1) stopping the oatmeal. Three days later I noticed more enamel!
2) adding more bone broths to my diet. I actually see a difference, esp with fish bone broth.
3) limiting chocolate, improperly prepared whole grains (which is almost all), sugary foods, nuts, beans, and coffee. I have these foods occasionally but if too much, I notice teeth sensitvity. I also don't eat too much super sweet fruit. most things like berries, granny smith, grapefruit. etc.
4) other foods that have been a helpful part of my diet are grassfed dairy, and pastured eggs and meat.

My toddler who's enamel and teeth has been wearing away since 12 months of age, inspite of breastfeeding - even now still on breastmilk. Then when I was treating my toddler's constipation with fruits and fiber, DH developed enamel hypoplasia, and a pinhole size cavity.
After searching and researching, and some things by chance, I finally put my toddler on the following perfected protocol at around 22 months of age. The improvements can be noticed within a few days. The worn out teeth have not regrown, but for example the smallest of the enamel erosion is completely healed up, and the others shrinking in size.
Protocol that regenerated DH enamel:
Puncture the mk7 from Gold capsule and give 4 drops per day at different times (forget the butter oil - it did nearly nothing for the price, I now use the leftover as base for the mk7).
Make sure of iodine sufficiency (thyroid function important with this supplement).
gluten free diet - suspected celiac
no casein - highly sensitive to casein which severely disturbs digestive tract
Jarrow's Bone Up (based on microcrystaline hyroxyapatite) - open 4 capsules in 2 divided doses (trying to stay near 1000 mgs dietary calcium intake)
Great Lakes collagen hydrolysate - around 2 tablespoon daily
optional?:
hemp milk for base drink with coconut oil - great amino acid profile and healing seed
Squigle Tooth Builder Sensitive Toothpaste
on fermented cod liver oil since before tooth problems - it did not prevent the problems at all (maybe you can replace with fish oil vitamin a and vitamin d, which are a must)

Eliminate Glycerin, Black Walnut Tincture
Since I went to the dentist to have my abscessed tooth removed three months ago, she found 4 or 5 cavities plus gum disease. This is very disturbing since I have been very good about flossing. Particularly careful since I was walking around for a while with a broken tooth in my mouth. I found it strange that I was doing all that I was supposed to do but my mouth was worse instead of better.
Since then of course I have been researching teeth. Several sources said that commercial toothpaste is bad because it has glycerin in it. Glycerin leaves a film on your teeth. This film prevents "remineralization" of the teeth. I never heard of such a thing. Apparently the saliva is full of minerals and will deposit those minerals in the microscopic holes and pits in the surface of the teeth caused by sugar or whatever. This remineralization is a normal process that prevents the holes from becoming bigger and then becoming cavities. It did not surprize me that the body had a way of fixing teeth if allowed to do so.
SO, with that being said, I stopped using toothpaste and started using baking soda to brush and H2O2 to rinse. I can report to you that one of the cavities is completely GONE. It was in a tooth next to the one that was removed so I could see it in the mirror. GONE. Looked at the tooth just today. The others may be healing as well but I can't see them. They are on the top.
This is one of those things they blame on "age". In fact they said that to me at the dentist's office. Since they couldn't blame smoking or lack of oral hygiene. You do all the "right" things but your condition is WORSE. To that I say Bull____. It has nothing to do with age. The system is in place for teeth to repair themselves but the "right" things get in the way of the process. Then you get to spend money at the dentist.
To be fair, I want to also report that I read the comments on Black Walnut tincture for tooth decay. I have been using it twice a day. Two droppers full in a small amount of water enough to swish and then swallow. This could well be what turned the tide for me in addition to the good oral hygiene noted above. I will continue the Black Walnut.
This is one of my victories that came straight from the EarthClinic members.
As a side note, I told my son yesterday how I used commercial toothpaste to clean the tarnish off my rings. He said if it can clean metal he might not want it in his mouth. Smart boy.
Thanks to those who write in here and share their knowledge.

