an insertion of natural things such as like this on the vitamin c as a cardiologist he has a book out it's called stop america's number one killer and its focus is the heart and what vitamin can see to do can do to reverse elements of the heart so dr tom what started you off on writing a book about about vitamin c and how it affects the heart as time went on it became apparent to me that it's inflammation in the arteries that starts the atherosclerosis or arterial now in process but the big question then was what causes inflammation and that's seemed to be where regular cardiology stopped they just sort of accepted that some people for some reason get inflammation in their corner arteries and now we need to do everything we can to stop it a reverse it or treat it well as it turned out i ran across some other literature and then in my own work and in my own literature research it became very apparent in the research is reviewed and stop america's number one killer that all coronary heart disease all atherosclerosis begins when you have a severe vitamin c deficiency in the arterial w atherosclerosis is focal arterial scurvy and you don't develop you can't develop narrowings in your arteries unless there's a severe deficiency of vitamin c in those arteries to begin with well then this big the huge question the huge question is why should somebody develop a severe vitamin c deficiency in their or terria walls well something else mainstream cardiology has noted but not gone into depth on is the large number of coronary artery patients who have identifiable microorganisms and pathogens in their c arteries well for goodness sakes where did that come from why why did the arteries of the heart suddenly get a colonization of pathogens a bacteria when we come around full circle to dental toxicity ok and in point of fact when you look at what i think the evidence is going to show and we already have a lot of evidence this in a new book coming out the toxic to that is that the root canal treated to is the single greatest cause or seed or of pathogens in toxins into the blood when they take out the nerve in the blood supply and the pope and the connective tissue they just have basically an into mz tooth it's not clinically speaking that are alive anymore but it's still connected to very live blood vessels in the paddock drainage right at the apex of the tooth and you could not design a better around the clock delivery system for toxins and pathogens in the root canal treated tooth typically in one of your motors and every time you chew on it which as you as a dentist know you can generate some of the highest pressures imaginable with two teeth clamp and together what happens well the obvious happens you squeeze those toxins and those pathogens into the venous blood supply and the lymphatics now next question where does it go that's not directly connected to the heart no it's not but remember that the blood in the veins is a very low pressure system so microorganisms don't colonise blood vessel walls when there's only a low pressure present they just watch on through so they get into the vein was shown through get to the right atrium contracts and they go out what is the single first major artery that has these pathogens and toxins and a very high pressure to impregnate them into the arterial wall the coronary artery and that's why they get seated there and that's why most people that start this process of coronary artery disease they get a stent they get a bypass they get more stance the reason they never stop evolving is because they never make the connection with the when you when you we have this compression as we chew as we masticate as we breathe even as we grind our teeth while we're driving we're constantly pushing that as you said those toxins that bacterial form in health forms  the destruction of that occurs and it's very prevalent with animals i mean tucker has issues that i treat because you can't get anywhere near him to try to even brush his teeth and he thrashes never tries to bite but he thrashes and he's paralyzed i'm afraid to paralyze another segment of his spine and then and we're done so i take measures to counteract the toxins and so for the now after conversations with you he's going to start see but we never discuss the destruction that a root canal does we know it doesn't for gum disease we know or it are not told about it when it comes with the root canal well it's very because for many years not just recently medicine and dentistry of correlated periodontal disease which is inflamed infected gums with an increase in sense of heart attack and in fact deeply infected gums finally makes its way down to the apex that often secondarily infects the inside of the tooth causes the quote unquote indication for a root canal in the first place and now you have a set in system built with infection it's never going to resolve because you can't get the immune system to the infection in the literature we now have in addition to these periodontal associations in two thousand and six the journal of the american dental association did a large study and showed very clearly that if an individual has one or more root canals just had the procedure done they have a greater chance of heart disease and heart attack plain and simple but to my knowledge nobody is getting this in their informed consent i'm not saying as a doctor or a lawyer take away somebody is option to have a root canal to get something that mechanically functions as well but if you get any medical procedure anywhere in your body you need to be told what your chances of this side effect are what your chances of death are what your chances of cancer heart attack are what your chances of secondary infection to my knowledge when you sign an informed consent for a root canal i don't know that you get advised of any possible side effects other than the fact that maybe the pain will go away and you'll need a repeat procedure well and that's somewhat true  is kind of doing that of ignorance let's say because we're that's what we're taught in school we haven't and i don't want to accuse any did this of willfully doing this were no no no you're not trying to do that and begin an education proud and that's why that's why we're here right why you're here exactly that's