Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness ReliefHave you been searching for a way to recover quicker from the pain you feel the day after doing intense exercise?  Grounding your body might be the best, if not the only known solution to recover faster from Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

I’ve searched around to see if any other studies revealed a method of faster recovery from this type of post exercise muscle soreness and couldn’t find anything that’s been proven to help with quicker recovery.  It’s pretty well documented that this type of muscle soreness results from doing very INTENSE workouts; or types of EXERCISE that are UNUSUAL for the person performing them.

The muscle pain can last as long as 96 hours but usually lasts between 24-48 hours after intense training.  Delayed onset muscle soreness, A.K.A. DOMS, is attributed to micro tears in muscle fibers, which create the inflammation and pain associated with condition, according to Dr David J Szymanski.

That’s where Earthing, or Grounding, your body comes to the rescue.  In 2010 the Pilot Study On The Effect Of Grounding On Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness, conducted under Dick Brown, Ph.D., showed grounded subjects had a quicker recovery time from DOMS, than the ungrounded participants.

Paraphrasing from the Earthing book, this was the first time a shorter recovery period from DOMS was ever documented.

A number of measures were taken in this study of 8 healthy male participants to ensure accuracy of the results.  All 8 people were either grounded or sham grounded.

The sham grounded participants were connected to grounding electrodes and slept on Earthing sheets, just like the subjects that were really grounded, but the sham grounding devices had no real connection to the Earth.  Both the subjects and the investigator had no knowledge of who was really grounded.

All of the participants ate identical amounts of the SAME foods during the study, ate at the same times of day, and slept during the same hours.  In addition all markers for analyzing were taken at the same time of day from each participant, and each subject was tested before they performed the exercises designed to produce delayed onset muscle soreness.

The exercise used to produce DOMS in the subjects is referred to as eccentric toe raises.  Each person had to do 2 sets of 20 with a barbell weighing a third of their body weight.  To do the exercise each participant put their toes on a 2 x 4 so their toes were about 2 inches higher than their heels.  Next they raised all the way up on to their toes and held the position for ten seconds before coming down and repeating it.  After 20 repetitions they were given a 2 minute break before repeating the routine again.  Can you see how that exercise could get your calves pretty sore?

At 24, 48 and 72 hours after the exercise the participants were analyzed in a number of ways, which included drawing blood, using magnetic resonance imaging and infrared thermal imaging.

A total of 48 markers were tested and 30 of those markers showed a consistent difference between the subjects that were grounded and those that weren’t, which the researchers noted would have a very LOW probability of happening by chance.

One of the most significant differences between grounded and ungrounded subjects who participated in the study had to do with their white blood cell counts.  In the book Earthing it’s noted, the inflammation response increases the number of white blood cells in the body.

The subjects who were UNGROUNDED had an anticipated INCREASE in their numbers of white blood cells at the time after exercising when DOMS is know to be the most intense.

The subjects who WERE GROUNDED experienced a DECREASE in white blood cell response at the time soreness should be at it’s PEAK.  The difference was 10%, 17%, and 18% in the white blood cell levels at hours 24, 48, and 72 after the intense exercise, between the grounded and ungrounded group.

In addition the GROUNDED subjects reported a consistent LOWER perception of pain at twenty-four, forty-eight, and seventy-two hours after the exercise than the ungrounded participants, and they could also take more pressure from a blood pressure cuff applied to their calves before reporting acute discomfort.

The researchers said the findings were significant enough to WARRANT a larger study.  Although nothing other than Earthing has proven to help with faster recovery from DOMS there are some things other things you can do to help ease the pain of post exercise muscle soreness.

  • Doing some kind of low intensity exercise after high intensity training, either immediately after or in the days after seems to help muscles recover and reduce levels of muscle lactate MORE efficiently than rest.  It is believed this is because low intensity activity helps removes lactic from the muscles as a result of increased blood circulation.
  • At least one study has shown Massage can help relieve some of the pain associated with DOMS.

As noted previously future studies on Earthing and Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness will be conducted, but the evidence from this pilot study has ALREADY made a pretty compelling case for quicker recovery from DOMS.

Will you take your chances with GROUNDING to help you recover you sore muscles?  Please leave any thoughts you have in the comments section below.

Are Earthing Products Safe?

Are Earthing Products Safe?

