The new book by the inventor of the Germ Terminator describes one man's mission to inform the public about a serious health threat that most of us have never even thought about-chronic brushing with germ-contaminated toothbrushes. It is undisputed by dentists, physicians, dental hygienists, and micro-biologists that toothbrushes, once used, become dental biohazards.
This book tells an alarming story of the silent, pathogenic germs that grow and breed inside the pointed bristles of our toothbrushes; prickly toothbrush bristles that cause daily microscopic cuts and abrasions to the soft, mucous-membrane tissues of the oral cavity, consequently, injecting germs (and their corresponding endotoxins) directly into our bloodstreams. By brushing with chronically dirty toothbrushes, we risk infecting our mouths with germs that can spread throughout the body- to the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and anywhere else our bloodstreams will take them. Once they arrive at their destinations, they can nest, flourish, and take on lives of their own, causing silent havoc and constant stress to our immune systems.
The counterattack launched by our immune systems produces a quiet inflammatory build-up throughout our bodies. Year after year, decade after decade, this chronic inflammation, the buzzword in medical research today, may promote devastating diseases and health problems including, but not limited to, heart and lung disease, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's, bacterial pneumonia, adverse pregnancy outcomes, cancer, chronic fatigue, and many other chronic degenerative diseases.
Brushing with contaminated toothbrushes turns the practice of oral hygiene on its head and may help explain why 90% of adults suffer from some form of periodontal (gum) disease. Furthermore, it may be destructive to long-term health, and is diametrically opposite to contemporary medical knowledge combined with common sense, which tells us that if something is dirty, it should be cleaned. The author of this eye-opening book not only states his theory, but he offers the solution.
