I cannot begin to tell you how sad it makes me to see all those folks who suffer from drug abuse addictions. I sincerely hope that this site will help inspire people to quit their substance addictions or be of supportive of someone they love to quit – without giving up or abandoning them.

Addiction can happen to people from all walks of life, even those who have worked to help others with addictions! Just read some of the stories on this site to understand how true this is.

Abuse addictions are costly in terms of money, time, physical damage to the brain and body – not to mention the emotional havoc wreaked upon both those with an addiction as well as their loved ones.

There is a gentleman in his early twenties who apparently used too much of a particular substance. He now talks to himself, and often believes he is talking on a telephone when in fact he is not. People around me tell me that he was very smart before, excelling in his field of study. Poor kid, I feel sorry for him every time I see him talking to himself. He also walks around avoiding contact with others as he lives in his own little world most of the time. Some say he is getting better. I sure hope he does.

I was listening to the radio the other day and there was a study about carbohydrate addiction. Apparently, food addictions can work in a very similar way to drug and alcohol addictions. They elevate dopamine levels. The resulting ‘down’ after the ‘high’ causes the user to seek the addictive substance again. A high carb and fat addiction is one thing, but in the case of heroin this cycle can happen multiple times per day – quickly destroying the physical resources of the addict.

Another person I know told me the horrifying story of his cocaine addiction. I can not begin to tell you how traumatic his story is. He finally beat that addiction, but went through hell to do so!

As part of my work, I get to talk to a lot of people about dental health and from listening to their stories of pain, suffering, solutions and treatments that do not provide long-term relief is something I find very frustrating! I think that by now, in our modern age, better answers should be provided to us from ‘professionals’ and ’scientists’.

Unfortunately, I am convinced that we have been sold a ‘bill of goods’ in the notion that brushing and flossing are all that you need to maintain your dental health and prevent problems.

My proof that is not true is self-evident. People still get cavities, their teeth still crack or break and they still get gum disease. In relation to the last term, the stats say it all! Most dental professionals agree that up to 75% of people have some form of gum disease right now.

Therefore, you tell me, is it sensible to believe that merely brushing and flossing is enough for the majority of people to maintain their dental health? The reality of today’s state of dental health is very frustrating because the lack of knowledge about what dental disease is and what you can do about it is insidious.

In addition, I challenge you to ponder these simple questions. Dentistry has been with us for a very long time, yet why do so many people still need cavities filled, root canals, crowns, gum grafts, and other ’special treatments’? Do you think that no one has ever come upon good answers to prevent these problems in all the years that ‘modern’ dentistry has been around?

I certainly do not claim to have all of the answers, but I do think that I might have some of them. I was able to avoid one of those popular ‘deep cleaning’ treatments. Even if you have not heard that term from your dentist before or the terms, ‘SRP’ or ‘Scaling and Root Planing’, the chances are pretty good that someone you personally know has!

For an oral irrigator, I  believe that the hydrofloss is the best.

I would further challenge anyone reading this article to dig deeper and discover the knowledge, understandings, tools and products that can truly help promote better dental health and save you and your loved ones from unnecessary expense, pain and prevent the need for harsh treatments!
