Surgeon General on Oral Health: “Oral health means more than healthy teeth and you cannot be healthy without oral health” – my Awakening

by

Mouth Matters BookLately I’ve been waking up to the very important idea of oral health. The idea that if we wish to stay healthy, we need our oral health, and I mean it to the fullest and mostest. It’s not just brushing teeth, it’s not just flossing, it’s not just oil pulling, it is everything. I know by now that mercury in your mouth spells disaster for the rest of your body, and that cavitations and root canals will bring in another kind of disaster. Now I realize how the old dental profession needs to massively upgrade and turn around to even being more than what current biological dentists now. I thought biological dentists were the be all end all, but there is more… lots more.

I’m currently pursuing longevity studies, what’s a healthy raw paleo dieter to do? Me and a bunch of raw paleo dieters are discussing it in our forum right now. I came across a longevity researcher who claims he had found, met, and talked with a 2800 year old man. And one of that immortal man’s tips was oral health. He made a preparation using oregano that cleansed his teeth / mouth every day. His teeth turned black, but at 2800 years old, who can complain?

Then there was the recent interview on oneradionetwork.com with a new author and independent researcher Carol Vander Stoep, RDH, BSDH. She is the author of the book and website www.mouthmattersbook.com. I don’t have the book yet, but the interview podcast was absolutely an awakening for me. That there is so much we can do about oral health, how important oral health is. Not just about mercury fillings and root canals. I feel it even goes beyond the cure tooth decay recommendations.

I myself have been looking at how to rebuild my cavity carved teeth. I have lots of fillings, and 2 big ones just popped out. So I’ve got these carved out teeth exposed. I’m not going to the dentist to have them filled because I’m waiting for that cure tooth decay to happen, for the tooth to rebuild itself. It’s happened to several people, I want to be one of them.

Sure, I’m eating my raw paleo diet, but maybe I’m eating too much fruit. So lately I’ve cut down on fruit. And I may lack raw vegetables so I’m getting some. I may need more fat. So I’m eating more raw bone marrow and restarted eating fermented cod liver oil with butter oil. I may need more nutritious minerals so I’m buying more oysters and more liver. I’m oil pulling, but maybe not diligent enough. And that there may be other oral health measures I’m missing. Maybe I should try oregano oil in my virgin coconut oil for oil pulling. This evening I tried brushing my teeth with baking soda. Maybe there is more to improve my saliva to help nourish my teeth to heal.

I’m not yet Superman, and I do wish to live to 200. Maybe that goal is too short even, maybe more, much more. As the longevity expert researcher says, it has to do with programming your mind for immortality. But this has to be supported by physical health. And it seems oral health is much much more important than I thought.

Thus I have to form a new regimen for my own oral health. I have to cure, regrow my cavity carved teeth. And reap even further benefits.

I think you should click on over to listen to the interview with Carol Vander Stoep at oneradionetwork.com

You may then go to her official website to buy her book http://www.mouthmattersbook.com/

There’s so much more for me to learn about oral health. The Surgeon General’s Report summarized, “Oral health means more than healthy teeth and you cannot be healthy without oral health.”

Magallanes Beach Resort, Infanta, Quezon – Calm, Crystal Clear, Dark Brown Beach

by

Sunday we drove from Marikina to Infanta via the new mountain road, the Marikina – Infanta road. It’s probably the 6th time I’ve traversed this road and finally this time all the bridges were finished! There were just 2 short hundred meter uncemented road stretches. We used Google Maps on my Ipad and saw Google hadn’t updated their map as the road stopped half way in the electronic map. I’m hoping our driving through the road will allow Google to update their map. The drive was very pleasant. I brought a driver with me, my cousin.Continue Reading

10 Vegan Sources of Protein – May Kill Your Kidneys and Flood you with Estrogen

by

I have major disagreements with an article I found that listed 10 Vegan Sources of Protein.  This is a major recipe for killing people’s kidneys.  I wish they would stop spouting these dreadful vegan protein excuses to not eat animal meat.  Vegan sources of protein are incredibly low in FAT… and being low in FAT or even ABSENT in FAT is a total kidney disaster.  Dialysis centers are a booming business because of many people embracing the low fat diet hysteria.  Vegan protein sources are the epitome of high protein and ultra low fat.  So you may wind up killing your kidneys eating vegan sources of protein.Continue Reading

Cancer is Curable Now Movie Review from a Fellow Cancer Healer

Indoor Pollution Avoidance: Coffee for Wood Stain and Beeswax for Wood Finish on the High Ceiling

by

In 2009, a great flood caused by Typhoon Ondoy ravaged our village and submerged our 1 story home in fine grained mud. As we struggled to get back up on our feet as our loved ones survived, I had to move my office which was in the same village, and we lost a car and all our belongings, we had the house cleaned, but for some reason missed the 6 inch gap between the indoor ceiling and the roof.

This mental lapse came at a cost to our health as the indoor air pollution finally caught up with us as family members were getting sickly. We finally traced illnesses to the mud that got stuck in between the indoor ceiling and the roof… now fine fine dust trickling down to our indoor air.

To survive in that home I resorted to buying an expensive dedicated air cleaner apparatus and a 3m filter in our air conditioner. The children and my wife avoided that house and stayed in the adjacent house instead. We were getting ready to have the house ceiling fixed when our son got into a health disaster which was in the making for many years due to incompatibility with regular cooked food… our resources and attention were diverted. Now that our son is almost well, we point our attention to the ceiling repairs.

The carpentry work has been completed. The carpenters brought down 8 sacks of mud / dust from the ceiling. Wow! That much. That much can make anyone sick.

