Biological Dentistry, Mercury Fillings & Surviving Stage 4 Cancer with Dr. Teresa M. Scott

SPEAKER_00 0:00

I'm not into beating people up. I'm not into beating myself up. I do the very best I can with the knowledge I have. But so many people are there beating themselves up, going, Well, if I admit that I caused harm, oh my gosh, the world is going to end. I'm like, no, you're finally going to be able to be honest with yourself and move forward in integrity instead of burying your head in the sand.

SPEAKER_03 0:20

Yeah, because we all know suppression of our own truth. If we we know it, you see it clinically. And I know that a lot of people see it clinically, but they don't want to shine that truth because it's a mirror. But they're it's gonna affect them physically to suppress that truth. As you know, I'm very passionate about educating you about your own health, advocating. Uh you have the right to ask questions. You have the right to get all the information to make the right decisions. And as well, you will have to take the courage to ask deeper questions. Ask the why. Your body is always communicating with you. It is an intelligent part of our body is all constantly, every symptom, every feeling is trying to tell us something. And today's guest will share her story as well in knowledge and expertise. Today's guest understands both sides of the dental chair. Dr. Teresa Scott is a biological dentist, educator, speaker, mother, former president of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, and a stage four cancer survivor with more than three decades of experience in dentistry. But what makes her story so powerful is that her understanding of health didn't come only from textbooks or clinical practice. On her own journey through mercury toxicity and stage four cancer, changed the way she looked at the mouth, the body, healing, and ultimately the way she practiced dentistry. Today, Dr. Scott looks beyond symptoms to ask deeper questions about root causes, dental materials, airway, inflammation, and the connection between what happens in our mouths and what happens throughout our bodies. This conversation isn't about fear. This is never where I want to go, is give you any fear, but knowledge is power. And we're not given a lot of this information out there in the media. So I'm utilizing my podcast to have real life story as a truth seeker. It's about information, it's about informed consent, asking better questions and becoming an active participant in your own health. Dr. Teresa, welcome to Not Alone.

SPEAKER_00 3:04

Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_03 3:06

Yes, thank you. It's been an honor, and I always love how there are no coincidence that our cross, you know, her path has crossed. And I'm deeply honored. I know you've been quite a mentor for many dentists that I know personally for your mission. And Teresa, you were a dentist for years before being diagnosed from stage four cancer. What did becoming the patient teach you about health that being the doctor never could?

SPEAKER_00 3:37

That's actually a really good question. Um I think what it taught me more than anything was that I couldn't hand my fate over to somebody else. I needed to own it for myself. I needed to be responsible for my own choices, and I needed to, you know, if I was gonna fight, if I was gonna, you know, to to survive this thing, then I was going to have to fight for everything that I was worth, even when nobody was looking. Because, you know, it's a lot of people unfortunately, like they'll um, you know, they'll they if if other people are watching, they may uh, you know, they may say one thing, but then behind closed doors, they maybe do do something else. You know what I mean? Um, but this was a fight for my life, and the only person I would have been cheating if I hadn't have taken ownership of myself would have been me, right? So what it taught me more than anything was to take ownership from my choices and and fully accept the consequences of them, good or bad, you know, and it it's thankfully I survived that, you know, and it was a great uh consequence of me taking control over my choices, over your choices and your story now can help, you know, inspire somebody else to to make an action as well, to see kind of these little signs leading up.

SPEAKER_03 5:13

I'd love to, you know, what did you begin questioning about your own environment, your dental career, and the exposures you had experienced? So, you know, when you had you were faced with that diagnosis, what had to kind of crumble?

SPEAKER_00 5:27

What was so actually three, I had been a biological dentist for three years before my diagnosis. So um I went to an IABDM meeting in 2012, in October of 2012, so exactly three years uh before, and I'd heard um Bill Henderson, a man named Bill Henderson, speak about natural cancer cures. And that was about six months after my own dad had died from cancer, his mom had died from cancer. Every woman on both sides of my family has died from colon cancer, of all things, right? Um, so it was really interesting that what got me was endometrial cancer because nobody had a history of that in my family, right? Um, but I got endometrial cancer and I was diagnosed in October uh 2015 with you know the initial diagnosis, and then on in December 2015, December 1st, 2015 was when they told me it was grade four, stage four B. Um, so it was in my bones. Um it was like I already knew at that point because of the lectures I'd heard from Bill Henderson, that if cancer ever got me, I was never going to choose to do chemo. Like it took three years of percolating, right? I was becoming a biological dentist, you know, uh stronger in all of that because my decision to become biological was October of 2012, right? So at that point I'd been a biological dentist for all of three years, right? And um the whole time my life had been cleaning itself up. I'd been, you know, I'd started doing the safe mercury amalgam removal at work, and I had started, you know, like we'd we started giving up fluoride and we'd started using ozone at work and so on and so forth. But at the end of the day, like the damage from the 17 years of mercury toxicity plus, you know, my history of trauma and and just everything else, because it's everything that contributes, it's not just heavy metals that did it for me. I don't detox, like my genetics are literally like the world's worst. Do you have the M T H F R gene? Is that yeah, but I only have one bad copy of that one. I have two bad copies of M T R C M uh C O M T M A O A and Cytochrome P uh 450. Like, I I've got I've got like bad, bad, bad genetics. I the when my doctor did the the genetics tests on me, she told me that my ability to detox was maybe 20% of what the average person's is.

SPEAKER_03 8:06

And I'm like, yay me, you know, so so considering the environmental toxins that we have on a daily basis, you know, we could go back to the back. Yeah, that's what I know.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

And so for me, it had been adding up my entire life, right? The fluoride, the mercury, the BPAs, the the fact that whenever we drill on anything in in the office, like if you're doing lab work and you're drilling on acrylic or if you're drilling on the the plaster, you know, the the the stone models, all of those things, they didn't tell me in dental school that I needed to wear a mask for that stuff, right? Um turns out that dentists and and dental lab techs and stuff have a 22 times higher rate of pulmonary fibrosis, not 22%, 22 times higher rates of pulmonary fibrosis because of like really doing the lab work. I had no idea, you know, and what do I struggle with now? I struggle with like my lungs and so on and so forth, too. So, yes, I was wearing the the masks at that point, you know, but I had spent 17 years practicing dentistry conventionally, not really worrying about breathing in the stone, not worrying at all about breathing in the mercury. Not what I was like, what do you mean? They told us in dental school it was fine, you know. Uh yeah, it's fine if you can detox, you know, it's not really fine, but it's better if you can detox. But when you don't know, and you never know unless you do a genetic test on literally everybody, you don't know who has the ability to detox and who doesn't. And so at that point, you're looking at, all right, well, this is a crapshoot. Am I gonna drill on this patient and are they gonna be able to detox or not? You know, because I worked on a lady once, one tiny little, tiny, tiny little buckle amalgam, and it threw her thyroid over the edge. Okay, you know, completely through her thyroid over the edge. She wasn't she and and it we did it with the SMART protocol, but her body wasn't ready, you know. So it's not just about doing it.

