Periodontal infections can go undetected for years as the body seals off and encapsulates the pathogens deep within the jaw. The infection still produces an energetic imbalance as well as a constant stress on the immune system.
Heavy metals found in dental materials are also a source of toxicity and immune suppression. Dental fillings that contain mercury (found in amalgam fillings) as well as gold crowns containing palladium and caps containing nickel can place a toxic burden on the connective tissue and organs. Abnormally high concentrations of these metals in the body will stimulate macrophages and monocytes, the scavengers of the immune system, to engulf these toxins. The production of the cell is inhibited or blocked. Once this happens, the cell goes into "survival mode" and begins to divide uncontrollably, and carcinogenesis is under way.
These scavengers do not possess enzymes capable of breaking down these metals, so they continue to stay within the immune cell. A macrophage that is clogged with metals cannot engulf bacteria and viruses. When these metal-containing cells die, the metals in them return to the general circulation, where they eventually bind to tissue and organelles of the cells, such as mitochondria. When these metals bind to mitochondria.
