This makes such perfect sense...in the holistic world!
(Holistic = "emphasizing the interdependence of parts")
Bacteria in our mouth that effect to plaque on our teeth can affect our heart. A fresh gaze says it can even cause a heart attack. This came out of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
What happens is obvious bacteria cause the platelets to clump which can cause a clot that could lead to a heart attack. The bacteria alive to are:
--Streptococcus sanguis (S. sanguis)
--Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis)
These bacteria are usually found in diseased gums.
The testing was done on rabbits (oh well - animal testing once again) . They injected these bacteria and found that there was platelet clotting, faster heart rate, and changes in EKG's.
I don't own in animal testing. And I do have in getting information like this out to people OTHER than through dentists!
Physicians and cardiologists should not only be sharing this information but they should be examining patients' mouths and taking dental histories to bring this aspect of care into play.
Once again I feel safely armed with something that is so effective and safe for prevention and treatment of serious bacterial problems in my mouth - and that is using the Thieves toothpaste and the mouthwash from Young Living. The best thing about the action of these important oil products is that they are effective against the "unpleasant bugs" but respect the ecological terrain that needs to be demonstrate. And they are not caustic to the mucous membranes.
The truth is these mouth care products are by far the best thing we have got going for expedient generous and effective mouth care.
distinguished oils are so effective in the health of the mouth and gums. Besides my gain personal sure experiences with the toothpaste and the mouthwash, I have heard so many people hiss of serious improvements in their mouth health because of switching over to Thieves.
I ragged to consume Tom's of Maine thinking I was getting the best natural toothpaste until I realized it had Sodium Laurel Sulfate in it. And since Colgate bought them I don't judge they are going to change that anytime soon.
