Dr. Michael Gerber has always been drawn to natural approaches to medicine, and early in his practice he studied with many well-known medical pioneers such as Dr. John Christopher, Dr. Paavo Airola, and two-time Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling. He has been a chelating physician since 1976 and has been a diplomate of the American Board of Chelation Therapy since 1984.

Walter Lemmo, ND, is the medical director and founder of LEMMO Integrated Cancer Care Inc. in Vancouver, BC., the longest running naturopathic medical clinic focused in cancer care in Canada servicing patients locally and internationally since 1999. In addition to his practice, in 2011 Dr. Lemmo co-founded Thrive Alive Foundation, a charitable organization committed to providing resources and assistance to people in need for cancer treatments and services not covered by government or health plans.

Thrive Alive Foundation began operating its Thrive Support Program in 2012 and has supported patient treatments from various health practitioners, cancer agencies, including lodging support across Canada.

Dr. Michael J. Gonzalez is Professor of Nutrition at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus and Adjunct faculty at the University of Western States. Dr. Gonzalez is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, and has authored over 200 scientific publications. He and his colleague, Dr. Miranda -Massari have developed many new scientific concepts, such as the Bioenergetic theory of carcinogenesis, the systemic saturation phenomenon of intravenous vitamin C, the metabolic correction concept for disease treatment and prevention. Doctor Gonzalez is a coauthor of two books, I Have Cancer What Should I do: The Orthomolecular Guide to Cancer Management and New Insights Vitamin C and Cancer.

Thomas Levy, MD, JD, is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney.

He has written ten books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all tested toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. Others address the important roles of dental toxicity and nutrition in disease and health. Currently, Dr. Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases. His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, and that they all benefit from protocols that optimize the antioxidant levels in the body.

Ron Hunninghake, MD, is the Chief Medical Officer of the Olive W. Garvey Center for Healing Arts, the clinical division of the Riordan Clinic. A 1976 graduate of the University of Kansas School of Medicine, Dr. Hunninghake has devoted his career to the emerging paradigm of Self Care: the patient as an informed medical partner.

DSM III was the “book that changed everything.”

Validating the Disease Model: The Chemical Imbalance Theory of Mental Disorders

The Disease Model

1981: “Researchers believe clinical depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.” University of Chicago psychiatrist Herbert Meltzer, in interview with Associated Press.

“The major psychiatric illnesses are diseases. They should be considered medical illnesses, just as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are.” The thought was that each “different illness has a different specific cause . . . There are many hints that mental illness is due to chemical imbalances in the brain and that treatment involves correcting these chemical imbalances.”

1988. Antidepressants “restore the chemical imbalance scientists have linked to many depressions.” John Talbott, former president of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), in interview with the St. Petersburg Times.

2001: “We now know that mental illnesses--such as depression or schizophrenia--are not ‘moral weaknesses’ or ‘imagined’ but real diseases caused by abnormalities of brain structure and imbalances of chemicals in the brain.” -- APA President Richard Harding, in article in Family Circle magazine.

Nancy Andreasen Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Psychiatry The Broken Brain, 1984

The Public Believes

.

2001: Antidepressants “restore brain chemistry to normal.” Future APA President Nada Stotland, in Family Circle magazine.

In a 2006 survey: 2005: A psychiatrist is a “specialist specifically trained to diagnose and treat chemical imbalances.”--APA press release.

• 87

percent of Americans said they now knew that schizophrenia was caused by a chemical imbalance.

2005: “Antidepressants may be prescribed to correct imbalances in the levels of chemicals in the brain.” APA’s “Let’s Talk Facts About Depression” brochure.

• 80

percent of Americans said they now knew that depression was caused by a chemical imbalance.

2014: “Research has shown that imbalance in neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine can be corrected with antidepressants.” --National Alliance on Mental Illness.

What Science Revealed About the Low Serotonin Theory of Depression

“There is no clear and convincing evidence that a monoamine deficiency accounts for depression; that is, there is no real monoamine deficit.”

“Elevations or decrements in the functioning of serotonergic systems per se are not likely to be associated with depression.”

--Stephen Stahl, Essential Psychopharmacology, 2000

--NIMH, 1984 J. Maas, “Pretreatment neurotransmitter metabolite levels and response to tricyclic antidepressant drugs.” Am J Psychiatry 141 (1984): 1159–71.

The Scientific Conclusion

And Now for the Rest of the Story: Drug-Induced Oppositional Tolerance

“We have hunted for big simple neurochemical explanations for psychiatric disorders and have not found them.”

Anatomy of an Epidemic – The History and Science of a Failed Paradigm of Care Robert Whitaker A Paradigm for Understanding Psychotropic Drugs

The Possible Consequences of “Oppositional Tolerance”

Stephen Hyman, former director of the NIMH, 1996:

“Continued drug treatment may induce processes that are the opposite of what the medication originally produced.” This may !“cause a worsening of the illness, continue for a period of time after discontinuation of the medication, and may not be reversible.”

• Psychiatric medications “create perturbations in neurotransmitter functions.”

• In response, the brain goes through a series of compensatory adaptations in order “to maintain their equilibrium in the face of alterations in the environment or changes in the internal milieu.”

• The “chronic administration” of the drugs then cause “substantial and longlasting alterations in neural function.”

-Rif El-Mallakh, University of Louisville, 2011

• After a few weeks, the person’s brain is now functioning in a manner that is

“qualitatively as well as quantitatively different from the normal state.”

The Hippocratic Oath The Long-term Effects of Antidepressants

In order for a treatment to do no harm, it must improve on natural recovery rates.

Long-term Outcomes in the Pre-Antidepressant Era “Assurance can be given to a patient and to his family that subsequent episodes of illness after a first mania or even a first depression will not tend toward a more chronic course.”

• Emil Kraepelin, 1921. Sixty percent of 450 patients hospitalized for an initial bout of depression experienced but a single bout of the illness, and only 13% had three or more episodes in their lives.

• Horatio Pollock, New York State, 1931. In a long-term study of 2700 first-episode depressed patients, more than half never had another bout of depression that required hospitalization, and only 13% had three or more episodes.

--George Winokur, Washington University, Manic Depressive Illness, 1969

• Gunnar Lundquist, Sweden, 1945. In an 18-year study of 216 patients, 49% had only a single episode, and another 21% had only one other episode.

The Chronicity Worry is Tested

Clinical Perceptions in Early Years of Antidepressant Use

J.D.Van Scheyen, Dutch psychiatry, 1973: After conducting a study of 94 depressed patients, he concluded that “it was evident, particularly in the female patients, that more systematic long-term antidepressant medication, with or without ECT [electronconvulsive therapy], exerts a paradoxical effect on the recurrent nature of the vital depression. In other words, this therapeutic approach was associated with an increase in recurrent rate and a decrease in cycle duration . . .

Should [this increase] be regarded as an untoward longterm side effect of treatment with tricyclic antidepressants?”

•

H.P. Hoheisel, German physician, 1966: Exposure to antidepressants appeared to be “shortening the intervals” between depressive episodes.

• Nikola Schipkowensky, Bulgarian psychiatrist, 1970: The antidepressants were inducing “a change to a more chronic course.”

Anatomy of an Epidemic – The History and Science of a Failed Paradigm of Care Robert Whitaker High-Relapse Rates Following Antidepressant Use

An Episodic Illness Turns Chronic in the Antidepressant Era

In a 1997 meta-analysis, Harvard researchers report that 50% of all drug-withdrawn patients relapsed within 14 months.

