disease is caused by both regular sized bacteria and ultramicrobacteria
Treatment
is a two pronged solution because plaque and periodontal
disease are caused by both normal bacteria and plaque bacteria.
Normal bacteria grow in a pH under 7.4 and plaque bacteria
grow in a ph over 7.4. The solution to this dilemma is to
stop normal bacteria when they do the most damage and stop
plaque bacteria when they do the most damage. Normal bacteria
do the most damage in the sleeping hours. Plaque bacteria
do the most damage during the day hours, mainly after beverages
or meals. The maintenance process can be called integrative
therapy. During sleep, there is very little saliva to grow
plaque. There is very little saliva to keep bacteria from
growing. As a result, large concentrations of bacteria enter
the mouth during the night. When the body awakes, the mouth
has a foul odor and there is a film of bacteria on the surfaces
of the teeth. Current oral hygiene products are able to
address the nightime infiltration of bacteria. The problem
that oral hygiene products can not and does not address
is the formation of dental plaque during the day. Oral hygiene
products can not kill plaque bacteria. In fact, they initiate
growth of plaque due to plaque bacteria.
Plaque
prevention
Review
of the conditions that form dental plaque are increase
pH, magnetic field that attracts calcium and water that
contains calcium and plaque bacteria. Prevention of plaque
is to change the conditions to lower the pH, change the
polarity of the magnetic field and change the ions in
water. Changing the pH to under 7.4 can be accomplished
by using safe concentration of acids. Acids are solutions
that contain extra protons. The extra protons buffer or
neutralize the excess amount of electrons that are found
in an alkaline solution. Changing the magnetic field to
repel calcium can also be done by introducing safe acids
into the environment. Plaque is formed when the magnetic
field is pointing to the earth's magnetic south pole.
This condition is the same as a north pole magnet that
makes saliva and blood alkaline. The solution is to change
the magnetic field to one that is attracted to the north
pole by making the saliva and blood neutral or acidic.
Water can be changed by using magnets to change the alkaline
water to acid water. Treatment for pH is the same as for
magnetic fields, which is the same as for water. Three
separate problems are interlinked to have the same solution.
Treatment for dental plaque prevents calcium formation
but also initiates bacteria growth. The ultimate solution
is to prevent pathogenic bacteria from growing while preventing
plaque. The goal of Biotechnology is to accomplish both
without use of antibacterial agents. Biotech products
can be used as supplements to help prevent periodontal
disease.
Supplemental
enzymes and antioxidants
Enzymes
are needed to digest food particles after meals. Without
food particles, bacteria can not form toxins. Without
toxins, gingivitis that initiates plaque formation can
not occur. Enzymes are necessary in today's world because
foods purchased at the Supermarket lack enzymes to digest
them. Processed food adds preservatives, food coloring,
and other agents to make the food presentable to the public.
Processing food destroys many of the necessary enzymes
needed for digestion. Fresh foods need to be cooked to
destroy bacteria. Cooking destroys enzymes necessary to
digest foods. Supplemental enzymes, vitamins and minerals
are a booming market because food lack natural enzymes
and coenzymes to digest today's foods. Supplements are
introduced into the gut where they bypass the oral cavity.
Enzymes and coenzymes (vitamins and minerals) should be
introduced into the oral cavity first to provide proper
digestion. Enzymes and coenzymes should be introduced
into an oral rinse or in toothpaste. Plant enzymes are
needed to digest plant foods and proteolytic enzymes are
needed to digest meat and milk products. Vitamins and
minerals are necessary to promote proper enzyme action.
Enzymes are proteins that grab onto substrates of food
particles and breaks down the large particles into smaller
particles. This uncoupling action makes the smaller particles
easy to digest. Without enzymes, food particles remain
to be attacked by pathogenic bacteria to turn into toxins.
The toxins are the beginning of gingivitis and periodontal
disease.
Dental Plaque and periodontal disease is the result of
oxidation in the oral cavity. Oxidation is due to oxidants
that make the body fluids in the oral cavity alkaline.
Oxidation of food particles cause decay that are attacked
by pathogenic bacteria. The solution to oxidants is antioxidants.
Antioxidants are protein enzymes that tie up the unpaired
electron that is the cause of oxidation. The immune system
produces antioxidants to combat oxidants called free radicals
in the blood and lymph fluid. When the immune system becomes
weak, as in older people, supplements of antioxidants
are needed. Yet, antioxidants are taken in pill forms
that bypass the oral cavity. The oral cavity needs help
by supplemental antioxidants just as the inner body needs
antioxidants.
