The results of recent research of Dr. Boyd Haley (former Chairman, Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky) show that ALL cavitation tissue samples he’s tested contain toxins, which significantly inhibit one or more of the five basic body enzyme systems necessary in the production of energy. These toxins, which are most commonly likely to be metabolic waste products of anaerobic bacteria (bacteria which don’t live in oxygen), may produce significant systemic effects, as well as play an important role in localised disease processes, which negatively affect the blood supply in the jawbone.
There are indications that other types of toxins also accumulate in cavitations, and when these combine with certain chemicals or heavy metals (for example, mercury), much more potent toxins may form.
High levels of mercury are commonly found in some cavitations and in general in the jawbone of those with mercury amalgam fillings and to have significant local and systemic effects. Mercury is known to be extremely toxic and to commonly cause chronic adverse local and systemic health effects. Yeast and fungi have also been found to accumulate in cavitations, and to have significant systemic effects.
Accurate tests for cavitation-related bacterial toxins have been developed by the Affinity Laboratory in Kentucky, based on research by Chemists from the University of Kentucky Department of Chemistry. The toxins released by anaerobic bacteria in cavitations have been found to be extremely toxic, and to have major effects on necessary body enzymes and the immune system.
