			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello all you wonderful people out there. Have you ever thought, &#8220;If I <b>had</b> <b>known</b> then what I know now….&#8221; or &#8220;If I <b>had</b> my life to live over again I would change…&#8230;&#8221;?</p>
<p> Actually there is not too much I, personally would have done differently. But there is definitely one <b>health</b> related subject I would like to have <b>known</b> more about and adhered to: early childhood <b>hygiene</b> practices.</p>
<p> I <b>had</b> problems with my teeth from the minute go. I <b>had</b> to have fillings, root canal work, tooth extractions. You name it, I <b>had</b> it. Even eating all those taffy apples and other candy (especially at Halloween) would have been alright if only I <b>had</b> <b>known</b> about and practiced proper (and I mean proper) gum and <b>health</b> hygiene. Call it hindsight.</p>
<p> Ironically, at this stage in my life I frantically take care of the few teeth I can still call my own. I brush my teeth (and gums) as soon as I get up in the morning and after every meal. I use mouthwash regularly. I go for biannual <b>dental</b> checkups. I make it a point to get to a dentist as soon as I suspect the slightest <b>dental</b> problem. </p>
<p> In our day and age anything can happen. My next statement may sound a little bizarre - like something out of science fiction - but so did reaching the moon fifty years ago. I visualize people in this lifetime cutting a third set of teeth. Wouldn&#8217;t that be something! So let&#8217;s not waste time. Let&#8217;s brush up on gum and mouth <b>hygiene</b> practices. Let&#8217;s promote <b>dental</b> <b>hygiene</b> whether through annual <b>dental</b> <b>hygiene</b> week for kids or <b>dental</b> <b>hygiene</b> shirts or whatever. </p>
<p> And don&#8217;t forget folks– keep smiling!</p>

<p>          Even though Price felt confident his research and interpretations were sound and factual, he encouraged future investigators to further test his findings. <P>To Dr. Price, the uncovering of truth was the most important objective of his research. He hoped the future would shed more light on his studies - and take them further. That his deductions would be ultimately proved or disproved was of little concern. What was of concern was that truth be found. <P>It was determined the toxins produced by the bacteria, not the bacteria themselves, killed the rabbits, and it was supposed the toxic substances in the tooth would gradually diminish with each implantation. The actual amount of poison in a single tooth isn&#8217;t very great, so it was expected to be completely gone after 20 rabbits had been used. It was also assumed that with each succeeding rabbit, the rabbit&#8217;s life span would become longer than the first rabbit&#8217;s as the poins dissipated. Instead, they all died within six days, except for one that lived 1o days. <P>This particular rabbit was a very large and vigorous male and an ugly fighter that tried to kill others in the cage. Within six hours of the tooth implantation, it lost all of its pugnacity and viciousness. In a couple of days, blood changes such as the reduction of ionic calcium appeared and the rabbit began to lose weight. <P>Calcium values of the animals that developed capsulations about the embedded teeth tended to stay the same, while in others the calcium progressively became less and less, and in some it dropped to zero. Whenever a rabbit failed to build an encapsulating membrance, it would die quickly. In other words, the encapsulation provided some degree of temporary immunity. <P>It may prove difficult for the average person to comprehend the concept that these deaths are not being caused by bacteria but by the poisons or toxins, they produce. To demonstrate these infirmities can be due to toxins, Price crushed the roots of root filled teeth, washed them, and passed the washings through a Berkefeld filter, a method which removes all bacteria. <P>Culturing the remaining solution to see if any bacteria had been retained proved none had. Nevertheless, the remaining liquid, when it was inoculated into rabbits, would start their decline. In addition, there occurred a depression of their normal ionic calcium level and a progressive loss of weight. Death usually resulted in a few weeks. These facts suggested the encapsulating sack is not a typical neoplasm (tumor), but is a protective membrane developed by nature to protect the animal carrying it. <P>What occurs appears to be defense mechanism to save the rabbit, but in these cases it can do so only temporarily because of the virulence of the toxins continually being produced by the bacteria in the dentin tubules. <P>In the experiments Price did with rabbits, the most surprising results occurred when he removed an infected tooth which had been embedded in a rabbit that had died, and then placed it in boiling water for one hour. When the tooth cooled off<a target="_blank" href="http://www.articlesfactory.com"><img src="http://www.articlesfactory.com/pic/x.gif" alt="Free Reprint Articles" border="0"></a>, it was re-embedded in another rabbit. An encapsulation took place and in about two weeks blood changes started to occur which resulted in that rabbit&#8217;s dying in a period of 22 days.