Shop Earthing.comThe practice of Earthing wasn’t very well known as little as a few years ago, but it’s reputation has been GROWING, and Grounding for Health has become an inspiration for many blog posts and forums on the internet.  This has helped spread the word but it’s also caused a little confusion.

Although Earthing is practiced for health benefits, some people are concerned Earthing might be hazardous to their health.  In this article we are going to address these concerns, and learn about misunderstandings that have contributed to this confusion.

Before going any further, it’s important to state that a growing body of research into the practice of Earthing shows that physically grounding one’s self benefits health on a number of levels.  Click here listen to the Earthing book FREE in audio format and learn more about these health benefits.

In one source that contributes to the confusion the following statement is made.

“Today, the earth’s surface has a higher conductivity then the utility’s overburdened neutral return wire, so now it’s estimated that as much as 70 to 80% of returning current travels back along the earth’s surface in what’s known as the “skin-effect.”” 

Statements like the one above have led some people to believe AC electricity from our homes is directed into the grounding system and also onto the Earth’s surface.  This has made some people believe they could be exposed to this electricity by grounding themselves with an Earthing product or making barefoot contact with the Earth.

This is completely false, and has been explained in Understanding Earthing (Grounding) by James L. Oschman, Ph.D., and Gaetan Chevalier, Ph.D.

To paraphrase what the aforementioned doctors point out “It is against the Electrical Code to connect an electrical system directly to the Earth, and any current resulting from a short in the system must be directed back to the source of the current, not the grounding system.”

So you CAN NOT be electrified by AC electricity through the grounding system or the Earth’s surface.

Even IF an electrical surge were to come through the ground system, you could not be shocked when connected to an Official Earthing device.  All official Earthing cords have a 100,000 ohm resistor installed in them to prevent any unsafe level of current from flowing through them.

Another concern some people have expressed is the idea that Earthing might expose us to Dirty Electricity.  Dirty electricity is described as electrical frequencies that are different from the normal 60 hertz emanating from the wiring of buildings in U.S.

These dirty electrical frequencies, often referred to as transients, are surges in electrical circuits, which often result from the switching on and off of appliances, like heating and air conditioning systems.  They can also originate from the use of other common household items like computer hard drives, hair dryers and vacuum cleaners to name a few.

In our modern world these frequencies are coming from all around us.  The wiring in buildings act like an antennas and radiates these frequencies out into the environment.  In other words you are being exposed to these electrical frequencies without being connected to anything.

The good thing about Earthing is it decreases or eliminates our exposure to these frequencies.  You can do a simple voltmeter test to verify this.  When you connect yourself to the voltmeter you’ll be able to get a reading of the Voltage you’re being exposed to in your environment.  As soon as you expose your bare skin to a grounded Earthing device, or the Earth, that voltage drops down to Zero or the very low millivolt range.  Have a look at the video below to see how to do the voltmeter test.

Below is a direct quote from Understanding Earthing (Grounding).

“A variety of measures of physiological stress show that the person who is grounded is less stressed and more relaxed. Earthing generates a shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic activation, reduction in muscle tension, and increased heart rate variability. Regardless of whether or not Earthing reduces exposure to environmental fields, these studies firmly demonstrate that Earthing does not stress the body; in fact, Earthing reduces every measure of stress we have used in our studies.”

It has also been expressed in the same document that the decreased exposure to electromagnetic frequencies is not the most important benefit of Earthing.  The important benefits result from the free electrons the body receives when it makes contact with the Earth.  To learn more about these benefits you might want to read Reducing Inflammation And The Earthing Connection
and Earthing Benefits You.

In this article we addressed some of the concerns people have about Grounding Themselves.  Hopefully you’ve learned, Not only is Earthing safe, It’s also beneficial!

Your Earthing Shoe Choices

Options For Earthing Shoes

 

Earthing ShoesIf you’re looking for Earthing shoes, you’ve come to the right place.  You’ll find out what your choices are and how they work on this page.

Up until recently, it was relatively easy to find the Official Earthing shoes, which were flip flops, often referred to as Grounders.  As you’re reading this, Grounders are no longer being manufactured, and are no longer available, for the most part.  If there are any left at all you’ll find them at the Longevity Warehouse.

LUCKILY, there are some other companies making Earthing shoes, and you’re about to learn about those.

