Holistic, Empathic, Empowered: Rethinking Medicine Through the Lens of Oral Health
Why do many people remain chronically ill despite the achievements of modern medicine? Why do therapies and clinical guidelines so often fail to bring about improvement?
Everything is Connected offers a surprising answer: the cause often lies where no one thinks to look, in the mouth.
Dental and oral health have a direct impact on the whole body: inflammation in the mouth affects energy levels, sleep and the body’s ability to recover. Inflammation in the jaw can have a profound impact on overall health. Oral bacteria can trigger inflammatory processes in the body and lead to chronic fatigue, mental health issues and sleep disorders. These examples illustrate that the body does not distinguish between medical specialities and their boundaries; instead, it requires a holistic approach, beginning with the mouth.
Combining surprising case studies, scientific evidence and fascinating insight into the interconnections within the human body, this book brings together the perspectives of doctors and patients, advocates interdisciplinary collaboration, and promotes greater patient empowerment. A long-overdue exploration of a more holistic approach to medicine: accessible, compelling and medically sound.
