DENTISTS AND OBs... See the very end of this post.

ASSUMING root canals cause cavitations and cavitations cause
symptoms...

COULD MEGADOSE VIT C HELP RELIEVE SYMPTOMS CAUSED BY ROOT
CANALS/JAWBONE CAVITATIONS (different from cavities)?

Dr. Andrew Saul says:

"I know of no true option to a necessary root canal."
http://www.doctoryourself.com/news/v3n2.txt

When determining whether a root canal is necessary...

Maybe dentists should start talking about jawbone
cavitations?

Susan Stockton, MA says:

"Root canals will unquestionably cause cavitations sooner or
later..."
http://www.healthcarealternatives.net/JBcavitations.htm

JAWBONE CAVITATIONS (different from cavities)...

"Dead and dying teeth should not remain in the jaw, even if
they are causing no acute distress to the patient. If
CAVITAT (tm) scan of the jawbone shows pronounced necrosis
under a 'vital' tooth, please entertain the possibility that
the tooth only appears to be vital, and is, in fact,
dying...For the chronic cavitation patient, extraction may
be both the beginning and end of his or her health problems.
The improperly done extraction (usually of a wisdom tooth)
is frequently the beginning of a problem which may go
undetected for decades, and then only be resolved by the
proper extraction of some, or possibly all, of the remaining
teeth, along with removal of necrotic bone from edentulous
areas [areas where teeth have been extracted] and aggressive
systemic detoxification. Prevention and early detection are
the keys to avoiding this outcome. Improved imaging
capabilities [with the CAVITAT (tm)] give us the tool for
such early intervention.. The first step in solving the
problem, however, is awareness of it. You have taken that
step and are urged to take the next one. Doctors: Learn to
recognize jawbone cavitations and to either treat them
surgically, or refer your patient to a qualified cavitation
surgeon for treatment. Patients: Seek out a dentist familiar
with jawbone pathology: It may be the unsuspected cause of
your systemic problems." --Susan Stockton, MA, author of
Beyond Amalgam
http://www.healthcarealternatives.net/JBcavitations.htm

Susan's advice is obviously RADICAL - but it makes
sense to me.

One definition of the word radical is "arising from or going
to a root or source."

Again quoting Susan on root canals:

"Root canals will unquestionably cause cavitations sooner or
later..."

Megadose Vit C relieved cured relieved periodontal disease?

Laura Lee Radio Show...transcript excerpt...

Also cavitation is a new term you're going to learn tonight
and that is the space left in the jawbone when a tooth is
extracted. If an infected tooth or simply a wisdom tooth
that needs to come out to make space, problems can arise
with dead tissue in the jawbone and you're going to learn
tonight what you can do about these conditions. We have with
us Dr. George Meinig, the author of Root Canal Cover-Up.

Martin: Hello, Laura Lee. Yeah this is kind of a personal
topic for me, about 15 years ago I heard a report from the
University of Texas Medical School at Waco. They had a 6ve-
year study where they demonstrated that 1,000 milligrams of
vitamin C per day would prevent periodontal
disease...[A]fter that I was diagnosed by my dentist...with
pretty serious periodontal disease...I immediately started
taking 15,000 mg per day for the next four months. He x-
rayed my teeth at the end of the third month and he said
"You know something's happening here, the number of pockets
you have and the size of those pockets is rapidly
diminishing" 90 he wanted to re-X-ray just to verify this,
so he did and it showed that some of the smaller pockets had
completely gone away and the larger pockets were reduced by
less than half their previous size only three months
before...And he was amazed and he asked me what I had been
doing, and I said I had simply been taking 15,000 mg of
vitamin C every day - 5,000 with each meal. And other than
that I hadn't changed my diet or done anything else. Does
your guest have any experience using vitamin C for therapy?

Laura Lee: Well, they are looking into nutrition and the
impact it has on health overall. Dr. Meinig...

Ds. Meinig: Well a third of my practice is actually
periodontal disease. You said that I was a specialist in
endodontics but I preferred to do all of dentistry and
about a third of practice was periodontal disease. I
never had any patient do 15,000 mg of vitamin C, I got
many of them on vitamin C, but not that much, and your
discovery is a very interesting one and I'm going to
advise a few people to try that and let's see what
happens with them. I can't say that I've had experience
to that extent with anybody.

DENTISTS AND OBs...

IF root canals cause cavitations/symptoms...

THEN...

Dentists who recommend or perform root canals (most
dentists) are likely not going to agree that root canals are
causing problems...

SIMILARLY...

Obstetricians who close birth canals (most
obstetricians) are not going to agree that closing birth
canals causes problems.

Hence my usual public service announcement...

PREGNANT WOMEN: OBs are knowingly closing birth canals
up to 30%.

For simple PROOF - and instructions on how easy it is for
pregnant women to allow their birth canals to OPEN the
"extra" up to 30%...

See Shoulder Dystocia: OBs *keep* birth canal closed up to
30%! http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-

I copied the following from a NG discussion - possibly from
this NG - about a year or two ago. Seems that 250 mg of
vitamin C per day saturates the body and the rest is
eliminated, according to this research. More research could
be needed though.

Enjoy!

This is true. Linus Pauling was wrong in naively believing
that only when you got diarrhoea was the body getting enough
vitamin C..

This is what Weil is referring to ---

New insights into the physiology and pharmacology of
vitamin C Sebastian J. Padayatty, Mark Levine CMAJ 2001;164(3):353-
5 [PDF]

(Note that the circulating white blood cells are saturated
with ascorbic acid at an intake of just 100 mgm per day.)

Quote--

When given orally, ascorbic acid is well absorbed at lower
doses, but absorption decreases as the dose increases. Thus,
median bioavailability following an oral dose is 87% for 30
mg, 80% for 100 mg, 72% for 200 mg and 63% for 500 mg. Less
than 50% of a 1250-mg dose is absorbed, and most of the
absorbed dose is excreted in the urine. Ascorbic acid is not
protein bound, so it is filtered and reabsorbed by the
kidneys in healthy subjects but is lost in patients who have
been hemodialyzed. Ascorbic acid begins to appear in urine
at doses above 100
mg/day, corresponding to a plasma concentration of about 60
µmol/L, at which point plasma is 70% saturated and
circulating white blood cells are fully saturated.
Decreased bioavailability and renal excretion keep plasma
vitamin C at less than 100 µmol/L, even with an oral dose
of 1000 mg. In men at steady state, a 30-mg daily intake
results in a mean plasma concentration of 9 µmol/L, 60 mg
results in 25 µmol/L, 100 mg in 56 µmol/L and 200 mg in
75 µmol/L. Thus, the dose-concentration relationship is
sigmoidal, with the steep portion of the curve lying
between 30 mg and 100 mg of oral vitamin C daily. Doses
greater than 500 mg daily contribute little to plasma or
tissue stores. Circulating white blood cells contain 10-
30 times the plasma concentrations of vitamin C.

It's dogma based on faulty reasoning - see (doses far above
the quoted 250mg do have effects - but why?)

Anti oxidants 'give electrons' and they reduce oxidative
stress which is a sign of disease. The more 'stress' you
have the more vitamin c will be 'used up' and the less you
will urinate out. Animals have been known to increase they
vitamin c synthesis by 100 fold in times of stress. Anth

Thanks Anth for the inputs. Looks like much more research is
needed in this field.