SPEAKER_03 10:17

Probably just manifests as well. You said it earlier, it's not just the heavy metals, it's also the past traumas, like how much are they holding everything? Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:26

Yeah, it's whether or not they have mold exposure, if they have autoimmune diseases, if they have Lyme disease, if they have like there's so much that we're exposed to, right? And so her particular body was in a place where it couldn't even tolerate the SMART protocol on a tiny, tiny little filling, right? It threw her thyroid over the edge for two solid years. You know, it took her two years to get her thyroid back. I had no idea about that when I did it, you know. Like I own that. Like I had no idea.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:59

But those are the things we learn with experience. Now, if you look at, and and I've I've come to like I have the philosophy of forgive yourself for the things you didn't know until you learned them, that that that only experience could teach, right? So I did the very best I could, and then when I learned better, I did better.

SPEAKER_03 11:19

Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably the hard part for most general dentists to to start seeing because ultimately we have to put a mirror saying, Oh, some of the things we've been doing is actually, you know, creating some illnesses, you know, causes harm. And that is really hard for most of them to forgive themselves. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 11:37

You know, you got to look in the mirror and and and say, oh, my stars. And at the end of the day, you have two choices. And that was the same two choices that I faced, right? It's either quit doing dentistry, you know, or learn to marry what you do, which is dentistry, with what the with the paradigm shift that comes when you learn all about this stuff. Because we're, I'm I'm not into beating people up. I'm not into beating myself up. I do the very best I can with the knowledge I have. You know what I mean? But so many people are there beating themselves up, going, well, if I if I admit that I caused harm, oh my gosh, the world is going to end. I'm like, no, you're finally going to be able to be honest with yourself and move forward in integrity instead of burying your head in the sand.

SPEAKER_03 12:29

Yeah, because we all know suppression of our own truth. If we we know it, you see it clinically. And I know that a lot of people see it clinically, but they don't they don't want to shine that truth because it's a mirror. But they're it's gonna affect them physically to suppress that truth. And the more they shine. So I'm curious now when you're talking about you know what patients now can you don't know if they're gonna be able to detox. Do you have a different protocol now that you would do? Do you would you get them to do uh detox before any procedures like that now? Or how would you do it differently?

SPEAKER_00 13:01

Nowadays, we have our functional patients work with their functional medicine doctor, uh, you know, and we ask them to have their functional medicine doctor prepare their methylation pathways. It's not something that I do as a dentist that's practicing medicine without a license, right? So what I do is I work with my functional medicine practitioners who are phenomenal, you know, and they are the ones who have to deal with the patient afterwards anyway, when there's any kind of mercury removal, because they're the ones who chelate them. You know, it's not the dentist who chelates the patient, it's the medical doctor, the functional medicine practitioner, the nurse practitioner, whoever it is that they go see, right? It's those people who are chelating them. So it's important that those people learn, right, how to um how to deal with a patient, how to identify a patient whose uh heavy metals toxic, right? How to deal with them, how to get the metals out safely for the patient, which means they gotta learn the genetics, right? And they got to know who is pay who is capable of clearing the stuff from their system and who is gonna need a lot of support, right?

SPEAKER_03 14:15

Yeah, so I love that you're bridging. I'm meeting a lot of biological dentists, that's what they do. They they find, you know, they they collaborate with other health practitioners. And I love that some health practitioner, functional practitioners said, Go, I will work with you, but you gotta see a biological dentist first, see what's in the mouth, see if there's an infection, because even if they start trying to detox it, reduce inflammation, oftentimes they got to look at the mouth too. So collaboration and communication between healthcare providers, I think is is vital.

SPEAKER_00 14:45

Yeah, and the problem is that unfortunately, um, they don't teach any dentistry to the function, you know, to the medicine medical community. They get one hour, you know, like they don't even know like the tooth numbers or anything. They get one hour, that's it, you know, and there's no no concept of that oral systemic connection whatsoever. And if they actually do um uh you know have a concept of the oral systemic connection, sometimes it doesn't, it just doesn't click, you know, and so because I'm sorry, but you know, you can read uh an article, right, in in um in an in a journal. And the problem is is that then you go on with your life, right? You're like, okay, I read the article in the journal, and it doesn't click. But if you encounter Lisa, right, who is 48 years old, who had who has seven amalgams in her mouth, who, you know, is having all of these issues and so on and so forth, and she's got um a couple of root canals, and she's got, you know, she it all these things. If you're actually thinking about it because you screen for it, because the vast majority of doctors look past the uvula behind it, right? They don't they don't even look past the lips, they look past the uvula, they go further back, they don't even look at the teeth, they don't see it, they don't have any questions about it, etc. So you've got Lisa with two root canals, seven um amalgams. Um uh she's had all her wisdom teeth pulled, and you have and she's had um a narrow palate, right? And she doesn't sleep well and she's got all these issues, right? And then all of a sudden, she's like, I'm not the you know, like her CRP is up and she's um you know, she's uh just not functionally optimal, right? She breaks a tooth, puts something on Facebook, says, gosh, you know, I I I broke a tooth. What do I, you know, like who do who has a dentist that I that they could recommend? And somebody goes, you know, you you might want to, you know, she puts a picture, like I broke this tooth. See, you know how some people do that. You know, and and they go, um, you you might want to go to the, you know, you might want to go to a biological dentist for that, you know, like somebody, somebody looks there and somebody on social media, because we've got so many smart moms out there, you know, and they're actually like learning, and they're like, you might want to go see somebody. That's a lot of mercury in your mouth. So that's how she finds somebody, right? But sometimes it's like my other patient, Sharon, right? Who um, because these are people in the book I'm writing, right? Uh, my other patient, Sharon, who had a tiny, tiny little filling, itty bitty, you know. And she wasn't holistic to begin with, you know, like she's she thinks she's she's doing the right thing. She's seeing a nurse practitioner, you know, she goes, she has this thing drilled out, all of a sudden her thyroid tanks, and she's like, I'm so tired, and I just can't, like the brain fog is so bad. And of course, she's in her 50s. Oh, it must be menopause. Oh, you're just depressed. You need to, you need to do some counseling. Oh, you know, da-da-da-da-da. And nobody's looking at the fact that she just had some dental work done that tanked her because of the mercury. You know, like people just don't think and they don't put those dots together. No, right?