The New Earthing Shoes

Soft Star Shoes makes SOME shoes that work good as Earthing shoes, and they even have some designs for babies and kids on their site.  Not ALL of their shoes will ground you, so make sure to have a look at the names of the shoes that WILL ground you, listed below.  DON’T order any of the shoes listed below with the GRIPPY Sole.  The GRIPPY Sole is NOT conductive, and shoes with the Grippy Sole WON’T work as Earthing shoes.

The Viley in Navy or Caramel with the LEATHER Sole.
The Dash RunAmoc in Chocolate with the LEATHER Sole.
The Suede Roo in Honey or Chocolate with the LEATHER Sole.

To see all of the Soft Star Shoes that work as Grounding shoes, Click Here, then type Earthing into the Search Bar at the top of their website.

Soft Star Shoes are not technically Earthing shoes, but the styles listed above have leather soles, which become more conductive as you wear them.

It is the MOISTURE created from your feet perspiring that make the leather soles become more conductive.  Minerals in the perspiration from your feet also build up in the leather over time, making the soles even more conductive.

Pluggz is the brand name of the Earthing shoes that LOOK most like the Originals and they have some styles the Originals didn’t come in as well.  UNFORTUNATELY I Can’t recommend PLUGGS at this time, as I don’t have sufficient evidence that they actually work.  I’m NOT saying they DON’T work, but before I endorse them, I want to be SURE they do.

The Flip Flops from Pluggz use the same design as the Original Grounders did.  They have a conductive plug made from carbon and rubber that extends through the the sole of the shoe, and makes contact with your foot on the inside of the shoe and the ground below it.

For men, the Flip Flop style Earthing shoe is the only option available from Pluggz at this time, but women have 2 more options; The Mary Janes and the Gaia Ballet Flats.  Both of these options are made from combinations of suede and leather and have rubber soles that are slip resistant.

The Mary Janes and the Gaia Ballet Flats have the same type of conductive plugs as the Flip Flops have.  The plugs sit under a weight bearing part of your feet to ensure proper contact with them.

==>Click Here To View Or Buy Pluggz Earthing Shoes<==

To be grounded wearing your Pluggz Earthing Shoes, or any other Grounding Shoes, you’ll need to be standing, or walking, on a surface that conducts the Earth’s energy.  Dirt, grass, sand and even concrete are surfaces that you can be grounded on while wearing your Earthing shoes or wearing no shoes.  Asphalt is not conductive and WON’T ground you.

Hopefully Pluggz Earthing Shoes really work and hold up nicely.  If anyone has tested them, please let me know or post in the comments below.

Where Do Free Electrons On the Earth’s surface come from?

Free Electrons And EarthingIn our study of Earthing, we have learned about the FREE Electrons on the surface of the Earth; and that they are BENEFICIAL to OUR health.  We know these Free Electrons are able to Reduce Inflammation and Pain, and help people to SLEEP better, in addition to other CONSIDERABLE benefits.  But what are free electrons exactly; NOT to mention, How does the Earth supply them to us and Why does the Earth’s Surface contain an unlimited supply of them?

As defined by The Free Dictionary, a Free Electron is “any electron that is not attached to an ion, atom, or molecule and is free to move under the influence of an applied electric or magnetic field.”

Our bodies are able to CONDUCT these free electrons because of the high amount of charged IONS in the fluids of our bodies, called ELECTROLYTES.  Some examples of these Electrolytes are Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium.

That was easy enough.  Now we have a BASIC understanding of what a Free Electron is and how the Earth supplies them to us.

A more difficult question to answer regarding the free electrons available from the Earth’s surface is “WHERE does the unlimited supply of these Free Electrons come from?”

==>ACCESS Authentic Clint Ober Earthing Products Here.<==

The answer to this question lies in some understanding of the Global Atmospheric Electrical Circuit (Global Electrical Circuit), and it’s generators.  The MAIN generators of the global electrical circuit are thunderstorms.

At any given moment there are an estimated 1000 to 2000 active thunderstorms around the globe.  These storms contribute about 5000 lightning strikes per minute which give the surface of the Earth it’s negative charge.

The Earth’s surface, being conductive, spreads this charge out around the globe, but that’s not all that’s happening.  The thunderstorms tend to follow the sun which, in combination with other influences, creates a slightly different ground potential on parts of the globe where it’s day as opposed to night.

