Can root canals cause diabetes and other illnesses? (see inside)

When healthy teeth, non-decayed and freshly extracted (such as impacted wisdom teeth or for orthodontic purposes) were implanted under the skin of rabbits by Weston Price, DDS, nothing happened. No reaction was seen, no matter how long they remained. Dr. Price also implanted sterile objects, such as coins and pieces of glass or metal, and saw no reaction. Over 100 sterile foreign objects were tested to verify this! The rabbits merely formed a thin skin–like sac around each object.

An immense difference was observed in animals following the implantation of root filled teeth beneath the skin of his rabbits. Most of the embedded teeth became surrounded by pus or inflammation: the rabbits usually died within 6–10days! Some rabbits developed a thick fibrous capsule around the teeth and lived for several months to a year; fewer showed no evidence whatsoever of injury or illness from these teeth. Many of the rabbits with implanted encapsulated teeth went on to develop degenerative diseases, notably of the heart and kidneys.
Dr. Price went on to remove embedded teeth from a rabbit which had just died and then re-implanted it into another rabbit. Each time he would carefully wash the tooth with pumice and disinfectant. The same tooth would kill rabbits in succession. (He stopped at that point, having fulfilled his purpose.)
One time he removed an implanted tooth from a rabbit which died, placed it in boiling water for 1 hour, let it cool and re implanted it into another rabbit. It took 22 days for the rabbit to die instead of the usual 6–10 days.
Then, Dr. Price placed one such tooth in a hospital autoclave for 1 hour at 30 lbs. pressure. When this tooth caused a rabbit to die, he then used 60 lbs. pressure for 1 hour and eventually 300 lbs. pressure for 2 hours! Although more lengthy sterilization prolonged their lives, all of the rabbits died. In order to confirm that the microbial toxins were the source of the problem and not the bacteria themselves, he crushed roots of root filled teeth, rinsed them and filtered this rinse liquid through a special filter that removes all bacteria. After proving that no bacteria remained, after attempting to culture the liquid (to no avail), it was injected into rabbits. Death usually occurred within a couple of weeks.

Dr. Price reported extensively on the changes in blood chemistry induced by root canals in both man and laboratory animals. Repeatedly, he demonstrated such alterations following placement changes induced by root canals were as follows:

Calcium/phosphorus imbalance
Lower pH
High blood sugar *
Higher uric acid
Altered total protein (and sub components thereof)
White blood cell alterations
E.G. depressed PMNs (by 33%)
Elevated lymphocytes (by 58%)
So, does it follow that Dr Price proved that root canaled teeth are detrimental to health?
