Did you know one of the most primary causes of inflammation starts in your mouth?

Did you know most of the diseases which disable us or make us less able to enjoy good health have at their root cause inflammation? It is true. Did you know one of the primary causes of inflammation starts in your mouth? That is true.

According to the American Dental Association, 75% of American Adults have periodontal disease in their life time. Everyone has heard of or experienced gingivitis. Did you know gingivitis is no small thing? It can cause inflammatory disease in other areas of you body. There are 200+ diseases that involve inflammation. Diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer are among many others which have inflammation as a primary contributing factor. Inflammation from any source is the beginning of cascading events, all spiraling down. It is a big deal when a tooth is infected or lost. It creates more disability than just a gap in your smile. It effects your immune system. It contributes to every aspect of your being in a negative way. Oral disease is a silent killer that makes you suffer until you die.

How you eat and what you eat is at the very core of the top three killers: heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Any practitioner or patient that thinks otherwise is thinking “old school”. That thinking will continue to see people die prematurely and suffer as they do. Many spend the last 20-30 % of their lives suffering.

There are clinical tests which can identify the inflammatory ravages which may appear silent but are deadly. There are ways to determine which foods you may be adversely sensitive to. Much of the food we eat or the processes to produce it are harmful to you much more harmful than you may know. Consider this, “The Protectors” those agencies or groups you are encouraged to listen to and believe may have other agendas then what you think. Our culture is in the danger zone and complacence or over trust on your part will lesson your life and the quality of your life. Your health is your responsibility. You are the only one who can protect you. Take control. Choose carefully what you do and do not do.