</P>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>A statement I made earlier in this book, Root Canal Cover-Up exposed! Many Illnesses Result, is most likely causing some of my dental colleagues to bitterly resent the charge that our profession has unknowingly been responsible for the deaths of many of our patients.</b></p>
<p>          A statement I made earlier in this book, Root Canal Cover-Up exposed! Many Illnesses Result, is most likely causing some of my dental colleagues to bitterly resent the charge that our profession has unknowingly been responsible for the deaths of many of our patients. <P>How could I make such a statement when not a single one of all my dentist friends and acquaintances has knowingly lost a patient? Ours has generally been considered a safe profession to practice, certainly not one which involves fatality. <P>For dentist, physicians or patients who think I am merely being a sensationalist, this chapter, which reviews the book Death and Dentistry by Martin H. Fischer, M.D., may help put this whole subject in its true perspective. <P>Dr. Fischer&#8217;s book states the microorganisms from teeth and tonsils metastasize to other organs and tissues, similar to the phenomenon which occurs in cancer and results in similar disagreeable circumstances. <P>Dr. Fischer, a professor of physiology, reminds us the heart disease problems of endocarditis, pericarditis and myocarditis were found to be caused by streptococci and diplococci bacteria, and that these bacteria are also found in chronic appendicitis and bleeding ulcer cases, plus gall bladder and liver diseases. We all know of people who die of these afflictions despite antibiotics. A good many of them have immune systems which have been overtaxed for long periods of time by hidden focal infections and their toxins. Such people more readily develop pneumonia or some other affliction which eventually causes their deaths. <P>Dr. Fischer reported how Dr. E.C. Rosenow (not Milton Rosenau, a Price Research Institute advisor) isolated streptococcus bacteria from a human infected appendix and injected these bacteria into animals, 80 percent of which developed appendicitis. The same Dr. Rosenow reported in the AMA Journal how he had produced stomach and duodental ulcers in 18 rabbits, six dogs and monkey by inoculating these animals with bacteria from the tonsils and the tissues of patients with rheumatism. <P>Dr. Rosenow stated most doctors think ulcers in the stomach are due to the patient&#8217;s swallowing bacteria from infected tonsils or teeth, but the contents their mode of spread is through the bloodstream. <P>Dr. Fischer&#8217;s book is full of studies similar to those I have mentioned in this chapter which confirm Price&#8217;s discoveries. <P>Like the investigators of this subject named in Dr. Fischer&#8217;s book, other outstanding leaders in this field of research are: Frank Billings, Milton Rosenow, Ludvig Hektoen, D.J. Davis, Edwin Lecount, Leila Jackson, Ernest E. Irons, Rollin T. Woodyatt, George and Gladys Dick, N.W. Jones, Russell Haden, Herman C. Burnpus, Jr., Henry A. Cotton, Bernard Langdon Wyatt, And Weston Price. <P>Each person listed above significantly contributed to the setting up of a new paradigm, a new basic principle in clinical bacteriology and pathology. <P>All of the claims that degenerative diseases are the result of poor inheritance; too much or too little protein, vitamins or minerals; too much beer, wine or whiskey; and the overuse of sugar, sweets and caffeine products, while partially the case, must not deter serious consideration of those 24 million root canal treatments performed last year<a target="_blank" href=""><img src="http://www.articlesfactory.com/pic/x.gif" alt="" border="0"></a>, not to mention the billion or so which exist in mouths of people throughout America and the rest of the world.</P>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This April the Government is forcing a new service contract on dentists that includes a new pay scale, changes to their working hours and surgery arrangements. Now dentists are not a cantankerous profession, but there&#8217;s widespread irritation and disillusionment amongst them at the Governments seemingly heavy-handed action. And they&#8217;re determined not to be pushed around. </p>
