In this Functional Roots episode, hygienists Amanda and Heather talk with Dr. Gregory Hyde (MD/PhD, ENT surgeon and integrative physician) and Elena Mar (naturopath and biofield practitioner) about the mouth as a “circuit breaker box” for whole-body health and their method using coherent sound (tuning forks) and kinesiology to detect imbalances linked to teeth, organs, minerals, emotions, and chronic infections like cavitations.
They share Dr. Hyde’s story of losing vision from a brain abscess tied to oral bacteria and a healing experience involving a Native American cedar flute, plus Elena’s long research into why certain teeth decay while adjacent teeth stay healthy.
The conversation covers frequency, the biofield/aura, how sound can be used for assessment and therapy, why they focus on restoring harmony rather than “killing” microbes, and their Vita Institute courses and tooth avatar charts.
