Piggybacking inflammation and dosages

A couple of people on the formula recently mentioned they had tooth problems and this brings up the subject of piggybacking inflammation. I believe flaring will piggyback or flair with any inflammation in the body. The cause of this inflammation can be obvious as in the case of a sinus infection or an infected tooth but it can be very subtle as with gum disease or a food intolerance.
