Grandma, My Name Is Becky.

Mothers! Talk to your Children about Alzheimer’s

disease.

Imagine listening to your five year old child crying to your mother:

“Grandma, my name is Becky”. Today, memory

problems are becoming an all too frequent

reality. Diminished cogitation, dementia, and

Alzheimer’s disease are an epidemic effecting

hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

Everyone knows someone close to them with

memory problems.

Would you believe that science has made major breakthroughs in the

understanding of Alzheimer’s disease? Would you believe that the disease is

totally preventable? Well, it’s true. This article will give you the tools and

understanding to begin to prevent this mind destroying infection today. Our

children can look forward to a lifetime of a perfectly functioning brain. For older

persons, you can change a few things in your everyday habits to begin to stop the

progress of memory loss and begin to improve it. Unfortunately, when full blown

Alzheimer’s disease exists, there is no way to reverse it with present technology.

So intercepting it and preventing it is our only hope to

eliminate it for future generations.

Mothers! You are the key “care giver” responsible for

teaching your children and family members the principles

that are paramount for eliminating memory problems for

those you love. You are the one who determines the menu

for the nourishing of your family. You are the one, for the

most part, who teaches your children habits that will be repeated throughout

your child’s lifetime. Good habits equal a long and healthy life with excellent

memory. Poor eating habits lead to poor health, chronic disease and diminished

memory later in life.

Understanding the basic cause and then taking what causes chronic disease

seriously can result in the elimination of this devastating disease in only one

generation. Making the suggested changes in an serious fashion, as if your child’s

life is at stake, is what is needed to make the life style changes that are necessary

to eliminate the chronic infection that causes Alzheimer’s disease. It is an

everyday education of your children in the type of foods that strengthen the

immune system. It is avoiding the diets child love, namely produces with sugar,

refined carbohydrates, and corn syrup loaded with empty calories.

Poison masked with sweetness deceives us as something good. However,

the long-term health results of a diet of sugar, corn syrup, and refined

carbohydrates lead to both poor health and a pitiable immune system.

Mothers you need to start early

and begin reprograming the children’s

minds to think of sweets as poison

worse than cocaine and other mind

altering drugs. More people die from

sugary diets by far than from illicit

drugs. You must educating your

children to not listen to the money

making candy industry commercials on

TV that are only out to make a profit and not interested in the health of your

child. Reprogram your children to think of TV candy hawkers as liars. Part of the

answer to a robust immune system is avoiding “sweets”.

The secrets of a long healthy live will be revealed in this article. It’s simple,

not complicated. Only you, Mothers, can take control of your health and

ultimately your family’s health.

Before all the secrets can be revealed, one must understand the dental

disease that results in decayed teeth, abscessed teeth, “gum” disease and

extracted teeth. Simply stated, it is an imbalance of bacteria in your mouth. The

“bad” bacteria overpopulate and overwhelm the “good” bacteria. This happens

because of three changes in our environment and eating habits. A “perfect storm”

has occurred in the last one to two hundred years. These changes represent

“three legs of a stool.” Cut off the legs and the stool will collapse. We will tell you

how to knock out all three legs and eliminate dental disease as well as prevent

and even, reverse chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Alzheimer’s

disease is one of these autoimmune diseases.

For young people, you can look forward to never having a cavity or “gum”

disease; no painful dental procedures or uncomfortable dental cleanings. For

older people, new cavities can be drastically reduced and “gum” disease can be

stopped. Unfortunately, for older people with many crowns, missing teeth and

fillings dentistry will still be a reality to repair previous dental work and replace

teeth already missing in your mouth. In both cases, bleeding “gums” and painful

“bloody cleanings” will be a thing of the past.

“Three Legs of a Stool”

First Leg: Spread of Disease Worldwide — The 500-600 bacteria in our mouths

are, for the most part, the same worldwide. However, research has shown that

the particular strains of

these bacteria have

changed since Homo

sapiens initially migrated

from Africa to all parts of

the world thousands of years ago. We became isolated from each other for

millenniums in our home lands scattered around the earth. As long as we “stayed

put” and remained segregated from each other and did not travel far from our

isolated communities, we became immune to our own strains of bacteria. Once

“trains, planes, and automobiles” arrived and travel was dramatically increased,

all the changed strains of previously harmless bacteria now had access to distant

populations where immunity did not excess. Oral bacteria are extremely

contagious and spread quickly once introduced into new distant populations.

