Evaluate Dental Scores on
Body Balance Questionnaire
If you have scored over 12 points on the
Dental
section of the Body Balance Questionnaire, you are experiencing a compromised situation in your periodontal health. This is a serious condition that you should not dismiss lightly.
In July of 1998, the American Academy of Periodontology published a report that stated: "Infections in the mouth can play havoc elsewhere in the body." Microbial infections, including those caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites have demonstrated an association between periodontal diseases and the following systemic complications: cardiovascular disease and stroke, diabetes, respiratory diseases, osteoporosis, and pre-term low birth weight babies. Additionally, periodontal disease can stress your entire
immune system. It has also been linked to chronic fatigue, and increased risk for contracting other diseases – typically colds, flu like systems – and overall malaise.
So are regular dental cleanings necessary? Absolutely. Did you know that 85% of adults have periodontal disease of one sort or another? A hygienist, educated in biological dentistry, can probably play the single most important role in your total preventive program. What use to be a "regular cleaning" just became a much more valuable experience for your health.
90 Days to Better Health
is designed not only to enhance your overall health but it will also
improve your periodontal condition
as you begin to place the body chemistry back into balance. Disease, no matter where it appears, is a body chemistry imbalance. Opportunistic conditions exist for bacteria, viruses, yeasts, parasites and molds to flourish and attack the body until balance is restored.

90 Days to Better Health will provide you with a booklet with an easy, step-by-step, instructional format that helps to evaluate and support several basic health concerns that each and every one of us experience in our daily lives.
Our ultimate goal is to create a healthier "internal environment" for you. We want to develop and maintain a balanced body chemistry that will promote a constructive and hopefully permanent change for all of our participants.
There are 5 specific areas that we'll focus on as we proceed through your own lifestyle assessment. Each one is important and deserves your special attention.
- Nutritional and Dietary Evaluation
- Hydration
- Exercise
- Stress Management
- Sleep Patterns
The significance in making these modifications will produce a healthier "body balance," and ultimately reduce the untimely effects of chronic illnesses and degenerative diseases that may develop later in life.
- 3. Nutritional Supplement Support:

-
In a perfect world, supplements would not be needed to support our body's basic physiologic needs; however, we realize that today's lifestyles and environmental exposures trigger a lack of the necessary nutritional components that are required to properly balance the body for optimal health and wellness.
The following supplements are needed to begin the 1st month of treatment:
-
Bio-Ultra Pac:
8 Basic supplements to balance body chemistry
-
Vitamin C Powder (as Sodium Ascorbate)
: Heals and repairs damaged periodontal tissues. Place 1 tsp. of powder into your water pik bowl (fill the bowl about 1/2 full with water), direct the water stream around the neck of each tooth. This will allow the Vitamin C to penetrate underneath the tissue and provide a healing remedy for your gums. You will soon notice the acute gum inflammation and tissue sensitivity reduce as this therapy is performed on a regular basis. This should be done once /day until the Vitamin C powder is gone.

- 4. pH Paper:

-
The human body is largely made up of water. Water is biologically useful in transporting nutrients and chemicals throughout the body. This water-based transport medium can have either acid or alkaline properties.
The acid-alkaline properties are measured by a graduated scale called pH. The scale values of 1.0 to 6.9 are considered acidic, 7.0 is neutral, and 7.1 to 14.0 are alkaline. The lower the pH value, the greater the acidity. The higher the pH, the greater the alkalinity.
Use the pH paper provided to check your own saliva pH. Simply place a small piece on the tip of your tongue for 2-3 seconds, then check the color of the paper to that on the packet. The best time to take your pH is in the morning before you eat or drink anything.
Check your pH at least once per week as you proceed through the program. Monitor any changes that occur during the next 90 days and see if your pH can be maintained between 7.0 - 7.5.
A saliva pH of 7.0 – 7.5 usually indicates a stable, healthy systemic condition that prevails throughout the body.
A saliva pH below 7.0 usually indicates: Acidemia (abnormal acidity of the blood) will prevail. Chronic academia can be a causative factor for a multitude of diseases affecting the whole body.
A saliva pH above 7.5 usually indicates: Infrequently, the opposite of acidemia (alkalinity) occurs. Excessive alkalinity can bring about the same anaerobic conditions as acidemia, but it is much rarer.
