Bacteria trapped inside the structure of teeth migrate throughout the body. They may infect any organ, gland, or tissue and can damage the heart, kidneys, joints, eyes, brain, and endanger pregnant women. Learn how these infections were discovered by Weston A.

About the Author

Doctor Meinig received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1937 from the Chicago College of Dental Surgery, now the Chicago College of Dental Surgery Department of Loyola University.

Early in his practice, at a time when few dentists treated root canal infections and only a handful of dental schools gave instructions about the subject, Dr. Meinig practiced root canal therapy and taught the subject at dental association sessions around the Middle West.

These professional activities led to his being one of the founding members who started the American Association of Endodontists (root canal therapists).

Because of his background in root canal therapy and his holistic and nutritional approach to practice, Dr. Meinig was selected to manage the Twentieth Century Fox Studio dental office after World War II service in the Air Corps.

His participation as a member of his dental society s speaker s bureau was the forerunner in lectures he made in many parts of the United States and in six foreign countries.

As a columnist for 17 years, Dr. Meinig s Nutritionally Speaking articles appeared weekly in the Ojai Valley News, and his book, NEW trition----How to Achieve Optimum Health, grew out of that endeavor.

Learning about the meticulous 25-year root canal research of Dr. Weston A. Price, DDS and the serious side effects that result, Dr. Meinig, in consideration of his own opportune, well-suited background, found he was anxious for this information to be made public. The thought of millions of chronic disease sufferers who could be helped was a powerful motivating force.

Along the way, Dr. Meinig has received many recognition citations and awards, both nationally and internationally. They include Who Who in California, and Fellowships in the American College of Dentist, the International College of Applied Nutrition, and The Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation. From Mexico, he received Certificado de Asistencia, and a similar citation from the Dentaire International, Cologne, Germany.

After he retired from his active practice in Ojai, California, Dr. Meinig delivered the message about the serious side effects of root canal therapy by radio and television appearances, articles in magazines, the press, and by lectures. Through these activities, he had hoped to stimulate contributions for research into how to sterilize and kill these virulent germs, which become locked in the tubules of the tooths dentin. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crucial information that has been hidden for too long!, November 9, 1998

This review is from: Root Canal Cover-Up (Paperback)

For anyone suffering from chronic/degenerative disease, this reading is a must. Writen by George E. Meinig, D.D.S., F.A.C.D., one of the founding members who started the American Association of Endontists (Root Canal Therapists), the 25 years of root canal research by Dr. Weston Price is finally made public. Thorough coverage of this valuable research, as well as the reasons for its cover-up are made known. Dr. Meinig explains how bacterial infections and the toxins they emit travel from the dentin in the root filled tooth to other parts of the body, causing systemic focal infections. These infections may also originate from gum infections, infected tonsils or tonsil tags, and tooth pocket infections resulting from extractions. Many body organs and systems have been associated with focal infection from root canal bacteria. Many case histories are presented. Some of the ones covered are heart and circulatory, bladder, kidneys, ovaries, testicles, and arthritis. The book is written for the lay person to read with a minimum of technical jargon. Many photographs are also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is GOOD SCIENCE, March 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Root Canal Cover-Up (Paperback)

Unlike the second reviewer from Boston, who from his comments exposes the fact that he/she probably only glanced through the book without reading it carefully, I think this book is a GREAT SCIENTIFIC ADVANCE. The millions of bacteria living in dental tubules of a root canal treated dead tooth (the tooth without living roots is dead since it has no blood supply) do not cause any external pain symptoms. These bacteria get no oxygen (since blood is absent) and so their adapted metabolism produces very harmful toxins continuously damaging important organs of the body. I would suggest this reviewer to read some politics behind how the dental associations were created in order to eliminate any responsibility dentists had for protecting human body versus protecting dead teeth. Most dentists are trained and paid to be teeth savers and somewhat innocently end up becoming body killers. They don't know what they are doing, just like the pawns of any systematic hierarchy where the leadership defines the agenda, and makes the pawns serve its interests. The words "Science" and "Prophecy" are much abused by the establishment in order to spread fear among the curious population. I found no prophecies in this book. I only found good, responsible, and non-political Science at its best. And finally, I am no high school drop-out inventing conspiracy theories. I have a Ph.D. in my field and I have investigated the dental profession by reading many journal articles, lawsuit information, and books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Root Canal - Health Problems - Read This Book!, August 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Root Canal Cover-Up (Paperback)

I thought root canals were routine, until I lost my health. Dr. Meinig's book came out, after I had been battling health problems for 3 years. Doctors would not believe me, when I told them that I thought the root canal was my problem. Dr. Meinig's book showed evidence that it very well could be. Anyone who has a root canal or has been told that they need one, should read this book and be made aware of the dangers. I for one am very grateful to Dr. Meinig for making this information available to the public. Because of the information that was made available, I had the tooth pulled and my health improved tremendously.
