Jawbone cavitations are exquisitely described in an eye-
opening book entitled Death and Dentistry written in 1940 by
Martin H. Fischer, medical doctor and professor of
physiology at the University of Cincinnati. Citing the
research of Drs. Frank Billings and E.C. Rosenow (early
1900s), Dr. Fischer speaks of "infarctions induced of
microorganismal emboli" that have broken into the general
circulation from a peripheral focal point in the jaw or
tonsils. This "metastasis" of microorganisms is the cause of
a surprising number of conditions according to Fischer (p.8,
9): "Embolic infection that has struck the heart valves will
be endocarditis; the heart muscle, myocarditis; the
pericardium, pericarditis; if all are struck, it is
pancarditis. Involving the skeletal muscles, the same
pathological background will give rise to myositis; when
their tendinous junctions are struck, fibrositis; and when
the synovial bursae are affected, bursitis or tenosynovitis.
The process in the joints is arthritis; and in the nerves
and nerve ganglia, neuritis. In the brain, this is
cerebritis, and in its coverings, meningitis."
Although infection in the oral cavity may be a triggering
event in the formation of a cavitation, biopsy of the site
typically shows few, if any, bacteria. It is the toxins
produced by these anaerobic bacteria that are most damaging
to the body. However, until local defenses break down and
these toxins gain systemic access, the problem remains
localized and most likely silent. Symptoms develop when the
body burden of toxins increases to the point that
nutritional reserves are depleted, and the system is no
longer able to confine the toxins to their point of origin.
They then travel via blood and lymph channels and through
nerve pathways to other areas of the body.
Toxins create an extremely acidic environment. As long as
the body's alkaline reserves (primarily calcium and sodium)
remain intact, pH is kept within acceptable limits,
homeostasis remains intact, and the body functions normally.
Once alkaline reserves are depleted however, balance is
disrupted. It is not only acid-forming foods (like grains
and meat) so prevalent in the standard American diet, that
deplete the alkaline reserves, but also the bacterial toxins
generated at the site of jawbone cavitations. These toxins
create an acid environment and destroy critical enzyme
systems in the body, including enzymes essential for energy
production. The inactivated enzymes are then unable to
fulfill their function as mineral chaperones. The net result
is that key minerals, even though present in the system,
become bio-unavailable, for the enzymes needed to activate
them have been destroyed by bacterial toxins. It is
important to understand that such a mineral "deficiency" is
unrelated to mineral intake. It can exist in the face of
ample intake, though insufficient intake certainly compounds
the problem. The toxins responsible for mineral deactivation
and breakdown of homeostasis are carried throughout the
system via blood and lymph vessels, tending to settle in
areas of inherent or acquired weakness. This means that my
jawbone cavitations may result in an entirely different
symptom picture than yours, simply because my weaknesses are
different than yours.
