"If used in an irrigating device, the warm salt water reaches all gum line crevices and periodontal pockets, which is important for complete reversal of gum disease and tooth decay. Rinsing or irrigating the mouth with salt water several times a day is usually enough to prevent and reverse gum disease. For situations of advanced gum disease, however, you may also use Sanguinary, an herbal extract, which has been used as a mouth rinse for centuries by native cultures." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Other research has already linked gum disease to other diseases as well, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory issues and lung infections. American forefathers used brine to preserve their food and kill bacteria. The same germ-removing action of salt water can be harnessed to keep the gums free of infection. Millions of people have used warm salt water rinses to cure oral abscesses, gum boils, etc. Apparently, the warm salt water helps to draw excessive toxic fluid out of the gum tissue, thereby reducing swelling, alleviating pain, and killing harmful bacteria." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"EUCALYPTUS A great deal of Australian history can be traced from the bushmen who first distilled eucalyptus from the leaves of the blue mallee gum tree, in the very early days of settlement in Australia. Although almost all Australian gum trees are eucalypts, this particular species contains the most aromatic and potent oil, and so is the most suitable to harvest from. Today, the blue mallee gum grows in abundance throughout the world, so the oil is also produced worldwide. Eucalyptus oil is probably the most effective and natural remedy to help reduce the severity of an asthma attack." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Rinsing or irrigating the mouth with salt water several times a day is usually enough to prevent and reverse gum disease. For situations of advanced gum disease, however, you may also use Sanguinary, an herbal extract, which has been used as a mouth rinse for centuries by native cultures. Gum disease indicates the presence of large amounts of toxins in the body, especially in the alimentary canal which begins in the mouth and ends in the anus." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Periodontal Disease Several studies have shown that CoQIO improves the health of the gums—a significant finding, since more than 30 million Americans suffer from gum disease. In theory, CoQIO improves oxygenation of the gum tissues and also has a supportive effect on the immune system. So it not only helps the gums heal, it also helps to suppress the bacteria that lead to gum inflammation and erosion. CoQ10 is definitely worth trying if you have chronic bleeding gums due to gingivitis. I recommend taking the supplement for several months before your dentist makes an assessment of progress." - Mark Stengler, N.D., The Natural Physician's Healing Therapies (Get the book.)

"If gingivitis is left untreated, plaque can spread and grow below the gum line, resulting in periodontitis. In this condition, toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque irritate the gums, causing a chronic inflammatory response in which the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed. Gaps form between the teeth and gums, which then become infected. As the disease progresses, these gaps deepen and even more gum tissue and bone are destroyed. Eventually, teeth can become loose and often have to be removed." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Gingivitis is the accumulation of plaque around the teeth that causes the gum tissue to become swollen, red, and infected. The gums often bleed. Aside from poor dental maintenance and care, a poor diet, poorly fitted fillings that irritate the gums, and frequent breathing through the mouth can also aggravate or cause gingivitis. If gingivitis goes untreated, it can develop into periodontitis. This ailment is also often related to a deficiency of calcium, folic acid, niacin, bioflavonoid, or vitamin C." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Home Remedies GUM IN HAIR: Smearing peanut butter on hair that has gum stuck in it helps with the gum's removal. STICKER AND INK REMOVER: Same deal—just smear peanut butter on surfaces containing unwanted ink and stickers and they should come off! Throw Me a Lifesaver! HEART HEALTH: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a qualified health claim for peanuts in 2003: "Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces of most nuts, such as peanuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"The increased prevalence of dental problems, including periodontitis (bacterial destruction of the bone and tissue supporting the teeth), abscesses, gingivitis (inflamed gums), dry mouth, and soft tissue lesions, among people with prediabetes or diabetes is associated with oxidative stress, glycation-induced damage, and increased risk of infection in gum tissue. Glycotoxins damage blood vessels, collagen, and other tissues and thus compromise the health of the gums and teeth." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Despite their pedestrian applications as fillers, sizing agents, and binders, these materials have exotic names such as gum tra-gacanth, gum arabic, and gum karaya. At best, none is a very strong glue (one tends not to make furniture out of papier-mache, after all), but just as with protein collagen, none is particularly toxic, either. water solubility The animal glues and the vegetable gums may differ in their strength and utility, but they have one very important thing in common: both are water soluble." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Gum problems are also fairly common among adults; in fact, nearly everyone suffers from gum disease at some point in their lives. gum disease is caused by the same culprit that causes cavities, that is, the accumulation of bacterial plaque. If plaque collects on teeth, it can erode the enamel and cause injury. If plaque occurs near the gum line, it can cause irritation and infection which can cause the gums to recede, or pull away from the teeth. When the gums recede, it leaves pockets of empty space that are quickly filled up by more plaque." - Earl Mindell, Earl Mindell's Secret Remedies (Get the book.)

