Weeds of Wisdom

$Text Box: Have you read your toothpaste tube label? The warning on many that I have read states “Keep out of the reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.” What is so harmful in many toothpastes? Fluoride! “Studies in mainstream peer-reviewed medical journals and government reports now document the fact that serious harms are associated with exposure to small amounts of fluoride-including hip fracture, cancer, and intellectual impairment.” Hill David R, Fluoride: Risks and Benefits? Disinformation in the Service of Big Industry. (http://www.fluoridation.com/calgaryh.htm). The Environmental Protection Agency Scientists take a stand against Fluoridation -- "Our members review of the body of evidence over the last eleven years, including animal and human epidemiology studies, indicate a causal link between fluoride/fluoridation and cancer, genetic damage, neurological impairment, and bone pathology. Of particular concern are recent epidemiology studies linking fluoride exposure to lowered IQ in children." Hirzy J.W., Ph.D., Senior V.P of the National Federation of Federal Employees (a union of scientists, lawyers, engineers and other professionals), letter, July 1997 (Washington, DC). “Brain damage and behavioral changes were found in rats exposed to aluminum and fluoride.” Varner JA, et al., Chronic AlF3 Administration: II. Selected Histological Observations, Neuroscience Research Communications, 13:2 (Accepted July 28, 1993), 99-104; and, Chase M., Rat Studies Link Brain Cell Damage With Aluminum and Fluoride in Water, Wall Street Journal, October 28, 1992. The World Health Organization warns that ingesting as little as 2 liters of fluoridated water a day can lead to the pre-clinical stage (arthritis-like symptoms) of skeletal fluorosis (a crippling bone disease). What we don't know is the degree of risk for other health concerns such as the reproductive system (fluoride affects birth rates, sperm motility and testosterone levels), immune system, and the central nervous system (brain) and if any other systems are affected. “Another interesting finding is that fluoride compounds in water and in supplements do not provide any significant cavity-protecting effects. All of the recent large-scale studies of water fluoridation have shown that there are no positive effects.” Gold Mark D. Fluoridated Water Does Not Prevent Tooth Decay http://www.holisticmed.com/fluoride/nobenefit.html The two main ways that fluoride is introduced into our bodies are through our water supply and through our dental care products. Natures Sunshine products has the answer to both of these problems. The water that we drink and cook with could be hurting our bodies, spring water is the best solution. With years of expertise in the production of countertop reverse osmosis water treatment systems, Nature’s Sunshine has developed a Nature’s Spring RO device to meet the growing challenges facing our drinking water. This unit allows only pure water, oxygen and a small amount of minerals to pass through, while sending everything else down the drain. Nature’s Spring RO device effectively diminishes fluoride, among many other pollutants. Fluoride is in most toothpastes. NSP has answered this problem with a natural toothpaste. Sunshine Brite Toothpaste features hydrated silica powder, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate to help remove stains and polish teeth without damaging tooth enamel. Sunshine Brite also contains several other herbs for natural oral health care. Sunshine Brite is naturally flavored with real mint. It contains no fluoride. Enjoy its fresh Mint Tingle sensation as you brush. Despite dental pressure, 99% of western continental Europe has rejected fluoridation due to environmental, health, legal, or ethical concerns. Only about 5% of the world population is fluoridated and more than 50% of these people live in North America. Until fluoridation is banned in this country, we need to protect ourselves and our children from this toxic substance.$

What is so interesting to me about fluoridated toothpaste is that to help stop a heart attack we put nitroglycerin tablets or spray in our mouth--and it stops the chest pain. We absorb so much through the lining of the mouth. Pretty scary!!! I looked at six different brands of tooth paste and they ALL had warnings on the label! Thank goodness Nature's Sunshine has provided us with a healthy alternative!

Text Box: My daughter, Debra, was horrified to read all of this information on fluoride! She had been letting her little one, Alexis, brush her own teeth with a wee amount of tooth paste! What an eye-opener this was for her! She wrote this to me: “The more I read about fluoride the angrier I get at our government for drugging us basically without our consent. I even called Poison Control and asked them about ingestion of fluoride…they said that the first symptom would be severe vomiting and abdominal cramping. They didn’t want to give much more information than that though. I wasn’t letting her use that much, but the thought of giving her fluoride, a substance that is used as a nerve agent, makes me feel like I’ve been poisoning my daughter.