- Oil pulling - this is the most effective teeth whitening solution I've found, and it does absolutely no damage to the enamel of your teeth. I swish with a tablespoonful of unrefined sesame oil every morning. I saw results just after 2 days!
- Silica-based toothpaste - Who says you need to use industrial, SLS-based toothpastes to get white teeth? Natural toothpastes that contain silica are powerful teeth whiteners.
- 3% hydrogen peroxide and sea salt rinse - After oil pulling and brushing, I mix a solution of 1/2 or less HP with 1/2 or more water, and then add a pinch of sea salt. Rinse for about 2 or 3 minutes, then spit.
- Flossing - an absolute essential to get the stains out from in between your teeth, and for gum health. While everyone should strive for daily flossing, even 2-3 times a week would be beneficial.
Hope this helps! Stay healthy and beautiful :)

In other words, we're all deficient. So yes, the person you're replying to was talking about boron, even if they weren't aware of it, beause Borax is one of the only sources of boron left for the average Joe who doesn't want to fork out hundreds on boron supplements when the stuff should be dirt (pun not intended) cheap.
There are formulas you can find on this site on how to properly dilute borax for consumption to restore a boron deficiency. I did a month or so of daily 5mg boron via borax. I feel great now, but I made a lot of changes during that time so I can't attribute anything to boron. But damn, do I ever feel great.

Sea salt is excellent for brushing your teeth with (I put some in a little water to dissolve it). Sea salt will kill the bacteria that causes decay. I then use some Bicarb soda in a little water and brush with it. Sea salt has trace minerals in it which is good for the teeth. I also swish around with sea salt in the mouth.

I am sorry to take so long to respond. I have been out of town for almost two weeks with very little internet access until now.
My family has used black walnut tincture and we have used capsules. We did heal a child's cavity with the tincture (diluted and swished in the mouth before swallowing.)
I believe that I have read that taking it as a tea or in capsules can help, though perhaps the effect is not as strong. I will check the reference when I return home and let you know.
If you are not dealing with a tooth issue that needs immediate attention, perhaps you could use the powder for now and in the summer, make your own black walnut tincture. (If you can find someone with a black walnut tree.) I was able to make a half a gallon of it last summer for the price of the vodka I used to tincture it. I appreciate the cost issue!

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I have been out of town an unusual amount the last 6 weeks!
I made my black walnut tincture by putting as many freshly fallen black walnuts (still in the green hulls) as will fit into a gallon glass jar and covered it with vodka. I strained out the walnuts after 6 weeks. (Keep in a dark place.) This is how a friend makes hers. Rachel Weaver says it is better to use the walnuts to make a tincture after the husks have turned black.
Rachel Weaver has a whole chapter on using black walnut in her book, "Be Your Own Doctor." She has found a tea made with black walnut powder to work as well for teeth (and drunk) as swishing the tincture in a little water.
Regarding using Black Walnut while breastfeeding...I found no contraindications in Rachel Weaver's book or in Philip Fritchy's book. (Two of my favorite herbalists.) Neither seemed to consider it contraindicated in pregnancy. One website said not to use it for purging/cleansing in pregnancy. Other lists of herbs contraindicated in pregnancy do not include it. I have used black walnut internally while breastfeeding, with no noticed ill effect on me or my baby.
Let us know how it works out for your family!

You have certainly done your homework and are doing so many good things for your teeth! Wow!
When we swish and swallow the black walnut we use one dropperful of the tincture in a tablespoon or two of water. (I think about 20 drops?)
The teeth grinding is really hard on the teeth (I have been there and literally ground through several night guards and had to have surgery to repair a jaw joint that was ruined by the time I was 26! ) Magnesium seems to really help that for me (didn't know about that 20 years ago), but you are already taking magnesium. I wonder if it would help if you took it at bedtime, if you don't already? I notice my jaw is sore even now if I don't take magnesium at bedtime.
I am not sure if you would need extra calcium either...
You could also try something like chamomile/oatstraw infusion. If you prepared it in the morning and drank it at bedtime it might help with the teeth grinding. (And oatstraw would provide calcium.)
Here is how I make infusions:
1 T. chamomile dry herb
1 T. oatstraw dry herb
Put into a glass jar
Pour 1 cup hot water over the dry herbs. Let sit all day. Strain in the evening and drink at bedtime. This may reduce the teeth grinding and would also supply a bit more calcium in an form that would be easily assimilated with other minerals in a natural combination.
Keep us posted on your progress!

