  • Researchers Link Joint Deterioration to Periodontal Problems

    For the first time researchers have linked bacterial problems in the mouth to the deterioration of joint health. They found that the spread of adverse mouth bacteria, through the inflamed gum tissue and into the circulation, could wind up in the synovial fluid of joints and cause major problems associated with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

    While this is not the only reason for joint pain and arthritis, I believe it is a common reason for such problems and a contributing factor for a majority of people. I have observed for many years the relationship between digestive inflammation and joint deterioration. For example, in children with inflammatory joint problems it is almost always caused by digestive imbalance. The same is true for many adults. The health of the mouth oftentimes is a reflection of the general digestive health.

    The take home message is clear. Any person suffering from joint pain should also consider their digestive and periodontal health as potential issues affecting their joints. Recently I explained that silver could readily disrupt biofilms (germ gangs) in the mouth, making gargling with colloidal silver one approach. At the most fundamental level of solution is increasing intake of friendly flora and fiber. Other natural immune support compounds may be needed, inclduing fully addressing the Candida issue. Dental work as well as routine cleanings may be very important.

    There is simply no reason to watch your joints disappear simply because you have an unmanaged dental or digestive problem. And as the above study points out, even a joint replacement is likely to fail if the problem goes uncorrected.
