Receding gums, as the name itself suggests, occurs when the gum tissue around your teeth wear away and the gums seem to recede backwards making a larger area of the surface of tooth more visible. When your gums recede, it gives rise to gaps between your teeth and gum line. This makes it easy for bacteria to build up and survive there. If you do not contain receding gums, even the root of teeth may become exposed which can then cause pain making your teeth extremely sensitive. Not only this, due to the damage caused to the supporting tissue and bone structures of your teeth, you may eventually lose teeth. Oil Pulling with Sesame Oil to Treat Receding Gums Oil pulling is one of the most effective traditional treatments for various oral diseases. Especially famous for healing cavities, oil pulling can even prevent and reverse receding gums. The anti-inflammatory and many other properties of sesame oil helps remove toxic elements from your mouth along with reducing plaque buildup. As mentioned earlier too, plaque buildup may contribute to receding gums in a major way. Sesame oil provides a protective coating over your teeth that prevent plaque from building there.

What your body needs is a thorough internal cleansing to feel fit again. Start with a ginger-honey decoction. Ginger has many healing and cleansing properties. It controls and subdues flatulence and cleans the liver as well. When you add honey, it makes ginger even more effective because honey is an efficient transporter of essential elements.
HEALING TOUCH: Ginger controls and subdues flatulence and cleans the liver. To make this decoction, take a centimetre of ginger root and crush it. Add this to two glasses of water and bring it to the boil. Reduce to half. Add half a teaspoon of honey. Remember, never boil honey or add it to boiling hot water, as it can become toxic. Always add honey to warm or lukewarm water. Another easy way to detoxify your body is by drinking a glass of warm water with half a lemon squeezed in it. Lime juice is a great detoxifier. Just make sure you don’t add salt or sugar. The next in line is triphala. Just take half a teaspoon of triphala and add to lukewarm water. Stir it well till it partially dissolves in the water.

Gutka’s ill-effects go beyond cancer
The biggest argument made against the consumption of gutka, and rightly so, is that it is the leading cause of oral cancer across the country. But what is perhaps often overlooked when speaking of the health impact of gutka addiction is a host of other medical problems that the continued consumption of the substance can cause. According to Dr Pankaj Chaturvedi, head and neck cancer surgeon at Tata Memorial Centre, gutka and even pan masala, apart from containing cancer causing agents like tobacco and areca nut, also contain many non-food grade agents and chemicals that can cause a variety of medical conditions, from heart attack to infertility. “Gutka contains heavy amounts of magnesium as well as calcium carbonate which are very toxic chemicals,” said Dr Chaturvedi. “High amounts of magnesium carbonate in the human body can cause respiratory and cardiac depression, while calcium carbonate or lime damages the mucosa, causing chronic mucosal injuries and ulcers in the mouth. Apart from this, gutka can also cause hypertension and cause reproductive health dysfunction.” Dr Chaturvedi’s words are substantiated by a health report filed by the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare, Delhi, at the behest of a Supreme Court order dated July 7, 2012. The report, which compiles information from studies done all around the world on the harmful effects of gutka consumption, not only refers to the many different kinds of cancers, but also lists seven non-cancerous diseases that can be caused by gutka consumption. The report, which was filed by a committee of experts which included Dr Chaturvedi, says that hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, nervous system disorders, liver and kidney diseases, reproductive health dysfunctions, oro-dental problems, metabolic disorders including diabetes and obesity, and psychological disorders including addiction, can be caused by excessive consumption of gutka. Areca nut or supari, which is an ingredient in gutka as well as pan masala, is considered to be the main culprit, according to the report. The report refers to numerous studies which relate areca nut with sub-clinical ischemic heart disease (IHD) in diabetic patients, hypertension, nervous system disorders like epilepsy, metabolic dysfunctions like hyperglycaemia and reproductive dysfunctions such as premature birth, lower birth weight in babies as well as infertility. The report also states that two studies each have found areca nut use associated with significantly increased risk of development of liver cirrhosis, chronic kidney disease and urinary stone disease. “It is a common misconception among the public that gutka and pan masala consumption only cause cancer. There are a host of other very serious diseases that can occur due to addiction to such toxic substances,” added Dr Chaturvedi. DNA.28-9-2012.
