40% to 5%.
Dr. Issels asserted that "chronically inflamed tonsils are primary head foci which sometimes have an even more damaging effect on the organism as a whole than dental foci," noting that the tonsils are "excretion organs by which the lymphocytes, microbes, toxin-laden lymph, and other matter are discharged."
Most significantly, Issels found that in every tonsillectomy performed, biopsy specimens revealed that "severe or very severe destructive tonsillar processes" were present along with chronic infection. This was in spite of the fact that the tonsils did not appear enlarged, inflamed, or infected on examination, which is the major reason they never get noticed or treated. Even though the chronic drainage of infected jawbone lymph results in the tonsils becoming chronically infected, it does not result in them becoming swollen, as is routinely seen with lymph nodes that are in the drainage pathway. This needs to be differentiated completely from acute or recurrent tonsillitis, with clear inflammation and often massive swelling, as often occurs in children.
The lymphatic flow into the tonsils is directly connected to the lymphatic drainage of the jawbone that anchors the infected teeth and gums discussed above. Issels noted that Indian ink injected into a sealed dental cavity results in the appearance of inky spots on the tonsillar surface in only 20 to 30 minutes, further establishing this connection.
The tonsils are designed to support the immune system in dealing with short-term and minimal pathogen challenges presented to the oral cavity. However, when the tonsil is continuously draining a chronic jawbone infection in the form of a root canal or other abscessed tooth, it is overwhelmed to the point that it goes from protecting against infection to becoming a major focal point of chronic infection itself.
In any patient who had infected teeth properly extracted, it must be assumed that the tonsils have already become major focal infections as well. This is especially the case when C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are elevated and remain so after the infected teeth have been properly removed. The complete elimination of oral cavity infections remains in question as long as the CRP remains elevated. [260]
Breast Cancer Treatment
Based on all the information and research data presented above, it is essential to have as complete a diagnosis of the oral cavity as possible. This requires having a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT or 3D X-ray) properly performed and expertly interpreted. [261] This is the best way to keep from missing a minimally abscessed tooth that it easily missed on regular dental X-rays. Leaving even one infected tooth unextracted can prevent much of the benefit of removing multiple other infected teeth and root canals. A comprehensive protocol for optimizing the benefits of the removal of infected teeth is addressed in detail elsewhere. This includes a recommended and detailed surgical protocol for the dentist performing the extractions. [260] Optimal healing is also strongly supported by a dentist experienced in the proper application of ozone to prevent infection and accelerate quality healing.
Uninformed Consent
While it is the purported standard of care to make sure the patient is completely aware of the nature of a proposed procedure and its potential complications, an informed consent does not currently exist for the root canal procedure. Root canal dentists are simply unwilling or unable to give the patient even a tiny fraction of the information cited in this article that documents that all root canal-treated teeth are chronically infected and remain that way until they are properly extracted.
The current root canal procedure should be limited to patients who are fully informed of the health risks but simply do not want an extraction for any reason at all. In that patient subset, having an expertly-performed root canal that debulks the amount of infection in the targeted tooth can offer benefits. Most patients will opt for protecting their health rather than keeping the tooth.
Also, no patient should be denied the option of infected tooth extraction at the outset, as recurrent abscess formation in root canals often occurs, and the patient then ends up receiving "redo" root canal procedures to debulk the new abscess, all the while spending more money, having their body subjected to a longer period of pathogen and toxin exposure, and experiencing more discomfort in the dental chair.
The devastating impact on the health of the body by keeping infected teeth in the mouth cannot be overstated. Breast cancer is one of many chronic diseases caused and supported by oral cavity infections. Heart attacks are almost entirely due to oral pathogens metastasizing into and colonizing the coronary artery walls. [262]
Recap
Breast cancer starts when infected lymph from infected teeth, gums, and tonsils drains into the breast to a degree that the lymph nodes and the immune system can no longer compensate against the chronic pathogen/toxin exposure. Pathogens are present in breast cancer cells and their surrounding extracellular environment. This is a cause-and-effect between the pathogen presence and the development of the cancer. It must never be dismissed as an unclear association, relationship, correlation, connection, link, or any other term that attempts to avoid concluding the fact that infected teeth cause cancer and chronic disease, both in the breasts and elsewhere in the body.
Breast cancer needs a comprehensive treatment protocol to achieve the best results, which often results in the disappearance of the cancer without surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. As Dr. Issels asserted many years ago:
"Cancer is a general disease of the whole body from the outset. The tumour is a symptom of that illness."
A healthy body does not "catch" cancer. Cancer only appears when a particular tissue area served by a chronically inflamed circulation receives the greatest and most unrelenting toxin exposure, which always comes from pathogen colonizations.