The whole black walnuts with the green outer fruit would not be available for sale. You may be able to find someone locally who would have some; this is the time of year they fall from the trees.

What you are doing for your teeth sounds good.
Have you tried oil pulling? (I would use organic sesame oil for the mouth issues.)
You might also try a cod liver oil supplement, internally.
Also, internally, use high quality foods from a variety of food groups. Avoid refined foods and sugars. Avoid soda pop.
Do try the black walnut tincture added to water and swished in the mouth and swallowed.
I made my husband a tooth powder with 1/2 black walnut powder and 1/2 baking soda (or maybe I used diatomaceous earth and not baking soda?). He used it twice a day to brush his sensitive teeth and it helped him pretty quickly. A pinch of clove powder in the mix will also help with pain.

It's theorised that the Silica combines with Carbon to form Calcium. Magnesium with Oxygen to form Calcium etc. The website healingteethnaturally DOT com discusses these aspects.
Cows produce plenty Calcium (in milk) for their calves yet they DON'T EAT A CALCIUM RICH DIAT. But they (should...) eat lot's of grass/hay/lucerne, which is high in Magnesium {part of green Chlorophyll} and Silica.
Dietary Changes, Horsetail, Silica
★★★★★
These are the two things I've researched online.
Method 1: Obtain more silica in your diet by consuming a particular species of Horsetail. The Latin name is Equisetumhyemale. It is an upright, non branching species of horsetail that kind of looks like skinny dark green bamboo. All aerial parts of the plant are edible. You do not want the species that has small branchings at each joint because that species is mildly toxic. You want to eat horsetail because has the most silica of any edible plant in the natural world.
Horsetail powder can be purchased at organic grocery stores (like Mothers) or online. Horsetail plants can be purchased at most plant nurseries. If you can't afford either, check to see if some of your neighbors or parks have horsetail plants growing in their front yards as they are a common decorative plant (but please, no stealing).
Method 2: Obtain more nutrition. Remember that indigenous tribes eating indigenous foods have had nearly always perfect teeth and almost supper human health by modern American standards, and that their health declined substantially when they start eating a more Western diet. (There are a lot of Native Americans alive today who have horrible teeth who had ancestors who had beautiful, cavity free teeth. The Native Americans who live on reservations who are sent food from the government that is based on the food pyramid tend to have all the same problems as the rest ofAmerica, such as obesity and terrible teeth)
What you need to do is avoid all processed foods, and instead eat nutrient dense foods such as chicken eggs, goose eggs, dandelions, wheat grass juice, and sprouts. Cordyceps and garlic are also good foods to add to your diet. Eggs should appear to have a dark orange yoke, not a yellow one (yellow yoked eggs are practically anemic. Yolk color has nothing to do with breed of chicken). Sometimes the best way to make sure you are getting the absolute best food is to grow it yourself (I had no idea carrots were naturally sweet until I started growing them in my backyard. I have eaten carrots at least once a week for every week of my life and eating a sweet carrot was a complete shock to me when I did so for the first time at the age of 21).

