Health from inside

By: kraftb@kraftb.at

Whenever possible health should not be a result of drugs and other workarounds but rather come from inside of your own body.

This time I would like to write about something which takes my new knowledge and abilities into account. I would like to write about health. No - I do not want to start a story about eating healthy food and to avoid drug abuse, but would like to tell some things which rather see the whole stuff from a molecular biological view.

I think there are many people which, like I, have problems with their teeth. Years before, while I smoked a lot I had to go to the dentist quite often. He had to drill away caries and make fillings. I think I had my first root canal therapy already with about 12 or 13 years. With 25 I got my first tooth implants. This was necessary to fill the gaps which were a result of two teeths which had to get extracted. Such an implant is not a very fine solution. It doesn't feel like real teeth and it is very problematic if such an implant starts to make problems.

When I stopped smoking I started to brush my teeth at a regular basis which improved the situation drastically. And then I had the following idea: Some times ago people were vaccinated against Polio by a oral vaccination. Nowadays the Polio virus got extincted so this vaccination is not usual any more. But the interesting stuff about this is the oral way of getting a vaccine into the body. An attenuated version of the virus has to get swallowed. In the gastrointestinal tract of the human body this virus will get recognized by the immune system and a resistance against it will get developed by the adaptive immune system. When the virus enters the body a second time (possibly by an infection) there can be an immune response in very short time.

So if you think about brushing teeth, you'll see that almost everybody brushes his teeth with toothpaste (At least I assume this;) When having finished brushing teeth the paste with all solved bacterias and viruses gets spit out. So I started to make a kind of self experiment. I simply brushed my teeth without toothpaste. I used a new toothbrush which I washed a few times before using it. It seems the factories tend to put a little amount of something similar to toothpaste directly onto the brushes. I guess everyone knows one shouldn't swallow toothpaste itself. This is not healthy.

But when not using toothpaste I simply swallowed all saliva with the solved substances scratched of my teeth. This may sound disgusting but when you clearly thinkg about this you'll recognize you swallow your own saliva over the whole day and everytime when eating! Later I modified this kind of brushing my teeth by taking a nip of water into my mouth and brushing with closed lips. This way the water can take up most of the solves substances.

The reason for brushing the teeth like this, is to get all the bad bacterias and viruses into the gastrointestinal tract - so your stomache and intestine. As soon as your immune system finds one of those bad guys it starts producing antibodies against it. Antibodies are located in the whole blood, and as saliva contains many of the substances which are found in the blood, those adapted antibodies can also be found in saliva and attack bacteria and viruses directly on the teeth. The result was astonishing. In the last one and a half years I were only very seldom at the dentist and only for fixing some small issues.

I guess many people will think this way of brushing your teeth is disgusting. But the fact that saliva contains your own antibodies and the immune system of the human body consists of an inherited static and a dynamic adaptive part allows to postulate a theory like this. When starting this self therapy I sometimes had a few symptoms like a bit of raised temperature. But those symptoms similar to low fever vanished during the night and I felt healty on the next days morning. After a few weeks those symptoms disappeared completly - most probably because my immune system invented a weapon against those gremlins and I can feel much more healthier since then!
