Dr. Page found a patient's calcium-phosphorus balance was the key to solving his degenerative disease problem. When balance of these two elements was achieved, illness miraculously disappeared. His work confirms Dr. Price's findings of the importance of calcium. The titles of Dr. Page's three books are contained in this chapter. Harold Hawkins, D.D.S. His research was much like that of Dr. Price's. However, his studies didn't concern blood but rather concentrated on saliva, urine, feces and the acid-base balance. Dr. Hawkins was a dentist with a chemistry laboratory but not a dental chair. Many of his discoveries paralleled those of Dr. Price, but some of his calcium conclusions appear different because Dr. Price investigated ionic calcium values while Dr. Hawkins investigated total calcium. Like Drs. Page and Price, Dr. Hawkins based much of what appears in his outstanding book, Applied Nutrition, on the calcium-phosphorus balance. His case history records involving 10,000 patients showed a remarkable ability to arest dental caries and periodontal disease by nutritional means. Max Winslow, D.D.S. and Samuel H. Millstone, B.S.,D.D.S. from the dental division of the Sinai Hospital in Detroit. These doctors found bacteria from dental care was usually of short duration, but that 20 percent of people with heart problems did develop bacterial endocarditis within several weeks of routine prophlaxis(tooth cleaning). This is, of course, another demonstration of the focal infection theory in action. While Dr. Price was laughed at for his similar pronouncements, these two doctors have been praised. E. Cheraskin, M.D., D.M.D., M.A.; W.M. Ringsdorf, Jr., D.M.D., M.S.These doctors reported in four articles in Journal of Oral Medicine 1968 - 1987 evidence of disturbed carbohydrate metalbolism among endodontic treated patients, confirming Dr. Price's finding of increased amounts of sugar in blood and urine of these patients. |