why i'm here i don't mean to be perceived as attacking dennis no question at all but i do want dennis to listen to me because this is important for your patients i would tell you in the same regard there are data so don't want to hear it even though they might be made aware or made aware of what's going on they don't want to hear it everybody's reluctant to change number one if it's not coming down as a director from the a da which it is not coming down as a directive it's not being taught in the schools and it's definitely know there's a big difference in income if you're doing a root canal or doing an extraction the change is going to be gradual people with voices like yourself will help bring that about and again earlier we talked in her show i have a couple  root canal teeth and i've considered taking them out it's just a hard thing to overcome the fact that you're taking this an amputation it all it is part of your body it is and we've we were taught in the olden days you got rid of your teeth like they were nothing because you might start out with thirty two and about ten other ones or in some states you still have one you know but it's a hard thing now to come across and say because we've spent our whole careers saving those teeth so that you have a smile so that you have muscular structure no bone loss and they're able to chew your food not have digestive problems because you're not chewing your food properly and all of us on the say hey you've got this not take that tooth out you still have thirty other ones you know  that's that's a hard thing to to really get past that even someone who's as educated about it as i am it's still a hard thing to come out of on the start telling your patients come in we're going to take you to the well you know another thing important emphasize in this context it's covered in the new book it's not cover so much to stop america's number one killer because i was talking about root canals and heart disease but it's extremely important to realize the relationship of root canals and cancer ok and the same toxins that are getting into the venous blood and getting in the lymphatics root canals you'll find are the single most important cause of cancer of the head neck and chest and breast exam breast i don't have the figures but i dare say if there was ever just a simple objective survey done of every woman who has breast cancer i betcha the root canal incidence would be greater than ninety percent inside those individuals and or an infected tooth one of the other an infected tooth and in fact back in the one nine hundred fifty s there was a doctor by the name of dr joseph who treated maddest at a cancer patients with a very good protocol that worked very well he found and he reported in his book that ninety seven percent of his maddest at a cancer patients had one or more root canals and or infected to educate our audience sure to make them aware so that they're armed or hear things that they might not normally hear and that's why we do what we do so i studied a lot of research when i when i was asked to be on that  board you're kind of concerned because you know the advice you're giving is affecting a human life or a dog's life they don't treat animals with this institute but i studied their mcgrath's their biography and i saw one after so we're looking at color variations in a picture basically and i saw lines of red inflammation going from the tooth directly from the tooth all the way down to the tumor in the breast ignored so my advice is for people that are having issues or even on preventative measure to make yourself aware and actually i'm going to do this i've never done this i'm going to have a thermal graft done and i do just to see where i am because what you're showing when you see these hot spots and let's call them hot spots you're seeing this this side of disease or potential side of the seas or side of inflammation you know it it actually depresses me a bit it gets me mad a bit even right now the n f l is doing their thing pink in their anti breast cancer less do breast cancer awareness and breast cancer research in all that's doing is financing more mammography more chemotherapy and the answer is right there the answer is right there and i see all these poor women that have been subjected to chemo and they come out in they have their wigs on or they have their sparse hair on top of their head and to me the vast majority of it if the truth were disseminated is completely necessary even the action the trauma of a mammogram causes issues with the breast  cancer radiation were here and the manipulation as well manipulation we're going to go to a little break here of the back with dr levy on healthy pets healthy owners and we're going to talk about vitamin c and its relationship to directly to stay healthy be healthy and overcome disease or what i always like to call and a lot of other people i hear this too this is because a body is out of symbiosis we're in a state of disease dr you wrote a book also primal panacea fantasy it is a good standalone book in my opinion providing missy because it has a lot of the science and literature that we're talking about supporting all the different roles we're talking about with vitamin c infection toxins heart disease cancer chronic agenda disease in general in it also outlines the very unfortunate but all too real lack of support for vitamin c right down to vigorous opposition of vitamin c now i can look into the hearts and souls of so many politicians are so many docs who would look at me or look at this show and say that man is crazy he doesn't know what he's talking about he's hurting people by depriving them of real therapies you name it the only problem with that is i have a huge amount of clinical experience with what i'm talking about i have a huge amount of scientific data with what i'm talking about in any doc who doesn't at least have enough curiosity to work on seeing what vitamin c can do is missing out on an incredible therapy for their patients this is why the title of the book was chosen primal panacea primal of course meaning very basic panacea means for lack of a better term a cure all ok now of course we're not saying vitamin c cures everything but the way the body is made up vitamin c every real sense of