Bacteria in the Root-Filled Teeth and Degenerative Diseases

Article Summary: In the beginning, Dr. Price introduced bacteria living in root-filled teeth by implanting a tooth under a rabbit's skin. As time went on, he introduced organisms by imbedding just small pieces of a tooth's root, or by powdering the roots and injecting the powder.

In the beginning, Dr. Price introduced bacteria living in root-filled teeth by implanting a tooth under a rabbit's skin. As time went on, he introduced organisms by imbedding just small pieces of a tooth's root, or by powdering the roots and injecting the powder. Eventually, bacteria were transferred from the teeth and grown in a culture medium, and thereafter the bacteria were injected into rabbits for investigative purpose. Each method caused similar digenerative diseases.

Another acute rheumatism case caused 10 inoculated rabbits to experience disease conditions in the following tissues: three in the heart, three in lungs,three liver, two stomach, four in the kidneys, five developed rheumatism, and one myositis. After the tooth extraction, this patient had no recurrence of her previous troubles in the three years she was studied.

Inoculations from patients having acute eye problems caused a high percentage of eye trouble to develop in rabbits. One patient had exophthalmos(protruding eyes) and was also suffering from extreme pain from the rupturing of blood vessels. The inoculation of 13 rabbits with that patient's culture resulted in 62 percent developing eye involvements, 69 percent intestinal and digestion tract lesions, and the occurrence of a number of other severe tissue lisions.

The culture from a patient totally blind in one eye and having four-fifths loss of sight in the other caused one rabbit to develop multiple lisions and the other nine to experience eye trouble.

Regarding a patient suffering from diarrhea and bowel movements every 15 minutes, all of four rabbits developed diarrhea and bowel movements every 15 minutes, all of four rabbits developed diarrhea. In another acute digestive case, of six inoculated rabbits, three had involvement of their stomachs and intestines, and one of the gallbladder and liver. After that effort, the cultured material was passed through a Berkefeld filter to remove all bacteria, leaving only their toxins. These toxins were then inoculated into nine rabbits: 44 percent developed intestinal trouble, 67 percent liver disturbances, and 33 percent heart diseases, proving the by-products of bacteria are as dangerous if not more so, than the organisms themselves.

You can see from all these cases that more often than not rabbits developed the patient's disease when inoculated. At the same time, it wasn't unusual for them to become victims of diseases in a number of other organs or tissues. In a few instances, the rabbits didn't exhibit the patient's illness but developed an entirely different disease.

It should be stated again Dr.Price found that acute processes usually did not develop in rabbits when organisms were taken from teeth at a time when the patient was not suffering from any infirmity.

Patients who had root canal fillings but didn't become ill were found to have particularly good defense mechanisms which controlled infections from being transferred to their organs and tissues. In other words, their white blood cells and other immune system activities were able to engulf and control the number of bacteria that were escaping from their teeth.

Each of these methods proved to be a way to disclose the presence of infections in root canal filled teeth - teeth which appeared to be sound and healthy. It is interesting note that if patients with root-canal fillings were not experiencing any health problems and had these teeth extracted, the rabbits inoculated with the products of such teeth usually did not develop any infirmities.

It was surmised that the good defense mechanisms of these patients were able to control the bacteria and the toxins present in the dentin tubules. This occurred because their bodies were not overburdened by other debilitating conditions and, in addition, they had white blood cells and other body-defender mechanisms ready and able to engulf the bacteria and their toxins as they move into the bloodstream from the dentin tubules.
