Root Canals, Implants and their Consequences in Disease

Santa Barbara Central Library - Faulkner Gallery
January 13, 2012 - 2pm

Lecture by Hal Huggins

More information here - RSVP not required.  All events free and open to public 

Dr. Weston Price, head of organized dental research, and Dr. Leonard Rosenow of the Mayo Clinic, discovered that extracted root canal teeth implanted in rabbits could transfer diseases that the human had; onto the rabbit.  Mayo’s examined and reported 11,000 such transfers – Price – 60,000.  What was found in those tests that are of value today?  The basis of current DNA research that has not only confirmed their original root canal research, but expanded to include the consequences of cavitations from wisdom tooth extractions and the current dental practice of bone grafts and implants.
How often do x-ray confirm sterility of root canals?  What does DNA say about sterility and the consequences of contamination?  Are antibiotics the answer?  Are there pathological consequences to these new practices?  What treatments are best for abscessed teeth?
Bone grafts and implants are the most prestigious and financially rewarding items in dentistry today.  DNA analysis helps us evaluate the consequences of this new exciting industry.  You deserve to be informed of the findings of the most sophisticated and accurate DNA analyses of potential consequences of receiving these procedures.
Detoxification can be REtoxification.  How much can your body do on its own?  When are chemical aids too overwhelming?  DNA has those answers as well.
Come listen to Hal A. Huggins DDS, MS. Hal is the world's most controversial dentist because of his stand on trying to convince dentistry to stop the use of mercury in fillings. He has been in practice since 1962, fifty years. He received a post–doc Master's at the University of Colorado with emphasis on immunology/toxicology in 1990. He successfully pioneered treatments for autoimmune diseases caused by dental toxins and has personally treated over 5,000 toxic patients.
He has lectured professionally 2,500 days in 46 of the U.S. states and 14 foreign countries. He has authored several books, written over 50 articles and given over 1,000 radio/TV interviews, including 60 Minutes Australia (1989) and 60 Minutes New Zealand (2007).
He is currently a consultant worldwide for multi-disciplined centers and founder of the Multi-Discipline Alliance of professionals who practice the Huggins Protocol for recovery of autoimmune diseases.

Coconut Kefir and Yogurt Recipe

Check out these fabulous recipes:
fermented coconut kefir and coconut yogurt 
c/o Amy Bachellor of Scent from Heaven.

Coconut Kefir
I learned about the wonders of Coconut Kefir from Elaina Love. Loaded with healthy intestinal flora, fermented Kefir is wonderfully beneficial for the digestive tract. 


Yield: 4 cups, 8 servings
Time required: 15 minutes
Prep ahead: open coconuts
Equipment: blender
Young Living essential oils: preferred choice


Ingredients:
4 cups Thai Baby Coconut water (3 or 4 coconuts)
I packet Kefir starter (Body Ecology)


Instructions:
Warm the coconut water in a saucepan until it is warm to the touch.
In a blender, blend all the ingredients, briefly.
Pour the mixture into a covered quart glass container.
Place in a warm area, covered with a cloth to contain the heat.  On top of the dehydrator, set at 90 degrees, works well.
Let rest for 8 to 12 hours, depending on desired tartness.
Store finished kefir in the refrigerator. It will last for about one week.


Comments:
Sweeten with Young Living Stevia extract or sweetener of your choice, after the fermentation process.
Flavor with different Young Living Essential Oils, such as Lemon or Peppermint, after the fermentation process.
Use in salad dressings or smoothies.
Use ¼ to ½ cup to start another batch of Kefir.


Coconut Yogurt
I tried making coconut yogurt a few times without much success. Then I learned how to make it from Elaina Love and switched to Ejuva as the probiotic recommended by Cherie Soria at Living Light. I was in Heaven. The result was over the moon and I have been a happy camper ever since. Coconut yogurt is always in my refrigerator and I enjoy a spoonful first thing in the morning. It makes my body hum.

Yield: 3 cups, 6 servings
Time required: 30 minutes, plus 12 to 18 hours of culture time
Prep ahead: open coconuts
Equipment: high powered blender
Young Living essential oils: Nutmeg and Ginger

Ingredients:
3 cups Thai young coconut meat, (4 coconuts)
½ cup Thai young coconut water
¼ tsp Himalayan salt
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
¼ tsp. probiotic powder (Ejuva)
2 drops Ginger Young Living essential oil
1 drop Nutmeg Young Living essential oil

Instructions:
In a blender, blend the coconut meat and coconut water until smooth, creamy, and slightly warm, adding more water as needed.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend briefly.
Pour the mixture into a covered quart glass container, leaving room for expansion.
Place in a warm area, covered with a cloth.  On top of the dehydrator, set at 100 degrees, works well.
 Let rest for about 12 to 18 hours, depending on desired tartness.
Store in a covered glass container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Comments:
Try flavoring with different Young Living Essential Oils, such as Cinnamon or Clove.
Sweeten with Young Living Stevia extract.
Mix the yogurt with fruit and top with granola or chopped nuts.
To use in salad dressings or sauces, make the yogurt unflavored and unsweetened.
Blend with fruit and put in an ice cream maker for frozen yogurt.
