The nitrate is taken up in the gut. It's concentrated in our salivary glands. And the bacteria... perform this metabolism of nitrate into nitrite and nitric oxide. And humans do not have the functional enzyme to do this. We're 100% dependent upon the bacteria.

So then now, because nitrate is inert in humans, we rely on the bacteria to metabolize this molecule into a usable form where we can make nitric oxide. So when you're killing the bacteria, now the nitrate is just being recirculated, but you're urinating because it's filtered across the kidneys. You poop it out and you sweat it out. So it's completely unchanged unless you have the right bacteria.

And what we're finding is that that oral production of nitrite and nitric oxide being produced in the acid environment of the stomach is somehow regulating resistance arteries in dilation to normalize systemic blood pressure.

As it relates, there are many benefits of many nutrients in foods, particular plants, that confer some health benefits. But when we focus specifically on the benefits of nitric oxide from your diet, if you don't have the right oral bacteria, you get zero nitric oxide benefits from your diet.

Now, you're going to get, you know, obviously, hopefully vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D from foods, fiber, other phytonutrients. But in terms of the blood pressure lowering effects of, for instance, a plant-based diet, if you don't have the right bacteria, you get zero benefits of that.

Yes, absolutely.

Yes, absolutely.

People that have dental infections, root canals, cavitations from previous extraction sites, have typically cancer. It sets the stage for cancer cell growth and proliferation. So I made a controversial statement on a previous podcast where I say, number one, I'm not an oncologist.

But people who have terminal metastatic disease who aren't ready to die, who are sent home to die on hospice, somehow find me and go, can you help me with this cancer? So the first thing I always send them to is a dentist. to see do you have any active oral infections that may have led to the development of the primary tumor in the first place.

But obviously it's metastatic, meaning that it's now everywhere. It's migrated outside that primary tumor. But almost always without fail, they have an active oral infection. And it may be a symptomatic infection to where they know it and they have a toothache, or it may be an asymptomatic infection where they don't even know they've got a dental infection.

People with primary tumors, solid tumors, so we categorize these in blood-borne cancers, something like lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, which is a blood-borne cancer, and those that have a solid tumor, a primary tumor that starts in the breast, the colon, the prostate, the lungs, or the liver. Without fail, 100% of them have dental infections.
