Recently published research has revealed the precise mechanisms key pathogens use to suppress the host's immune system, creating several chronic systemic illnesses. These key oral pathogens have been documented as initiating a new axis of disease. With oral dysbiosis comes eventual gut dysbiosis, leading to a "leaky" gut and a faulty blood-brain barrier. The connection between these key pathogens and metabolic syndrome, premature birth, miscarriages, atherosclerosis, inflammatory Alzheimer's, and cancer has been well-defined.
Discover the armamentarium of prebiotics and probiotics to help you restore eubiosis in your patients. You'll learn how early diagnosis and correction of mouth breathing can benefit the oral microbiome and facial development. Impressive new research into the many benefits of prebiotics, especially xylitol, will be presented. And you'll discover the surprising effect of xylitol in inhibiting cancer cell lines.