This flux in the Electrical surface charge of the Earth contributes to a slightly different electrical potential in Humans that sleep grounded; It has a BENEFICIAL affect on hormones in our bodies, including cortisol. You can read more about Earthing and cortisol HERE.

Thunderstorms are considered the Global Generators of the circuit, which keep the electrical charge on the Earth.  It has been estimated it would only take 40 minutes to an hour for the charge to be gone, if all thunderstorm activity ceased.

If Thunderstorms were the only generators of the global electrical circuit, It might be easy to explain how the circuit works, but they’re not.  There are also local generators, which I won’t even attempt to explain here, and 2 other “Main Generators.”  The other big ones are referred to as the Ionospheric Dynamo and The Magnetospheric Dynamo.

The ionosphere is a part of the magnetosphere in our upper atmosphere.  It contains layers of electrically charged particles.  The magnetosphere traps these charged particles in the Earth’s magnetic field and dominates their behavior.

Through a very complex series of INTERCONNECTED Actions and Reactions, The Sun, the Ionosphere, the Magnetosphere, Thunderstorms and the Earth’s surface INFLUENCE each other through their changing electrical CHARGES and corresponding DISCHARGES.

This is a very BASIC summary of the Global Electrical Circuit that maintains the NEGATIVELY charged Earth Surface, and allows us to take advantage of the Health BENEFITING free electrons through contact with it.

In case YOU are a person that likes to get into the very technical details of how things work, I’ve linked to a document at the Earthing Institute HERE that explains this process in SERIOUS depth.  It hurt my brain a little to TRY and comprehend it completely, but it was worth it.

In case you know a lot about this subject and want to contribute YOUR brilliance to this post, I’ve left the comments open for You to spread the enlightenment.

If you are new to the subject of Earthing please investigate this AWESOME health practice through the Posts on this website.  You may also want to ACCESS the Earthing book FREE in Audio Format, HERE, while it’s still available.<==

Earthing On PBS

Earthing On PBS

Shop Earthing.com

Watch the recent PBS Earthing Preview below to learn more about the health technology that’s taking the world by GROUND.

You’ll learn about the growing body of evidence that says simply connecting to the Earth can stabilize your body’s electrical energy, and might even save your life.

Some of the health benefits Earthing enthusiasts are saying reconnecting to the Earth will do for you are nothing short of amazing.

They say Earthing..

REDUCES or prevents inflammation.
REDUCES pain and stress.
SPEEDS recovery time after working out.
HELPS eliminate bedsores.
IMPROVES blood flow.
INCREASES energy.
IMPROVES sleep for most people.

PREVIEW OF EARTHING ON PBS BELOW

The Earth Grounding movement originated with Clint Ober, the retired Cable TV Executive, who wondered what the health implications of being disconnected from the Earth’s energy might be.

As, quoted from the book Earthing, “In the cable industry, you have to ground and shield the entire cable system in every home to prevent extraneous electromagnetic signals and fields from interfering with the transmission carried through the cable.”

It’s no wonder, Clint began to wonder if grounding people might have some serious consequences.  It turns out Clint’s discovery is more than revolutionary.

As revealed in the PBS preview, Since 1998 Clint is responsible for more than 12 studies on how earth grounding affects health.

Because of Clint Ober Earthing has received a patent, as a system to help reduce, and in some cases prevent, inflammation.

Can you imagine what this means for health care?  Think about all of the pills and supplements people take because of inflammation alone, not to mention what people do for the other symptoms or conditions, Earthing seems to be a simple remedy for.

In the PBS segment terms like Electrical Energy and Earth’s Energy are commonplace.  You get the feeling Electrical energy is where the future of medicine is headed.  Sounds good to me.

Roy Walkenhorst and his Wife Judy Brooks of Healing Quest have produced a number of half hour segments on the subject of natural health for PBS.  Roy and his wife have been sleeping on an Earthing sheet, since they started researching this story.

In this PBS segment on Earthing, Roy says he believes the Earthing sheet has helped him to have DEEPER and More REJUVENATING sleep.

The message is simple.  Get reconnected to the Earth.  When we’re connected to the Earth “We we FEEL BETTER because our bodies are electrically stable,” as Clint Ober has eloquently stated.

In addition to sleeping on your choice of Earthing sheets, you can get grounded indoors with a Universal Mat, Body Bands, or an Earthing Throw.