SPEAKER_03 18:16

No, they don't. They don't.

SPEAKER_00 18:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:18

And I love that you're writing a book. Oh, yeah, my goal too. And I love that you're writing books. So if someone listening right now, they're like, oh my gosh, I do have the silver fillings, the amalgam fillings in my mouth. And who do I see? Because, like you said, even taking them out will have some sort of exposure, even if they're using the SMART protocol, which is if your body isn't ready, right?

SPEAKER_00 18:41

So you want to make sure you're working with a good functional medicine practitioner if possible, right? That's always important. But really, like even with the functional medicine practitioners who are listening to this, right? You need to find somebody who actually is policing the people who are supposed to be doing the mercury removal correctly. And I wish I could tell you that everybody is earnest and honest and they're doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do. But I I know because I've seen it in my own practice, right? I've seen patients come to me from a dentist, you know, uh a few miles away or a dentist across town who told them they were doing one thing and then bait and switched it. And I, you know, like it's just because a person is a member of the IAOMT or the IABDM, just because they're members, doesn't guarantee that they're doing the right thing. And so what, and that's I think why Nicole referred me to you. Um it what I decided to do out of sheer frustration was start a consumer education and advocacy platform called Aura Biologics. So it's ORABiologics.com, right? It's free. It's consumer education and advocacy, so there is no cost to the consumer to read the articles. I've written, um, I've written a hundred and ten, a hundred and ten resource library articles full of the science, right? Because I'm a science nut, right? But then I've also written, um there's also like a list of growing webinars as well. And of course, we'd love to have you on there.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

Oh, thank you. I'd be honored.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

I'd be honored. Uh, you know, but the idea is to um, you know, to educate consumers about all of the things in the oral systemic connection. I'm not into shaming people, I'm not into making people feel bad about their choices. I'm I'm into the idea that you, you know, you learn when you're ready and when you, you know, you forgive yourself for the things you didn't know until experience taught you and like that kind of stuff. So that's that's how I approach all of the teaching that I do. I'm not here to tell people, oh, shame on you, you're doing this. That's completely unproductive.

SPEAKER_03 21:02

Yeah, no, I love that because yeah, so many people say, Well, show me articles and show me this. Is there science? And it says, Yes, there is. And also I have so many stories, like just personal stories, right? That is proof right there. But the articles and bringing science. And I love how you mentioned before we started is that you have to be mindful too why there might not be as many articles, because you know, big pharma is in control in a lot of these articles, right?

SPEAKER_00 21:30

And um, yeah, you end up seeing articles in a lot of independent journals, but you know, it is growing. So, for example, there are now meta-analyses about fluoride neurotoxicity. Like they're not there's not just a meta-analysis as the analysis over the effects of something in, you know, over in all of society over time. So it's it's not just uh it's not just one study with four people. In it kind of thing. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_01 22:01

Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_00 22:02

Um, and now there are meta-analyses about the fluoride toxicity and about um how it lowers children's IQ, right? Yeah, IQ is the floor. Yeah, the higher the fluoride, too. Also, so it's it's IQ, it messes with the thyroid and it um it causes your bones to break. So all these little old ladies who are fracturing their hips, that's why, right? It's it's high fluoride levels. And then, you know, the problem is they're putting the little old ladies on fluoride toothpastes, right? Um prescription fluoride toothpaste when they hit menopause because they get dry mouth, right? Um, and so they're loading on that fluoride, and then eventually their tissues are thinner, etc., and their bones get brittle and they fall and they break a hip, and that's why. You know, so there's there's all this research that's happening. And so I've got hundreds and hundreds of articles in my reference library uh for my book that I'm you know, I'm I'm categorizing everything, I'm writing the chapters in a way that anybody can read it because I'm not a fan of um, I'm not a fan of journal articles. They're so dry. And they it's like they play the game. They play the game where, you know, like who can say the most big words to try to make it as confusing as possible? Like it's it's not easy to read those things.

SPEAKER_03 23:26

No, and I'm glad you recognize that because I do a lot of people don't want to even read it, they get bored and they can't understand. Even sometimes I have guests and they'll get really technical on things. I'm like, no, no, just keep it where it's simple, it's easy to look at it.

SPEAKER_00 23:39

It's understandable.

SPEAKER_03 23:40

Right. I just had Dr. David Porter on not too long ago, and he wrote the book AIM. Have you read that one before?

SPEAKER_00 23:47

Which one?

SPEAKER_03 23:48

Uh AIM, it's called AIM, and it's from Dr. David Porter. He's in Wyoming, and I liked it. It was only 70 pages too. And so I said, Oh, it explains airway, explains uh metals, it explains infections so well. So, what what what is gonna be uh your the title of your book?

SPEAKER_00 24:05

Well, it's not finalized right now. The working title is called Before You Refer, and it's a it's a uh a primer for functional medicine and uh healthcare professionals to help them understand the the oral systemic connection. But again, it's a working title because that's a little long, you know.

SPEAKER_03 24:27

Teaching the functional medicine and so building that bridge that we so need. How many times um we had patients you know being sent to the ER and you know they don't even know what to do with the tooth infection? And I've had a friend, personal friend, who from a root canal at 42 had a heart attack and had to have us in all starting from that, but they never uh you know they never thought at the hospital any doctors were that was the root cause.