Today the strains are distributed everywhere worldwide.

Second Leg: Sterilization of our environment, food and cooking methods — In

this modern age, we sterilize everything from counter tops that we wash with

antiseptics, our hands, and irradiated food imported from over-seas. The

sterilization eliminates not only “bad”

bacteria in our diet, but “good”

bacteria, as well. Our gut needs

“good” bacteria to control the over

population of “bad” bacteria. That is

why we hear so much today about

the benefits of taking probiotics to

re-populate our guts with “good”

bacteria.

Third Leg: Dramatic Change in Our Diets — In the last one to two hundred years

there has been a dramatic

increase in the consumption of

refined sugar, carbohydrates and

corn syrup. This has negatively

affected our consumption of

nutritious foods with needed

micro-nutriments our immune

system needs for robust

resistance and invulnerability to

disease. The calories gained from

these “junk” foods are empty and of no use for a healthy body. Plus, they are a

great part of the cause of the current epidemic of obesity prevalent in the

industrialized world. These same foods allows the over population of “bad”

bacteria that cause chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease.

What’s the Problem?

Millions of dollars spent on medical research for many years is paying off.

Dental disease, both abscessed teeth and “gum” disease, are directly related to

most diseases of modern man, such as Alzheimer’s disease, as well as, periodontal

disease, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, and a very long list of

other chronic inflammatory auto-immune diseases. According to the World

Health Organization, these chronic diseases have become a worldwide epidemic.

Unfortunately, it requires many years for the understanding of these

diseases learned about from research to “filter-down” and be accepted by the

clinical dentists and physicians who diagnose and treat chronic disease. The vast

majority of clinicians have no idea that certain “bad” bacteria called oral

spirochetes are the most dangerous bacteria that overpopulates the “gum” in the

mouth and is thought to be the instigator of chronic inflammatory autoimmune

disease. Physicians, as a group, do not seem to know that spirochetes are the

problematic organisms in periodontal disease. They know of other spirochetes

diseases, such as Syphilis and Lyme disease, but do not know that spirochetes are

the predominate organism in “gum” periodontal disease. If they did know, they

would not have patronized them for decades as the dentists have done.

Physicians know that spirochete diseases are all bad.

The Relationship between Dental and Systemic Disease

The relationship between dental and heart

disease has been reported in scientific literature and

national news for several years. However, the

periodontal specialists and dental profession in general

for many years until just recently, refused to

acknowledge that periodontal disease is the root cause

of chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. As a

matter of fact for the first time since this relationship became known many

years ago, in May 2013, the periodontal specialty organizations in both the

United States and Europe admitted and are publishing articles in their

professional journals that there is a strong relationship between periodontal

disease and heart disease, Diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases, such as

Alzheimer’s disease. This concept is now “main stream” in medicine, and it is

about time.

The relationship between periodontal disease and cognitive ability has only

recently surfaced from university studies. A study done in West Virginia showed

that patients among community-dwelling older adults have diminished health, as

well as decreased cognitive ability. Tooth loss and tooth decay was studied in very

old Swedish people. The conclusions surmised that an association between the

cognitive and functional status of these individuals and aspects of oral health

were correlated. Further studies were recommended to better determine the oral

health status of these individual leading to the deterioration of overall health in

older adults. A London study showed that there is a correction between poor oral

health and worse cognitive function throughout adult life. Crout, in a report to

the WVU Health News Letter reported finding that “keeping the mouth free of

infection could cut down on cases of dementia.”

A Japanese group headed by Okamoto, investigated a very large grouping

of elderly population in a cross-sectional study in the relationship between the

number of remaining teeth (a proxy to periodontal disease) to mild memory

impairment, which is a preclinical stage of dementia, and to cognitive impairment.

The subjects were aged 65 years or older and were grouped according to their

score for the Mini-Mental State Examination three-word delayed recall test to

test memory impairment. They collected data on the number of remaining teeth,

the number of years these people were missing their teeth, health-related

lifestyle, medical history, blood pressure, height, and body weight.

The results reported include: The test was adjusted for depressive

symptoms, age, sex, length of education, and other explanatory variables. The

results revealed a significant relationship between the length of the tooth loss

period and the risk of a low Mini-Mental State Examination test score which

strongly suggest that tooth loss is associated with memory loss.