Appendicitis: Antibiotics in, surgery out? ‘Treatment As Effective As Op’ London: Antibiotics can replace invasive surgery for the treatment of acute appendicitis involving the removal of the organ, as it could be just as effective, a new study found. The study also found that patients who are treated with antibiotics are at lower risk of complications than those who undergo surgery. “Some patients are so ill that the operation is absolutely necessary, but 80% of those who can be treated with antibiotics recover and return to full health,” said Jeanette Hansson. The risk of recurrence within 12 months of treatment with antibiotics is around 10%-15%. Hansson from the university of Gothenburg, Sweden, defended her thesis on the subject, which refers to two major clinical studies of adult patients, carried out at Sahlgrenska Hospital and Kungalv Hospital, respectively. Even though increased resistance to antibiotics could affect treatment, the conclusion is that antibiotics are a viable alternative to surgery in adults as things stand, provided that the patient accepts the risk of recurrence. “It’s important to note that our studies show that patients who need surgery because of recurrences, or because the antibiotics haven’t worked, are not at risk of any additional complications relative to those operated on in the first place,” said Hansson. Appendicitis is a condition involving the appendix (a tube-shaped sac attached to and opening into the lower end of the large intestine), which becomes inflamed and painful, causing abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and fever. The standard approach to acute appendicitis is to removethe appendix. PTI Times of india.28-9-2012.
_Family doctors are fading away Raviprasad Kamila MANGALORE, August 9, 2011 The Hindu
_
THE HEALING TOUCH: A typical day in the clinic of M. Annayya
Kulal Ulthur, a family physician and diabetologist, in Mangalore.
Veterans blame it on the perception that private practice does not pay
While recognising the importance of general health practitioners
or family doctors, a committee set up by the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority (IRDA) in 2007 said:
“Traditionally, the family doctor or family practitioner played a
significant role in providing health care. The growth in medical
specialisation, medical technology, and greater mobility of population, have
significantly reduced his role. Institutionalisation of the family
doctor/general practitioner is imperative in the context of health care for
senior citizens…” (Executive Summary, K.S. Sastry Committee Report, No. 18).
It recommended: “The institution of family clinic should be
encouraged…” (Chapter 12, No. 12.26).
According to G.K. Bhat Sankabithilu, president, Family Doctors'
Association, Mangalore, the tribe of allopathic family doctors in the city and
its surrounding is decreasing.
The fresh breed of MBBS doctors are not coming forward for
setting up practice as general practitioners by setting up their clinics. Some
new breed MBBS graduates practise only for part-time in evenings.
Dr. Bhat says there are about 100 fulltime allopathic family
doctors in the city and its surroundings.
They were all old-time doctors who started practising three
decades ago.
Of them, about 70 per cent are members of the association having
only allopathic practitioners.
He says a majority of MBBS graduates are becoming specialists and
“super specialists” by going for higher education. There is a perception that
it is not possible to lead a decent life by becoming a general practitioner.
Dr. Bhat says it is unfortunate that many MBBS graduates are going for higher
education keeping commercial interests in mind.
Annayya Kulal, vice-president, Dakshina Kannada chapter of the
Indian Medical Association (IMA), who agrees with Dr. Bhat, says he (Dr. Kulal)
started his general practice as a family doctor in Mangalore 1997. “Only two
from my batch took to general practice,” he says.
Many hospitals recruit BAMS graduates as duty doctors as MBBS
degree holders are not willing to work for a salary of Rs. 25,000.
Dr. Bhat says here are four types of patients. Those who have
never met general practitioners and directly approach specialists; those who
depend on family doctors; those who meet general practitioners only if it is
inevitable; and the poor who go to government hospitals and primary health
centres.
Laboratory
Dr. Bhat says general practitioners treat any chronic disease
except heart ailments and those needing surgeries. Many diseases can be
diagnosed without laboratory investigations.
It is not correct to look down upon general practitioners.
O. Srirangappa, District Health and Family Welfare Officer, says
the exact number of general practitioners in the district will be known only
after one-and-half months when all doctors having clinics register themselves
under the Karnataka Private Medical Establishment Act, 2007.
Lack of candidates
Dr. Srirangappa says the Health Department is finding it
difficult to get MBBS doctors to serve in rural areas.
Another senior doctor with the department says new MBBS doctors
are not coming forward to work as fulltime general practitioners in the city.
“This is a reality,” he says.
However, Sridhar Kamath, president, South Kanara Chemists' and
Druggists' Association, says general practitioners were not on the decline.
