Did you ever think that the root cause of your chronic illness is dental. Root canal infection, mercury fillings, or wisdom tooth cavitations? Contact me for more information

Wellness Wednesday - If a tooth is an organ, why do we kill them and leave them attached to living bone?

An “Organ” is defined as “a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function”. Teeth therefore qualify as an organ. Although teeth are not essential for life (we do have patients who wear dentures!), they are essential for optimal systemic health, particularly gastrointestinal health. But at what point does “saving a tooth” (usually with a root canal) become a dangerous proposition for your systemic health?

Ask any physician if there is any organ in the body they would leave inside a person if the organ died. The pancreas? The appendix? A kidney? Of course this is ridiculous! Any organ in the body (except teeth!) are removed immediately if they are dead or severely infected and abscessed. Teeth somehow are the exception.

It is true that root canal therapy can be performed comfortably and tooth pain symptoms can abate. But science has shown going back more than 100 years that all dead teeth are filled with microbes. (See the works of Dr. Weston A. Price and Boyd Haley, Ph.D. for a start. Also read “Root Canal Cover-Up”!) If you choose to have a root canal, you deserve to understand ALL of the risks associated with this procedure. Considering the successful health recoveries I have personally observed by removing root canal-treated teeth from people who were suffering from “unexplained diseases”, tooth extraction deserves equal attention when considering options for a dead or infected tooth.

If you are suffering from diseases for which you cannot find a cause, remember to consider the mouth as a source of toxicity. Our team would be happy to help you!

How Acupuncture Can Help Those with Hypothyroidism

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or acupoints. These points are located on pathways, known as meridians, that connect the surface of the body to internal organs and systems. By stimulating these points, acupuncture is able to balance the flow of energy, or Qi, throughout the body. This helps to regulate the function of organs and systems, including the thyroid gland.

In the case of hypothyroidism, acupuncture can help to:

Regulate the thyroid gland and increase thyroid hormone production
Improve blood circulation to the thyroid gland
Balance hormones and reduce stress
Improve the function of other organs and systems that may be related to hypothyroidism
Specific Acupuncture Points Used in Hypothyroidism Treatment
There are several acupuncture points that are commonly used to treat hypothyroidism.

Combining Acupuncture with Other Therapies
Acupuncture can be combined with other therapies to enhance its effectiveness in treating hypothyroidism. These may include:

Herbal medicine: specific herbs known to regulate the thyroid gland and balance hormones can be prescribed in conjunction with acupuncture.
Diet and lifestyle changes: a healthy diet and regular exercise can help improve overall health and may help regulate the thyroid gland.
Other complementary therapies such as chiropractic and functional medicine can help tone done the autoimmune responses

Conclusion

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment option for those with hypothyroidism. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture is able to regulate the thyroid gland, balance hormones, and improve overall health. When combined with other therapies such as herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle changes and other complementary therapies, the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment can be enhanced. If you're looking for a natural and holistic approach to treating hypothyroidism, consider visiting a licensed acupuncturist for a consultation.