Judith Miklossy, a Swiss researcher,

published the most authoritative paper to date on

the subject. It categorically states that oral

spirochetes, as well as the spirochetes that cause

Lyme disease and syphilis, all cause dementia and

Alzheimer’s disease.

She reports that the “accumulated knowledge, the

various views, and hypotheses proposed to explain

the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease form

together a comprehensive entity when observed in

the light of a persisting chronic inflammation and

amyloid deposition initiated and sustained by

chronic spirochetal infection. As suggested by Hill,

once the probability of a causal relationship is established prompt action is

needed. Similarly to Syphilis, one may prevent and eradicate dementia in

Alzheimer’s disease. The impact on healthcare costs and on the suffering of the

patients would be substantial.”

An understanding of, or probable

theories of cognitive disorders have been

veiled in mystery. However, a mounting

body of evidence points to a viable

prevention of mental disorders if oral

health is maintained in healthy individuals

and periodontal disease is intercepted and

treated in periodontal diseased individuals.

Also, understanding the cause can lead to

curing this devastating disease.

A specific dental bacterium in concert

with other bacteria which cause gum

disease (periodontal disease) is now implicated in causing Alzheimer’s disease.

Recent findings directly implicate the specific “cork-screw-oral-bugs” specifically,

oral spirochete, (a very close cousin to the same “bugs” that cause syphilis and

Lyme disease) to the production of amyloid which clogs up the brain in disorders,

such as, diminished memory, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. These bacteria

can gain access to the blood through diseased “bleeding gums” and cause major

problems resulting in diseases in “body organs” far away from the mouth. The life

cycle of these nasty bugs are so sneaky that it has taken more than one hundred

years to unravel the puzzle.

How do Harmful Spirochetes get Into the Body to Cause Disease?

First of all, it is important to realize how dirty the mouth really is. DNA

analyses of the “bugs-in-the-mouth” reveal over five hundred different species of

bacteria. When you analyze the entire DNA in the human body, only 20% is

actually human. The other 80% DNA represents bacteria, virus, and fungus. Our

bodies are actually a “microbial garden” and needs to be carefully attended to be

healthy.

Of the 500+ bacteria in the mouth, some are very bad, especially

spirochetes. Recent studies have even shown that the dangerous spirochete that

causes Syphilis is also present in the mouth when analyzing normal saliva. These

bacteria are harmless when in small numbers. Normally the “good” bacteria

greatly out number and inhibit the actions of the “bad” bacteria. When the

stability of “good” and “bad” get out of balance, problems occur.

The gingival sulcus (the trough or valley around the

teeth that seals the “gums” to the roots of the teeth) is an

amazing apparatus. It is designed to allow teeth to be

attached to the jaw bone “inside the body” and seals the

tooth as it exits through the “gums” into the mouth. When

healthy, no bacteria, virus or any other organism can break

through this protective barrier and get into the blood. When

diseased, the “bad” bacteria dramatically outnumber the

“good” bacteria. The “gums” breaks down forming a nasty bleeding open wound.

This foul smelling pus-forming wound becomes an open doorway for “bad bugs,”

especially spirochetes, to pass into the blood and cause an ever growing list of life

threatening sicknesses.

How Spirochetes Spread Around the World

The most commonly known and most understood of all the spirochetal diseases is

syphilis. The “Columbian Exchange Theory” holds that syphilis was a New World

disease brought back to Europe by Columbus and Martin Alonso Pinzón. It is likely

that a highly contagious ancestral species of the bacteria moved with our early

human ancestors when they came from Europe across the land bridge of the

Bering Straits into the Americas many thousands of years ago, without dying out

in the original source population. Over the thousands of years since the

spirochete migrated inside the bodies of our early descendants, it changed

dramatically. Evidence links crewmen of Columbus’s ocean voyages to the Naples

syphilis outbreak of 1494. Even though the bacteria, called Treponema pallidum,

were the same genus, its strains were very different and caused a severe disease

epidemic in the population of Europe. The same can be said for Lyme disease

(caused by a close cousin to Syphilis) and oral spirochetes.

