107: Root Canals - Are They Killing You?

After some stunning dental developments with Dr. Jack, he and Mary learned much more than they bargained for about the history of dentistry, the root canal process and numerous studies related to this procedure. More to the point, they learned why we may all be poisoning ourselves slowly, through the deadening of nerves in teeth, which in turn disguises all manner of severe infections and necrotizing tissue that could be festering in many of our mouths right now.

And as usual, there are financial forces directing the discrediting of doctors and dentists that have been trying to raise this alarm for many years. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on root canals annually, and it is a procedure with terrific margins for the attending dental surgeon.
