Dr Price conducted about 5,000 experiments over 25 years. He Drug and Chemical Cocktails did not find a reliable method to disinfect dead teeth and make Basically all drugs are more or less toxic: the more so, the them safe. His research has been suppressed, and if at al more "powerful" they are. Natural remedies cannot be patented; mentioned by our dental associations then it is described as therefore, in order to maximise profits, the pharmaceutical "dated" because this research was conducted and published over _ industry routinely makes and sells synthetic versions of effective 70 years ago but has never been repeated or otherwise natural remedies. Synthetic substances are usually more difficult investigated and root canal fillings have never been shown to be to detoxify than natural remedies and tend to create more safe. The main argument for the supposed safety of root-canal- problems the longer they are taken. Often they become highly filled teeth is that millions of people have them and are still alive addictive and after some time may cause the symptoms that they many years later.

Some of the chlorine reacts with organic impurities in water to form organochlorines (DDT is an organochlorine), while the rest remains as residual free-chlorine in the water. It may then react either with food chemicals or with parts of our digestive tract. In 1967, Dr Joseph Price in the USA performed a decisive experiment. With one group of 50 three-month-old chickens (cockerels), he added one-third of a teaspoon of chlorine bleach to Lack of Sunlight Implicated in Diseases Health authorities and medical associations have campaigned strongly on avoiding sun exposure to the skin. Presumably such exposure causes skin cancer, including melanoma that can kill. 30 * NEXUS shows up in office workers. www.nexusmagazine.com FEBRUARY — MARCH 2008
