Summary

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a surprising hidden source of heart attacks. In his book "Hidden Epidemic," Dr. Thomas Levy reported that 78% of patients with myocardial infarctions and occluded arteries also had DNA of pathogens typical for infections in root canal-treated teeth.


This type of chronic infection is known as chronic apical periodontitis and often has no symptoms. As you’re chewing, you push bacteria deeper into the lymphatic system, affecting the heart and causing other inflammatory issues like arthritis.


Infected teeth are often missed on routine dental X-rays. C-reactive protein levels in your blood are a biomarker for inflammation and can sometimes signify infected teeth.


The infection can be in the tooth, gums, jaw, or tonsils. Pathogens in your mouth can create significant oxidative stress and free radical damage. One of the ways your body responds is by developing clots. Other symptoms include fatigue, chronic inflammation, jaw problems, and tooth sensitivity.


To strengthen your immune system and prevent the spread of bacteria from your teeth, take 1 to 2 grams (500 mg a few times a day) of liposomal vitamin C. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant to lower oxidative stress in the body.


Liposomal vitamin C is one of the only forms that can work at the intracellular level. Liposomal vitamin C will not cause diarrhea, even when taken in large quantities.

So there's this hidden source of heart attacks that rarely does anyone know about.

0:07.6

And this is a book by Thomas Levy, MD.

0:11.7

And so I'll put the link down below but it was actually quite fascinating

0:14.9

because I have personal experience with what I'm going to talk about.

0:18.2

Let me first jump to the smoking gun okay I'm going to tell you what he states in his book.

0:25.0

In 78% of 101 patients with myocardial infarctions,

0:30.0

that's heart attacks, and occluded coronary arteries.

0:36.2

They found DNA of pathogens typical

0:39.9

for infections in root canal treated teeth.

0:45.0

Now, this is pretty wild.

0:46.5

I've talked about this briefly in another video,

0:49.8

but the big question is,

0:50.6

what are these pathogenic biofilm microorganisms doing in your

0:55.4

heart how do they get there and what's the relationship to your teeth now they

1:00.3

also found these microbes also in the clots in certain stroke victims too.

1:06.7

Just a quick story, I went to the dentist a while ago and they were just doing a routine check up and he had this really cool. So I think it was called a 3D cone beam imaging system where they basically can scan all the roots of the teeth and look deep inside for potential

1:25.4

cappitations or like infections underneath the teeth. Now I was also an x-ray tech before I was a chiropractor

1:31.1

so I was interested in to see what was going on and so when I was a chiropractor. So I was interested in to see what was going on.

1:34.3

And so when I was looking at my teeth, I noticed there was this like huge dark little circle

1:38.7

around one of my tooth roots. Of course he looked at it and said,

1:43.1

yeah, you have an infection going on on your tooth.

1:46.0

Now, I had no symptoms whatsoever.
