“It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.”
Mark Twain
The Root Cause
Amalgam fillings impact the body from a chemical point of view, but the effect that mercury filings have on the energetic system of the body is also significant. The body is electrical in nature and the acupuncture meridian system is one of many systems that acts as a conduit of the CHI or life energy of the body.
Each tooth is connected to an organ via the acupuncture meridian system. If there is a hunk of metal in a particular tooth, the effect is like sticking a metal object in an electrical outlet. The metal actually short circuits the meridian and in turn can cause stress and fatigue in that associated organ.

• You can destroy a tumor(s) with resonance technology or surgery, but, if root canal teeth aren’t extracted, tumors can accumulate all over again.
• If you have gum disease, the toxins in your mouth are a serious cancer risk. People who practice excellent oral hygiene live an average of 12 years longer than those who don’t.
• If you have mercury amalgam fillings, have them replaced with nontoxic materials by a certified biological dentist. If you have cancer, assume that the mercury contributed to the toxicity that caused it.
Chemotherapy often impairs the function of bone marrow, suppressing the formation of red and white blood cells and platelets (myelo suppression), and standard cancer treatments have toxic effects on oral tissues. These are some of the oral complications that are common to chemotherapy and radiation:
• Oral Mucositis: Inflammation and ulceration of oral mucous membranes can increase pain, cause infection, and impair nutritional
According to the American Dental Association, gum disease, also referred to as periodontal disease, occurs when the tissues that support and surround your teeth become infected. Many people are unaware they even have gum disease, because it isn’t a painful disease. Periodontal disease is caused by a film of sticky bacteria called plaque forming on the teeth.
Improper nutrition and misbalance in our body may be the causes for tooth decay. Always pay attention to your nutrition when your teeth are considered, instead of choosing fluoride or dentistry. Our health can also be in danger when fluoride is used, even though the main reason for using fluoride is to make the teeth stronger. According to a recent study, mental disabilities are often made more difficult with the usage of fluoride. Among fluoride, mercury and arsenic are also dangerous in cases of autism
* A small amount of mercury is found in the crust of the earth. This is not the problem. The anthropogenic mercury is the problem.
Auricular acupuncture has a variety of uses, some with more documented success than others. Auricular acupuncture is an alternative medicine with some documented success in treating anxiety, insomnia, smoking, drug addictions and obesity. Not all studies have generated conclusive positive results and more research is needed to accurately evaluate the efficacy of the procedure in treating multiple ailments. Acupuncture is an ancient medicinal practice that originated in China. The name comes from the Latin acus, or “needle”, and from pungere, or “prick,” and involves the insertion of superfine needles into specific points on the body. Once inserted, the needles can be manipulated to stimulate the body for healing effects. Auricular acupuncture is acupuncture performed on the ear. The treatment of auricular acupuncture is preformed on the ear using stimulators such as different types of needles, staple-punctures, probes, magnetic beads, fingers, or harmless electrical impulses. The most common is method is inserting needles. For auricular acupuncture, there are different type of needles that can be used such as a regular half or whole inch needle, press needles, and interdermal needles. Press and interdermal needles are pressed into an acupuncture point and tape is used to keep them in place, as well as give constant stimulation. The ear is thought to contain an innumerable amount of important and potentially therapeutic acupuncture points. This is why it is believed that by using these types of stimulators on acupuncture points in the ear, problems and/or dysfunctions will be revealed throughout the body. (Suen 135)
The aim of acupuncture to heal explicit pathologies has not been determined but it does reestablish systemic equilibrium to the patient’s reservation of Qi. For the body’s system to be recalibrated with its Qi, needles are implanted at certain meridians in order to
The third explanation is the ancient Chinese explanation that the acupuncture points are doors to energy channels and that by inserting the needles into these points, one can open and close these doors. This brings about energy circulation and harbors energy balance, resulting in improved health (http://www.acupuncture.com/Acup/Works.htm).

