Re: Teeth Health

However, his approach is based on his own personal researches and Dr Price's studies in the 1930's,
where he discovered that many, not all, indigenous peoples had perfectly healthy teeth, as long as they kept to
their original and natural diets. Whenever indigenous people switched to 'western' diet, tooth decay came about.
Actually I wanted to quote some information from their website, but I checked their copyrights and they don't
allow it, but say one should link to the website instead. Well, whatever.

What it comes down to, I think, is that following the guidelines of detox, anti-candida diet, work-out, sauna, fasting,
infra-red light, mineral supplements, and then maintaining a steady diet of vegetables, gluten-free grains, nuts etc (check the threads), you'll be having your healthy teeth automatically, osit, because the entire system is being taken care of, as the teeth's condition depends on one's overall physical condition, which in turn depends on efficient nutrition.

Hmm ye I agree.

In the Magnesium Miracle thread I read:

Transdermal Magnesium Therapy

In the caveman period, calcium and magnesium were at a ratio of 1 to 1. Now, because the soil is no longer magnesium-rich and because the foods that contain magnesium are usually cooked or processed, the mineral is in short supply, and the ratio has become 6 to 1.

The disparity has led to many different and varied health issues because magnesium plays a role in most of human processes. Magnesium deficiencies are associated with conditions as varied and as simple as hangovers and wrinkles, and as severe as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Since there is nothing done in the human body that does not use energy, and since that energy cannot be made nor used without magnesium, people become patients suffering from PMS, Chronic Fatigue, low metabolism, painful and enlarged breasts, sinus problems, psoriasis, and heavy metal toxicity. Deficiencies of magnesium are involved with deficiency of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and E, and with the body's inability to make or use protein.

Among other signs, magnesium deficiency might be suspected when someone is restless, can't sit still, body rocking, grinding teeth, noise sensitivity, poor attention span, poor concentration, irritability, aggressiveness, ready-to-explode anger, a variety of psychological symptoms, as well as depression.

Lack of the mineral has also been connected with Parkinson's disease, MS, and Alzheimer's disease.

A quick look at some general uses of magnesium includes the following: SKIN - sprayed on, the skin will begin to rejuvenate; on the hair, new growth. TEETH - use as mouthwash to strengthen teeth and for gingivitis.

I personally use a mineral tooth paste (with algae-extract) from an organics shop, without fluoride.
I have wondered though, whether there're even better solutions.

Hmm ye me too. I guess I'm gonna buy a tooth paste that doesn't contain fluoride as well and triclosan! And I might try the Magnesium mouthwash.

One of my teachers (phytotherapist) in naturopathic school has once told us about her own way of going about it:
She never brushes her teeth! Sometimes she rinses them with some herbals if needed.
She's a smoker and she has pretty healthy-looking teeth (as an outside observervation) and no foetor ex ore = mouth odor.

Quite interesting! I think what people eat has quite some effect on the teeth. I don't think that if I eat hamburgers all the time and merely rinse my teeth I would have the same effect!

p.s.
I'll translate some bits and pieces from the German website though, because the information seems worth considering.
Please, just have some patience, those articles are all pretty long. It's still better tho having them here than having to buy
still another book, unless of course you're rich.. ;)

Take your time essence!

Here's more from the Candida thread:

People may have symptoms that appear totally unrelated to the candida such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, vaginal yeast infections, headaches with sinus involvement, histamine allergic reactions and thrush white tongue, to name a few. Remember, the mouth is the beginning of the GI tract and culinary sugars begin their work immediately on the teeth, gums and tissues through interaction with fungi. Sugar activates candida metabolism and some of its by-products are neurotoxins such as formaldehyde, alcohol and acetlyaldehyde. One's nervous system can become deranged during candida due to specific neurotoxins. Autism is one example of this.

[...]


Candida therapy starts with eliminating their energy foods from the diet, killing the fungus with various remedies, cleaning the intestinal walls, rebuilding the intestinal walls and rebalancing intestinal flora. As with any disease, candida healing also begins with an honest examination of one's emotional, mental and spiritual health.

