Patient was diagnosed with breast cancer. "I eat well, take care of myself, I just don't understand this," she told me.

I checked her and found a root canal that was infected, on the same side as the cancerous breast. I referred her to a biological/holistic dentist who took a panoramic X-ray confirming it was the one infected tooth in her head. "That tooth is on the same meridian as her breast. I recommended she have it extracted immediately," he said.

For reasons I will never know, she made an appointment for a second opinion from the dentist who did the original root canal. He told her there was no problem there. She did nothing about it and died four months later.