SPEAKER_00 24:53

Oh my gosh, I had a patient. I had a patient who came in. She had a stroke. She came in a few a couple months ago. She had a stroke in April? No, something like that. Like four months before I saw her, I guess. She came in and um she said, Do I have any dental like problems or anything like that? She said, I had a stroke four months ago, and the neurologist can't figure out why. The neurologist never thought to ask her to go see a dentist. Not I mean that should have been that there was no connection there. I saw this poor lady and she had two giant abscesses on her max uh, you know, maxillary first and second molars. Giant, giant abscesses connected right to the sinus. The infection was right there, fulminary in the sinus. The sinus is a direct connection to the brain. Yeah, you know. So could these can I tell you for sure that it caused her stroke? No, I haven't done the histology on it, right? I mean, I have no idea. But is there a is there an actual causal link? Yeah, actually, I believe I learned it in 2012. Those were the other people that I listened to in um when I went to that very first IABDM meeting. Their names are Drs. Brad Bale and Amy Donin. Uh, and they wrote this book called Beat the Heart Attack Gene. Right. And in that book, there was a study that they that uh they had found that showed that 78% of the blood clots from strokes and embolisms have the bacteria in them associated with dead teeth.

SPEAKER_03 26:33

I believe it. I've been hearing that from many biological dentists and and exactly I hear that too often. And what about even a breast cancer, right? I've had many biological dentists because you you had cancer as well. Now, can you relate about did you can you run back to your maybe um you said heavy metals and maybe your life then? Like what where was your nervous system and past traumas?

SPEAKER_00 27:01

I had a very abusive childhood, that's where my trauma comes from. Um, but at the end of the day, um in my case, it wasn't like root canals. I don't have any in my mouth, right? And I don't have any cavitations. I'm very fortunate that way. Mine was rooted in trauma and mercury toxicity and mold toxicity. So that's where my cancer was. Um, but the stud the the thing that you're referring to about breast cancer and root canals and so on and so forth. So there's this doctor named Dr. Thomas Rao. He's uh he was at the time that he did his uh chart review, uh he was the clinical director of the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland. He was coming in as the young doctor, you know, trying to help uh trying to help his patients. And so he was doing what any good clinical director does, a chart review. So all he did was he's like, okay, I've got 150 breast cancer patients, right? What do they have in common? What but he put all the data together that they had gathered. What do they have in common? 147 of those women had uh been diagnosed with breast cancer, you know, that had been diagnosed with breast cancer. 147 of them had a root canal on the same side directly above where their breast cancer was located. Right? All right, now is that a smoking gun? I I think you need a little bit more studying, right? Um, but do I a thousand percent believe that there is a link between uh, you know, between uh root canals and breast cancer? At this point, having seen what I've seen, I'm not gonna deny it. You know, there's enough research that shows, and you don't even have to like do it in terms of root canals. There is so much research. There's like 20 different kinds of cancers that can be associated with the bacteria found in periodontal disease. 20 different kinds of cancers, plus Alzheimer's, plus cardiovascular, right? 50% of all heart attacks are caused by active oral infections, right? And then we talked about the 78% of the blood clots from strokes and embolisms. Like the numbers are there, and I've got hundreds and hundreds of articles at this point in that uh library that I've been amassing for the last uh several months, uh, you know, that shows all of that science. You know, so I'm excited about all the science that I've found because it could have been buried. Yes, you know, it could have been buried. And I honestly believe it it has been buried. It has been buried.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

And actually, in fact, the the pioneers, you know, I'm sure have you heard of dentists trying to bring out this truth, it had death threats, right? Yeah. And we're lucky now we live in an era that we have a little bit more freedom, and and patients are wanting to to to it, they have a resonance almost when they hear about this. Uh, but it's still not mainstream, and I'm definitely trying to get it there and advocate patients to learn more. I'm just also curious how you pivoted from general dentistry into biological dentistry. Like what made you want to get curious or make that shift?

SPEAKER_00 30:09

So when my youngest daughter was born, she was allergic to every single commercial formula out there, and I couldn't breastfeed. And I'm actually grateful at this point that I couldn't breastfeed because mercury, when it does excrete from a woman's body, if she's mercury toxic, it excretes through the breast milk. So I'm grateful that I didn't poison her more because I was she was she's still she's 17 years old now, she's almost 18, and she still tests high in mercury. Because it's epigenetic.

SPEAKER_03 30:37

I see that in my own children because I'm uh you know, 99% sure my husband had mercury poisoning on top of a lot of emotional, you know, traumas as well. But but it's epigenetic. Both my kids, you know, they have the MTHFR gene and we found mercury, and so it's epigenetic as well.

SPEAKER_00 30:57

Yeah, it's the damage. Like I again, and I've had to learn how to forgive myself from that, you know, because I drilled on lots of mercury, you know, while I was pregnant with my children. Absolutely buckets of it, right? No protection because I still wasn't biological. Nowadays, man, I wear a spacesuit, you know, but when they were born, I had no, so they were exposed to a lot and me just directly breathing it, right? So I've had to learn to like literally talk myself off that ledge and go, Teresa, you did the very best you could with what the knowledge that you had. And when you got better knowledge, you did better, you know. And so since then, we have gone completely clean in our lives, right? Since they were born. Promise the reason she couldn't uh tolerate uh the formulas, right? So that caused me to research homemade formulas because we tried to do the the um donated breast milk, right? Uh it was four dollars and twenty-five cents an ounce. Oh wow, right back then. It's actually closer to five dollars an ounce now, right? An ounce. So yeah, that's not actually. I had this conversation last weekend. I I said, breast milk is like gold. It is, man. And it was so expensive. And so I was like, there's gotta be a different answer to this because mothers have died in childbirth for millennia, right? Sometimes mothers can't breastfeed, regardless of whether they're healthy, whatever. Sometimes they can't. And a cow or a goat is not always available, or you know, like I'm saying, like there may not be a nurse made available, whatever. And so I was like, there's got to be an answer to this. So I did my research and I found the Weston Price Foundation, and God bless the man, he was a dentist. He loved, loved, loved genetic anthropology, and he did all of this research on you know nutrition and genetic anthropology. But what he, because had he been a medical doctor, he would not have looked at the mouth, you know. But because he was a dentist, he looked at the mouth, and that was his gift to the rest of the world, right? So, anyway, through his uh research and stuff, though I found the Western Price Foundation, I found out the recipe for the homemade uh baby formula made with raw cow's milk, and she thrived on it. Absolutely thrived. And so that was, you know, like she went from projectile vomiting to no problems whatsoever.

SPEAKER_03 33:35

You know, this is really good information.

SPEAKER_00 33:37

I have never even heard that the homemade, you know, you can make homemade baby formula, and you know, there's a recipe and it's on the Weston Price uh uh website, so it's it's right there. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:50

This is really good to even have a video of it. Wow, and then and then I'd love to hear kind of the resistance, like you're in it too. You know, there there's seems to be some people, you know, there are dentists and say this mercury thing, I've never even heard of it. This is not really a thing, because it didn't it what they know it didn't affect them, but they don't really know maybe a symptom was due because of that, or maybe they were able to detox much easier. But uh maybe their other dental friends had these symptoms, but it was never rooted back to the toxicity in the environment.

