People are becoming more self-sufficient in treating their own illnesses.
The number of books and magazines on health-related subjects demonstrate that consumers are more self-informed about their health needs than ever before.
Dental disease is the most prevalent of all diseases. The United States Public Health Service reports that 98% of all Americans have some form of dental disease, most of which can virtually be eliminated by consumers taking responsibility for their own preventative care.
The oral cavity is the dirtiest (by bacteria count) part of the body. In addition, there are the issues of mercury / silver fillings, nickel crowns, bio-incompatible dental materials, electro-galvanism of dissimilar metals, dead teeth (root canals), residual jaw infections (cavitations), etc., all of which can be additive in their effects on the rest of the body. Furthermore, the major organ acupuncture meridians that flow through the region of the oral cavity and teeth affect these organs at a distance through their effects on the associated meridian / energy pathways.
Recently, there have been numerous research articles in the press regarding how gum disease can release bacteria into the bloodstream which could result in such health risks as heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, pneumonia, premature birth and other infections. Therefore the health of our mouth is crucial to our overall health.
1. Gum Disease: Periodontal disease refers to a localized disease process of the gums and bone that support the teeth. It is estimated that 85 percent of the population has some form of this disease. Gingivitis, characterized by swollen, easily bleeding, irritated gums is the first stage of this disease, and if left untreated, can develop into bone loss, called periodontitis. Both stages of this progressive disease originate from the same cause – dental plaque and an accumulation of microorganisms, which adhere to the tooth surface.
The S.E.S. Therapeutic Tooth Gel and Mouth Rinse help to facilitate the mechanical removal of plaque build up, (the leading cause of dental decay). The S.E.S. Therapeutic Tooth Gel can be used on a toothbrush, or on your finger, massaging onto the area of concern.
In laboratory studies, the stabilized Aloe Vera formula in the S.E.S. Therapeutic Tooth Gel was found to be just as effective as Prednisolone and Indomethacin (common anti-inflammatory drugs), without having the long-term toxicity.
2. Dental Plaque: Plaque is the soft, sticky film composed of various microorganisms, which form on the surfaces of the teeth. If left on the tooth surfaces, these bacteria produce toxins and enzymes that cause cavities and gum disease.
Proper oral hygiene plus the S.E.S. Therapeutic Tooth Gel & Mouth Rinse combination has proven very effective in plaque reduction and removal. Laboratory testing at Baylor College of Dentistry has demonstrated the stabilized Aloe Vera formula to be bactericidal to the five strains of Streptococcus Mutans bacteria, a major bacterial component of dental plaque.
The Man Behind This New Era In Dentistry
Dr. Bill Wolfe graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1968 and received his dental degree from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1972. Dr. Bill Wolfe has pioneered the use of Aloe in dental care products.
Dr. Bill Wolfe's story
In 1980 a dental laboratory technician suggested that Aloe Vera gel might have some uses in dentistry. He was not even sure what Aloe Vera was, so he decided to do some personal research. Through his reading, he discovered that the Aloe Vera plant had many medicinal uses dating back to pre-Christian times, and was even referred to in the Bible, as well as in many technical and professional journals over the past few decades.
He learned that the Aloe Vera plant is remarkable because it is one of the most durable plants known to mankind. The plant has a miraculous ability to self-seal and self-heal, and contains all the nutrients within its leaf in order to survive. When the leaf is damaged, the plant seals the wound and regenerates in accelerated time. Also, it thrives in an arid environment and can withstand extreme heat and physical abuse.
He recently teamed with Dr. Yury Khronopulo who was educated at one of the world's premier schools in the area of the physics of nonlinear vibrations, Gorki University (former USSR), and earned his Post Doctorate degree at Russia's leading Research Institute, Lebedev's Institute of Physics.
With his knowledge of holistic dentistry, herbs and the amazing aloe leaf and Dr. Yuri's knowledge of Subtle Energy Solutions he has developed some of the most exciting dental care products. Click here to learn more.
