Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. David Minkoff. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement.

He is board certified in pediatrics and has completed a fellowship in Infectious Diseases at the University of California in San Diego, which included research in developing new medicines to fight viral disease. As a clinical faculty member at the University, he also served as co-director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Palomar Medical Center.

For 12 years Dr. Minkoff worked in Emergency Medicine at the Community Hospital of New Port Richey, Florida which ranks in the top 100 hospitals in the U.S. This emergency room has a chest pain center considered in the top 1 percent of all such centers in the U.S.

In addition to his traditional medical training, Dr. Minkoff has extensive post-graduate training in Complementary and Alternative Medicine. He is an expert in Functional Medicine, Chelation, Allergy Elimination, European Biological Medicine, Neural Therapy, Longevity/Aging Medicine, Enderlein Therapy, Insulin Potentiated Therapy, and more.

With this training, he co-founded LifeWorks Wellness Center in 1997, one of the largest alternative medical clinics in the U.S. This wellness center combines more cutting-edge alternative therapies and modalities under the same roof than almost any other alternative clinic in the country.

In 2000, he founded BodyHealth, a nutrition company which offers a unique range of dietary supplements to the public and practitioners. He is also currently on the board of Home Health Works, an agency which offers in-home care and which was founded by Dr. Minkoff’s wife, Sue Minkoff R.N.

In this episode, Dr. David Minkoff dives into oral healthcare and what you need to know about bone density if you have ever had a wisdom tooth extraction. Plus, Dr. Minkoff explains how 100% of root canals are actually infected. If you’re looking for a science-based biological dentist, Dr. Minkoff reveals what kind of questions you should ask before becoming a new patient. Tune in as we chat about the importance of the eight essential amino acids for protein synthesis, fixing a toxic gut, and Dr. Minkoff’s PerfectAminos.

[16:40] Check Your Bone Density If You’ve Had A Wisdom Tooth Extraction 

  • If you have a wisdom tooth pulled and the bone doesn't heal back in, you are left with a cavity.
  • Normal bone density on a CT scan is zero.
  • If there’s a hole, it starts going into minus levels of bone. 
  • The body will put in biotoxins when there’s an open hole, and you get infections there. 
  • The wisdom teeth will also affect the brain. So you’ll want to make sure there are no infections. 

[18:30] Did You Know That 100% of Root Canals Are Infected? 

  • A tooth is an organ; each tooth is like a lung, brain, or heart. 
  • The pulp of the tooth is where the nerves are. 
  • If the cavity breaks through the enamel and gets into the pulp, the nerve gets inflamed because there's an infection in there that hurts. 
  • Not many people will put up with a toothache that's bad for too long. 
  • A root canal will kill the nerve and destroy the blood supply. Then, they put a metal post in the mouth. However, the infection is still there, and now you have a dead tooth. 
  • 100% of root canals are infected. 

[24:20] Looking For A New Dentist? These Are The Things You Need To Know

  • Ask your dentist if they are a member of IAOMT. 
  • Learn more about IAOMT here: https://iaomt.org/
  • Also, ask if your dentist does root canals. If they do, you don’t want them as your dentist.
  • If your dentist isn’t a believer, then why would you see them for your care? 

[35:00] Signaling Mechanisms: Understanding Satiety, Hunger, and Cravings 

  • The body is so inundated with biological toxins from the air, water, and food.
  • The normal signaling mechanisms of the body about satiety, hunger, and craving are all off. 
  • When you start fasting, you will see normal regulation come back in. 
  • Most people won’t put up with being hungry for 24 hours. 
  • If you end up fasting, good stuff will look good and bad stuff will look bad. 
  • 100% of every patient Dr. Minkoff sees in his clinic has a toxic gut. 

[38:15] Amino Acid Metabolism: Whey Protein vs. Meat and Eggs 

  • Most people are amino acid deficient. 
  • In whey protein, the percentage of nitrogen is about 16%.
  • If you had 100 grams of whey protein, 16 grams is measurable nitrogen. 
  • When the amino acid enters the cell, it can be made into a protein. 
  • Whey protein is inefficient. However, meat and fish are about 33% net nitrogen utilized. 
  • Eggs are 48% net nitrogen utilized.

[54:35] What PerfectAminos Can Do For Your Gut Health and Muscle Building  

  • Your doctor is unlikely to know anything about amino acids. 
  • There has never been any significant reaction or allergy to Dr. Minkoff’s products.
  • If you have gut problems, you will see improvements with PerfectAminos.
