Mouth Matters; How Your Mouth Ages Your Body and What YOU Can Do About It
The sad news is that real doctors and medical students are likely to skip this book, sure they already know everything they need to ... and they would be WRONG! Our medical/illness system fails to teach and almost always fails to treat the root causes of many illnesses, even though they have been clearly identified in the scientific literature.In this incredible book, noted author Carol Vander Stoep has done a masterful job of weaving together the concepts of biological medicine (going beyond using lab tests and complaints, to treat each person in all dimensions) and biological dentistry (dentistry practiced far beyond the drill, fill, and bill patchwork approach of past eras). As we learn more about the fields of pathophysiology, we will ever more appreciate the interconnections of hormones, immunity, infections, inflammation, metabolism, cell functions and division, and toxic chemicals and metals, as these all relate to failing health. This book charts an easy path for readers to more fully appreciate what we know now and especially what actions we can take each day to help restore and preserve more robust health.Mouth Mattersis a made simple guide, one that should be read by every parent hoping to lead their children toward natural healing and away from an expectation of illness, medications, and surgery. While the sad news is that it is less likely to be on your doctor s bookshelf, the good news is it will be a treasured reference in many homes... and hopefully available in most dental offices.Are you ready for a primer that makes modern medical and dental discoveries clearly within your reach, that shows you how small adjustments in your lifestyle can reap huge rewards? ThenMouth Mattersis for you, right now! And strangely enough(?) this should be a gift you share with family and friends, to open for them the prospect of fewer pharmaceutical drugs, a lower likelihood of operations, only occasional doctor visits ... and the blessings of better health!John Parks Trowbridge M.D., FACAM President, International Academy of Biological Dentistry and MedicineDiplomate and Secretary to the Board of Directors of the American Board of Clinical Metal ToxicologyCo-author, The Yeast Syndrome--Dr. Trowbridge as forwarded to the authorI have had the privilege of watching Carol Vander Stoep grow as an author, helping proof her second version ofMouth Mattersas she expanded, improved, and clarified her first edition. She comes from a unique position as an author she addresses very complex subject matter. She researches, understands, applies to clinical practice, and then writes about various topics. This allows her to present the subject in a way a layperson can comprehend and apply, greatly shortening their learning curve.I strongly recommend this book as an easy path for any health professional to become current in this fast evolving field of oral systemic health. The knowledge gained from her creation will also allow health professionals to better explain the connection and interactions between oral health and systemic health to the most important persons in our professional lives, our patients who are entrusting their health to our skills and knowledge.J Tim Rainey, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.--Dr. Rainey as forwarded to the authorCarol Vander Stoep's latest offeringMouth Matters, addresses oral and oral/systemic issues in a clear and comprehendible manner. The chapter on ozone therapy is very timely, as it addresses the most important paradigm shift to occur in dentistry in the last 60 years. This book is a must read for dentists, dental staff and patients.Robert E.
