reversed symptoms

It is important to note, however, that not every patient treated experienced dramatic changes or symptom reversals, and some experienced no changes at all. This is because there are other significant factors that influence a patient's overall health, and oral immunity and oral health is just one part of the "health puzzle." However, there has been enough documented evidence, and positive results, that Dr. Hansen is encouraged to present his findings and promote his philosophy of every organ and system in the body being connected to each other, especially the mouth/oral area.

It is also important to note that Dr. Hansen has never claimed to "cure" anybody of any disease. Diseases are generally defined by symptoms or combination of symptoms, and when these symptoms are presented to the health practitioner, he or she diagnoses a certain disease or disorder. If symptoms of disease are present because of toxic issues, pathogens, or a biological imbalance somewhere in the mouth, and then those toxins or pathogens are removed, or balance is restored through healthy dental treatments, the symptoms may disappear. The body has an amazing ability to heal itself under the right conditions. As long as the toxins, pathogens or imbalances are held at bay, prevented from returning, then the symptoms which were reversed may not ever return.

With the emerging science of the mouth/whole-body health connection, it should be a matter of course that the dentist should work with the patient's other health practitioners to coordinate treatments and maximize their potential to restore the patient to health. This concept is difficult for many dental and health practitioners to grasp, because they still think of dentistry and medical practice as two separate and unrelated professions. However, as was stated on our homepage, "No man (no one person) is an island," and no organ or system in the body is an island. Dental and health practitioners need to learn to work together, and this is an idea that is finally, although slowly, beginning to gain acceptance. If you are looking for "healthy dentistry" dentist, make sure that he or she is willing to work with your other health practitioners when necessary, to maximize your health outcome.

Keeping in mind what was stated in the preceding paragraphs, some of the symptoms Dr. Hansen has seen eliminated or reversed after health-centered dental treatments include symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Heart Disease, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Diabetes, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. This makes sense, as mercury toxicity issues have been blamed for many of those symptomatic disorders, and removing old mercury amalgam fillings and replacing them with biocompatible materials just may have been responsible for much of these reversals.

Each patient is different, of course, and has his or her own unique set of health problems, both inherited and environmental. For that reason, individual results may vary and no guarantees can be made. But, Dr. Hansen has the evidence and documentation that health-centered dentistry can, under the right conditions, make a big difference in a patient's life.
