So many people are shocked that they have bad breath because they “brush after every meal.” If you aren’t flossing, you’re not removing bad breath causing plaque and bacteria from 30% of your teeth’s surfaces. Use a tongue scraper as well – you’ll be amazed at how much gunk you scrape off your tongue. First time tongue scrapers may even see some blood come off the scraper and then later a yellow fluid. It may take 6 months of proper tongue scraping to stop seeing any of this debris on your scraper, which is normal if you’ve never tongue scraped before.
Greens Mineralize Your Teeth Need to take care of teeth before cavities are created. Green juices mineralize your teeth. Wild herbs like dandelion is good. He mentions this at the 47-second mark. Brush everyday. Of course. A lot of different toothpastes. True. I like the cinnamon. If you eat lots of sugar and lots of fruits without remineralizing your teeth with greens, then you're putting your teeth at risk. Greens are really the solution here. He discovered clay, living clay. Used for external healing, and internally to extract toxins. Gets rough dirt off of your teeth. If you don't drink a lot of greens, they become a brownish color. The living clay worked for him. Also recommended sand. Yep, sand from the beach. It has a pealing abrasion. He says stay away from pasteurized cow's milk. 40% of folks above 60 years old have osteoporosis. Causes osteoporosis from consuming so much milk products. If you're going to drink milk, drink it in the raw form. Pasteurization destroys the calcium. He emphasizes the greens again, wild greens. He says be careful with teeth doctors, i.e., dentists. I completely agree. He recommends holistic practitioners. I back that.
And then there is Dr. Axe.
1. Remove excess grains and sugars. Grains contain too much of a nutrient blocker, called phytic acid. Difference why Ezekial bread or an ancient grain, fermented sourdough which are free of phytic acid. Removing phytic acid releases all the minerals in food. Get out processed grains. One serving a day of Ezekial or an ancient sourdough. 2. Get rid of processed sugar. Most people realize this. It's not all sugar, it's just processed sugar. Honey won't have any problem on your teeth. Raw, local honey or Manuka honey on a regular basis, then those are "good" sugars. These should not have any negative effect on your dental health. Axe says wild blueberries and apples can be very cleansing for your teeth. 3. Consume more fat soluble vitamins. D, K, Magnesium, and calcium are crucial for your dental health. Superfoods is raw goat's milk kefir. Loaded with Vitamin D, K, Magnesium, and Calcium to restore and cure cavities. Go to your local farmer's market. Sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar. Probiotics kill off bad bacteria and plaque that cause cavities. Coconut oils, avocados. 4. Probiotics.
Acerola cherries contain 30x the amount of Vitamin C that occurs in your average orange.
You've heard of it.
It's ubiquitous. It's in our foods. And you've seen and heard
testimonials on its miraculous effects. So you know it's good for you.
Well, you know it's even better for you in higher doses. Hey, if
you're a high-octane performer, then you'll really want to supplement with
Vitamin C.
1. Virus destruction. 2. Dehydrates the brain and the spinal cord safely. 3. Supports and normalized the stressed adrenal glands. 4. It preserves the lining of the central canal and maintains more
regular spacing and less crowding of ependymal cells (surface cells of the
spinal cord).
I
spoke with a neurofeedback expert in Beverly Hills back around 1998 what the
best medicine for injuries is? Without hesitation or pause, she answered
directly, "Vitamin C." I didn't ask her how much or what kind,
should it come in form of fruit or supplement. I guess I was stunned by its
simplicity, since as I've stated above that Vitamin C is ubiquitous, we know
about its miraculous effects. Yet, we experience no miracles. Why?
It might be precisely because Vitamin C is so well-known; in other
words, it's not the latest newfangled opioid or drug.
Hippocrates said "Of several
remedies, the physician should choose the least sensational.' Vitamin C
fills that criterion.
Is it a volume issue?
Is it a kind issue? Are we using the wrong kind of Vitamin C? Yes,
and no. In other words, it is a volume issue.
There are maintenance doses, then there are therapeutic doses.
A discussion on vitamins is often strange. Healthier people or folks in
control or grappling with control will often say that they don't like to take
vitamin supplements. And from that, you hear a sense of "I've got
this," meaning I prefer healthier alternatives. It depends.
