Podcasts about chronic infection

This episode is brought to you by Thesis, Cozy Earth, and Lumebox.   We don't always consider that chronic disease and overall health can start with oral health, but biological dentists know that optimal health and gut health begins in the mouth. Root canals are a controversial topic because, while they are often necessary, they can become a source of bacterial buildup, potentially leading to chronic infection. Today's guest is here to share his expertise as a biological dentist and guide anyone who has undergone or will undergo dental procedures, including root canals, toward optimal long-term health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with biological dentist Dr. Dominik Nischwitz to discuss the link between root canals, chronic inflammation, and chronic disease. Dr. Dome explains how and why root canals and tooth extractions can create spaces for bacteria to accumulate and highlight uncommon symptoms that may indicate an infection. He also distinguishes between biological and traditional dentists, shedding light on the knowledge gap hindering a holistic approach. Additionally, Dr. Dome and Dhru discuss why gut health begins in the mouth and offer steps to prevent bacterial buildup during dental procedures. Dr. Dominik Nischwitz is the world's leading biological dentist and one of the first ceramic implant specialists. He is the vice president of the International Society for Metal-Free Implantology. Dr. Dome is an international speaker and author with the goal of establishing bio dentistry 3.0 as the new standard for health optimization protocols for all health practitioners and dentists alike using the term "optimal health starts in your mouth." Dr. Dome trains traditional dentists in proper biological dentistry practices and believes optimal health starts in the mouth. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Dome dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The Issue with Root Canals (00:00:35 / 00:00:35) Symptoms Associated with Incorrectly Done Root Canals (3:27 / 3:27)  The Controversy: Traditional vs. Biological Dentistry (5:38 / 5:38) Why Root Canals Are Recommended (20:46 / 15:13) What to Do if a Root Canal Is Recommended (25:18 / 19:45) Gut Health Starts in the Mouth (31:53 / 26:20) Autoimmune Conditions and Chronic Infection (41:19 / 35:46) Cavitation (47:30 / 41:30) Correctly Done Root Canals (1:09:00 / 1:04:00) Dr. Dome's Personal Journey (1:19:18 / 1:14:00) Also mentioned in this episode: Directory of Biological Dentists Trained by Dr. Dom  To learn more about Dr. Dome, follow him on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or his website.  This episode is brought to you by Thesis, Cozy Earth, and Lumebox.  Right now, Thesis is offering my community $60 off your first subscription.

If you suffer from chronic urinary tract infections, also known as UTIs, or interstitial cystitis, you know how difficult it can be to deal with the symptoms of bladder pain and discomfort. While diets, supplements, and medications are often used, few are aware of the important connection between biofilms and interstitial cystitis. Today we are talking with Ruth Kriz all about biofilms and why you should know about them. Ruth Kriz is a nurse practitioner who specializes in treating chronic UTI and interstitial cystitis patients. Her interest in biofilms, genetics, and mycotoxins developed through her discovery of an association between those factors and chronic UTIs and interstitial cystitis. Please enjoy our conversation that explores the world of biofilms, how they impact our health, and what you can do about biofilms that might be impacting your interstitial cystitis and UTIs. Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 3:10 - How Ruth got interested in biofilms and chronic infections 8:29 - What are biofilms? 13:12 - Biofilms and Alzheimer's 17:47 - Biofilms, antibiotics and Interstitial Cystitis 24:24 - Treatments of IC and UTIs 39:00 - Biofilms and COVID 45:21 - How bacteria and biofilms interact 46:15 - Cardiovascular disease and biofilms 48:43 - Supplements Ruth would bring to a desert island

Today we will cover listener questions, including… What should I do if I think my supplements for hormone balance are causing depression? Is there a connection between vertigo and SIBO? If I see giardia on a patient's GI MAP test, is it worth targeting and treating separate from other gut issues? Where in your hierarchy would you test for chronic infections and viruses like Lyme, herpes virus, and Epstein Barr? Should urine mycotoxin tests be provoked or unprovoked? I'm hearing mixed messages in the field. Is there a risk to staying on a low FODMAP diet for longer than 3-6 months?  Is it ok to eat nutritional yeast? How should I protect my gut before, during, and after taking an antibiotic? https://drruscio.com/pcos-vertigo-giardia-testing-for-chronic-infections/ My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook/ If you're in need of clinical  support, please visit https://austinfm.com/  Looking for more?

Biofilms are suggested by the research to be involved in up to 80% of infections. The common presentation of a biofilm-based infection is one that responds to the same antibiotic everytime, but always comes back. What is a biofilm? Why aren't antibiotics effective? Where do biofilms occur? Are they involved in "die off" reactions (aka Herxheimer Reactions)? Could biofilms be involved in SARS-CoV-2 virulence and COVID-19 infections? See my video on biofilms at: Biofilms cause chronic sinus, UTI, respiratory, and gut infections (t.ly/oMFq)

Early childhood dental caries (ECC) are the most chronic infection now among children between ages two and five. The culprit is sugar. ECC’s are about much more than just baby teeth. “Caries” is another term for cavities, and they can be prevented if you know what to do. The teeth effect the health of every system in the body. Infectious diseases from this are preventable. How do early childhood dental caries affect children? Children with autism very commonly have problems with their teeth due to poor absorption of nutrition from an ill gut, inflammation, toxicity, and internal infections including Lyme, mold biotoxins, PANS/strep and staph(MARCoNS). Their body is in a state of chronic stress. This in turn elevates the stress hormone called cortisol. There is a chronic inflammatory response from body infections or from untreated dental caries. Get your free mold and Lyme resource guide here. The behavioral impact on neural development continues on into adulthood if ECC’s are not properly treated. It’s now proven that adults with dental disease correlate to coronary heart disease. Microbes from periodontal disease are linked to inflammation in the brain and due to the brain’s response to the inflammation it creates various types of neural disruption and has been associated with Alzheimer’s. What makes us susceptible and what can we do to prevent ECC’s? If a parent has a history of bad teeth then the child is more susceptible. The gut also has an impact on the overall immune system and chronic infections. Staph infection in the nasal passageways, and other sinus infections drip bacteria into the moth causing decay so keeping the sinus’ clear and healthy is important. A xylitol spray can be even more helpful that a saline nasal spray. Early childhood prevention of dental carries begins at birth. The first dental visit should be at six months of age, and no later than age one. Be sure to see a pediatric dental specialist. There’s no need to wait until your child’s first tooth erupts to begin oral hygiene. Any remaining food, including breastmilk, left in the mouth can begin bacterial overgrowth. Wipe your child’s gums clean after each feeding of any kind. Never give a bottle to them at bedtime or to go to bed with. Know that milk and juices contain high amounts of sugar and can cause decay. It’s also important to supplement with adequate amounts of vitamin D3 for strong teeth and bones. What symptoms do I look for? A child with untreated ECC learns to think that tooth pain is normal. It may be why your child is a picky eater, or seems to be. Click Here for more details.

Mutations with VDR (Polymorphism) – alteration in the vitamin D receptors in certain populations. 6. Fatty liver 7. Don't go outside enough 8. Chronic Infection lowers vitamin D 9. Stress lowers vitamin D Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency • Depression • Autoimmune • Insomnia • Adrenal Fatigue • Skin Disorders • Chronic Inflammation Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