They also noted that the longer the patient had been on an antidepressant prior to drug withdrawal, the higher the relapse rate.

National Institute of Mental Health Panel on mood disorders, 1985:

“Improved approaches to the description and classification of [mood] disorders and new epidemiologic studies [have] demonstrated the recurrent and chronic nature of these illnesses, and the extent to which they represent a continual source of distress and dysfunction for affected individuals.”

(In the pre-antidepressant era, this was the relapse rate seen in studies that lasted 15 years or more.)

However, more extensive studies have disproved this assumption.” It was now known that “depression is a highly recurrent and pernicious disorder.”

Outcomes in Minnesota

According to mainstream texts:

• One-third of all unipolar patients are non-responders to antidepressants. This group goes on to have a chronic course.

In 2009, only 1,131 of 23,887 patients treated for major depression or dysthmia were in remission at the end of one year.

• Another third are partial responders. However, “resolution of major depressive episode with residual subthreshold depressive symptoms, even the first lifetime episode, appears to be the first step of a more severe, relapsing, and chronic future course.”

• The final third of patients see their symptoms remit over the short term. About half of this group, when maintained on an antidepressant, stay well for long periods of time.

Are Antidepressants Depressogenic Over the Long-Term?

“Only 15% of people with unipolar depression experience a single bout of the illness,” and for the remaining 85%, with each new episode, remissions become “less complete and new recurrences develop with less provocation.”

“Antidepressant drugs in depression might be beneficial in the short term, but worsen the progression of the disease in the long term, by increasing the biochemical vulnerability to depression . . . Use of antidepressant drugs may propel the illness to a more malignant and treatment unresponsive course.”

A Biological Explanation for Why Antidepressants May Be Depressogenic Agents Over the Long-Term The Problem

• Over time, antidepressants induce brain changes that “are the opposite of what the the medication originally produced.” Rather than raise serotonin levels, the drugs over the long-term impair serotonergic pathways in the brain.

“If as many as 85% of depressed individuals who go without somatic treatment spontaneously recover within one year, it would be extremely difficult for any intervention to demonstrate a superior result to this.”

--Michael Posternak

Animal Evidence

• In studies with rats, long-term treatment with an SSRI led to markedly reduced serotonin in “nine areas of the brain.” In addition, treatment with an SSRI leads to a reduced density of receptors for serotonin in the brain.

• In experiments with animals, such impairments in serotonergic functions are “associated with increased depressive and anxious behaviors.”

Tardive Dysphoria “A chronic and treatment-resistant depressive state is proposed to occur in individuals who are exposed to potent antagonists of serotonin reuptake pumps (i.e. SSRIs) for prolonged time periods. Due to the delay in the onset of this chronic depressive state, it is labeled tardive dysphoria. Tardive dysphoria manifests as a chronic dysphoric state that is initially transiently relieved by -- but ultimately becomes unresponsive to !-- antidepressant medication. Serotonergic antidepressants may be of particular importance in the development of tardive dysphoria.”

The Antidepressant Pathway to Bipolar Fred Goodwin, former director of the National Institute of Mental Health, 2005:

In 2004, Yale University investigators reviewed the records of 87,290 patients diagnosed with depression or anxiety between 1997 and 2001, and those treated with an antidepressant converted to bipolar at the rate of 7.7% per year, which was three times greater than those not exposed to the drugs. As a result, 20 to 40% of unipolar depressed patients in the U.S. who stay on antidepressants long-term convert to bipolar illness.

“If you create iatrogenically a bipolar patient, that patient is likely to have recurrences of bipolar illness even if the offending antidepressant is discontinued. The evidence shows that once a patient has had a manic episode, he or she is more likely to have another one, even without the antidepressant stimulation.”

Anatomy of a Failed Paradigm of Care

And Finally, a Diagnostic Manual that Lacks Validity

• •

“When I graduated a generation ago, I accepted DSM IV as if it were the truth. I trusted that my elders would put the truth first, and then compromise for practical purposes where they had no truths to follow. It took me two decades to realize a painful truth, spoken now frankly by those who gave us DSM III when Ronald Reagan

• •

was elected, and by those who gave us DSM IV when Bill Clinton was president: the leaders of those DSMs don’t believe there are scientific truths in psychiatric diagnosis —only mutually agreed upon falsehoods. They call it reliability.”

The biology of mental disorders remains unknown.

Psychiatric drugs induce the very abnormalities hypothesized to cause mental disorders (oppositional tolerance).

Over the long-term, antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs increase the chronicity of the disorders they are supposed to treat.

Antidepressants and stimulants increase the risk that a person will turn “bipolar,” which is fueling the increase in the number of disabled mentally ill.

Since the publication of DSM III, the number of people disabled by mental illness in the United States and other developed countries has soared.

The DSM categories lack “validity”.

•! In 98 individuals, enterotypes were strongly associated with long-term diets, particularly protein and animal fat (Bacteroides ) versus carbohydrates (Prevotella ).

•! A controlled-feeding study of 10 subjects showed that microbiome composition changed detectably within 24 hours of initiating a high-fat/low-fiber or low-fat/ high-fiber diet, but that enterotype identity remained stable during the 10-day study

•! Animal proteins and fats 2-3 times higher in Western diet •! Carbohydrates and fibre far higher in African diet •! Profound differences in gut microbiota composition African Americans switched to a high fibre/low fat diet for 2 weeks = significant reductions in mucosal inflammation and biomarkers of cancer risk (Africans switched to Western diet showed the opposite)

The obvious solution?

This was the compendium of “Common Knowledge”

Teach everyone to eat better

100 years ago!

(It would have been in Clinical Practice Guidelines)

Paxton s Start the Conversation

An important digression:

What all clinicians can do

1.! How many times a week do you eat fast food meals or snacks

•! Start the conversation!

•! Here’s something every clinician could say to every patient/client:

2. How many regular sodas or glasses of sweet tea do you drink each day?

3. How many servings of fruit do you eat each day?

4. How many servings of vegetables do you eat each day?

There is an increasing amount of scientific data showing that what we eat influences how we feel. Let s talk about your diet.

Single nutrient research

re: The obvious solution

Began in earnest, scientifically, in the 1920s

Prominent Promoters of Chronic Degenerative Diseases %%

Prominent Promoters of Chronic Degenerative Diseases&

&

1. Infections (endotoxins, exotoxins, aerobic and anaerobic metabolic byproducts, dental); documented to strongly promote oxidative stress and lessen antioxidant capacity 2. Known exogenous toxin exposures (heavy metal, pesticides, etc.)

3. Toxic iron status (most people in “normal” range are toxic) 4. Toxic calcium status (the rule in all adults) 5. Dietary toxin exposures (constipated gut, Clostridium); inadequate/poor nutrition and/or poor digestion; poor digestion is worse than poor nutrition in terms of impact on the antioxidant capacity of the body 6. Low sex hormone levels; low or elevated thyroid hormone levels; low thyroid especially important in promoting infection

All promoters of chronic degenerative diseases share one common denominator: they cause/ promote/result in:

Increased Oxidative Stress

Increased Oxidative Stress&

Toxins and Infections: Common Denominator

A state existing when the production of free radicals (highly reactive pro-oxidants) in the human body exceeds the body's antioxidant capacity to neutralize them, or to prevent their production in the first place. Oxidative stress always results when there is a deficiency of antioxidants and/or there is an excess of free radicals. Halliwell, 2006 [16760481]

& Question: What do all toxins and infections have in common?

