and protected area.

So that if someone has
a chronic, smoldering infection

with biotoxin in this area,

it can affect their brain,
the regulation of their brain,

their energy
and lots of other things.

For example, we had a woman with
so-called Hashimoto's disease,

an autoimmune problem,

and it was coming
from a cytomegalovirus

from a third molar extraction
site in the jawbone,

plus nickel ions from
an orthodontic retaining wire.

Once those two substances
were removed

from the thyroid
and the sources,

the Hashimoto's
totally disappeared.

So autoimmune problems
are there for a reason.

The body doesn't attack itself
for no reason.

There's something there
that's causing that reaction.

So the doctor has to be alert to
this, 'cause if he wants cures,

especially with cancer,
you've got to address these.

They're big stressors
on the body,

and they take a lot of
immune attention.

And if the immune system's like,

"Don't let the toxin get
into the brain and kill me,"

it's letting
the cancer cells go here

or men in the prostate
or in the colon.

You know the big ones,
or in the lung,

these are the four big cancers.

Your chance for cancer

is significantly increased

and it's just spreading
out of the ignorance

of the so-called specialists

that they don't want
to accept this fact,

even though
it's absolutely clearly proven.

So, in doing the
testing of the bacteria,

we found that there are,
in root canals,

53 different bacteria.

28 of them are directly involved
with the health of the heart,

that they are known
from the scientific literature

to create
certain heart conditions.

Some of them specialize
in attacking the heart valve.

Many of them cause
what's called endocarditis,

inflammation of the vessels
inside the heart.

And we now have studies

from the Journal of
the American Dental Association

that show that, when you have
one or more root canals

in your mouth,
statistically speaking,

you have a greater chance of
heart attack, plain and simple.

We know with increasing evidence

that the cause
of coronary artery disease

is inflammation
of the endothelium,

the lining
of the blood vessel wall.

What we need to do
in medicine, then,

is work out what is
inflaming the wall of the artery

because, ultimately,
what the body does

is the body tries to
seal off the inflammation.

The body uses cholesterol,

it uses calcium
to seal off that inflammation.

You're getting
what's called a plaque,

the same plaques
that we get on our teeth,

which is basically bacteria
covered by a bio film

then covered
by a layer of calcium,

is exactly what we're seeing
in coronary arteries.

So the trick is not to try
and get rid of the cholesterol,

which is going there,
has been put there by the body

to protect us
against the inflammation,

the trick is to
try and work out

what is causing
the underlying inflammation.

Dental infections
are a big part of that

because of the seeding
of bacteria from the mouth

straight into the bloodstream,
then to the coronary arteries.

This is a process
that can occur in a person

and it can be undone
if it's done properly

by a doctor
who knows what they are doing.

We do a test
for all these organic toxins,

where we can see if the body is,
so to say, impregnated

by these dental toxins,
which come from the root canals.

We can measure these,
we call them xenohormones,

cancerogenic substances
which are organic molecules.

Once we have the basic toxic
source removed from the patient,

then things like
infrared sauna is good,

you'll sweat,
there's nutritional agents

that we can give you

and we can tease
these things out of you

and get them out.

Then our basic program is

we find out
what nutrients they're missing

and we give it back to them.

Some of it's oral supplements,

some of it's done intravenously,

we do I.V. vitamin C,

we use pulse
magnetic fields because,

in cells
that don't make energy,

those cells don't have energy
and the membrane around the cell

can't control very well
what goes in and out.

If we put them
in an environment

where there's a gentle
pulse magnetic field,

it recharges
that cell membrane.

Now that cell
can detoxify itself.

In over three to six months,
sometimes a little bit longer,

we can get these things out.

You can get your levels down
to where they're safer

and then it can help you
restore your health.

I was starting to feel great

so I went to
a EAV machine operator

to make sure my energy flow
was on track,

but something was off.

I found I had
another blockage,

this time
in one of my wisdom teeth.

I dug deeper
and got a cone beam scan.

I was told it was a cavitation,

something else
you really don't want.

Just my luck.

I had to get that sorted out
now, as well.

Step one was actually finding
out what a cavitation is.

Cavitations are basically
residual infections

in the jawbone, which result
from the extraction of teeth.

If the extraction site is not
meticulously curetted and cleansed,

the bacteria just infiltrate
into that wound and live there

for the rest of the life
of the patient.

Every bone in your body is connected

to another bone by way of a ligament.

Your tooth is connected
to your jawbone

by way of what we call
a periodontal ligament.

If a tooth is properly pulled,
when the tooth is out,

the dentist will also
take out that ligament.

And if that ligament is gone,
that bone will heal in

so that there is full bone

and you have
a restored jawbone.

But if the doctor
pulls that tooth

and doesn't take out
that ligament,

that space
where that tooth was

may seal over on the top
and be a cavity.

So that periodontal ligament
staying in the socket,

it prevents communication
from the body

being able to send the
osteoblast and the osteoclast

to that extraction site
and fill in with healthy bone,

it become a barrier.

