for
the people are you ready for the
[Music]
greetings and peace welcome to the dean
show I'm with the author of cleaner
teeth longer life Dr Lena
Garcia a dentist and surgeon how are you
how are you good thank you one of the
good thank God you're one of the only we
talked about this in our last episodes
one of the only dentists that I found
and we touched upon Reviving the Sunnah
with this misok that you knew about we
we broke it down really I know amazing
amazing
antibacterial and um can't go wrong with
you can't go wrong with
it it's it's like a branch little twick
it's it's amazing there are so many
health benefits you know there was um
absolutely uh what are the what are the
components we talked about for healthy
teeth well our hygiene uhhuh right um
healthy guts yeah healthy oral Flora
nutrition of course nutrition um in good
hygiene and making sure that the
materials and the procedures you have in
your mouth are supporting your health
not supporting disease La last time we
we had I had you in and we talked about
that you know and that kind of goes with
you know your book The you know uh
cleaner teeth connecting everything not
just focusing on one element but
everything you know incorporating all
that and there's an interesting uh
doctor his name is Dr Weston Price W
price absolutely and he was also a
dentist correct you're familiar with his
work yeah yeah and one of the chapters
in my book is actually referring to his
work and he did a lot of work in R
canals and nutrition um it's his work
all started actually with them losing a
son for an infected Ruth Ru Canal a dead
tooth and I think that opened up a whole
new research for him and that's what we
you know a lot of US based a lot of his
first experience with all of that and of
course nowadays we have our own
experience after so many years of his
work in my case I done thousands and
thousands of biopsies and rot Canal
teeth and they're very infected teeth
because they carry they root canals in
in that environment of that teeth you
have room for a lot of really nasty
microorganisms and they excrete into the
bloodstream around those teeth and they
cause tons of other problems in a whole
different area could be in your knees
could be in your heart uh and and and
even conventional medicine nowadays are
much more aware what the mouth causes to
the rest of the body so in our practice
I get a lot of patients referred from
oncologists and other Physicians that
wants the mouth to be clean before they
even do any Medical Treatments MH and so
you find that more and more even with
within the com the conventional
Community people are getting Physicians
are getting much more aware the benefits
of patients having healthy
mouth do you got do you guys learn about
is his is his book uh a reference guide
in conventional not profession at all
but for the holistic Community but he's
been such a Pioneer no one I mean uh he
went around and he studied all the the
different different
cultures and he saw what they were
eating and what the the tooth decays
that weren't happening necessarily in
those communities that they weren't
exposed to the Western diet yeah well
why isn't this study this should be you
know mandatory textbook in in in the
dental schools we're really far away
from that in dental schools but in the
holistic community and holistic
societies and associations and more of
the it it's growing I think patience are
it's coming from
culture it's coming from patience that
people are looking and going like okay
what can I do in the
most natural ways to help my body and to
help my my mind my physicality my energy
and my spirituality I I always give as
an example I eat well because I want to
be clear mentally spiritually physically
for that you have to include the mouth
as part of this puzzle
of healing or this puzzle of disease mhm
and I don't think by any chance
conventional medicine is giving the
whole any attention they still give
Parts attention so you have all the
different Specialists including the
dentist the D dentists are an oral part
of the body specialist and they're there
to fix teeth therefore they're not
concerned of how the mouth is
influencing the rest of the body but
they're there to fix teeth and of course
it's it's priority too we have to fix
teeth but keeping in mind that those
teeth are sitting in a whole system with
a whole body that has blood supply
lymphatics that whatever is going
through the teeth through the gums
through the bone in the oral cavity it's
affecting the rest of the body mhm it's
the same blood therefore he has to
change this mind set and Weston Price
was there supporting and he learned that
you know not in the beginning of his
career either eventually with his son's
issue and death I think that was a big
inspiration for him that an infection in
the mouth could
cause fatal situations and and he saw
that in his own case and I think
nowadays you know Physicians are
starting perhaps even in the
conventional World get a little touch
that if patients have gum disease that
could influence the rest of the body MH
so you know I see surgeons they're
getting more in tune with that you know
they want to make sure patients do not
have at least some of what they
understand a little better which could
be parodontal disease the gums disease
so then they wanted that to be solved
before they do surgeries yeah so it's a
little bit starting but it's a far away
because then we got to nutrition with
all of that mhm because of the guts so
you have the oral Flora with millions
and trillions of bugs you have your guts
you have different areas in the body so
when the mouth is healthier because
people are making choice of better
materials for the mouth or perhaps
avoiding dead teeth and
metal that could be metal implants and
