Re: I think strep overgrowth is the culprit clove bud tincture has lessened my fatigue

Thank you very much for the reply. Good to hear that you are feeling somewhat better.

I think you described the cavatation surgery well. This paper by the IAOMT dentistry association explains the details.

The flash presentation explains the use of the cone beam CAT scan for finding the sites with low density.

This is Dr J Tennant on the cavatation proceedure his dentist uses. This procedure does not include the common scraping of the dead bone that is more commonly recommended.

"To fix it, they make a tiny slit on the side of the gum. They pop down into that area, clean out the muck [containing bacteria, etc] and inject that with ozone. The bone is like a sponge, and there are a lot of places for bugs [bacteria] to hide. The ozone, because it’s a gas, will kill any bug and sterilize it. Then they draw some blood out of the arm, spin it down, and pull out the fibrin that contains all the chemicals hat tell bone to heal, stuff it down into that hole and it heals like magic."

How uncomfortable was the procedure and how long did the discomfort and swelling last?

I'd love for my close friend to have it done. She has poor prognosis brain cancer and we are looking for some experimental interventions to try. Dr Tennant in his book on cancer associates low voltage on the acupuncture meridians with a biochemical environment that favors cancer development.

Sadly it seems that her decision makers are content to let her die rather than try some things. For her I'd like the less invasive version of the surgery that Dr T describes above.
