Built on Peat's suggestion to do it over extraction if the option was available, I used a guy who used GENTLE WAVE which is supposed to be great at sterilization, etc.
Such treatments are no doubt great at general sterilization, potentially offering up to 99.99% sterilization. The problem is that this is not enough. The remaining 00.01% is more than enough to allow the bacteria to proliferate. In order to make root canal an impeccable treatment approach, you would necessarily have to eliminate every single bacterium, which is extremely unrealistic no matter the tech or substance used.
Appreciate it. You will not necessarily suffer from any observable side effects from the treatment, at best it will simply cap your progress if you're ever pursuing supra-physiological states of health through breathwork.
Peat has given me valuable knowledge in areas in which I had none to begin with. Typically the beliefs to which I end up committing stand on a robust internally consistent foundation, so the only way to sway me from them would be to directly invalidate one of the foundational premises. Such does happen, but given how surface-level my knowledge in regard to nutrition and biology was before stumbling upon Peat's work, I was such a tabula rasa that there were very few opportunities for swaying.
It was mostly aimed at you and hamster, both of you whom had sound reasoning for avoiding extractions, which you were ready to throw out of the window the moment Peat offered an opposing conclusion with zero reasoning.
Since the procedure I've only gotten better in all facets of my health to be fair. I was improving before already, but one thing I did change was my sleeping pattern. Asleep by 10 pm every night compared to 12-1.
The difference between having an infected and a largely sterilized root canal is of course dramatic. If the latter should cap your health in any way, it would be nothing compared to the former. I wish I could get to bed that early. I can't remember the last time I woke up before noon. Years ago my sleep schedule got so late that it actually became an early one: I would sleep as long as I wanted and wake up naturally at 6 AM. It was wonderful, for the two weeks that it lasted until I was back to sleeping till noon.
This is for the best, ultimately
Going into my 7th month of going to sleep early, it's the greatest thing I've done for my health. I wouldn't replace it with any other thing I've started or stopped in my health journey.
This may end up motivating me to give it another go. What kind of benefits do you attribute to it?
Every physical benefit that people seek so strongly on this forum. Not kidding! i.e- digestion, focus, strength, recovery, mood, resilience, (insert desired thing.)
Huh, interesting. Though based on my own two week experience in that schedule, I'm not surprised. In my mind I hated being up so early, but my body seemed to love it. Did you experience an overall reduction in the required hours of sleep?
Maybe a slight difference. 9 hours is my sweet spot I think.
I'll take a look and report back.
