Life without toothpaste......

How much of life do we take for granted? How much trust do we put in others? Governments, medical providers, advertisers, teaching institutions? Think about what you do on a daily basis? What do you eat, drink, put in your body, on your skin, in your hair? What are you putting in your mind, or the minds of your children? Most people don't even give it a second thought. Why do you do the things you do on a daily basis? The answer? My parents used that brand. The TV said it was the best! My Grandparents went to that school? My doctor recommended this medication. No one ever questions why!

Toothpaste was just one of those things that I noticed everyone takes for granted. We are told that it protects and strengthens teeth. Stops cavities, makes your teeth white. Again with a documentary, fluoride was indicated as a source of multiple aliments rather than a cure all. Tap water around the world is increasingly being fluoridated. The history of fluoride is that of an industrial waste product rather than a wonder product, so how did it become such a widely used and accepted product? Money of course.

The dental association says on its own website that it is the action of brushing that cleans and protects the teeth not the toothpaste! So why are their offices filled with fluoride products? Money of course.

So along with ditching the tap water, we ditched the toothpaste. We all have those little OralB electric tooth brushes, and floss each time we brush.

Day 1 - Brushing without the numbing effect of toothpaste, allowed us to feel the true condition of our gums and teeth. We felt our own over zealous brushing for ourselves, our normally numbed up gums felt loose around our teeth and the taste of all that sugar fed bacteria was all too apparent! Our mouths felt infected and our gums inflamed. The true condition of our mouth unmasked for the first time!

Day 3 - The pain of the over brushing and underlying infection went away, contrary to our beliefs, our morning breath that we got with toothpaste use was no longer there! Our teeth felt smoother, cleaner, and our breath after cleaning was fresher. Our toothbrushes, however smelled of mould, this smell had been masked by the toothpaste all these months. It became apparent that the toothpaste had been covering up a multitude of problems. The fluoride coated our teeth and the toothbrushes with a plastic type film, with sealed in the bad bugs, causing disease and decay and nasty smells.

Day 14- I noticed that the top of my two front teeth were now whiter than their bottom, which were almost transparent, they had been transparent for most of my life, despite all the fluoride toothpaste, and even with the additional fluoride tablets that I was prescribed as a child. We were now only drinking Fiji water instead of tap water, which has calcium, magnesium and silica in it. Perhaps this new water was the cause of the whitening? My father back in Northern Ireland, without access to Fiji water, gave up the toothpaste too, to my surprise, he reported that his teeth, even though he is 72 years old, became whiter too! So it is not the type of water, but the lack of plastic coating that is allowing the teeth to absorb the calcium in our diet back into the teeth and strengthening them!

Day 30 - I noticed white stripes running down the middle of my two front teeth and I noticed that my teeth are actually becoming thicker, more solid. This process is also happening with my bones. Fluoride ingested through or drinking water and toothpaste, blocks the absorption of calcium in the body, this free calcium then settles on the organs and in the veins causing pain and havoc around our bodies. Two years ago, I had a scan which revealed calcium on my ovaries. What was it doing there? Now I know! It had no where else to go! Meanwhile my teeth and bone were thinning as I aged, as my body could not absorb the calcium in my diet. Melbourne water is fluoridated! Free roaming calcium is also linked to Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome!

Another reason calcium can't be absorbed? Lack of vitamin D. Where do we get vitamin D? From the sun, right? Where do I live? Australia, where it is hot and sunny, most of the time! What would block the vitamin D, even when I live in Australia, and do go out side on a regular basis! Sunscreen! Guess what else we stopped using 6 months ago! Yup! You guessed it! Sunscreen! No major burns for any of us, just a sensible routine of, puting long sleeves and a hat on if you feel too hot and find shade if it is too sunny! Summer, is officially over, and we all survived without burns! In fact, when we used sunscreen in previous years, we all suffered more burns, which were pretty severe, on more than one occasion! So I recommend using common sense around the sun and not relying on yet another unproven, and possible cancer causing chemical to be placed all over our largest organ, our skin! Sunscreen in the water, is also having a damaging effect on our oceans and is linked to the demise of the Great Barrier Reef!

6 Months - No pain in our teeth or gums, no trips to the dentist. Whiter, smoother and stronger teeth and an over whelming sense of well being. None of us miss toothpaste and our mouth health continues to be improved. My youngest still drinks her Fiji water. We are drinking Reverse Osmosis filtered water, we, the adults have supplemented 5 to 10 mils of Silica to our diet, daily. The middle children have not added extra silica, but are taking the Kids Now Reliv supplement to make sure they are not missing out on nutrients taken out of their drinking water by the filtration machine.

Would you be willing to chuck out the toothpaste? What else is just generational ritualism or the result of clever marketing? Why would they want us using a poisonous chemical twice a day, and drinking 2 litres of the stuff everyday? Fluoride is a neural inhibitor, it suppresses violent tendencies and makes us docile. If you were the self appointed rulers of the planet, with approaching 8 billion people on it, wouldn't you want the mass population to be as docile as Hindu Cows ? It also weakens bones, making them susceptible to breaking and osteoporosis. Double bonus, a docile and weakened general population! Bet you the 1% club don't consume Fluoride o shower in chlorine gas!

My teeth continue to become whiter, as do those of my family. We are due a check up at the dentists soon and will let you know what they say!
