I'm using the red/orange lights on my jaw bone daily, sometimes 2x a day but I still have an infection under the molar where I had a root canal. The red light used to create some inflammation that led to a dull ache in the tooth and jaw, but now when I use it I don't feel much of anything later in the day. Still the tooth is sensitive to touch and pressure, although the pain has diminished significantly from when July when it was done..
The medical folks are divided as always. The endodontist says I need to get the roo
t canal done over and that by removing all the bacteria in the canals, the jaw will heal itself. The regular dentist put in an old medicine (Iodoform -- an iodine formic acid) without telling me, and a bit of it is still there - it supposedly 'kills' the bacteria; the dentist who did this says to wait another month or two. The regular holistic doctor says the holistic dentists say the tooth has to be pulled, and that living with a chronic low grade infectino in the bone is going to make my fatigue worse and compromise my healing. I have to admit that I don't have much faith in any of them... they have not been good guides on my healing journey.
I don't know what to do at this point. It's not just the expense of a root canal or implant or fixed bridge, it's also that I believe there MUST be something else I can try in addition to the red light. Asing hive brain to direct me to them.
Just as an example, when I was sick with Lyme disease but undiagnosed, I heard a talk by Robert Beck and ended up buying equipment for blood purification that he recommended .. and within a year of using it I had recovered.