Revealing Study Show Earthing Reduces Blood Viscosity In Humans

{ 0 comments }

Earthing reduces blood viscosity?  So what is blood viscosity and what does reducing it mean for you?

The answer to these questions can be found in a study titled, Earthing (Grounding) The Human Body Reduces Blood Viscosity-A Major Factor In Cardiovascular Disease.

Blood viscosity is about how easy your blood can flow.  Increased blood viscosity is not good.  It means the blood is being acted upon by a force that makes it more difficult for it to move.  

Earthing your body initiates a physiological process that reduces the resistance to flow.  This decreased resistance to flow is decreased blood viscosity and can be very beneficial to your cardiovascular system.

==>Click Here For Instant Free Access To An Audio Of The Earthing Book!<==

In the 2011 Earthing Study on Blood Viscosity, the researchers examined the effects of Earthing on 2 aspects of our physiology.  They wanted to see how it affected zeta potential of red blood cells; and also to what degree it affected the clumping of red blood cells (red blood cell aggregation).

The researchers did controlled tests on the blood taken from people who participated in the study.  They took blood from them immediately before grounding, and again at the end of a 2 hour Earthing session, before disconnecting the subjects from the Ground.

The results were profound.  They revealed Earthing was able to increase zeta potential by an average of 2.70 times.

Red blood cell clumping was also reduced significantly through Earthing.  The researchers determined this by counting the number of red blood cell clusters before and after grounding the subjects.

As a result of Earthing, clusters of red blood cells broke down from larger groups of cells into small groups; or single cells, which were completely separated from the other red blood cells.

It is the increased Zeta potential, attributed to Earthing, that creates the magic.  Increased Zeta potential means increased surface charge, in a very basic way.  This surface charge is repulsive to other cells with the same charge, and it creates space between them; That’s why the red blood cells break apart from each other.

This chain reaction leads to lower resistance to the flow of blood; or lower blood viscosity.  Researchers believe lowering blood viscosity has benefits to your cardiovascular system; and there’s a lot of evidence to support their belief.

There’s also a growing body of research that associates high blood viscosity, with conditions like hypertension and occlusive arterial disease, among other unfavorable physical conditions.

Grounding yourself is an effective means of reducing blood viscosity, and it has no harmful side effects.  It’s probably the most simple thing, with the most benefits, you can add into your life to improve your health.  All you need to do is get barefoot on the Earth to start reaping the benefits.

Do you want to spend more of your time grounded in a convenient way?  You can sleep on an Earthing sheet and maximize your time spent grounded.  Earthing sheets are probably the favorite of the Earthing products, but there’s others you can choose from as well.

Can Everyone Benefit From Earthing?

Shop Earthing.comIs Earthing something that can benefit anyone practicing it?  What if you don’t feel any changes as a result of Earthing yourself?  The answers to these questions and more can be found in this article.

To start with, Earthing is changing things, even if you don’t feel it.  You can read about the benefits of Earthing here, to get an idea of what kinds of changes are taking place.

A patent has even been filed describing Earthing as a method of treating inflammation and autoimmune disease.  Knowing this much, you can be sure there’s something going on when a person grounds themselves.

When you physically ground yourself (Earth yourself) beneficial physiological changes are set in motion; And everyone who grounds themselves experiences these changes.

So the simple answer to the question, Can everyone benefit from Earthing?, is yes.  No matter who you are, when you get in contact with the Earth, your physiology will change; and those changes are good for you.

==>Get Your Official Earthing Sheets Here!<==

Think of Earthing as our natural state.  Before we started wearing rubber soled shoes and living in insulated homes, we were grounded most of the time.

“But what about me?,” You’re wondering. “I have been sleeping on a Earthing sheet and I’m not feeling any different than I was before.”

If you’ve been sleeping on an grounded Earthing sheet and you’re not feeling any different, the first thing you’ll want to do is check the outlet your sheet is plugged into to make sure it’s grounded.

You can do that with the outlet checker you received with your Earthing product; or purchase one at your local hardware store if you don’t have one.

As long as you’ve followed the proper care instructions for your Earthing sheet, it should be working fine.

Once you know your outlet is properly grounded and your Earthing sheet is plugged in to it; and you’ve followed the care instructions, we can better answer the question about why Earthing doesn’t seem to be working for you.

