In today's cosmopolitan urban population, more than 51 percent of those with root canal-treated teeth probably have infection at the tip of their root. This figure represents millions of possible locations of dental infection. According to Dr. Nordquist's research, any source of bacteria with resulting chronic infection (including periodontal disease) in the mouth may potentially lead to heart disease and other systemic diseases. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Nordquist takes you on the journey of decades of study that has led to one of the biggest medical breakthroughs of the past 50 years. In addition to discovering scientific facts and evidence, you will also find practical tips on how to get help from your dentist and how to properly take care of your mouth. Author Information William Nordquist is committed to excellence and has practiced dentistry in San Diego, California, since 1973. He received his Bachelor of Science in chemistry from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and worked for Eastman Kodak Company as an organic chemist. He received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) and Master of Science from the University of Louisville. His Master of Science thesis and research produced many publications relating to surface chemistry of dental enamel and powdered and blocks of fluoro and hydroxyapatite (HA). He completed a general practice residency at the San Diego Naval Regional Medical Center and achieved the rank of lieutenant commander before leaving the Navy and setting up his private practice of dentistry in San Diego in 1976. He is a fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) and a diplomat in the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI). Dr. Nordquist was named the 2008 International Dentist of the Year by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

 A MUST READ!, July 09, 2014

This is the most EYE OPENING book I have ever read about spirochete and Lyme Disease. I know I got Lyme from eating I feted hamburger and to finally see the life of the spirochete spore in hamburger meat finally gives me some credence! My MD refused TI consider that, and even refused to consider that I had Lyme because "we don't have Lyme disease I our part of Florida"..... I I sister on getting the blood test from CDC and it came back POSITIVE FOR SIX STRANDS! Then the MD office let the test sit without looking at it for TWO MONTHS because they were so certain I couldn't have it!! I eas not the one who got bitten by a tick....it was the cattle in the field that were then ground up into contaminated hamburger bought at my local Publix! ANYWAY, THIS BOOK ISMA MUST READ for anyone I. The field or suffering from Lyme! I am going to get a couple of paper copies to spread the information....there is so much denial Andy ignorance about Lyme and the damage done to millions of people by spirochete s and their spores....! Hopefully this book will open some eyes!

Don't get this book, which reads almost like a rough first draft of his next book, "Silent Saboteurs".
And do make sure you read that next book, as it may save your life, or the life of a loved one.

This book will change (safe) your life...., February 07, 2011
By P. Vladyka (Maui, HI USA)
|

My dentist here on Maui, Stephen Hubert, DDS, gave me this book. I have been under his care for over 2 years and he has changed (saved) my life by removing the mercury from my mouth and eliminating the spirochetosis and greatly improving my moderately diseased, bleeding, and inflamed gums that have plagued me for over 30 years. The proof of this overlooked cure for gum disease is my newly acquired health. I no longer need to go into the regular dentist 2x per year to get a scolding and a scraping with no explanation of what and why, and to hear that the condition always seemed to get worse and I will need surgery. This incredible discovery of the bacteria-cardio health relationship is also astounding and under-reported. There is an important section of the author's research on root canals as well. My dentist scraped a plaque sample and placed it under the microscope and I observed these fast moving killer spirochetes and then after the ozone treatment, they were either all dead, or very slowly moving. I ordered an ozone water treatment machine and will continue to irrigate my gums with ozone treated water. On a sobering note, the author mentions that, "...once inside the body (spirochetes), they become impossible to treat with modern medicine"...yikes!..I guess the only way to address that is through diet/exercise/positive thinking....the movie "Alien" comes to mind. If you have periodontal disease, read the book and get the treatment. I guarantee it will change (save)your life too.

Must read for dentists, internists, infectious disease specialists and cardiologists, February 08, 2009
By Gregory L Sawyer DDS (Los Gatos, California)
|
|
Dr. Nordquist has solved the question of how periodontal disease is linked to coronary artery disease, and related heart attacks. This book should open a fury of investigation into if and how the spirochetes are related every other chronic disease of mankind.
Prevention of periodontal disease and heart disease must now start in childhood. Until we have a way to kill the spores of spirochetes in vivo, the only defense we have is prevention.
This book is a must read for every clinician involved in treatment of chronic diseases, and every patient who wishes to control their own chronic disease risk.
