"Healing gum disease is not about healing your gums, it is about healing your body. Through a series of infinitely complex circumstances and biochemical interactions your body is now failing to create healthy gum tissue and healthy bone to support your teeth. Failing to see gum disease as a problem of biochemistry, nutrition and endocrine (glandular) function is why conventional dentistry has failed to cure gum disease. The decision you face has not appeared by accident, bad luck, or coincidence of fate. It is the result of decades of decisions perhaps unconscious or semi-conscious one that have resulted in cells starved of nutrition. Your body is breaking down an taking the path towards death. It will be your choice to align to live, and to heal or to not fight, give in and allow yourself to be operated on in the last ditch effort to delay the inevitable (unless you change) loss of your teeth." --Cover.