SPEAKER_00 34:25

So, I mean, everybody's on their own journey, right? And it usually takes either the person themselves getting sick or somebody very close to them getting sick for them to find the paradigm shift. Yeah, you know, I've seen because yeah, because I mean we believe what we're told in dental school, we're they're like it's safe. Well, if it's safe, then you know, we don't question. And you know, medical school's the same way, so I'm not I'm not mad at the at the medical doctors anymore than I'm mad at the dentists. I have fabulous conventional dentistry friends, they're wonderful. They think I'm a little kooky, you know, but at the end of the day, because they've seen my work and they've seen my reasoning and so on and so forth, over the years, I have gained their respect. They're not necessarily like the ones that actually have gotten to know me. I belong to this group called Mommy Dentists in Business, right? And I tend to be the one that they call when there is, you know, a um a question about biological dentistry. And I've got my group on Facebook where I created it very specifically to teach female dentists, particularly, not male dentists, sorry guys, y'all aren't welcome. Um, but the reason is is because women dentists working in their prime, right, we're getting pregnant, right? And we're having babies. And guess what the placenta does with mercury? It concentrates it. So whatever goes from the mama to the baby, they find more of it in the cord blood and in the baby than the mama, because her body is trying to, it's not necessarily that it's trying to get rid of it as if it's a toxin, because mercury tricks the body into thinking that it's it's a nutrient, right? The problem is is that because it tricks the body into thinking it's a nutrient, then the placenta recognizes it as at nutrient as nutrition, and then it concentrates it and gives it to the baby. You know? So a woman who has mercury fillings in her mouth should absolutely not be getting those things drilled on while she's pregnant or breastfeeding. Because the two places that that mercury is gonna go is into the placenta and into the into the baby, and then into her breast milk afterwards when she's breastfeeding. So absolutely no drilling on any mercury when you're pregnant or breastfeeding, if there's any possibility of avoiding it.

SPEAKER_03 37:02

This is good information because some of the moms might think, oh, I want to get rid of it now. You know, I know this is not now.

SPEAKER_00 37:08

If you're already pregnant, yeah, you've lost your window. Like just know.

SPEAKER_03 37:12

Yeah, because you never hear about that. I've never even heard about that for the placenta and how your body tricks things that it's a yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:19

And it's actually in the articles on oral biologic. I already have it, I already have it in the articles on blu on oral biologics, all of the the stuff for mercury and pregnancy and so on and so forth. So it's in there. It's now there. The website is being upgraded for oral biologics. So I think until Monday, uh, it's probably still not working because we've decided to upgrade it. We have we've developed an app and everything. So we're really excited about it, right?

SPEAKER_03 37:44

That is really exciting. I can't wait to see it. And if you know, mom or women dentists listening and they want to join that Facebook group, what's the name of it or how can they find it?

SPEAKER_00 37:54

So the the group, the Facebook group for the community, right, for the consumer, is called uh holistic health and biological dentistry. And if it's if the Facebook group for female dentists is called Biological Dentistry 101 for women dentists, um you actually have to prove that you're a dentist to get in.

SPEAKER_03 38:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:15

Uh so yeah, that's that's important.

SPEAKER_03 38:18

Yes, that is very important information. Now, I had a few questions here that I didn't want to forget. So what are we seeing in children today that parents may think is behavioral, developmental, or simply normal when you believe we should also be looking at their mouth, jaw, and airway.

SPEAKER_00 38:36

Oh gosh. Um, so it's that we're seeing a lot of tongue ties, lip ties, stuff like that, right? And uh in my articles and in my book as well. Um, but the articles were already written, the book is not. Uh what you're looking for in the young children is if you're seeing cavities on two and three-year-olds, in that case, I would be looking for a tongue tie, and uh I would be looking at the fact that their palate is too narrow and they're they're mouth breathing.

SPEAKER_03 39:07

They're mouth breathing breathing. If you're not gonna be able to do it, even if they're like because I see so many kids thumb sucking. Right, right.

SPEAKER_00 39:12

But did you know that the whole reason that kids thumb suck is because the palate needs the stimulation, and if the tongue can't reach it, the thumb will.

SPEAKER_03 39:21

Okay, I knew this whole nervous system regulation. They're they're they're trying, they can't self-regulate. And so it's a it's a way, but I didn't know that it's because the tongue can't reach uh the palate. The palate.

SPEAKER_00 39:34

Right. So in the sucking motion of breastfeeding and so on and so forth, that breast is up against the palate, and the tongue is also up against the palate. So they're literally sucking, right? And then the tongue is massaging the bottom of the breast to get the milk out, right? It's supposed to reach that, and it it's that very motion with the water, the broad uh breast and the broad nipple and the broad uh tongue that's supposed to shape the palate. And when a baby is not breastfed, remember, I'm not shaming anybody, my children were not breastfed, but when a baby is not breastfed, it will uh, and particularly with the nipples that are not um that are narrower and so on and so forth, it literally makes their tongue not work the way that it should to create that broad palate, right? And then so the thumb is is literally trying to trying to do that, but the thumb is much narrower than the tongue. And so what you get is either an open bite or a very tall, skinny, narrow palate. So yeah, thumb sucking is not good. Yeah, uh, but it happens because that's it. If you're seeing that in in uh a small child, they have a tongue tie almost always tie all the time.

SPEAKER_03 40:48

And then I know you know, I even struggled that, you know, my husband was a dentist, hygienist, and my son sucked two fingers. And I know the struggle of trying to take it away from them, but also now I did understand that he had a tongue tie, wound-up nervous system, you know, the colic, and there's just so many things that uh that got passed on to him, you know, when he was just in vitro and the state.

