FIRE IN THE HOLE

Cavitations, Wormholes, and the Bermuda Triangle

by Michael Abedin

            “Look, Mom! No cavities!” It was 1958, and Crest toothpaste ads showed wholesome, smiling Norman Rockwell kids holding up a clean bill of health from their dentist.

No cavities, indeed, but what about – cavitations ?

A cavity is a hole in the surface of the tooth – a cavitation is a lesion, a hole in the jawbone, one that’s not as readily detectable (or repairable) as a cavity in the tooth’s enamel. Cavitations weren’t a big topic of conversation in 1958. Half a century later, they still aren’t discussed as much as they should be.

Wormholes in your jaw.

There’s no single culprit causing cavitations, but it’s their effect that concerns holistic dentist Matthew Carpenter of Transcend Dental Health, who’s done extensive studies of cavitation research done by Mark McClure, a dentist and a Doctor of Integrative Medicine with the National Integrated Health Associates.

“Cavitations,” Carpenter explains, “are toxic waste sites for mercury and other metals found in amalgam fillings and crowns. They accumulate in these holes in the jawbone, and can cause serious long-term health problems.”

McClure refers to cavitations as NICO – Neurological Inducing Cavitational Osteotis – a fancy way to say “holes in bone that hurt, and can cause things to hurt in other places.” He points out some controversies surrounding them:

  • Traditional dental training acknowledges NICO lesions but minimizes their importance, leaving it to integrative practitioners to spread the word – with the usual possibility of being criticized by mainstream practitioners and professional associations.
  • The usual treatment is surgery. Non-surgical alternative treatment, like chelation therapy, is sometimes possible – but it also has the possibility of being criticized by mainstream practitioners and professional associations.
  • Diagnosis is tricky. Standard imaging techniques often can’t detect the full extent of NICO sites, which can range from round to what Murphy calls “fingerlike projections extending outward, like worm-holes.” It sometimes requires working backwards from a wide range of symptoms, using non-traditional methods like biofeedback that have the possibility of – well, you know the rest.

Alien invaders and the Bermuda Triangle.

            In sci-fi flicks, aliens can escape through wormholes, or hide in them so you can’t see them because the normal rules of three-dimensional time, space, and physics don’t apply. NICO lesions act the same way.

Blood supply shuts down to isolate toxins like mercury that the body’s dumped there, along with metals from old crowns, bridgework, and other procedures – tin, platinum, palladium, nickel, maybe even the occasional plane or ship that disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle.

The Triangle is actually a pretty apt analogy, since the effects of cavitations can seem to disappear from the screen entirely, then pop up in other, unlikely locales. The autonomic nervous system, unable to cope with the toxicity, either sets up an interference field of sorts to isolate it, meaning the immune and excretory systems can’t find it, or refers it to other areas – and some of those areas are potentially lethal.

A perfect opportunity for cavitations to form is when third molars – wisdom teeth – are removed, especially if more than one comes out at a time. Metabolic activity is high in the extraction sites, making them good candidates for toxic dumpsites. The Chinese determined that acupuncture meridians and their associated organs are connected to teeth, and those third molars, Carpenter points out, are connected to – yep, the Heart Meridian.

The toxins lurking in a NICO site can also hamper your energy-producing enzymes and ability to metabolize oxygen. Lack of energy and chronic fatigue symptoms are a good clue that energy is being diverted elsewhere – maybe your mouth and jaw, a hotbed of nerves and circulation connected directly to your cardiovascular system and inches from your brain.

Whatever to do?

            Research indicates it’s a good idea to get mercury out of your mouth before any major dental surgery. Transcend Dental uses state-of-the-art retrieval systems, and recommends taking good care of wisdom teeth so they can stay put. If extractions are necessary, Carpenter uses a protocol involving ozone, intravenous vitamin C, and complete removal of all ligaments, since they can inhibit full healing and create cavitation sites.

            There’s no single cause for the recent rise in autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, allergies, cancer, Lyme, candida. There’s always a complex set of factors – and some of them may be hiding, deep down in the bones of your jaw.

