Tópico: Endodontia, infecções que ameaçam a saúde e teoria da conspiração

[João da Ega]

Tenho um amigo pródigo em teoria da conspiração. Sempre usa uma espécie de navalha de Occan ao contrário: quanto menos econômica uma explicação, mais aceita.

A última é de que um médico americano teria provado que os canais dentários (endodontia) causam quase todo tipo de doença, até cancer de mama. Disse que tem até um documentário no Netflix. Tem também um livro

fui pesquisar e em português só achei sites conspiracionistas.

Alguém pode ajudar com fontes que tenham refutado (ou até confirmado, sei lá) essa tese?

Valeu.

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. Price, DDS in a 25 year Root Canal Research Program which was carried out under the auspices of the American Dental Association, and were subsequently covered-up

The idea that root canals cause cancer is scientifically incorrect. This myth is also a public health hazard because it could prevent people from getting root canals they need.

The myth is based on Price’s research, which is extremely unreliable. Here are some of the issues with Price’s methods:

. Conditions for Price’s experiments were poorly controlled.
. The tests were performed in nonsterile environments.
. Other researchers haven’t been able to duplicate his results.

Prominent critics of root canal therapy sometimes argue the modern dental community is conspiring to suppress Price’s research on purpose.

Regardless, there are large groups of dentists and patients alike who believe Price. For example, Joseph Mercola, a doctor who follows Price’s research, claims “97 percent of terminal cancer patients previously had root canal.” Although there is no evidence to support his statistic, this misinformation leads to confusion and anxiety.

Ele tinha me falado sobre essa estatística. Me lembrou aquel'outra que diz que 95% dos assassinos brasileiros comeram pão e café pela manhã no dia em que cometeram o crime.
