now if you’re doing commercial

toothpaste

in the hopes that it will clean your

teeth

make your breath fresh

you might want to think twice in order

for this to make sense i first need to

explain

what your spit is made out of okay your

saliva you produce a tremendous amount

of saliva every day it’s 1500

milliliters that’s over 51

ounces of saliva

every single day

now what’s in saliva well you have

electrolytes trillions of bacteria you

have an enzyme to help you break down

starches

you have a protein that helps coat

vitamin b12 so that it can pass through

the stomach and get absorbed into the

small intestine there’s mucus in there

to keep everything flowing then you have

sodium bicarbonate that is baking soda

so the glands in your mouth actually

make baking soda to help neutralize the

acids that are occurring in the

fermentation process when you feed

your microbes in your mouth too much

sugar as well as the candida there’s

this byproduct of a certain acid

and that ph is important because if the

acid is too acidic

you’re going to develop cavities in your

saliva there’s actually white blood

cells

there’s all sorts of antibacterial or

specifically anti-pathogenic factors and

it’s important

not to disturb the chemistry of what’s

in that saliva because if it’s too

altered to one way you start getting

inflammation in your gum as gingivitis

or periodontal disease

you start developing cavities you start

getting an overgrowth of yeast

or candida on your tongue

you start developing bad breath chronic

calitosis

and you can even develop biofilms which

are microbial

colonies in slime

and calcium in your tonsils

so i hope now you understand the

importance of the saliva and what it’s

doing

to help clean your mouth and keep your

breath fresh and prevent all these other

diseases that can happen in your mouth

so think about this here you use

commercial toothpaste right what’s in

commercial toothpaste well you have

fluoride which is very harmful to both

good and bad bacteria you also have

triclosan well actually they just banned

it that’s a chemical that acts as an

endocrine disruptor which creates

resistance to certain bacteria and then

they put

sodium lauryl sulfate the same stuff in

your shampoo they put that in your

toothpaste like a lathering or a foaming

type cleaning detergent which what do

you think that does to your friendly

microbes then you have propylene glycol

the same stuff they put in antifreeze

they put that in your toothpaste which

is a solvent which can also contain

something called dioxin which is a

carcinogen in fact sodium lauryl sulfate

can also contain dioxin as well which

like i said is a carcinogen

and on top of everything let’s put some

artificial flavoring in there some

artificial coloring

some parabens which are endocrine

disruptors chemicals that eventually

turn into formaldehyde and in the icing

and the cake let’s put a little

carrageenan in there which creates

inflammation in your gut here you are

thinking you’re doing your mouth some

good by using this commercial toothpaste

when in fact it’s altering the

microbiome and the chemistry of your

saliva

so i want to give you a very simple four

ingredient recipe to make your own

toothpaste which is very inexpensive and

that has absolutely no side effects and

will give you nothing bad or negative

it’ll actually support your healthy

saliva you start off with one teaspoon

of coconut oil okay then you add a half

of a teaspoon of baking soda then you

add a fourth of a teaspoon

of hydrogen peroxide food grade

three percent don’t add 35

then you simply add three drops of one

of those oils okay it could be clove

cinnamon you could also use oregano oil

of course the scent might taste like a

pizza but

i think these other ones are really

really beneficial so this is a slight

modification of another recipe i gave in

this video on how to prevent

plaquing check it out i just put it up

right here
