Dental Plaque – An Overview

Buy EuroHealth NoPlaque™

Research has shown that plaque must be controlled in order to combat gum disease and periodontal disease. Furthermore, by reducing plaque, dental decay can be kept to a minimum.

Couple a lifetime of good plaque control and total oral hygiene and dental decay becomes almost nonexistent. Reduced plaque also has very pronounced positive effect on plaque build-up in the arteries, with beneficial consequences on cardiovascular disease and heart attacks as well as on diseases states and health status in general.

Total Oral Hygiene means good Total Health!

STAGE 1: WHAT IS PLAQUE?

Plaque is a clear, sticky film, an invisible layer of microorganisms growing in colonies, which adheres to the surfaces of teeth, gum tissues, dental restorations, and even the tongue – and then further “into” the body: the arteries, the heart, etc.. It is so adherent, that it can not be washed or rinsed off, but must be mechanically removed.

Plaque contains a variety of bacteria, some also producing strong acids, that can cause dental decay (cavities/caries) by dissolving the minerals that make up the tooth enamel (tiny holes appear that get bigger and bigger until there is a cavity), contribute to calculus (tartar) formation, and initiate the inflammatory response associated with periodontal disease, some producing dangerous and poisonous toxins.

There are different stages of plaque formation: The first stage is the Pellicle Formation, subdivided in turn into four stages:

  1. The surfaces are bathed with salivary fluids
  2. Salivary Glycoproteins (positively and negatively charged) adsorb to the surfaces.
  3. This probably occurs due to ionic interaction.
  4. The Glycoproteins lose their solubility
  5. The Glycoproteins become altered by the action of the bacterial enzymes

The next stage is the Bacterial Colonization. At this stage the bacteria borne in the saliva are brought in contact with the organic dental pellicle, either physically or more often through some type of chemically complicated interaction.

Protein molecules on the bacterial cell surfaces recognize and link to the pellicle glycoproteins – and plaque is formed! The Final stage is the Maturation of Plaque. As plaque matures it increases in mass and thickness. Its microbiological composition also changes. Mature plaque is potentially more pathogenic.

WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF PLAQUE?

Plaque is composed of glycoproteins from the saliva, various bacteria and bacterial metabolism products and minerals and their ions.

PLAQUE FORMS QUICKLY

Plaque forms again soon after it is removed and effective plaque control will keep it to a minimum. It takes approx. 21 days for plaque to completely mature.

That’s why you are encouraged to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth 4-5 times a day, plus daily flossing, to prevent plaque from maturing into calculus/tartar.

IN REGARDS TO PLAQUE NO ONE IS CREATED EQUAL – NOT EVEN THE SAME MOUTH!

The rate plaque forms and what it’s made of, varies from individual to individual. In fact, it varies in different parts of the same mouth.

Studies have shown that plaque affects each of us differently – some are more susceptible to the bacterial components in the plaque than others. That explains why individuals have different healing responses to periodontal treatment.

WHAT’S THE FIRST SIGN OF A PLAQUE ATTACK?

A frequent warning sign is when the edge of the gums next to the teeth, become reddened and inflamed, and bleed when touched. This early stage is known as Gingivitis and takes three weeks to form when all oral hygiene measures are suspended.

Gingivitis is a reversible condition. With diligent flossing and tooth brushing, Gingivitis usually disappears. Left untreated, it can progress into periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease is defined as the formation of pockets (loss of gum attachment to the teeth) and the loss of bone that supports the teeth. Periodontal disease is a chronic disease that can result in tooth loss.

In fact, periodontal disease is the main reason adults have teeth removed, as well as many other serious disease like heart attacks, Cancer and many other (inflammatory) diseases!

Serenoa Fruit – An Overview

Buy EuroHealth ProstaHealth™

It is a plant form the south-east of United States, in particular along costs of the Atlantic Ocean and even in the hinterland. Native Americans use the fruit as food, but even for a big variety of problems connected to the urinary system and to the reproductive apparatus.

European Colonists learn easily to use it. For at least 200 years the dry extract was used to heal different diseases like urogenital problems. Actually, many researches have been executed on the fruit extracts and it has been shown that Serenoa Repens is very rich in fatty acids and in phytosterols.

These researches are the fruit of a meta-analysis published on the Journal of American Medical Association where it has been demonstrated the effectiveness on the treatment of benign pro static hyperplasia symptoms (swelling of the prostate) with placebo and among two of the most common drugs on sale.

Additionally, there are clinical trials that show the effectiveness of Serenoa Repens in the cure of men baldness. A research has demonstrated that the combination between Serenoa Repens and the Urtica roots has shown in elderly people an effective improvement concerning symptoms of urinary tract but without the reduction of prostate dimensions, as it was already shown in February 2006 in a research published by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Further researches prove that the Serenoa Repens effect has a double mechanism, particularly the inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase, which interfering with the dihydrotestosteron connects with androgynous receptors and relaxes the smooth muscle in the same way as antagonist medicines, and a possible action as phytoestrogens.

