Multiple Sclerosis Is Predominantly a Dental Disease
Multiple sclerosis (MS), also known as disseminated sclerosis, is a chronic
disease of the nervous system affecting young and middle-aged adults. The
myelin sheaths surrounding nerves in the brain and spinal cord are damaged,
which affects the function of the nerves involved. The course of the illness
is characterized by recurrent relapses followed by remissions. The disease
affects various parts of the brain and spinal cord, resulting in typically
scattered symptoms. These include unsteady gait and shaky movements of the
limbs (ataxia), rapid involuntary movements of the eyes (nystagmus), defects
in speech pronunciation (dysarthria), spastic weakness, and optic neuritis.
Since its discovery around the mid-1830s, there has been endless speculation
about the cause of MS. Now we’ve come to realize that the first reported
appearance of the disease occurred only a few years after the original
insertions of dental mercury as amalgam fillings in 1826. During our
interview, Cardiologist Thomas Levy told me that Dr. Hal Huggins has
researched this medical history and acted on it. "Dr. Huggins has
consistently witnessed improvement in MS patients undergoing amalgam
removal. He observes clear symptomatic and laboratory test improvements in
up to 85 percent of the patients. Until he relinquished his Colorado dental
license, it was common to see wheelchair-bound patients discontinue use of
their support chairs and take steps on their own once again," said Dr. Levy.
Multiple sclerosis recovery has happened repeatedly for patients so
afflicted because they have undergone dental amalgam removal. Clinical
observation confirms that multiple sclerosis is predominantly a dental
disease. It is brought on by dentists packing mercury and other amalgamated
metals into the cavities of people with impaired teeth. Mercury amalgams
have made people what holistic and mercury-free dentist Richard T. Hansen,
D.M.D., of Fullerton, California, has described as "dental cripples." (Note:
Dr. Hansen’s holistic practice procedures are discussed at length in chapter
2. See the listing of his book on holistic dentistry in appendix B.) The
success rate of healing for MS patients increased with Dr. Huggins’
discovery of fluoride in all its forms as a complicating factor in the
disease. Fluoride must be scrupulously avoided by MS patients. They must not
drink fluoridated water, brush with fluoridated toothpaste, or take fluoride
dental treatments. Ingestion of this chemical retards the patient’s clinical
progress toward healing or even promotes frank clinical relapse of MS
symptoms.
Dr. Huggins has MS. Since he has experienced its symptoms for many years,
Dr. Huggins himself is all too keenly aware of the nuances and persistence
of MS as a disease. But he keeps the symptoms largely in check by following
a series of stringent lifestyle modifications, eating an excellent diet (the
dental diet), and taking nutritional supplementation as part of his daily
regimen. It is well known that dentists push the use of fluoride products
and fluoride drinking water on the public. By doing so, they are assuredly
increasing the incidence of multiple sclerosis in the Western world. (See
chapter 14.)
The brain and central nervous system (CNS) are strongly affected by the
electrical current present in all people whose mouths contain metal. This
phenomenon is readily recognized as "oral galvanism." Such electrical
currents can be measured easily with a probe and a microammeter.Amalgams,
metallic crowns, and braces generally all register from 1 to 100
microamperes of current in a positive or negative polarity. The natural
currents found in the brain are in the range of 7 to 9 nanoamperes, making
the mouth currents anywhere from 100 times to 10,000 times more powerful.
Keep in mind that the base of the brain is roughly an inch away from the
upper teeth.
The consequence is that MS patients and various other neurologically
affected patients demonstrate improvement immediately with removal of this
metallic electrical dental material. Their muscle strength and coordination
improve and various symptoms decrease, including severe migraine headaches,
chronic cough, jaw pain, muscle cramping, chest pain, and low energy levels.
Even psychiatric and emotional depression disappear.

Diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis: neuropathies from Bordetella pertussis.
Fiore D.
Having found positive the research for anti-Bordetella antibodies in the 95
47% of 92 patients affected by defined multiple sclerosis and in the 100% of
55 patients affected by non-patched neuropathies (amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis and correlated neuropathies), I reassessed the pathogenesis of the
neuropathies from Bordetella pertussis. In the two categories of
neuropathies (with and without patches), the beginning pathogenetic
mechanisms are the same: 1) pertussis re-infection in patients with
mucociliary barrier defect; 2) pertussis toxins passage in the blood; and 3)
formation of circulating immune complexes. In multiple sclerosis, astrocytes
produce class II human leukocyte antigens, the endothelia of the small brain
vessels show the "adhesion molecules," and the immune complexes fall in the
central nervous system (patches are formed). In amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis and in the other non-patched neuropathies, the astrocytes do not
produce the class II human leukocyte antigens, the endothelia do not show
adhesion molecules, and immune complexes do not fall in the central nervous
system; but they increase in blood until they inhibit the ulterior
antibodies production. For relative antibodies lack, pertussis toxins fix
directly on neuro-epithelia; their pathogenic power and physiopathologic
astrocytes role in the central nervous system produce the damage. With a
blood sample, we can assess Bordetella etiology. In all these neuropathies,
an extended antibiotic therapy to clear mucosae and to prevent reinfections
is necessary.

We assessed the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) associated with a series of
putative risk factors. We studied 140 patients (90 women) with MS (mean age,
42.1 years; SD=10.2 years; disease duration, 10.9 years, SD=7.5 years) and
131 sexand age-matched controls. Using a structured questionnaire, we
collected information related to demographic data, socio-economic status,
education, ethnicity, changes of domiciles, migration, occupation,
environmental, nutritional and hormonal factors, exposure to various
bacterial and viral agents, vaccinations, and family history of diseases. In
multiple logistic regression analysis, we found independent risk factors of
MS to be: familiarity for MS (OR=12.1; 95% CI, 1.3-110.7), autoimmune
diseases (OR=3.8; 95% CI, 2.0-7.1) and migraine (OR=8.7; 95% CI, 1.0-75.4);
comorbidity with autoimmune disease (OR=6.8; 95% CI, 1.4-32.0) and migraine
(OR=13.5; 95% CI, 1.5-116.6); and vaccination against measles (OR=92.2; 95%,
12.1-700.2). Familial susceptibility to MS, autoimmune diseases and
migraine, and vaccination to measles are associated with an increased risk
of MS. The data collected in this study are confirmatory and support the
hypothesis that etiology of MS constitutes the effect of interplay between
genetic and environmental risk factors. However, the relatively small number
of cases and controls prevents firm conclusions.
