Drugs are good for you

Oral problems: A male reader has been suffering from what appears to be

excess saliva in the roof of his mouth, primarily behind his two front

teeth, for well over a year now.  As a result, this part of his mouth

is very sore: " I have a constant lip sore and little ulcers on my

tongue.  Also, my tongue has a very pronounced crack right down the

middle. "   His doctor has no idea what the problem is and has referred

him to a number of specialists, but no one has been able to come up with

an answer.  Blood tests have revealed nothing and his dentist has

assured him it is not a dental problem. Can any readers help?  Could

the drugs he is taking – lansoprazole for a digestive problem and a

statin for raised blood pressure – have anything to do with the

problem?

 

According to Claire, drugs could indeed be at the root of the

problem.  " Statins have extremely serious side effects, and among the

less lethal ones is a change in saliva flow, " she points out. 

However, only by stopping the drugs and opting for alternative

treatments – such as homeopathy and naturopathy – will you be able

to establish whether they are the real cause, says Claire.  She also

suggests consulting a holistic, mercury-free dentist to find out if the

symptoms could be related to mercury toxicity from amalgam fillings. 

If so, homeopathy or replacement of the mercury fillings can resolve the

problem.  Visit www.mercuryfreedentistry.org.uk to find a specialist

dentist in your area, she advises. 

 

Other readers agree that you should look for natural alternatives to the

drugs you are taking, but Jack reckons the solution is much simpler. 

" It is possible that this gentleman had an irritation behind his two

front teeth and as a consequence constantly palpated the area with the

tip of his tongue in an effort to remove the irritant, " he says. 

" This would result in excess salivation in the area and wearing away of

the sensitive cells on the tip of his tongue, which would eventually

split.  These cells are constantly eroded, which is natural, but would

eventually become a chronic problem and the cells would not have enough

time to replicate before more damage was done.  I suggest that the

gentleman observe what he is doing in the area, which would help him to

alter the pattern.  Keeping something in his mouth to divert his habit

could help. "
