Question: I perused your research paper on C. Difficle (bacterial infection).
A family member just experienced a bout of this and is now recovered. I’m wondering if your article would be applicable and does calcium therapy prevent C. Difficle recurrence? ~ Your kit “patient” in MI
Answer: Yes, C. Difficle and Fusobacteria findings in medicine fit hand in glove with dental care and dentists bring lot to the table.
Yes, the oral Calcium Therapies help improve general health, even the lower gut. They are not really that far apart and connected. Think of your “gut feelings.” There is great value in oral Calcium Therapies to maintain good dental health, as so many of our patients have done for decades. Every day we see how they gain the benefits against powerful anaerobic bacteria in the mouth, and now we are seeing it in the gut.
That’s the exact problem, C. Difficle recurrence. Once the antibiotic killing sessions have to be terminated, the bacterial spores re-emerge, and give off worse toxins. You can’t keep people on antibiotics for months without end, but calcium materials can change the spore bacteria’s environment for months and even years until they all die because as spores they can’t replicate as well. We sense a door opening.
We have written a paper on the collateral benefits oral treatments can have on the gut. It is being published and after presenting it in Europe in a few weeks, it will be up on our web site for you.
This is using remarkably successful calcium treatments of the mouth with some commonsense that needs to be challenged. Physicians and dentists can prove this is all wrong or amazingly correct and practical science.
So, if you like to use the calcium materials to avoid gut infection, do so. It is easier, cost-effective and safer than surgery, anesthesia, hormones or antibiotics.
Thanks for the insights. Keep in touch.
