Since I last posted, I've cut out the soda and just recently: candy and pastries.
Those things REALLY did a number on my teeth and gums.
Now my gums feel raw. I recently bought a sonic toothbrush and non-foaming tooth paste. I drink everything through a straw.
I'm doing all that I can to prevent my teeth from falling out.
I've added Cayenne Pepper to my OP'ing (oil pulling). I use ozonated sunflower oil with a pinch of cayenne. I stopped the Iodine, but will be buying more soon.
My teeth weren't that bad when I was using it. Now that I've stopped, old symptoms are creeping up again.
2 days ago, I cut out all meat products. I was vegetarian for a couple of months this year and last year. Fell off the wagon and started binging on meat and dairy (ick). Not anymore. I have been meat-free for nearly 3 days.
My gums are in bad shape. I can't afford another dentist's visit.