<p>As a result thousands of dentists are registering their refusal to accept the new contract and have given their notice to quit the NHS at the end of March. </p>
<p>This will create mayhem for clients. Many seeking treatment on the NHS will be simply turned away. Those dentists who do accept the new NHS contract will then face a flood of new clients seeking treatment. The vast majority will again be turned away as even before this bust up, there was a dire shortage of dentists. Waiting lists are bound to be a mile long. No, sorry, two miles long! </p>
<p>As a result, if you are desperate for treatment to a broken tooth or an abscess, you&#8217;ll be forced to search out a community based dental surgery operated by the NHS itself. Ask your Doctor for directions to the closest to you. The odds are they&#8217;ll be miles away. This means a long journey plus a hospital style queue on arrival. Getting dental treatment will simply take all day! </p>
<p>For many, private dentistry is the only alternative. Going private means you&#8217;ll get an appointment when you want one rather than waiting for ages with the NHS, and you can pick and choose your dentist. But it can be expensive. The only good news is that there are solutions to keep costs under control. </p>
<p>You essentially have three key options: dental insurance, capitalisation schemes or cash plans. </p>
<p>Dental Insurance The insurance industry has responded with a whole host of varying dental insurance policies. The following are just some typical examples: </p>
<p>Western Provident has been in the dental insurance market for many years. Its Providential policy provides a basic level of dentistry cover with fixed monthly premiums. For those aged 18 to 49 the premium is £12.48 and £15.90 per month for those between 50 and 69. Policyholders have to pay the first 25% of each treatment but can claim up to £250 per year towards routine treatment including check-ups, visits to the hygienist and fillings. Emergency dental treatment can be claimed up to £1,000 per year but cover for accidental dental injury is limited to £250 per treatment. </p>
<p>£6 per month gets you basic dental insurance with Universal Provident. Their policy insures you for up to £1,000 per year for routine work but it won&#8217;t pay for check-ups. Accidental damage up to £1,000 per year and dental emergencies are insured up to £5,000 per year. </p>
<p>Many policies also limit the number of dental treatments they&#8217;ll pay each year. For example, the policy from Boot&#8217;s limits your claims to two check-ups, one crown and four fillings a year up to £500. Boot&#8217;s policies start at £9 per month. </p>
<p>Capitalisation Schemes This is the most expensive option. Prior to taking up the policy, your dentist has to make an assessment of your dental health and places you in one of five treatment groups. This will determine how much your scheme costs. The better your dental condition, the less you pay. </p>
<p>For example, Denplan&#8217;s dental care scheme costs between £9 and £30 per month. We are told that their average fee is £16. </p>
<p>Cash Plans The last alternative is a composite health cash plan. These pay out for dentistry but also a wide range of other health treatments such as optical treatment, hospital treatment, physiotherapy, chiropody even allergy testing. Each policy spells out exactly what is covered and the maximum value you can claim to for each kind of health treatment. You have plenty of choice as most cash plans offer three or four grades of benefit level. The more you pay, the more you can claim. Some plans allow you to reclaim 100% of the cost up to the annual maximum set for each health category, some will only pay a proportion of the cost. With cash plans, the maximum cover for dentistry tends to be in the range of £70 to £200 per year depending on the company you choose and the option you go for. </p>
<p>For examples of cash plans, visit <a target="_blank" href="http://www.securehealth.co.uk">www.securehealth.co.uk</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hsa.co.uk">www.hsa.co.uk</a>. Click on “cash plans” when you get there. </p>
<p>How to get top value in Dental cover As with most types of insurance, you&#8217;ll get it cheapest on the Internet. Search for “dental insurance” but use the .co.uk variant of your search engine – otherwise you&#8217;ll come up with masses of American sites! </p>
