I've always been proud of my teeth - strong, healthy, straight .... never had to wear braces etc etc. Until about 6 years ago, just after I had heart surgery, when my dentist informed me I needed a root canal.
Who was I to question him? After all, he is the dentist, and I am the patient. Right? WRONG!
After years of coping with heart failure at the age of only 38, and fighting to regain my health and vitality, I am convinced that we have a responsibility to take care of our own health and well-being. Thank God for the doctors, because without their help I probably wouldn't be here today, but they are trained to treat disease, and I need to find health and well-being!
I found out last year that anti-biotics cannot cure anaerobic bacteria. It might control them for a while, but they keep on prolificating and eventually your body's immune system gets weaker and weaker and the nasties get stronger and stronger. So how did I solve the problem?
A good friend mentioned Hydrogen Peroxide. Now if you are like me, I immediately had visions of fake blondes and bad hair. But that is not the stuff I am talking about. I sourced 3% Foodgrade Hydrogen Peroxide from Amazon.com and started rinsing my mouth with it after I had brushed my teeth.
It took 3 weeks, but the pain finally went - which meant the infection was under control! When they finally removed the tooth, they found no infection whatsoever!
I would recommend this for emergency treatment of infections only, because the H2O2 can be harsh on the tooth enamel.
Next time I will share with you how to keep the tooth enamel strong, and keep a healthy mineral balance in your body.
Until then,
Blessings.

It's Been a While!
So it's been a while, but here I am again ... with some news that I believe can help someone out there.
Last year I had a problem with a tooth that required anti-biotics every four weeks. Now, normally, I would say a very BIG no to anti-biotics, but I was getting sicker and sicker as time went by.
It turned out I had an infected root canal which was poisoning my system. It made me look into the toxicity of what is accepted as standard practice amongst most ordinary dentists. What I found will turn your stomach!
Root canals are a hotbed of infection, and because it houses an-aerobic bacteria, they beaver away in your oral cavity, and get straight into your bloodstream. From here the infection is spread to your heart and kidneys and eventually could prove fatal if not properly treated.
It took 9 months before I had the offending gnasher surgically removed and several months for my battered body to recover from the infection, but here I am, fit as a fiddle and ready to share my newfound knowledge with the blog-o-sphere.
In my next post I intend to share some vital information and my new cleansing routine with you, so hold on to your britches ... it is going to be a ride and a half...
Until then,
Shalom
