gnirpS The Energy of Dentistry By Tammy Gouweloos Each tooth has a connection through nerves, lymph and blood supply to the rest of the body. We know that the human body is not just a physical being; it operates through electrical impulses and communication highways similar to the Internet. Cells and hormones communicate with each other in order to perform their jobs effectively. With good health, this electrical and communication system works efficiently but when there is inflammation in our body, issues begin to occur. Over time, this inflammation causes degenerative disease and thus stagnation in the cells of our body as the cells can no longer perform their specific tasks. The energetic highways in our bodies are affected by physical and emotional injuries. We also have genetic tendencies or miasms, which will determine whether or not we will be affected by our exposure to germs, bacteria, toxic metals and chemicals and poor food and drink choices. Dentistry may also affect the energetic highways in our body in regard to toxic teeth (ie. root canals) and filling materials, but this can be reversed with proper removal and support through a cleansing process. These energetic pathways were mapped by the Chinese over 4,000 years ago and they have been an integral part of healing in Eastern medicine ever since. Everything in our body is connected to another part of our body. Each tooth has a connection through nerves, lymph and blood supply to the rest of the body. They also have a connection through energy to organs, our senses, sinuses, spinal segments, joints, glands and tonsils. One can observe the teeth as an overall map of a person’s health condition. It is important to remember that our body has the truly amazing ability to heal itself ! It works hard to adapt to different environments and to create balance. The ‘energetic web’ of relationships in our bodies is enhanced when: we eat whole foods grown in a healthy way, we are grateful for all we have, we enjoy nature regularly and when we connect with people whom we love. ■ Tammy Gouweloos, RDH Owner of Barrie Dental Hygiene Student of Holistic Nutrition Member of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry & Medicine www.barriedentalhygiene.ca 705-722-0030 10 EERF 4102 eussI dnoceS You could not step twice rehtonA weiV into the same rivers; aillirO for other waters are ever ecapS weivretaW ehT yb dehsilbuP flowing on to you. - Heraclitus of Ephesus ssenlleW & htlaeH larutaN enizagaM taerteR TRAEH