Practically, the Serenoa provokes the inhibition of DHT connection to its receptor. Other in vitro studies have demonstrated that this plant has some properties even on the reduction of carcinogenic cells of prostate, but clinical trials concerning this discovery are missing.

The Serenoa Fruit is one of the main ingredients of our ProstaHealth™ which promotes healthy prostate functions.

OceanFormula™ for Healthy Joints and Cartilage – The benefits of taking glucosamine

Buy EuroHealth OceanFormula™

Glucosamine chondroitin sulfate complex, also called the “OCEAN FORMULA”, offers the synergistic effect of a number of substances from the sea, all known for their anti-inflammatory properties.

All the active ingredients of this product are of marine origin. Glucosamine sulfate is normally manufactured by the human body. Its function is to stimulate the production of glycosaminoglycans, which are key structural components of cartilage, and to promote the incorporation of sulfur into cartilage.

oceanformula_glucosamine

As some people age, they lose the ability to manufacture sufficient levels of glucosamine and the result is cartilage destruction with pain, deformity and limitation of movement. There are no natural food sources of glucosamine.

Commercially available sources of glucosamine are derived from the exo-skeleton of shrimp, lobster and crabs. Glucosamine comes in three different forms, glucosamine sulphate, glucosamine hydrochloride and N-acetyl-glucosamine.

The glucosamine sulfate is proven in human studies to be the preferred form, both in regards to absorption, distribution and elimination, and in regards to its clinical effect.
Glucosamine sulfate’s beneficial effects have been proven in many clinical studies.

It stimulates the production of substances necessary for proper joint function and is responsible for joint repair. Chondroitin sulfate is found in most animal tissues, especially around the joints.

For supplementation it is usually derived from shark cartilage. It works synergistically with glucosamine to protect cartilage from premature breakdown, and to stimulate the production of glucosaminoglycans and collagen needed for healthy new cartilage.

oceanformula_healthy_joints

Sea cucumber extract is another compound from the sea, that is commonly used in the treatment of arthritis. In Australia it is an approved over-the-counter arthritis remedy, and several clinical studies, conducted in Australia, have shown its effectiveness.

OceanFormula™ is a scientifically advanced combination of anti-inflammatory agents, working together synergistically, and relieving pain, reducing stiffness and repairing damaged cartilage in a natural way.

It is a true nutriceutical with outstanding safety. Results are generally experienced within 3 to 6 weeks of use.

Why DHEA might change your life

Buy EuroHealth DHEA

Dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA, is a natural hormone produced primarily by the adrenal gland. It circulates in the body in its water-soluble form, called DHEA-sulfate or DHEAS. First isolated in 1934, it has, for many years been considered of little importance.

dhea_dehydroepiandrosterone

It is now known to be an essential component in a vast number of physiological functions in the body, including metabolic conversion to both male and female sex hormones (androgens and estrogens), and to have an inverse relationship to the production of stress hormones.

As levels of stress hormones rise, levels of DHEA drop. Blood levels of DHEA start rising before puberty and usually peak between the ages of twenty and thirty. At that time DHEA is the most abundant hormone in the body.

Unlike other adrenal steroids, such as cortisol, DHEA begins to steadily decline with age, suggesting that DHEA may be a measure of the aging process itself.

DHEA levels have been found to be higher in healthy individuals than in unhealthy men and women, which has initiated research linking DHEA to healthy aging.

dhea_health

More than 5000 research papers have appeared over the last three decades, suggesting a connection between DHEA levels and a great variety of diseases.

DHEA is currently the focus for some of the most interesting medical research of this century. DHEA does not seem to be controlled by a “feedback loop”, as with other hormones, and supplementation is not likely to stop the body’s own production.

Convince yourself of DHEA – DeHydroEpiAndrosterone – The Fountain of Youth.

Longer Life Pills® – Feeling better, Living better, Aging better!

BUY eurohealth Longer life pills®

The Longer Life Pills® is an exceptional set of pills that contains the essential nutrients for you to live longer. It is a scientifically conceived pill based on the best and most recent research specifically revised from Dr. Thierry Hertoghe. Only solid studies with significant results in humans, and not in other species, have been taken into account. The aim of Longer Life Pills is to give you a complete formula that will provide all the compounds and ingredients you need daily for a healthy and long life.

longer_life_pills_eurohealth

Ecological: these pills are devoided of any additives, and can in this sense be considered as “ecological”, toxin-free pills. The capsules or tablets that contain the nutrients are in safe, low allergenic material, generally from plant origin.

High-quality: all the nutrients are of pharmaceutical grade from the best sources.

