Healthy Mouth, Healthy Body

In his groundbreaking book, Dr. Victor Zeines, a classically trained dentist who embraced holistic treatment thirty years ago, explains how "natural dentistry" can benefit the entire body, and why general physical health starts with a healthy mouth. He covers such important concerns as:
-- How infections in the mouth contribute to serious diseases in the body, including heart disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, diabetes and stroke.
-- How removing mercury amalgam fillings, nickel crowns and root canalled teeth can dramatically reverse so-called "incurable" conditions such as arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic headaches, muscle and joint pain, circulatory problems and nerve disorders.
-- The connection between mouth infections and premature, low weight babies who ultimately have shorter life spans.
-- How a mother's exposure to lead can increase her child's risk of getting cavities.

Authoritative, readable and reassuring, "Healthy Mouth, Healthy Body" offers safe, proven therapies that enhance the body's own healing powers, including:
-- TMJ adjustment to restore proper tooth alignment and relieve headaches
-- Acupressure points to relieve tooth pain
-- Healing herbal mouth and gum rinses you can make yourself
-- Homeopathic remedies to correct dental problems
-- Alternatives to root canal surgery
-- A simple 8-step treatment to knock out gum disease.

Dr. Zeines shows how to save your health by saving your teeth -- and, in the process, possibly add years to your life.
