"In geographic areas with less than 2,200 hours of available sunlight, there were 486 cavities per year per each 100 boys. In areas where there were 3,000 or more hours of sunlight, there were only 290 cavities per year per hundred.19 The frequency of cavities was also higher in winter than in summer months.20 More recently, in 2008, it has been found that pregnant women who are deficient in vitamin D give birth to children whose tooth enamel is weak and who are at much higher risk of dental caries." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"No less than 1 billion CFU guaranteed potency Lparacassei F-19 No less than 1 billion CFU guaranteed potency SHINGLES See herpes zoster SINUSITIS The sinuses are mucous membrane-lined air-filled cavities located in the facial region. These include the frontal sinuses, the maxillary sinuses, two sinus cavities located between the nasal cavity and eye sockets, and the collection of air spaces in the large, winged bone behind the nose that forms the central part of the base of the skull. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal sinuses that usually accompanies upper respiratory infections." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Even with the larger cavities the disease process slows down and in time could reasonably be expected to completely arrest. These large cavities could take 30-40 weeks to completely arrest depending on size. Once again people may want these larger cavities treated especially where they are visible. Direct benefits to you • The overall effect could be described as "putting out the fire of the disease completely" leaving the person to decide, when and how much rebuilding they want to engage in. The urgency is taken out of treatment (unless there is pain)." - Philip Christie, Something to Chew On: A Mouth Map to Health (Get the book.) "Direct benefits to your teeth • Early cavities (those in the earliest stage of disease, sometimes referred to as sticky fissures) literally fix themselves! The softening enamel rehardens itself (remineralizes) over time and so does not need any treatment—this saves you both time and money. • Middle-sized cavities (these are bigger and easier to see or detect) demonstrate that the disease process is slowing over time. They are said to arrest (stop) and may not require treatment, although a lot of people want larger cavities treated, especially when visible." - Philip Christie, Something to Chew On: A Mouth Map to Health (Get the book.)

"Magnesium holds calcium in teeth to make teeth more resistant to cavities. Although there is less than one ounce (about 19 grams) of magnesium in an adult body, it is a vital nutrient. Most of the magnesium in the body is found in the skeleton, as seen in Figure 10-5. About one-quarter of the magnesium is found in muscles. Only one percent of the magnesium in the body is found outside of cells. Magnesium in blood cells has three forms: bound to proteins, in stable compounds, and as ionized magnesium (Mg++). Aerobic energy production in the cell requires magnesium." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Many studies have revealed a link between gum disease, cavities, and/or tooth loss and the incidence of cardiovascular disease and multiple sclerosis. Gum disease is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, even after accounting for other variables. Again, vitamin D deficiency is a common variable. LOLA'S STORY Lola, thirty-seven, is a good example of the health vulnerability of young mothers. Too often, people attribute fatigue and body aches to the increased demands involved in taking care of young children." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"ALTERNATE NOSTRIL BREATHING Your nose, the body's air-conditioner, can clear accumulated allergens, pollutants and irritants which clog your nasal cavities and respiratory tract, to give speedy relief from asthma attacks, dust sensitivities and stubborn coughs. Five minutes a day of alternate nostril breathing will clean out irritants, help you breathe better and strengthen your immunity to allergies. þ Place your index finger on your forehead between your eyebrows, with thumb on one side of your nose and bent middle finger on the other. þ Breathe in through both nostrils." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"In Europe and Japan, when sugar was rationed during World War II, the rate of cavities fell significantly. Research consistently shows that sugar and sticky starches destroy dental enamel and cause plaque and decay. Sweetened beverages are also linked to increased cavities. A major U.S. survey found that the use of soft drinks or sweet juices three or more times per day between meals doubled the chances of developing cavities.

"While good evidence does show that drinking fluoridated water can reduce the incidence of cavities, an argument can be made that the risks of ingesting fluoride outweigh its benefits. Probably the most effective way to prevent cavities is to eliminate refined sugar from the diet. Aluminum is another toxic metal that is commonly added to municipal water supplies in order to remove particulate matter. In addition, the drinking water in many cities, including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Seattle, San Francisco, and Phoenix, contains excessive amounts of lead." - Jonathan V.

