Scientific substantiation that nutritional deficiences exist has
been proven by some relatively simple studies conducted at
the Dental School at the University of Alabama. S pecial
instrument was used to make a small punch hole in the gum
above the teeth. The healing of this small wound was examined
and observed daily and colored slide pictures were made of the
progress.
When the wound had completely healed the same person was
given a run-of-the-mill multiple vitamins and the procedure
repeated on the other side of the mouth. Lo an behold the healing
took place in a third less time than before when so supplement was
used.
All teeth have very slight movement. This can usually be perceived
by placing one’s fingers over the fron teeth and wiggling them.
A gadget was divised by a dentist to measure this small amount of
tooth movement. In certain oral disease situations and in dietary
deficiencies this movement has proved to be greater than normal.
With this fact in mind another simple scientific test was devised
whereby a random sample of patients coming into a dental school
has the amount of their tooth movement recorded.
They were then given a single vitamin supplement and, will wonders
never cease, within a very short period the amount of tooth movement
was materially lessened. The excessive moveability of teeth present
in so many with pyorrhea and other gum diseases starts with such
almost unperceptible tooth movement.
For these reasons we think most people are helped by adding a
multiple vitamin mineral supplement to their diet. When doing so
it should be considered, not a pill or medicine, but merely part of one’s
food intake. While we must realize that this is a guess as to what is
needed, for the most part such additions to our diets seem to work
reasonably well.
