Dr. Kelly Blodgett of Portland, OR saved my life and teeth. I was experiencing escalating pain in my teeth for a few months prior to deciding to do something to relieve the discomfort and disease. (Couldn’t drink hot or cold beverages without stabbing pain)

The first two dentists I saw said, “all your teeth are diseased and I will have to take them all out.” Then I did some Internet surfing to find someone who knew what they were doing and found a minimally invasive (no cutting and sewing) and in my experience the most comfortable dentist I have ever had, Dr. Blodgett.

He used a laser to blast away the disease in my mouth! I didn’t know that lasers could be used to cure disease in this way. The laser process also stimulates bone growth! I wonder what else it can cure? For more info about how laser dentistry works I invite you to visit Biolase on the web.

Since the first laser treatment in February 2007 I’ve made incredible progress (uppers) and March 2007 (lowers) and in my visit today, September, 2007. For me it is the difference between night and day. I’m smiling again with MY teeth, and that has made a world of a difference!

I am forever in your debt Kelly. Thank you.
Very truly yours; Paul Jaramillo Tigard, OR

Healthnotes Newswire (May 31, 2007)—Nutritional therapy is as effective at managing postoperative pain from endometriosis as hormone therapy, new research reports. A combination of vitamins, minerals, probiotic bacteria, and fatty acids from fish oil, combined with customized dietary changes, was found to be effective at relieving pain in women who had recently had surgery to treat endometriosis, a painful condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus occurs in abnormal locations such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and abdominal cavity.

Healthnotes Newswire (May 24, 2007)—Chronic digestive problems are often a sign of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but sometimes other undiagnosed conditions are the real cause. New research suggests that people with an accurate diagnosis of IBS could benefit from taking peppermint oil.

IBS is a common digestive disorder marked by abdominal bloating and discomfort, gas, and loose stools or constipation, or episodes of each. Its cause remains unknown, but stress appears to be an important contributing factor.

Healthnotes Newswire (May 24, 2007)—People with arthritis often look for alternatives to drug medicine, but a new analysis has determined that chondroitin doesn’t reduce symptoms, despite some research to the contrary and the supplement’s loyal following of people who feel it has helped them.

Cartilage provides the cushion between bones that meet and form joints. It holds more water, is softer, and can repair and replace itself more quickly than bone. As we age, the repair process slows down and the layer of cartilage in the joints thins and can eventually disappear. Osteoarthritis is the joint condition marked by this thinning of cartilage and the resulting pain and stiffness.

Healthnotes Newswire (May 24, 2007)—People who are more physically active during leisure time have a lower chance of suffering from a repetitive strain injury on the job.

Repetitive strain injuries are a type of soft tissue injury—those that affect muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves—resulting from repeated, awkward, or forceful bodily movements. Most of these injuries occur in the upper body; carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, bursitis, and thoracic outlet syndrome are some examples. As more jobs are now performed sitting at a desk in front of the computer, the prevalence of repetitive strain injuries is increasing.