I have been inspired to write today on an issue that has been bothering me quite a bit the last period of time of recent.
I have a tooth pain in my lower jaw and I don't know what is causing it but it has been bothering me on and off for several years. In the past I have made and used clove extract in Alcohol, cloves soaked in Extra Virgin Olive Oil to alleviate the pain.
In the last week I have gradually been noticing that my sleep is being affected, I must not be entering into REM sleep, or perhaps deep Delta wave sleep, I am not certain which), and this dawned on me because I have felt less alert recently during day light hours.
And about 2 nights ago I realized that I had a faint throbbing in my lower jaw and now am certain that it is causing my sleep disruption.
Now, after having read a number of posts here, I had a brain storm which I have tried. First of all I have settled in my mind that I believe that God did not make junk when he made me, two (2) that the teeth can be re-mineralise and three (3) that this problem can be solved using things in my possession already.
So, going on the above stated theories I have done the following:
In a 12 ounce glass canning jar
I added two (2) teaspoons of Azomite which is a clay mined in Utah the has many many trace minerals;
two (2) I added two (2) teaspoons of ground dry turmeric powder;
(3) I added three (3) teaspoons of DMSO and finally I added a few droppers full of extract of turmeric ( made from turmeric powder soaked in alcohol).
And four (4)I filled the rest of the jar with distilled water
"the protocol" I am going to use now:
What I am going to do is take a teaspoon of this multiple times and swish it around in my mouth, and I probably ought to swallow the solution ( there is nothing in it that would cause injury and I already drink DMSO, I eat turmeric, I drink distilled water, and I also consume turmeric extract).
[Azomite is another example of a God made thing that could likely be very beneficial to the health of men and women but is not currently approved; yet, like DMSO, Azomite is fully approved and encouraged for animals. I guess it is up to the man or the woman to decide for themselves whether or not Azomite is a good idea. ]
I have gathered together some information on Azomite for my readers at my site and put a bit of information to get them familiar with this God made dust. (God used dust to make Adam so perhaps he used Azomite and perhaps God was standing in Utah, could explain why the Mormons made their headquarters in Utah, LOL).
http://hebrewofyhwh.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/what-is-azomite-should-it-be-used-for-the-man-obeying-god/

Also I have several dead teeth in my mouth and have been advised to have root canals or to have them pulled, for several years now, by several dentists. As my mouth seems to be stable despite serious gum recession, with all gum issues nevertheless seemingly under control, I have as yet not acceded to this advice. This path is obviously risky, not recommended of course, the fear being that at some point as I grow older (currently I am 70 plus) my immune system may not be able to keep the infection contained as it apparently is doing at the moment. I'm warned that: 'of course it will undoubtedly be a Sunday night of a major holiday weekend when my face blows up with infection out of control."
I have in fact had a few of these blowups and tooth throbbings over the past years that I have brought under control with - UT for the original blowup (upper left), and niacin (1000 mg.) at night for 3 or 4 nights for the throbbing (lower left.) My current dentists are a bit surprised that my xrays seem to show the infections and bone loss under my teeth and in my jaw mostly stable, and in some cases even improving (based on my latest cavitat exam.) We all view my situation as an experiment of one, wherein whichever directionI determine to follow, it is fraught with risk.

When I made mine last summer I just plunked the whole nuts, hulls and all into the jar. They float. I can't remember if I did anything to keep them submerged. You may want to dunk them daily. I don't think with the alcohol they would mold if they were sticking out the top, but dunking them in daily would help.
So excited to hear that black walnut has been helping your son!

The first thing I would try for the loose teeth is oil pulling with a quality sesame oil. That and high quality nutrition.
I think you will have benefit from the black walnut swishing even without swallowing it, thought there is benefit in taking it internally as well, unless it disagrees with you.

