Gum Health And Disease

There's some great information on gum and teeth health and it's relation to gum disease and disease in other parts of the body.

It’s a question and answer session with Dr George Meinig, D.D.S. In the interview he talks about some amazing research by Dr. Weston Price, D.D.S.

Here’s a snippet to whet your appetite:

“Dr. Price's first case is very well documented. He removed an infected tooth from a woman who suffered from severe arthritis. As soon as he finished with the patient, he implanted the tooth beneath the skin of a healthy rabbit. Within 48 hours the rabbit was crippled with arthritis!

Further, once the tooth was removed the patient's arthritis improved dramatically. This clearly suggested that the presence of the infected tooth was a causative agent for both that patient's and the rabbit's - arthritis.

In the years that followed, he repeated this procedure many hundreds of times. He later implanted only a portion of the tooth to see if that produced the same results. It did. He then dried the tooth, ground it into powder and injected a tiny bit into several rabbits. Same results, this time producing the same symptoms in multiple animals.”
In general I'm not in favour of animal research, but this is an amazing piece of research. The research was, in fact, done many years ago and ought to be much better known.
