Hydroxyapatite
Hydroxyapatite is a form of calcium in our bones when used in toothpaste helps remineralize & rebuild enamel, reverse cavities, & stop dentine hypersensitivity. Around the world it is often used in place of brain damaging flouride.

Flouride
Flouride lowers learning & memory in 32 of 34 animal studies and lowers IQ in 43 of 50 human studies. Some studies have found a drop in IQ at levels lower than 1mg/L.
Flouride should be completely avoided in toothpaste, where it is highly concentrated and used in
the mouth where the tongue & gums absorb drugs & chemicals easily. Flouride should be
banned as a drinking water additive, also because the form that is added is highly toxic and
contaminated. Too much flouride can cause dental & skeletal flourosis, which can be painful &
disabling.

Flouride research:
Brain damage
“Over 100 animal studies showing that prolonged exposure to varying levels of fluoride can
damage the brain, particularly when coupled with an iodine deficiency, or aluminum excess;
43 human studies linking moderately high fluoride exposures with reduced intelligence;
32 animal studies reporting that mice or rats ingesting fluoride have an impaired capacity to
learn and/or remember;
12 studies (7 human, 5 animal) linking fluoride with neurobehavioral deficits (e.g., impaired
visual-spatial organization);
3 human studies linking fluoride exposure with impaired fetal brain development.”
Flouride added to public water supplies appears to significantly increase ADHD &
hypothyroidism.
The National Research Council in 2006, the EPA in 2007, and a Team of Harvard researchers in
2012 all have come to the conclusion that flouride is a neurotoxin and reduces mental function.

Flouride in drinking water
Tooth decay is the same in countries that don’t flouridate their water (97% of western European
countries) and ones that do. Flouride in water doesn’t help prevent cavities at all, and flouride in
toothpaste is in highly concentrated form that is considered dangerously toxic if swallowed in
even small amounts and is absorbed easily under our toungue & through our gums. Baking
soda is very effective in cleaning the teeth, and flouride free toothpastes use baking soda,
neem, and other anticavity substances which aren’t neurotoxins.
Three types of water filters can lower flouride: reverse osmosis, deionizers (which use
ion-exchange resins), and activated alumina.

Mercury
Mercury fillings are toxic and poison the dental workers who deal with them. They release
mercury vapor during chewing that gets breathed in by the lungs and poison the body.
http://www.toxicteeth.org/mercuryfillings.aspx
A single amalgam filling may release as much as 15 micrograms of mercury per day, and
according to some estimates, 10 micrograms per day is average.
Inorganic mercury attacks the kidneys & gastrointestinal system, methylmercury can be
converted in the body from inorganic mercury, causes central nervous system (CNS) damage,
organic mercury is in fish & thimersol in flu & other vaccines (just in amounts lower than
currently required for listing) damaging the peripheral & CNS.
Organic mercury often in predator fish & thimerisol in vaccines. It harms peripheral nervous
system & central nervous system (CNS).
Elemental mercury comes from fossil fuel emissions, mercury thermometers, flourescent lights,
dental amalgams and damages the lungs, skin, PNS & CNS. It can cause insomnia, memory
loss, fatigue, irritability, excessive dreaming, and weakness, delirium, hallucination, & seizures.
Mercury fillings are completely unnecessary, and require removal of a lot of tooth to put in and
often cause the tooth to crack with its expansion & contraction. The alternatives are a lot
healthier & cause less tooth damage. They only reason they are still used since both the FDA &
47 countries have called for an end to their implantation is because they are faster to put in.
They cause so much tooth damage the tooth breaks more often than with the other composits,
requiring further & more extensive and expensive dental work.
When getting the mercury amalgams removed make sure your dentist is:
Providing you with an alternative air source and instructing you not to breath through your
mouth
Using a cold-water spray to minimize mercury vapors
Putting a rubber dam in your mouth so you don’t swallow or inhale any toxins
Using a high-volume evacuator near the tooth at all times to evacuate the mercury vapor
Washing your mouth out immediately after the fillings have been removed (the dentist should
also change gloves after the removal)
Immediately cleaning your protective wear and face once the fillings are removed
Using room air purifiers

(Reclast & Zometa), etidronic acid (Didronel), ibandronic acid (Boniva), pamidronate disodium
(Aredia).
Biophosphonates prevent an important part of bone building, so bones become denser but not
stronger. They can cause the jawbone to dissolve and increase thighbone fractures, as can
happen with injected Prolia. They appear to nearly double the risk of cancer of the esophagus,
cause serious eye inflammation and possible blindness, liver damage, atrial fibrillation,
increased risk of ulcers, esophageal cancer, renal failure, skin reactions, and hypocalcemia
(blood calcium levels are too low).
Denosumab (Prolia) may also cause serious skin infections ear, urinary tract and heart infection,
back pain and pain in the muscles and bones, and elevated cholesterol levels as well as cause
disintegration of the jaw and increase thighbone fractures.