metal restoration Mercury when you say
dead teeth that's root canals root canal
that's a big one now yeah that that
isn't that that's a common practice if
uh what happens that constitutes a dead
tooth like what how does your tooth
become dead what happens what are some
common either have a fracture fracture
if you have Decay Decay if Decay gets
deep enough into the pp of the tooth
where the nerve
resides now the conventional procedure
is to go in there take part of the nerve
out and replace them with the gut of per
material whatever material they choose
and that tooth now is not alive remember
every tooth in your mouth is like an
organ like your heart your liver he has
blood supply
lymphatics has everything that any organ
has and if now the tooth has a root
canal that means the tooth is no longer
alive it's now a dead body in your body
and it did it does actually act like
that because now you have necrotic
tissue uh that was never been able to
remove because it's
microscopic and even the best endodon
which is the specialist that does root
canals even the best one cannot reach
all the deep deep areas where nerve is
microscopically um housing mhm so that's
what WKA now is all about it's just a
dead body in the body I I've noticed as
soon as the pain is there that's most
likely it's affected all the way to the
to the root to the nerve so you're
probably going to need a root canal once
the pain kicks in it's it's probably too
late of saving the tooth so what do you
Rec what do you recommend now uh if
somebody is in that state that that's
that's where that there's a big business
there with root or that's a big that's a
procedure that's very very common and
what do you recommend someone comes in
your office and they got a fractured
tooth or is tooth decay what do you end
up doing do you advise someone to get a
root canal well you know um I think
dentists they tend to run really fast to
do root canals sometimes you can have
Decay that's really closed or you can
have a fracture where the tooth is
giving signs but you still have to take
into consideration other factors there
is the patient under a lot of stress is
the patient what they're eating how
they're doing as far as the acidity that
they're building in their bodies and if
you can
reverse a lot of those factors you might
be able to reverse the fact that that
nerve could survive you can potentially
reverse it you can reverse the fact that
the nerve is going
towards death death the the nerve is
struggling the nerve is tired because
there's Decay because there's fracture
because there's other factors there
grinding clenching sometimes really puts
a lot of pressure there too but if you
reverse the eating pattern if you
reverse their stress to a certain extent
if they sleep better if they take a
little they they start eating foods that
are going to
support you know not inflammation
because this is what medicine is all
about right
cancers disease autoimmune disease has
everything to do with the inflammation
so I I appli the
same uh uh the same philosophy to teeth
if we reverse that inflammation you can
definitely reverse the dep of that nerve
that's going towards you know not
surviving or even the pain you can
reverse that so we use Homeopathy we use
uh digestive enzymes we use different
things to support I mean patients have
to cooperate they have to be aware of
what they're eating and they can reverse
it so you you we're going to take a
break but you you've you've been
practicing now for what over 30 years or
something like that yes yeah and you've
seen this this is a testimony you've
seen this actually being reversed all
the time all we'll take a break we'll
right back with more with Dr Lena Garcia
don't go
[Music]
anywhere
Allah there's only one word and muham is
his messenger Allah
[Music]
there's only
[Music]
one back here on the dean show now what
happens okay so what do you do in this
situation because conventional you're
saying right away they'll they'll rush
to to take out the tooth and do the root
canal right because remember
conventionally they they are there
working in parts right so a dentist is a
specialist to take care of teeth and if
someone has pain in that tooth they want
to just go towards that tooth and fix
whatever it takes in the tooth I'm
thinking outside the box yeah I'm saying
if we change that environment in the
guts if the patient sleeps better if
they're more relaxed then there's less
inflammation and that tooth and that
nerve can recover not 100% of the times
but a lot of times how many out of let's
say 10 patients 100 patients how how
many have you seen that it's been able
to you've been able to reverse it where
you can actually save the neres save the
tooth through this process oh I would
say you know 80% of the times we're able
to do that the only time you can reverse
if the patient comes to my practice
already with a root canal oh okay and
how but how is there how far down the
line uh even before they got the root
canal is does the nerve nerve have to be
really that damaged is there is there a
point of no return sure uhh sure if if
you see an radial loosen like an absess
in the x-ray then you know if it's
swollen face and you know that the proc
the nerve is already that they are just
you know the body is just trying to get
rid of that dead body therefore you will
present SW SW face or an abscess in I'll
bet you there's a lot of people that are
saying you know what I didn't have any
of those symptoms exactly and I have R
now right ex unfortunately that's
exactly the point that I'm trying to
make and make people aware
that if they are being Guided by a
practitioner it's more openm a
practitioner that will support them in
different areas to cover that puzzle
beyond the teeth and the gums maybe then