Increased oxidative stress can also be characterized as existing when excess levels of previously oxidized biomolecules (RNA, DNA, enzymes, structural proteins, lipids, sugars) are present.

Answer: All infections and all toxins cause cell/tissue damage and produce symptoms by increasing oxidative stress. No exceptions.

Increased Oxidative Stress and Disease

Redox Physiology: How Does It Work?

Nutrient/Toxin Relationship

Increased oxidative stress (intracellular and/or

extracellular) causes all diseases and causes all disease symptoms The many variations in clinical disease expression pertain to: 1. The intracellular organelles, cells, tissues, and/or areas the body with increased oxidative stress 2. The biochemical properties of the molecules (toxins) directly causing the increased oxidative stress 3. The genetic predispositions (susceptibilities) present 4. The chronicity of the increased oxidative stress 5. The degree of increased oxidative stress

!"#$%#%$&

The defining property of a nutrient is to metabolize into one or more substances that have the ability to donate electrons (REDUCTION):

Antioxidant = Nutrient Nutrient = Antioxidant

Redox Physiology: How Does It Work?

Redox Physiology: How Does It Work?

Nutrient/Toxin Relationship

Even though there is a tremendous variety of molecular structure among all of the known toxins, they ALL SHARE the property of taking, or causing to take, electrons from other molecules, oxidizing them and causing a state of increased oxidative stress. They also share the property of HOLDING ON to those electrons, and not allowing themselves to be readily oxidized again, as is seen with an antioxidant molecule like vitamin C. If a molecule does not cause the loss of one or more electrons from another molecule it IS NOT TOXIC, and it CANNOT BE TOXIC. Toxicity and any symptoms of toxicity cannot exist unless electrons are being taken from other molecules (oxidation) and retained by the toxin.

The defining property of a toxin, directly or indirectly, is its ability to take electrons (OXIDATION): Pro-oxidant = Toxin Toxin = Pro-oxidant

&

The Basic Laws of Redox Physiology

Toxins: Basic Principles Factors determining the clinical expression of toxins:

1. Electrons are literally the fuel of life. The “combustion” of this fuel is nothing more than the flow (exchange or relay) of electrons between and among biomolecules (reduction/ oxidation)

1. Solubility characteristics (water- or fat-soluble; a determinant as to where toxin accumulation occurs) 2. Molecular size (access, permeability) 3. Ionic charge (access, permeability) 4. Physical mass of accumulation 5. Access of intrinsic chelators to sites of toxin accumulation (for example, glutathione transferases) 6. Were intrinsic chelators or other molecules of detoxification among the molecules oxidized?

7. Whether the chemical nature of toxin initiates oxidative chain reactions, massively upregulating oxidative stress

2. All increased oxidative stress causes electron depletion and inhibits optimal electron flow 3. All toxic effects are caused by increased oxidative stress.

4. Increased oxidative stress IS all disease.

Toxins: Basic Principles

!"#$%#%$&

Toxins: Basic Principles Factors determining the clinical expression of toxins:

Factors determining the clinical expression of toxins: 8. The chemical nature of a toxin prevents redonation of the electrons taken (basic difference between an antioxidant and a reduced toxin); an antioxidant readily gives up electrons, and a reduced toxin does not. This is why antioxidant molecules molecules PROMOTE electron exchange and flow, while toxin BLOCK electron exchange and flow. This is also why an antioxidant can repair an oxidized biomolecule, while a toxin cannot, even though both the antioxidant and the toxin are replete with electrons; the chemical nature of the toxin only allows it to repeatedly take and keep electrons, while the antioxidant can take and give electrons. After toxins acquire electrons, they are in their most stable chemical configuration, and they are unable to donate electrons as an antioxidant would. & &

9. Physical accumulation, above and beyond the oxidation of nearby biomolecules, can further impair normal tissue function by physically interfering with the ability of biomolecules, enzymes, and antioxidants to interact. It is this physical accumulation that effective chelation and/or excretion can greatly lessen over time. Even if a toxin has already oxidized a biomolecule and is relatively nonreactive, it can further impair cellular function by making it more difficult for vital cellular molecules to physically interact and/or react with one another, as long as it is not mobilized and excreted.

Toxins: Basic Principles

Increased Oxidative Stress and Redox Physiology&

Factors determining the clinical expression of toxins:

The biomolecules of the body (enzymes, proteins, fats, sugars, structural molecules, etc.) exist in either a reduced or an oxidized state. Rarely, a biomolecule might be chemically inert and not be technically oxidizable, although it would still be technically in a reduced state, with a full contingent of elections.

When reduced, the biomolecules have their optimal state of electron repletion/saturation; oxidized biomolecules are in a state of electron depletion. Reduced biomolecules are in a state of optimal physiological function; oxidized biomolecules are in a state of decreased to absent physiological function.

10. Toxins can be directly pro-oxidant by oxidizing the biomolecules near to them. Toxins can also be predominantly indirectly pro-oxidant, such as when they inactivate any of a number of antioxidants or antioxidant enzymes (for example, superoxide dismutase or catalase), which then results in the secondary upregulation of oxidative stress. An example would be the binding of a heavy metal like mercury to the sulfhydryl groups in various enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants such as glutathione and N-acetylcysteine.

Increased Oxidative Stress and Redox Physiology&

Increased Oxidative Stress and Redox Physiology&

Furthermore, as oxidative stress increases and the redox balance ratio decreases, there is less effective electron flow in a given tissue, organ, multicellular, or cellular microenvironment. Redox molecules, like vitamin C, promote these vital microcurrents and facilitate the maintenance of healthy transmembrane electrical potentials.

The health of any area of the body is directly related to its ability to permit electron flow through the tissues.

Oxidized biomolecules block this flow, or severely impede it, depending on their prominence (concentration) in a given area of the body.

The degree to which a tissue, organ, or a specific microenvironment in the body is optimally functional (wellness) versus being decreased in, or devoid of, function is directly related to the ratio of how many biomolecules are reduced to how many biomolecules are oxidized (redox ratio: reduction/oxidation) in that area of the body.

A higher redox ratio reflects better physiological function and health; a lower ratio reflects different degrees of disease.

Treatment Principles for All Chronic Degenerative Diseases

Treatment Principles for All Chronic Degenerative Diseases&

1. Prevent/minimize new daily toxin exposure (environmental, dental, dietary, digestive) 2. Neutralize existing toxins present in body 3. Excrete toxin stores in a non-toxic, or minimally toxic, manner 4. Resolve infections, and eliminate the reasons for contracting new infections 5. Supplement optimally to maximize the antioxidant/ nutrient status of the body as completely as possible 6. Address hormone imbalance, typically deficiencies of testosterone, estrogen, and/or thyroid hormone &

Dental infections and non-infectious sources of dental toxicity are involved in all six of these treatment principles, as will be discussed.

Very, very few people (none??) with any significant chronic degenerative disease(s) have a healthy mouth.

Even the “healthy” mouth is filled with pathogens, and pathogens are the most reliable source of new, ongoing, and highly potent toxins. When the pathogens in the mouth are allowed and helped to magnify, substantial chronic disease can then ensue, lead prominently by heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disease.