And it will be a place
where the body, then,

will use as a storage depot for junk,

toxic junk, bacteria, funguses,

and it won't hurt.

It may not be completely
visible on a regular X-ray,

but it is sitting there.

So the periodontal ligament
prevents healing.

One actual study
on 5,000 cavitations

left after wisdom teeth
were removed,

4,999 had not healed.

Only one in 5,000 had healed.

The majority of people
in the United States

and in the developed countries
around the world

that have had extracted teeth
for any reason

also have cavitations.

And what's inside that hole
is nothing different,

and this sounds disgusting,

and it sounds like an
exaggeration, but it's not,

it's the same as wet,
infectious gangrene.

These cavitations
in the jawbone,

they can create
significant diseases,

significant neurological
diseases like, for example, MS.

But that cavitation can occur
from different things.

For instance, the person could
have a clotting disease

or they could've had
a football injury,

something that made
the bone not be healthy

in that particular area.

The most common reason
is that the tooth was removed

and the periodontal ligament
was not taken out,

and therefore that void
of where the tooth was

never did fill in
appropriately with healthy bone.

The second most common reason
is that the bacteria

that's in a root canal tooth

will find a microfracture

through that particular root surface

and kind of wormhole through
the bone and create a void.

And so it's not uncommon

for a cavitation to occur
next to a root canal.

The most common spots
are the wisdom teeth.

The wisdom teeth
are unique in that

there are four circuits going
through it instead of just two.

It's heart, small intestine,

and the sympathetic
and parasympathetic systems.

And so you see people whose
adrenal glands are not working,

and it's because
they have infection

where the wisdom teeth
were taken out.

Because you can have
infections in the bone

where your wisdom teeth
were taken off for 50 years

and essentially
have no pain there,

but it completely
destroys your life.

When you don't have
enough adrenaline,

you have trouble
going to sleep,

and then you have trouble
dealing with stress,

and then it gets to where
you can't stand any stimulus,

so you don't like loud music,
you don't like loud noises,

you can't be around
a rowdy crowd,

you can't be around people
who are arguing.

Now, what I just described
is a person

whose life's in the toilet.

For instance, I myself

had my wisdom teeth out
when I was in dental school.

About 30 years later,
I developed a heart arrhythmia,

and nothing seemed to help.

I would take intravenous
vitamins, I tried homeopathics.

Nothing was doing it,
and all of a sudden I said,

"Wait a minute, let me check,
see if I have a cavitation."

That wisdom tooth,
which is on the heart meridian,

you see,
was causing the problem.

If you can get a good, normal,

3-D cone beam X-ray
of your jawbone,

then you do have
a much higher reassurance

that you don't have this
cavitation process

going on
inside the jawbone as well.

And if the dentist
un-roofs that

and scoops that stuff out,

and then removes that ligament,

and then that heals,
that patient can get well.

One of the questions
that we get is,

"Are there things I can do
prior to my procedure

to increase my ability
to heal properly

from a surgical procedure
like a cavitation

or from a root canal removal?"

One of the biggest things
that you can do

is to have proper nutrition,
be eating a clean diet,

be getting enough proteins and
enough vitamins and minerals.

When that tooth comes out,

you want to make sure
that the socket

is cleaned out really well,

you want to remove
the periodontal ligament.

If there's infection, you want
to get rid of the infection,

and then you let it heal.

I like to let the body fill it
in with its own natural bone.

You have to wait
at least three months for that.

You want to check it
and make sure that it did heal,

that you don't have cavitation.

But let's say it's healed.
How do you replace the tooth?

Well, you have
different options.

'Course, an option is you don't
replace it, you leave it alone.

Another option is you can use
something removable,

which most people don't like,

it's not very comfortable.

The other option is
you can put a bridge in,

where you're bridging
that space.

And there are
two types of bridges:

the traditional bridge,
which I don't like,

is where you have to
mutilate the teeth

on either side of that space
to hold the missing tooth.

And the problem with that is,

when you mutilate those teeth,
you increase the odds

that those teeth could need
a root canal in the future.

So I prefer to use
a bonded-type bridge

where the abutment teeth,
as they're called,

or the supporting teeth,
have minimal preparation,

and that holds
the missing tooth.

Now, the only downside
with that, really,

is that it periodically
will come loose

and need to be re-cemented.

Now, of course,
the best option

is to take really good care
of our teeth and gums

with a comprehensive
dental program

so we never need a root canal,

but let's say that hasn't
happened, like me,

and a lot of other
people I know.

Let's say there was
trauma involved

and you didn't get an option.

Can't really walk around
with no front teeth,

it's not very good for business.

Am I gonna have
some sort of bridge?

Am I gonna have
some sort of implant?

An implant is where you're going

and you're going into the bone

and you're placing
what traditionally has been

a titanium implant.

Now, today,

we have also ceramic implants.

The advantages and disadvantages--
well, with titanium,

the problem is, you're putting
a metal into the bone.

