It is a serious mistake—repented of when it is too late to
repair the damage done—to extract all the teeth or any considerable number of
them—for sciatic neuritis. I have seen women have all their teeth extracted for
“sciatica” and un-relieved, without ever having had a pelvic or rectal
examination!
And what a raw deal the patient gets—to have the tonsils out
for sciatic neuritis, regardless of the condition of the tonsil! A rotten
tonsil, of course, needs extirpation—but not because of sciatic neuritis.
I have seen hundreds of foci removed from people in an
effort to get rid of infecting micro-organisms—all in the fight against joint
troubles, and, wholly without relief. I’ve seen many relieved by happy removals
of infected glands—but fully as many have not been benefited. We should
diagnose carefully. Fully half are NOT helped.
Especially do I hate to find people deprived of their teeth
unnecessarily or ill-advised, or hastily. I myself am a victim, and I believe
few misfortunes are greater than the loss of our natural teeth.
