When I interviewed biological dentists Dr. Stuart Nunally and his partner, Dr. Lane Freeman, I was not surprised to learn that they require their patients with cancer to first have a thorough dental screening. Why? Your dental health impacts every aspect of your health—including a shockingly significant role in the development of cancer.
Nunally was a conventionally trained dentist who became a renowned biological dentist after the removal of his root canals. The result was full recovery from a debilitating neuromuscular disease and complete transformation of his health.
The Periodontal Disease–Cancer Connection
One serious contributor to poor health, in general, is periodontitis, a condition caused by a bacterial infection that damages the soft tissue and can destroy the bone that supports teeth. It is a major contributor to tooth loss. Left unchecked, bacteria from the mouth easily spreads throughout the body. An overaccumulation of bacteria results in increased inflammation which stresses the body’s natural immune system.We’ve known for a long time that inflammation inflicts damage upon every organ in your body, including the heart. But that’s just the beginning of the damage it can inflict.
If you have persistent periodontal (gum) disease, you should know that there is a reported:
- 30 percent increased risk of leukemia and other blood cancers.
- 33 percent increased risk of lung cancer.
- 43 percent increased risk of esophageal cancer.
- 50 percent increased risk of kidney cancer.
- 52 percent increased risk of gastric (stomach) cancer.
- 63 percent increased risk of prostate cancer.
Warning signs of periodontal disease include:
- Bleeding of the gums while brushing or flossing.
- Receding gums.
- Loose or separating teeth.
- Persistent bad breath.
If you have any of the above-described symptoms, visit a qualified biological dentist right away. Good dental hygiene is a MUST—especially when fighting something as serious as cancer. Make brushing and flossing your teeth your new passion by practicing a minimum of twice a day.
Do You Have the Second Most Toxic Substance Known to Man in Your Mouth?
Amalgams were introduced in the United States circa 1830. Even with all the evidence gathered and publicly available as to the dangers of this substance, an estimated forty percent of American dentists continue to use amalgam fillings to treat cavities.What do amalgam fillings consist of?
- 50 percent of amalgam fillings contain mercury (the second most toxic substance known to man).
- 30 percent of amalgam fillings contain copper.
- 20 percent of amalgam fillings are made up of silver, zinc, and tin.
As I wrote in my book “I Used to Have Cancer,“ Dr. Hal Huggins, the father of mercury-free dentistry, spent a big part of his life researching the effects of the mercury poisoning caused by dental amalgams, as well as the dangers of root canals and cavitations.
I personally have seen my blood chemistry results before and after my amalgams were removed, and it was eye-opening. If you’re suffering from cancer, I feel it is a “must” that you see a natural-oriented/ biological (holistic) dentist and get his/her opinion. Such a dentist will not only consider your overall health condition, but in most cases will use only biocompatible and non-toxic materials. I’m sure glad I did.
You Have More Control of Your Health Than You Think
Taking charge of your dental health is one of those things that can make a tremendous difference in your overall health. And it’s something you have total control over.Do the simple things first. Buy a new toothbrush, make flossing your new hobby, and schedule an appointment today with a qualified biological dentist.