And in part, this answer comes from the ubiquitous nature of recreational
drugs that are made with all sorts of toxic substances. Healthier folks
believe, and for good reason, that the same is true for the nutritional
supplement industry. It is after an unregulated, of sorts, billion dollar
market. "Who is overseeing the quality?!?!" might come the
demand. The supplement industry has been lucrative for the entire 20th
century. Study of its products has been unrelenting. Prior to these
studies we had legend and folklore. All that means is that the insights are
phrased lyrically or poetically to make remembering the insights and
instructions easier. Give this a gander:
In 1948, he published his
first paper on the use of large doses of Vitamin C in the treatment of virus
diseases. In 1960, he realized, “Every head cold must be considered as a
probable source of brain pathology.” Hold on to this thought; it is significant
for the understanding of diseases like multiple sclerosis. He also felt-as do
Archie Kalikarinos and Glen Dettman of Australia-that the dreaded Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome was basically a Vitamin C deficiency. His maxim: the patient
should “get large doses of Vitamin C in all pathological conditions while the
physician ponders the diagnosis.”
I like that concept. This should be the
main protocol practiced by all doctors when confronted with every ailment.
We have misled ourselves
with the mistaken notion that all C was supposed to do was keep us from scurvy.
If, however, we base our needs on the amounts other mammals manufacture with
their intact enzyme it comes to 2-4 grams daily in the unstressed condition.
Under stress 70 kg of rats make 15 grams of C. [Burns; Salomon; Conney].
True, true. People have been trained to
think of Vitamin C as over-the-counter anti-scurvy medication without really
knowing what the symptoms of scurvy are. As long as they don't get
sea-sick, they must be just fine. This is just one way that modern
medicine and its industrialized complex choke valuable, life-saving,
health-fortifying information. Recommending that someone take Vitamin C
they get all defensive because the recommendation alone makes them think that
they are sick. And because they don't have full-blown symptoms of a
particular condition, they feel they are just fine and therefore don't bother
them with sickly or anemic information. Stress alone requires Vitamin C
supplementation. That figure of 2 to 4 grams of Vitamin C in an unstressed
environment just blows me away. With FDA guidelines set at 60 mgs for
Vitamin C is it no wonder that people have been fooled into ailing health?
And where does the medical-industrial-scientific complex want you to put
your faith? Ahem, in your doctor, doctors whose training only involves
pharmaceuticals as healing agents. With this option, is it no wonder most
people are in trouble and the solutions that keep being offered is more
medicine, like "HEALTHCARE for EVERYONE" slogan that gave us
the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act or PPACA, or Obamacare. Just as
more and more people get healthcare, the quality of the care is the first
casualty. Doctors rushing to grab an ever-increasing number of
patients.
We are willing to accept
the premise that some of us are born with genetic defects that lead to problems
that can be somewhat controlled with diet and supplements (i.e.
phenylketonuria, galactosemia, and alkaptonuria and pernicious anemia). Can’t
we accept the fact that we all have a genetic deficiency of the enzyme,
l-gulonolactone oxidase and have to take Vitamin C for health,
even for life? [Burns, 1959]
Irwin Stone calls this
human genetic lack, this inability, hypoascorbemia. The point that Dr. Klenner
is making: “The physiological requirements in man are no different from other
mammals capable of carrying out this syntheses.” If one is anemic due to poor
iron intake, is it cheating to swallow iron tablets for a while? If you are
hypoascorbemic because you cannot manufacture Vitamin C from sugar, extra
glucose in your diet will not help, you need to take Vitamin C.
Loved the way the author set that up, "If
you are hypoascorbemic because you cannot manufacture Vitamin C from sugar,
extra glucose in your diet will not help, you need to take Vitamin C." And
in some cases--what am I talking about, in many cases--Vitamin C is associated
with candy or sugary foods that get labeled as "Vitamins
added."
He reports that one of the
Pilgrim Fathers wrote to a friend in England in 1621: “Bring juice of lemon,
and take it fasting. It is of good use.”
One guy at a forum I frequent takes this every
day. If you've got kidney problems or a kidney stone, nothing better for
it than a half cup of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and maybe a squirt
of honey.
Folklore has revealed to us
what natural remedies have been helpful and even curative. We have been lured
into the trap of modern medicine which prescribed a drug for every condition.
But consider acerola: Puerto Rican legend has it that if the tree bearing this
fruit is in one’s backyard, colds will not enter the front door. This fruit
bears 30 times the amount of C than oranges. Dr. Klenner credits Boneset with
the health of the Klenner family during the great influenza pandemic of 1918.
This plant was made into a tea, bitter but curative. He assayed the tea for
Vitamin C; they were getting 10-30 grams at a time!
Ah, there it is! "We have been lured
into the trap of modern medicine which prescribed a drug for every
condition." That's what I am referring to above. Employers
offer health insurance as part of the benefits package and the husband feels
accomplished. His work and thinking about health and remedies is done.
