- Let’s B Hypothetical! Would you prefer to go over a bridge that is twice as strong? Would you prefer to use an axle or a wheel on your car that is 2X stronger? If you had a heart stint would you prefer one that lasted 2X longer?
- Then why have you let your dentist convince you put a “tooth colored filling” that has to span the distance between two teeth- in what is called a class two or three interproximal filling? Those “cosmetic fillings” have less than half the wear resistance and more than 3X less tensile strength. YEP for the sake of getting rid of amalgam fillings you have been compromised.
This is what the folks that govern the Dallas city council want–yet they know nothing about dentistry, nor engineering, nor the legal raminifications of making promises they cannot keep (as with the recent lawsuit that will force them to loose millions of our dollars- in the Reverchon park fiasco). They do not understand that Amalgam traps in every dental unit removes all amalgam from the waste water- so no contamination occurs. The average lifespan of a large tooth-colored fillings can be 3 to 5 times less than an amalgam. This depends on the size and location and whether you are male or female, large or small jawed. A large jawed male can easily put 2-3 times the pressure on a tooth than a petite woman. It seems as if no one takes this into consideration when they create these unwise intitiatives. I chew hard and do not want a bunch of expensive, gum irritating crowns in my mouth and so have kept my metal fillings in since I was a kid. When I break a tooth I want another amalgam not a weak cosmetic filling nor a crown that will require the cutting away of the entire surface of a tooth leaving a margin that will collect food and bacteria 360 degrees right at the gum-line! This can easily cause inflammation and maybe periodontal disease.
The Good Book warns us: They will turn their ears away from the Truth and turn aside to myths”…and might I suggest what is implied – to Lies.
There are 3 MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH OUR SYSTEM OF HEALTHCARE and they all involve subtle persistant lying:
1) Iatrogenic disease or conditions: those are diseases or condtions created or generated by doctors. YES a huge amount of problems are created by the doctor that you may be going to. In dentistry a POORLY DONE CROWN WILL DO YOU MUCH MORE HARM THAN using conservative restorations. There was a dentist who went around the country teaching dentists to do super-fast crowns- in order to make money faster! Quality and deeeeep care should be #1
2) Manufactured Disease is a Big Problem in the Profit Motive American Medical-Pharmaceutical Complex. Over 500 drugs and medications cause Dry Mouth ….which leads to Periodontal disease- Which leads to organ failure or weakness incuding Diabetes, Heart disease, dementia, pancreatitis, and other very serious problems.
3) The insertion of HFCS into every form of processed food generates AGE’s which can do permanent damage to the Liver, eyes, kidneys, brain and other organs as High Fructose Corn Syrup is coverted to Accummated Glycation End-Products. These are further discussed in the book Dentistry Xposed: Protecting You, Your Smile, and Your Wallet
Dr. Hofmann saw a 50 yr. old male patient today with multiple dental amalgam fillings. Most dentists in Dallas would suggest that he remove those ugly fillings and replace them with tooth colored composites. That would be a big disservice to that patient and could easily compromise both the teeth and the entire bite (causing a collapse of the bite over time- leading to failure in other areas including potential tooth loss). As the composite bowls out (as explained with a diagram in my new book Dentistry Xposed) it weakens the support for each cusp allowing them to be broken off during chewing or during any extrinsic movement. So ask yourself, “do you think for one second that that dentist who is making a lot of money off this cosmetic yet weaker replacement will warn you of this?” This is one of a thousand reasons why Dr. Hofmann titled the book “Dentistry Xposed”.
NOTE 2
Recent research shows that amalgam restorations last longer than was previously thought [Figures [Figures11–-3].3]. The older generation of low-copper amalgams (before 1963) did have a limited life span, but several clinical studies have demonstrated that high-copper amalgams can provide satisfactory performance for more than 12 years. Note 1 surface amalgams can easily last a lifetime whereas posterior composites will have to replaced multiple times. This appears to be true even for large restorations that replace cusps. the number of cusps involved in the restoration) had no influence on the survival rate, which is in accordance with the results of a retrospective study by Robbins and Summitt, who found a 50% survival rate of 11.5 years. Amalgam has served the dental profession for more than 150 years. Incidents of true allergy to mercury have been rare (only 41 cases have been reported since 1905)
NOTE: 3
One group that is in most need of the following information are doctors and other healthcare professionals. But it is often up to patients to challenge them. At the end you will see why it is also very important for men to hear this. Here is the message:
There are many attributes that characterize healthy food substances. Obviously the more natural the better and the less acidic the better. Our mouth has the structure and chemistry to measure the value of these molecules. Those that cause inflammation and decay in the mouth will tend to cause problems for the rest of the body. Those that feed bad bacteria or yeast in the mouth will feed bad bacteria and yeast in the gut. Those that generate a healthy saliva, or a non-acidic saliva will tend to benefit the gut and the colon.
NOTE 4
Another less talked about good attribute is symmetry in the structure of a molecule. Our bodies are naturally symmetrical from left to right with a head and heart in the center and likewise the molecule of xylitol is perfectly symmetrical left to right. This allows its tridentate ligand to carry calcium to both teeth and bone. This is unlike stevia which is not symmetrical yet has the same number of carbon atoms. Xylitol is produced by our own cells and is then stored in the mitochondria. Could it be that xylitol is helping both the mitochondrial DNA and RNA to repair itself and to produce important building blocks for our body? Because it is produced by our body, I call it “super-natural.”
Stevia has no positive healing ability and may cause hormonal and intestinal problems. It is also much sweeter than xylitol and some studies suggest that it can both harm the kidney and affect blood pressure. Unlike xylitol you cannot cook with it and the FDA will not allow it in processed foods. Xylitol is natural in strawberries, raspberries, plums, cauliflower, mushrooms and in the corn cob. Xylitol’s by-products help to protect the colon and when absorbed in the blood stream it protects both the host body and the fetus of a pregnant woman. Yet stevia is promoted and sold in the big box grocery stores whereas xylitol is not. In World War II Finland’s entire population could not get sugar so they extracted xylitol from birch trees and made xylitol mints which they gave to their 5-16 year-olds as an after meal desert in the schools. They were amazed when 20 years later none of these grown up kids had tooth decay. And after 61 more years of research they have found that it protects the nasopharyngeal pathways including the middle ear from infections. It even innoculates the fetus of the mother who takes it. The baby is then protected up to the age of five!
Why are we not being told about this? Is it because our Big Pharma can’t make money from it? Is it because the sugar cartel is afraid of losing money? They are the ones who tried to blame good natural fat for our heart disease when all along it was sugar and in a much worse way High Fructose Corn Syrup! YES, all of Europe ignored our bad research and kept the natural fats and did not put the HFCS in foods. Our top endocrinologist, Dr. Lutsig (who teaches medical students) calls the High Fructose Corn Syrup, a POISON! Note also that we sell a lot of unnatural sugar substitutes that are non-nutritive and were accidentally discovered by a chemist trying to either find a substitute for DDT or other chemical.
Xylitol’s molecular symmetry apparently also gives it the ability to draw fluids in a hypertonic or hydroscopic way, thus helping to heal tissue linings in the body by washing away toxins, salts and bacteria. This includes stopping constipation in the colon, helping to heal the airway lining of some cystic fibrosis patients, healing the inflamed lining of the middle ear and nasopharyngeal passage, washing away toxins, bad bacteria and acidity in the mouth- thus preventing both tooth decay and gum inflammation.
