yes, thanks John - perhaps if one could find a statistic for the very early onsetters - like before 40..digestive issues have multiple causality and I assume become more common and complex with aging. Wouldn't gum issues more directly relate to the vitality of the heart??hows your heart??

I'm drinking lots of smoothies made with the nutribullet blender but i should be healthy as superwoman by now if nutrient supply equated to nutrient absorption and use.

Just an interesting tidbit ...in Egypt a long time ago there was a hierarchy of physicians and it was neither the cardiologists nor the neurologists who stood at the apex of the pyramid rather it was the gastroenterologists!!

kind regards