Only task now is to find a doctor "we like." O, Fortune!
But check out that Puerto Rican folklore on acerola, ". .
. this fruit is in one’s backyard, colds will not enter the front
door." The first time that I'd ever heard of acerolas was when I
sold Amway vitamins in 1979 when I learned that acerola cherries contained
an exponential amount of Vitamin C. But as a young man the claims had no
pull, no real meaning for me. For oldsters, yes, and I remembered that
point in my presentation. Also, check out these concerns about acerola
cherries,
It’s rare to
experience side effects from getting too much vitamin C, although common
problems such as diarrhea, nausea and cramps may arise, according to the Office
of Dietary Supplements. Taking large amounts in supplements may increase your
risk of developing kidney stones. To avoid potential health problems, adults
should not consume more than 2,000 milligrams daily, the Office of Dietary
supplements cautions.
Contrast
the worries and
concerns of Vitamin C stated in that paragraph with the
recommendations and healing influence of higher doses, of the virtues of
Vitamin C going in the other direction, namely toward vibrant health. First,
the author, Sandi Busch, says that it's "rare to experience side effects
from . . . too much Vitamin C," but then recognizes common problems as
though the side effects are more grave or outweigh the benefits of Vitamin C,
". . . such as diarrhea, nausea and cramps." And where does Ms.
Busch obtain her authoritative insights? The Office of
Dietary Supplements, ODS. Had no idea such an office even
existed but it does. It's a branch of National Institutes of Health, NIH.
But Pauling continues . . .
The small amount of Vitamin
C, recommended by the RDA (75 mg then and 60 mg now) is enough to protect the
person from gross disease, but not the amount to maintain good health. Dr.
Klenner quotes Kline and Eheart, who in 1944 realized there are wide variations
in the need for Vitamin C, in otherwise “normal” individuals. In 1945 Jolliffe
suggested that the optimum requirements might be more than 10 times the small
doses recommended.
For good health, individuals, according to
Klenner, need about 1 gram of Vitamin C per day. For therapeutic uses to
correct or improve conditions, you'll need more . . . a lot more.
Scurvy develops slowly.
Crandon (in 1940) found that the Vitamin C level of the blood plasma fell to
zero for 90 days before there was obvious clinical evidence and that this was
as long as 132 days before the first signs appeared.
Incredible, no? So if we wait for scurvy
symptoms to manifest themselves, it takes anywhere from 90 to 132 days to show
up!!! Incredible. Just incredible. So we can go for 4 months
without any Vitamin C supplements and can claim during that asymptomatic
sequence that supplements are a waste of time and only produce expensive urine
because we don't have the clinical signs of scurvy. I wonder what the repair
time for scurvy is once on a regime of Vitamin C as well as what the prognosis
is.

CIRCULATION
VITAMIN E
I was looking for treatments for circulation, particularly poor circulation in the lower extremities. My dad suffered terribly from poor circulation in his legs. I wish I'd known then, what I know now.
So what is it that I know now? Just what I read this morning at DoctorYourself.com:
According
to Wilfrid Shute, M.D. and Evan Shute, M.D., Vitamin E in quantity
has many benefits. One is an oxygen-sparing effect on heart
muscle. Another benefit is that Vitamin E helps to gradually
break down blood clots in the circulatory system, and helps prevent
more from forming. Vitamin E encourages collateral circulation
in the smaller blood vessels of the body. It seems to promote
healing with the formation of much less scar tissue. Vitamin E
helps strengthen and regulate the heartbeat.
Did you get that? Vitamin E helps gradually break down blood clots . . . and helps prevent more from forming." Wow! Just wow. But that's not all.
Vitamin
E encourages collateral circulation in the smaller blood vessels of
the body. It seems to promote healing with the formation of much
less scar tissue.
It is one thing to hear from a friend or from a commercial or from your own reading what the benefits of a particular vitamin are. How often do we hear that Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant and that people should be taking it for colds? We hear that a lot. But there are so many more benefits to Vitamin C that are overlooked. Deliberately overlooked? Hmm. I don't know. Maybe. Yes, Vitamin C does fight scurvy and is an anti-oxidant. Yes, but it also builds collagen, which may prove more important than its use as an anti-oxidant. In fact, turmeric is a more powerful antioxidant than Vitamin C or E.
Studies have shown that turmeric is effective in halting cancer in all 3 stages, reducing the number of tumors and protecting the throat, stomach, and colon against cancer. In animal studies, turmeric was toxic to cancer cells within thirty minutes.
