Bad Gums Linked to Heart Disease

[ranhorse]

The gums have a great amount of blood vessels and blood moving through them. Unhealthy gums show on the outside what is likely going on in the inside. There may be some causation too with the bacteria entering the blood system. But I feel most of it is correlation.

I cured my own high blood pressure that was up at 180/120 by finding out what nutrients my body needed. I sell the guide on how I did it at highbloodpressurecures.info. My gums became much healthier when I treated the HBP.

Proven now that they have worked out the mechanism of artery blockages. See PBS on heart disease - any source of bacteria in the blood gets whitecells which flood the area trapped in the artery wall, they die and form blockages.

I know people say that gum disease contributes to heart disease , but i dunno. It justs eems to me thatb the guy who isn't taking care of his heart and teh guy who isn't taking care of his teeth are the same guy. Ya know what i am saying. At this point I am not sure that one causes the other.

Not necessarily true, Cristopher. As a dental hygienist, I see that periodontal disease crosses all sorts of barriers, socioeconomic and overall health wise. And, depending on what study you look at, anywhere from 70 to 85% of the population has perio disease to one degree or another.