Titanium itself is known as a hapten.

It means the ions
in the titanium itself

can trigger autoimmune,

so if you are genetically predisposed

to something like
Hashimoto's, celiac,

scleroderma, lupus,
rheumatoid arthritis,

it might get turned on, and
even if that implant is removed,

the trigger's already been pulled,

so now you've got problems
that you didn't have.

Plus, I've got metal that is

directly going
into my meridian system,

so it's like sticking a spoon
in an electric socket

and bending it around and
sticking it in the bottom part,

and it shorts out
the whole meridian.

What we're finding
is that many physicians

that are referring
their patients here,

and also patients that are
doing their own research,

are desiring to have
no metal in their mouth.

They want to eliminate anything
that could create a current,

and that's why we
now have zirconia implants,

which it's more like a ceramic,

it's a complete
non-metal implant

that looks the same
as a titanium implant

and functions the same,

but is considered
much more biocompatible

for the tissue
and for the patient.

And it interferes
with the body much, much less

than titanium implants.

I do not say zirconia implants
are 100% good,

but they are much better,

tolerable to the body
than titanium implants are.

So, good medicine
would include this

and that's what we want to do,
we want just the best medicine,

we want to give people things
that don't hurt them

more than they help them.

Root canals are probably
one of the most pernicious,

toxic, hidden influences
on your health.

And if you're struggling to
understand why you're so sick

and you have
multiple root canals,

please examine that issue.

Now, I don't want you to think

that I have my head
in the clouds

by saying that the only reason
I got chronic fatigue

was because
I had a root canal.

My search has led me to believe
that all chronic disease

is because of
a toxic overload.

These toxins
come in various forms,

from as simple
as toxic junk food,

to environmental toxins,

to toxic emotions.

We're now all learning
about the toxic effects

of electromagnetic
frequencies as well,

and we also
can't rule out pathogens.

What I can say is that,
until I stop the source

of my toxic root canal
by having it removed,

I could never get better,
no matter what I tried.

It really was the biggest piece
of the jigsaw puzzle,

the root cause, so to speak.

So your dentist says
you need a root canal.

Apart from running for the door,
what are your options?

Firstly, if the tooth
needs to be removed,

make sure you see
a holistic dentist,

one who can remove
the infection

and periodontal
ligament properly.

Then, once the tooth is removed

and the mouth is healed,

you have three good options.

Your first option is to get
a bonded ceramic bridge.

Your second option
is to get a zirconia implant.

Now, 99% of dentists will
recommend a titanium implant,

but that is just as bad
as a root canal.

So make sure
your implant is zirconia.

Then your third option is

a good, old-fashioned denture.

Keep smiling.

I've been reading
this book about Gandhi.

He didn't have a lot of
tooth problems like me.

Rumor was, he had dentures he
slipped in and out every night,

but his words
were as beautiful as his smile.

He said that, even if
you're a minority of one,

the truth is still the truth.

Probably somewhere in the neighborhood

of 80 or 90% of people are sick,
at least in part,

if not totally,
by an infected tooth.

This can be a miracle for a patient,

this can be life-saving on a patient.

And I've got tons of patients

where this was really their problem,

and when we addressed this,

then they were actually able
to get better.

My mentor, Dr. Hal Huggins,

told me 20 years ago,

"You can't dry off while
you're still in the shower."

And it's a simple,
but profound statement.

You can't resolve a problem

if what causes the problem
is continuing to shower in

while you're trying
to resolve the situation.

In today's medicine
and dentistry,

we have two important things
being done to our body,

but neither field interacts
with the other.

If doctors did more of this,

we could actually really
help a lot more people,

get a lot more people better

and do what our profession
is supposed to do,

which is help
to heal people up.

One in two of us
are dying of heart disease,

one in two of us
are dying of cancer,

we better have
a strategy for both.

Make sure you take really good
care of your oral hygiene

and have a program in place
to make sure you minimize

the amount of pathogenic
organisms in our mouths

leaking into our bloodstream.

There's another great quote,

that new knowledge
is never immediately adopted.

Rather, the old knowledge dies
out and the new takes it place.

So to each of you
who hear this,

know that the challenge
of whether this truth

reaches the world...
is up to you.

Currently we have

roughly 25 million
new root canal procedures

being done a year
in the United States.

One of the greatest
public health interventions

we could possibly do
around the world

is to make it very clear
the important role

that dental infections
and toxins have,

and hopefully someday,

to make the root canal procedure
something of the past,

because it does
nothing positive

for the general health
of the body at all.

I'm just one guy,

and this is my truth.

That truth has set me free.

I feel that freedom
every day when I wake up.

It's in my joy, my sorrow,

my friendships.

Oh, and in case you're wondering
whether I can get it up,

there's no problem there.

Uh...

I got my life back,

so I didn't want my truth
to just be a minority of one.

I'm a filmmaker, and the journey
I'd been on was epic,

so maybe it was meant
to happen to me after all.