Primary Sources of Oral Infection/Toxicity&

The Root Canal Procedure&

!"#$%#%$&

1. Root canal-treated teeth (most impactful, along with painful, acutely abscessed teeth) 2. Other chronically infected teeth (typically asymptomatic) 3. Chronic periodontal (gum) infection/inflammation 4. Cavitational gangrene (old extractions and around root tips of root canal-treated teeth) 5. Chronically infected tonsils (draining root canals and other infected teeth) 6. Infected dental implants 7. Toxic metals (mercury, nickel, etc.)

The Root CanalTreated Tooth&

The Root CanalTreated Tooth&

Over 5000 consecutive extracted root canal-treated teeth were examined and analyzed. 100% had pathogens and highly potent pathogen-related toxins. If there does exist a nontoxic root canal-treated tooth, it remains to be found and reported. Of note, “normal” teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes and analyzed showed no toxins or pathogens.

All root canal-treated teeth continually produce endogenous toxins as the pathogens proliferate. Root canals that have been “identified” as infected have been found to have fungi, viruses, and over 460 different types of bacteria. (Siqueira, 2009 [19828883]) Any combination from this array of microbes and pathogens, however, represents what can be found in all root canal-treated teeth.

Once it is realized that all root canals are chronically infected, the mainstream dental literature provides the evidence clearly showing the wide array of pathogens and microbes that are present in these treated teeth. (Vidana 2011 [21155997]; Nobrega 2013 [23408792]; Siqueira 2013 [23554416]) Furthermore, this literature also documents the presence of endotoxins in these teeth. On the teeth that the researchers “acknowledged” to be infected, endotoxins were found to be present in 30 of 30 such teeth (Gomes 2012 [22794210]) A similar study found endotoxins in 21 of 21 root canals acknowledged to be infected. (Martinho 2011 [21238796]) Another study that looked at “asymptomatic” and symptomatic root canals, the DNA of bacterial pathogens was seen in 34 of 34 patients. (Rocas 2011 [21846535]) Finding a sterile root canal-treated tooth would be as amazing as finding a sterile mouth; either finding simply does not exist, as it is the mouth that “feeds” the remaining pulp and apex with microbes and pathogens.

From the draining veins, first high-pressure blood vessels to receive the pathogens/toxins: coronary arteries (and then the cerebral arteries) 8. From the draining lymphatics, a chronic to-andfro sharing of the pathogens/toxins with the lymphatic circulation of the breast(s)

1. Fatally-flawed procedure, assuring chronic infection 100% of the time 2. Immune system no longer has access to much of the tooth, or to the dentinal tubules 3.

Regular X-ray vs. 3D Digital X-ray&

Always highly toxic, but variably toxic, depending on:

In root canal-treated teeth, which are 100% infected, regular X-ray shows clear periapical pathology (radiolucencies from bone resorption secondary to infection) between 40 and 70% of the time, largely dependent on the quality of the X-ray and the experience of the interpreting dentist.

DeMoor, 2000 [11307451]; Saunders, 1998 [9744239]; Gunduz, 2011 [21689415]; Weiger, 1997 [9550033]

1. Unique pathogen flora (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa) 2. The tooth involved (small incisor versus large molar) 3. Containment; the degree to which the supporting bone becomes cavitated, further facilitating dissemination 4. Genetic predisposition to different diseases 5. How long the root canal has been present 6. The quality and quantity of nutrition and supplementation 7. Hormonal status, especially thyroid, directly and strongly affecting the likelihood and degree to which focal infection can spread and re-situate, as in the coronary and cerebral artery endothelial layers 8. Age and general health of the patient (significant osteopenia, osteoporosis elsewhere in the body?; immunocompromised?)

Regular X-ray vs. 3D Digital X-ray&

Root Canal and Periapical Infection&

In one study a careful examination was made of the same 46 root canal-treated teeth with regular X-rays and then with the 3D Digital X-rays.

Periapical pathology (infection) was seen on 70% of the 2D exams and on 91% of the 3D exams. Lofthag-Hansen, 2007 [17178504] While infection is always present in root canals, pathology is clearly very often missed by regular X-rays, especially with less critically interpreted studies. Even though the root canal-treated tooth is always infected, radiolucencies at the root tip can more easily convince the otherwise reluctant dentist to extract the tooth.

Inflammation and Coronary Artery Disease& Inflammation is now accepted as the primary cause for initiating and evolving atherosclerosis.

[Rosenfeld (2013), 23357128] Furthermore, atherosclerosis is now considered a chronic inflammatory disease [Legein (2013), 23430000]

But What Causes the Chronic Inflammation?&

But What Causes the Chronic Inflammation?& Pathogens, along with their associated toxins, are now accepted as a major (perhaps nearly entire?) reason for chronic inflammation at all stages of atherosclerosis [Bzowska (2012), 22556042]

Inflammation requires a pro-oxidant presence; for coronary artery disease, this is the seeding of pathogens and associated toxins from oral infectious sources into the coronary endothelium. When the seeding does not stop, the immune inflammatory response becomes chronic, and it becomes the disease it was designed to prevent.

Periodontal disease has long been clearly “linked” to the presence and evolution of atherosclerosis [Andriankaja (2011), 21375559; Shrihari (2012), 22313976].

As Hal A. Huggins, DDS, MS put it:

Periodontal disease (gum infection) has also been recognized as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease [Humphrey (2008), 18807098]. &

“You can’t dry off while you are still in the shower.”

Root Canals and Heart Attacks: The DNA of oral pathogens typical for root canal and gum infection flora has consistently been identified in coronary atherosclerotic plaque [Haraszthy (2000), 11063387; Mattila (2005), 16277580; Mahendra (2010), 20657096] Also consistent with this poly-pathogen oral presence, a bacterial diversity of >50 different species has been identified in atherosclerotic lesions obtained via atherectomy. [Ott (2006), 16490835]

Root Canals and Heart Attacks: DNA of pathogens typical for periodontal infection and endodontic (root canal) origin were present in the blood clots aspirated from patients with acute myocardial infarction. [Pessi (2013), 23418311] 101 patients: endodontic (root canal-treated tooth) origin— 78%; periodontal origin—35% Total amount of DNA found in the clots was 16 times higher than was present in just the arterial blood

Root CanalTreated Tooth&

!"#$%#%$&

Root CanalTreated Tooth& In an extraordinarily surprising study from a mainstream dental journal, it was stated that individuals who reported having had two or more root canal-treated teeth were statistically more likely to have coronary artery disease.

(Caplan 2009 [19654253]). Either no one was paying attention or no one wanted to pay attention. Regardless, all dental patients should be made aware of this study (and a summary of the rest of the data already cited) in their informed consent before receiving a root canal procedure.

Root Canals and Heart Attacks: Pessi’s study now finally converts the “link, association, correlation, risk factor” etc. conclusions of so many previous studies examining the mouth-heart disease connection to the now clear and inescapable conclusion: Root canal-treated teeth and periodontal disease have cause-and-effect relationships to coronary artery disease and heart attacks.