the word is the basic fuel that your body runs on and when that fuel level is higher well just like electron flow when that fuel level is compromised electron flow gets low and you get diseased and when you have very little of it you go into scurvy and the many associated diseases with scurvy and usually get an infection and die so in every sense of the word vitamin c is that the basic core of keeping your body well now of course has many other anti oxidants and i always emphasize it's good to maintain as large an interactive matrix of anti oxidants in your body as possible it's also good to remember that every quality nutrient that you eat and properly to jest is a quality nutrient only if it eventually produces at the molech ular level something that has an anti oxidant effect so anti oxidant versus pro oxidant is at the basis of all disease and at the basis of how you ultimately make somebody with a given disease better so i've heard this for the longest time and i've  tolerance didn't wasn't the same on monday as it was on tuesday was always that varied throughout the different days saw great improvements in my overall health when i was loading myself with vitamin c but this was from what my physicians would tell me they're going to get kidney stones why get kidney stones that's one of the most incredible myths there is surrounding vitamin c now let me say this vitamin c as it's metabolized can be broken down to a substance called oxalate and oxalate is a common part of the most common kidney stone which is calcium oxalate so the reasoning goes if you put in a lot more oxalate in the system you're going to get more kidney stone well number one you never get a kidney stone unless you have a focal area of oxidative stress in your kidneys and with a large amount of vitamin c that's not going to develop number two is there's a can i and calcium to go along with that and i and oxalate so large amount of calcium calcium supplementation high dairy and if you look at the literature there's forty fifty sixty different things that increase oxalate formation but two of the most compelling things i know of that directly address the core of your point is that in normal pregnancies normal pregnancies for some reason metabolically the pregnant woman develops as high or higher levels of oxalate in the urine then kidney stone formers yet pregnant women don't get kidney stones then combine this with a couple studies by that  little known school in boston harvard harvard yes at harvard they did a very large study and they showed two things if you have normal kidney function now remember everything's off off the off the table when you're talking to patients and kidney failure not only with vitamin c but with anything else you can take right when you're talking about people with normal kidney function not only does vitamin c not increase kidney stone incidence it decreases the answer the kidney stones and then you take it a step further and they had a study that showed that people who already had kidney stones vitamin c helped the resolution of those kidney stones so this is absolute pure fiction but unfortunately and i don't see this say this to be so critical as to be observational there's so many things out there docs and dentist are so busy they just see something printed once or they see something disseminated to them by their medical society and book it becomes fact they don't question anything further and they really don't have the time with an inclination to make any sort of cognitive or logical analysis out of it and it gets repeated so my comeback has always been well then that i should be one great big kidney stone and i did do things gradual because i was liquid diet could eat food from solid food for five years so i'm a living testimony that things like this work and we started out by saying there's a little bit about the politics of vitamin c and primal panacea and probably one of the best single examples of that is in two thousand and ten in new zealand the big scourge back then right now is he bola back then it was h one n one swine flu well this was a disease as some people were getting and some people were dying from it was certainly a disease to be concerned about a new zealand farmer contracted h one n one it rapidly progressed several months later he's on life support the doctors want to discontinue life support a member of the family email me and what did i do say what to do i could give a large amount of vitamin c i didn't think anything would happen well finally got the doctors to give in and to make a long story short they gave a large amount of c he completely came off the respirator his white out lungs cleared up and he was discharged several weeks later ok shortly after that because this was on sixty minutes in new zealand the company that made vitamin c which the vial was just was displayed on the video the food and drug administration came after that company and just said you have poor manufacturing details you can't mass produce vitamin c anymore so i don't know if they poorly produced vitamin c or not i never got a contaminated vile from them but suffice it to say seemingly by direct association time wise shortly after it became clear that intervene as vitamin c was able to save this one person's life who was on life support suddenly we found ourselves without a major manufacturer of intravenous vitamin c in the united states of which there are very few well not a lot a lot of money in vitamin c but there's a lot of money being lost if you focus on vitamin c and you can focus on some kind of other drug that's out there so i think that's the political part behind it that's certainly a possibility i can't look at anybody's soul so i don't know i'm just trying to give people of a this is they've happened and they can reach their own conclusion  that's a shame of it all we should be looking at being well and how to get people being to become well short and it's not about the dollar but that's what it is it's about the dollar dr dr levy is is going to be back for a couple more episodes we're we're just about out of time dr and we will be focusing on on calcium and the detriments of calcium a lot of the excellent book which i have read called death by calcium dr thank you so much for being here today