"If you give up cigarettes but continue with a nicotine patch or gum, you can deal with the behavior changes you must make without having to deal with the physical withdrawal from nicotine. Explore options. The patch can provide a steady flow of nicotine but the gum allows you to have more control over the rate and flow of the drug in your system. Depending upon your typical cigarette use patterns, you should choose the option which will work best." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"On the plus side, at least the feed for these "organic" meats and poultry doesn't contain restaurant waste, animal byproducts, municipal garbage, bubble gum (yes, gum and garbage are commonly used), and poultry manure, as it does in regular feedlots. Nonetheless, beyond looking for phrases like "organic," "grass fed," and "free range," the best thing you can do is buy your meat, chicken, and eggs from a local farm or farmer whom you know. This is really the only guarantee that you are getting food that has been raised with care." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

Today, the blue mallee gum grows in abundance throughout the world, so the oil is also produced worldwide. Eucalyptus oil is probably the most effective and natural remedy to help reduce the severity of an asthma attack. It can also prevent attacks even starting, as the vapour stops airways becoming dry and so reduces upper respiratory tract infections." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"But most would agree that whether you chomp with an open mouth or gently nibble, there's no way to chew gum and look relaxed or smart (or even sexy) at the same time. Bottom line: If you're concerned about your breath, use breath strips, suck on a small mint, or give your mouth a quick rinse before meeting others. If you have come to depend on the act of chewing gum to stem anxiety, it's no longer a fun treat—it's a crutch. By all means, enjoy it discreetly or when you're alone to help you concentrate, but to project the best image to others, skip the gum. I am a poker player." - Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.)

"In fact, smokers are five times more likely than nonsmokers to have gum disease. For smokers with diabetes, the risk is even greater. If you are a smoker with diabetes, age 45 or older, you are twenty times more likely than a person without these risk factors to get severe gum disease.82 Diabetes as an Accelerated Aging Reality Often diabetes doesn't get diagnosed until its complications begin to arise." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Combats gum disease—Periodontal (gum) disease is a feature of scurvy; following from that observation researchers have been investigating the relationship between vitamin C and this disease. It is now known that even subtle deficiencies in ascorbic acid can increase susceptibility to gum disorder. Recent experiments have shown that animals deficient in vitamin C are at much greater risk of getting periodontal disease. The vitamin deficiency weakens immune defenses and makes the surfaces of the gums more permeable, letting more bacteria and toxic substances into the tissues of the gums." - Sheldon Saul Hendler, The Doctor's Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia (Get the book.)

"Teething For infants' and children's gum pain due to first teeth coming in, there are several effective natural remedies. Almond oil—Rub on gums. Chamomile—Taken internally it soothes structural-type tissue; a strong brew can also be rubbed on or made in a frozen "pop." Clove oil—This can be rubbed on gums, but should be used only as a commercially made preparation from a natural products store. Do not use undiluted clove oil on an infant's gums—it is way too hot and strong. Vitamin E—Rubbed on gums, it is a tissue healer and irritation reliever." - Robyn Landis, Herbal Defense (Get the book.)

"The patch can provide a steady flow of nicotine but the gum allows you to have more control over the rate and flow of the drug in your system. Depending upon your typical cigarette use patterns, you should choose the option which will work best. If you have been smoking at irregular intervals, such as only in the car or only in the evening after work, you may find that the gum works better because your body is used to having the drug at these intervals. If you are used to smoking throughout the day, the patch may work better for you." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"These days, stars like Britney Spears, Drew Bar-rymore, and Tom Cruise constantly chew gum in front of the cameras. And research by Professor Andrew Scholey from the Northumbria University in the U.K. found that chewing gum might actually help you think more quickly by increasing the levels of oxygen and glucose available to the brain. But most would agree that whether you chomp with an open mouth or gently nibble, there's no way to chew gum and look relaxed or smart (or even sexy) at the same time." - Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.)

"Flossing removes decaying food particles from the teeth and prevents gum disease. Both the teeth, gums and tongue need to be brushed on a regular basis. Some dentists recommend a tongue scraper, mouth wash, frequent brushing and periodic check ups to combat this problem. • Diet that includes eating strong tasting foods, like spices, pepperoni, curry, blue cheese, fish, onions, garlic and excessive protein naturally affects the breath. Fasting can cause bad breath because it may induce ketosis, which is when people break down fats in the liver into usable energy." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Gum tragacanth, xanthan gum, gum arabic, gum acacia, and cellulose gum should be safe. Vitamins and medicinal drugs may have to be bought from a special pharmacy to ensure they are wheat-free (see page 457). Unlabeled sources of gluten can be a hazard. Blue cheese can contain a little gluten since bread is used to innoculate the cheese with blue molds. Ground spices and mustard powder may have very small amounts of wheat flour added. So may icing sugar, in some countries, including Canada. Gravy powder, gravy, or stock cubes can all contain gluten traces." - Jonathan Brostoff M.D., Linda Gamlin, Food Allergies and Food Intolerance: The Complete Guide to Their Identification and Treatment (Get the book.)

"Vitamin C Vitamin C deficiency is common in mouth and gum disease. A sign of it is bleeding gums and gingivitis. Because it helps with immunity, it helps to control bacterial infections and reduces inflammation. 1,000 to 3,000 mgs of vitamin C can be taken daily. Zinc Zinc deficiency is associated with poor healing, immunity and inflammation. Halitosis from oral disease can benefit from zinc supplementation. Typical dosage of zinc is from 15-25mgs per day with meals. Zinc is a mineral that can be toxic in higher doses. Do not take more than 40 mgs per day." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)