Calcium supplementation (especially in milk)
Taking calcium supplements (especially in milk) instead of getting it in food like dark leafy
greens appears to cause brain lesions, strokes, and heart disease and heart attack deaths.
Advertising to the contrary aside, dairy is the most acidic food commonly ingested and prompts
the body to release calcium into the blood in order to balance it’s PH. Supplemental calcium not
only appears to cause brain lesions, strokes, kidney stones & heart deaths but does not appear
to reduce osteoporosis as documented in multiple studies. Only calcium from foods (only
500mg at most appears to be needed) appears to do that, likely because food supplied calcium
often comes with other elements essential for calcium absorption & bone building: dark leafy
greens have calcium, magnesium & zinc, all essential; and natto (fermented soy) has calcium,
magnesium, zinc and vitamin K2- essential for bone building.
Soaking beans & rice before cooking and cooking all foods with a pressure cooker helps
prevent phytic acid from reducing calcium absorption from foods. Pressure cooking also stops
lectins and retains 90% of vitamins (slow cooking retains only 40%) as long as the liquid is
reused.
Soft drinks can have phosphorus which decreases calcium absorption as well. PPIs & H2
blockers used for reflux/GERD appear to decrease calcium (& increase mortality & a host of
diseases).

Milk
Milk is one of the worst sources of calcium because it’s high acidity and possibly galactose
sugars increase bone fractures and mortality. In the largest & longest study on milk and
osteoporosis, over 100,000 people followed for over 20 years found the more milk drank, the
more frequent bone fractures and the earlier people died.

Acidity and osteoporosis
Far more important than calcium, as long as we get 350mg a day, is how acidic the protein of
the food we eat & how much. The higher the acidity of the food we eat, the greater the acidity of
the blood. Our bodies then leach calcium from the bones to balance the ph (make it less acid).
That calcium then gets excreted.
This explains why African Bantu women living on 350mg a day who bear an average of nine
children & breastfeed them for two years each have no calcium deficiencies, & nearly no bone
fractures or tooth loss. They eat a low amount of protein. This also explains why Eskimos eat
the most protein calcium on the planet from fish bones, 2000mg a day, but have the highest
rates of osteoporosis in the world. They eat the most protein in the world- 250-400 grams a day
from animal sources, highly acidic. Eating more than 75 grams a day increases the risk of
osteoporosis.
Meat eaters have more than double the osteoporosis of vegetarians, who still consume milk &
fish. Vegans have the lowest rate of osteoporosis, who don’t eat meat, fish, or drink milk.

Summary
We can eat alkaline foods, especially those with the greatest alkalinity. We can avoid acidic
foods, especially those with the greatest acidity. We can get calcium from leafy greens like kale,
avoid calcium from milk. Even the greatest calcium supplementation can’t make up for eating
too much highly acidic protein.

Milk and obesity, cancer, and diabetes
Cows in the USA are allowed to get recombinant growth hormone, which produces milk with
higher insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) that can increase cancer, diabetes, and obesity. It also
stimulates an increase in our own body’s IGF-1 levels. Cow’s milk is also intended to turn a
small calf into a 300+ lb cow, even without the growth hormone & IGF-1. Cow’s milk can trigger
an allergic reaction, and because the chemical trigger is similar to cells that regulate our
immune system, their death can cause a chain reaction that kills our insulin producing cells and
trigger type 1 diabetes.

Root canals
The biggest hidden killer in dentistry are root canals & pulling a tooth without pulling the ligament. Both leave dead, rotting tissue that fills the brain & body with infection. The periodontal bacteria are found in large amount in the brains of people who die of early onset Alzheimer’s, many cancers (like pancreatic), & heart attacks where there were no clogged arteries or emotional event trigger.
The best dentists now use ozone and/or molecular elemental iodine to kill all the tooth & gum infection & red lasers to regrow the tooth to fill in the cavity.
https://www.wrigleyvilledental.com/
Look for dentists who don’t use amalgams (mercury) or flouride (kills neurons, drops IQ by over 10 points).
PS- elemental molecular iodine like Iorinse has made every person I know’s tooth pain to go away for good the first day. We use a bit in our mouth then brush our gums (lightly) then our teeth & it stops the periodontal/gum disease infection as well after a week of usage.