<p>The best UK sites to visit are those that either enable you to compare plans or those operated by a specialist dental insurance broker. With brokers, you submit your details and they&#8217;ll come back to you with the options and best dental policies available for you. </p>
<p>If you do want to go direct to an insurance company, you can still do it on the Internet - but it&#8217;s unlikely that you&#8217;ll stumble on exactly the best policy for you amongst the many hundreds available. And the broker may well be cheaper. It will come as no surprise that we recommend the broker route!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello all you wonderful people out there. Have you ever thought, &#8220;If I <b>had</b> <b>known</b> then what I know now….&#8221; or &#8220;If I <b>had</b> my life to live over again I would change…&#8230;&#8221;?</p>
<p> Actually there is not too much I, personally would have done differently. But there is definitely one <b>health</b> related subject I would like to have <b>known</b> more about and adhered to: early childhood <b>hygiene</b> practices.</p>
<p> I <b>had</b> problems with my teeth from the minute go. I <b>had</b> to have fillings, root canal work, tooth extractions. You name it, I <b>had</b> it. Even eating all those taffy apples and other candy (especially at Halloween) would have been alright if only I <b>had</b> <b>known</b> about and practiced proper (and I mean proper) gum and <b>health</b> hygiene. Call it hindsight.</p>
<p> Ironically, at this stage in my life I frantically take care of the few teeth I can still call my own. I brush my teeth (and gums) as soon as I get up in the morning and after every meal. I use mouthwash regularly. I go for biannual <b>dental</b> checkups. I make it a point to get to a dentist as soon as I suspect the slightest <b>dental</b> problem. </p>
<p> In our day and age anything can happen. My next statement may sound a little bizarre - like something out of science fiction - but so did reaching the moon fifty years ago. I visualize people in this lifetime cutting a third set of teeth. Wouldn&#8217;t that be something! So let&#8217;s not waste time. Let&#8217;s brush up on gum and mouth <b>hygiene</b> practices. Let&#8217;s promote <b>dental</b> <b>hygiene</b> whether through annual <b>dental</b> <b>hygiene</b> week for kids or <b>dental</b> <b>hygiene</b> shirts or whatever. </p>
<p> And don&#8217;t forget folks– keep smiling!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dental implants are created by putting a titanium implant into the jaw and connecting a ceramic crown once the jaw has fused the implant. Once this occurs, the dental implant is secured in place. </p>
<p>A wide variety of techniques can be utilized depending on the state of the implant site. One quick method can be completed in one single day, and can be done if the tooth is replaced in a healthy gum over good bone. Grafting or growing new bone is considered very complex and can take up to half a year or longer to do. </p>
<p>If a tooth needs to be extracted because it is decayed or damaged, as long as the surrounding gum is not damaged, the dental implant may be installed the same time as when the broken tooth is removed. This procedure will typically include a temporary crown and later replaced with a permanent crown once the bone fusion is complete. While heeling, it may be best to avoid certain foods after the dental implant has been installed. </p>
<p>Common dental implants occur through a process of stages. An implant is installed to the jaw bone and will need to fuse for roughly 3-6 months. Once this stage is complete, a post, known as an abutment, is put in the implant. Then the casts are removed off of the teeth and a crown made to match the existing tooth is adhered to the abutment. </p>
<p>When the bone structure is weak, one of the most complicated dental implant procedures can take place. In some cases a bone graft might be needed, or the bone can be stimulated to grow. The bone must be allowed to heal before the dental implant is installed. This can make the process very lengthy. </p>
<p>A custom fit plate can be placed between the jaw and gum if the bone structure is not in good condition for a dental implant. In order to obtain accurate measurements a CAT scan may be utilized or a cast cane be made by exposing the jaw. </p>