Another study reported that “incident lesions” (aka, radiolucencies from chronic infection) of root canal origin on the X-rays of a group of individuals were associated with the more rapid development of coronary artery disease. (Caplan 2006 [17062738]) Similar findings have been seen more recently. (Pasqualini 2012 [23146639]; Willershausen 2013 [23604464])

Inflammation, Focal Infection, and Pathogens&

Inflammation, Focal Infection, and Pathogens& The same group that looked at root canal/ periodontal pathogens accumulating in acute MI thrombi also looked at the pericardial fluid postmortem of coronary artery disease patients. A sizeable majority of the fluid specimens had oral pathogen-specific DNA detectable by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing, and the worse the coronary artery disease was, the greater the total amount of DNA was found in the fluid.

[Louhelainen (2014), 25412607]

Consistent with the seeding of coronary atheromas with oral pathogens of root canal and periodontal origin, strong evidence also indicates the same thing occurs in cerebrovascular arteries. Root canal-related bacteria were found in a majority of patients with ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. [Pyysalo (2013), 23761916; Pyysalo (2016), 26777430]

Root CanalTreated Tooth&

Root CanalTreated Tooth&

In addition to the cause-and-effect relationship that is now established between root canals and atherosclerosis, a strong link has also been long-noted between root canals and cancer.

In the 1950s when very few root canals were being done, relative to today, Dr. Josef Issels found that 98% of his adult advanced cancer patients had, in Issels’ words, “between two and ten dead teeth.” Dr. Issels categorized a root canal as a dead tooth. [Issels (2005) Cancer: A Second Opinion, Garden City Park, NY: Square One Publishers, Inc.] Issels always extracted these teeth first, and his cancer survival rates were quite phenomenal.

The draining lymphatics and veins of the jaw and mandible make significant antioxidant depletion (increased oxidative stress) most likely to occur to the greatest degree in the head, neck, and chest (lymphatics) and the coronary/cerebral arteries (venous drainage). Once the pathogens and toxins enter the venous drainage, the first artery to be encountered is the coronary artery, with the attendant high pressure and shear force facilitating their endothelial localization/implantation.

Root Canals and Other Infected Teeth&

!"#$%#%$&

Root Canals and Other Infected Teeth& A regular Panorex mouth X-ray misses a lot of pathology. 3D digital X-rays of the mouth need to become an integral part of the routine baseline evaluation of any chronic degenerative disease patient, especially heart disease and cancer. The patient does not have to have chronic sinusitis for a chronically infected tooth to be present. And you will never know such a tooth is present if you don’t look for it. You don’t know someone has diabetes until you measure their blood sugar.

A minority of chronically infected teeth are symptomatic. An acutely abscessed, very painful tooth, relative to other infected teeth is the exception and not the rule. However, both types of infected tooth are highly toxic. Therefore, it is essential to look for such infected teeth proactively in the asymptomatic mouth, as their removal can end up being the most beneficial intervention you can offer your patient.

Chronically Infected Teeth and Sinus Infection&

Panorex X-Ray (2D)&

In addition to all the other reasons for looking proactively for asymptomatic infected teeth, you should also always do a thorough 3D examination of the teeth in any patient with chronic or unresolving sinusitis problems, or even chronic rhinitis. Anyone who tells you they have any trouble at all getting a good night’s sleep due to nasal stuffiness should be evaluated in this fashion.

Lymphatics, Neck and Chest&

!"#$%#%$&

Lymphatics, Neck and Chest& While the lymphatic system is designed to flow in only one direction, disease, inflammation (as would be seen with the chronic presence of oral pathogen toxins in the lymph), enlarged lymph nodes, and other conditions can result in retrograde lymphatic flow as well.

This effective “sharing” of lymphatically-drained pathogens and toxins makes the head, neck, and chest especially sensitive to the antioxidant depletion caused by root canals, and it is a major factor in the causation of cancer in the head, neck, and chest.

Any treatment plan in a patient with a brain tumor or breast cancer that does not include a proper extraction of root canals and other infected teeth is missing the most consistent way to both get a tumor remission and a maintenance of that remission, without relapse or the appearance of a new malignancy. The cause of a cancer must be eliminated along with the cancer itself in any complete cancer treatment protocol.

Root CanalTreated Tooth&

Root Canals and Tonsils&

The root canal-treated tooth, due to its extraordinary ability to deplete antioxidants and promote chronic inflammation in affected tissues and organs, can be considered:

The root canal and other infected teeth “trash” the tonsils.

Tonsils “manage” dental infections, but chronic infections like root canals overwhelm the tonsil, especially the ipsilateral one, and it morphs from an infection “manager” to a site of chronic infection than remains unresolved until surgically removed. Quite often, such infected tonsils continue to inflict a significant degree of chronic toxicity indefinitely after the root canal(s) or other infected teeth are gone, harboring many of the pathogens previously contained in the root canal (or the infected gums). Issels routinely removed the tonsils in his cancer patients, and he commented that nearly all of them were abscessed and chronically infected, even when appearing normal on examination.

As a practical point, keep the option of tonsillectomy open for a patient who is not properly responding to what appears to otherwise be a complete and comprehensive treatment protocol. Tonsillectomy in adults is major surgery but of vital importance if indicated.

1. The single most important cause of cancer of the head, neck, and chest, and 2. The single most important cause of atherosclerosis and heart attacks.

Currently, about 25 million root canal procedures are performed every year.

Periodontal Disease&

Periodontal Disease&

Periodontal (gum) disease is very common in the population today. The presence of this condition has now been wellestablished to be an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. (Humphrey 2008, [18807098]; Kshirsagar 2009 [19165177]; Dorn 2010 [20367093]; Ameet 2013 [23730671]; Hanaoka 2013 [23676848]; Kodovazenitis 2013 [23713486])

Any infection and/or inflammation in the gums (even advanced conditions) is usually very effectively treated by daily, warm water irrigation (as with a Waterpik): 1 to 2 large cupfuls with one to two tablespoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide and a splash of preferred mouthwash for taste. Response is typically rapid, with initial significant gum bleeding at lower pressure levels improving to no bleeding at the highest pressure levels within a few weeks or much sooner.

Never floss unless you have impacted food that water irrigation cannot reach, which is almost never the case, or you simply do not have the availability of water irrigation.

A regular Waterpik treatment as described above would prevent most gum disease from ever developing, and would completely resolve a large amount of existing gum disease.

Not surprisingly, periodontal disease features the same array of pathogens and toxins, and the anaerobic environment, as root canal-treated teeth. Advanced periodontal disease and advanced tooth decay are often the reasons that a tooth becomes infected and leads to the root canal procedure being performed in the first place.

Cavitational Osteonecrosis “Cavitations”&

!"#$%#%$&

Cavitations&

A source of dental toxicity that remains little-appreciated, although it is extremely common, especially in older individuals.

Depending on a number of factors, cavitations can be a source of extraordinary ongoing toxicity in some individuals, while representing a relatively minor toxic immune challenge in others.

“Modern” dentistry not only does not appreciate the regular occurrence of cavitations, it shows little to no interest in conducting any meaningful research on it, or to even acknowledging its existence, except in “rare” circumstances.

Simply put, a cavitation is the residual hole resulting from the incomplete healing of the jawbone after a tooth is extracted. And while the hole can sometimes be large enough to compromise the integrity of the jawbone (traumatic fracture), it is the contents of these cavitations that present the real danger.

Cavitation&

Cavitation, Pathology and Schematic&

Cavitation, Extensive, Edentulous&

Cavitation Physiology& Every tooth is seated in the jawbone in a dense encasement of connective tissue known as the periodontal ligament. It serves to both anchor the tooth in its socket, as well as serving as a natural “shock absorber” for the impact of the tooth on the jaw and socket during chewing. It would be like the difference between sleeping on a mattress or a concrete slab.

