Can the poisens from a rotten tooth cause arthritis?

February 5, 2011 by admin  
Filed under Arthritis

I'm pretty sure that it can cause other health concerns like diabetes and high blood pressure and some other bad stuff too. I'm also aware that a rotten tooth can kill you eventually. What I'm looking for is how it can cause any of these things and whether or not it can cause arthritis too.

Does Everyone know that this is National Scleroderma Awareness Month?

August 22, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Scleroderma

Have you ever heard of scleroderma? This is a rare condition that is increasing in frequency. It causes progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. It is 3 to 4 times more common in women than men, particularly younger African American women, but it can affect anyone. The cause is unknown, but researchers suggest that environmental and genetic factors play a role.
In typical cases, patients first develop skin thickening on the fingers or elsewhere. Patients may complain of cold, swelling, and puffy fingers and hands. Arthritic symptoms are also common throughout the body. As the disease progresses, additional organs are affected such as the heart, esophagus, joints, muscles, and lungs. Patients can develop sudden severe high blood pressure and even kidney failure. There is no specific blood test for the diagnosis, although many different tests will be abnormal. There are several treatments but no cure as yet..If you are looking for a Charity, Please give to Scleroderma.
