Regarding your question about PN in your feet and a possible correlation between your teeth and the PN. Ancient Chinese medicine used (still in use to this day) a a tooth and organ meridian chart as part of their diagnosis as they believe the teeth are intricately connected to the rest of the body. I personally have found this chart to be remarkably accurate many times within my professional setting. I am attaching a link to this chart for you to look over. Keep in mind that the teeth in each quadrant feed off of the same nerve meridians. Therefore the connection to specific organs or areas of the body are shared by all of the teeth in that specific quadrant.

It is not uncommon for people to have relief from nerve pain or certain types of arthritic pain during the course of some antibiotics. There are several theories about this but two of them are: 1) antibiotics temporarily reduce inflammation and target areas of infectious bacteria 2) some types of nerve pain can be caused by infection.

It's important to know that inflammation and infection does not have to originate at the site of the pain. The root cause of the pain can be in an area of the body that is intricately connected to the areas that are being affected. For example.... one symptom of a heart attack is radiating pain in the lower jaw or pain down the left arm. Yet it is the heart muscle that is directly affected. Symptoms of a stroke.... slurred speech, blurred vision, loss of sensation down one side of the body, etc. So when you think about things like that, the tooth and organ chart makes sense!

Your thoughts?