What may help build bones:
Weight bearing exercise
Lifting weights can help build bone better than aerobic exercise. It is always good to start at the
lowest weight setting, even if your muscles could start with much higher weight. It’s not just the
muscles, but the ligaments, tendons, & bones that need to adjust to weightlifting. Starting at
zero/10lbs the first time, then increasing just to the next weight the next time should help
prevent injury. Dynamic stretching also helps, doing a zero weight version of each lift for 10
reps before putting the weight on & doing the full weight lifts.
Stairs
The exercise that predicts longevity the best is how many stairs taken daily on average. It build
muscle and bone right where they body needs it- to protect the hips. Using hand railings
actually helps because it keeps balance & allows people to go up faster & safer. Using a
stepper (right in front of a wall or dresser for balance) right after eating a meal or fruit (when
having the most energy) may help build bone fastest, and many have hand straps for arm
workouts at the same time.

Calcium alone vs in combination
Extra calcium taken without vitamin D3, vitamin K2, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and boron
appears to cause heart attacks and increase mortality. When calcium is taken is high amounts
or without vitamin D3, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin K2, and boron, it goes to &
hardens the arteries & causes early death. Magnesium itself is essential for bone density.
“Around the world the higher the calcium intake the higher the heart disease and death.
Swedish researchers who tracked more than 61,000 women for 19 years found that
calcium-supplement takers who got at least 1,400 milligrams of calcium a day (from food and
calcium supplements) were 2 1/2 times more likely to die than calcium-supplement takers who
got 600 to 1,000 mg a day.”
“German researchers who followed nearly 24,000 men and women for 11 years found that those
who took calcium supplements had roughly double the risk of a heart attack of those who didn’t
take calcium supplements. (However, less than 4 percent of the participants reported taking
calcium, and the study didn’t report how much they took.)”

breakage when taken with calcium, zinc, magnesium (found in leafy greens like kale), and
vitamin K2. Taking 4000-5000 IU of vitamin D3 may also prevent 90% of viral infections, 70% of
cancers, 50% of heart disease and over 90% of Alzheimer’s.
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 appears to help direct calcium away from the arteries & to the bones. Many studies
show that taking calcium supplements without taking vitamin D3 & vitamin K2 concentrates the
calcium in the arteries, where they harden and increase heart attacks and early death. Only
taken with vitamin D3 & vitamin K2 does calcium appear to build bone instead of calcify the
arteries, especially if taken with magnesium, potassium, zinc, & boron as well. Calcium
supplements may be far more dangerous than getting calcium from leafy greens like organic
kale (nonorganic appears to have high herbicide, pesticide, &/or fungicide residue) that also
have the needed magnesium, potassium, and zinc to make bone more flexible and less likely to
break.
Natto, a fermented form of soy, has both calcium and vitamin K2 in the longer lasting MK7 form
(available in supplements like in the Solgar brand as well) that appears to be effective in building
bone, preventing tooth decay, and preventing calcification (arteries, kidney stones, bone spurs).
The MK4 form has been shown to reduce fractures up to 87%. Vitamin K2 may also reduce
rheumatoid arthritis, cancer deaths by 30%, diabetes, androgens in POC, pneumonia,
dementia, and increasing fertility & testosterone in men & protects ATP production &
mitochrondrial activity (like for people with Parkinson’s). Statins & broad spectrum antibiotics
can deplete vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 may interfere with warfarin.
Organic natto (nonorganic is GMO & Roundup/glyphosate riddled) has the most vitamin k2, 1/8th ts a day on an empty stomach is much cheaper than supplements. Nattokinase is in natto & appears to help break up blood clots, reverse heart disease & hypertension & works an an anti-inflammatory to increase stem cell healing of all cellular damage.

Arginine and Lysine
Arginine & lysine are amino acids found in supplement form that both help wound & bone
healing. Arginine & arginine containing foods (like nuts) should be avoided during a cold sore or
shingles outbreak. Lysine used internally & especially topically quickly heals cold sores &
shingles outbreaks.

