so there's this hidden source of heart attacks that rarely does anyone know about and this is a book by Thomas Levy MD and so I'll put the link down below but it was actually quite fascinating because I have personal experience with what I'm going to talk about let me first jump to the Smoking Gun okay I'm going to tell you what he States in his book in 78% of 101 patients with myocardial infarction that's heart attacks and uded coronary arteries they found DNA of pathogens typical for infections in root canal treated teeth now this is
pretty wild I've talked about this briefly in another video but the big question is what are these pathogenic bofilm microorganisms doing in your heart how do they get there and what's the relationship to your teeth now they also found these microbes also in the clots in certain stroke victims too just a quick story I went to the dentist uh a while ago and um they're just doing a routine checkup and he had this really cool so I think it was called a 3D cone beam Imaging system where they basically can scan all the roots of
the teeth and look uh deep inside for potential citations or like infections underneath the teeth now I was also an X-ray tech before I was a chiropractor so I was interested in to see what was going on and so when I was looking at my teeth I noticed there was this like huge dark little circle around one of my tooth roots of course he looked at it he said yeah you have a you have an infection going on in your tooth now I had no symptoms whatsoever so basically this infection which is an absis underneath
a tooth was eating away my bone and So based on this book it's The Chronic long-term infection that that can become a problem for people not just for heart problems but for arthritis and many other issues apparently it's quite common if you look up uh the condition's name it's called chronic apical periodontitis that many times doesn't have any symptoms so basically as you're chewing in things you're pushing this bacteria deeper into the lymphatic system in your jaw and uh throughout the body and Dr Levy uh points out some really interesting data there's basically between 15
and 25 million people a year that get root canals okay and uh his theory is that the root canal is where the problem is because when they do a root canal they go in there they take out some of the pulp and they try to sterilize it and then they seal it the problem is they also at the same time take out a lot of the tubul you have like one or two miles of these small little tubes and so as you scrape away this you take away the immune system as well so here we
have this potential for pathogens to create problems because it's nearly impossible to get rid of all the pathogens when they do this procedure and so there's a high incidence of people with dental abscesses and chronic inflammation of uh the root of the tooth or the gums and people who have heart attacks which is actually very very interesting and many times this is missed on routine dental X-rays one way that some people might pick it up is through a blood test looking at the C reactive protein which is just like a biomarker of inflammation this infection
could be in the tooth it could be in the gums it could be deeper into the jaw and it can even be in the tonsils it's The Chronic exposure to these pathogens that create the problem especially if your immune system is not strong enough to counter it because these pathogens are creating a lot of what's called oxidative stress okay now oxidative stress is basically a situation where you have a lot of free radical damage but we don't have enough antioxidant Reserve to counter that situation I mean think about how dirty the mouth is you have
over 500 different strains of bacteria viruses in fungus growing in your mouth and then you also have this byproduct of the microb which is toxins that can then create more immune reaction more inflammation in different parts of your body Apparently one of the ways the body reacts to this situation is by developing clots and so over time when this becomes more chronic a person's going to generally feel fatigue chronic inflammation jaw problems and sensitivity of the teeth in my situation I did notice when he removed the tooth I immediately noticed my inflammation in my upper
back and neck just kind of disappeared so that was fascinating but if I didn't get that x-ray and see that cavitation I never would have guessed that would be the cause but basically we're dealing with a leaky bacterial overload situation that kind of causes a compromise to your immune system but let's just say for example someone has this infection right and they feel a little tired but they don't really know if it's coming from this area or not you feel like your immune system is compromised and you are wondering if you have this oxidative stress
overload situation uh what you could do is just take uh one or two grams of liposomal vitamin C it's not the vitamin C complex to fulfill a vitamin C deficiency we're primarily using it as an antioxidant to lower the oxidative stress and what's unique about this specific type of vitamin C is that it's one of the only ones that can go intracellular I'd recommend taking maybe 500 mg sever several times a day and this is because vitamin C is water cable so we just want to keep it flowing through your body and the last point
about this type of vitamin C is that it won't create diarrhea when you're taking large amounts like other types of ascorbic acid but that would at least change the ratio of this antioxidant to oxidative stress level to see if that might help you and if you does and you feel a little bit better and you feel like your symptoms might improve then you can start to dive deeper into why you might have this problem is it related to diet is it related to not sleeping is it related to OV exercising is it related to a
potential tooth infection but this is just a short overview of this topic I would highly recommend getting this book it's filled with a lot more data it's actually quite fascinating so I'll put the link down below and also if you haven't seen my other video on atherosclerosis and this bofilm mechanism I put that video up right here check it out
