Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 "A health program should have as its thesis the anticipation and prevention of disease rather than its mere identification and treatment." --Drs. E. Cheraskin & M. Ringsdorf Brief, random thoughts on the problem of gum disease: 1. Avoid sugar - germs love it. Sugar also depletes your immune system. Sugar also causes calcium loss from the bone. Osteoporotic bone leads to weakened tooth support in the jaw -- loosening and eventual loss of the teeth. This leaves little for implant support should they be desired. Dentures constructed for people with osteoporosis need constant refitting. 2. Be certain to eat a protein breakfast daily. If ‘eating’ one is a problem, you can have a protein drink. 3. Make food supplements a habit (calcium and magnesium, Co-Q-10, Vit. C, Vit. E, etc.) 4. Exercise 5. Relieve stress - Dr. F. Klenner found that a fit of rage could deplete one’s vitamin C level 3,000 mg. We like The Sedona Method - superb - 888-282-5656 6. Occlusion should be checked and corrected by a competent DDS. 7. Immaculate Oral Hygiene practice. See a DDS whose hygienist has the knowledge and time to teach you ‘hands-on.’ One cannot ‘tell’ a friend how to swim or ride a bike. 8. Correct habits that could cause and aggravate gum disease. Here we think of myofunctional therapy for the deviate swallowing pattern.. > > An added suggestion: Use the unique qualities of colloidal silver. We spray it on the Rota-dent tip (or regular tooth brush). You can also occasionally spray some in your mouth and swish it around before swallowing it.
