Dr. Prices conducted extensive blood tests on patients and animals to determine the side effects of root canal infections. Results showed that Lymphocytes increased by 58%, Polymorphonuclear leukocytes reduced by 33%, Hemoglobin levels fluctuated little, sugar levels were elevated, ionic calcium levels were lower, Uric acid and nitrogen retention were increased, acidosis resulted from a decrease in alkaline reserves, and patients with pus-filled pyorrhea pockets lost a lot of weight.
This study found that it was the bacteria's toxins, not the bacteria themselves, that caused the animals' weight loss and death. All rabbits who received inoculations of infected material or had infected teeth implanted under their skin lost weight, and patients with rheumatic disease were prone to tissue withering. Dr. Price observed that emaciation may range from 10% to 25%, and in severe cases, it may range from 35% to 40%.
Dr. Prices assumed that dentists would be aware of any changes in a patient's blood when a dental infection was present, but found no reports on the subject in scientific literature. This prompted him to conduct extensive blood tests on patients and animals in order to determine the side effects of root canal infections.
Thousands of patient and animal blood tests Infected by root-filled teeth?
- Lymphocytes (white blood cells) increased by 58% in humans and 58% in rabbits.
- Polymorphonuclear leukocytes, a type of white blood cell, were reduced by 33% in humans and animals.
- Hemoglobin levels fluctuated very little, either up or down.
- Hemophilia, or a proclivity to bleed, was common in rabbits.
- Sugar levels in the blood were found to be elevated.
- Although some rabbits had higher levels of ionic calcium, calcium levels were lower in the majority of rabbits.
- leading to 15 to 20 distinct pathologic conditions.
- Uric acid and nitrogen retention were increased.
- Acidosis resulted from a decrease in alkaline reserves.
- Some patients, as well as all animals, lost weight. Patients suffering from rheumatic disease frequently experienced tissue withering.
Patients with pus-filled pyorrhea pockets lost a lot of weight, as did animals given diluted solutions of crushed pyorrhetic teeth that had all the bacteria filtered out. This clearly demonstrated that it was the bacteria's toxins, not the bacteria themselves, that caused the animals' weight loss and death.
If you think this was an isolated incident, consider that this study involved 667 rabbit inoculations. Bacteria were found to be absent in 667 successive rabbit inoculations, some with cultures, some with culture filtrates, and many with filtered washings from crushed teeth. Of these, 33 1/3 percent suffered losses ranging from 10% to 30%, while 3.6 percent suffered losses ranging from 30% to 50%.
Because all of the rabbits were fed the same diet throughout the tests, any changes in blood and weight, whether positive or negative, must be regarded as diagnostic symptoms of the presence of dental infections, caused by bacteria or their toxins.
All rabbits who received inoculations of infected material or had infected teeth implanted under their skin lost weight. The greater the severity of the infection, the greater the weight loss.
Dr. Price observed that patients with rheumatic disease were prone to tissue withering. In normal cases, emaciation may range from 10% to 25%, and in severe cases, it may range from 35% to 40%. He reported that one woman patient who weighed 130 pounds had dropped to 72 pounds. Her weight quickly increased from 72 pounds to 111 pounds following the removal of her dental infections. A rabbit was inoculated with a culture taken from one of her infected teeth. This rabbit's weight dropped from 1381 to 1105 grams in four days (20 percent).
