"For too long healthcare has ignored the causative factors of disease and directed care to treating its symptoms. Dr. Nordquist outlines the evidence of the inflammatory process of disease and how bacteria, specifically spirochetes play a key factor. The `Silent Saboteurs' opens the reader's eyes to the broad and far reaching implications to healthcare that he outlined in his prior book, `The Stealth Killer'. This book is a must read for anyone involved in healthcare or the patient who is dealing with chronic illness."--Gregori M. Kurtzman, DDS, MAGD, FPFA, FACD, FADI, DICOI, DADIAPrivate General Dental Practitioner, international lecturer and published author
The Silent Saboteur focuses on the important role of spirochetes in oral health. The book summarizes the author's experience that the detection spirochetes by dark field microscopy, and their elimination by preventive antibiotic treatment strongly improves the success of dental implants. Indeed, the oral cavity harbors more than 60 different Treponema species and more than 6 of them revealed to be invasive. Increasing number of observations from the least two decades also indicate that bad oral health is associated with various systemic disorders, including cardiovascular disorders, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease between other chronic inflammatory disorders. Therefore, I strongly recommend reading this book.
Dr. Nordquist's work is a tour de force on the subject of the devastating effects of spirochetes in the human body.Yet it's accessible to both professionals and lay people.There is little or nothing else out there that can come close to this CRITICAL and lifesaving information.Both of Dr. Nordquist's seminal works belong on every bookshelf.William C. Domb, DMDUpland, CA
There are few books in a lifetime that both challenge a dominant paradigm and defeat it. This book is among that hallowed few. The discovery reads like an old fashioned mystery and the serendipitous aspects of the discovery harken back to past great discoveries. It was not made in a multi-million dollar government subsidized laboratory but rather was accomplished by a brilliant mind paying attention to details that at first blush did not appear connected. I am reminded of the discovery of penicillin and the etiology of leprosy. I cannot recommend it more!
I was about to order this book until I googled the Dr. Nordquist and learned he had recently lost 3 malpractice lawsuits. I was horrified to read of the condition he left his patients in. He then declared bankruptcy, so those patients will not likely be paid the money the court awarded them for their pain and suffering and which they need in order to repair their mouths after he wrecked them. It's scary when doctors who cannot or will not provide the minimum standard of care required by law are allowed to write and sell books as if they are experts in the field. Yikes!