Cavitation Physiology&

Cavitation Physiology&

In the course of the “routine” tooth extraction, no separate attempt is made to remove or clean out the ligament after the tooth is removed. Much of the time a bit of the ligament stays adhered to the tooth, and a variable amount of the ligament ends up gets inadvertently removed as well. It would appear that leaving the ligament in place is the primary reason that a cavitation forms, supported by an pre-existing poor ability to heal, as in a patient with significant osteoporosis elsewhere in the body.

Hypothesis When all or a significant portion of the periodontal ligament remains in the vacant tooth socket (typical extraction), the surrounding bone cells in the jawbone have no “physiological awareness” that the tooth is gone, since they are still abutting the dense ligament that normally separates them from the tooth. It is only when the ligament has been removed that the physical barrier and restraint that it normally presents to the bone has been removed, and the natural stimulus for osteoblast activity is present. Bone cells have never been known to grow “through” a periodontal ligament and form a direct bony encasement of the tooth.

The loss of the ligament is the natural trigger for new bone growth.

Cavitation Physiology&

Cavitation Pathology&

It would appear that the actual size of the resulting cavitation depends on both the percentage of the ligament extracted and the strength of the patient’s immune system and basic healing ability. How well a blood clot forms, along with its not being disrupted until it naturally resorbs, also plays a big role in what healing does take place.

At the upper edges of the socket, above which the periodontal ligament does not extend, the ligament inhibition to bone growth is never present, and the bone edges are free to gradually grow over the top of the hole, resulting in a typically thin cap of bone, usually complete by about 6 months or so.

Direct intra-cavitation ozone injection can sometimes help grow new bone; using ozone at the time of cavitation cleaning should be even more effective in reducing/eliminating post-surgery residual cavitation.

Cavitation Contents The same variety of toxins and pathogens are seen in the cavitation as in the apex of the root canaltreated tooth. The pathogen population is generally more sparse, however, and there is only a minimal presence of immune cells. All cavitations contain a necrotic content, typically very foul-smelling, that is pathologically and chemically indistinguishable from wet gangrene.

Cavitations: Clinical Consequences&

Cavitations: Clinical Consequences&

The clinical consequences of cavitations are highly variable, depending on one or more of the following factors: 1. Size; larger with more necrotic contents 2. Socket site; molar sites more impactful 3. Presence of adjacent cavitations, promoting extending tunneling and large “channel-like” cavitations 4. Underlying health of patient, relating directly to how much cavitations spread or stay put; spread can be totally unpredictable and ameba-like; older edentulous patients can have cavitations that extend the length of the jawbone and down into the deeply seated alveolar nerves

Generally, chewing exerts relatively little, or no, pressure over a cavitation site in the same manner as an opposing tooth grinding against a root canal-treated tooth. Also, the cavitation is not directly “linked” to natural venous and lymphatic drainage like the root canal. As such, this major factor of toxin/pathogen dissemination with root canals plays no significant role in expressing the contents of a cavitation. Unless the cavitation is very large and extending outside of the original extraction site area, most of the gangrene stays put. Many people with medical problems secondary to root canals can completely resolve with the proper extraction of such teeth, and without addressing sites of cavitation. But not always.

119

Cavitations: Clinical Consequences&

Cavitations: Clinical Consequences&

When the cavitation process expands deep into the bone and begins to surround the alveolar nerves with its progressive necrosis, the myelin sheath of the nerves can degenerate as well, and intense pain syndromes can develop. This pain can potentially be felt directly in the jaw or anywhere in the face, other teeth, mouth, and nasal cavities supplied by the trigeminal nerves. When a pain syndrome is present with cavitation, it is known as Neuralgia-Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis (NICO). However, the vast majority of cavitations in the jaw are not directly associated with any pain syndrome. The presence of pain, however, is an indicator of likely greater systemic toxic impact by the gangrenous cavitational contents.

Without even really knowing about cavitations and their clinical impact, some mainstream dental researchers have inadvertently documented their toxicity: The presence of fewer teeth, a state that is always accompanied by more cavitational necrosis, is related to a greater risk of all-cause mortality, including cardiovascular mortality.

(Elter 2004 [15295942]; Holmlund 2010 [20350152]) Furthermore, less teeth were also associated with a greater incidence of the metabolic syndrome and laboratory markers of inflammation, important factors in the causation of atherosclerosis. (Holmlund 2007 [17722439])

Cavitations: Clinical Consequences&

Cavitations: Clinical Consequences&

It is always desirable to attempt the surgical repair of cavitations, as the long-term impact of these pockets of wet gangrene are inevitably bad for the health.

When large cavitations are surgically explored with the contents and surrounding necrotic bone removed, this often does not result in a complete healing in of the jawbone hole/deficit. However, even a partial resolution of such a cavitation is always desirable, as smaller holes not only contain less necrosis, they also shrink progressively further away from the nerves and apical blood/lymphatic drainage of the socket and become of less long-term clinical consequence.

!"#$%#%$&

Whenever possible, the residual extraction site after surgical cleaning should be allowed to fill with blood and clot normally, with some closure of the overlying gum tissue to keep the clot from becoming dislodged later. In addition to the basic health of the individual’s immune system and bone metabolism, how well a cavitation heals in healthy bone relates to how well the initial blood clot sets, as it provides a physical matrix that facilitates the gradual ingrowth of new bone cells over time.

Cavitations&

Dental Implants&

Nearly 90% of the time a very minimal exploration by a dental drill will find cavitations at the sites of healed-over wisdom teeth extractions, commonly decades after the extractions.

[Levy & Huggins (1996) Routine dental extractions routinely produce cavitations. Journal of Advancement in Medicine 9:235-249.]

Time alone cannot be expected to “heal” such cavitations and fill them in with good bone. They are always permanent unless and until they are properly addressed surgically, and appropriate measures are take to support new bone growth.

Repeated surgeries are often required, but it should be realized that the toxin exposure gets smaller and of less consequence with smaller residual cavitations, especially when surrounded by new bone growth.

Dental implants are another source of variable degrees of toxin exposures, somewhat like cavitations. In any given patient, the toxic impact can be minimal to massive.

A dental implant involves the insertion of a dental material (post or anchor) at the site of a missing tooth. This post allows the subsequent attachment of a prosthetic tooth or even to anchor a bridge.

Unfortunately, the implant procedure is usually initiated relatively shortly after the tooth extraction takes place.

When the extraction was done in a typical fashion, without the proper removal of the periodontal ligament, the implant is being initiated in an area of developing cavitation, which seeds its infectious contents deeper into the bone.

Dental Implants&

Dental Implants&

When implanted into solid, healthy bone, with no developing osteonecrosis, a dental implant can be stable, strong, and often an inconsequentially toxic procedure, although some patients can still develop autoimmune reactions due to the foreign material being directly implanted into bone.

However, these factors are rarely taken into consideration, and the implant is more often put into an area of developing necrosis, with pathogens and toxins already present, in a socket with a poor blood supply, and in an older person with a variable degree of preexisting immune system compromise.

When an implant is performed in its typical fashion, some cavitation in and around the implanted post is largely assured. Nevertheless, since the original roots of the extracted tooth are now absent, the effective delivery upon chewing of the toxins and pathogens that are present is impaired to some degree, relative to the degree to which chewing on a root canal can effectively extrude them into the draining veins and lymphatics.