How do Spirochetes Gain Access into the Body

Spirochetes have different physical forms, some of which have been known

for at least one hundred years. Without getting into too much detail since this

information is documented elsewhere (see references), the forms are, simply

stated: granular forms, “cell-wall deficient” forms, and cyst forms. You can think

of them as “spore-like” forms and these forms allow easy spread from one

individual to another by intimate contact, contaminated food, and aerosol. It is

easy to catch, but hard to exterminate once passed into a new host. This article

will explain how to protect you from these “nasty” spirochetes.

Bio-Film and Difficulty in Killing Spirochetes in the Mouth: Spirochetes

produce a very protective biofilm. In the mouth this biofilm is called dental plaque

(the sticky white substance that coats the teeth). In “gum” disease, the gingival

sulcus (valley between the “gum” and teeth), gets deeper and collects plaque.

Dentists now use microscopes to take samples of this plaque to diagnosis the

severity of “gum” disease. Recent studies done to kill bacteria before performing

a dental cleaning have shed light on how protective this oral biofilm (dental

plaque) actually is to protect the bacteria living with it. The studies took patients

with “gum” disease who had large number of spirochetes within the biofilm

plaque. Several strong chemicals [ozone, chlorhexidine, diluted bleach, colloidal

silver and Betadine [iodine]) were carefully introduced into the gingival sulcus

with a small blunt delivery cannula. The chemical was allowed to remain within

the sulcus for two minutes. The very disturbing results were that these chemicals

were not able to penetrate and completely sterilize the gingival sulcus.

Spirochetes were always found in the microscopic examination after the chemical

treatment. The only ways to completely eliminate the spirochetes were with a

combination of a “deep cleaning” and laser treatment while the patient was

covered by antibiotics. The good news is that once the spirochetes are eliminated,

the simple hygiene methods described later are very effective in not allowing

them to re-populate the “gums.”

“Spore-like” Forms in the “Gum” Cells: If it is not bad enough that the

spirochetes are protected by a tough biofilm, there is one more piece of the

puzzle that needs to be addressed. Recent research has shown that oral bacteria

actually enter and live inside the epithelial “gum” (cells that form the lining of the

gingival sulcus or pocket around the teeth). Researchers believe that these cells

are the source for recontamination of the “gums” once the teeth are cleaned by

the dentist. A microscopic examination can be performed to diagnosis these

stealth bacteria, completely unknown to dentists until very recently. To

completely eliminate these bacteria, a laser is used to vaporize them. Then with

hygiene methods described herein, the “gums” can be cleaned daily to prevent

re-contamination and re-population. No more painful cleanings thereafter.

Can I Catch “Gum” Disease from a partner?

In a word, Yes. “Gum” disease is very communicable. Science has shown

that families and “care-givers” within the families have the same types of bacteria

in their mouths. Singles who are sexually active can “catch” periodontal disease

from their dates. People do not understand that “gum” disease is more dangerous

than most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Even

though they are uncomfortable, rarely does

gonorrhea, human papillary disease (HPD), or

Chlamydia, for example, kill people. AIDs and Syphilis

are another story and they are dangerous. Heart

disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease take many

decades to develop but are unquestionably,

assuredly, killers in the long-run.

How do I Know I Have These “Bad-bugs?

How do I know I have “gum” disease? “Gum” disease is best learned by

noticing that your “gums” bleed when they are brushed. Is there blood in your

mouth in the morning when you wake-up? Another suspicion is if someone tells

you that you have “bad-breath.”

For women, do your “gums” bleed at “certain times of the month?” Or if

you are pregnant, do your “gums” bleed easily when they are brushed? If so, then

you have “gum” disease. The dentist can confirm the existence of these

spirochetes with a microscope.

How to Prevent the “Bad-bugs” from Gaining Entrance to your Body

The answer is to get your “gums” healthy. How do we keep the “gums”

healthy? You would think this must be impossible or very difficult because of all

the major diseases these “bad bugs” cause. The

answer to keeping the “gums” healthy is surprising

easy. All the products that you need can be purchased

and are very inexpensive.

Where do I Start?

Traditionally, the best way to find out if you

have “gum” disease is to ask your dentist. The dentist

can diagnosis the problematic bacteria and suggest

treatment to get rid of the malicious culprits. For people who have periodontal

disease, it is best to seek the care of a dentist who can, in most cases, treat the

condition with a combination of an antibiotics, deep cleaning, and laser surgery.

