Could the Cause of Your Illness Be Right Under Your Nose?

by Will Revak / Affiliate Links ✔

Do you ever wonder what compels a person to take and refute decades of “established” research all in the name of helping humanity?

We recently came across a new piece of information about one of our heroes, Dr. Weston A Price.

Many readers of this blog will already be familiar with who Dr. Price was and the gift to humanity his research continues to provide.  After all, we couldn’t perform this research now as we don’t have the isolated cultures still intact!

While most of us are now familiar with the research Dr. Price performed with isolated cultures that he highlighted in his landmark book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, some of you may not be aware of the research Dr. Price did with embedding root canal teeth under the skin of rabbits. What could have provoked Dr. Price to conduct this study? What could have compelled a practicing dentist to shift his focus to research? Read on…

As a practicing dentist, Dr. Price once performed a root canal on a 16 year old young man. This young man died of a heart attack shortly thereafter. Dr. Price then removed the root canal tooth from the young man who had the fatal heart attack (after he died) and embedded just the tip of one of the roots of the tooth under the skin on the belly of a rabbit.

Two weeks later, that rabbit died of a heart attack. Dr. Price then removed the root tip from the dead rabbit and again embedded the root tip under the skin of a second rabbit. Two weeks later, the second rabbit died from a heart attack. Over the course of many months, Dr. Price took that same single root tip and embedded it under the skin of 100 rabbits. All 100 rabbits died within approximately 2 weeks, all from heart attack.

100 out of 100? All of the same cause of death???

Clearly, realizing that his dental work had caused the death of this young man provoked Dr. Price to shift the direction of his whole life’s work.

Over the course of next 35 years, Dr. Price relentlessly studied the impact that the mouth has on the health of the whole body. He experimented on over 60,000 rabbits (I know, I’m not a fan of animal testing either, but since it’s already been done, let us all learn from the work).

Dr. Price found a correlation between the dental work and whole body diseases. He found that heart attacks are one of the diseases that transferred 100% of the time. But he also found that many other diseases transferred from an embedded root canal tooth to a rabbit. Some of these diseases only transferred 88% of the time. Diseases like arthritis, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, the list is long…

How do we know that the death of this young man deeply impacted Dr. Price? Well, he dedicated one of his textbooks to this young man Donald. Donald Price.

Yes, Weston Price did a root canal on his own son who then died of a heart attack. It’s clear to me as a father that feeling the responsibility for the death of one’s own child would drive a person like Weston Price to make researching the impact the mouth has on the health of the whole body one’s life mission.

We encourage us all to learn from this so the death of a child and the relentless pursuit of the truth over the course of 35 years of research doesn’t go wasted. May we be inspired by this person who was able to take tragedy and redirect that energy into a work so that we could live healthier lives.

Knowledge is power.

    I have almost more root canals than regular teeth. Meh, what can be done about the past? Well, at least I now know what my impending cause of death will be.

    My holistic dentist told me that one root canal can be more toxic than a whole mouth full of amalgams. I actually just recently finished the process of getting all my amalgams replaced and getting my root canal tooth pulled. It’s interesting to note that the lymph nodes in my neck that have stayed big since I had mono about 4 years ago are FINALLY almost back to normal- all since I had my root canal tooth pulled. If you go this website: https://www.hugginsappliedhealing.com/ and call Dr. Huggins’ office, you can talk to the very friendly receptionist and she can give you locations of holistic dentists that were trained by Dr. Huggins to safely do these procedures. I’ve had a VERY good experience with my dentist- and I’m happy to answer anyone’s questions 🙂

    Is it OK to take the CLO and/or CLO/BO capsules, or do you have to take the liquid to get the benefits for the teeth? Is there any other reasons that the liquid is better than the capsules?

    What is so awesome about this and all the nutrition information that is coming out lately is that eventually it will be mainstream and it will be normal to heal ourselves of many things. At least I won’t be a freak forever! Lol Thank you Sarah for all you do!

    So what’s the alternative. I understand they are bad, but if someone is needing one, what is to be done? I feel the article is incomplete without that addressed.
