22
Q

Imbalance between which 4 primary oral bacteria set up a pathogenic state that leads to
cavities and gum disease?

A

Streptococcus Mutans/Sorbinus and Streptococcus Gordonii/Sanguinis

23
Q

Bacteria in the oral biome are primarily found in what form?

24
Q

. What value is a Healthy oral pH?

25
What substance is produced by non-pathogenic streptococcus to protect them against infectious strains?
H2O2
26
Which conditions are associated with dysfunction in the following:
a. NADPH Oxidase – Granulomas b. SOD – ALS, Neurodegenration c. Myleoperoxidase – Cavities/Periodontal disease d. Phenton reaction – Poor infection control by phagocytosis
27
What is the primary effect of pathogen oral bacteria systemically?
Reduced detoxification
28
What is a major risk of providing a chelator to patient?
a. Release pathogens from biofilms breakdown | b. Activate auto immune process if antibodies exist to metals
29
Pain from SIj fixation, neck extensor inhibition and vastas medialis inhibition can be alleviated by reducing inflammation in what nerve? How can this temporarily be achieved?
a. Deep peroneal nerve | b. Toe separator, walking barefoot
30
What affect does aflatoxin have on glutathione and metallothionein levels?
Depletes them
31
Which mycotoxin is closely associated with consumption of over ripened fruit and is potentially immunosuppressive?
Patulin
32
List 3 ways Borrelia can be transmitted
a. Tick bites b. Sexually c. Animal urine d. Biting insects e. Transplacental
33
Does a Borrelia infection mean the patient has Lymes disease?
No
34
How can glucosamine supplements greatly affect the patient with Borreliosis?
Stimulate growth through feeding
35
Which aspects of immune function are altered by Borrelia infection?
. All. 1,25D changes alter HPA Axis function, direct effect on Th2, 3, 17, 22 aspects, inhibition of VDR
36
Why can a person with Borreliosis suffer with systemic allodynia?
Upregulation of markers in glial cells leading to central sensitization
37
How does Burgdorferri differ from other strains of Borrelia in relation to hemispheric tone?
Drives Th1 response which up-regulates the left hemisphere
38
When clearing an oral biofilm what should be given to a patient?
Liver support, Chelator, Anti-pathogen agent, toe separator if needed
39
How can one differentiate if VDR viruses, Cell wall deficient bacteria or fungi should be treated
Thymus thump, Levator scap or Trapezius weakness
40
Photosensitivity in the left and right eye during borreliosis infection seems to be associated with which co-infection?
a. Left – Campylobacter | b. Right - Rickettsia