Give the dentist a copy of the book, The Silent Saboteurs, which you can purchase

at the website: www.lymebook.com. This book has the latest on this subject

which your dentist may not know. Another resource is the blog:

www.lifeguardyourhealth.com.

Three Steps to Get Started

First Step: Get Rid of the Spirochetes — If you do not have the signs of “gum”

disease described earlier, you do not even need a dentist to get started, even

though the process is best monitored by the dentist. You can put together your

own Tool Kit to begin fighting “gum” disease immediately.

Tool Kit for Orally Transmitted Diseases

To get started protecting yourself from bacteria

passed to you purchase the following items:

1. An oral irrigator (i.e., HydroFloss™).

2. A special mixture of anti-microbial essential

oils and emulsifier.

3. A box of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda.

4. Table salt.

5. A small one-cup plastic container with lid.

6. An ordinary tooth brush.

Instructions to be done most effectively everyday just before bedtime

Use of Irrigator:

1. Place the mixture of natural essential antimicrobial oils and emulsifier into

the irrigator.

2. Fill the oral irrigator up to approximately 2/3’s with warm tap water and stir

to get the oils well mixed into the water.

3. Turn on the irrigator and direct the jet of water irrigator at an angle to flush

out the area between your gums and teeth and also between your teeth

until the water bath solution is gone.

Use of Baking Soda and Salt: Mix ½ cup of

Baking Soda with 1 teaspoon of salt, mix it

together and place it in the one cup plastic

container.

1. Wet the tooth brush with water and

dip it into the mixture of baking

soda and salt. Brush your teeth

with this mixture making sure to get

the mixture into the gingival sulcus

and between your teeth.

2. Rinse out the excess mixture and go

to bed.

By performing this hygiene procedure just

before bedtime, the majority of the

bacteria in your mouth is killed and not

allowed to multiply and cause bad breath

and disease in the warm and undisturbed

environment of your mouth while you

sleep. When you awake in the morning,

your breath should be fresh and clean.

Spouses or new partners need to be

instructed to visit his/her dentist for a periodontal disease check and tooth

cleaning and begin the hygiene regiment described above before any intimate

contact.

Theory of Action: The special emulsifier acts like soap when used in the

irrigator and helps blast off and wash away the gummy film and plaque from the

teeth at the same time the antimicrobial essential oils is killing bacteria.

Baking soda and salt kills bacteria and also neutralizes acids produced by

“bad-bugs.” Oral spirochetes need an acid environment to survive in the mouth.

The baking soda neutralizes this acid produced by the “bad-bug.” Salt is a

preservative and bacteria cannot live in a salty environment. Baking soda and salt

used together is the most effective way to keep your mouth free of the harmful

bacteria long-term.

Second step: Add “Good” Bacteria to Your Diet —

Since the methods described above kills all bacteria,

it is important to include a good yogurt or probiotic

(purchased at a health food market) to your diet on

a regular basis. These products replenish “good”

bacteria replacing and inhibiting “bad” bacteria.

These “good” bacteria are not only necessary for

controlling the over population of “bad” oral

bacteria in your mouth, they inhibit and replenish

“good” necessary bacteria in the stomach, and the

large and small intestine in the gut. Crohn's disease,

diverticulitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and other

intestinal abnormalities are examples of such

diseases. Great promise has been achieved by implanting fecal material from

healthy persons to unhealthy persons suffering from these imbalances of bacteria

in the gut.

Third Step: Life style Change — Developing good eating

habits by eliminating sugar, corn syrup, and refined

carbohydrates is an absolute necessity in achieving health

and protection against chronic inflammatory autoimmune

diseases. Conclusive scientific evidence completed and

published in over one thousand articles has proven that

diseases such as heart disease can be prevented and even

reversed just by changing eating habits. The key is to

make the main portion of your meal vegetables.

Vegetables have all the micro-nutrients to boost the immune system and fight the

microbes that would cause harm.

Final Words

You need to take charge of your own health. Even though the contents of

this article are well known within the research community, it will be years before

it is common knowledge among clinicians who actually treat chronic diseases. The

references below will give you the information to begin to understand and master

your our destiny and health. To protect yourself from these invading new strains

of bacteria, use the dental advice and oral hygiene practices described in this

article to eliminate them and enjoy life abundantly disease free.
