I wish I knew more, but all I know is wrongly extracted teeth can lead to them. I don't know what else can because only when the tooth is pulled does the area need to fill in with healthy bone. If it doesn't or there is a gap, it can become a bacterial trap and from there act like a tap leaking into the rest of the body.

I think if I recall, Hal Huggins spoke of them and it seemed that people who had cavitations, once they got hit down with something, it was like not being able to get back up after it. Ages to recover from any hit on their health. I don't know the exact symptoms becuase it can be different for everybody with this. Guess it may depend on the weaknesses of that person. But like myself, I go from one health problem to another and no sooner have I taken months to recover from something, than I go down and again and it starts over. this did not used to happen, and this is the story of my life now.

Fatigue is probably a stand out one. The toxins from cavitations are dreadful, worse than anything. I recall the mention of mustard gas as an example. don't quote me on that one.

If someone can end up in a wheelchair because of them, or basically totally debilitated, well that should give us some indication of how severe they can be. I also hear that some people will suffer ongoing pain in areas of their body too and not attribute it to cavitations.

Again, it's not a sure thing, most of us, if not all on here are working in the dark one way or the other. I don't know if there are any specific ways of detecting them because they are so notoriously hard to find.

Xrays can sometimes show something, but even then it's hard to see. Bone scans do too, but I never know if any of it is overly accurate. One health professional said he detected gangrene (dead pulp) on the lefthand side of my jaw where one wisdom tooth had been removed in 2004. Coincidentally this is when my life became far far worse.

yet on xray and bone scan? It showed next to nothing, yet it showed cavitations in other areas of my mouth that had been done years previously before I even got this ill. So I have NO idea what is going on. Contradictions never cease, I have no answers.
