What's the deal with hippys and schizos saying Root Canals cause heart attacks and cancer?
How can it be possible that extremely harmful bacteria just chill at the apex of a root canal treated tooth for years and your body does nothing to it? The root canal just seals whatever bacteria are left. So wouldnt it matter what kind of bacteria are getting sealed off?

How come your white blood cells can't get to the bacteria? How can the bacteria stay alive if your cells can't get to it? How can the bacteria infinitely secrete toxins if it's closed off from your blood supply? Your body forms a cyst around the apex of your root when it detects an infection post root canal. So the bacteria just avoid the cyst? Do they avoid antibiotics too?

Maybe Im just retarded but nothing about this makes sense and the more I try to read up about Periapical cysts and the exact mechanism through which harmful bacteria are able to survive antibiotics, survive the immune system, live perpetually, and secrete "toxins" with a minecraft infinite dupe glitch, the more I just get nonsense results like pic related
