Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Aloe vera cures gum disease
Want a simple, effective cure for gum disease? It's easy: Just sprinkle some of this aloe vera powder on your toothbrush before brushing. The aloe vera powder actually heals gums and eliminates gum disease.
Merely drinking the aloe also helps heal your gums: Just swish the liquid around your mouth a few times before each swallow. You'll be bathing your gums in healing aloe gel, and they'll begin to heal rapidly. Even severe cases of gum disease can be completely cured in a matter of weeks using aloe vera gel. | Andreas Moritz See book keywords and concepts | Department of Health and Human Services concluded that only 5 percent of dentists' time is spent in attempting to treat gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and yet the majority of all teeth that are pulled (or fall out) are lost due totally to gum disease! This has not changed since then but has actually become worse. A study conducted by dental authorities in North Carolina states that: gum disease in America is "rampant." And it continues to escalate at epidemic proportions. | Gabriel Cousens See book keywords and concepts | Studies also show that smoking increases the chances of developing gum disease, a contributing factor in poor glycemic control. In fact, smokers are five times more likely than nonsmokers to have gum disease. For smokers with diabetes, the risk is even greater. If you are a smoker with diabetes, age 45 or older, you are twenty times more likely than a person without these risk factors to get severe gum disease.82
Diabetes as an Accelerated Aging Reality
Often diabetes doesn't get diagnosed until its complications begin to arise. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | The aloe vera powder actually heals gums and eliminates gum disease.

You'll be bathing your gums in healing aloe gel, and they'll begin to heal rapidly. Even severe cases of gum disease can be completely cured in a matter of weeks using aloe vera gel. (By the way, most people with gum disease are also chronically deficient in vitamin D, so if you boost your vitamin D intake while treating your gums with aloe vera gel, your results will be greatly accelerated! | Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews See book keywords and concepts | Like conventional treatments for gum disease, green tea is most effective at the earliest stage of development, and is probably ineffective if gingivitis progresses to the serious condition of periodontal disease.12
THE EFFECT OF GREEN TEA ON BAD BREATH
Plaque not only causes tooth decay and gum disease but is also the primary cause of bad breath. The odor of bad breath, or halitosis as it is technically called, comes from a combination of bacteria, decomposing food, and decomposing tissue. | Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan See book keywords and concepts | The good news is that with early treatment, gum disease is reversible.
Healthy gums are pink or coral.They should also be firm and resilient when poked. And, of course, there should be no bleeding or pain.
WARNING SIGN
Gum disease (periodontitis) puts a person at increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Swollen gums can be a telltale sign that you're a smoker or that you've been clenching or grinding your teeth. They can also be a reaction to certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, antidepressants, and some heart medicines. | Andreas Moritz See book keywords and concepts | The diagnosis of the gum disease and its predictable solution is based on over 30 years of study, research, and private practice, of Dr. Robert O. Nara. Dr. Nara is the founder of Oramedics International, the world's only group dedicated to helping people avoid tooth and gum disease rather than treating the results of the disease process with needles, knives, drugs, drilling, pulling and false teeth! Dr. Nara's solution is simple and effective, and it makes sense.
He says that American forefathers used brine to preserve their food and kill bacteria. | | Most people believe that gum disease is caused by plaque. Research studies by Socransky at Forsyth Dental School in Boston, and by Loesche at the University of Michigan showed that the plaque theory does not hold. The presence of up to five different types of destructive bacteria in gum diseases actually shows that plaque and tartar are not primary causal factors, but effects. Healthy gums attract only good bacteria, such as gram-positive faculative rods and cocci—predominately Actinomyces species and streptococci. | | For situations of advanced gum disease, however, Dr. Nara recommends you also use Sanguinaria, an herbal extract, which has been used as a mouth rinse for centuries by native cultures.