The simple answer here is, some people don’t notice any changes as a result of Earthing themselves.  If you are one of those people, you’re still getting the benefits, but you can’t feel them.

Something you might consider is sleeping ungrounded for a week or so.  The reason I suggest this is, you may be feeling better as a result of Earthing, but the changes have came on slowly and you haven’t noticed them.

Sleeping ungrounded for a week should be enough time to notice what it feels like to sleep ungrounded again.  For myself and my family, we’ve noticed a big difference when we have not slept grounded.

Now we always bring one of our Earthing sheets with us on trips away from home, because we feel so much better when we’re sleeping on one.

For some people that’s the key.  They have to be disconnected from the Earth for a little while to realize they were benefiting from Earthing, but didn’t realize it because the changes came on subtly.

Another thing you might consider is asking someone to rate how much color your face has on a scale of 1-10 before you stop Earthing for a week; and then ask them again at the end of the week before sleeping grounded again.

One of the benefits of Earthing is increased blood flow.  This can result in more color in your face; and sometimes people notice this about you when you’ve been Earthing for awhile.

You can listen to an Earthing testimonial here, and it’s pretty convincing.  This couple was skeptical about trying Earthing for about 2 years, but you can see they are not skeptical anymore.

Hopefully, you’re going to feel the changes Earthing is creating for you; And in a big way.  Even if you don’t feel much, reconnecting to the Earth still has it’s benefits.

The Organic Cotton Earthing Throw Kit

Shop Earthing.comRecently, a new Earthing product has been added to the growing number of products that make it convenient to be grounded.  The Earthing Throw is a half sheet, half blanket that you can cuddle up with around the house; or wherever you decide to keep it.

You might also want sleep with it, if you don’t already have an Earthing sheetIf you decide to sleep on it, make sure the conductive side is facing up, so it’s in contact with your skin.  Lay it across your bed, on top of your fitted sheet and lie on top of it.

One of the nice things about the Earthing throw, besides the important fact that it grounds you when it’s grounded, is in the material.  The conductive side of it is made from 100% organic cushy cotton, with silver threads woven all through it; It contains close to 1/4 mile of silver thread.

You can easily identify the conductive side.  You’ll see the word Earthing on it, and also the rows of silver threads stitched into it.  The non conductive side is a faux suede made from polyester.

This polyester side will not ground you, so make sure your bare skin is in contact with the organic cotton/silver side.

What comes with Your Throw Kit?

  • 1 Organic Cotton, 40 x 65 inch, Earthing Throw.
  • 1 15 Foot Earthing Cord
  • 1 Outlet Checker
  • 1 Complimentary Copy Of The Earthing Book
  • 1 Product User’s Guide

How do you care for your Earthing Throw?

This is important.  The conductive silver threads will last a long time, if you follow the simple care instructions.  Bleach will oxidize silver, destroying it’s conductivity, so be sure you don’t use any bleach or detergent with bleach.

Do not use any kind of fabric softener for washing or drying your throw, as this can also destroy it’s conductivity.

Don’t dry clean your throw, and do not use any lotions or oils on the parts of your skin that will be in contact with it, close to the time you will be using it.  Oils and lotions can create a film on the silver, rendering it less conductive.

SO WHAT ABOUT YOUR TEETH?

CAN YOU REVERSE TOOTH DECAY?  IS FLUORIDE MORE HARMFUL THAN HELPFUL?  READ ON AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF!

BASIC TOOTH CARE, HEALING CAVITIES, AND TO USE FLUORIDE OR NOT

If you are like me you probably grew up thinking their wasn’t much you could do once you developed a cavity.  You could prevent them by brushing regularly, flossing and avoiding a lot of sugars, but if you were one of the unlucky ones with a spot on your teeth you were destined to have a cavity in need of filling.

I was lucky.  My dentist said that I probably had special saliva that protected my teeth, as my brother and sister both had cavities.  I didn’t have any cavities in my baby or adult teeth for all of my life until about one year ago. I noticed a spot on one of my wisdom teeth.  I would feel pain when I ate food sometimes and it was sensitive to cold and heat.  I’ll get back to that cavity.  For now I want to emphasize that I was lucky in the sense, I didn’t always brush my teeth regularly, and went more than a month once, as a kid, and never got a cavity.  In my adult life I have not brushed my teeth regularly all of the time.  I decided to change that habit because of the cavity I now have at 39 years old.

