Hi Andrea, it is very difficult to diagnose any pathology going on in the gum/jaw area of the mouth, as they are often a silent and near invisible condition. A person may show next to nothing on xrays etc, yet have a bad problem, whilst someone else who is ok may show an obvious sign of cavitation yet be ok.

Sometimes it is about yourown symptoms and you begin to realise over time something is not right and not allowing you to progress or detox properly or heal.

You 'can" get a panoramic xray from a dentist to check on cavitations, but they are notoriously inaccurate and easy to miss.

My diagnosis came from having both a panoramic xray, a bone scan called the cavitat scan, plus the comments from a doctor using his EAV machine and telling me I had gangrene in my mouth (dead pulp). But all these things were rather contradictory and I had to sum it up and think obviously yes there is a problem, I don't know where exactly, they did show up yes, but they are hard to find and some might be hardly visible, yet have a bad problem.

Gum disease was discovered by a biologic dentist using a test to look at the bacteria from the gums. He discovered periodontal gum disease.

All these things are enough to severely burden the immune system, on their own or combined and as the immunity is under constant strain from this, it does not deal with other issues (ie mercury/candida etc). So the poor person has to find ways of attempting to control symptoms, which takes sometiems marathon efforts.

Candida diet is an essential start. It's not an option for me. It is the first thing a person should ever do and continue to keep up permanently with any immune challenge. Then once that has been integrated and done for long enough to allow for some improvement, you can move forwards to do more than that. Sometimes using a gum treatment to help control infection can help take some strain off the immune system as well. It is about trying to control the bacteria levels in the body, so the immune system can breathe a bit easier.

Mercury is involved too, but not much can be done to chelate this when the body is under too much strain to address the mercury or even detox it. You can try chelating though, but I wouldn't dare do any chelation unless I was on the strict candida diet first, as you can make yourself worse from the mercury and other toxins simply going straight into the gut or other areas, as you're too overloaded with candida and toxins to eliminate or cope.

Other than this or as well as this, some people opt to go to a biologic dentist, or oral surgeon or periodontist to have their cavitationis surgically cleaned out and hope that might improve symptoms. Even if it's not overly evident, you can try asking to have them open it up and do it regardless, just in case there is anything under there that may be missed.

I'm not having any luck there, as most in my country don't do it and I'm too ill to enter a dental office (due to mercury vapor), so I'm stuck as I am.

I have not many options other than the diet, gum treatment, and possibly at some point using a natural antifungal/antibacterial agent to try and attack some of the infections going on (ie. grapefruit seed extract). Though diet should be the first thing and followed for a long enough time before bringing onboard any antifungal agent, as it can kill too much yeast at onetime, spilling toxins into the blood stream and overloading a person's gut and liver, making them even worse. Diet at least, reduces things gradually and more naturally first.
