Nutrition and Immunity: Lessons for COVID-19
Philip C. Calder The role of the immune system is to protect the individual against pathogenic organisms. Nutrition is one of multiple factors that determines the immune response and good nutrition is important in supporting the immune response. Immunity can be impaired in older people, particularly those who are frail, in those living with obesity, […]
Root Canals, Metal Implants, & Chronic Oxidative Stress
IABDM The problem with root canal therapy is it is a flawed therapy, the intention behind doing it is to be able to fully sterilize a tooth which no longer revives blood supply, nerve supply, lymph drainage or any signs of so called life. Anything that is non-vital is usually energetically a break in the […]
Big Pharms’ Fall: Untold Dental History
Ron Carlson An aspect of general infection theory was the focal theory of infection that asserted that “dental foci” could impact the general health of humans. That these small entities known as bacteria could migrate to other parts through the circulatory system of the body and set up foci of that infection in other organs […]
Root Canal Dangers
Hal Huggins Toxic dental materials have created much havoc in the dental profession, as well as in patient health, for nearly two centuries. Dental mercury fillings, nickel crowns (especially in children, called “chrome crowns”), root canals and cavitations have been the target of concern for a long time.
A New Concept of Biotensegrity Incorporating Liquid Tissues: Blood and Lymph
Bruno Bordoni et al. The definition of fascia includes tissues of mesodermal derivation, considered as specialized connective tissue: blood and lymph. As water shapes rocks, bodily fluids modify shapes and functions of bodily structures. Bodily fluids are silent witnesses of the mechanotransductive information, allowing adaptation and life, transporting biochemical and hormonal signals. While the solid […]
Biotensegrity – The Mechanics of Fascia
Stephen M. Levin Fascia is the fabric of the body; not the vestments, covering the corpus, but the warp and weft of the material. The other tissues, muscle and bone, liver and lung, gut and urinary, brain and endocrine, are embroidered into the fascial fabric. Remove all other tissues from their fascial bed and the […]
Biotensegrity: The Structural Basis of Life
Graham Scarr … In order to properly understand health, dysfunction and disease we must first examine how the body is organized—the architecture of the system and the way that it operates—and that means starting at the beginning. Biotensegrity is increasingly recognized as a more thorough explanation of the mechanics of motion. It examines the basic […]
Lead in Food: A Hidden Health Threat
Environmental Defense Fund No safe level of lead in blood has been identified. In children, even very low blood lead levels can cause behavioral problems and lower IQ. Protecting children’s ability to learn and thrive demands that we find effective ways to reduce exposures to lead from all sources. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) analyzed 11 […]
