Oral health problems = dysbiosis. đź¦
Has nothing to do with "hygeine". 🪥
Fix with functional medicine, not dentistry. 🦷

Most refuse to acknowledge that most oral health problems could be fixed through diet.
Once dysbiosis becomes entrenched, a killing/restoration protocol becomes necessary. Candida can be especially difficult.
Won't last if you don't fix diet/lifestyle.
Best resource for learning more?
Finally figured out that my gut health was to blame for my sinus “infections” and it blew my mind. No more seed oils and now I rarely have any sinus congestion and if it happens it is shorter lived and far less severe.
Grapefruit seed extract is like a miracle with sinus issues for that exact reason.
I have never tried that one. Will check it out.
For your experiment:
1. With meals - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0016ZWSZI
2. Directly in sinuses: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004THE87G
3. In + around ears (you'd be surprised): https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004TIAXWY
IMO...
If you don't floss you will have nasty breath.
If you easily get cavities, reducing sugar consumption will likely improve things.
No need for annual fluoride "cleanings."
Routinely eating an apple is good for your teeth... it does help keep the Dr. away.
Eat well... protect your teeth!
Sugar feeds acid producing bacteria but isn't the root cause of dysbiosis.
have you read this?
would be interested to hear your thoughts as one well-steeped in the area...
Another bald guy championing keto?
These people are a dime a dozen, and they all look the same: unwell.
From #Grok:
> The book promotes a ketogenic lifestyle, where the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. Champion argues this aligns with human physiology, leading to weight loss, improved energy, mental clarity, and reduced risk of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s.

My teeth look better than his as 500g+ of sugar a day.
It's dysbiosis, not fruit and honey.
dysbiosis - gonna look it up thanks
so you read it or...?
i have not. its sitting on the shelf.
i have read his other output though, on aye-arrrr-sss -
he doesnt mess around with his research and presents nothing that he hasn't like triple-verified from multiple legitimate sources, so I find it hard to believe he is so easily dismissed in this realm...
also, actually reading it you learn his history which is that he was NOT HEALTHY for the first part of his life - maybe up until 50 ... he was bald before he changed his diet.
he is now well north of 60 I think so there is that.
anyhoo.
the man is a national treasure due to his other work though... "Shattering..." - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Nothing like it out there.
"from Grok" - lol huh?
Seems like a reasonable summation. You disagree with it?
its just super generic compared to the depth of his argument imo... with a better prompt Grok could dig in a bit but no big deal
again, havent read it and only have cursory awareness of full argument due to some interviews... seems one of the main thrusts of the book is that he found that most people are in a state of "glucosis", a term he says he had to coin since there wasnt one for this "state"... he says this "glucosis" is new for humans and that our ancestors did not live in this state, but rather in a more "ketotic" state...
the other thing I think I remember, but may be mischaractetizing it a bit here, is that this "glucosis" state is the root cause of pretty much all disease, inflammation being the main culprit, but, according to the individual, manifesting in different "diseases" (diabetes, dementia, alzheimers,cancer) on a spectrum according to a sort of gradient of the total cell health depending on how much "glucosis" the entirety of the person has been through and for how long.
again, the impeccability and diligence of this mans research regarding the tax code makes it difficult for me to dismiss his position out-of-hand...
