Loading ...Colon Cancer Linked to Mouth Bacteria from Gingivitis
Genomic research of Fusobacterium nucleatum isolated from colon cancer tumors may help researchers develop future screening tests and cancer vaccines
Pinning down colon cancer’s genetic or environmental causes has been a complex and long-running quest, but a new study in Nature points to a promising clue: a bacterium typically found in the human mouth. The study found that a specific subtype, or clade, within a subspecies of Fusobacterium nucleatum was linked to colon cancer growth and progression. These results, the study authors say, could lead to better noninvasive diagnostic methods for colon cancer and could even suggest new therapies targeting these bacteria for tumor elimination.

Brush Your teeth
Yes, brush up daily. More and more we are learning how key the health of our mouths, gums and teeth are to the health of our gut and by extension our general well being. Its fascinating really. This machinery we call the human body is a miracle of nature if we only knew more about keeping it maintained. There is no operating manual sadly. And there are forces hard at work trying to deceive us so we get sick and stay sick. But minds are opening and cannot be closed anymore. Its becoming clear that most pharma products were never necessary from the get go. We can turn our backs on most and become our own center of healing by learning the basic.
