Banned from Netflilx: Root Cause

There’s a new study everyday telling me something I didn’t want to hear. We base our lives around these things.  A study will not to sit while at work so we stand. Then a study after that will say sitting is fine with a dash of standing. The egghead scientists told us butter and fats were unhealthy and caused  heart disease so we bought Margarine. Turns out butter is better and margarine and other factory oils cause heart disease. That’s why I hate these studies. They freak us out for years and later we find out we were fine all along.

But I do listen to these studies. Always. I hear the tag line on some stupid facebook ad or someone shares it. I scroll passed, trying my best not to think about the potential dangers coming my way. But then I think about it. I’ll see the title And I go “pshhh. Then I think about it later on the toilet and start reading about it on my phone. Most of the times there is some obvious hole or the entirety of the claim is based on an anecdote. Or, it will use fear tactics. Doing this drapes a canvas veil of BS over the little caged bird brain of the masses. Same thing happened with a teacher I had in HS. They guy was a genius, he was a surgeon years before and taught for a couple years until he retired. When the Kony 2012 epidemic struck in the media he showed us this video and at the end he told us with teary eyes he was going to buy the boxes of posters and promos so that way the world knew about Kony. Cringe! The next day he held his head down ashamed and told us he had screwed up. That moment really struck with me. If he can be wrong, a high IQ full on adult dude, then what am I wrong about? Ever since then I’ve been reading new claims to see where we get things wrong in our society.

Root cause makes one major claim: root canals are bad. Why? Because it leaves a dead bone in your sensitive food hole that is connected to the nervous system. A root canal in short is a process where the dentist cuts into a dead tooth, takes out the rot, and fills it with a plastic (it used to be mercury) called gutta percha.

The main claim: We have bad teeth with severe cavities, cut into them, remove some of the rot and fill it with a plastic and seal up this dead bone, encased in the mouth. In one clip it showed a woman who’d been nearly crippled, she haunched over her walker in aching pain until one day her doctor asked her if she’d ever had a root canal done. As soon as her dead tooth was removed she noticed a remarkable difference: almost no pain and she no longer needed her walker.

It makes some claims which some in the medical community have rallied against. 98 per cent of women who have breast cancer had a root canal tooth on the same side as their breast cancer.

But according to beatcancer.org many doctors do not pay attention to what might be caused by oral diseases. Dr. Hal Huggins, D.D.S. found in 1993 82 new unique anaerobic diseases. Autopsies of people who died of “heart disease” have found 30 of these types of bacteria in the hearts of these people.

Later Higgins worked on another study of 5,000 root canal patients, stating that once tested high levels of toxins were found in their mouth.

But all this said it is important to mention that Higgins had his license revoked. Some of the Root Cause proponents say it is because he became too vocal as he harangued the world with nonsense. Others say it was the erroneous claims against the common practice.