we can save a lot of teeth from dying
unnecessarily by the procedure of root
canals what did this amazing Genius of a
doctor who went out Dr I'll go back to
him for a second he went and from what I
when when I was researching looking into
his his exploration he saw that people
weren't having this kind of dental decay
when they were eating more in harmony
what what they were supposed to be
eating and and the teeth weren't rotting
away but then when he came back so he
went and live with these people right we
lost a lot of these communities these
indigenous communities that he used to
go and live with and study their ways of
life and then what he conclud when he
came back and now the soda pop the
refined sugars white flour all these
things that are just neutrally depleted
that bugs won't even go in because
there's nothing in there but we're
eating it constantly each and every day
and conventional doctors they don't
really you know uh address this do you
guys in in in in in the school no no
there is I you know I went to you know I
was a surgeon in Brazil I graduated in
Brazil and then I when I moved to the
states I went to Boston University and
you know I was 2 years
working with the medical students and we
had none literally none nutrition or
anything beyond the the surgical
procedures the restorative procedures
the procedures that were mechanically
involved in dental school or medical
school so we don't learn beyond that we
don't learn that the reason that those
cultures that West and price studied
were doing much better it's because
didn't have those the co Coca-Cola and
Dr Peppers all those strange names for
poison you know and and Pepsi
concentrated sugars with chemicals that
create so much acidity
therefore the body is filled with
inflammation it's all about that we can
heal cancers we can heal autoimmune
diseases we can heal Dental C cavities
we can heal gum disease
we have to change we have to totally
change our
minds the system now they supports
disease that's what makes money follow
money the system supports the system
supports disease because it makes money
business huh of course it's a business
you know why is so many cancers why so
many autoimmune problems and all of that
it's because it
pays in a bigger pict
it pays much more if people were
healthier eating better you know it
would be much simpler and I assure after
30 years of practicing medicine that
nutrition is basic for any area of
medicine any specialist like myself
being a doctor of dentistry or a
psychiatrist or a neurologist any or
surgeon any
specialty that we work with if we're all
together aware of what you know
nutrition can do for our body sleep and
in 30 years of practicing medicine I do
not practice and I do not prescribe
antibiotics or pain medication and I do
a lot of surgeon surgeries big one mean
is a huge one every time you go to the
dentist I mean just you know basic V
visit as soon as there's a little bit of
blood anti I biotics antibiotics and you
know it's it's it's it's truly
unnecessary and I will go as far as say
it's a lack of awareness from the
practitioners and also from the patients
you can't just blame the practitioners
because many times patients are going to
really beg for the drug they are going
to really insist on that so it is a big
issue and there's a lot to talk about it
and and and so us as as consum clients
being we have to be more informed we
have to do more of our research and
blind you're interviewing people like me
practitioners like me isn't it when you
when I was investigating this you know I
was looking at it uh open mind and
looking at both sides and just doing the
research I found that there was a also a
Pioneer in the in the in dentistry
another one I forgot his name but he
sent I don't know how many thousands of
thousand you know of these teeth
that were extracted from root canals and
every one of them I did too were in was
that me did I give you that information
but yes I did thousands of them
thousands of them it's in my book okay
it's in your book so what does that tell
you so now that means that okay so paint
this picture you've got a rot Canal now
it failed or whatnot you take it out and
then you send it to the lab like you did
right yeah and other uh do holistic
doctors and then they find out that it's
infected so that was living it's
necrotic it's necrotic and it's
harboring very
pathogenic bugs and that's in your and
the pathogenic bugs they put out
toxicity around all the even the dead
teeth the root canal teeth there's blood
supply so the toxicity that those
pathogenic bugs are putting out it's
getting access to your bloodstream so an
infection in the mouth now it's causing
infection in remote areas of your body
because it's all getting into your
lymphatics into your blood system and
it's causing knee inflammation it's
causing arthritis it's
causing but hold on but hold on you just
mentioned knees you mentioned arthritis
uh heart but we started with the mouth
exactly so how do we end up all over the
body because the same blood that goes
around those
infected chronically or acute teeth the
same blood that goes around those teeth
it's going around your blood see that
make we're going to take a break but
goes around your knees goes around any
joint in your body we got Dr lenina
Garcia uh um and this is some valuable
valuable information uh author of
cleaner teeth healthier life we're going
to be right back with more of this
exciting episode don't go
[Music]
anywhere there's only one word and
muhamad is his messenger Allah
[Music]
there's
[Music]
only back here on the dean show I I want
to mention because a lot of times uh you
know let's say I started off with with
this misfah I'm fascinated I I remind
myself sometimes like you and we'll
touch upon oil pilling Jim always asked