Dental Implant&

Dental Implants&

!"#$%#%$&

While the toxicity of an implant can potentially be minimal, most dental implants in most older individuals placed without regard to the factors mentioned present significant immune challenges to those patients and are very strong contributors to all chronic degenerative diseases.

A properly performed dental implant is best maintained and prevented from becoming infected by diligent and meticulous gum care, as previously mentioned (Waterpik), as the gum contact point against the prosthesis is the major barrier preventing pathogens from reaching the prothesisbone interface over time.

Thyroid Hormone and Atherosclerosis&

Thyroid Hormone and Atherosclerosis& Although 90%+ of all patients with CAD and heart attacks have dental infection/toxicity, maintaining a EUTHYROID status strongly protects against sustaining a myocardial infarction, seemingly regardless of dental status and other heart disease risk factors.

& Very amazingly, no one was asked to stop smoking or modify any of their dietary or exercise habits during this period of time. 62% of the men in the study group were smokers. Barnes also noted that at least 30 fatal heart attacks occurred in those who stopped thyroid therapy and dropped out of the study. (Barnes and Galton, 1976, Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness)

Broda Barnes reported on 1,569 patients that he treated with dessicated thyroid, most over a 20-year period. Only four men had heart attacks during this period. For a group of this size and age, the Framingham study established that 72 individuals should have sustained heart attacks during a comparable period of time.

Intracellular Hypothyroidism&

!"#$%#%$&

Thyroid Status and Infections&

Most adults are at least mildly hypothyroid; standard thyroid blood tests do not reliably reflect this. Rather, they reflect hyperthyroidism fairly well, as well as severe hypothyroidism.

Much of the reason for this is that most mildly hypothyroid individuals have intracellular rather than glandular hypothyroidism.

Roughly 80% of the T4 produced by the thyroid is converted to T3 outside of the thyroid gland throughout the cells of the body, making many cells de facto “mini-thyroid glands.”

Routine blood testing reflects the normalcy of thyroid gland activity but not the ability of the cells in the body to effectively convert T4 to T3, which is where most of the functional thyroid hormone metabolism takes place.

Thyroid Hormone While it is reasonable to try to correct a low thyroid status in anyone, it would appear especially important to do so in the patient with known cardiac disease. Many individuals have cellular hypothyroidism, and a proper ratio of free T3 to reverse T3 (18 to 21/1) needs to be achieved to have proper thyroid function clinically. As with sex hormone replacement, thyroid administration should be low and slow.

General Protocol for Chronic Degenerative Disease&

General Protocol for Chronic Degenerative Disease&

Primary goals:

1. Minimize new toxins A. No calcium, iron, or copper supplementation B. Address dental toxins/infections a. Root canals (Number one cause of heart attacks) b. Gums c. Cavitations d. Dental implants (usually improperly placed) e. Toxic dental materials (mercury, nickel)

1. Minimize new toxin exposure 2. Eradicate acute and chronic infections 3. Eliminate accumulated toxins 4. Normalize or improve deficient regulatory hormones (estrogen, testosterone, thyroid) 5. Optimize antioxidant and nutrient levels, especially vitamin C 6. Selectively and appropriately utilize prescription medications

1. Minimize new toxins

2. Eradicate infections Most infections significantly lowering antioxidant stores through the body will be found in dental sources. However, for many individuals, chronically infected tonsils will significantly impair or even block the recovery from many different chronic diseases. Usually tonsils that need extracting will be on the same side of the body as an existing or even previously extracted root canal-treated tooth. Generally, once a tonsil has drained a root canal for any significant length of time, it cannot recover even if the root canal is extracted. Rather, it becomes a source of chronic focal infection, seeding pathogens and toxins throughout the body. The protector becomes the infector.

(Issels, 2005, Cancer, A Second Opinion)

C. Dietary/digestive (optimize bowel transit time) Food combining, chewing, liquids, enzymes, low glycemic, minimize meat quantities, minimize dairy (less calcium and poorer digestion) Poor foods digested perfectly produce less toxicity than optimal foods digested poorly.

3. Eliminate old toxins Remember that detoxification is retoxification.

A. Traditional agents (DMSA, DMPS, BAL, EDTA, penicillamine, deferasirox) B. Nutrient agents (alpha lipoic acid, inositol hexaphosphate, any agent supporting and increasing intracellular GSH levels, such as NAC, whey protein, and liposome encapsulated GSH) C. Sweating (far infrared sauna, aerobic exercise); supplement appropriately D. Always protect with adequate antioxidant coverage

4. Correct critical hormone deficiencies Testosterone, estrogen, and thyroid deficiencies affect all the cells of the body. All three play prominent roles in calcium metabolism, in the bone and elsewhere Replacement must be low dose, slow to increase dose, and target lab should be low to mid-range normal, no more, and even a lower target for the person over age 70.

Other critical laboratory tests, such as metabolic syndrome parameters, should be stable or improving during the treatment period. Bioidentical is preferable.

General Protocol for Chronic Degenerative Disease&

General Protocol for Chronic Degenerative Disease&

5. Optimize antioxidant levels A. Vitamin C, regular form as tolerated; liposome-encapsulated, 1 to 2 grams daily; ascorbyl palmitate, 500 to 1,000 mg daily B. Lysine, 1,000 to 2,500 mg daily and proline, 250 to 500 mg daily (2x more for known CAD) C. Vitamin D3: aim for blood level of 60 to 80 ng/cc D. Vitamin K2, 3 to 6 mg daily E. Magnesium glycinate, 200 to 400 mg daily F. Omega-3 EFA, fish oil source, 2,000 to 4,000 mg daily G. Vitamin E as mixed tocopherols, 400 IU twice daily H. Beta carotene, 25,000 to 50,000 IU daily I. Vitamin B complex, one daily

6. Appropriate prescription medications Only really to be utilized when a satisfactory clinical response is not seen with the rest of the protocol. This needs to be considered in the context that vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, EFAs, and properly adjusted hormone levels all individually decrease the chances of death from all causes. The prescription meds typically have side effects and only rarely positively impact longevity, except for such drugs as long-acting calcium channel blockers.

Recap&

Recap& 2. Because of the incredibly large role played by oral infections in virtually all diseases, it is essential that the practicing physician form alliances with the dentists in their area of the country. Some of the most impactful forces on the general health (asymptomatic chronically infected teeth) simply will never be discovered without specific testing. Full mouth 3D digital X-rays should be a routine part of the evaluation of all chronic disease patients, right along with the glucose, electrolyes, CBC, and biochemistry panel.

1. All chronic degenerative diseases are caused or worsened by chronic infections and the increased oxidative stress that they inflict throughout the body.

Many significant diseases, such as coronary artery disease, are primarily caused by dental infections and toxins. Many cancers, especially of the breast, are also directly due to this same source of infection and toxicity.

3. While there are many facets to a successful therapeutic protocol, it cannot be overstated how important it is to effectively diagnose and properly manage the increasingly large epidemic of low-grade hypothyroidism seen today. Many infections, with their enormous resultant toxicity, simply do not take “hold” in the face of normal thyroid status throughout the body (not just inside the thyroid gland).

