Is that just marketing hype or is it a valid claim?ClosedNicola asked 5 days ago • Healing Modalities22 views0 answers0 votesDoes its vitamin C have any local antiviral benefits?ClosedNicola asked 5 days ago • Healing Modalities24 views0 answers0 votesI 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?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers36 views0 answers0 votesAs 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?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers37 views0 answers0 votesYou 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?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers61 views0 answers0 votesCan gingivitis be due to chronic viral infection? If so, in what percent of cases?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers233 views0 answers0 votesA 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?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Healing Modalities234 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “How feasible is it to mix Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Baking Soda, French Grey Sea Salt, Myrrh, Peppermint, and Cranberry to create a safe and beneficial powder?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Healing Modalities364 views0 answers0 votesIs the Good-Gums toothpaste recommended by the Health Sciences Institute of significant value in helping people improve their gums and tooth health, including those with severe gum disease?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Healing Modalities275 views0 answers1 votesA viewer asks: “Many people, notably children, have fear of dentists. Is it a kind of scanning and knowing of the deep subconscious that the medical procedures they use on us are harmful? Would Creator recommend us to get our teeth cleaned annually by dental hygienists or is this not necessary if we maintain a good dental hygiene and use the proper natural remedies at home? Would it be beneficial to do a webinar about dentistry to demystify the truths about it (truths about mercury fillings being harmful, etc.)?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Disinformation653 views0 answers0 votesA viewer writes: “About 8 years ago, my dentist informed me that I had periodontal disease. It mysteriously went away…The dentist always marvels at my homecare. But I’m not really doing anything that different. I started using salt and baking soda instead of toothpaste. It was a recommendation from Edgar Cayce.” Does this have medicinal and perhaps prophylactic benefit for maintaining healthy teeth and gums?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Healing Modalities566 views0 answers0 votes