me are you doing oil ping and I'm like I
forgot I'm right back on so I'll get
back on it for 3 4 days you kind of slip
away same thing with this I've been on
it for the last 2 3 days I'll slip away
but look here's an interesting thing
when you look at I have this at the de
show.com you look under um uh you could
type in the search bar how to cure
cavities uh the Wrigley company
conducted a study on the misw walk which
was published in a journal of
agricultural food chemistry in 2007 and
it talks about the mints lace in the
misok extract um extracted killed about
% of the bacteria whereas the ordinary
mints U managed to kill only 3.6% and
what are you about the mints they're
talking about these some mints in here
that kill so much bacteria and that's
one of the things of uh helping to have
good teeth there's another study in the
journal uh paradon Tre that is appeared
it was done by Swedish researchers on
the miswak and this this also concluded
that these the the misok was also uh
effective in killing much of this
bacteria there's one also yet another
study of comparing the two to brush
towards the misw walk in 2003 and this
can be re uh reviewed online at the
website uh the US National Library of
Medicine National Institute of Health in
PubMed PubMed is a big you know Research
Center for these studies but how come
there's you you'll never conventional
medicine they'll never you mention this
they'll think this is like your quack
what is this a twig of a tree but this
is science now we it but it's hard to
find it I have tried to order you can
order the sticks I got you couple for H
I got you more for husband when you
leave I got this for you now yeah but
it's very hard to um to actually make it
easy for people people like it easy
right they like a fast bullet they like
a paste they like I know you're very
good with that made your only little
that's very efficient I like that you
can buy this actually I know that's very
nice so it's it's not as practical for
people to to use that but it's certainly
it's it's a beautiful thing besides no
it's natural you do the brushing too
yeah I don't stop the brushing I do my
website has a lot of videos and has a
oral hygiene video which makes it very
easy for people understand how to their
teeth it's um Dr Lina garcia.com is my
you know my email we can get some of
these things tell me tell me this story
you're saying that uh now this uh
patient came in and had the metal imp I
had a patient yesterday coming from New
York which I'm very honored to have
patients coming from all over the place
because many times they travel from all
over the world to see you they don't
find that support they need by their
their homes so we we we support them we
we do phone consultations too but many
times they really want to come in so I
can see their teeth see their gums and
and and diagnose better for them and
yesterday I had this patient from New
York she's a professor at uh New York
University and very bright woman
and she has mitral prolapse which
require used to prophylactic antibiotic
so every time you go to a dentist and
they do anything in your mouth you need
to take antibiotic so she's been doing
this for many many years so now of
course it's a very difficult for your
immune system to recover that many
antibiotics so many times she took
antibiotics so really messed up her guts
so she's a very very her immune system
is compromised number one because of
that and secondly she has about seven
eight dead teeth in her mouth root
canals root canals those are that equals
dead teeth right and then recently they
added five metal implants well that was
enough to push her and now she is she
told me yesterday she doesn't think she
has another year to live and I told her
I said oh hold on a second here I think
there's a lot we can do and help you to
guide you through improving your immune
system getting rid of those root canals
getting rid of those implants and giving
your body a chance to recover allowing
healing not to be so busy trying to
eliminate the toxicity that's coming
from those implants toxicity that's
coming from the that teeth and all those
antibiotics you have taken so as far as
me seeing you you won't need to take any
more antibiotics we can eliminate a lot
of the source of interference of
toxicity in your mouth you know for 6
months to a year you need to use you
know partial denters but just to support
the healing and then we'll see what you
need I'm not against implants I mean I
do what do you sest zium what's the
difference between the
zumia the the the titanian implants
metal implants therefore with other
metals in the body it's causing what we
call the galvanic activity which your
saliva yeah and your brain your thyroid
they all have their
own uh um their
own nerve Supply which they have their
inovation they have their Tempo when you
add a lot of metals and you add this
galvanic activity the nerve system gets
way more pushed and you cause a lot of
more impulses in the body therefore
Metals we don't use any Metals in the
mouth at all so we do use zironia
implants zirconium is a different form
it's it's a ceramic and the ceramic does
not have autoimmune response when you do
some of the test like the Melissa test
in Europe and some other uh companies
that offer that kind of biocompatibility
test
um the the the the zonia materials in
the mouth it doesn't have that effect in
the body and and then for every
restoration everything we do of course
we do you know ceramic work yeah uh
let's go back we we got a few more
minutes left tell us about the root
canal now uh if you come to the point
where you have your first step yeah the
point of no return the first step is
like okay you don't have the swelling
you got the pain there's a way to
reverse this okay it's not the end of