Introduction

Ascorbate and Cancer Vitamin C:

!! Vitamin C deficiency in Cancer Patients !! 50 pts (28! 22" ) with Advanced cancer

!! at low doses a powerful AO (free radical scavenger)

!! Average age 65.2 yrs

!! at high doses it presents oxidative capabilities.

!! Estimated dietary intake of 40 mg of AA !! 30% AA deficient

< 11 µM

!! 42% AA low

11.1 -23 µM

!! It is possible to give much higher doses of Vitamin C intravenously than it is by mouth, thus achieving very high levels in the bloodstream. !! IV Vitamin C is an extremely safe form of treatment.

!! Low plasma vitamin C significantly associated with low albumin, low PLT, high CRP, shorter survival

!! It is much safer than most drugs made by pharmaceutical companies.

Ascorbate as an anti-tumor agent

Introduction

#! Initial published case reports demonstrated potential benefit from high dose ascorbate treatment. #! Subsequent reports documented the results of 100 patients with terminal cancer, in whom conventional therapy was no longer considered useful and were given intravenous and oral ascorbate.

•! IVC considered by the medical community to be an unconventional treatment •! Has been given in high doses to many thousands of people in many countries over the last forty years.

•! Pharmacological concentrations of ascorbate easily achieved in humans are effective in cancer therapeutics.

#! Patients who received ascorbate survived 300 days longer than controls. A prospective study was then conducted randomizing patients to ascorbate treatment or palliative therapy. #! Treated patients had a median survival of 343 days vs. 180 days for controls.

Predicted plasma Vitamin C concentrations in healthy persons after oral (top) or intravenous (bottom) administration of Vitamin C.

"! To test whether ascorbate was effective, Moertel conducted two randomized placebo controlled studies with oral ascorbate (10 g) and neither study showed any benefit. "! Because Moertel’s studies were taken as definitive, ascorbate treatment was considered useless. "! However Moertel’s results were not comparable to those previous studies because ascorbate was given orally and not intravenously.

Pkin Ascorbate and Cancer

Ascorbate’s Pro-oxidant action !! Chen et al. measured cell death in 10 cancer and 4 normal cell types using 1 hour exposures to ascorbate. !! Normal cells were unaffected by 20 mM ascorbate whereas 5 cancer cell lines had EC50 values of < 4 mM, a concentration achievable by intravenous administration.

"! Consumption of 5-to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, steady-state plasma concentrations are 80 mol/L "! Oral vit C q 3 g 6 times daily peak values do not exceed 220 mol/L. "! Intravenous vit C may produce 1- 15 000 mol/L. "! Greater than 1000 mol/L, vit C is toxic to cancer cells "! Ascorbyl radical may form only when plasma concentrations are greater than 1000 mol/L "! In-vitro, in-vivo, the pharmacokinetic data and the clinical reports and studies all suggest a role of vit C in cancer.

!! H2O2 generation was dependent on ascorbate concentration, incubation time, and displayed a linear relationship with ascorbate radical formation. !! intravenous injection of ascorbate increased baseline concentrations of ascorbate in blood and extracellular fluid to > 8 mM and increased formation H2O2. !! These studies provide a foundation for pursuing pharmacologic ascorbate as a prooxidant agent in cancer therapy.

Intravenous Vitamin C- Safety

IV Vitamin C IV vitamin C plays a role in cancer treatment in the following ways:

$! Vitamin C has no known toxic dosage in patients without preexisting kidney disease.

1.! IV vitamin C can enhance the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

2.! IV vitamin C can reduce the severity of cancer symptoms and the unpleasant side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

3.! IVC use increased quality of life in cancer patients.

4.! IV vitamin C can be used in those people who cannot receive or have chosen to not have conventional cancer treatment.

$! “…194,054 g, or 427 lbs of IV vitamin C” were “administered to 275 patients with no sign of kidney disease, or any other significant side effects over a 16-year period.” ! ! !

Iodine

Iodine

!! Iodine-deficient breast tissue exhibits chemical markers of elevated lipid peroxidation. !! This is an early factor in cancer development. !! Coupled with iodine deficiency-induced increases in circulating estrogen levels, these changes can substantially increase the risk of breast cancer in women with low iodine levels. !! Iodine also helps regulate levels of cortisol and contributes to normal immune function !! Abnormal cortisol levels and deficient immune function are significant contributors to the risks of breast cancer

!! Every cell in the body needs and requires iodine to function optimally. !! Iodine’s main job is to maintain a normal architecture of thyroid, the ovaries, the uterus, breasts, and prostate. !! Deficiency causes cystic formation, nodes and hyperplasia !! In the presence of chemicals and enzymes found in breast tissue, iodine has been shown to exert a powerful antioxidant effect equivalent to vitamin C.

Vitamin D

!! Low levels of vitamin D in the blood are strongly associated with elevated cancer risk. !! Persons with lower levels have an 83 to 150% increased risk of developing cancer. !! Vitamin D receptors, regulate a number of signaling pathways involved in inflammation, tumor growth, and immune system surveillance for cancer— !! Especially in the epithelial cells of the skin, breast, prostate, and colon.

#! Cancer cells, the vitamin D receptor is dramatically decreased, leaving cells unregulated and prone to reproduce in an out-of-control fashion.57 #! Treating cancer cells in culture with vitamin D, however, produces a number of actions that help fight against cancer: it decreases tumor cell proliferation, quells inflammation, reduces invasiveness, and increases tumor cell death (apoptosis).

Physiology behind the Keto diet

Basic:

"! Glucose ! Fat (as the primary fuel source) "! Ketone bodies – the acidic products formed from excessive breakdown of fat. "! Calorie restriction and restricted ketogenic diets which reduce circulating glucose levels and elevate ketone levels, are anti-invasive, anti-angiogenic, and pro-apoptotic towards cancer. "!

Improving IVC Therapy

Improving IVC Therapy Ozone MOA •! Inactivation of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and protozoa: Ozone therapy disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell envelope through oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins.

•! Stimulation of oxygen metabolism: Ozone therapy causes an increase in the red blood cell glycolysis rate.

•! Ozone activates the Krebs cycle by enhancing oxidative carboxylation of pyruvate, stimulating production of ATP.

Increased oxygen HBOT: "! HIF-1 signaling and oxygen pressure, and shows a strong epigenetic signature "! alteration of DNA-methylation and induction of tumorsuppressing microRNAs In cancer cell. "! ROS-induced, HIF-1!- and O2 -dependent cytotoxicity of ascorbate on 60 different cancer cells. "! This suggests that for clinical application, cancer patients should additionally be oxygenized to increase the cytotoxic efficacy of ascorbate.

Activation of the Krebs cycle and increased ATP production

Decreased bacterial/viral load

!! Microbes can produce excess inflammation. !! Since inflammation is known to play a major role in the pathogenesis of cancer, microbial balance can influence tumor progression. !! This can occur by chronic activation of inflammation, alteration of tumor microenvironment !! Induction of genotoxic responses and cytotoxic products that can further damage metabolism. !! This can be dealt with nutritional support of immune system, natural and synthetic antimicrobials, oxidative therapies and detoxification.

“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.”

Hyperthermia May favor augmentation of oxygen, pH and immune cells to the tumor. $! AA and hyperthermic treatment synergistically inhibits cancer cell growth through G2/M arrest and apoptosis induction via H2O2 generation at lower AA concentrations; $! This carcinostatic effect was not exerted by AA alone.
