Re: extreme gum sensitivity

A package of slippery elm AND a new juicer in the same day...that IS a good day :) (not to mention, FULL of all kinds of possibilities of wonderfully healing taste sensations!).

>>and thought to myself, i am gonna prove those suckers wrong...just wait and see...incurable condition...i think not....they got another thing comin' in september and i can't wait to tell them how i did it! they will probably ban me from the office. lol<<

Oh yeah, that's DEFINITELY the spirit :) What are 'they' likely to say? :::loud smirky sound::: The 'whatever' couldn't have anything to do with it; these things happen...it's "spontaneous remission". Oh yeah....rrrrrrIIIIIght. I've had two or three different docs say that to me over the years (before I ditched 'em all), and I always thought..."well, that was a HECKuvaLOT of effort for you to chalk up to 'spontaneous'!!" GrrrrrrrrRUGGPHFF!

Also, I just answered an email from a 'long lost, but now found again!' friend of mine, and I suggested the following (in addition to the slippery elm):

>>Actually, the greatest 'gum/tooth' healing I've had is the Iodine (we utilize Lugol's solution). After I stopped using fluoridated toothpaste (two years ago), I saw a rapid decline in both my tooth enamel and my gum health. In fact, within several months, my gums receded quickly, I started having plaque build-up, and my teeth were becoming ultra-sensitive and I could see (what seemed like hundreds) tiny black dots (the beginnings of cavities). I now know that was/is because fluoride is an 'antisceptic' (as in, it kills all life, including the bacteria that cause cavities and the ones that help to create plaque/gum disease). I had some very promising results from the Slippery Elm, but I was never fully satisfied. I'm 47, I'm healthier than I've been in decades and I shouldn't have been seeing those types of issues.

It is written that all blood flows through the thyroid every 17 minutes; it is also said that when the thyroid is Iodine sufficient, it becomes (as it always should have been) an integral part of the immune system, as the blood flowing through the Iodine is cleansed of unwelcome 'critters'. Only a few days after I started taking the iodine, I noticed the gaps between my teeth were closing (I eat popcorn while I read almost every night, which was beginning to become something I was going to have to give up). I've been dosing since 2/20/07, and now I rarely have any problem with popcorn hulls/teeth, there's no plaque, and my gums are almost full 'unreceded'. The slippery elm was a great help, but it the iodine that sealed the victory :)

I can't understand why several people have started having tooth sensitivity and/or receding gums since starting the iodine...and it worries/frustrates me that this is happening after they start taking the iodine - that simply makes ZERO sense. I think it may be that many people starting iodine are simply so symptomatic, toxic and in varying stages of dis-ease, that the body prioritizes the healing and places the iodine where it's needed most. And for many issues, teeth/gums would take a back seat...especially when up against things like cells mutating into cancer (or undiagnosed cancer itself), various heart/thyroid issues and some of the harsher female dis-eases. Still, it seems that the blood flow throughout the teeth/gums should be positively impacted by the iodine fairly quickly; there's absolutely nothing I've read on the topic of iodine that would indicate that it would negatively impact oral health. Of course, every body is in it's own stage of healing, and our bodies always know what is the top priority.

Also for consideration...increase circulation in the area :) "They" made that difficult when they started recommending one should only utilize 'soft' toothbrushes (so one didn't damage our 'fragile' gum tissue). Heck fire, ANY tissue deprived of circulation rapidly becomes necrotic :( Once you've achieved (with the slippery elm) a substantial bit of healing, I'd highly recommend a medium/firm toothbrush (if you can find one!), and a good brushing several times weekly with a high heat unit cayenne blend mixed with the oil of your choice/discernment. Then, I would follow that with alternating hot/ice cold water 'swishing' (ending with ice cold) to increase circulation to the area.<<<

And yes, I DO need to get back to work! (argh) I just feel SO much more vital when I'm helping others to heal!