Gum disease indicates the presence of large amounts of toxins in the body, especially in the alimentary canal which begins in the mouth and ends in the anus. In addition to the above rinsing procedures, it is also important to address the underlying causes, that is, poor diet, dehydration, irregular lifestyle, congested liver and intestinal tract, and emotional stress. | Gabriel Cousens See book keywords and concepts | In fact, smokers are five times more likely than nonsmokers to have gum disease. For smokers with diabetes, the risk is even greater. If you are a smoker with diabetes, age 45 or older, you are twenty times more likely than a person without these risk factors to get severe gum disease.82

Aloe vera heals burns, cuts and scrapes
When used externally, aloe is the best wound dressing ever discovered, far exceeding the capability of even the most advanced emergency room wound dressings. | James Dowd and Diane Stafford See book keywords and concepts | Many studies have revealed a link between gum disease, cavities, and/or tooth loss and the incidence of cardiovascular disease and multiple sclerosis. gum disease is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, even after accounting for other variables. Again, vitamin D deficiency is a common variable.
LOLA'S STORY
Lola, thirty-seven, is a good example of the health vulnerability of young mothers. Too often, people attribute fatigue and body aches to the increased demands involved in taking care of young children. | Brigitte Mars, A.H.G. See book keywords and concepts | It also can be used as a gargle to relieve sore throat, as a mouthwash to prevent cavities and to treat gum disease, as a cleansing powder to brush the teeth. It also can be dried and powdered and used as a snuff to stop nosebleed.
As a flower essence, vervain calms zealots who try to impose their will and beliefs on others, helping them to relax and allow others to lead their own lives. It is helpful for those who are argumentative and highly strung, as well as those who are over-stressed and have muscle tension, headaches, and eyestrain. | Joerg Gruenwald, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | SYMPHYTI RADIX
¦ Blunt injuries
Externally, Comfrey is used for bruises and sprains, to promote bone growth, and as a mouthwash and gargle for gum disease, pharyngitis, and angina. Internally, it is used for gastritis and gastrointestinal ulcers. In folk medicine, it is used for rheumatism, bronchitis, pleuritis and as an antidiar-rheal agent.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
SYMPHYTI HERBA, FOLLIUM AND RADIX
Comfrey is contraindicated in pregnancy and in nursing mothers. | | DOSAGE

Without spit, we'd lose all our teeth within 6 months!
Does your mouth often feel like it's made of sandpaper or stuffed with cotton? If so, you may have xerostomia—the medical moniker for dry mouth. Occasional dry mouth is normal and usually a sign you're dehydrated from too much salt, alcohol, or heat. It can also be your body's way of telling you that you're under stress and need to chill out. | Brigitte Mars, A.H.G. See book keywords and concepts | Self-heal can also be prepared as a mouthwash or gargle to treat mouth sores, gum disease, sore throat, and thrush or as a douche to treat leukorrhea.
As a flower essence self-heal helps users to gain the courage to be in good health. It aids in nutrient assimilation and promotes self-love and self-acceptance. It can be of particular benefit to those who have tried many therapies without benefit. It guides users in slowing down, gaining perspective, and evaluating their priorities.
Edible Uses
The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. They make a refreshing sun tea. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Planned sunlight exposure for enhanced creation of vitamin D which prevents gum disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease, obesity and all kinds of cancers including prostate cancer.
In future articles, we'll examine these areas in more detail, discussing the best nutritional strategies for physical performance, fertility, brain function, stress adaptation, disease prevention, longevity and much more. We'll also look at the most common sources of the chemical contaminants and food additives that are causing the most damage to men's health right now. | Joerg Gruenwald, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | INDICATIONS AND USAGE
The drug is used as a decoction for gum disease and inflammations of the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat (rarely used today).
In Indian medicine, Acacia is also used as a decoction in the treatment of diarrhea, vaginal secretions, and as an enema for hemorrhoids.
Efficacy has not been proven.
PRECAUTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
Large doses taken internally can lead to indigestion and constipation.