"Bone remodeling consists of two stages: resorption, when cells called osteoclasts dissolve old bone, creating small cavities; and bone formation, or remodeling, when cells called osteoblasts build new bone by filling those cavities with calcium. Usually, bone resorption and bone formation occur around the same time and are balanced. When they're not balanced, you lose bone mass. In addition, bone remodeling happens through electricity in the form of low-energy waves that put stress on the bone." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D., You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (Get the book.)

"The same battle is fought in the vaginal tract, the nasal cavities, and in the mouth. Just as a note, there are some 40 different types of bacteria resident in a healthy mouth alone. changes tend to favor the growth of harmful viral and fungal organisms as well as putrefactive, disease-causing bacteria. • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like Advil, Motrin, Midol, etc. are destructive to intestinal flora. • Chlorine in the drinking water not only serves to kill bacteria in the water; it is equally devastating to the colonies of beneficial bacteria living in the intestines." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"While it does reduce cavities, fluoride might also promote much more serious health problems, including a rare bone cancer in boys. So get an inexpensive filter for your drinking water, as well as the water you use for bathing and cooking. As much as possible, try to cut back on your bottled-water habit. Manufacturing these bottles consumes tremendous quantities of petroleum, and more than three-quarters of the 70 million bottles of water we purchase every day in this country go straight to the landfill, where they generate dangerous fumes." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Asthma is immune-related, and thus may be prevented and supported by probiotics. • cavities and oral disease may be prevented with probiotics. • You can fight the common cold with probiotics. • Probiotics may positively affect mental health. • Probiotics have detoxification benefits. • Engineering may make probiotics into an HIV protection agent. • Probiotics can be carriers of treatments. • Some probiotics may help promote youthful skin. • Kidney stones may be prevented with probiotics. • Current research focuses on mechanisms of action." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Frequent cavities and/or gum disease ?Tonsillitis ?Some forms of asthma Q: You refer to "vitamin D level" and "vitamin D levels." Is it a level or levels? A: Vitamin D has many forms, but we routinely measure only two of them. There is 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25D) and 1, 25 dihyroxy vitamin D (125D). The 25D is a reflection of your body stores and lifestyle; this is the one to measure. The 125D is a reflection of kidney function; the lower your kidney function, the lower the 125D. The latter figure doesn't help you determine your need for sun or supplement." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Keyes, a now retired researcher whose landmark investigations years ago at the National Institute of Dental Research helped to prove that both cavities and gum diseases are chronic bacterial infections. First and foremost, says Keyes, periodontal infections in adults can be prevented and mild infections can be controlled by careful dental self-care (oral hygiene) with such inexpensive and natural products as salt, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and apple cider vinegar. These substances are potent bacterial killers. " - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Finally, healers around the world opportunistically studied the body's cavities and viscera when chance (and war) made them available, and many cultures also dissected animals and the occasional cadaver. These were, for all intents and purposes, the parameters of the diagnostic universe for healers of all stripes and every culture until the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Unsurprisingly, operating within these narrow confines, healers developed similar intellectual and material approaches to the body." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"They cover all our organs and cavities, such as inside the chest and abdominal cavities. Epithelial cell cancers are called carcinomas and make up 85% of all cancers. The compounds of the present invention are particularly useful in treating these epithelial cell cancers in mammals. • The present compounds may be particularly useful for the treatment of solid tumors for which relatively few treatments are available. Such tumors include epidermoid and myeloid tumors, acute or chronic." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Bruxism is actually more destructive to teeth than cavities. Because protective tooth enamel can be worn down during teeth grinding and clenching, teeth can become very sensitive as well. Even false teeth can bear the signs of teeth grinding and clenching. And grinding or clenching teeth, whether awake or asleep, can often lead to jaw problems, such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). (See Chapter 6.) SPEAKING OF SIGNS Hof things, sharp things, sweet things, cold things—all rot the teeth, and make them look like old things." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "If your cavities are filled with several different metals (as many of them are a combination of mercury, silver, and others), it's like having a mini battery in your mouth. The mixed metals create a chemical or electrical reaction that produces a metallic taste, or even a shock. The tinny taste can also signal dry mouth or that you're on an excessively high-protein, low-fat diet. (See Bad Breath, below." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"A whole range of stress symptoms stems from the activation of your autonomic nervous system (ANS), which connects your brain to your heart, stomach, salivary glands—essentially all the organs within the body cavities. As soon as your brain senses stress, the autonomic nerves alter their firing rates with consequences that you can feel—a faster heart rate, rumbling in the stomach, sudden dry mouth. There's a very good reason for your body to behave this way. Your brain interprets stress in the same way it interprets emergencies or bodily threats." - Benjamin H.