Enamel hypoplasia is a defect of the teeth in which the enamel is hard but thin and deficient in amount, caused by defective enamel matrix formation. Usually the condition involves part of the tooth having a pit in it.
Since it is thin it will discolor and have issues, but since there are other teeth that are okay the best bet is to hold off a bit on any surgical intervention to get another opinion by a holistic qualified dentist and regular holistic physician. This will require searching but as my Great-grandfather said-surgery should a last resort and to be to save your life, so if not let us see what can be done first naturally. Please check out Dr Weston Price, Paleo diets, Dr Axe, Dr Mercola and Fred Bisci, all of them are on-line and qualified. What you eat helps establish a good foundation for health, pray and meditation is important and all children should know they are loved by their Creator, it helps, this world has problems but love exists. Please make this fun for your child because there is too much stress with health issues. Food should be your friend and be fun, grow a garden and get acquainted with good organic farmers, it may seem like alot, but in the end it is so worth it and you will wonder why humanity is not doing this since like forever. This needs to be a way of life for all of you and find those who support you. If you do not use raw milk don't start yet, your young child need to ease into this so get a good doctor and nutritionist that knows what they are talking about. We were able to heal our daughters cavity and brighten her florosis condition on her front teeth, in fact the jaw now provides adequate room for all of her teeth. Our older children as teenagers stopped eating so healthy and as a result had less room and more teeth problems. No fluoride in our home either, I now have no cavities despite the erosion I suffered with for years, I am in the process of much recovery and only wish I knew all of this sooner. Keep the faith and don't give up.
Repost if you need to. If your child needs the surgery make sure you have done all that you and your beloved other need to do to the best naturally and possible. Then find good medical providers that are not aggressive but assertive and avoid unnecessary intervention, don't let your kid pay their rent. Best of the best you and yours.

----- to answer your q Ingupo Sun Harvest bottle size was 1ounce & Dr Clark's bottle size was 2 ounces.
My original BW was Sun Harvest from Sprouts here in San Diego. That's the one I got my shiny teeth from the first three days. Went thru 3 bottles of that then went to DR C's BW. I also experimented and tried raw milk with Dr Clark's BW tincture. I made sure I had a glass or two of the raw milk per day and just a little warm water with a dropper full of BW. I didn't take them at the same time. For a test I switched around to raw milk with BW for a week then went back to just BW for a week. Then I just had raw milk for a couple of days without BW. BW & raw milk seemed to work the best taken the same day. After I went thru about 2 bottles of Dr C's BW it seemed to stop working. I wasn't getting any more re-mineralization/ whitening in the dark areas & a tiny dent in my tooth stopped filling in. At about that time I got a little scared because I was loading myself with all kinds of herbs and remedies and wasn't sure so I stopped just about everything. My body functions changed when I went to the restroom. Stools went completely black for weeks so I got scared and stopped everything. I will start up again soon probably with just the Sun Harvest BW then depending on results I may add raw milk. If I get no results then I'll try DR C's BW again. I still want this to work but I got very discouraged a few months back especially with such a good start. I will post again.
I've been on and off brushing and rinsing with Celtic Sea Salt. Also I'm using the Celtic Sea Salt in a nose irrigator too. :)

Herbalist Philip Fritchey, in his book, Practical Herbalism, has a section on Black Walnut. He lists it as having a laxative effect. He also lists it as an herb to use for constipation (because of its laxative effect) but also for diarrhea (because of its astringent effect.)
Rachel Weaver, herbalist, mentions its effectiveness at ridding the body of microbes and parasites in her book, Be your Own Doctor. I wonder if this would be the cause of a change in the stool.
I did once see a naturopath that felt that Black Walnut was hard on the system and did not think one should use it regularly. At the same time, I have never heard of this caution anywhere else.

We have not had trouble with Black Walnut staining teeth. We had a preschooler with a cavity who did the swish and swallow thing for a month or two and had no staining. We put a dropperful into maybe an ounce of water. It did heal the cavity.
I have done the swish and swallow with Black Walnut (again, a dropper in an ounce or so of water) and did not have staining from it. I wasn't very consistent about it.
You may have to experiment for whether or not the swishing is needed for you. I read about a man who found the tea to work the best for him, so no swishing. (But perhaps the tea was contacting the teeth when he drank it.)