SPEAKER_00 41:12

But that's also just that's also it's not just that, it's generational nutritional injuries. So the Weston Price work, and then also um Francis Pottinger, right? They were compatriots right about the same time. So uh Francis Pottinger did his work on um he did he studied a group of 500 cats over a period of 10 years. And one group of cats, he fed them raw meat and raw milk, which is what they're supposed to do, right? The other groups he fed them cooked meat and or cooked milk. And then he let them do what cats do, have babies, right? And so he studied each successive generation of babies with the dietary observation, you know, the dietary groups. And what he what he noticed is the very first uh generation of babies had uh that were that were not on the raw meat, raw milk diet. The first generation of baby and the the cooked milk the was uh uh pasteurized milk, uh sweet and condensed milk, evaporated milk, and powdered milk. Okay, so those were the four. So the sweet and condensed milk, he decided let's add sugar to it. So anyway, um the first generation of babies had crooked teeth. Okay. Second generation of babies had crooked teeth and scoliosis. The third generation of babies had crooked teeth, some congenitally missing teeth, scoliosis, and hip dysplasias. And by the fourth generation, those cats could no longer have babies. Really?

unknown 42:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 42:43

All right, now look at what's happening in our society today, okay? And I want you to understand that it is society-wide, okay, because the problem happen has actually been happening progressively through society, because we're talking nine billion people at this point, right? So it had to start somewhere. It started about five to seven hundred years ago with rich people, right? The the nobility were the people who could afford to pay for somebody else to cook and for to have the the more refined flour, the softer foods, and so on and so forth. And so they could pay for that, okay? And so who what did the nobility look like? Because between intermarrying, right? Because they didn't want to lose their money, right? But also they were the ones who had the bad teeth, and that's why you'd see all these like ladies fanning themselves, right? They were hiding their smiles because they had rotten teeth, right? Or you'd find other fashion things that they would do to hide teeth, right? It was all because of that. It was the rich people that started it, but then we had the Industrial Revolution, and we had like right around uh World War I. Right is when we started having massive uh uh commercialization of foods, preparation of foods, all of the you know, like convenience type stuff because they were selling to the moms who were busy who had to go work because their husbands were at war, right? Yeah, the microwave dinners and all of that started coming up, and then that started happening right in the 60s because you know they found the microwave. So that's like what 60 years ago now? Scary to think that it's 60 years ago. Uh, but anyway, all of those things, right? Each successive generation of humanity has been getting worse and worse. And so what are we seeing happening? When I started in dentistry just 30 years ago, right? It was rare for me to see people who had congenitally missing teeth. I see congenitally missing teeth all the time now, right? Yes, but it was already happening because this has been a growing problem for the last 500 years, right? So nowadays, what are we seeing? A dramatic rise in infertility. Yes. How many people do you know of? In fact, this is what I tell people how many kids do you know of that don't need braces? They don't exist anymore, right? How many people do you know of right now who have chronic back knee, neck, and hip problems? Virtually everybody, right? How many people do you know of right now who are struggling with fertility? How many? How many we're seeing all over the place? Thirty years ago, fertility specialists were very rare. There was one in all of Houston, right? There's like a ton of them now. They're practically around every corner. It's become a bona fide specialty. You know, so there's something and our art you can see it, our population is struggling. We're, you know, it's decreasing, it's going down. In some areas, like in China, where they had the one child policy, they're paying for it now because they have not enough, you know, not enough women for all the men, you know, but at the end of the day, they're having trouble with fertility. You know, same thing here. We're having women are genuinely having trouble with fertility. And they have all these excuses. Oh, well, you know, women are choosing to have babies later, etc. And I'm like, yeah, but I don't think that it's all that.

SPEAKER_03 46:35

No, because over time, more decades pass on, the more you you accumulate these environmental factors and the processed foods and the the all the the xenoestrogens and so on and so forth.

SPEAKER_00 46:48

Like we're literally practically injecting them into people with all the plastics and so on and so forth. So, you know, it's just things that we don't even think about anymore, but they're they're there, they're for real, they're not, they're not, it's not a lie. And it's compounding over time because our society is advancing technologically, right? And things are more convenient and more flashy and more, you know, like more ooh, ah, and you know, they're very good at the marketing. And so we want all those things, you know. So yeah, it's it's becoming a very common thing.

SPEAKER_03 47:21

Yeah, I've seen I've heard that as well with other, I had Dr. Seb on, and he talked about, yeah, the narrowing of the mouth. Is if you think of um, you know, thousand thousand years ago, you know, moms breastfed up until they were four years old, and then it was on solid foods, which shapes the jaw and and you know, helps the the tongue posture and everything. So now we've moved, moms have to go back to work. I've had so many dentists' friends, they they have to, you know, pump or bring their babies to work and they breastfeed in between. Like it's just they they they can't. They have to give formula because they have to go to work, right? And or they have to go to daycare. And and so uh we've moved so far away, and or with all these little pouches that we give our kids now have filled with.

SPEAKER_00 48:04

Oh, yeah, those pouches are so convenient. Yes, they're so my daughters had those pouches. Oh, I know, yeah. But I was so proud of myself because I was like, look, it's organic, you know, and it was still processed food. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_03 48:21

My first child everything for her, all this stuff. But then yeah, second child, you're just so busy now. I don't have time to pre-make all his food. So I did all the pouches, organic. But um, yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_00 48:34

I'm real proud of myself for that, you know. But nowadays, like I just know, eat whatever I'm eating, and the baby gets it too. It's like there's no, you don't have to cook anything extra, you don't have to do anything extra. Because, like, literally, the whole point of baby-led weeding is you put it in front of the baby, you know, and you let the baby eat what it wants to eat. Yeah, you know, and if it has to rip and tear and shred the meat, that's what they're supposed to do. And, you know, are they gonna potentially choke a little bit? Yeah, that's why you watch them, you know. But the idea is to teach them how to chew properly, you know, and people are so afraid that the baby is going to choke, you know, that they they cut things into tiny little pieces. You don't actually teach the child to rip, tear, shred to develop those jaw muscles. So it's actually really important that our babies you give them a big old bone to gnaw on, you know, with a lot of gristle on it and stuff. It's important that they get that. It really is.

SPEAKER_03 49:33

Yeah, I think we're just finding out that we need to go back. We've backtracked a little bit. We've gone too far away from how we were meant to be raised. And and we're seeing that now so much with biological dentists, they have to, you know, repair airway, and people are not taking on the right amount of oxygen, and we need oxygen and affecting uh the stress on our body. It's just such a ripple effect. So I'm I'm just so honored that I love that you're writing your book, and I think it's gonna be so important because, yes, you know, many of the physicians out there, the doctors, they they are asking for article, they're asking for science. And now, you know, it's sometimes it's gonna be in that one book, and you have all your cases as well, which I think was through stories. That's why I share stories. That's you know, I'm the same way.

