Dead Teeth!

Just finished reading an article in a favorite holistic magazine. What has garnered my attention? An article about oral health; particularly--root canals and the use of antibiotics. The use of root canals, (something I feel very strongly about) contributes to many of the sinus problems we've dealt with here.

What's interesting...is the tremendous amount of health "miasms" we deal with that are often resultant of poor oral health! Whether it starts from cracked amalgams (fillings), and fractured teeth-to root canals (dead-teeth). These "oral" problems often preclude many types of re-occuring health problems!

There has always been something quite strange, about leaving 'dead teeth' in your body! When other body parts are diseased or dead--they are removed. In the case of root canals...the tooth is traumatized (by the actions of drilling out the "root" and filling it in with a sealant where the nerve used to be located.) Then left for dead in your mouth!

After a root canal, the root filling shrinks a tiny bit. This creates a leakage that allows microscopic bacteria to migrate. Bacteria are highly adaptable and can mutate to fit almost any condition--with or without oxygen. In the process, "good" bacteria can become pathogenic (bad) and produce potent toxins!

Normally, a strong immune system may be able to fight off systemic damage, but if you are immune-compromised, the toxins from "dead-teeth"...along with the metals in your mouth (or cavitations), find their way into the blood stream, migrating to other organs and tissues--initiating a chronic illness.

The reason why antibiotics are needed is because it has been proven, bacteria that live in the mouth can easily enter the blood stream and travel to the heart and joints where they frequently cause endocarditis and many other infections!

Many dentists do not realize that antibiotics cannot reach bacteria in "dead teeth". With a root canal, the "dead-tooth" lacks a blood supply to its interior. Antibiotics circulating in the blood stream, have no way to penetrate this dead tissue and hence have no effect on the bacteria contained therein.

(Unfortunately--standard dentisrty still has a disconnect between what happens in our mouth...and our overall health!)

our city...

I see our local Farmer's Market is being moved to a different place, for the next two weekends (20th June & 27th June). This is one of those "notification" kind of things, that occured AFTER I had already attended the market on Saturday. One of our customers brought in a flier, to make those of us here--aware of the change. (Some things NEVER cease to amaze me!)

I look at two towns-one just west of us...the other east of us in the next county. Both of these are small towns...but have fairly amazing Farmer's Markets. I've asked myself on many occasions, "Why aren't we mirroring some of their techniques--and--becoming as well known as they currently are--for the types of vendors...as well as the foods they offer?" When I am downtown at our local Farmer's Market--the ever constant comment that's spoken...time and time again..."Oh, you really need to go to St. John-their's is REALLY better than this...or--You really need to go to Chesterton because, they have amazing stuff that I've not seen anywhere else..."

I have never heard these kind of comments about OUR Farmer's Market! Why?

It's been made to sound like the "planners" had to scrape the bottom of the barrel, just to get what we have--to show up! I hope this is not true!

We have an amazing city...we have a beautiful downtown--we have many "local" farmers. What's missing here? Is it patron participation? Is it vendor participation? Or perhaps...is it both?

It's about time!

Okay--
--so you ask what took so long to do this? Time. Like we needed to add another thing to our already crowded schedule...
...but, we have a lot to say (or at least we think we do!) You guys ask a lot of questions here at the business--and quite often--well frankly--we're sure other customers would like to hear the answers to also.

So, with that said--We will try doing this (We are already on Twitter...it's a good contact point) We are amazed at how many people from the UK are following the "tweets"; the "Brits" are a little more advanced than we are here...in regards to the whole Organic-alternative health care movement.

We hope to have a good following...once we get the hang of this. Thanks for reading!