Now for the finishing. But of course we wanted complete indoor pollution avoidance. We know that oil based wood stains are toxic. And common varnish is toxic. My wife’s nose will definitely notice for months. Unacceptable. I scrounged the internet for non-toxic brands, I went to the local builders store and they had nothing non-toxic. So those commercial non-toxic options are still not available here in Manila? It was to time to make our own.

A few more searches and I came up with using instant coffee for wood stains! Wow. Cheap! And non-toxic. We tried it on a sample wood board, it works!

For the wood finish, the choice was 1 part beeswax and 4 parts olive oil mixed together and heated in the toaster oven. Tested it on the wood board with the coffee stain and yes, it works too!

The finishers will come in tomorrow morning. Here’s hoping in 4 days we can move in back to our now clean breathable home.

Petroleum Nut Herbal Oil / Hanga Herbal Oil / Tagongeret Herbal Oil

by

When I was in the Saturday market of Sagada (Saturday), there was a herbal oil salesman. He was selling: Tagongeret Herbal Oil (brand) also known generically as Hanga Oil or Petroleum Nut Oil. Saying this was a novel herbal preparation from Bicol Province (south of Sagada).

The demonstration was pretty curious. The man had an LPG fueled pan filled with the nuts and the oil. Seems the boiling point of the petroleum nut oil is very low. So low that the man demonstrating the oil application put his hand in the boiling herbal concoction and applies it on the public audience willing to test it on themselves.

and

The price was pretty steep for me P 100 per small bottle. I understand the transport to Sagada was expensive. I bought 5 bottles anyway, he gave me a 100 peso discount.

At that time I had some big weeping insect bites in both my elbows so I tested the petroleum nut herbal oil on those. The immediate reaction was crystalization of the weeping wound there. I didn’t know if that was good or bad. But after a week my arms had healed. Was the petroleum nut oil instrumental in my healing? Or was my body just healing anyway?

The list of alleged answers to several diseases was impressive, I took a picture:

  • Arthritis
  • Wounds, Eczema, Boils
  • Scabies, Tinea
  • Stomach Pain
  • Inflammations and cold spots
  • Asthma, cough, colds
  • fevers and flu
  • heart disease
  • varicose veins, athletes foot
  • stroke, paralysis, insomnia
  • migraine, headache
  • high blood
  • cramps
  • toothache
  • diseases of the skin
  • skin itches

I merely directly translated what I saw on their advertising signboard.  Which continues below.

How to use:

  1. Heat the bottle in water before applying on the part of your body that is sick.
  2. Apply on that part of your body that has pain or has a problem.
  3. It is better when the herbal oil is hot because it is more effective that way, especially for stroke and paralyzed for faster revival of blood vessels.

No chemicals and side effects.  Can be used for children and women who have recently delivered babies.

Contact: +63-912-953-5627 and the seller Joel’s number is 0912-953-5627.

The website on the picture does not work.  I get a 404, does not exist.

I did find some links on the internet that may help you investigate this:

DO NOT DRINK. For external application only.

I am currently experimenting with this oil for myself and my son. If these reported remedies are correct it seems this oil gives good fats, and is anti-fungal, and anti-microbial.

The seller Joel, asked if I was a healer, I said yes. So he gave me his personal number so I can buy from him in bulk at a discount. I posted his number above.

Ipad 2, Android, Google Maps on Road Trip Manila – La Union – Baguio – Sagada

by

We just concluded our road trip from Manila – La Union – Cervantes – Abatan – Sagada, then back Sagada – Baguio – Manila. We had our trusty Toyota Fortuner and a stash of handy gadgets in the car to help us navigate without fail. In 2012 and beyond, there is no excuse for not having an electronic Google Maps capable device ready and handy. And to have uninterrupted battery life on still short batter lifespan devices, we had a power inverter in the car plugged to the car lighter… in the case of the Fortuner, it had a receptacle specifically for additional devices like our power inverter.

We also had a power strip which connected to the power inverter. The power strip had 6 outlets. We could charge all our gadgets while we were driving. I had the power strip under the arch of my legs. We could charge: the Ipad 2, the small Samsung Android with Wifi Transmitter Tethering, the bigger android Dell Streak, and we could charge 2 digital cameras. At first my wife thought I was insane to plug in such a tangled mess, but she saw the benefits of it all.

Last year we used only the small Samsung Android. But now we had an Ipad 2 which is so much bigger which translates to comfort when reading Google Maps. And besides, Ipad 2 Google Maps has neat functions that make map reading a joy. Having a Wifi on board the car made us feel like a provincial bus. Hey it works. Dell Streak had no tethering function, booo.

We brought with us 3 internet 3G providers, Sun, Globe and Smart. My Sun was only in the Huawei dongle for the netbook. The Globe was in the Dell Streak Android, the Smart was in the Samsung Android that provided the internet. Smart came out to be the most reliable with almost continuous coverage until Sagada. Globe was nowhere in Sagada.

Smart cellular internet in Sagada was difficult, but it was the only one available. At Rock Inn, I only got an E connection usually, but at certain times of the day and certain spots I might get a 3G connection. Down town, at some times I can get an H and sometimes 3G and worse it gets to E.

This is the 2nd year we have been depending on Google Maps for our road trips. Saved us lots of time. If there was traffic, we can always do a detour and would know where to go. Such as the Tarlac traffic was impossible, we used the detour coming to La Paz to enter the SCTEX highway. In Baguio City, we always knew where to go, except for the dizzying one way streets.

I used prepaid loads for Smart and Globe, my Sun is part of a cheap plan, but coverage is only in the big cities.

Maybe this would have been more convenient with an iPhone 4S ! But the screen size would still be small even with the fine resolution.

Enjoy your next road trip! Always bring a Google Maps capable device with you, there is absolutely no reason to get lost these days.

You can buy car power inverters in CDR-King.
