Gum Disease and Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease; Update on NHSS Acu-Energetics Balance System Manual

by | Oct 3, 2024 | Members Journal Articles, SPE NHSS Members

Hello Everyone: In my last members article I wrote: Recently, I came across a study reported in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease which investigated the link between gum disease and the increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.1 The study’s analysis revealed that older adults with signs of gum disease and mouth infections were more likely to develop Alzheimer’s. Among those 65 years or older, both Alzheimer’s diagnoses and deaths were associated with antibodies against the oral bacterium P. gingivalis, which can cluster with other bacteria such as Campylobacter rectus and Prevotella melaninogenica to further increase those risks. 1.

Arterial Plaque vs. Elevated Blood Cholesteroland Increased Heart Attack Risk; Dangers of Statin Drugs  Part I

This article by Dr. Berkowsky challenges the long-held belief that elevated cholesterol causes heart disease. It refutes the idea of “bad” cholesterol, highlighting its essential roles in producing hormones, vitamin D, and maintaining cell and brain health. High cholesterol may instead be a symptom of other issues, such as liver or thyroid problems.

Also learn about statin drugs, commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol, for their serious side effects. These include depleting CoQ10 (vital for heart and muscle function), causing muscle pain, nerve damage, and potentially increasing cancer risk.

A recent study is cited, suggesting that existing arterial plaque, not cholesterol levels, is the primary predictor of future buildup and heart attack risk.
