"Our bodies were never designed to handle: • High levels of radiation from dental x-rays and high-altitude airplane flights • Organo-phosphate nerve-gas pesticide residues • Totally artificial fats (hydrogenated oils, trans-fatty acids, and homogenized fat) • High levels of refined sugar (with the average American now consuming over 137 pounds a year) • A totally fiberless white flour diet (including, breads, pastas, cakes, pop tarts, pastries, tortillas, etc." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Too many raise the risk of endothelial or DNA damage, chronic inflammation, and cancer, whether it's mammograms, dental x-rays, CT scans, or cardiology angiograms. Multiple angiograms on a patient may promote disease progression. No research shows this, but we tread very conservatively on this issue. Radiation abounds in our present-day environment. Radiation damage accumulates and doesn't disappear from your body. If you have been exposed to excessive radiation in your neck and heart area, be very prudent about reducing your overall CVD risk factors." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"To measure your bone density, you can have an X-ray test that uses less radiation than dental x-rays. It determines the amount of mineral in your bones—your bone mineral density, also called BMD or bone mass. Your test result is called a T-score—a measure of how far above or below you are compared to your peak bone mass." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Hale also notes that this is not only a painful condition but it also constitutes an open pathway for infection to enter the body. Only dental x-rays can detect this condition since there is usually no bleeding gum tissue or foul odor that would alert the owner. Brushing your dog or cat's teeth is the only safe way to prevent plaque build up and dental disease. If brushing becomes routine when they are puppies or kittens, they soon learn that this task can be enjoyable. One product that has been around for many years, "Nylabone Plaque Attacker," claims to remove plaque from teeth." - Ann N. Martin, Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food (Get the book.)

"I know quite a few people who have dental x-rays routinely without so much as a thought as to the radiation damage to sensitive tissues, including the brain, from scatter radiation. This is especially a concern when combined with fluoride treatments and dental amalgam, since both are carcinogenic. Preparing for Surgery-Most surgery is elective; that is, you have time to prepare yourself nutritionally for the inevitable trauma that accompanies any sort of invasive procedure." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "I also avoided all dental x-rays. I just didn't trust the medical profession. This is what surprises me about my colleagues: they all remember the way medicine was practiced in a medical center. Fortunately for most professors, the public is unaware of what really goes on in the medical industry and how incompetent some medical professors really are—which is not to indict everyone in the profession. There are indeed some excellent professors in our medical centers, but there are also a frighteningly large number of turkeys." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Do not permit him or her to take any dental x-rays while you are pregnant. CONSTIPATION Hormonal changes during pregnancy have a relaxing effect on the muscles, including those of the digestive tract. The increasing level of progesterone in your system makes the bowels less efficient. The normal rhythmic contractions of the intestines slow down, and the result can be constipation. This happens most often in the third trimester. Recommendations Q Eat fresh and dried fruit such as prunes, raisins, and figs." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "Seven out of ten Americans get medical or dental x-rays in an average year. These peeks inside the body can be valuable, even lifesaving, tools for diagnosing health problems. But, x-rays are sometimes ordered when they are not needed. Other times, failure to follow precautions may expose people to more radiation than necessary. Our general advice is to keep x-rays to a minimum, especially ones taken for less than critical reasons." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Avoid precautionary or 'routine' medical and dental x-rays for check-up purposes. Women of childbearing years should have x-rays only in the 10 days following menstruation. Though this is now in dispute, it is better to play safe. Allow no x-rays whatever if you are trying to conceive. Children should never be x-rayed, except in a dire emergency. Caution Do not attempt any kind of screening or Faradic cage for protection, using meshes, metal plates or wires. You could make things worse by inadvertently focusing or intensifying the electromagnetic fields." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.)

"It has been estimated that approximately 78,000 people every year develop cancer as a direct result of having been given medical and dental x-rays. Some researchers believe that a majority of breast cancer occurrences may be caused by medical X-rays given for diagnosing chest and lung problems, or spinal-related back and neck problems. One of the most insidious sources of contributing factors to cancer, unfortunately, may be the field of modern dental practices. The subject of toxic teeth is still controversial, but the evidence linking certain cancers with dangerous dental practices is there." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)