SPEAKER_00 50:21

I just think we learn better when we can when we can relate.

SPEAKER_02 50:25

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 50:26

And when something is so dry that, like practically you feel like you're in the Sahara Desert, that's not an easy thing to swallow. You know what I mean? And so you're like, okay, uh, you know, but if you read it and you're like, this is like a storybook, and I'm just gonna read one chapter and I'm gonna see if I can recognize one of my patients in there, right? And they go and they read it and they're like, oh my gosh, I have a patient just like that.

SPEAKER_03 50:50

Yeah, just for planting the seeds almost to see it, because now too, I I still temp a biological dentist or a temp, you know, just general dentist, and now I can't unsee it. You know, when I'm probing around where there's a root canal and there's like a moderate amount of bleeding and nothing on the other teeth, there's obviously something going on there, right? Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 51:10

Yeah. And now I have actually culture it. You know, you can actually culture it. I think uh DNA connections has this little thing where basically you take a paper point or something and you you put it down into the sulcus and you send it off, uh, you know, and they'll culture it to figure out what bacteria are in there. But like um it, I don't know that in all of the offices that you temp in and so on and so forth, that they have a microscope. But like when we're doing cleanings on patriot patients in our office, we have a microscope, and every single patient, including the little kids, gets a microscope slide. And they're, you know, we're we're actually looking at the microscope, and you would not believe the number of people who have spirochetes, little kids who have buckets of spirochetes in their mouths. Oh, wow. You know, it's like, oh my god, I want one of those.

SPEAKER_03 51:57

I want to work at your office. I'm so curious in nature, and I'm like, I want to see. I I had Dr. Carande on and he showed me a picture of this long parasite as he's taken out the distraction.

SPEAKER_00 52:09

Oh my gosh, yes, I saw one of those. I took Dr. Simon Yu's course uh in May. Uh, and he's all about like cancer and parasites and so on and so forth. He does the acupuncture meridian assessment course. So I took his course in May and he showed us a picture. I swear to you, that the parasite was probably a foot long. That uh one of the doctors literally like they took a picture of it hanging from the from the extraction forcep. And I was like, never in my life had I imagined that you could find parasites in extraction sites and cavitations. And so I was like, oh, you know, but this young woman, you know, and she was her dad was a dentist, and he was actually at Dr. Yu's course, you know. So he and the other two doctors were like, Yeah, here's this, the, the, the slide of my daughter, and this is what Dr. You know, Gandhi did, and blah, blah, blah. I was like, oh my God, I had no idea. So, you know, you just keep learning.

SPEAKER_03 53:12

Yeah, you keep learning. I know I keep learning as well. And I I I just um I just want to continue, right? There's just gonna be continuing evolving. And so right now, as a consumer, you know, they're starting to ask better questions. Uh, you know, I keep thinking I'm gonna create this form where patients can ask dentists the right questions as to and advocate for their own health. Are they, you know, maybe your top five questions to ask a dentist as a consumer?

SPEAKER_00 53:42

So do your homework before you go into the dentist. And honestly, I would tell you like that's what that's what Ouro Biologics is trying to do because it's so hard to figure out who's sincere and who isn't. And we've turned down probably a good 50 people who have wanted to be on uh Oral Biologics as vetted providers. And you know, we we know that they are genuinely nice people as far as that goes, but they're not following like the protocols that they're supposed to be following. And we're like, we're sorry, you know, like if you, you know, if you ever decide to practice the way that, you know, that that um that the our the vetted people on our list are practicing, we'll be happy to have you, but you know, we're not going to uh advocate for fluoride and we're going to insist that you become smart certified and accredited with the IAOMT or a certified biological dentist and practice the Protect Protocol with the IABDM. And we're going to insist that you not put any titanium in the mouth, like you know, because the bait and switch technique uh technique there is they'll say, well, you know, yes, I offer both titanium and zirconia implants, but you know, zirconia implants are back ordered for a whole year, but I can put a titanium implant in you next week, you know. That's a bait and switch. That's not okay. Yeah, right. Uh and then root canals. Like, look, I'm not gonna stop anybody from having a root canal, but I'm not gonna do one in my office, you know. I'm gonna send them to an endodontist if they want to have one. I'm not a fan of root canals. I'm not a fan of root canals, right? But I work with an endodontist, right? Who, if the patient wants a root canal, they do it the root canal with laser and ozone, etc. I still believe that root canals disconnect the body's bioelectrical systems. I've seen enough people who have had the issues that, you know, I'm never going to advocate for a root canal unless a person is not finished growing. Right. So if a child, a nine-year-old, knocks his front tooth out, you know, and has to have it, you know, put back in and it's a vulse and you have to, or they fracture it to the nerve, they're not done. A nine-year-old boy is not finished growing or ready for a root canal until he's in his mid to late 20s, right? So that is a one-time thing where I'm like, yeah, that's the one where you might want to do the root canal. You need to buy yourself the time because if you pull the bone, I mean if you pull the tooth at that point, the bone is going to completely like shrink up, and that's gonna create a big problem.

SPEAKER_03 56:22

Okay, that's important because actually just over the weekend, uh, someone was sharing that her daughter is five years old that has had a root canal.

SPEAKER_00 56:30

And right. So, but was it on a baby tooth? Isn't it? Because baby teeth are okay. See, baby teeth are not going to, you're never gonna need to do an implant on a baby tooth. Do you see what I'm saying? Yes. But for adult teeth, they're nine years old, they they flip over the bike's handlebars, they cut, you know, uh cut their, you know, they they they chip their tooth all the way to the nerve. That tooth dies, right? The tooth, they have to keep that tooth until they're in their mid to late 20s, if possible. It's not always possible, right? Because sometimes it just doesn't matter what you do, it's gonna fail. But if possible, it's important to keep that tooth until the mid to late 20s. Then you can do the implant and it's fine, right? But until they're done growing and they're not really finished growing, skeletally speaking, they girls are done by about the time they're 16, boys are done till they're uh when they're 22. But what happens is after they're done growing heightwise, their faces broaden, their palates settle in. Every all of that stuff happens between the the late teens to the late 20s, right? So they're still growing, right? Um, and then the other people who yeah have to think about whether or not you're gonna do a root canal is people who have narrow palates and they need palatal expansion, right? Because you can't grow airways without teeth, you know. So, like if you don't have any molars, like I they have nothing to do a Marpe on, which is that surgical, surgically facilitated uh mini screw assisted rapid palatal expansion thing. They have nothing to anchor anything to if you don't have any molars. So if you have a tooth that died abscess because of clenching, because you don't have an airway, you know, those are the situations where you think about it and you're like, okay, let's weigh the risks, benefits, pros, cons, and consequences and decide what we're gonna do, you know, because you have to go with what aligns with you. But if you have no teeth, you can't expand an airway. So things to think about.

