Hi Ann! My friend Ron made a good suggestion after reading your prayer request. He asked if Organic Germanium would help. If you haven't heard of it, it's a mineral that's the active ingredient in garlic, ginseng, shitake mushrooms, etc. Since it sounds like the doctor's out of ideas, this may work. Germanium helps the body fight all kinds of diseases. Because it comes in tablet, capsule or powder form, it can be effective applied directly to infections and injuries or taken orally. I've been taking it daily for over 20 years. When I do get a rare infection or illness, I triple my daily dose. Now, I'm no doctor, so this is just advice from a friend, but, if I had a gum disease that defied other treatment, I would buy organic germanium powder and try it like this...brush teeth and gums with (200mg) 3 times a day and just let it absorb through the gums. If you see improvement within a month, you'll be able to determine if you should continue the practice. You should see some improvement as early as 10 days. Once the gums are healed up, you might be able to just take it in capsule form. I take one capsule a day.
Here's a link to the brand I use at the least expensive source I've found. You can find it in powder form but I haven't seen a better price than this. Just pour the contents of two capsules in your mouth and brush 3 times a day and leave it in your mouth...don't rinse. So, 3 of these bottles should be all you need to either get better or know you've found another thing that doesn't work. Now, don't use this while you're taking anti-biotics because they work in opposite ways.
