Natural Toothpaste Recipe
— 1 part Clacium Hydroxyapatite
— 2 parts CMC (Colloidal Mineral Compound)
— 5 parts Baking Soda (alkalizing, mild abrasive)
— 6 parts coconut oil (antibiotic)
— A few drops of Essential Oil --- peppermint, anise, fennel, orange, etc.*
— 3-4 parts Natural Soap (without glycerin or sodium lauryl (laureth) sulfate).
Hard soap works better than liquid soap. I use Grandma's Pure Lye Soap.
Grate with a serrated knife or grater so that the soap pieces can easily dissolve in water.
— Pinch of Rock Salt
— Large pinch of humic/fulvic acid powder
— A little bit of filtered water
You can also add:
— Small pinch of cayenne (to stimulate circulation)
Note: These proportions are approximate.
Directions:
Place a small amount of water in glass container and add the grated soap. To enhance mixing, place container in a pan of warm-hot water. Mix until the soap is dissolved and then slowly add in all the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Add some water, if needed, so that the content becomes a thick paste. if too watery, add some more baking soda. Then, making sure the water is still warm, add the coconut oil. Make sure the coconut oil melts completely and mix everything together. Once fully mixed, you can place the contents in the refrigerator but make sure to mix every few minutes so that the texture is consistent. Once the mixture has cooled down and hardened a bit, remove from the refrigerator.
Apply liberally to your tooth brush. Use the best-quality toothbrush you can find. Since this formula is mineralizing, and will help rebuild your teeth, you may want to swish it around in your mouth and hold it for a few minutes before spitting out.
* Most essential oils kill bacteria, which is good unless it kills the good bacteria that is needed for certain mineral conversions. So, when making the toothpaste, you may not want to add any essential oils. What you can do is use the toothpaste, as is, in the morning and afternoon, and add a drop of essential oil, right on your toothbrush, in the evening only.
Some people who make their own toothpaste add bentonite clay, which is a fine absorbent but generally not compatible with other substances. If you want to use clay (or activated charcoal) consider using it alone. Some people add diatomaceous earth (DE) to their formula but this may not be advised since DE is very sharp and very hard. (On a hardness rating, where diamonds are 9, DE is 7.)
The formula outlined above uses CMC. For more information on this see:
>> Colloidal Mineral Compound (CMC)
For minerals, some people add ground up egg shells (from organic eggs) to their toothpaste. You will have to grind this up into a fine powder before using; but even so it may still be too course and abrasive. Some people use trace mineral additives and/or magnesium, which can help with remineralization; however, it's best not to combine calcium and magnesium or use calcium/ magnesium supplements. If you want to use both calcium and magnesium in your mixture it would be best to make the formula using calcium and then add a few drops of magnesium chloride to the paste when it is on your toothbrush.)
Note: Bacteria in your mouth is needed for many food conversions---and particularly for the creation of nitric oxide---so the over use of germ-killing mouthwash and toothpaste can be problematic. If using high-powered anti-bacterials in your mouth, such as hydrogen peroxide, essential oils, or CDS is it best to use these after dinner only, as this would allow enough time for the good bacteria to gain traction by the next day.
Note: Taking double doses of CMC powder is the best way to remineralize your teeth from the inside. Many people say that eating one ground-up organic egg-shell per day is also very helpful. (You can add the powdered egg shell to a smoothie if you like. Apparently egg shell have a very similar mineral composition to teeth. I'm not sure how well this is absorbed, but many people swear by it.) Pulling with comfrey root---i.e., holding an infusion of comfrey root in your mouth for 20 minutes a day---is also a potent way to help remineralize the teeth. Since saliva is the carrier for minerals to the teeth, make sure the comfrey is mixed with saliva. You may have to add a pinch of salt to help with this. (What I do it boil up some root so it is nice and soft. Drain off most of the water, but leave enough so I can blend it with a stick blender. And place the mushy comfrey root into a glass jar and refrigerate. Then I take out a teaspoon of the paste, force it through a sieve with a round spoon, and then scrape off the comfrey root paste from the bottom of the sieve. It's gooey so it stays on the sieve. Then I place the comfrey root paste, with a little water and salt, in my mouth, swishing it around my teeth every minute or so.)
Note: People often talk about comfrey (root and leaves) being toxic to your liver but I cannot confirm this. Sometimes, when I hold the root in my mouth too long it gives me a slight headache, but I'm not sure why. In one of her articles, herbalist Susan Weed discusses which kinds of comfrey may be toxic and which types are not: >> http://www.susunweed.com
Avoiding commercial toothpaste, even "health food brands" like Tom's, which contains fluoride or glycerin, is also advised.