But back to Vitamin E and circulation.
The
above benefits, say the Shutes, mean that vitamin E is important
in the treatment of many diseases of the circulatory system. These
cardiologists treated heart attacks, angina, atherosclerosis,
rheumatic fever, acute and chronic rheumatic heart disease,
congenital heart diseases, intermittent claudication, varicose
veins, thrombophlebitis, and high blood pressure. That's
quite a list, to which they soon added diabetes and burns as
well. Many medical authorities were skeptical, to say the
least. Vitamin E seemed to be too good for too many illnesses.
Well, that is quite a list. And how credible are the authors of these findings? I mean, how do they know? What proof do they have?
Before the Shutes' viewpoint on vitamin E can be disregarded we must consider that they treated more than 30,000 cardiac patients over a period of more than 30 years. Their success cannot be easily dismissed. Today, the Shute Institute in London, Ontario, Canada, continues to see cardiac patients from all over the world, providing what is arguably the most thorough and successful vitamin E treatment for heart disease anywhere.
So there's that.
Guidelines on taking Vitamin E. Dr. Saul summarizes the Shutes' opinion on that question.
A
person in good health may wish to begin with a supplemental amount of
200 I.U. of vitamin E per day and try it for a couple of weeks. Then,
400 IU might be taken daily for another two weeks. For
the next two weeks, 600 I.U. daily, and for the next two weeks, 800
I.U. per day and so on. One ultimately takes the least amount
that gives the best results. This approach is essentially that of
Richard A. Passwater and is provided in more detail in his
book Supernutrition (1975, Pocket Books).
There were reports about ten years that said taking 400IU is the maximum amount one should take per day. But a friend of mine takes 3 to 4 to 5 times that and he looks healthy. Nor do I ever hear of any physical ailments from him. So there's that. But Sau's summary above says that the best way is to take a graduated amount, starting at 200I.U. and working up to as high as 800I.U. a day.
After recognizing Vitamin E's versatility in everything from heart disease to hemorrhoids, Saul explains why a single vitamin or its deficiency can account for so many functions our bodies:
First,
the reason one vitamin can cure so many ailments is that a
deficiency of one vitamin can cause many ailments. Each
vitamin has many different uses in the human body. There are,
after all, just over a dozen vitamins and your body undergoes
countless millions of different biochemical reactions
daily. Therefore, each vitamin has to have a large variety of
applications.
My own experience with Vitamin E is that is a terrific topical wound healer. I said healer. Absolutely. And this has been corroborated by friends who've experienced similar miraculous responses from topical Vitamin E. I had an open sore on my wrist that would just not go away. I was suffering some serious stress at work and the open wound that started as a cut just did not heal itself. It would start to scab and then the scabbing would recede. Frustrated by the lack of progress, I got a Vitamin E capsule. I knew that Vitamin E was good for skin, I just didn't know how good. Within 3 days after applying the Vitamin E to the wound, it had almost entirely healed. The wound had closed and the scab was hardening to its later stages. I could not believe my eyes. I shared the information with a friend. He told me "That's why I take it internally. For healing."
Now tracking the internal improvements derived from Vitamin E is a lot harder. I mean if you've got internal ulcers, it's kind of hard to know if they've been treated or healed by swallowing Vitamin E gelatinous capsules.
2. Vegetable oils [but be careful here: I recommend only olive oil, coconut oil, sesame seed oil, and macadamia nut oil. All others, forget about it, especially forget about Canola and Soybean oils. Ugh!]
3. Hazelnuts
4. Sunflower seeds
5. Avocados
6. Shrimp
7. Rainbow Trout
8. Broccoli
9. Butternut Squash
10. Kiwi CIRCULATORY FOODS BESIDES VITAMIN E 1. Cayenne Pepper 2. Gingko Biloba 3. Ginger 4. Onions. 5. Garlic. 6. Parsley is really good for you; it's got Vitamin C too. 7. Horse Chestnut (I've tried this in supplement form only once.) 8. Willow Bark is Nature's aspirin. 9. Green tea is "known to improve the function of the cells that line the capillaries." Hmm.

Brown, Spotted Bananas Are Rich In TNF I've always avoided bananas because they rank so high on the glycemic index. This video presents benefits to bananas that were once unbeknownst to me. Not anymore. Still, the bananas can put weight on me, which I don't like. Brown bananas are rotten and unappetizing. The more brown patches a banana has, the more ripe it is, and the more TNF, or tumor necrosis factor, it contains. There's more. It goes on. Incredible.
