Re: Mercury, Hydrogen Peroxide and Selenium

[Guest guest]

Keep peroxide out of your mouth.

It has a low pH - acidic. . . and will decalcify tooth structure. It makes exposed root surfaces sensitive and painful, hard to keep clean. Then the weakened surface is more likely to decay.

Yes, it whitens the enamel, but it also decalcifies and weakens the enamel's surface - makes it porous and more likely to stain.

However you intend to use H2O2, use 35% food grade H2O2. Do not use

the 3% H2O2 you see in the drug store in the brown bottle. It is

loaded with chemical preservatives and what not. And be very be

careful if you have metal in your mouth. There is a reason why they

say never put H2O2 in a metal container and that is because it reacts

with the metal. My guess is that it could cause a reaction with

mercury and release mercury vapor. Why take the chance.

Salt water will lower the ph in the mouth. In fact, in a macrobiotic

cookbook I once read that if you eat something with sugar swish your

mouth out with saltwater and the plaque will not stick to your teeth.

Is that Hydrogen peroxide? If so, I guess I'm using the cheap crap. lol

It does get your teeth really clean when you make a paste of it and

baking soda.

My Dad's dentist recommended hydrogen peroxide and baking soda years

and years ago for gum disease. I never heard of the alot vera though.

This formula is probably ok if you do not have any metal in your

mouth. Also, the hydrogen peroxide should be a diluted 35% food grade

solution. This is important and should be add to the formula.
