Gum Disease Treatment - Focal infections related various diseases

Focal Infections Related Various Diseases.
By Dr. Weston A. Price,D.D.S.,

In the ten patients with heart involvement, the members
of their families showed fifty-seven cases of heart disease,
and only twelve cases of diseased tonsils; twenty-four cases
of rheumatism; six of involvement of neck, twenty-five, of
nerves; thirteen, of internal organs, and nineteen, of special
tissues.

In the ten patients suffering from involvement of the nervous
system, all the other members of their families combined showed
142 instances of nervous affections; ten cases of diseased tonsils;
fifteen instances of rheumatism; ten of affections of the neck;
twenty-eight, of internal organs; and nineteen, of special tissues.

In the group of ten patients with involvements of internal
organs, all the other members of their families showed ninety
cases of involvements of internal organs; six cases of diseased
tonsils; thirteen cases of rheumatism; nine of affections of the
heart; ten, of the neck; thirty, of the nerves, and twelve, of
special tissues.

This seems strongly to indicate not only a family characteristic,
but also that it is a factor which relates to individual organs
and tissues quite independently of other types of tissue.

When this problem is approached from another angle, it has
given another type of data, which is also very suggestive.
When we take the number of children affected in the case in which
the patient being studied is the parent of the child, we find
in the selected families in which both partents belong to the
group that there is a marked increase in the prevalence of the
total rheumatic group lesions in the group classed as having an
inherited susceptibility, as compared with each of the two groups,
absent susceptibility and acquired susceptibility.

This is shown in Table 3, in which A represents the patient with
an absent susceptibility, B the patient with acquired susceptibility,
and C, strongly inherited susceptibility. Eight families in which
the patients have absent susceptibility are combined in a group
with an average number of children of 7.3. The average number of
children per family who were affected was 0.63, or 9 percent. of
the total number of children.

In the group of families of patients classed as having acquired
susceptibility, 17 percent of the children were recorded as having
involvements; whereas, in the strongly inherited susceptibility
group the percentage of children affected jumps to 44, or
approximately five times as many as in the group with the sbsent
susceptibility.

When we realize that so many of these d  egenerative diseases
develop beyond the age of 40, and that most of the children being
studied were well under that age, it appears that, if 44 percent
were well under that age, it appears that, if 44 percent were
already affected at the time the record was made (for these were
cases in which the parent involved was still living), a much
higher percentage should be expected to present involvements later
in life.

Dr. Weston A. Price,D.D.S.
Circling the world in the 1920s and 30s, Dr. Price and his wife
found the same sinister pattern among primitive populations, whether
isolated Irish fisherman, tribal African, Pacific islanders, Eskimos,
North and South American indians or Australian Aborigines. These
groups that followed their traditional nature-based diets enjoyed
good health and vigor and those that turned to the civilized diet
of processed, sugar-laden foods soon developed a variety of ills,
including misshapen bones and teeth - and the situation worsened
with each generations.

and medical  history. Authored Nutrition and physical degeneration.
