Vitablosom offers a supplement that is a liquid formulation of Liposomal Vitamin C. It contains 2000mg in a 2 ml volume. It seems like that would be enough volume to swish around the teeth and gums, and could be added to an equal volume of water if more convenient or necessary to soften the taste. Would using this supplement daily be an effective way to get enough topical antiviral activity to counteract viral gum disease significantly?

We are comparing these 3 vitamin C solutions: #1. Vita Pop Korean Vitamin C Powder 2,000mg High Absorption, Zero Sugar, Lemon Flavor, Vitamin D & Biotin is described as needing no water, just open an individual dose pack and take the powder; #2. Dr. Mercola Liquid Liposomal Vitamin C – Antioxidant & Immune Support Supplement – Includes Vitamin E – GMO-Free, Gluten-Free & Soy-Free – Citrus Vanilla Flavor – 450 mL (30 Servings) has 1000 mg per serving; #3. Vitablosom offers a supplement that is a liquid formulation of Liposomal Vitamin C, and it contains 2000mg in a 2 ml volume.

Are fluoride-free whitening toothpastes containing nano hydroxyapatite effective in providing strengthening of enamel and tooth decay prevention, given that tooth enamel is claimed to be 97% hydroxyapatite? Is this approach superior to the commonly used name brand fluoride toothpastes for tooth care?

The makers of Good-Gums toothpaste heavily promote its local delivery of vitamin C as being highly beneficial for gum care. Is that just marketing hype or is it a valid claim?

I found a single published case report of someone with recurrent periodontal disease who was studied and found to have a high Epstein-Barr viral load subgingivally. Antiviral treatment with Valtrex for a period of 10 days reduced the virus to the detection limit and the periodontal disease improved dramatically. The condition was stable when checked a year later and the virus was still barely detectable. [PT Sunde, et al. Patient with severe periodontitis and subgingival Epstein-Barr virus treated with antiviral therapy. J Clin Virol 2008 Jun;42(2):176-8.] Viral screening is not done routinely for patients with chronic gingivitis. Was this a meaningful example of what could be achieved readily with a shift in thinking by periodontists to try an antiviral in patients, especially those with severe chronic gum disease?

As has been conjectured by researchers that pathogenic bacteria from chronic gum disease might find their way to the brain and influence or cause dementia, could chronic viruses from inflamed gums seed virus to cause sites of infection not only in brain, but in other organs and tissues, like the cardiovascular system, kidney, liver, pancreas, thyroid, etc?

You told us in a channeling that in about 80% of periodontal disease cases, the chronic gingivitis is actually caused by a virus, and a search of the literature turned up some scientific support of viral involvement in that disorder. A paper by M. Kazi, et al. (J. Clin. Diag. Res., 2015 Jul, Vol-9(7): DC05-DC08) describes that among 75 patients with periodontitis, 81.33% as a group had detectable HSV-1, HSV-2, Epstein-Barr virus, or cytomegalovirus. Although scientifically, this is only showing an association of virus presence, is this actually reflecting true causation of the illness for those patients?

A viewer asks: “Creator has suggested Good-Gums “would be of great value for general use and avoids the liabilities of commercial toothpaste.” Unfortunately, this company does not ship outside the USA. To what extent would these or other UK available dental powders such as “Earthpowder” (phwisdom.com), “Kingfisher” (kingfishertoothpaste.co.uk), “Lavera: Complete Care Mint” (mypure.co.uk), “Natural Toothpaste Propolis & Myrrh” (wellbeingisland.co.uk), “Natural Toothpaste – Tea Tree” (thecleanmarket.co.uk) likely be safe and similarly beneficial?” What can we tell him?