If you have a question that you would like answered, forward it to Ruby at TheHerbPlaceno1@aol.com and she will respond in the next newsletter. What a neat way to pick Ruby’s brain and share the information with all!

What essential oils are good for dental problems? Clove works well to numb the gums. Frankincense massaged into the jaw outside the affected tooth helps with infection.

I have heard that having dental work is dangerous for people with heart problems. Are there herbs to prevent problems? My husband has mitro-valve prolapse.

I recommend two weeks on large amounts of Enviro-Detox prior to dental work and two weeks after. (I think this is a good precautionary herb for anyone having dental work done.)

Colloidal Silver and Olive Leaf Extract are good options, for those with mito-valve prolapse.

Now the question is what to do with all the fluoride toothpaste that we have at home? Here are some uses for it.

1) Polish silverware, silver, or gold.

2) Remove ink spots from cloth.

3) Remove crayon from walls. Brush the marks with toothpaste and an old toothbrush.

4) Rub all over the outside of glassware to remove scratches and polish to a gleaming shine

5) Removes scuff marks on your shoes, linoleum, appliances or counters.

6) Scrub enamel or metal sinks with toothpaste for a bright shine.

7) Remove burnt food from the stovetop. Let sit for a few minutes before scrubbing away the mess with a rag or sponge.

8) Will take tar off of skin.

9) One inmate in Washington State used toothpaste and dental floss to weaken wire mesh in his cell. He weakened the mesh enough to pry it apart and attempt to escape.

Dental Nutrition

Nutrition and dental health go hand in hand. You may have thought that just brushing and flossing was all it took for healthy gums and teeth. Even though poor hygiene plays a major role in the development of gum disease and tooth decay, an extremely important secondary factor is diet and nutrition.

In the 1930s, a dentist named Weston Price studied the relationship between deteriorating dental and general health. He noticed that each new generation seemed to have more cavities and more dental problems as well as an increase in other health problems. Price suspected processed foods as the culprit. He traveled to and studied cultures still eating traditional diets, devoid of modern processed foods to. He studied fourteen different cultures and found that there was nearly a complete absence of dental problems. However, within one generation of the introduction of modern foods, usually white flour, sugar, jam, canned foods and the like, these people began to suffer from the same health problems that plagued modern civilization. For more information on Dr. Price’s studies: Weston A Price, DDS. Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, 1945, PricePottenger Nutrition Foundation, San Diego, CA.

Most of our communities today have an overabundance of restaurants which serve processed foods. Many of our supermarkets have their shelves filled to capacity with processed foods. These foods are made with synthetic chemicals for the purpose of improving either taste, appearance, or shelf life. The sacrifice for those so called improvements is the lack of vital nutrients.

