Full Body Thermography and Dental Health
For over 30 years, European practitioners have studied dental infections as potential contributors to disease. In an interview with Alternative Therapies journal, Dr. Thomas Rau explained how Whole Body Regulation Thermography and biological dentistry have become essential in clinical practice. When dental issues impair a patient’s regulatory function, detoxification and metabolic rebuilding can only occur after removing associated toxins.
Localized infections are often linked to systemic disorders, which is crucial since the jaw is connected to both the nasal sinuses above and the lymphatic chains below. Research by Schupbach et al. (1996) identified both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in cavitated gingival tissue where a tooth had been removed but not properly cleaned or sterilized.
According to acupuncture theory, lymphatic and neurotransmitter pathways connect various teeth to different organs in the body. For example, integrative practitioners often check for infections in the 2nd molar in breast cancer patients, as the 2nd molar lies on the stomach meridian, which passes through breast tissue.
These connections, particularly in cases of breast disorders, can be activated simultaneously and should not be ignored. Dental health plays a significant role in overall wellness, influencing the ability to prevent and resolve broader health issues.
