Let me lay it out on the Table of Life for you to see. Every cell in your body needs a healthy formula of nutrients derived from your consumption of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbs and fat. If you consume too many carbs and sugar (or medications) you will suppress the good bacteria and feed the bad bacteria allowing dangerous microbes (like the yeast Candida Albicans) to flourish. The Candida will penetrate the gut and cause inflammation which allows toxins and foreign proteins into the blood stream. Your gut chemistry is then compromised so that nutrients are not absorbed correctly, and you may feel tired, depleted, bloated, unable to sleep, and confused with loss of memory. You may even suffer pain, diarrhea or constipation depending on the amount of water and medications you take in. If you consume too many snacks or are compromised by a set-back of some kind like stress, surgery, or disease you will allow the bad microbes to multiple even more spreading them into other areas such as the colon and esophagus. Constipation allows toxins to penetrate the colon wall and research studies are showing that this can result in colon cancer. The esophageal inflammation can affect your appetite, create GERD or acid reflux, and stomach pain. Dr. Hofmann warns patients by telling them, “that bad bacteria divide every 30 minutes.”
If this goes on too long you could suffer any number of auto-immune disorders from the proteins and toxins that are spread throughout your organs and cells. Now UNDERSTAND THIS: Your mouth is part of this and often reflects what is going on. The mucosa and gingiva around your teeth react to acids and bad bacteria too. They also get inflamed. In the mouth they often swell and allow the destruction of bone around the teeth. This harbors bad bacteria which produce enzymes that break down capillaries and allow both the enzymes and some bad bacteria to get into the bloodstream. These enzymes or bad bacteria have been found in heart tissue, joints, the brain (new studies), pancreas and even the placenta. Recent studies indicate P. gingivalis may initiate pre-term births when the bacteria reach the amniotic fluid and placenta. Poor nutrient absorption results in night blindness and migraines.
Acute inflammation is the first stage and is your body’s normal reaction to what bacteria invasion or injury. However, over time you body loses the ability to react well. When this occurs, you enter a stage of chronic inflammation where your immune system and enzymes can end up attacking your body. This can result in bone loss, joint pain and stiffness, skin and eye problems, and many neuro-muscular problems. A good example of the bone loss occurs in the mouth around teeth in what we call periodontal disease. These boney pockets become havens for very bad bacteria and enzymes that cause heart disease and the other problems listed above. With sugar and empty calorie intake the problems will accelerate.
The unbalanced bacterial flora in the mouth and gut can affect metabolism, your response to invading virus and bacteria, energy production, body weight, and your resistance to toxins, acids, or bacteria within your system. Your compromised system can over time weaken your pancreas and cause diabetes or pancreatitis, weaken your joints and cause rheumatoid arthritis, weaken your mind and cause dementia and other disorders, or damage cells and cause cancer and other growths. The mouth and gut are interconnected with the physiology of the whole body. This is one important reason why I wrote the book: Dentistry Xposed: Protecting You, Your Smile, and Your Wallet. Check it out- it will save your life.
Three other very important messages in the book: 1) The public needs to be aware that there are many scams, falsehoods and myths in dentistry that can affect both their health & budget.
2) Over 500 drugs and medications are produced in America that cause dry mouth. Dry mouth is associated with the inflammation in the mouth discussed above and so is directly linked to all the potential problems listed that are directly related to chronic and acute inflammation. Go to DentistryXposed.com for more info.
3) Sixty years of good research has proved that a simple moleculeof a tasty food-medicine can protect us from both tooth decay and colon cancer in 3 different ways: 1) by stopping bad bacteria and yeast in the mouth and gut; 2) by increasing fluid flow in both mouth and gut, it rids them of those inactivated microbes and toxins; stopping dry mouth and ending constipation; 3) in the colon it is metabolized into butyrate creating a protective film layer; and in the mouth it remineralizes both teeth and bone. This data is and facts are recognized in both Europe and Asia, yet the message has been suppressed here. Sugar reigns and Big money controls the professional associations, the media, the professions and even the government.