Probiotics
Probiotics
may be the best natural supplement to prevent periodontal
disease. Probiotics is nature's way of controlling pathogenic
bacteria. The law of nature is that all species should
live in harmony in their environment. To keep one specie
from overpopulating the environment, nature has created
competition among species. The competition is called competitive
exclusion. Competitive exclusion is where two similar
species fight for the same limited resources. The one
that is most comfortable in the environment will eliminate
the other specie. This battle is a selective process because
nature did not intend for different specie to fight against
each other. In humans, plants and animals, pathogenic
bacteria compete against beneficial bacteria. They are
called beneficial bacteria because they benefit the host
by promoting cell growth. They are called pathogenic because
they harm the host by destroying cell growth. When the
beneficial bacteria and pathogenic bacteria are of equal
population, neither specie dominates. It is when the pathogenic
bacteria dominate and control the environment that there
is disease. Pathogenic bacteria influence the other bacteria
to become pathogens so that the population is overpopulated
with pathogenic bacteria. This condition is called dysbiosis,
which means an imbalance of pathogenic bacteria to beneficial
bacteria. In the oral cavity, dysbiosis results in pathogenic
bacteria causing gingivitis, the precurser to periodontal
disease. By introducing high concentrations of beneficial
bacteria back into the oral cavity, the balance is restored
and the pathogens are not able to cause gingivitis. Beneficial
bacteria control pathogens by another way, which is enzyme
war between the two specie. Similar bacteria posess the
same kind of enzymes to block cell breathing of their
foe. Beneficial bacteria release enzymes that block energy
transfer to stop the proton pump needed for cell breathing.
The pathogen suffocates and dies from lack of energy.
The beneficial bacteria can then influence the other bacteria
to become beneficial bacteria. The balance of dysbiosis
switches and the disease is reversed. Once the beneficial
bacteria take over the environment, they can starve the
pathogens by hoarding the natural resources that the pathogens
need. Probiotics not only control pathogenic bacteria
but they keep plaque bacteria from forming calcium crystals.
Calcium crystals can be formed only in an alkaline environment
that has a pH above 7.6. Probiotic bacteria are fermentation
bacteria that produce acids to lower the pH to being acidic.
In an acid environment, plaque bacteria return back to
spores. Calcium carbonate crystals are changed to calcium
bicarbonate that is water soluble and does not form crystals.
Probiotics is the one Biotech product that is able to
prevent plaque formation and control pathogenic bacteria
at the same time. By using probiotics, there is no need
for enzyme supplements and antioxidant supplements. Beneficial
bacteria have the enzymes to digest all three food substances
of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Beneficial bacteria
produce antioxidants to prevent oxidation in saliva, blood
and lymph fluids in the oral cavity. When it comes to
treating dental plaque and periodontal disease, probiotics
is the complete supplement. As a bonus, probiotics is
a water purifier. It comes as no surprise that probiotics
can do all these things because beneficial bacteria have
been used to fight pathogens that cause disease in plants
and animals. Beneficial bacteria are used to clean wastewater.
Beneficial bacteria are used to provide the nutrients
in contaminated soil. Beneficial bacteria are used to
breakdown odor in the animal and poultry industry. Beneficial
bacteria are nature's solution to preventing dental disease.
Supplemental
water
Treatment
for dental plaque and periodontal disease has to include
water. Water is the transport that brings plaque bacteria
into the oral cavity and is the media that creates the
magnetic field of plaque bacteria in saliva, blood and
lymph fluid. Tap water is alkaline and a potential for
plaque. Tap water carries calcium that can be turned into
plaque. The solution to tap water is to change the ionization.
Alkaline water has a high concentration of electrons.
South pole magnets can be used to neutralize the excess
electrons and make the water have a higher concentration
of protons. The change in ionization will make the magnetic
field of plaque bacteria repel calcium. Magnets are being
used to prevent scale buildup in wastewater lines. Dental
plaque can be thought of as scale because scale are also
calcium deposits. Scale may be caused by plaque bacteria.
Robert Folk believes that all mineral deposits may be
caused by plaque bacteria. Another way to look at dental
plaque is that it is rust and corrosion in the oral cavity.
Rust is oxidation of metals in water. Prevention of rust
is to use ionized water.
Other
supplements
The
human body uses magnesium to replace calcium. Minerals
replace other minerals. For example, sodium replaces potassium
and magnesium replaces calcium. Magnesium supplements
are used in heart conditions because arteriosclerosis
is caused by calcium deposits that block the coronary
arteries. Magnesium replaces the calcium and does not
form plaque crystals. The one physical property of magnesium
is that it does not readily crystallize. Magnesium supplements
may be used in the oral cavity to displace calcium.
Calcium deposits do not form in blood because there are
blood inhibitors. Osteocalcin and osteopontin are two
key inhibitors of calcium formation in blood. The way
that they repel calcium is due to their amino acid configuration.
The sequence of arginine glycine and aspartine is called
RGD. This sequence makes the protein blood inhibitors
prevent plaque formation. By using FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum)
in the oral cavity, there should be prevention of plaque
formation. Kajander found that in vitro, he could not
form plaque when the media contained bovine or human blood
serum.
Certain foods and beverages prevent plaque formation.
They are called fermentation foods. These foods have been
treated with probiotic bacteria to age to be bring out
the nutrients. This aging process lowers the pH to prevent
plaque formation. Yogurt, pickle juice, apple cider, vinegar,
buttermilk and even fine wine will lower the pH to prevent
plaque. It is important to remember that most products
that lower the pH, make the environment favorable for
adult bacteria growth. It is for this reason that probiotics
may be the best supplement to prevent plaque and periodontal
disease.

bacteria have been discovered only during the last decade
but the existence of resistant spores that cause diseases
have been taught for over one hundred and fifty years.
The theory is called pleomorphism.
