We All are aware of the fact that acids in the mouth cause tooth decay. However, acids in the mouth also create escalating problems throughout the day from the foods we eat. Did you know the saliva glands, stomach, pylorus glands, gall bladder and pancreas release plain old baking soda to buffer and alkalize what we eat? The release of baking soda on what we put into our mouth is preparation for that food becoming the foundational stem cells that becomes our blood and then our body cells.
Here are more interesting facts I learned, yet again, from Dr. Young: Most
folks think that the mouth and stomach are releasing enzymes or acids
to digest the foods and liquids we eat. This is a medical myth.
The enzymes or acids in the mouth come directly from the foods and liquids we eat. Also the salivary glands, in response to these
acids, release alkaline buffers to neutralize those enzymes or acids.
For this reason, it is NOT recommended you take vinegar, HCL
supplements and acidic digestive enzymes. They destroy the alkalinity
of the alimentary canal and set the stage for dis-ease!
The
A primary organ responsible for making baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
is the stomach. The stomach takes water, carbon dioxide and
sodium chlorite from the blood to make sodium bicarbonate.
That is why our blood salts with sodium!
Now,
if you are thinking like me, 'Wait a minute, Dr. Young, I thought
that the stomach was acidic. I thought that the acids from the
Stomach was created to digest food,' then it might surprise you to
find out that this is the biggest medical myth of the 20th and 21st
Centuries. The mouth, stomach and intestines are not digestive
organs, but organs of contribution. The contribution is
plain old baking soda - sodium bicarbonate.
When
food enters the stomach, the cover cells of the stomach begin to
produce plain old baking soda or sodium bicarbonate to raise the pH
of the food. The baking soda splashes on the food and then
hydrochloric acid falls into the gastric pits away from the food. Dr.
Young says this is where current medical science misses the boat.
They measure the pH of the stomach after the food has been alkalized by the sodium bicarbonate or after alkalization. The only thing
left is the acidic residues of the HCL or hydrochloric acid which is
a waste product of sodium bicarbonate production, not a product of
digestion. The correct healthy pH of the stomach ranges from 7.2 to
8.4 not the current medical theory of 1.5 to 3.0.
- J Pub Health Dentistry, Nov. 1993. There is a tooth decay epidemic in the US. 42% of people over 65 years of age have no natural teeth, 44-year-olds' have an average of 30 dental cavities, 17-year-olds' have an average of 11 cavities, with blacks and the impoverished being twice as bad. American Indians have four times the dental problems of the average non-Indian populations. American Indians have free dental care, and have had since almost the beginning of fluoridation. If fluoride helped prevent cavities at a rate of 80% per 15 years as the proponents of fluoride claimed in the beginning of the early studies of the 1940s, US residents would now have less than 2 cavities per person.
- In MediZine, Vol. 6 No. 2, April of 2000, the American Dental Association again states that a dental epidemic exists and 42% of those over 65 years of age and 25% of those over 44 years of age have no natural teeth. They admit their ignorance as to why. We now know why. It is the acidic lifestyle and diet which includes how you think.
- Studies conducted over a 30 year period indicate that the increasing concentration of fluoride in drinking water from 0 to 1 ppm increases the cavities 7, 43, 22 and 10% in Japan, Tucson, India and the US respectively. In other words, fluoridation about doubles cavitation from the norm. Numerous studies verify the fact that fluoridation of water increases cavities. Tooth enamel (essentially calcium phosphate) reacts with all food acids to form cavities (see any chemistry text dealing with solubility's). The proton of the acid pulls the phosphate right out of the enamel, and fast. Dr. Albert Schatz, Nobel Laureate, who discovered streptomycin, found several decades ago that sharks' teeth with their excessive fluoride would dissolve just as readily in citric acid (Vitamin C) as ordinary non-fluoridated teeth, laying to rest the hypothesis that fluoride would stop cavities.

The American Dental Association pushed aside as insignificant this discovery and Dr. Schatz' discoveries regarding excessive baby mortality's caused by fluoridation in Chili, South America. They returned his mail 3x unopened, and would not deal with him. Some harmful food acids are those with a pH less than 4 (which includes all animal proteins and fish tart to the taste) and also those that attack tooth enamel. The lower the pH, the more rapidly the acids will breakdown and burn.
Reenamelization of
the teeth occurs when they are clean. All commercial toothpastes
make a barrier of glycerin (a sugar acid) on the teeth which
requires more than 20 rinses to remove. A good solution for clean
teeth, is brushing with plain old baking soda, pHour Salts -
Dr. Young's newest alkaline product for brushing and rinsing the
teeth, also pHlavor liquid sea salt which leaves the
teeth ready for reenamelization with calcium and phosphate
in the diet. Reenamelization and recalcification of
the teeth is necessary on a daily basis, because the enamel
leaches slightly even with normal tap water.
Without reenamelization and recalcification we
could never have good teeth. That is why Dr. Young
created pHour Salts (an alkalizing tooth
powder), pHlavor Sea Salts and pH Miracle Water.
It is recommended we brush our teeth every day with pHour Salts
and spray the pHlavor Liquid Sea Salt
on all my foods and in my mouth several times a day.