The idea came, I might be able to heal the cavity if I took good care of my teeth and learned more about healing cavities.  Our youngest son had some tooth decay more than a year ago and I had come across some information on the internet about curing cavities.  As far as our son is concerned, he had baby bottle tooth decay, which mainly happens when your baby nurses or uses a bottle, all through the night.  Our little guy was nursing all through the night for a long time.  Something we thought could only be good.  It’s best to brush the teeth after nursing before bed time, and avoid feeding, as much as your willing, through the night, once your child has their upper front teeth in, as that is where the sugars from the milk pull the most.  An alternative could be to clean the teeth in the night with a moistened cloth after nursing, and/or give a bottle after nursing with good water to dilute the sugars.  We couldn’t do anything about our sons original tooth decay, but we were determined to learn all we could, and prevent it from happening any further.  More than 1 year after the decay we visited the dentist and there was no new decay or cavities.  It was a relief to find out further decay had ceased.

During that visit to the dentist one of the hygienists told us that if you had a little discoloration on a tooth you could stop a tooth from getting a cavity by practicing good teeth care.  She also informed us, sodium fluoride could be painted on small areas of teeth and that would make the teeth stronger.  We have had a bias against fluoride because of some information we have learned over time, but decided we would look into fluoride a little further.

Since then the understanding, fluoride has an affinity for calcium and silica and forms strong bonds with them, has been revealed to us.  Silica and Calcium are both part of bone and teeth and the healing of them.  When fluoride is painted on the teeth, it sticks to the teeth because of it’s special affinity for calcium, then it attracts more calcium to the teeth where it has bonded.  The science behind this is good, and because of this reality fluoride can be defended in its use for one purpose only, which is to apply it topically and spit it out.  Don’t get your hopes up to high about fluoride because it has a down side.

The substance it forms on the teeth is called fluorapatite and is said to be harder than the original tooth enamel, which is hydroxyapatite.  Part of the down side, some people believe, is the new material is also more brittle.  In addition to this it has been said that fluoride is an enzyme inhibitor, which translates as, it affects your whole body system.  Going further, it makes no sense at all to consume fluoride, and it’s probably more dangerous than originally thought.

If you have a fluoride toothpaste at your home, read the warning on it that states if you swallow more than a pea size amount to call a poison control center.  If you had fluoride treatments on your teeth as a child, remember being told not to swallow it, because it was poison.  The ADA is now advising not to use tap water, or any other water with fluoride in it, for your baby formula because it may cause brain damage and fluorosis.  Fluorosis is a known result of fluoride ingestion.  Minor fluorosis will appear as white streaks on your teeth and severe fluorosis can create many yellow and dark brown spots all over your teeth.

Beyond fluorosis you can imagine the effect that it must have on your bones not to mention every other tissue of your body because of it’s highly reactive nature.  More recently some evidence has surfaced about fluoride calcifying your pineal gland.  Your pineal gland produces melatonin and dimethyltryptamine, and in some spiritual practices, is referred to as the seat of your soul or third eye.  The spiritual relation is more than likely related to, dimethyltryptamine, which is a natural hallucinogenic, believed to effect dream states.  Whether or not you think of it in this way is not as important as the fact, the pineal gland plays an important role in your endocrine system, including melatonin monitoring circadian rhythms and the sleep wake cycle.

William Marcus experimented with fluoride on rats and attributed it to causing bone and liver cancer.  Dr.  Phyllis Mullenix said that it caused neurotoxicity and basically made kids less intelligent.  She was fired for revealing this information.  There is a dark side of fluoride which has been buried as much as possible.  In his book, Christopher Bryson reveals how fluoride was discovered to have severe harmful effect on employees who worked with it.  After these discoveries were made, Harold Hodges was in charge of educating the public about the safety of fluoride at one part per million in water, and from there it was pushed on the public through the water supply.  It is believed by some, this was a direct cover up of the real dangers of fluoride known at the time, the thinking being, “It can’t be viewed as bad if it’s advertised as being safe enough to put in the water.”  Harold Hodges, who claimed it was safe to ingest fluoride, happens to be the same person who was the Chief Toxicologist of the Manhatten Project.  During the project, Harold Hodges was the head of experiments done on humans, which involved injecting them with plutonium.  This is the person who disseminated the information of the safety of fluoride.  It is also worth mentioning, it was once advertised to the public, lead was perfectly safe as well.

