Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Dr. Weston Price is considered the granddaddy of holistic dentistry. His research in the early 1900's established the link between oral infections and disease, and between nutrition and healthy teeth. He determined that specific bacteria found in teeth with root canals have an affinity for specific organs or tissues within the body, and these same bacteria were responsible for many degenerative diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pulmonary infections and cancer.
