Hi Julie,

Glad to hear that you have a found a dentist who you are comfortable with and who seems to really care about your health. So YAY for that!!

Regarding a debate with Cleo... I am not here to debate, I'm here to educate. Because there are numerous "unknown" attributing factors surrounding actual dental and medical procedures, IMO, it is never wise to immediately assume that someone has injured you. I have enough chair side experience to comprehend how the OS treated you and I don't doubt that he was rough and "old school". But the symptoms that you had/have following this tooth extraction may not have anything to do with the injection and that was my point in recommending that you get an evaluation from another dentist. As you stated, there is still some uncertainty as to what may or may not be occurring in the jaw bone at the surgical site which again may or may not have nothing to do with the injection.

Glad you are going to take the S. Boulardii supplement. I hope it helps!

The book you mentioned .... Deep Nutrition.... that was a textbook requirement when I was studying nutrition. I too found Shanahan's information thought provoking. As a matter of fact, I am currently re reading it!

Hope you continue to improve and please keep us posted!