Dr. Matthew Carpenter of Transcend Dental Health uses drill-free air abrasion, ozone therapy, natural alternatives to antibiotics, non-surgical treatment of gum disease, and genotype testing for susceptibility to mercury toxicity.

Ozone therapy compilation

By TDH Office • April 30, 2020
It’s important to understand that ozone is not a poison and that it has been used to help human health for more than 100 years. To give you a little history, In 1785, the Dutch chemist Martinus van Marum was conducting experiments involving electrical sparking above water when he noticed an unusual smell, which he attributed to the electrical reactions, failing to realize that he had in fact created ozone. A half-century later, Christian Friedrich Schönbein noticed the same pungent odor and recognized it as the smell often following a bolt of lightning. In 1839, he succeeded in isolating the gaseous chemical and named it “ozone,” from the Greek word ozein, meaning “to smell.” For this reason, Schönbein is generally credited with the discovery of ozone. The formula for ozone, O3, was not determined until 1865 by Jacques-Louis Soret and confirmed by Schönbein in 1867. Some other historical uses of ozone demonstrating its safety include its use as a disinfectant in drinking water in 1893, its use as a food preservative for cold storage of meats in 1909 and in 1939 ozone was found to prevent the growth of yeast & mold during the storage of fruits. Most people have heard of ozone because of the concerns with the holes forming in the ozone layer. Ozone in the ozone layer filters out sunlight wavelengths from about 200 nm UV rays to 315 nm, with ozone peak absorption at about 250 nm. This ozone UV absorption is important to life due to the fact that radiation intensity is 350 million times as powerful at the top of the atmosphere as at the surface on the earth. So ozone actually makes life on earth possible. Nevertheless, enough of UV-B radiation at similar frequency reaches the ground to cause some sunburn, and is responsible for the production of vitamin D in humans. In fact, even Benjamin Franklin believed that the presence of cholera was connected with the deficiency or lack of ozone in the atmosphere, a sentiment at the time that was shared by the British Science Association. Industrially, ozone is used to disinfect laundry in hospitals, food factories, and nursing homes and can be used as a disinfectant for water in place of chlorine. Ozone kills bacteria on food or on contact surfaces, can be used to sanitize swimming pools and spas. Ozone is very safe when used properly. The science behind ozone is somewhat complex, but basically the thing to understand is that it can kill viruses, bacteria, fungi, molds and parasites approximately 4000 times as effectively as bleach, but will not harm human cells if used at the correct dose. Ozone has many health benefits with respect to stopping pain and inflammation, building the immune system naturally and helping to treat and prevent cancer, but we use it extensively in my dental office because of its remarkable ability to improve healing.

Naturopathy

By TDH Office • April 29, 2020
Recognizes an inherent self-healing process in people that is ordered and intelligent The past 30 years have seen an extraordinary increase in consumer demand for safe, effective and cost-effective natural health care. Naturopathic medicine has emerged as the health-care profession best suited to meet this demand. Although it almost disappeared in the mid-twentieth century because of the popularity of drugs and surgery, naturopathic medicine now offers safe, effective natural therapies as a vital part of North American health-care systems in the twenty-first century. Naturopathic physicians are trained in the art and science of natural health care at accredited medical colleges. Integrative partnerships between conventional medical doctors and licensed NDs are becoming more available. This cooperation makes more effective therapies available to consumers. It increases patient satisfaction in their relationships with their care providers. More people are recovering their health by adding naturopathic medicine to their health-care options. “For example, an old appendix scar might cause migraine headaches, or a wisdom tooth extraction scar might cause chronic low-back pain. Because these relationships are totally unpredictable, doctors need to search for interference fields everywhere in the body. Interference fields are very common and the conditions that they cause are mostly untreated in mainstream medicine except by drugs, merely suppressing symptoms.” – European Injection Technique workshops; www.klinghardtacademv.com, info@klinghardtacademy.com