<p>Visit with your dentist to discuss which dental implant procedure is right for you. Your dentist could possibly perform the surgery at their office, or in more extreme cases, you may be referred to a periodontist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once upon a Lion walked these grounds&#8230;  <BR><BR>Now in ancient alchemy symbols the Lion was thought to be the soul that was purified. A state we can all attain which now thanks to Maslow we call self actualization. Gold was the goal after slowly apply heat to the lead of our soul. The color of the sun that gave light upon the world equally, as so did the son of God.  <BR><BR>But lift that stone, and there you will find me said Christ according to Thomas. But lift that mane and you will see your own face staring back at you. But whose face stands beneath the Tiara of Ice? Why it is yours as well. We all have the potential to be Christ or devil within us, but it is for us to embrace the one we choose. So choose wisely. But what makes us choose one over the other?  <BR><BR>Edmund the one who disavows her sisters story about the fantastical world on the other side of the wardrobe is persuaded to sell out the children of Eve for a few bites of Turkish delight that never reach the spot. Leaving him in the clutches of the White Witch in hopes she comes through with her bargain against his better instincts. For his instincts is that which Aslan or Christ has given each of us, but it is a quiet subtle voice that never roars as loud as our egos. In Jungian psychology the speak about the mother who finds herself inadequate to give her children the comfort they need. She in turn or the child finds out on their own that the chemicals in certain food can provide , although a cheap one at best, substitute. Also following fairy tale tradition this witch is the compartmentalized harmful side of the borderline mother. Also being the feminine, robs the child of its instincts that women find more accessible than men at times. She robs the child of its belief in its feelings and action or voice to receive better. Creating just another lost voice in the dark cave.  <BR><BR>Peter plays the contrast of the hero who empowers himself to empower the others. But seeing that C.S. Lewis was a Christian adept, Peter is such a poor name. But any who, Peter stands for the engaged hero aspect of the ego in its beneficial whole role as the discerns and protector. Lucy plays the impractical nature of being always in the dream state resolving to impetuous behavior. Susan checks her with the slow prodding of the protective mother bear that guards her steps with her children with her nose always in the air. But each balances the other and even finds use for Edmund&#8217;s trickery in the end.  <BR><BR>The animals of the world follow the tribal traditions found throughout the world, especially in the native cultures of North America. Before the despoiled world of man was that of the animals who walked and talked like man does today. Also C.S. lewis could of meant this as a parallel to the Gospel of Niccodemus saying that their was salvation for the pagans that his old friend Tolkien much preferred. But not without saying with right thought, they even worshiped Christ in shape of Aslan.  <BR><BR>As for Aslan&#8217;s sacrifice, for all good things there is a price. In Hindu mythology there is a god each to create, preserve, and destroy that is to be found harmful. When the White Witch asks for Aslan blood to save Edmund, it is a right deal. If one has a cup of poison filled to the brim, would not one have to empty it before they can receive clean water? But in any case the glass is never lost, for when you sacrifice, you only loose what was never yours in the first place. But it might be as endearing as watching maggots eat the dead flesh of your skin leaving only the living tissue clean. To many like Edmund this sacrifice could be that of alcohol, drugs, a wife, or a job that only brought harm after short delight that brings only pain in the end as the delight shrinks as the hope of that thrill grows to tantamount steeps. One is left chasing a dragon that never was. But many give up as the palms of the oasis bear on the horizon.  <BR><BR>The battle is the last five minutes of any sacrifice of the will to health. It is the last five minutes of the Heroine addict going cold turkey for life. The battle is that of self destruction delivered from the borderline mother&#8217;s womb or self esteem from the lion roar in your head that finally speaks out and loud at the oppression of the bow that broke. The slings and arrows are the real blasts one feels in the flesh and the fear of the heart taking the leap of faith to ones self.  <BR><BR>Do you have what it takes&#8230;&#8230;.  <BR><BR>About the author:<BR><BR> Chris Dowgin is propietor of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.docspond.org">Docspond Life Coach services</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.norgeforge.org">Norgeforge Graphic Studios</a> .</p>
