The teeth repair project: medical formula toothpaste & herbal calci...

It has been two months since I announced my teeth project and one month since I started using a home made toothpaste (which has been created with the assistance of a few people here on hive) and what I can tell you after experiencing consistent pain in one of my teeth for the last year is that the pain is finally gone!

I had previously been chewing on cloves every time the pain returned and while this did work, sometimes it would take a few days to eliminate the pain completely and (due to the large hole in my wisdom tooth) eating food of any kind was always a challenge. One slip of concentration could easily lead to days of pain. But now I can eat like a normal person again! Really, I am so impressed by this toothpaste I had to share this with you immediately, despite having plenty of other pyramid shaped news to give you.

The best toothpaste you will ever use

While I do still believe the most effective way to clean your teeth is with natural soap, for those of us who desire a perfect set of pearly whites yet still falling short of our goal, there are other things which must be done, the first of which is to start brushing with a magic toothpaste.

Here are the ingredients in quantity order:

Coconut oil (with a spoon of pure water to aid consistency if you don't live in the tropics)
Bicarb
Borax
Neem leaf powder
Turmeric powder
Crushed cloves powder

I suspect it is this final ingredient which has completely eliminated my pain (infections) but I cannot really say for sure.

For the exact quantities I would say it is personal preference, but mine is mostly coconut oil with the bicarb & borax getting a 50/50 mix. You don't need too much neem, turmeric or cloves.

It appears green in the bowl but when you spit it out into a white basin you will see how it is actually more orange in colour from the turmeric, with little flecks of green from the neem.

Here are the children helping me out by putting it all in a jar.

Looks super weird in there right! Not much like the brilliant white tooth pastes humanity has grown so accustomed to.

The coconut oil, borax & bicarb all work to clean & repair the teeth & gums while the turmeric is for whitening. The cloves heal infections and the neem is in there because Hive account@jin-out recommended it and I happen to have it growing near-by! The twigs of the neem plant are used in place of toothbrushes in India, with great effect. But for the purposes of this tea we want that higher concentration of nutrients which is found in the leaves.

The importance of labels

In case you are not aware, the labels we place on our jars are important and should be made with love. Particularly if you have a desire for the contents to be of benefit to your health.

It was Masaru Emoto who first suggested the idea that human consciousness (visually displayed with words on jars) can affect the molecular structure of water and we have come a long way in our understanding since then.

All you really need to know is to make your labels with a strong intention in your heart.

Esteban understood clearly why he was making this one.

And that's it! One jar of magic tooth paste good to go.

The taste was a bit weird at first but now that I am used to it I can't imagine cleaning my teeth with anything else. Sabrina has tried it a few times and commented that her teeth actually felt cleaner than normal. This is likely the borax. Despite loads of published literature on the health benefits of borax I was not able to find it online as a health product, so had to buy it in the end as a metal solder agent from Turkey!

No more fluoride

One other thing I wanted to mention is the bottle of water which now sits in the bathroom at all times. All my life I have rinsed toothpaste out of my mouth with tap water, but no longer do I want that kind of water in my mouth, even if it is just for one moment. The bottle of pure filtered water in the bathroom has been energised by a matrix of baby pyramids. I will tell you more about this in my next post.

Calcium formula tea

I learned about this herbal calcium formula for the first time in this video, presented by Mayim Vega whose website can be found here.

The ingredients (kindly provided by Mayim Vega) are as follows:

6 parts horsetail grass
4 parts comfrey root (not leaves)
3 parts oat straw
1 part lobelia

Please note that a “part” is a measurement of volume, not weight. So if you are using cups for measurement, use 6 cups of horsetail, 4 cups comfrey root, etc.

Mayim cites someone known as Dr. Christopher as her inspiration but notes how he could have improved his formula by replacing comfrey leaves with roots.

Dr. Christopher explains a great many things about his formula in this document, pointing out that calcium can't be used in the body without the presence of silica, which is why we use horsetail & oat straw, both of which are high in silica. The comfrey and lobelia also support the function of the body in assimilating the calcium.

He claims his formula to be useful for the following conditions:

If you are experiencing any of these conditions (is pregnancy a condition?) I strongly suggest hitting the relevant link to learn more while drinking his tea every day.

Re-grow teeth

At the bottom of Dr. Christopher's mentioned article there are a few testimonials, one of which I found particularly interesting:

Tooth Grows Back: My oldest daughter age 13 now, had a dental cavity at age 7 (the only dental cavity among our six children). We had the cavity drilled out and a filling put in by our local dentist. Two years later, the filling came out and a hole was left in her tooth. Nothing more was done about it except the herbal calcium formula that you recommend in your book, School of Natural Healing, made up of: comfrey, horsetail, oat straw, and lobelia. This combination of herbs has been used very consistently by the entire family over the last two years. We have recently discovered that the hole where the filling was is now completely grown over and is absolutely unnoticeable even under close inspection. [NL 1-9]

While I know that children are far more susceptible to such things this is not to say it isn't possible for adults. The simple reality is that we tend as adults to consume a greater variety of toxins and therefore have more work to do when it comes to various health pursuits which are more effective when one has a toxin free body.

What this means for me is that I can re-grow the hole in my tooth!

And so can you.

Even better that horsetail grows in the wild around here (harvested in the Spring) and comfrey I have growing in the garden. Understanding for the first time the true value of comfrey, I dug up some of their roots just the other day as it is now the correct time of year for this.

Comfrey root

Comfrey root is the most powerful ingredient in this tea, made illegal by the FDA some years ago and you will not find it as an ingredient in any sold product for this reason. You must therefore buy (or grow!) it separately and mix the tea yourself.

Like the horsetail, I will be needing a lot of comfrey root over the next few years so I made sure to split up and re-plant all these green bits which are sprouting into life from the root.

I harvested as much as I could from the earth always replanting the green bits and ended up with a decent quantity.

This one looks like a banana it is so big!

It is important to always make your root medicines as small as possible before they dry as after this point they will become very tough and difficult to cut.

There is so much I could tell you about this amazing plant, most of which is contained in this article but in brief it is an old medicinal plant with some incredible potential uses:

The common name “comfrey” is believed to be a corruption of the Latin word confervere meaning “to heal.” It is not known how long comfrey has been in use; however its recorded use dates as far back as the 1st century A.D. The Greek physician Dioscorides began prescribing comfrey tea internally for respiratory and gastrointestinal problems. The early Greeks used comfrey root externally to treat wounds believing that it helped torn flesh to grow together. The Roman naturalist Pliny verified this practice with his observation of boiling comfrey in water produces a sticky paste that is capable of binding chunks of meat together. The paste hardens like plaster. That may be why on ancient battlefields they would often soak a cloth in this tea and wrap it around broken bones. When the cloth dried it became an effective cast.

Did you catch that? Comfrey root is where the plaster cast came from! Only this cast would have been much more effective than our modern version as it naturally aids the reparation of bones & flesh.
