Fluoride compounds found in dental products used at home, at the dentist, added to your food and water supply do some interesting things that interfere with health. One very interesting thing that it does, along with interfering with proper function of the thyroid gland, is to interfere with the function of the parathyroid hormone calcitonin. This leads to the loss of calcium being deposited in teeth, gums, and bone to make them strong and flexible.
This might cause you to wonder why dental caries always increase in areas where water is artificially fluoridated, why there is more gum dis-ease, and why there is more osteoporosis, along with rising rates of thyroid dys-function.
Commercial tooth whiteners may contain ingredients that are not approved by the FDA, and are reported in dental journals as toxic. They can cause gum and enamel damage, may affect tooth alignment, and create oral irritation (a red flag for oral cancer) and cause tooth sensitivity.
Poverty and Lack of Nutrition Leads to
Decay
Poverty link to Scots child tooth decay
27 August 2010
A quarter of
more than 4,000 children surveyed showed
signs of tooth decay
A third
of three-year-olds living in poverty in
Scotland suffer from poor dental health, a
new study has suggested.
Researchers at Glasgow University said that
while one in every four children tested
showed signs of tooth decay, the figure rose
to 33% among the poorest.
They
have called for deprived children to be
given dental help from birth.
The
two-year study, involving more than 4,000
children, is published in the British Dental
Journal.
The
research team from the University of Glasgow
Dental School assessed children living in
Greater Glasgow for decayed, missing or
filled teeth.
They
found evidence of decay in at least 25% of
cases.
'Totally
preventable'
However, amongst those from deprived areas,
the incidence of decay was even higher, with
a third of those surveyed exhibiting
evidence of cavities.
Commenting on the findings, Andrew Lamb,
Scottish director of the British Dental
Association, said that as adult oral health
could be predicted by childhood dental
health, targeted intervention was vital to
close the inequality gap.
He
added: "While there has been a significant
improvement in the nation's oral health over
the past 40 years, this study highlights the
depressing fact that poor dental health and
inequality are closely linked from very
early in life.
"Given
that tooth decay is totally preventable,
it's unacceptable that social deprivation is
still such a strong marker of poor dental
health.
"This
study reinforces the importance of providing
support to children from deprived
communities soon after they are born."
WHITEN TEETH NATURALLY - Lemon juice, salt, baking soda, bamboo powder or peelu powder all help whiten teeth. Add a few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide on your toothbrush with
tooth cleanser to whiten teeth slowly and help with bacteria that causes cavities and some gum problems. To add some 'BAM!' to the whitening power mix natural tooth cleanser with baking soda and 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/3 of each part.
Teeth Clenching - a problem of not having enough minerals to buffer stress
I read a study where they tried out some different nutrients and came to the conclusion that calcium and pantothenic acid were what really helped
bruxism.
Earlier, a similar logic led Cheraskin & Ringsdorf (1970) to study the effects of nutritional supplements on teeth grinders or clenchers. Of these,16 took calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid),iodine, and vitamin E. When surveyed a year later, they reported that bruxism vanished. In contrast, the 15 bruxers who only took vitamins A, C, E and iodine showed no improvement. It seemed reasonable to conclude that the active agents were calcium and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).
In the late 1970's I was Health Director with The P'yallup Nation. Unlike most IHS programs, we had a very complete dental health program. I learned from our dental staff that stress in the jaw is very common. The jaw it is one of the first places that stress related tension settles.
Dentists know from their required studies in biochemistry that fluoride is the most deadly poison known to mankind.
Since the Medical Communities, both Orthodox and Alternative, have failed so miserably in Health Care and succeeded so brilliantly in Health Plundering, it would seem to justify one to investigate True Health Care Concepts
Over half of the U.S.A. population is drinking fluoridated water, which is now linked to cancer and arthritis. "Bone cancer has been linked to fluoride in a 10 year study by the National Toxicology Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services." This sensational news was disclosed in an exclusive report in Medical Tribune, December 28, 1989, but ignored by the mass media. Also, Proctor and Gamble, the maker of Crest (a fluoride toothpaste), presented studies to the U.S. Public Health Service, showing that "fluoride tested positive as a cancer-causing agent at the lowest concentrations used." According to Charles Eliot Perkins, a research chemist sent to Germany to take charge of the I.G. Farben Chemical Industries after World War II, repeated doses of fluoride were used to make people submissive to the government. He wrote, "In the rear occiput of the left lobe of the brain, there is a small area of brain tissue that is responsible for the individual’s power to resist domination. Repeated doses of fluorine will in time gradually reduce the individual’s power to resist by slowly poisoning and narcotizing this area of brain tissue and make him submissive to those who wish to govern him. I was told the scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the I.G. Farben Chemical Industries and prominent in the Nazi movement of the time. (The Fact Finder)
