*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice* It's George. If you think that bad oral health is normal, think again. The dentist Weston A. Price found primitive cultures throughout the world who had perfect teeth spacing and

Does this mean that oral hygiene is irrelevant? Obviously not. After all, oral bacteria go to the gut by being swallowed (obviously) so if you have a fungal issue in your tongue, tonsils, throat or whatever and the defenses of your digestive system aren’t that great, then you

So let's cover the things that most people with poor oral health will struggle with. Number 1: Gut issues. The oral gut axis is very fascinating. For example, we know for years that getting aphthous ulcers over and over is one of the first signs of Crohn’s disease. You can

Now a basic and relatively safe formula that you can use in order to improve your gut health is the following. Step 1: Recognize what the wrong type of diet when it comes to gut health is and avoid it for the most part. Just as you wouldn't for example follow a low protein diet

Number 2: Taking part in activities (from certain foods, drinks, to lifestyle factors) that deminerlize teeth. Demineralization, is the removal of minerals (mainly calcium) from any of the hard tissues: enamel, dentine and cementum. On the flipside, remineralisation is a

The main things you must avoid in order not to face this are the following. 1) Phytic acid (can also add oxalic acid). In excess it will bind and prevent from being absorbed: calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron and copper to the point that they can even lead to stunted growth.

Do you think that this is bs? Great. It's not. Drs. Mellanby did a fantastic study on children with existing cavities and the correlation with phytic acid. In the study these children were put into three groups: Group 1: Regular diet (which is high in phytic acid) Group 2:

2) Phosphoric acid and very acidic drinks (remineralizing is impossible in an acidic environment (why a lot of hippies rinse with basking soda after their acidic potions (if the oral environment is acidic demineralisation will promote dissolution or loss of tooth minerals))). Do

3) WAY too many acellular carbs (think white sugar). For example, one of the trouble makers S. Mutans feeds VERY effectively off them (it basically shits acid in your mouth (sorry for the graphic mental image). 4) Sodium fluoride. First of all, there is a difference between

5) Too many carbonated beverages. These also take away minerals from dental surfaces, to prevent teeth weakening and cavities (holes in teeth) forming. For more when it comes to minerals, you can check this: https://x.com/Helios_Movement/...

Number 3: Smoking. Now i admittedly smoke cigars on occasion and i won't pretend that i'm perfect, but i'm afraid that you really can't smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and expect your oral health to be great. You can approach this from multiple angles again whether it's

Number 4: Bad oral hygiene. In the beginning of this thread, we mentioned bacteria. And a common issues with bacteria is....biofilms. Not brushing your teeth, flossing and so on is a paradise for the formation of biofilms. So brush your teeth and floss. *Can also use

Number 5: Mouth breathing. This is a huge issue. It is estimated that about 30 to 50 percent of adults breathe through their mouths... When nasal breathing is blocked, mouth breathing leads to the development of long, narrow faces with crooked teeth, receded jaw, can cause TMD

Number 6: Not getting enough calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K and vitamin C. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go... This is a pretty basic concept and easy to understand. Tooth enamel for example is made from minerals like calcium that also help make your bones stronger. Then, vitamin

Number 7: Go and check your thyroid. If PTH is increased for example, it will facilitate the leach of calcium from the bones. https://x.com/Helios_Movement/...

That was pretty much it. Now, other things worth considering in my opinion are: -Regular check ups -Professional cleanings -Xylitol -Nanohydroxyapatite once in a while -Baking soda rinses after acidic foods

That was it. I hope that you learned something from this thread. If you did, make sure to leave a like/RT. https://x.com/Helios_Movement/...

@Helios_Movement Fantastic thread! Very thorough and most importantly, highly pertinent to our modern lifestyle. All of this is supported by anthropological studies of human skulls prior to the “modern era” of food trade and a softer diet, which strongly correlates to many of the oral diseases

@Helios_Movement Why not nanohydroxyapatite daily?

@Helios_Movement Banger thread as always.
