Coconut Oil Is Now Called a “Miracle” Dental Bacteria Killer

Searching for the right substitute for toothpastes which is also loaded with fluoride, sulfates, and other such bacteria killers? If yes, then scientific research has some great news for you: A natural ingredient can do wonders to your oral health. This natural ingredient is the coconut oil, better known as magical oil that is full of “miracle” powers. What makes it unique is that it is not only useful to fight tooth decay, but is known as a killer that crushes the yeast, candida albicans from your mouth. This yeast is said to be dangerous, and can cause deadly infections.
Though natural health professionals have been suggesting coconut oil since decades, there is enough of research that proves this natural tooth remedy well.
Treatment for Candida Albicans
Conducted in the Athlone Institute of Technology, some researchers from Ireland examined the after-effects of digested and natural coconut oil on some common bacteria strains existing in the mouth. They came up with some amazing findings: The coconut oil could effectively reduce the majority of bacteria strains, and was also proven to be a good source to eliminate candida albicans from the mouth. Since this harmful yeast, candida albicans comes into existence because of the intake of excessive sugar and processed foods, it is crucial to get a solid solution to get rid of this yeast. And yes, the coconut oil is proven to be the right solution to this.
A Remedy for the “Candy Disease”
Also known as the Candida overgrowth, this candy disease or the Candida infection can be related with various symptoms such as chronic tiredness, digestive issues, and frequent yeast infections. Though patients suffering from the candy disease may know about its treatment already, they can also look forward to using coconut oil for the same. Keeping this in consideration, researchers have been highlighting the usefulness of coconut oil as the alternative for medicines related to dental treatments.
In the report, scientists have reported that this natural oil can be one of the best alternatives to chemical dental products that include added fluoride and different sulfate chemicals.
What to Consider When Buying the Best Coconut Oil
Now that you know about the potential contribution of using coconut oil as natural cure to various dental diseases, it is essential to ensure that you have purchased the right coconut oil. You have two choices, i.e. to buy high-quality, 100% organic coconut oil online, or from a reputable local store. Though the choice is yours, you need to make sure that you buy the right one.
Here are some useful tips to get the most from the purchase of coconut oil:
1. Check the labeling of the coconut oil brand. Is it USDA certified? If yes, then this indicates that it is a reliable brand.
2. It should be cold-pressed, unrefined, and 100% organic.
Many people are still not aware of the use of coconut oil as a dental treatment. However, there is still a lot to research on this interesting finding.

Unhealthy teeth and gums linked to chronic disease

by: Jonathan Landsman

disease

According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, "Dental caries (tooth decay) remains the most prevalent chronic disease in both children and adults." In addition, according to the Centers for Disease Control, "One out of every two American adults aged 30 and over has periodontal disease." Clearly, we must stop relying on conventional (ineffective) dental procedures to protect our health.

Gum disease is preventable.
 Periodontal (gum) disease is one of many chronic inflammatory diseases which affect the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss plus many other diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, find out how to take better care of your teeth and gums -- holistically.


Dental amalgams (mercury-based fillings) cause chronic disease

In Feb. 1998, a group of the world's top mercury researchers announced that mercury from amalgam fillings can permanently damage the brain, kidneys and immune system of children. In addition, a large-scale epidemiological study revealed that mercury is linked to digestive disorders, sleep disturbances, concentration problems, memory loss, bleeding gums and many other mouth disorders.

Can mercury cause Alzheimer's disease? Dr. Boyd Haley and a team of scientist exposed rats to levels of mercury vapor diluted to account for the size difference between humans and rats. The rats developed tissue damage "indistinguishable" from that of Alzheimer's disease. By the way, repeating the experiment showed the same results.

On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Mark McClure, D.D.S., talk about the dangers of dental amalgams, root canals, how to deal with temporomandibular joint disorders and sleep apnea plus much more.

5 ways to prevent gum disease

Did you know that poor gum health dramatically increases the risk for heart disease and stroke? In addition, gum disease can make respiratory conditions -- like bronchitis -- worse. Ultimately, when you ignore gum disease -- you increase your risk of cancer.

So, here are some simple steps to take to prevent gum disease.

1. Brush your teeth -- twice a day with natural (non-fluoride) toothpaste. As a great antiseptic, try brushing with a few drops of neem or tea tree oil.

2. Keep your toothbrush clean by soaking it in a capful of hydrogen peroxide, once a week, to kill unwanted bacteria.

3. Rinse your mouth with colloidal silver -- a few times per day -- to kill unfriendly pathogens.

4. Try rinsing your mouth -- for 10 minutes or more -- with baking soda/sea salt mixtures or coconut oil. In fact, "oil pulling" is a great way to kill bacteria and parasites that cause plaque -- plus your teeth will be whiter.

5. Make your own (or buy) high-quality herbal mouthwash. Use herbs like goldenseal, myrrh and calendula -- which have been used for hundreds of years for dental health.

Don't forget. The next NaturalNews Talk Hour will provide valuable information about the benefits of oral health and disease prevention.