Text Box: I just took my youngest daughter to the dentist yesterday to get some work done on her back molar. It was in pretty bad shape and had to have a composite put in it. Thank God that it did not need a root canal. This has been an on going 4 year saga with her teeth that began when she was about 1 and I would find her eating dry wall from a broken place on the wall. I didn’t realize it at the time, but now know that she was not assimilating her minerals and needed support with digestion. I finally put it all together when I noticed a lot of decay on her front teeth and then later on her back molar. I began to heavily support her digestion and gave her everything I could to help rebuild the enamel. As I researched all the reasons for this decay, (commonly recognized as “bottle rot” by the ADA), I learned how the parathyroid helps with calcium assimilation and found hers needing support. We also packed Black Walnut on her front and back teeth and brushed her teeth with a soft toothbrush and a mixture of Sunshine Brite toothpaste, 6 capsules each of Black Walnut and White Oak Bark and 1 Tbsp Colloidal Silver. I have changed her program several times over the last 4 years and have had her on everything from Alfalfa, Bee Pollen, ATC CA, to Super Algae, KB-C, and our different Calcium at one time or another. I have been diligent to keep her on her program. It has been a lot of work and up until she was 3 1/2, she would have to chew the capsule or I would open them. In the end it has all been worth it, and yes, the herbs do help stop the tooth decay and rebuild enamel. The dentist was really impressed and said that whatever I am doing to keep it up. The dentist said that the decay on the front teeth had been arrested and that if I keep it up there should be no problem with her teeth. Her permanent teeth will come in over the next 24 months and should be fine. Herbs work! LM My husband had teeth pain for a week. It started with one tooth, then moved to four. His gums were very soft and tender and the pain shot into his jaw. We used Una De Gato which is a natural anti-inflammatory and packed Clove oil soaked cotton around his teeth. Worked like a charm. CA My friend said her dentist told her she has the mouth of an 80 year old. Although her teeth and gums are healthy, the bone was deteriorating and her teeth were actually loose. She was starting to have a lot of pain. She emptied a tea bag and put a capsule of White Oak Bark in it and wet the bag enough to dampen everything. Then packed it in between the gum and cheek. She did this at bedtime and left it in all night. Plus she took Calcium. About a month later she went back to the dentist and he told her she had significant bone regeneration. He was amazed. She tells almost everyone that she meets how herbs saved her smile! LL Yesterday, I went to the dentist for a cleaning, it’s been 2 years. About 3 months ago, I started brushing my teeth with a homemade toothpaste that I mix myself. It consists of NSP toothpaste, Colloidal Silver (helps heal gums and fights bacteria that may come my way), Black Walnut Extract (rebuilds enamel), and White Oak Bark (as a natural fluoride). No Plaque. The hygienist was amazed and so was I. It really works. I just had to share, I'm so happy! GG I, unfortunately, did not know much about herbs or how to take care of my body in the past, so I have had a lot of dental work. Anyway, I had a stain on a bridge, and it was on my front tooth. I asked the hygienist how to get rid of it. She suggested baking soda, or salt to brush with, which did not help. Then someone suggested Black Walnut and White Oak Bark, and I brushed with it and the stain went away immediately. I was amazed. Now, I use Black Walnut and White Oak Bark almost every night. Plus, my children all now use it to keep their smile bright. It really does work! AM

Text Box: Bad breath? Most people find that cleansing their colon with herbal combinations like the LBS II stops their bad breath. Other causes are poor digestion, adding Food Enzymes or Proactazyme will help. Diseased teeth and gums can also cause bad breath. Adding Liquid Chlorophyll to the diet will help this. Some people like to chew Papaya Mints after eating to help make their breath sweet. A little bit of the Peppermint Oil makes breath sweet too. Be careful of this because it is so strong that it may take your breath away. Tidbits from Tyler, 2, p23 I had a cold sore come up this week and I used a mixture of Black Ointment with Cellu-Tone and Bergamot essential oils in it. I put some of that mixture on the sore three times and it dried up and also took the burning pain away. I am really impressed. H VS-C has helped many people with cold sores and fever blisters. It is a good thing to take long term to work on the cause. It can also be taken when you get a cold sore. Some people like to use the L-Lysine to get rid of a cold sore. I have rubbed Tei Fu Essential Oil and Tea Tree Oil on the sore to help them heal faster. One of my grandsons used Bergamot Essential Oil directly on his cold sore and it was gone the next day! RL For mouth ulcers I use Oregon Grape and Colloidal Silver. I just swish it around in my mouth. Another thing I make is a spray out of Colloidal Silver, Thyme, and Oregano. I just spritz it into my mouth. The ulcers are usually gone in a day or two. KO Something that works overnight for me on mouth ulcers is squirting CBG directly on the ulcer and holding it in my mouth for a minute, rinse out, and they are gone the next day! DD When I get cancer sores, I open a Sage capsule and apply the powder to the area. It helps to dry it up and shrinks the inflamed tissue. CM I have a friend who is undergoing chemotherapy and developed a hideous case of thrush in her mouth and throat, so severe she could not talk or barely eat. She used Colloidal Silver and held it in her mouth for six minutes, swishing and gargling it, then she swallowed it. After three days the sores were healed. She has more treatments scheduled and is now doing this in advance as a preventative. LG
