Re: RE: do you go to the dentist?

[Guest guest]

Laree,

 

Thanks so much for your dental input.  Where do you obtain bile salts?  I have

heard of malic acid as a food preservative such as citric acid in fruit juices,

but where do you get isolated malic acid from?  I am no chemist, but would like

to learn.  Currently I use a mixture of boric acid mixed w/ sugar water to

exterminate invasive ants in the house, it works great.  Boric acid is extremely

hard to find at pharmacies anymore, as it has been taken off the shelves &

cannot be easily ordered.  Is there a link to obtain these salts & chemicals? 

Baking soda & 3% peroxide are easily obtainable, almost anywhere however.

Well done is better than well said..., Jim Igo

Hi ,

I used to work for a dentist. Some people's teeth are naturally yellow,

some gray, some white --- and there are seemingly limitless numbers of

variations of those shades. If your teeth used to be whiter than they are now,

they are most likely stained, which is not a dangerous thing. Below is

something natural I found on whitening and tried only once but had a hard time

keeping it on my teeth for the time period.

Basically, the acting ingredient the dentists use is hydrogen peroxide but you

have to be extremely careful with that as it will dry out the bone, not to

mention that you will be absorbing it into your system. I'm not inclined

to try it on myself.

What is dangerous is a bacteria that lodges in plaque and periodontal disease

that is very dangerous for your heart. I have not tried this, but would like

to see if my dentist could simply do a bacteria test (most every dentist has

the equipment) to see how I'm doing, without going through the cleanings. I

had so much plaque that a past hygienist gave me a scaler to use in between

cleanings. We could never figure out why I had so much because I was so good

at brushing and flossing. Recently I saw a paragraph from a Price-Pottenger

article about the connection between calculus and bile (maybe on this list?).

I started supplementing bile and do seem to have less plaque.... maybe a little

too soon to tell how much of a difference it makes though. I'm including

that paragraph also below. Hope this helps.

TEETH WHITENING

The secret to this inexpensive home whitening method is malic acid, which acts

as an astringent to remove surface discoloration. Combined with baking soda,

strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser, buffing away stains from coffee,

red wine, and dark sodas. While it’s no replacement for a bleaching treatment

at your dentist’s office, “this is a fast, cheap way to brighten your

smile,” says Adina Carrel, DMD, a dentist in private practice at Manhattan

Dental Arts in New York. “Be careful not to use this too often, though, as

the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth.” You need: 1 ripe strawberry

1/2 teaspoon baking soda Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix

with the baking powder until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the

mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with

toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will

help get rid of any strawberry seeds.) Carrel says you can apply once a

week.***In 1997, a significant article appeared in the Health Journal of the

Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, discussing " systematic acidosis

resulting from glandular deficiencies that impair fat metabolism. " 104 The

author, a dentist, discussed how this acidosis was the cause of calculus

(scale) deposited on teeth, and could be reversed by supplementation of bile

salts. The article provides careful and detailed information on bile

supplementation which must be adjusted to individual need. Two tablets of

5-grain ox bile are to be taken with each meal, to be reduced to one if

diarrhea occurs, and discontinued if diarrhea continues, indicating another

source of fat disturbance is likely. It is interesting that, while I benefited

greatly from bile supplementation, I never was subject to dental calculus;

thus, a trial of bile salts is desirable in cases of liver or gall bladder

congestion whether or not calculus is present.****

What does dry out the bone mean? and what is the problem with " absorbing it into

your system " ?

I have personal experience using the homeopathic remedy fragaria (which worked

GREAT!) and colloidal silver (DO NOT RECOMMEND!) to correct some deep pockets.

I'll post it later when I have more time.

Thanks,

I used to get a lot of plaque too. It turned out that I had

undiagnosed lyme disease during that time so the chronic illness may

have been doing something to my body chemistry. I started the salt/c

protocol for lyme and my teeth started getting cleaner. I read up on

vitamin C and found that according to Linus ing, taking largish

amounts of vitamin C (I forget now, but I know it was more than 500 mg

maybe 2 grams a day) was equivalent to brushing an extra time a day.

So there are a number of possibilities to explain why your teeth would

get more plaque - maybe it's the pH of the saliva and the vitamin C by

increasing health (or just being an acid that makes the body go

alkaline) increases the alkalinity of the mouth. Or some low-level

infection is throwing off your body chemistry, maybe vitamin C

deficiency is causing it - complete scurvy causes bleeding gums, so

would a low-level deficiency cause other changes in oral health??