the line we talked a little about that
and then you talked about nutrition and
some other things that you can do
they're there you you do a lot of these
things but most of these things they're
not taught in conventional school so you
really have to go to someone who's a
more open-minded who's gone above and
beyond the conventional method is that
right to say but if if someone's at the
point of no return now and they can't do
this um this way what do you recommend
now now it's like okay um I'm going to
be with no tooth here what can I you
know the doctor's trying to convince me
to put the root canal it's not a big
deal and he's that person's got the
degree I'm just you know that's been my
dentist for 20 years well if and I seen
that happening where I seen people with
some of those infections and they're not
ready yet to make a decision where to go
either to do the root canal or extract
the tooth then we use in our practice
ozone and we use um homeopathics
antibiotics homeopathic so they're not
your you know pharmaceutical antibiotics
and digestive enzymes and different
things and nutrition is a must here too
and you can calm down the system you can
minimize inflammation while they're
making a decision and I seen a lot of
people no longer having pain or no
longer longer having this abscess or
they must make a decision sooner or
later they will have to make a decision
because it's just going to take you know
a stress or them eating something or
drinking alcohol for that body to become
acidic and support that inflammation and
that infection so what I look for when a
patient is not ready yet to make that
decision is to minimize with the
treatments with ozone the treatments
with all the things that I mentioned
nutrition is a huge thing if they don't
have the ozone if they don't have
anything at all at least if you change
your nutrition and you start eating
foods and and and that are supporting
healing which will be no sugars no
carbohydrates no flowers for a period of
time until you your tooth feels better
and I guarantee that that alone will
help them to buy a little bit more time
so you
can look for a practitioner that can
support what now you know best and you
can't try to convince a practitioner
that is very used to only antibiotics
and root canals and very conventional
practices to help you so you're going to
have to look for someone like me or you
know someone similar that can help you
and guide you until you can make that
decision that made a lot of sense to me
because it's compared to like any other
organ that's dead you know you got a
dead finger you remove it you have
anything that's dead on you get rid of
it so that's a dead organ you don't
leave the dead organ in there it just
makes sense exactly exactly that's a
good point yeah you get rid of it but
here they want to keep it in and what
you're saying is Holistics not just
you're saying I mean some of the top
dentists in the world uh are saying
who've gone above and beyond that this
is affecting all of the other parts and
the confusing part is when you go to uh
you go to uh you know your standard
medical practitioner and you've got that
heart issue
arthritis this issue exactly there's
never a connection with your mouth and
you got to be very careful with that
because now they're going to give you
medications well if you do not remove
what's triggering that inflammation that
infection you're going to be taking
medications for the rest of your life
when that just piles up for more side
effects and more medications and you're
not really healing the source of your
problems so it's very important that it
comes from you first and then you choose
the right practitioners to guide you
it's just not
about giving all your power to someone
that it's not even fitting what you
already know now as a patient as a
person that the whole body has to be
looked as a whole not just a tooth or a
finger or arthritis symptoms no maybe
that arthritis symptoms is coming from a
bad tooth or your heart problems might
be coming from the microorganisms that
are sitting in your diseased gum if your
gums are bleeding you have an infection
in your mouth it's not okay it's not
just because your parents blood that now
it's okay for you to bleed it's not
genetic is only one cord of everything
there's three qus of everything that you
have control we can't change everything
there is you know all this wi-fi now now
we're exposed to so much but we have
some control and what you can do you
must take control over that take control
over your health that that was another
good point you got now you're on a
cocktail of of prescription drugs that
are only M only managing the disease but
they're not it's like putting a Band-Aid
over the check engine light and you're
not really getting rid of the root cause
where can people get the book well why
the book has you know cleaner teeth
longer life this is all about longevity
my grandfather lived to be 105 and I
plan and I teach and I guide people to
do the same there's no reason we're
having short unhealthy medicated lives
our minds our hearts our souls are not
even aware of all the steps and that's
why the mouth becomes a huge part of
that here's the book and obviously you
can look at Dr Garcia and you can find
our website and find ways to watch my
videos they're very helpful we also have
educational modules that we're
developing in our website so you can
educate you doesn't matter where you are
you could be you know in Russia you
could be in any place in the world and
get the information you need to start
right now taking control over your
health I want to thank you once again
thank you for being with us here on the
dean show God willing we can have you
back back again thank you guys for
tuning in we'll see you next time