Flaxseeds & fermented soy
Organic freshly ground flaxseeds & fermented soy (the healthiest version) may also help bone
strength.
Dr. Richard Becker & Cindy Becker, “Your Health”,
Prunes
Eating prunes may help increase bone density.
Kale
Kale has vitamin K, which helps blood clotting but is different than vitamin K2. Organic kale is
high in almost everything else- magnesium, zinc, calcium and is also high in potassium, which
reduces brittle bones & fractures, & reduces the loss of calcium. The foods that have boron are
almonds, walnuts, avocados, broccoli, potatoes, pears, prunes, honey, oranges, onions, chick
peas, carrots, beans, bananas, red grapes, red apples, chickpeas, and raisins.
Diatomaceous earth
Diatomaceous earth may help build bone & strengthen ligaments & joints.
Iorinse iodine
Iorinse iodine & another brand have taken the types of iodine out that aren’t useful & stain the teeth & affect the thyroid. It is so safe it is used by over 2/3rds of dentists at 500x stronger than regular iodine as a mouth rinse for each patient to prevent disease transmission, brushed on gums to stop periodontal disease infection, & on teeth to immediately stop cavity symptoms & pain.
Cavities & remineralization
Taking vitamin D3, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin K2, boron, lysine & arginine
(see below) can help to remineralize teeth that are forming cavities, especially when
avoiding/minimizine acidic proteins like in meat and milk. Brushing teeth with baking soda,
neem, and other abrasives helps to prevent cavities.

Blis M18 probiotic
Blis M18 is a mouth probiotic that in one study found significant improvements in plaque index,
gingival index, modified sulcular bleeding index, and probing pocket depth over the
control group.
Unlike stomach probiotics, with mouth probiotics a half glass of water is drank BEFORE
chewing the mouth probiotic then nothing for at least a half hour to let the probiotic
spread in the mouth.

EPA & DHA omega3 fatty acids
EPA & DHA omega3 fatty acids come from the algae spirulina, either directly (with a vegetable),
in supplement form, or in fish oil (the fish that eat spirulina). They appear to significantly reduce
periodontitis in a couple studies as well as improve concentration, mood, heart function
& inflammation.

Spinal stenosis
PT might be a reasonable initial option for patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis who
are being considered for surgery. For patients who do undergo surgery, microdecompression
might be a better option than open laminectomy. Fish oil 2gm/day or spirulina taken with a meal
with a vegetable may reduce pain by 60%. Topical magnesium & topical boswellia & ginger
may help.

Spinal surgery ACDF
Since a 4567 ACDF is the most severe, all of the highest estimates in the most honest (not funded by industry) studies must be assumed to be a large underestimate of 4567 ACDF surgery risks since the average in most studies is weighted to mostly level one surgeries.
Over 19% die in surgery or soon after.
Pemanent weakness over 19%.
Revision surgeries over 20%.
Over 25% new spinal cord damage.
Over 55% of spines don’t fuse.
9 months recovery average, 25% movement loss average, may end driving motor vehicles.
Over 50% permanent swallowing difficulties. Adaptation involves pureed food & all liquids with thickening agent so people don’t aspirate (choke) frequently.
Over 50% still having axial neck pain & 5x higher injected morphine doses than level three ACDF patients.

Anemia
What helps anemia-
Iron citrate/gluconate/glycinate/fumarate (not sulfate)
Lecithin liposomal vitamin C (5x stronger), also increases iron absorption
Vitamins B12 (methylcobalamin) & B9 (folinic) or sustained release vitB complex after breakfast
Spirulina w/a vegetable (also mood, concentration, energy, anti-inflammatory)
Yellow dock
Broken bones
Microcurrent
Microcurrent can increase ATP production & healing of injuries & bone breaks by 500%. Microcurrent devices can be almost imperceptible but extremely effective for pain, inflammation & tissue healing (including bones).
Microcurrent may stop the pain permanently over 50% of the time & permanently improve another 30% of the time. For the times it doesn’t permanently stop all pain, it can daily stop inflammation & pain for many with no observed side effects for most.
FSM is a brand that doctors & chiropractors can have that also have a lot of other frequencies for very specific treatment for different disorders.

“CONTRAINDICATIONS AND CONDITIONS FOR MICROCURRENT
When in doubt, always check with a medical professional. Always work within the scope of practice.
Contraindications include:
- Pacemaker
- Pregnancy
- Irregular heartbeat
- Epilepsy
- Cancer or systemic disease
- Varicose veins (do not use microcurrent over the area)
- Phlebitis
- Open wounds
Conditions that may require clearance from a medical professional include diabetes, light sensitive migraines, metal pins or plates at the site of treatment, stroke, and Bells palsy.
Conditions that may interfere with or reduce the results include application of an incorrect conducting product. Use what is recommended by the manufacturer who has tested and calibrated their device to the conducting formula. Poor conducting gels will not send a correct signal to and from the epidermis. Oil-based products do not conduct. Dehydration, age, poor lifestyle (smoking, alcohol), inadequate nutrition, tanning beds, overexposure to ultraviolet light, poor sleep habits, certain medications, and a thyroid condition can also interfere.”
