That's interesting...

From the post:

>If a looming root canal treatment is putting a dampener on the week, take heart: having the procedure can drive health benefits that are felt throughout the body, according to research. Patients who were successfully treated for root canal infections saw their blood sugar levels fall significantly over two years, suggesting that ridding the body of the problematic bacteria could help protect against type 2 diabetes. Dentists also saw improvements in patients’ blood cholesterol and fatty acid levels, both of which are associated with heart health. Yet more benefits were seen around inflammation, a driver for cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions.

Root canal treatment is one of the most common – and perhaps most feared – dental procedures

The drill does not scare me. The BILL does.

I've always been fascinated by the power of the dentistry and optometry/opthamology lobbies because neither service, more often needed than other types of healthcare are not umbrella covered by most insurances and have had historically high to unaffordable costs.

A gal I know needs eye drops made from her own human serum because she has a rare autoimmune eye disorder. These drops are quickly made by some company but they are $800 per month and not covered by any insurance

How many people can afford that? not my friend.

If you need something, you find a way or you succumb. That is how life works.

Yay, your blood sugar is good but a lifetime of subclinical Inflammatory infection dripping into your bloodstream will be even better!