Acupuncture: The practice is the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points (a.k.a. acupoints) just beneath the body surface. Needles varies in length between 13 to 130 mm (0.51 to 5.12 in), shorter needles for face and eyes, and longer needles for more fleshy areas; the diameters vary from 0.16 mm (0.006 in) to 0.46 mm (0.018 in), thicker needles for more robust patients. Acupuncture points are very precise locations and lie on channels of energy. The practice of acupuncture is based on the fact that the stimulation of specific areas on the skin affects the function of certain organs of the body and that health results from a balanced flow of Qi (a.k.a. ‘Chi’) which is circulated through the blood stream through 14 energy ducts called
Eliminating bacteria through good oral hygiene is not possible. The gum tissue begins pulling away from the teeth. This creates pockets that allow bacteria to build up, which leads to an infection. As your body fights the harmful bacteria, the bone and tissue holding the teeth in place begins to break down. The pockets deepen and begin filling with pus.
Over 30,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the US per year. Oral cancer is a cancer that is more common in people over the age of 45, but can occur at any age. Oral cancer can develop in any part of the mouth. “... Oral cancer- it is cancer that occurs in any part of the mouth; on the tongue’s surface, in the lips, inside the cheek, in the gums, in the roof and floor of the mouth, in the tonsils, and also the salivary glands”.(Salomon and Esposito; Dental Partners) Oral cancer, although devastating and destructive can be detected, prevented, treated and cured if it is found early on in its stages. Cancer is detected by dentist because there is a genetic mutation in the cell usually causing tumors within the initial area of effect. Oral cancer can be prevented, diagnosed and treated.
Over time as individuals age and are faced with access to care issues they may begin to neglect their oral health. As time passes between dental hygiene cleanings or dentist visits the presence of oral disease may begin to increase.
“[Acupuncture] addresses the root of the problem. . . . Symptoms [are] the way[s] that [the] body [is] trying to tell . . . there’s something wrong . . . That particular symptom takes [the acupuncturist to] the root of the problem. So [the acupuncturist has] to address the root of the problem [in order to] get rid of the symptoms” (Damdin Interview). Due to the integration of the five elements and the meridians, the source of pain may not be the cause of the problem. According to the Generative and Destructive cycles, another organ or meridian may influence the symptoms by overly supporting or excessively restraining the affected part of the body. Therefore, the acupuncturist must fix the cause of the problem in order to relieve the body of the illness. If the cause is not resolved, the illness will persist due to the continuing imbalance which initially caused the health
Periodontal disease, or periodontitis, is an “inflammation of the gums that leads to multiple dental diseases…caused by infections or by plaque that adheres to the surface of the teeth” (Blake 86). Gingivitis is an “early form of periodontal disease that involves gum swelling, bleeding, and oral pain” (Blake 86). Thus, periodontal disease typically moves from the early stage of gingivitis to more progressive stages, gradually worsening until teeth are potentially lost or separated from the gums or jaw bone. Subsequently, the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other health problems can occur (Nordqvist 1).
Amalgams restoration could also protect the margin of teeth, preventing leakage of a filling or help prevent recurrent decay when done properly. The process of placing an amalgam was something like this, After the patient has been numbed and tooth has been isolated and the dentist has prepped the tooth cavity, patient is ready to begin his dental amalgam treatment. The process before placing a dental amalgam is called trituration. One must first mix the metal alloy which is in powder form with mercury liquid, both of these elements come in a capsule. This capsule is then being triturated on the amalgamator and takes form of a perfect dough ball, if over triturated it will crumble, or if under triturated it will look
Ions are critical to human health. As defined by Dictionary.com, an ion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons. The human body is the most intricate of ‘designs,’ despite the fact it is composed of basic natural resources called elements. The ions discussed in this paper include oxygen, carbon, potassium, and sulfur. A healthy body is composed of these ions, along with others (zinc, fluoride, iron, etc.). The absence of these elements could lead to an unhealthy body, and make it an easier target for diseases. The chemical formulas, charges, and properties will also be discussed in this document. Also, addressed is the essential role of the ion presented, the way in which the ion serves the body, the diseases that may result from deficiency, and the global distribution of these deficiencies. Ions are an essential part of human health. The ions that are present make the body’s daily functions possible, allowing it to be protected from cruel bacteria or diseases.
