Hello I am talking to you from the new computer I now have 2 machines running next to each other, I keep using the wrong keyboard and wonder why it does not work LOL.
Are you going to leave both computers running for the indefinite future, or is the old one about to be retired?
I think I will run the 2 together for a while especially on the nights I am posting the dose.
I have 5 actually.
An old Amstrad 8086, MJN486SX, AMD 1.3gb, Packad Bell 1.6P4 and now my AMD 3.2gb.
One of the articles was stating that old root canals were a source of chronic infection in the body. The tooth has many smaller dentinal tubules, miles in total length, in addition to the main nerve canal. These might be a source of chronic infection after a root canal, that would go unnoticed by most, feeding toxins into the blood.
Apparently one common precondition of sinusitis (and cardiovascular and other diseases) is oral infection, which could include these very hidden micro-pockets of anaerobic bacteria deep in a tooth that had a root canal treatment.
If I had chronic sinusitis, given that I already have a bunch of root canals, I'd be looking to retreat them, with an aggressive sterilization, which can take a month between visits, perhaps with Calcium Hydroxide, as suggested on the site Root-Canal Treatment ... holistically... an "alternative alternative" viewpoint ! by Michael C. Goldman, DDS
The main impediment to such a retreatment would be the cost. Even for those of us covered by a dental plan, I doubt this would be covered. Root canal work on a tooth that is not currently in pain, especially a tooth that has already had a root canal, so has no functioning nerve, is not uncomfortable. One hardly needs the local anesthesia.
I don't know yet if there is any economical way to tell if ones root canals are causing ongoing infections.
Of course, if y'all sinusitis sufferers don't have any root canal work, then count your blessings, and my apologies for the useless ping.
Fortunately I have never had a root canal, but I'm off to check into your link re the balloon treatment for chronic sinusitis. Thanks a bunch.
A belated thanks for posting all the Championship photos. What a busy day the President and his staff had, as usual!
Looks like athletic directors took the hint after a girl's team last year showed up at the White House wearing flip-flops. All of these teams look smartly dressed for their official photos. I love the Maryland hockey team coming in school colors.
Go Terps!! Three NCAA winning teams.
These pictures of President Bush with the NCAA Champs are terrific.
