Hi guys.
Dr. Minkoff here.
I had a wild case this week
and I want to relate it to you
because it's just another one of those:
Holy smokes!
We really got it.
The story is this:
A 20 year old female
with a history of 3 years of having 5 to 8 seizures every day
was brought to the clinic.
It turns out that her parents
are missionaries over in Indonesia.
Which is where they live
and that's where she lives.
About 3 years ago, she started to have seizures,
and she started having distress with her stomach
and nausea, and over the last year,
it's gotten worse and worse and worse.
And because she wasn't able to eat
and because of the chronic seizures,
she went from 120 pounds down to 89 pounds.
She was very weak.
She was very frail,
and she would have episodes during the day
where she felt like very great amounts of fear
where she was almost uncontrollable.
And they didn't know what to do with her.
They took her to some practitioners there.
The parents are very holistically oriented.
They didn't want to put her on seizure medication.
She'd had brain scans and brain MRIs
and nobody had been able to make a diagnosis on her.
So, I had seen some of the other family members
that live the United States
and they had been doing well.
So, they referred her to here
and so when I saw her,
she was a frail little thing, very weak, 89 pounds,
pale,
and again, 5 to 8 times a day, having seizures.
When I first examined her,
what I found was that the most
disturbing thing affecting her autonomic nervous system,
was something that we call jaw osteitis.
It means inflammation or infection of the jawbone.
And I detect this using a kind of examination.
It's a kind of body biofeedback examination, called autonomic response testing.
So, with this technique as a part of my physical exam,
I can pinpoint, what is the major stressor
going on in a person's body.
And on her's,
it turned out that it was what was called jaw osteitis.
Now, when I got this response,
what I did, was I sent her to my local
biological natural dentist,
and he has a very sophisticated CAT scanner in his office
where he can do what's called a cone beam CT.
It's a CT scan of just the teeth.
And when I sent them over there,
what he said was it looked like at to wisdom tooth sites,
number 17 and 32,
that there was what's called a cavitation.
The density of the jawbone in those areas
showed that the bone had never healed in
once the tooth was removed.
And there was actually a cavity there.
Now, when this happens,
many times that cavity will fill up
with infection or toxins
and it can influence the nerve that goes through there
which then can influence the brain.
So, he decided to do an operation on her
where he could take off and open up this cavitation.
He found, by the way,
that the symptoms started only 6 or 8 months after
she'd had her wisdom teeth pulled.
So, the symptoms kind of correlated time-wise
with what was going on.
Prior to that she'd been normal.
When he unroofed that part of the jaw bone
where the wisdom teeth were, on number 17 and 32,
these are the two lower wisdom teeth,
he found big holes in there
with some gooey, green/yellow material
that was odorous.
And he cleaned it out.
And then what he did was he took some of her blood,
spun it down, took the stem cells,
washed out that whole area with ozonated water,
to clean it up,
put the stem cells in there, and then closed the hole.
From the point of the surgery, for one week,
she had no seizures.
First time in 3 years.
She gained two pounds because she started to eat.
After one week, she had a seizure.
I sent her back to him.
He injected ozone in both sites again.
Irrigated it with ozonated water.
I saw her 3 weeks later.
She's had no seizures.
She's gained two more pounds.
She feels fine.
She's gonna be going back to Indonesia in the next week.
She's completely fine.
Now, this is really really important that people know this.
Because without this treatment,
she would be on chronic seizure medications.
Maybe or maybe not, this would work or not.
But it isn't what's wrong with her.
So, we have a normal 20 year old.
No head trauma.
Normal brain.
EEG shows petit mal seizures.
But she's got a reason for her seizures.
And when you go to the doctor,
you want to find a doctor
who's looking for reasons for problems.
And when you get the right reasons,
the problems resolve.
So, that's what good doctors do.
They don't cover up symptoms with medications.
Sometimes medications may be needed
to alleviate a problem for a while,
but if you then find what the reason is,
then the symptom goes away
and the person is then fine.
Like she is.
And she's gonna go home and be fine,
and she's gonna gain her normal weight back,
and she's gonna be totally okay.
Now, a couple of points.
If you go to a dentist to have your wisdom teeth pulled,
or any tooth pulled,
this is a really important point to make with your dentist.
Because usually when dentists pull teeth,
they just pull the teeth.
The anatomy of the tooth,
if this is the tooth,
and this is the jawbone,
the tooth sits in a sling.
That sling is called the periodontal ligament
and the tooth isn't fixed hard to the bone.
It's in the sling because if you bite something hard,
the tooth has to be able to move a little bit or it would break.
This is why you can do orthodontics,
and in a matter of months, you can move teeth around.
Because they're not fixed in the bone.
They're in this ligament
and they can wiggle
and they can move back and forth a little bit.
If the dentist just pulls the tooth
and the periodontal ligament is left in there,
so now here you have the tooth is gone,
and you have the sling,
and he sews this closed,
the periodontal ligament is there,
this can be used as a collection spot for the body.
Bacteria can get in there.
Infection can grow in there.
The body doesn't handle it,
and you get what's called a cavitation,
or jaw osteitis,
and this is a real thing.
And the most common teeth that are pulled are wisdom teeth.
The wisdom teeth,
in terms of
Chinese medicine,
relate to the brain,
to the heart,
and to the small intestine.
I have seen earlier patients
where they had cavitations in their wisdom teeth
and they were having heart irregularities.
They were having atrial fibrillation.
They were having PVCs.
And when we handled the cavitation,
their heart resolved
because this pathway
through the wisdom teeth
goes to the heart and goes to the small intestine
and goes to the brain.
In this case, she had a brain problem.
It was seizures.
So, what you want to tell your dentist to do
if you have a tooth that needs to be pulled,
is they have to take out the periodontal ligament
when they pull the tooth.
Really important!
An oral surgeon will always do this because they know.
But a lot of general dentists don't know it.
They don't do it and that's what happened with her.
It was sitting in there
and then she got this chronic infection in two places.
So, if you need a tooth pulled,
you want to discuss this with your dentist first.
So, they make sure they do it.
And if the guy's really good,
he'll put the stem cells,
the PRP, the platelet-rich plasma.
They'll draw some blood from you.
They'll spin it down.
They'll take the platelet-rich plasma.
They'll put it in there
then they'll close it.
These stem cells cause bone to grow in there
so it's nice and dense.
The finding on our CT scan
was there was, no dense bone there.
That's how we knew there was a problem.
Other than on the autonomic response testing,
which showed it to me,
but I couldn't look in there and see anything
because you can't see it.
And I saw the dentist at first, before he did the CT scan,
did a regular panorex x-ray.
You can't see it.
You have to do the CT scan.
So, if you're getting teeth pulled,
make sure they're pulled the right way.
If you have chronic problems
with your heart or your small intestine,
or you have central nervous system problems,
it might be that you have a cavitation.
And that that cavitation can be handled
by a knowledgeable biological dentist
to the point where it might resolve your problem.
As it did with this young woman.
Okay?
So, points to leave you with:
Dentistry affects health in a big way.
We don't want materials in the mouth that aren't good materials.
We want to make sure that procedures
that are done in the mouth are going to be compatible
with the rest of the body.
And if we do that, we can have nice teeth
that are functional.
And we won't have downstream problems from the dentistry.
Okay?
Hope this helps.
