Help for a Newbie?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm Raine, and I'm new. Sorry to start off wanting to pick your brains

without a proper intro, but I'm desperate!

 

I've had an interesting week. It started with an ear infection thanks to

a root canal gone bad. I treated it with several things; garlic/mullein

oil in the ear, my trusty zapper, swishing with CS, oregano oil on the

tooth/surrounding area, and orally. This routine wiped it out quickly,

but over the next few days I felt like I had been hit by a train- muscle

weakness, complete exhaustion, and all-over body pain. I was actually

wondering if the Oregano oil wasn't causing Candida die-off. But then I

woke up yesterday and my right breast was hard and hurt like all get

out. I've had fibrocystic breasts for years, so I chalked it up to an

unusual flare-up. Today it's much worse. The pain is absolutely

excruciating, and my breast is so swollen it's ridiculous. I've been

treating it with rosemary oil applied topically, DMSO topically

(separate from the rosemary), heating pad, hot/cold hydrotherapy, and

the zapper (for lack of knowing what else to do). In reading tonight it

seems very much like what I have is mastitis (breast infection).

Tomorrow I plan to get Echinacea tincture, calendula cream, and cabbage

for poultices. In the meantime it's pure hell- I can't lay down on my

back or sides because the pull from gravity causes too much pain. Even

the motion from walking brings me to tears.

 

Is there anything else I can do to a) end this miserable pain as quickly

as possible, and b) eliminate the infection so it doesn't progress to an

abscess which I guess can happen?

 

Thanks,

Raine

You poor thing.

But please be assured that the ear infection can not come from a root

canal....there is no connection between the two.

the Heating Pad made it worse! Stop putting heat on it.

Heat will increase the infection. You need an antibiotic for this.

I know too late to tell you that. You have a serious infection.

Hi Raine

 

First of all, generally speaking, ears and teeth are closely related,

and your ear can hurt because of toothache (even if it is not really

an infection).

 

As for your mastitis, it is no time now for home remedies. There are

advantages in modern medicine, and you should immediately go to a

doctor. (I don't want to say what can happen because of an untreated

mastitis, especially if you have fibrocystic breasts).

 

As for the soreness you feel, it is because your body is fighting a

big infection.

 

Wish you all the best

Hi Barbara,

 

Thank you for your kind words.

I fail to see how a root canaled tooth, constantly pumping toxic

bacteria into the bloodstream, cannot be related to a recurring ear

infection on the same side? Root canals are known to cause all sorts of

disasters in the body. I cannot wait to have the thing yanked!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the cabbage poultices are working

wonders for the pain. I am taking antibiotics; Colloidal Silver, Oregano

Oil, Echinacea, electricity via my zapper...

With as well as I'm feeling today, I expect this to be gone within the

next day or two.

 

Thanks,

Raine

Raine,

 

To help relieve some of the fullness and pain. Stand in a very warm(hot)

shower. Message you breast and let the water stream over the effected breast.

As Bella stated, you'll need an antibiotic.

Usually the baby won't nurse on that best. So you'll have to express your milk.

 

I had breast infections with my 3 babies. With the last one, I also had a

breast abscess. It was terrible. With all the infections, I felt horrible and

had a high fever. Rest as much as you can. Following one of the breast

infections(within 2 weeks)I had a bilateral kidney infection. Which my doc

attributed directly to the breast infection.

 

Good luck and seek help quickly.

My Husband is a dentist and I read him your lette. Those were the

statements he made and I passed them on for him. A tooth that needs

root canal work does not pump toxic bacteria into the bloodstream, it

means the tooth is dying. You did not say you had an abcessed tooth as

well.

[Guest guest]

I had all kinds of dental problems including 5 root canals and 3 crowns,

until about ten years ago when I quit using toothpaste, and began using a

paste made of baking soda, salt and tea tree oil. Prior to that time, my

teeth would crack and become infected. I could tell the dentist when and

where an infection was starting up, but until he could see it on an X-ray he

wouldn’t believe me. By that time I’d have been suffering for months. And

yes, an infected tooth can cause all kinds of other problems. Since I’ve

been making my own toothpaste, I have had zero cavities, my gum pockets have

reduced by 50% which my dentist told me was impossible, and I never have

bleeding or sore gums, or sore throats. I had a filling fall out three

years ago and I’ve never even seen a dentist about it because no decay has

ever entered the cavity. No offense to the lady and her husband, but I take

dentists with a grain of sea salt.

Hi Barbara,

 

No, I _had_ a root canal done on this tooth many years ago. Almost

immediately I began having problems that I had never experienced before;

ear infections, swollen lymph nodes, throat pain, what have you. It's

been an endless reminder that something is NOT right in my body and I

know that it is from this tooth.