"They line the various body cavities, internal organs (such as the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and genitals), and areas of the body that are exposed to the external environment (such as the nostrils, eyes, lips, ears, and anus). They secrete mucus to maintain moisture and lubrication. Occasionally, certain inflammatory substances can irritate these membranes and cause them to produce excess mucus, which leads to congestion." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Whenever used for large cavities, they tend to last no more than five or six years. Indirect composites, on the other hand, can be placed in large cavities. They can even be used in place of gold crowns. They look like a real tooth and last as long as gold. If selected properly, indirect composites are quite non-allergenic and non-toxic. They are fairly new and can be as expensive as gold fillings, but they can save you a lot of trouble and money in the long-term." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Reservoirs of infection were found in the oral cavities of 36 percent of 33 heterosexual couples, the rectums of 33 percent, and the ejaculate of 15 percent of the men.30 This data suggests that oral-genital contact constitutes a probable mode of sexual transmission. Many alternative practitioners treat the overgrowth of Candida in the digestive track as well to address the possibility of migration from rectum to vagina. In fact, a 1977 study found that in 98 women with recurrent WC, Candida was always found in the feces of women with current WC and was not found in women without WC." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Heart surgeons were opening up chest cavities in living patients and transplanting hearts, pacemakers were invented, and neonatal care began to save infants so small it seemed God's hand had reached down from heaven itself and snatched them from death. Yet, ironically, during the same time span in which cures for ancient scourges were tumbling out of laboratories, the medical establishment had no idea that autoimmune diseases even existed." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Despite the supplement, she developed marked edema, ascites (a collection of fluids in body cavities, especially the abdomen), and severe fatigue. Her breathing became so labored that she required two lung taps to withdraw the excess fluid from her chest. Lucy remained homebound, slowly dying. But then Lucy accidentally started taking 300 mg of CoQIO daily?more than triple her customary dosage. Her son had mistakenly purchased 100 mg capsules instead of the usual 30 mg supplements. Four weeks later, Lucy called to say she was feeling better every day." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Mercury Poisoning From Dental Amalgams Silver amalgams, used to fill cavities in teeth, are mixtures of mercury, silver, copper, tin, and in some cases, zinc. All of these elements are toxic. Up to 50% of an amalgam's content is mercury. It is toxic in even small doses. Dental amalgams are unstable compounds. They corrode, and the corrosion releases mercury into the body continuously. It is constantly being "off gassed," or released as vapor in the mouth, and absorbed via the lungs and intestinal tract, where it enters the blood stream.

"These include the frontal sinuses, the maxillary sinuses, two sinus cavities located between the nasal cavity and eye sockets, and the collection of air spaces in the large, winged bone behind the nose that forms the central part of the base of the skull. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal sinuses that usually accompanies upper respiratory infections. This ailment is most frequently caused by bacterial infections, although it may be caused by viral infections as well. Smoking, irritating smells or fumes, nasal injuries, and growths in the nose may cause chronic sinusitis." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)