¥Prevention: Gingivitis can occur mildly or as a more severe ulcerative form, known as trench mouth. | Brigitte Mars, A.H.G. See book keywords and concepts | The bark is often used topically to heal skin infections, gum disease, and dental problems; a decoction of the bark can be applied topically to treat hemorrhoids.
As a flower essence, neem enhances intuition and concentration and helps users to be less judgmental.
Edible Uses
Neem bark, leaf, and seed are not generally considered edible. The fresh or dried flowers can be eaten, however, and are sometimes used as decorative condiments. | David W. Grotto, RD, LDN See book keywords and concepts | This newer concept of antiadhesion is not just limited to UTIs [urinary tract infections] but potentially other harmful bacteria as well, including those responsible for stomach ulcers and gum disease.
Throw Me a Lifesaver!
CANCER: Multiple studies have found that flavonoid compounds including anthocyanins, flavonols, and proanthocyanidins, found naturally in cranberries, may be able to fight leukemia, breast, lung, colon, and potentially many other types of cancer.
HEART DISEASE: Flavonoids may also reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. | Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan See book keywords and concepts | The ancient Babylonians and Assyrians had several effective remedies for gum disease and mouth ulcers, including rubbing the inflamed areas with onion mixed with oil and turnip seed. Both onions and turnips, it turns out, have anti-inflammatory properties.
LIPS AND MOUTH
PUFFY LIPS
Puffed-up lips on women have been a sign of beauty and sensuality for centuries. In Victorian times, young women "practiced their P's"—that is, they repeated words that began with the letter P—in the hope of developing a permanent set of pretty, perky, and puckered lips with which to woo suitors. | Marshall Editions See book keywords and concepts | One of the most common causes is poor oral hygiene, which leads to a build-up of plaque and gum disease. Most people have bad breath to a certain degree first thing in the morning, because while you are asleep the amount of saliva that is moved around the mouth decreases. Bacteria then start to work on any particles of food or other debris present in the mouth, creating an unpleasant smell (morning breath). Many illnesses can also lead to bad breath. | Joerg Gruenwald, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | It is used externally for rheumatism, gum disease, and angina.
PRECAUTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
No health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with the proper administration of designated therapeutic dosages of European origin (triploid strain, up to 15% beta-asarone in volatile oil). Long-term use of this drug should be avoided. Malignant tumors appeared in rats that received Indian Kalmus oils over an extended period (tetraploid strain, over 80% p-asarone in volatile oil).
DOSAGE
Mode of Administration: Calamus preparations are for internal and external use. | Andreas Moritz See book keywords and concepts | Nara is the founder of Oramedics International, the world's only group dedicated to helping people avoid tooth and gum disease rather than treating the results of the disease process with needles, knives, drugs, drilling, pulling and false teeth! Dr. Nara's solution is simple and effective, and it makes sense.
He says that American forefathers used brine to preserve their food and kill bacteria. The same germ-removing action of salt water can be harnessed to keep the gums free of infection. Millions of people have used warm salt water rinses to cure oral abscesses, gum boils, etc. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | Gum Disease and Other Oral Disease
Research conducted over the last few decades has shown that gum disease (periodontitis) can significantly increase the risk of stroke. In one study, 10,000 adults who participated in a health survey from 1970 to 1992 found that those with gum disease were at increased risk for stroke. According to researchers, the bacteria associated with gum disease enter the bloodstream, damaging the lining of blood vessels and stimulating clotting. | Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan See book keywords and concepts | Here are just a few of the health care professionals you may be talking to when it comes to your lips, mouth, and teeth:
• Dental hygienist: A health care professional licensed in dental hygiene who specializes in preventing tooth and gum disease. In addition to cleaning teeth, dental hygienists are trained to evaluate the teeth, gums, and mouth for abnormalities.
'Dentist: A specialist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) degree. (These degrees and training are the same.) Dentists can treat periodontal disease as part of overall dental care. |