The bottle the black Walnut tincture I bought came in does not have a dropper. I have been informed that 10 to 15 drops is equivalent to about 250 to 300mg of black Walnut so I will use about 15-20 drops in 2 tablespoons of water.
Sorry to read that you have also had problems with teeth grinding, good tip about taking some Magnesium before sleep, I will try that and also drink some Chamomile infusion.
I have not heard of Oatstraw so will look into it.
I worked out that I am getting approximately 500mg of Calcium a day from Raw Milk, Gouda cheese, Butter, Nuts and seeds, eggs, Broccoli, Kale and Beef. For a 50 year old man I understand 1000mg is recommended.
I do drink a 1/3 of a cup of Ox tail bone broth a day but from what I have read not much Calcium is extracted.
I may try to top up the Calcium with Osteocare which also contains Vitamin D, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, selenium and Boron.

It does sound like the Black Walnut could be causing your trouble. Perhaps it isn't suitable for someone with the health situation you describe. It is interesting how not everyone handles foods, herbs, medicines the same way. I assume you have taken turmeric for a while? My understanding is that is can be constipating, though we have not seen such in our family.
If you were taking the Black Walnut for tooth remineralization, you could use what you have left just in your mouth. We have put just a dropperful into a cup with a little water and swished for 30 seconds or so. We then swallow, but your could spit it out and still have some benefit to the teeth. Of course, if you were taking it as an anti-parasitic, this wouldn't help.

I have not found anything that would indicate that Black Walnut is contra-indicated during breastfeeding. My favorite sources do not caution against it as they do with some herbs. (Philip Fritchey, Rachel Weaver, Mountain Rose Herbs.)
We have used a natural wormer for our goats that has black walnut in it. It is considered safe for animals which are pregnant and lactating.
Personally, it seems to me that, unless the Black Walnut disagrees with you in some way, it may well be healthy even for the breastfeeding child (through the mom taking it). It is a natural source of iodine, which is often low in American diets. But that is just my opinion.
Rachel Weaver recommends 2 droppersful in some water 4 times a day if you are trying to heal cavities. It you want to continue as you are, at once a day, it may just take longer to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.
As a side note on Black Walnut...Black Walnut is toxic to horses. But I recently read that it is not actually the Black Walnut that is toxic, but some type of mold that can grow on the Black Walnut that is toxic to horses.

Yes, you should be able to use any jar that the black walnuts (still in the hull) will fit into. I have used plastic or metal lids when making tinctures. Usually the tincture isn't in contact with the lid, so I don't worry about which one I use.

Thank-you for your response and time,
I wanted to let you know that I have been coconut oil pulling twice a day before I brush my teeth for the last 7 months since I had a 12 year old root canalled molar extracted and this has whitened my teeth and done wonders for my gum health but they are still receded from many years of incorrect and over brushing.
I now only brush twice a day with a soft bristled brush, interdental brushes and saline mouth rinse after every time I eat or drink anything.
1/2 teaspoon of Xylitol after meals.
Oral pick, floss once a day. 1% Hydrogen Peroxide mouthwash for 20 seconds once a day.
Vit D 5000 IU, Vit K2 MK7 from Natto 100mcg, Cod liver oil 1000mcg with Vit A 2660 IU, 1gram of VIt C 5 times a day with food, 400mg of Epsom salts, MSM, Calc Phos tissue salts, Calc Fluor Homeoplathic remedy, White oak bark in a tea bag placed between gum and cheek 3 nights a week for receded gums.
I also add 2 drops of either Clove or Oregano essential oil to the coconut oil.
Make my own toothpaste with Diatomaceous earth, Bentonite clay and baking soda, Coconut oil just solidifies so I don't add that anymore.
Sometimes I substitute the toothpaste for Xylitol.
Raw Milk and butter, grass fed beef, broccoli, no sugar or grains but I do eat sourdough bread. Homemade Bone broth, Gouda, Brie, soaked nuts and seeds every second day.
I do grind my teeth and some lower teeth are ground down so I wear a mouthguard at night.
I am 50 so like you said it may be harder for me to heal my cavities at this age.
Besides the 1/8 inch circular black caries on the side of the lower rear Molar I have also just noticed in good light that I have a tiny black dot on each of the 3 upper and lower last Molars so I have managed to find some Black Walnut Tincture 25% alcohol which I will dilute in water and swish for 20 seconds twice a day and then swallow the liquid.
How many ML of tincture should I be adding to the water?
I do not supplement with Calcium, not sure if I need to with my diet.

