Open Your Mouth

So I've been thinking about the body lately. Disease is rampant in our country and nutrition is non-existent. This combination seems to be causing a lot of pain and agony. I recently went to the dentist and was told that I needed to have gum surgery because of disease. Well, as you know I'm a naturopathic person so that isn't an option. I researched options for me and found a few things.

1) Change of diet to more alkaline instead of acidic will reduce inflammation in the gums. Veggies here I come.
2) Flushing out your mouth daily will help to move any food particles from the gum line so bacteria can't form. Water Pic from Walmart - three times a day I flush out my mouth, twice with a little hydrogen peroxide in the water and once with just water.
3) Brush and floss daily - I do this sparingly - I brush three times per day but the flossing still seems to be hard for me to do.
4) Bio Dent - a great formula for working bacteria out of your gum lines. It's pill that I take once a day (4 pills).

Now you may be wondering, why in the world is she talking about teeth. Well think about it. Everything that gets ingested into your body must go through your mouth. Food, Water, Coffee, Air - everything that goes in goes through your mouth area first. So if your mouth is infected with bacteria what do you think goes into your system? My guess, bacteria.

Your first line of defense to creating a stable body is to kill the bacteria in your mouth and thereby killing the bacteria in your body. I believe you can do this with 1 - 3 above. Your basic good nutrition and good oral hygiene. My dentist has been amazed at the difference in my gums and no longer is recommending surgery. He said he can't believe it however I knew it. Diet and Hygiene are the most important parts of your life. Take the time to do them and you will feel so much better!

Blessings to you!
