It directly targets the root cause of high blood sugar levels and may be especially useful for people with diabetes. According to the manufacturer, its’ powerful ingredients also help to. This documentary is 100% real and I have lab work to prove it! This documentary helped me realized that my daughter's Alopecia ( the immune system attacks the hair follicles causing them to fall out) was caused by a root canal that was done 2 years ago when she was 6 years old. My daughter's root canal tooth was extracted last month, March 12th and 3 weeks after the extraction her hair started to grow:) I wanted to make sure that the documentary was 100% real so guided by her dentist ( holistic Biological) the root canal tooth was sent to the lab for testing( biopsy) after receiving the 10 pages lab report, I thanked.

It’s a question that makes me bristle: “Are you still working?” Grey hair and a lengthy career must signal that it’s time for me to punch out permanently.

I have no plans to quit work. Neither did hotel housekeeper Rebecca Danigelis in the documentary Duty Free, directed by her youngest son, New York freelance TV journalist Sian-Pierre Regis.

After decades making sure everything was just so for hotel guests, Danigelis had risen to executive housekeeper at a Boston hotel. Fired at age 75, she was devastated. There was a lot more than pride on the line for this elegant-looking, energetic woman who had always worked and wanted to continue.

With just $600 in the bank, Danigelis could lose the one-bedroom apartment above the hotel that came with her job. Her small salary barely paid her bills. How would she manage the expenses she has always covered for her oldest son, who has schizophrenia and lives in a group home?

Regis, a 30-something filmmaker who had been documenting his mother’s struggles on his iPhone, came up with an idea to give her hope and a sense of purpose. He suggested she make list of all the things she wanted to do but put off as a sole-support mother raising her family. Then they would do them together.

How can I possibly afford that, she asks?

Mom, meet the Internet.

A crowdfunding campaign raises $60,000. Regis is her adventure partner and the occasionally breathlessly upbeat narrator as his mother uncharacteristically focuses squarely on her own happiness.

Things start out on the light side: she gets an Instagram account and milks a cow. There’s skydiving in Hawaii.

Duty Free stops being a YOLO video and enters more purposeful storytelling through other items on the list. They reveal parts of Danigelis’ life that were unknown or barely explained to her son. He admits that, like many young adults, he’d never asked his mother about her life.

Married not long after moving to Detroit from Britain, Danigelis had a daughter, Joanne. Soon divorced, Danigelis discovered lumps in her breast and sent young Joanne to England to be raised by her sister. The girl never lived with her mother again.

Reuniting with Joanne for the first time in 10 years is on Danigelis’ list. There are happy hugs and tears when they arrive in the UK, but Joanne also speaks candidly about the hurt she still carries, childhood fears she wasn’t wanted and was sent away as punishment.

Danigelis thinks she needs to get over it. She’s one for getting on with things when life takes an unhappy turn, but she struggles with applying the same philosophy to landing a new job. Who wants to hire a woman who graduated in 1964, she wonders? Determined to look “vibrant,” she dons a scarlet scarf and carefully does her hair and makeup for an interview.

She has more success with social media love. With 50,000 Instagram followers and Regis working his contacts, Danigelis becomes a temporary celebrity and inspiration.

Duty Free spends little time exploring the ageism that’s at the heart of Danigelis’ employment difficulties. There’s a quick mention at the end of the doc that 25 million Americans don’t have enough money to pay for retirement, but no exploration of the how and why.

It would have made for a more satisfying film had Regis gotten beyond the road-trip selfies.

A lot of my patients have seen The Root Cause movie on Netflix about the perils of root canals. Does the movie have it right when it comes to root canals being bad for you and causing diseases like cancer, arthritis, heart disease and strokes? My answer is ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ Let me explain:

While there is some truth to what the movie is saying there is a lot of misinformation as well. So I will tackle the ‘no’ side first, as frankly, it is easier. First of all, the movie clearly states and is based on the simple premise that ‘all root canals are bad and are making you sick.’

Root Canals and Cancer

The claim put forward is that 97% of the people that have cancer also have root canals. While I respect putting out such a bold statement and the right of doctors to state their experience, I would also ask that they back it up with evidence-based research, or at least their own case studies or small pilot studies. Without research or proof, opinions are just that, opinions.

What about the millions of people who don’t have root canals and still have cancer or the people who have root canals that don’t have cancer. There are plenty of patients in my practice that have root canals and don’t have cancer. There are also plenty of patients in my practice that have cancer and don’t have any root canals. Is this proof that root canals don’t cause cancer? I would not be so bold as to make this claim.

