I haven't posted here for probably at least a year but wanted to share
with those here some thoughts of mine.  Many of you are probably aware
of the research that has shown the link between increased incidence of
heart disease resulting from gum disease.  It has been shown that
bacteria in the mouth will travel throughout out body.  Given this,
doesn't it sound reasonable that gum disease (gingivitus, etc.) might
provide a constant source of bacteria leading directly to our urinary
tract/prostate?  If we were to have only a couple of bad spots in our
gums we would likely be swallowing literally millions of bacterial
cells.  Perhaps some of you here could say whether these cells would
then be capable of surviving the stomach/urinary environment.
Although I have always brushed and flossed, I recently began a regimen
of rinsing my mouth every morning for about 1 minute with a 50% water
and 50% hydrogen peroxide mix.  Hydrogen peroxide is a wonderfully
cheap antibacterial liquid that you can purchase in any pharmacy for
next to nothing.  I try to force the liquid into the gums by sucking
my cheeks in, kind of like you do if your drawing real hard on a straw
in a thick milkshake.  Since beginning this about 2 months ago I have
noticed a slow but continuous trend toward better prostate health.  I
recognize it may be coincidence but then again maybe not.  As a bonus,
my gums have shown a positive change in health.  Good luck to all of
you.
