Summary of "Oral Health & Your Body Field | Deb Bruce on Bacteria, AO Scan & Wellness"
Key Wellness Strategies, Self-Care Techniques, and Productivity Tips from the Video
- Importance of Oral Hygiene:
- Brushing and flossing are essential but may not be sufficient alone to eliminate harmful bacteria in the mouth.
- Special attention should be given to brushing the tongue, as it can harbor significant bacterial buildup.
- Bacteria of Concern:
- Bacterioids gingivalis and Bacterioids intermediates are oral bacteria linked to systemic health issues including:
- Periodontitis
- Cardiovascular disease (plaquing in arteries)
- Metabolic syndrome (leading to diabetes and heart disease)
- Alzheimer’s disease (via amyloid plaque formation in the brain)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (impacting gut microbiome and immune balance)
- Rheumatoid arthritis (potentially contributing to autoantibodies)
- Certain cancers (oral, colorectal)
- Adverse pregnancy outcomes
- Bacterioids gingivalis and Bacterioids intermediates are oral bacteria linked to systemic health issues including:
- Health Implications:
- These bacteria can migrate from the mouth to other body parts, exacerbating or contributing to systemic diseases.
- People with implants such as artificial hips or heart valves often require antibiotics before dental work to prevent bacterial migration and inflammation.
- Oral Health and Body Scanning:
- When using body scanners (like AO Scan), check for frequencies indicating Bacterioids gingivalis or intermediates.
- Scan multiple views of the heart, brain, gut, and joints to detect potential bacterial influence.
- Use reports to guide conversations and care plans for improving oral hygiene and systemic health.
- Additional Oral Care Technique – Oil Pulling:
- Oil Pulling is an ancient oral hygiene practice involving swishing oil (preferably Coconut Oil) in the mouth.
- Benefits of Oil Pulling:
- Acts as an oral massage reaching all areas of the mouth.
- Helps wrap and remove bacteria by carrying them in oil vesicles.
- Coconut Oil contains antimicrobial medium-chain fatty acids (lauric acid, capric acid) that disrupt bacterial cell membranes.
- Recommended practice:
- Use about 1 teaspoon of Coconut Oil.
- Swish for 5 minutes (less than the commonly suggested 15 minutes to avoid gag reflex).
- Spit oil into the trash (not the sink) to prevent pipe clogging.
- Repeat 3 times for a total of 15 minutes or daily if bacterial presence is high.
- Overall Message:
- Maintaining oral health is critical not only for the mouth but for overall systemic wellness.
- Combining brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning, and Oil Pulling can help reduce harmful bacteria and improve health outcomes.
- Regular monitoring and addressing oral bacteria can prevent or mitigate chronic diseases linked to these bacteria.
- Additional Tips:
- Educate clients/patients about the connection between oral bacteria and systemic health.
- Encourage consistent, comprehensive oral care routines.
- Use technology (like AO Scan) to identify bacterial frequencies and tailor wellness strategies.