Once my adrenal/digestive issues are resolved (I am ever hopeful! ) and I have more internal and physical energy, I am sure my gums will also heal more quickly and throw off the infection. All we can do is keep trying and I am so grateful for all the advice on this site and to you and others so willing to share your experiences. I am going to look up your link to chaga mushrooms next as they seem to be the 'in' thing for the immune system according to David Wolfe et al. Thanks again for your kindness. Meg

One other person I wanted to bring to your attention since you're interested in health and holistic dentistry is Weston Price. Have you ever heard of him? I learned of him about 3 years ago when I was at a talk by Daniel Vitalis. He started as a dentist and then shifted his attention to nutrition because he saw a direct correlation between it and teeth. You might want to google him to learn what he had to say. I have learned a lot from his wisdom and incorporate much of what he recommends dietarily in addition to my alternative mouth care.
Best to you, Lisa

I used the Black Walnut AFTER the brushing/rinsing routine so that the Black Walnut could be exposed to the teeth as long as possible without being rinsed away. I read the section called "Tooth enamel erosion" listed under ailments here on EC to get started. Many people on this website suggest starting a new protocol with the least amount and building up the dose a little each day to avoid diarrhea and allow your system to make the adjustment to the new substance. Please start off gently to find out what works best for you.
Also want to add that I have added magnesium supplement to my diet. Many sources explain that the American diet has plenty of calcium but is seriously low on magnesium. Calcium is good but it can't do much without magnesium. The two work together. So those with adequate calcium intake are confused as to why they have problems with bones and teeth. It is because calcium cannot be carried into the cells properly without adequate magnesium. Please make a serious assessment of your nutrition and adjust your intake if needed. This will give your teeth and the Black Walnut something to work with to make the repairs. Mary

I have not seen any evidence that it contains an anti-nutrient that reduces potassium. As it contains potassium those on medications that have to have a low potassium diet would usually not be advised to take it. It does work as a diruretic for some and just like any prescribed diuretic it can cause loss of potassium with prolonged use. You are right that it should not be taken on an ongoing basis without breaks.

People who have the conditions you mentioned should always check what they take, but I don't see why everyone with these two conditions can never take this herb. It has long been used to increase blood circulation particuly to the scalp. I also personally know people who have/do use this herb as an herb tea who have heart conditions.
I and others I know have taken this herb with great success, but we have only taken it for varying periods never on a daily basis year in year out. Also mostly as a tea.

It got me thinking that oil pulling with coconut oil would probably work as well because it is also anti bacterial. I am sure a diluted iodine would work as well.
I say this because my son seems to have a small cavity in a tooth. I am going to start brushing his teeth with coconut oil and see how it progresses.

Baking soda is not abrasive, and I use that with Dr. B______s liquid soap. I've found that using the soap in a small squeeze bottle at 50/50 with water keeps the bottle opening from clogging. I haven't had a cavity in many years.
If you want to use boron (that's what is in borax) boil boric acid in distilled water to dissolve the crystals (as for eye wash), but the amount to ingest is very small. You could use that with baking soda, but I think Dr. B______s is the better way to go.
Agreed on the uselessness of commercial toothpaste, you can actually feel that scum in your mouth after brushing. Furthermore, if it has flouride, it displaces iodine in the body, and you are ingesting the flouride even if you don't swallow. Stick to natural.

I have been oil pulling for over three years now and also do urine pulling and keeping urine in mouth at night. I also do urine swishing in between. I have successfully contained one dead tooth and healed two tooth abcesses, once with celtic salt pack and just now with DMSO. I plan on DMSO / water swishing twice a day to keep my mouth well. Gums are receeding but firm and pink. I have all but one teeth yet.
For whitening I use seven drops of MMS for two minutes with four oz water which helps every time. My inspiration came from Paradise Now, online which has valuable information for those that want to keep their teeth. I want to keep it this way and am grateful for all the info on EC that led to it. As a senior, I do not have to go into debt to satisfy the financial demands of the dental community and avoid their lethal poisonings.

