ABOUT THf. AUTHOR
George E. Melnig, D.D.S., F.A.C.O.
Early in his practice. at a time when few dentists treated rool canal
infections and only a handful of dental schools gave instructions about the
subject, Dr. Meinig pracliced rOOI canal therapy and taught the subjcct at
denial association sessions around the Middlc West.
These professional activities led to his being one of tbe founding members
who started the American Association . canal
Because of his back!;round in
root canal thcrapy and his holistic
and nutritional approach to
practice. Dr. Meini!; was selccted
to manage thc Twentieth Century
Fox Studio dental office after
World War II service in the Air
Corps.
His participation as a member
of his dental society's speakcr's
bureau was the forerunner in
lectures he madc in many Pllrts of
the United Statcs and in
51:'1
foreign countries.
As a columnist for 17 years.
Dr. Mcinig's MdliJiomOy Speaking
anicles appeared weekly in the
Ojai Valley News, and his
bed, "NEW"trition- How to Achieve
Oplimum Heal/h, grew out of thaI
endeavor.
Leaning aln' "te rrdiuIk:a..ts 25-
year root carollcscanjl of Dr. Weston
Price and the serious side effecls
efteets thaI result, Dr. Meinig. in Dr. Wi "«" E. M.inig
consideration of his (PJ.n opportune, wen-suited background. found he was
anxious for this inronnation to be made public. TIle tbought of millions of
chronic disease sufferers who could be helped was a powerful motivating
force.
Along the way. Dr. Meinig has received many recognition citations and
awards, both nationally and internationally. They include Who's Who in
Californ ia, and Fellowships in the American College of Dentists, the
lnternational College of Applied Nutrition, and the Price Pottenger Nutrition
Foundation. From Mexico, he received Cenifieado de Asistencia, and a
similar citation from the Fedcration Dentaire Intemational, Cologne.
Germany.
Now retired from his active practice in Ojai, California, Dr. Meinig plans
deliver this message about the serious side effects of root canallhcrapy by
10
radio and tclevision appearances, anicles in magazines and the press, and by
lectures. Through these activities, he hopes to stimulate contributions for
research inlo how to sterilize and kill these virulent germs. which become
locked in the tubules of the tooth's dentin.
The raising of funds will allow people to save Iheir teeth for a lifetime and
is a mission of utmost importance. With all the money donated for causes of
much less distinction, Dr. Meinig fcels many individuals will sense what a
great opportunity his program is for more effective and efficient service
10
mankind.

FOREWORD
I want to thank you so much for sending a galley proof copy of your
book, Root Canal Cover-Up Exposed! I think this is a most exciting
review of the many years of contribution and work you bave provided
and a nice account of the Dr. Weslon Price work from a new, refreshing
perspective. I believe, as you do, that Dr. Weston Price's work has not
received the attention and acknowledgement it deserves. You have put it
into a modem context in your book in a "how 10" way that can be very
helpful to a person making the connection between nutrition, oral and
systemic health.
Please let me know what we can do to help support your efforts 10 get
this message out about your exciting book. My great admiration goes out
to you in being honored al the American Association of Endodontists
50'" Annual Meeting. That is quite an achievement to say the least.

FOREWORD
Can root canal therapy cndnngcr your health?
Dr. George Meinig writes about research covering thousands of
experiments indicating thaI having root canal therapy could weaken your
immune system and lead to serious illnesses.
Should you have root canal therapy done in your mouth?
Most dentists rely on infonnation they get from the ADA, but what if the
acts
ADA like trade guild whose main interest is in its members and not
II
you? What ihhey have been suppressing vital infonnation? What if the
inrOnnalion they put out is one-sided?
It seems to us Iha\ their actions regarding the controversy over mercury in
fillings are strong indication of this possibility.
II
Dr. George Mcinig has studied the work of Or. Weston Price, meticulous
II
researcher whose work shows how germs become u"8ppcd in leeth. When
dentists fililhe root canal, there are still over three miles of inaccessible,
untreated tubules from which these genns can pour toxins into your body.
These poisons can alTect your heart, kidneys, lungs, eyes, stomach, brain, and
countless other body tissues. AI times, the geons themselves escape into the
bloodstream and arc carried throughout the body.
Dr. Meinig writes about Dr. Priee·s 25 years of painstaking research, much
of it under the auspices of the American Dental Association's Research
Institute. He found the results of Dr. Price's research were buried over 70
years ago by non-believers.
We feci that the dental and medical professioos will bury the infonnation
with demands for further research. Such investigations are necessary, but
people should know about Dr. Price's work so they can decide on their own
what is best for them in order to make intelligent choices.
By alerting people about lhe cover up. Dr. Meinig's exhaustive review of
Dr. Price's research will undoubtedly force dentists and physicians to do some
serious "rethinking" on this subject.
Beyond tbis, Dr. Mcinig describes Dr. Price-s research on gum disease and
tooth decay in practical tenns. This is valuable inCoonation and if we don't
want to have the dangerous, toxic elTeets ohoot cnnnl therapy in our bodies,
we can prevent the very need for them. Here again. Dr. Price helps us make
the right choices. We've always said, "(fwe·rt not preventing disease, we are
prevcnting health." Dr. Price's work proves it.
