Re: [SPAM] Re: Vitamin C supplementation - Peridontitis.

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Geoff and Sabine.

Yr suggestions very helpful. I'm seeing the patient again tomorrow, so will

follow through with both your suggestions. Commiphora is great for mouth

problems, isn't it?

Thanks again. (This is what I feel is really valuable about this forum - getting

other herbalists experience and viewpoints)

Vitamin C supplementation - Peridontitis.

> I hope someone out there can help me with a patient I have who has severe

peridontitis. She has had root scrappings, antibiotic pellets inserted into

gums (3 times) but still has visible pockets of infection in gums. I started

treating her 2 months ago with mouthwash (Thyme, Calendula 25%, Myrrh,

Lavender and Gotu cola) as well as a systemic mix. There has been a

noticable improvement BUT her diet is haphazard (full time work and single

mother with 3 children to look after) and she smokes. I recommended a

Vitamin C and zinc supplement to her (especially in light of her smoking)

but she has reacted to the citrus in the Vitamin C with migraine type

headaches and visual disturbances. She also has similar reaction when eating

citrus fruits, strawberries, grapes and rose (pink) wine.

citrus - is ascorbate, citrus based?