[...]

Symptoms:

Gastrointestinal: indigestion, gas, bloating, inflammation, pain, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, bad breath, dry mouth, coating on tongue, thrush.

[...]

More Herbs:

Bitters are great healers of the blood and GI tract and give candida the shivers. I juice fresh dandelion leaf because it is helpful for my mouth, teeth, potassium and liver restoration. Christopher Hobb's book, Foundation for Living, A Liver and Digestive Herbal, has a great bitters recipe.

Re: Dental Almagams?

Now a video with vapors from mercury alone, corroborating the dental amalgam 'fumes':

Imagine what happens when a mercury (energy savings)
fluorescent bulb cracks... Lunatics galore!

Re: Dental Almagams?

Ive been reading about cilantro as a detox for heavy metals (mercury in particular). Thought some of you might like to have the recipes (there are two to choose from), for a chelation mixture....

Thank you SO MUCH for this information, Black Swan. I will be definitely be adding cilantro to my garden this year, and trying the pesto recipes.

Re: Dental Almagams?

Great Stuff!! I don't have the ability to grow a garden, but know where I can purchase organically grown cilantro.

Thanks Black Swan :D

Re: Dental Almagams?

Gosh! Three weeks ago my right hand little finger got colder and colder, then finally in mild pain and like paralized.
Was it the PC's mouse, the posture at the desk?

It happened that during that week I've booked a visit to a chiropractor for a tense nerve on the left side of my neck, a recurring pain showing up about every 6 months, more or less. Obviously I mentioned the little finger issue, and he started massaging the left hand nerves until he found the problematic one. Then went on massaging armed with a special oil and a curious tool for about 45 minutes, from elbow to the finger.

Then he checked my neck and jaw, and then I mentioned my 'silvery' dental amalgams.

He said that with the help of kinesiology it was possible to check how much the amalgams were still 'active', but said there was a far more easier test to check it. So he disappeared for a while and returned with a common voltage-tester, one of those devices you use to check power cables and electrical circuits, with the two electrodes attached on it.

It seemed to function.

Set at 2000 mV (milliVatts), 4 out of 5 amalgams tested still active (around 0.55 on the lcd screen). Curious thing is, that the oldest amalgam (some 20-25 years old) tested almost near to zero on the tester. "You've already eaten all that mercury a while ago", he said. Burp! No more metals inside there, no more. Then he gave me the contact for a dentist practicing the safe removal of mercury amalgams, so difficult to find here.

He noticed also that I had my jaw tilted on one side (4 amalgams on one side, as it is), thus the recurring neck pain, and maybe all the way down to my little finger in some way. He can fix the jaw, but said that removing the dental filling was the best thing to do, as they're the root of the problem.

Next week (last week) I was already signed for an acupuncturist session, almost by chance. My left finger was feeling great, no more pain whatsoever.

But... The acupuncturist showed my that I have the right harm somewhat 50% less sensitive than the left one (the needle pinches he gave me were felt far more strongly on the left harm, from shoulder and way down to my hand, quite a revelation for me at the moment!)

Hoping to have written down all that in a comprehensible way, well, does it make sense to any of you?
Looking forward for a visit to that dentist, in the meanwhile..

Vat ist Vatt? milliVatt? :)
You meant: milliVolt?

I wonder what's gonna happen to those (like me) with
these amalgams and when the maladies are going to
appear!

Please keep us informed on your progress and perhaps
what steps you have taken towards your recovery (detox)?

Have you tried that Cilantro recipe mentioned earlier in this post?

Hi Dant, it's MilliVolts! :P

I've been on detox for about one month, just switched to the basics recently with Vit.C, some spirulina occasionally, niacin, xilitol and magnesium in moderate quantities, and diet as far any gluten-loaded meal comes up along with celebrations and family parties

Still don't have that Cilandro. Once I'm ready without those amalgams fillings I'll give another shot to parasites and heavy metals! The dentist can remove one dental filling per month, more can be harmful with mercury, so it's going to be a long way to see any results.