SPEAKER_03 58:27

Those are things. That's why it's never black and white, but I love that the education educate the patient. You have the knowledge, you have, you know, you like I love your your ethics, your values. You're so grounded in in your what you see, and you provide that for your patient and provide the the options. It's not black and white. And and I think that's important for patients to hear and just get the education, um, advocate for your own health, ask questions. And for dentists that are are just kind of dipping their toes in, you know, biological dentistry, uh, you know, there's I think joining, you know, getting it reaching you, someone I think shadowing or asking questions, uh, getting curious is just the first step. And I think um that's gonna be important. I feel like there needs to be a shift in the dental industry, but I there's so there's a little bit of resistance. And I think, you know, if we could reach the dental students, that'd be fantastic. But uh have you tried to educate in dental schools at all?

SPEAKER_00 59:31

So the dental schools of as I understand it, now this is obviously I've not heard this myself from uh you know from someone, but like the dental schools unfortunately are not very open to biological concepts. It's getting better. It's getting better. Tufts University uh had Dr. Gannati there teaching a cavitation course for a little while. So, you know, the it's getting better, you know, but it's it's very slow because, of course, again, like the Minim Minimata Convention, right, has decided that it's still okay in today's day and age, knowing how toxic Mercury is, the Minnemata Convention decided that they're still going to allow the US, right, to place amalgams, place them, not even just remove them, place them until 2034.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:28

Yeah, so it's oh so this is why I think education like platforms, it's like, oh my god, don't wait until the systems change.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:37

2034, right? So I count at least 50 years after 2034, right, for the last amalgam to finally leave the mouth in the world. Because some people have a silver filling in their mouth for 50 plush years, you know. So that's you know, I'm looking at it going, okay, well, in that case, 2034, that means that it'll take until 2084 to finally not have to do the SMART protocol, you know, to remove mercury from the mouth. This is 2084.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:18

This is important to you to understand why it's not mainstream right now and why don't wait till it's mainstream. Start finding a biological dentist and one that's you know on your platform that's vetted for. Uh, because I always say that too. Not all I live in Arizona and I think I have like maybe two offices that I would recommend, you know. Yeah. So it's not, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:42

Well our goal is to, you know, our goal is to make absolutely certain that we, you know, that we find the dentists who are like-minded, you know, um, and and will commit to that and agree to be monitored. It's like, you know, if you're practicing biologically, if you're doing the the stuff that you're supposed to do, monitoring is nothing, you know. But and the reason we do that is because unfortunately, the organizations that certify the dentists as biological dentists, what it comes down to is if you pay a membership fee, you get listed as a member on the website. The consumer thinks that if you're on the website, then you're certified to do the stuff that you need to do. Consumer knows no different. They do not understand that it's literally $500 a year membership or whatever. It's cheap advertising, right? So it's important to make sure that your dentist is actually doing the right thing, that they're going to the meetings, that they're that they're actually smart certified and accredited, that they're certified biological dentists with the IABDM, that they are, yeah, there's very few of us, very few of us in the US that are actually protect protocol certified. If you get an amalgam removed in my office, holy macaroni! We literally are wearing all the hazmat suits and we're covered all to here and so on and so our patients are wearing that too. We wrap the whole room in like plastic and so on and so forth because we are not joking about it because of my cancer diagnosis. And one of my team members also has stage four cancer, and we're not going back there. Yeah, you know, yeah.

I know some of them say now that pathological dentists they won't do them, they won't remove them because they want to be able to protect their health. They almost died of mercury poisoning and they want to future have babies, and so they just choose not to even remove them right now.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:39

But uh obviously we need to, but then at that point, who does? Right, right? At that point, who does? So it has to be done correctly, it has to be done, you know, with with protection for the team and the doctor, and it's not just about protecting the patient, it's literally trying to, and that's why my group is for women because I understand that the most dangerous years for us is our childbearing years, you know, and if we're pregnant and we are removing mercury from the mouth and we're breathing that stuff in, our babies are getting it. Yeah, you know, so I think it's important.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:17

Well, it is important. You're doing important work that will help, you know, save a lineage of, you know, families that might be sick and have these symptoms and carry that. And so bring that awareness is is vital and for the future dentistry as well to protect the providers and the patients. So I I'm I feel I can pick your brain on so many topics and maybe I'll have you on again. But uh you know, I'll put it in the show notes all your details, how people can find you and find all your groups because I think it's um it's important. And Dr. Scott, I think that I what I want people to take away from this conversation is that knowledge doesn't have to create fear, knowledge can create a choice. So I'm always saying that I say knowledge is power. Yeah, knowledge is power. I mean, I I feel fortunate that I have experts like you on because I I learn myself every time. There's always these other little nuggets that I had never heard. I had never heard about the placenta holding the mercury. You know, there's so many things that I learn, and now I will continue teaching others about it. And our bodies are constantly communicating with us, and sometimes the missing piece may be somewhere we haven't been taught to look like the mouth. Your story reminds us why it's important to ask questions, understand what is being put into our bodies, understand the options available to us, and find practitioners who are willing to look at the whole person rather than one isolated symptom. And I especially appreciate that your perspective comes not only from more than 30 years as a dentist, but from becoming the patient yourself and facing stage four cancer. To everyone listening, you don't have to know everything about medicine or dentistry to advocate for yourself. You just have to be willing to ask why. Keep asking questions, keep seeking information. And remember, you are never truly alone. This is really my purpose, my passion. So for anyone listening today, if this resonated with you, this information empowered you to seek and ask more questions, please share. Please like and subscribe. The more we share this information globally, the more we create a global shift. Maybe more dentists start uh providing this kind of care, which in turns, if one dentist turns to become a biological dentist, think about it. They have about 3,000 to 500 patients, if sorry, 3,000 to 5,000 patients, if not more. So inspiring one dentist to make that shift is a ripple effect to all those patients, which in turns a ripple effect to their children and generations to come. So that is my big mission and my big why. So thank you, Dr. Teresa Scott. Thank you for having me. Yes, thank you.
