When Fungi colonize, they like to spread out in a mat before they fruit. The mycelial body must be a certain size so it can fruit. This mycelium, in the shitake mushroom, puts out it's root like fingers trough out the oak log before it puts out mushrooms. So if it does that in oak, maybe fungi can do that in the sinus. The bone in the sinus is porous, so it wouldn't have any trouble finding places to hide. Also, the low amount of blood flow into bony areas works to it's favor when we take antifungals to get rid of it. Fungi have infected almost all the organs I've heard of, from one person or another. So why not a tooth? Is your tooth an upper tooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hey, Alot of people who are mold impacted have lost teeth, as I understand it. I have always had periodontal problems, but had to get 4 dental implants. At times, my gums would turn black, along with my tongue. After all the doctors I saw who did not acknowledge indoor mold can cause illness, my good ole dentist of 20 years looked at my mouth and said " that's fungal. " He gave me a prescription for some antifungal lozengers. What I have found helps the most with this problem, that reoccurs occasionally, is to put a little hydrogen peroxide on a damp tooth brush and rub it over my gums. If you look on the hydrogen peroxide bottle, it even suggests using it in this manner. Goes away within a matter of hours. I also found Hydrogen Peroxide to help with taking away that metal taste in mouth. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Certainly makes sense, and it's interesting to hear more about how mold may function within the body, as I've been on antifungals for over a year. Yes, it's an upper, back tooth, on the left side which is where all of my problems are. Same side where I breathed in a spore(?) at work and felt like it lodged in my throat, same side where I later developed an ear infection and had blood in my ear, same side where I later developed a tooth infection....

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 My son is disabled to a certain extent. At one point say 26 yrs ago I looked in his mouth and I could almost see the bottom of the roots of his teeth. He had seen on TV about Listerine and wanted to use that, I also got Peroxide, All I can say is that today he still has his teeth, a lot of fillings which are not good, I do believe that the Listerine did it along with Peroxide. I know that a lot of naturalists would not like to use the Listerine(I think) but what can I say???? I also have another daughter and a woman who lives with me who have used a Young Living product called Dentrome Plus and Dentrome Ultra. Both women had the disease recede in their mouth. It has come back in both women, but I know that it was not kekpt up and they were it seemed all over the disease and quit usiong the Dentrome. You see it is not a quick process doing it this way and I do not even know what a dentist would do, but I am not exagerrating in saying that I think anyone fighting this should figure on 16 yr, and I would always keep after it. These things really did work on these people and I could feel safe in reccommending it highly. The women were every bit as bad as my son in the mouth. I watched her gums go from dark looking puploe to a normal pinkie red. In fact when I mentioned the problem to a dentist who was caring for the woman who lives with me, he stated that she did not have a peridontal disease and that was with about 2 yrs of fighting it. The thing is persistence. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Listerine really helps. I often use it diluted in my water pik. It's important to use the "original" Listerine, not the newer versions that are flavored with orange etc. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
