We are constantly being exposed to various toxins from our environment, such as heavy metals, chemicals, radiation, and acids. When these toxins enter our body, they may exert adverse effects which can result in symptoms or disease. As a result of our unique identity called biological individuality.

In order to understand resistance and susceptibility, we need to be familiar with the system designed to protect us and prevent disease.

This system is composed of three sequential parts:
  1. Identification: The Immune System carries out this process.
  2. Neutralization: The Detoxification System performs this task
  3. Elimination: The Elimination System colon and kidneys work to remove toxins.
Xenobiotics (foreign toxins such as heavy metals, chemicals and other agents) can place a great deal of stress on the entire system. Because of the complexity and toxicity of xenobiotics, the system may break down during the identification and processing stages.

The kidneys, which also possess some regenerative and detoxification ability, would be subject to injury, too. Possible injuries include autoimmune glomerulonephritis (caused by mercury, heavy metals, pain killers and other agents) and nephrotoxicity (actual pathology of the structure and function due to the same agents listed above).

What is Root Canal | Local Dental Services - New Jersey , USA

Image
WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL? A root canal-treated (RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called Gutter perch. Once an RCT is performed, the tooth must be restored with a post and a crown. These will strengthen the tooth and prevent a crack or fracture from developing after treatment. A good analogy is a tree branch. When it is alive, it flexes or bends when pressure is applied. WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF ROOT CANALS? The pro of a Root Canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. However, we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal. Can the tooth be restored? Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result? On the other hand, if the patient chooses extraction, the following surgical and tooth replacement options need to be considered: SURGICAL OPTIONS: Tooth Extraction Bone Grafting...

The pro of a Root canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. But we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal. Can the tooth be restored? Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result? Research has found four major causes of root canal failure: Tooth or root fracture Infections including bacteria (primarily streptococcus vocalist, etc), viruses, and fungus (Candida, etc). The body’s reaction to root canal materials, microorganisms, and cements which inadvertently are pushed past the tooth into the bone. Cysts Root canal failure, an issue of systemic proportion, remains a little understood and hotly debated subje...

How to Safely Remove Mercury Amalgam Silver Fillings

Image
When the element mercury accumulates to a high concentration in the body, it can lead to a variety of acute and chronic medical problems, including organ damage and compromise of major bodily systems. Because of the widespread usage of mercury in dental amalgam materials, many people are susceptible to mercury toxicity and its associated health issues. Dentists and toxicologists are divided over the extent of the danger posed by mercury amalgam fillings. Even those who agree that mercury amalgam is hazardous are further divided over whether the safer protocol is to remove them or to leave them untouched. Paradoxically, improper removal of old fillings can cause greater exposure to mercury. Dentists who focus on safe amalgam removal must receive specialized training in the practice; they also follow government guidelines for containment of mercury vapor during the procedure and disposal of mercury-containing materials afterward. Mercury toxicity is a health problem that r...