The first three sessions with the acupuncturist went fairly well and my neck is in a better shape now, like more.. oiled. I've got another 4 sessions to attend, then the sensibility test again for my 'colder' right arm. Thanks.

Re: Dental Almagams?

Dantem, I've had my dental amalgams removed and my dentist suggested taking chlorella as well as the cilantro, to help with the detox. The procedure was carried out with many safety precautions - my dentist, who specialised in this, was dressed as if entering a nuclear facility :) but man it sure was worth it!

Dantem, mine was a similar experience. Took 4 out one day and 3 more a week later. I did a Vitamin C chelation after each - the same day. That dentist recommended the following nutritional supplements before/during/after:
Glutathione 50mg 3x/day
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) 250mg, 2x/day
Methionine 1000mg (divide into 2-3 doses/day)
Vit B-6 50mg 3x/day
Vit C 500mg 3x/day
Zinc 15-30mg/day
Magnesium, 200mg/day
Selenium 50 micrograms/day
Garlic

I think tanking up on Vit C may be very good due to research suggesting that high blood ascorbates can chelate the heavy metals. This is why I did the Vit C chelation directly after the removal of the fillings.

Yeah LQB, that Vit. C is really a marvel! And Thanks for the list.

Now I've got a visit scheduled for next week, looking forward for that dentist's feedback too... And expenses :/

Curious that also the acupuncturist is aware of the mercury threat, and we had a nice conversation about it just today. That mercury must go away!

Re: Dental Almagams?

So, I'm ready for the removal thing, the sessions will start in mid May.

In the meanwhile I was looking for a teeth chart with meridians, along with another one with the connection with vertebrae and nerves/body areas connected to.

For the Tooth Chart just click over each tooth (picture on the right bar) in this oddly titled site :)

For a connection between vertebral injuries and nerves have a look here.

And a more detailed one here.

Haven't checked/asked exactly which vertebra of mine is the one with pain though, just enough to see that those in the 'brachial' section (neck area, usually the C1..C7 vertebrae) which are interested in my case, are connected to the little and ring fingers and the area down the arm where I had my semi-pinched nerve messed up and fruitfully massaged by my chiropractor.

Despite two weeks spent to the acupuncturist my little finger still tends to remain cold. The neck is improving though, even if there's a little hard spot on the left side at the base of the temporal/occipital bone, a tiny cyst perhaps.)

What a relief today when I've accidentally stroke the tip of it, just over the nail, between the desk and the chair, and suddenly the little finger went hot as fire! (geez, could be a revolutionary, unpredictable solution for that one! ;)

Still learning. It may be end all either with the removal of mercury fillings or simply changing the posture, I'll see.

Re: Dental Almagams?

That's good. This may be just me, but one thing I found when I got mine removed, was that I was unbelievably exhausted afterwords. The process took several hours, and afterwards I went home and slept for almost 12 hours! I've been at the dentists before for fairly long sessions and that never happened before. And I had been taking all the recommended supplements. So maybe a good idea to not plan anything too strenuous for the rest of the day.

LQB - Did this happen to you at all?

Ok, I'm here again and with white teeth.

Hi Manitoban, and no, I wasn't at all exhausted after each removal. Perhaps the dentist did a good job with that handy vacuum, a laser and his decade-long experience.

Anyway as the workload mounted and the monthly pay got dried up all along I'm not feeling great at all by now, and cannot give an objective take on my current state of health. A kynesiologist and a doctor specialized in omeopathy told me then that I'm still loaded with mercury, aluminium and other PCB's. It turned out that I've been exposed to PCB's family chemicals since I've started working years ago, along with a full load of Toluene compounds. Just started a detox for the liver and an omeopathy cure for all that stuff.

It may be also a whole load of emotions running wild! I've run up and down the country looking for dentists and therapists like mad and I'm quite exhausted emotionally. My body feels good overally, neck pain and dizzy fingers are gone, but focus and will to Do aren't there yet.

Hmm... too much expectations too soon, dantem?