What I do know about cancer is that it is a multifactorial disease. There is literally a mountain of evidence that proves there are many other causes to cancer including microbes, infections, viruses, environmental factors and toxicity, genetics, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, poor diet, immune issues, and systemic inflammation. And this list is not exhaustive. So why do the authors of this movie say that root canals, and root canals alone, are the cause of cancer? They may really believe it, or they may say it for effect. I don’t really know. What I do know is that it’s just not credible or true. To generalize with a disease like cancer is both irresponsible and lazy in my opinion.

“All Root Canals Are Infected”

Another claim made by the movie is that ‘virtually all root canals are infected.’ As evidence of this, the authors state that there are miles of microtubules and accessory canals in the body of the tooth that harbor bacteria and that these bacteria are released and found in other parts of the body. Thus is born the ‘sick tooth syndrome’ and the ‘focal infection theory’, where anaerobic bacteria associated with root canals release toxins that cause diseases in other parts of the body.

Don’t get me wrong. It is true that bacteria are left behind after traditional root canals are done. Please see my earlier post on the subject: Advanced Laser Endodontic Therapy. However, that doesn’t mean that all root canal teeth are infected or that you should pull them.

The Truth About Root Canal Infections

Here’s the bottom line about root canals that I have come to after 35 years as a practicing dentist and 25 years as a holistic dentist:

Root Cause Documentary Scam
  • Root canal teeth no longer have a blood supply and so immune cells can’t reach the bacteria that remain in the tooth even after root canal therapy
  • There is research that shows that up to 40% of previously treated root canals have some form of problem or infection present
  • What to do with these teeth is an individual decision based on the amount of infection present, the health of the patient, especially the immune system, and the difficulty of the treatment involved.
  • Sometimes the only way to see which root canals are infected is the take a 3D image called a cone beam.

The normal x-rays taken in dental offices often don’t uncover infections around the roots of old root canal teeth. You need the better image provided by a 3D image similar to a mini Cat Scan. Can you see how this controversy might have come to pass? If your dentist can’t see the problem on the x-rays he/she has, there is no way to offer a solution.

What to do about old root canals, especially those that are infected, is a decision that should be made by each person after consulting with your dentist, other health care providers and loved ones. It also depends on how much you want to keep your teeth. As you can tell from the above, what to do about root canals is not a simple topic or easy decision to make. In all cases, proper history and records need to be collected and a thorough evaluation done before a final decision is made.

Technological Advances in Root Canal Therapy

The last thing I will say about this movie is that it is based on old beliefs and old technology. The movie cites research and work that was done quite some time ago, most of it before the turn of the century. George Meinig’s heyday was during the 1990’s and Westin Price’s research was done 100 years ago.

Watch Root Cause Movie

There have been quite a few advances made since then in technique as well as technology, especially in the last 10 years. I previously wrote an article highlighting the research done by Westin Price and George Meinig questioning the wisdom of doing root canals. In this article, I also discuss the improvements that have been made in root canal therapy since their day. You can read the article here: The Root Canal Cover-Up: Did George Meinig Have it Right?

So Where Does The Root Cause Have It Right?

Root cause documentary cast

This is a fair question. The ‘Root Cause’ does have some good things to say in questioning that all root canals are fine and there are no problems with them whatsoever. However, this will take more time to discuss and break down for you than I have time or space for here. Watch for my next post on what to do about root canal infections and how the movie the ‘Root Cause’ has it right.

Carey O’Rielly DDS has been a practicing dentist for 35 years. He went to USC Dental School and Duke University for his undergraduate degree. He grew up in Laguna Beach and now lives in La Costa with his wife Victoria, who runs his office.

Dr. O started looking for solutions to his health challenges that resulted from the stress and environmental toxicity that built up over a ten year period running his dental network. He has dedicated himself to learning about oral systemic problems and how dentistry can affect your health. He has applied what he has learned over the last twenty years to ensure he, his staff and his patients are protected from the chemicals and toxic materials found in most dental offices. He has produced an environmentally friendly office that is also peaceful and calm.

He is an expert on dental materials having looked at hundreds of biocompatibility lab tests over the years. He has identified the most bio-friendly materials to use in his practice and which dental materials can be used to replace metal fillings and crowns, including BPA free and fluoride free ‘white’ fillings. He also uses metal-free Zirconia or ceramic implants and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) grafting materials which come from the patient’s own blood.

Dr. O’Rielly teaches C.E. courses on the systemic effects of gum disease. He is an expert in using phase contrast microscopy for analyzing dental infections, where he shows patients what kind of microbes, i.e. bacteria, amoeba, and yeasts like candida are populating the mouth and affecting the body as a whole.

He has an educational blog and is writing a book on dental health called ‘Hidden Dental Infections: Healing Root Canals and Infected Teeth with the Erbium Laser’ where he discusses dental nutrition, toxic dental materials and the effects of old root canals on inflammation and overall health.