The following is a direct quote from wikipedia.  “Hexafluorosilicic acid releases hydrogen fluoride when evaporated, so it has similar risks.  It is corrosive and may cause fluoride poisoning; inhalation of the vapors may cause lung edema.  Like hydrogen fluoride, it attacks glass and stoneware.”  The form of fluoride referred to above, hexafluorosilicic acid, happens to be the most common fluoride form added to municipal water supplies.  It is dangerous and a toxic byproduct of the phosphorus industry.  We are only scratching the surface on this issue.

The fact is, there is almost no difference in tooth decay among people living in fluoridated areas versus non fluoridated areas.  In 1986 a survey was conducted in the United States by pro fluoridation researchers that worked for the National Institute of Dental Research.  39,000 children in 84 communities were looked at.  What they found may be shocking for the reader.  Between fluoridated communities and non fluoridated communities there was a difference of 6/10 of a tooth surface being saved in the communities that had fluoridated water supplies; There are about 5 tooth surfaces to each tooth. There are approximately 120 surfaces to all of the teeth together, so this means about .5% difference in the amount of the teeth being saved from decay.  In case it needs to be stated again, we’re talking about a very small percentage of one tooth being saved from decay from drinking fluoridated tap water.

Summing up fluoride, the evidence seems pretty clear, fluoride is NOT for drinking or ingesting in anyway.  That being said, if a person feels fluoride might benefit them, the only way it might be safe, would be to have sodium fluoride painted on your teeth and rinsed thoroughly shortly after.  We decided not to use fluoride on our son’s teeth and he has no new decay, as mentioned earlier.  Now, let’s get into what is good for your teeth.

The first thing you need to know is your teeth are constantly demineralizing and remineralizing.  This is happening more or less, one way or the other, depending on the environment of your mouth.  If you have alkalizing saliva and are keeping bad bacteria at bay, favorable conditions for remineralizing can be aquired.

Something you might not know, but should be aware of is almost every kind of toothpaste has glycerin in it.  Glycerin leaves a coating on your teeth that keeps them from being able to properly remineralize.  You can use a product called “toothsoap” to remove the glycerin.  This soap replaces your toothpaste and leaves your mouth feeling much better.  In addition it rids your teeth of glycerin, kills bacteria and creates a more favorable condition for your teeth to remineralize.  You can learn more about toothsoap by clicking here!

The toothsoap will be the first step.  Let’s get into what else you can do.  To start with you are going to want to brush once in the morning and once before you go to bed, sometime after your last meal.

Use a soft bristle brush and brush gently from the gums downward.

Do not brush right after meals, especially after citrus.  Citrus fruit acids can cause more tooth enamel loss, if you brush right after eating them.(continue to eat fruits, just read the next step and follow the directions)

After eating, cause your salivary gland to produce more saliva, and circulate it through your mouth and teeth for awhile.  This helps to breakdown food further and gets your saliva back to conditions for remineralization.

I like to rinse my drinking water through my teeth after the proceeding step and swallow to make sure I’ve removed more food from my teeth.

After brushing, you can rinse your mouth out with a good sea salt.  This will further reduce bacteria and increase alkalinity.

Remember to floss at least once per day.

It is suggested by some people, using baking soda once per week can help to reduce tartar.

For whitening you can use a food based hydrogen peroxide, not more than once per month.

After cleaning your teeth with toothsoap or something else which achieves the same results for 1 month or more, it might be a good idea to visit the dentist and have them help you remove any plaque still on your teeth.  After the dentist visit you should be able to keep your teeth up, on your own pretty well.(This doesn’t mean you should never see a dentist again, only next time you might enjoy the visit more.)

In addition to the previous practices you can do some other things to assist your body in remineralizing your teeth.  An alkalizing diet can be achieved by adding more greens into your diet.  Vegetables, in general, are alkalizing, so get them into your eating regime if they aren’t already. Vitamins C, D and A, and the minerals, silica, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and MSM are also important nutrient materials for healthy teeth and gums.

We’ve covered some of the essentials for keeping your teeth healthy.  Their are other practices that can even assist you further.  Check out the Toothsoap website and the references below for furthering your knowledge.