 

I know (now) that no matter what is done, the root is still connected to

the bloodstream. It is a breeding ground for bacteria. I know because I

have watched my health decline since I had the root canal done, and I

completely trust that once the tooth is pulled, many/most of these

issues will disappear.

 

(I'm realizing that I may be too " extreme " in my alternative views for

this group. If so, I definitely apologize.)

I hate to tell you this but that is what a root canal is...it removes

the root of the tooth. There is no ...or should I say there should

not be any root left in the tooth once root canal is done...if there

is it was not done properly. So no the root is not there connected

to the bloodstream. Having the tooth pulled if the root canal was

done properly will not solve any of your health issues. I just want

to give you more information to ponder on, so here are a few things

that you could look at before pulling a tooth that may be perfectly

alright.

 

Was a recent xray taken to ensure that there is not 1/2 a drill still

in the tooth...yes my husband has seen those cases, he has also seen

cases where the tooth was drilled right through the side wall (a root

does not grow that way). Also the xray may show that the tooth has

been pulled away from gum leaving an opening for food to slither

into. Was the right tooth done at the time of the root canal. Is

there an abscess on the tooth or the one next to it...this is

important if you are pulling the wrong tooth. You should be able to

see your xray and have the dentist show you if anything is wrong,

never take their word for it, see for yourself. My DH always shows

the xray to the patient so they understand.

 

Another thing that I find for myself is that I get allergic reactions

to some of the anestetic...and some of the compounds used...

forinstance,I can only have a certain gold in my teeth because I

found I am allergic to the rest if they are in my mouth (do not react

if it is on my skin).

 

All this is just so you have knowledge so you can make the right

choice for your situation. I find if I do not mention some of these

things they are easily over looked and when the deed is down, there

is still no relief.

My husband always says it is much easier to save a tooth then to have

to get dentures that never fit right. I hope your misery ends soon.

That is alright Dave no offence taken.

My Husband practices a very different kind of dentistry from the

norm. And he would have believed you and treated it as quickly as

possible. He does not believe in people suffering just because the

other person can not see it.

 

Barbara

[Guest guest]

I'm with you on the no toothpaste, Dave. We quit fluoride years ago, and

glycerine more recently. We only use baking soda/sea salt, or organic

bar soap to brush. (I also use oregano oil/water for brushing, and rinse

with Colloidal Silver or H2o2.) I cannot believe how clean my teeth

feel- and no gum infections. I also take 4000 mg Vit C daily, and my

teeth have strengthened in their sockets, no problem (where before I had

weak, wiggly teeth).

 

Sure wish I'd known this before...

Actually, the root of the tooth is still intact - it is the nerve of the

tooth that has

been removed

Re: Help for a Newbie?

 

Let me tell you that I am suffering with a root canal done wrong.The dentist

put a crown on

it already and it has a live nerve inside still!

It is hyper sensitive to cold and hot and there is no way I can eat on that

side of my mouth.My gums are also slightly infected.

Now a " specialist " has to drill through my expensive crown and try to find

out what he can do to repair it. " Not fun " Very Painful situation " !I would not

wish it

on anyone!!

Yep Colleen, there are many dentists now that do not do a good job

and they charge way too much for what they do. I am thankfull that

my husband does the best that he can do and he charges reasonable

rates. If he sees something that may go wrong... by that I mean an

impacked wisdom tooth, a child that weights too little to give

anestetic to etc. he refers them to the best specialist he can. He

is a rare breed among dentists and I know it. All the other dentists

in town are slow at certain times of the year, but not my husband he

has a reputation and people are booked in at least 4 months in

advance. All that said I find it sad that todays dentists and

doctors or that matter, are only interested int he all might dollar.

The practitioner that truly cares for his patient seems to have gone

by the wayside. If your dentist was honest he would have taken an

xray of your tooth after the root cannal to make sure he got all the

nerve...but then he should have put a temp on it to make sure he got

the whole root ... which he should have seen he did not get it all in

the first place...blind dentists without scrupples doing dentistry.

 

But to all the rest out there on the list, I hope by discussing these

things it will give you a more informed course of action should you

find yourself in a similar situation.

 

Oh just a after thought....those nasty needles you get to get

frozen. Did you know that if you tell the dentist he is hurting you

with the needle that they should move the needle into a different

possition and you will have no pain with the needle....they are too

close to the nerve or hit the nerve and that is why you have pain.

Simple little thinkg like that that they never tell you...geesh.

 

Barbara

[Guest guest]

You hit a nerve with me there LOL! For years the most awful part for me was

getting the needle jammed into my gum. Just excruciating! Then a dentist

told me that my nerve is unusually close to the surface back there, and he’d

been sticking the needle right into the nerve. He started giving me a

shallow injection and waiting a few minutes, then going back for the read

deadening. No more pain, after a lifetime of being told to quit being a

baby LOL!

And you are correct in tha the nerve is removed but it is the nerve

that is connected to the bloodstreem not the tooth.
