Actually when I first read what you wrote I myself thought you were
referring to the 1 "case" study Dr. Kulacz had published on his website
(I think and updated version from here) that was published in a medical
journal with an ENT he works with. HIs referral to an ENT seems to
indicate he was thinking of this published case study where a RC
infected the sinus.

NIce rant, but as usual you have sifted through mounds of information
to look for one seeming inconsistency and blow it out
of proportion. Dr. Kulacz has published his case studies in
medical journals and referenced them on more recent webites

Tony you are making a fool out of yourserlf. Dr. kulacz works with
many patients who have osteonecrosis/and osteomyletis and probably
has stacks of biopsies and case reports. He also had many pictures
some of which he had on his website. Additionally he worked closely
with at least one radiologist from the Yale school of radiology who saw
evidence of infection on many CT scans for many different of his
patients.

The only one guilty of chicanery is you and the ADA.
It is also easy for you to attack behind an anyomous ID.
Maybe you would acutally start to make some scientific
sense instead of going on nonstop fishing expedtions and
personal attacks if you used your real name. I guess the
inherent inequality in the situation where you put someone elses's
patients and website under a microscope but don't provide any
information of your own has also conviently escaped your notice.

And if there is local swelling? What BS. Sorry to break it to you
but many dental infections can be silent. And even the AEE
now admits that NICO legions, for example, show virtually undetectable
radiographic changes with no changes in overlying soft tissue. What
implication DOES this have for tubules in the teeth which can remain
infected after a RC with bad bacteria? (By the way i never had or was
told I had needed a RC so i am asking from the
viewpoint of an objective observer)

What is your technique for determining the "success" of dental
procedures? OH ,that's right, you don't have one.

The published article which shows the connection between root canal
infection and sinus problems. If you had truly bothered to read his
websites or book (or do some reasearch yourself) or even read through
Haley's site, you might come off as less of a ranter
who is only interested in making lot of commotion about a few
pictures of a file to protect your own ego. By the way even in this
obvius case the physicians seemed 'unwilling' to make the connection
which is the appropriate point to make.

I can't disagree with you there. I think most doctors ARE ignorant.
Some would even go so far as to say the AMA is run like a mafia!
Of course I think doctors should long ago have recognized that
amalgams do give off large amounts of Hg as well. The medical
profession as a whole seems to be broken including the skyrocketing
cost of health and malpractice insurance. (All this seems to be
occuring with a passive public asleep at the wheel I might add).

False. Is such a statement designed to boost your credablity, because
it is NOT working very well. Hah, i hate to tell you
but you are coming off very much like a fool. I'm just letting
you know now since, sometimes it is difficult for people to
view themselves objectively.

I am amazed you don't see the irony in the fact you came in

You've described yourself to a tea. And I think Dr. kulacz hit
the nail on the head when he noted that you are too LAZY to
read and quote scientific references, on either this obviously
controvoserial issue or amalgam. You can't even be bothered to
read or comment on the numerous references on Haley's site.
Nor could you locate the scientific references on his website
or even the article he published during your 'thorough search'.

Part of doing reserch and thinking for yourself is something they
teach in you in school. You learn how to learn. I have to say that
my first dentist from Georgetown also appeared to be very lazy which
is why i probably ended up with dental problems. I have to wonder
what it is exactly they did teach at Georgetown. How to socialize
and be a big loudmouth while talking a good game,
or get down to the grunt work of dentistry, be meticulous and do
research which requires WORK and thinking for YOURSELF and producing
your own results, as well as taking pride in those
results.

These are serious issues. This is serious stuff, (amalgams root
canals, jaw infection etc). Complancency and follow the heard
mentality, even if condoned by seemingly credable institutions can be
catastrophic for the Patient, if not the dentist.

Many patients on the OM/ON lists seem to be happy with Dr. kulacz's
work and this includes family members of sick patients. Doctors
also seem to be happy with his work and even gotten published articles
out of it. I believe Dr. kulacz would be the first to admit he doesn't
have all the answers or any cure alls. The only unhappy people seem to
be the dentists and you in particular who are exactly guilty of what
you have accused Dr. k of doing, right above. Why don't you get of your
lazy bum and actually do some research instead of making a fool out of
yourself with your used car salesman schtick. informed patients are not
buying what the ADA is saying.
