Found under a series of names, such as NICO (Neuralgia-Inducing Cavitational Osternecrosis)and Alveolar
Cavitational Osteopathy, a cavitation is a hole within the upper or lower jaw bone. This hole is
roughly the size and shape of the root that once occupied that space in bone, because that was its
origin. It is an area of incomplete healing.
When a woman delivers a baby, she must also deliver the afterbirth. When a tooth is delivered, there is
an equivalent of the afterbirth. It is called the periodontal ligament. This is a group of fibers, half
of which originate within the tooth, and the other half from the bone surrounding the tooth. They blend
together and form a hammock-like structure that unites tooth and bone. There is normally no bony
attachment between the two.
When a tooth has a root canal, or is in a dying state, bacteria within the tooth produce very strong
chemicals that are highly neurotoxic and kill many critical enzymes within the body. When the tooth is
removed, and the ligament left in place (normal procedure) these chemicals remain within the ligament
and can slowly seep into the body, potentially creating disease states.
If a tooth is removed and the ligament is left in place, a cap of two to three millimeters of bone
heals over the top of the socket, leaving a cesspool of these chemicals lining the hole, and sealed
within the bone. X-ray has a hard time identifying these areas, for one is taking a picture of a piece
of air within bone.
After the tooth is removed, or years later when the cavitation is being cleaned, the walls of the
socket must be cut out with a dental burr. Just scraping it out (curetting is the term) pushes the
toxins into the lymphatic drainage system, and patients frequently become ill for several days without
knowing why.
The procedure of cleaning out a cavitation is simple, just like landing a 747. It is simple when
someone knows how to do it. Care must be taken to prevent the toxic materials from getting out of the
opened cavitation into the mouth. High suction and saline flushes help to accomplish this. Since this
is a problem of chemical toxins and not a bacterial infection generating pus, antibiotics are of little
value in the treatment. Sometimes Intravenous Vitamin C is utilized.
According to certain toxicologists, toxic responses can take place just as fast as electrical responses
within the body. This may explain why it is not unusual to see a body part that has been responding to
the presence of these toxins demonstrate a positive improvement within seconds of the cleaning of a
cavitation. Responses within a day or two are common.
