What is modern medicine's position on infections these days?


Stomach Ulcers:
Helicobacter pylori
Intestinal Amebiasis
Entamœba hystolitica
Modern medicine has switched from surgical procedures to pharmacotherapeutics: a new and much more effective treatment. Amibic ulcer of the colon showing the characteristic sub-epithelial digging. Recommended treatment: systemic metronidazole!
Vaginitis:
Trichomonas vaginalis
Periodontitis?
Entamœbia gingivalis,
Trichomonas tenax,
Candida albicans
2.5 million cases of Trichomonas vaginitis are reported in the United States every year, and treated through  local and systemic pharmacotherapeutics, treating the partner at the same time of course. What do you think? Parasites and fungus of the same string are omnipresent in most cases of periodontal infections and make a moquery of our immune system.

While the periodontal crevasse is systematically crawling with parasites, seeping yellowish fluids and pus, which few dentists have the microscopic tools or the training to inform their patients, we are continuing to proceed with blind circumcision of the swollen gum, and reprimanding our patients for their poor oral hygiene, without ever mentioning the contagious nature of the infection.

Should we conduct a complete microbiological soul search as a profession rather than an in depth bacteriological exam, incoherent and practically non existent in our every day practices?