Life-prolonging effects? How long can the persistent intake of these pills prolong life? Long-term efficacy of the multi-nutrient pills on human lifespan is difficult to evaluate as no study has been done of the effect of this particular set of pills on the life span. It is almost impossible to do for any product without a long-term 100-year study that starts in young adults and follows them up during the next 100 years until all participants have died. You and I would not be there anymore to wait for the results.

Nevertheless, what we can do is rely on the various studies that have shown significant 10 to 80% mortality reductions in people (healthy or sick) when they regularly take one of the nutrients present in the Longer Life Pills®. This evidence strongly supports the view that the regular daily intake of the Longer Life Pills® during years is not only safe but may prolong life from one to 18 years, provided the diet and lifestyle are healthy enough and do not oppose the life-prolonging potential of the longer life nutrients.

Melatonin for a better sleep

buy eurohealth Melatonin – BioTonin®

Research reports on Melatonin:

▪︎ SLEEP/INSOMNIA/JET LAG/SHIFT WORK

Dietary supplementation has shown Melatonin to be a natural sleep inducer and a means to reset the internal body clock as needed for the relief of temporary sleep disturbances and jetlag.

Clinical studies have shown Melatonin to have an excellent effect on insomnia, jet-lag and shift work maladaptation, without the side effects of conventional sleeping pills such as “hang-over” and habit-forming use-dependence.

▪︎ IMMUNE DEFENSE SYSTEM

Melatonin buffers the effects of stress and reduces the gradual decline of immunity that accompanies stress. Researchers have demonstrated Melatonin’s ability to treat Cancer, slow progression of AIDS, make the body more resistant to colds, and protect the immune system from the toxic effects of chemotherapy.

melatonin_longevity

Numerous studies reveal that supplemental Melatonin can restore thymus gland function, boost immune function by increasing the production of T-cells, important to our natural defenses, and increase the body’s anti-tumor activity, particularly in advanced Cancer patients.

Melatonin also shows promise as a treatment for a number of other diseases and conditions, including Hypertension, high Cholesterol, various kinds of Cancer, Autism, Epilepsy, Migraine, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and Alzheimer’s disease.

▪︎ LONGEVITY/AGING/QUALITY OF LIFE

Melatonin has strong anti-aging properties. According to the experts, Melatonin has many vital functions in our body, therefore prolonging our life span. It is considered to be “The Policeman of all Policemen”, regulating the secretion of other important bodily hormones, governing the body at large and of course also the important aging process.

Many people take supplemental Melatonin every day for this purpose rather than for insomnia/sleep deprivation conditions. In such cases a dosage of 0.2 – 1 mg is normally enough.

melatonin_antioxidant

▪︎ ANTIOXIDANT/FREE RADICAL SCAVANGER

Melatonin has been shown to be an extremely potent and wide-ranging antioxidant, protecting every part of the cell in the body, including vital brain cells. Antioxidants are vital to our health because they rid the body of dangerously reactive molecules called free radicals.

Over 100 diseases have now been linked with free radical damage, including Cataracts, Macular Degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, Arthritis, Cancer and the Aging Process itself.

▪︎ SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (“SAD”)

Melatonin has been shown to be effective in persons with SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is caused by the breakdown of the circadian/body-clock rhythm.

The Shark Oil Story

buy EuroHealth Alkyrol®

Shark liver oil has been used for centuries in the Scandinavian countries, particularly by fishermen, who used it as a remedy for slow healing wounds and against irritation of the respiratory organs.

alkyrol_greenland shark_alkylglycerols

In the 19th century the use of shark liver oil almost died out, surviving only in a few fishing communities. It was to take more than a century before the use of the shark liver oil was revived, following the publications of scientific documentation regarding its beneficial effects.

In 1952, a young Swedish doctor, Astrid Brohult, M.D., discovered that the marrow from fresh calf bones given to children with leukemia stimulated their white cell production.

It was later shown that the stimulating factor was a group of substances known as Alkylglycerols, that had first been identified by two Japanese researchers in 1922 – in liver oil from sharks. The distribution of Alkylglycerols in nature has since been found to be widespread.

They occur in the lipids of various animal organs, for example in bone marrow fat, in the fat of the spleen and the liver, in erythrocytes and in milk (ten times more in human mother’s milk than in cow’s milk).

alkyrol_fishermen_alkylglycerols

The highest source of Alkylglycerols was found to be in the liver of the Greenland shark, Somniosus microcephalus. The healing effects of Alkylglycerols on the tissues of the body have been confirmed over the last 40 years by extensive clinical and laboratory research, mainly conducted by Swedish physicians and scientists.

Besides the above-mentioned biological effects of the Alkylglycerols, it has been shown that patients with cancer of the uterine cervix, who were treated with Alkylglycerols before and during irradiation treatment, had 9% higher survival rate after five years, as compared to the control group.