I imagine urine pulling is at least as safe as any oil pulling, but amalgams I personally consider more potentially bodily disruptive even than dead teeth or root canals. In my view, (I of course hope I am right and the dental profession is wrong) my immune system may be able to confine the infection and keep it from producing uncontrollable damage.
Amalgam however I see continually feeding disruption into the bodily functions. I believe my own considerable health issues over the past 5 years stem from the break down of one of my amalgam fillings. Afterwards even with the replacement of all (many) amalgam fillings, I suffered what I believe were mercury and other metal complications, some I think from the removals as well. Do not take this step lightly if you decide to have them removed. Even many so called holistic dentists are less than careful or accurate in what they are doing.
Under each mercury filling btw was decay. These fillings, I was disappointed to discover, expand and contract and over the years provide cover for, and hide infection that feeds into the body. My current view is to have any amalgam filling removed if possible. Best to you both.
Promising areas to investigate might be serrapeptase, and also glutathione precursors (also believed to be beneficial for the liver) NAC with R-ALA and Vitamin C.
Best of luck to you both.

I would be cautious about taking more than one dropper full a day if I were breast feeding. I haven't reviewed everything here again but maybe Mama to Many could better advise you. It was she that said a NP thought BW could be hard on your system.

I think I'm too late collecting the BW this year. I can't believe how fast they disappeared. I've not been able to get out much.
I read your post about your father taking niacin for Alzheimer's, so I thought I would mention to you I saw an article about turmeric being found to dissolve the amyloid plaque in the brains of lab animals. I know it has helped my memory and hearing. It has been used in studies and you may find reports at pubmed.gov.
You can have it sprinkled on his food with some ginger without it being taken as another form of medication. I use them both on all my food, even in my oatmeal.
Were you aware of Penzeys Spices? They will ship free for orders of $30 or more. I cannot buy that much at a time but thought you'd like to know. KT

Ionic Toothbrush
★★☆☆☆
I have started using an ionic toothbrush for months. It doesn't remove more plaque as it is said and I don't observe any better cleaning than with a common toothbrush. The bad thing is that it is adviced better not to put tooth paste with ionic and doing that I even had worse results. I now put toothpaste with the ionic toothbrush.

Any ideas?
Also black walnut husk / dmso

I just read about black walnut tincture and ordered it from iHerb.com (Green Black Walnut Hull Tincture) and received the bottle today. I got few questions:
- My son just turned 2 and he has enamel hypoplasia (from birth) in his four upper teeth. Those teeth look quite bad, but other teeth seem to be good (except one of his molars that maybe seems to have white spot=early decay?). He is scheduled to have a surgery in local anaesthesia in about one month. They are going to either extract them or fill them and probably to put crown to his molar.
- Is it possible to repair his teeth with black walnut tincture? Is one month too short time?
- How can he use the product? He can't swish it.
- What about the dosage?
- I read somewhere it can't be used for more than 2 weeks? That it could harm your good gut bacteria / be toxic?
- Are there any side effects with black walnut tincture and the anaesthesia? Should I stop the use long before that? Should I ask the doctor about this? But they are definitely gonna say no about the using it at all...
- What about the alcohol content in tincture (1:0.68)? Can I give that for a little child?
Thank you for your answers!!

I have several cavities that are fairly large that I am currently trying to regrow following your advice. Just trying to find out if there is any hope left for me, or if I should just go get them filled. Thanks so much!

Good food sources of silica include whole grain bread and pasta, oatmeal, brown rice, oat and wheat bran cereals, bananas, mangos, green beans, spinach, and believe it or not, beer. There isn't any recommended daily intake of silica because it hasn't yet been recognized as an essential nutrient.
Good luck, and remember the body knows better how to deal with whole foods plus the added benefits of other nutrients in whole foods in nice. Regards!
