i can report CS sucess on a tooth... broke a lower molar in august and had it rebuilt, but heat and cool would hurt for months...
day before christmas had a great meal and used the tooth a little much i guess, and by next morning my mouth was totally swollen and my dentist gave me a perscrpition on the phone for clyndamycin, a very powerful abx....and to come in after christmas when the swelling was gone to have a root canal done, maybe... anyway there was a mixup in getting the perscription, and since i was just learning about CS at that time, i bought a bottle and started gargling with it....temp was hitting 103+ ....by morning i had finished about 12 ounces, and the pain was gone..(did not take the abx). could also eat christmas dinner so that was nice... three days later went into the dentist's office and he tapped on the tooth (five hits)with a small steel hammer to see if the infection was really gone, and i did not wince...he was impressed and cleaned my teeth and refused to take any money, for the lesson learned... this happened a year ago now and the tooth is fine to this day, so i am convinced it really got to the root of it... i used straight CS, but if i had the same problem today i would dilute it with DMSO to about 10% of total volume... i do realize is is harder to keep it in the upper part of your mouth, but it's still doable.... lagoon ----- Original Message ----- From: flpplan...@aol.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 5:13 PM Subject: CS>Could CS help avoid a root canal? I was told almost five months ago by my dentist that I need a root canal for one of my upper molars because of the infection around (or in) the roots of that tooth (as shown by X-ray). I said "No" at the time, largely because of my concerns about the long-term toxicity of root-canaled teeth (according to some dental practitioners). So, I was given a penicillin-like antibiotic which eliminated the pain, but the pain has been slowly and gradually returning during the last three months. Given my dislike for antibiotics and my suspicion about the dangers of root canals, I'm looking for alternatives. I assume that CS would kill the noxious bacteria around the roots of my infected tooth if there was a way to deliver CS to the site of the infection (which undoubtedly likes below and inside gum tissue). Could drinking a certain quantity of CS for a certain period of time be helpful? Gargling with CS or spraying the infected tooth and surrounding tissue with CS would seem to be inadequate because it's not likely that CS could get into and under the skin at the point of infection. Could I be wrong about that? Your thoughts about this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
