few drops of oregano oil in a spoon, rubbing one's toothbrush bristles in the oil, and massaging the oil into the gums. This is supposed to kill the bacteria (I think claustridium) well below the gumline. I've done it a number of times. Sure feels invigorating to the gums, to say the least, and the burning only lasts about a minute.
After researching this myself several years ago, the most widely regarded supplement to help grow back gums seemed to be COQ10. And Ubiquinol is the most absorbable and potent form of COQ10.
coating the inside of his mouth with pepto bismol just before bed and spitting out the excess and go to sleep. his dentist was going to pull teeth and now no pain and new gums.
you can also effectively treat receeding gums lines by using things like baking soda, sesame oil and hyrogen peroxide.
It takes only about 24 hours for the bacterial deposit to form into colonies around the teeth and gums.
To control dental disease it is necessary to break up and remove the colonies of bacteria from around the sulcus and teeth area once every 24 hours by alkalizing and oxygenating this area.
To do this requires more than just brushing your teeth. You must stimulate the gum tissue to increase the flow of blood (which brings nutrition and oxygen to that area). Stimulating the gum area also removes waste from the tissue.
OP will help get your gums healthy and back in shape. You might want to add some oil of oregano to your coconut oil or sesame oil (or both -- I love using them both at once, and if you store them together the coconut doesn't fully harden so it's easier to use).
When I started oil pulling some of the earliest things I noticed in my mouth were a) no more gums bleeding -- a good sign that they are getting healthier -- and b) it was *really* difficult for me to get floss between some of my teeth -- they really got firmer in their places
First thing in the morning, before brushing your teeth, eating or drinking, take 1 TBSP of either sesame or sunflower oil. Put the oil in your mouth, tilt your chin up and slowly swish, suck, chomp and pull through the teeth. Do this for at least 10 minutes. 15 - 20 minutes is better. You want the oil to become a thin, white foam when you finally spit it out. If it's still yellow, you haven't done it long enough.
The human mouth has more bacteria and toxins growing and living in it than any other part of the body, aside from the colon.
The bacteria reproduce and also let off toxins that can leach into the blood stream and cause disease in other parts of the body.
It has been known for nearly 100 years that when we brush our teeth that toxins are released into the blood stream.
The membranes of the mouth are so thin that:
The tiny bristles of our tooth brushes cause little abrasions in the tissues of our mouth; these abrasions open up a free passage way to the bloodstream for toxins to travel to other parts of the body from the mouths.
We can take sublingual medications that will dissolve under our tongues and be released directly into the bloodstream.
A person can just put a cigar in their mouth and not even smoke it and have nicotine released into their blood stream.
Plaque and tarter are the causes for tooth decay and gum disease. The plaque and tartar buildup cut off the tooth surface from being bathed by the saliva in your mouth. The saliva protects the tooth, as long as it can get to it. Oil pulling is proving to remove both tartar and plaque with continued use.
Staph and Strep bacteria commonly found in the mouth can cause infection in the body, including moving through the bloodstream and infecting joints causing bacterial arthritis.
After oil pulling and cleaning your mouth then rinse with 1 cup of warm water mixed with ½ teaspoon of sea salt and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Swish this warm water mixture and also gargle with it.
Some people have reverse gingivitis by "rinsing" with coconut oil twice a day, swishing it around for a couple of minutes."
the process is to make the oil swish enough time in your mouth so that it becomes a white thik substance which is a indication of process completion.

Tooth & Gum Oil
For receding, rotting gums and teeth, diseased dental bone
Ingredients:
10 oz Echinacea Tincture
¼ cup Tea tree oil
4 oz Bayberry tincture
2 oz Oak Gall (or 3x oak bark) tincture
2 tbs Cayenne tincture
2.5 dropperfuls Peppermint oil
2.5 dropperfuls Clove oil
Echinacea is a surface disinfectant and stimulates your immune system to start working against bacteria that is down in there. The bayberry is one of the stronger astringents, so it will take that gum tissue and literally tighten it right up in front of your eyes. . . . " Oak is also an astringent. "Oh yes, peppermint is a very strong disinfectant, and it’s a very strong circulatory stimulant.
You can do this 2 more times during the day if you want to detox faster
soft toothbrush with a sea-salt/baking soda paste (the liquid is hydrogen peroxide
Start to make this and ANY Tincture, if possible, on a NEW Moon.
Take a Quart Canning Jar and fill it 1/4 FULL with DRIED Cayenne Peppers, getting the HOTTEST ones (i.e. - Habanero, African Bird, Serrano, Jalapeno - 90,000+ Heat Units), that you can obtain.
Add enough 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to the Cayenne Peppers (powdered, using a Blender or Grinder) to just COVER them.
Use enough FRESH Cayenne Peppers, that you can blend with 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to turn the Mixture into an Apple Sauce-Like Consistency.
Add this Mixture to the 1st Mixture, filling up the Canning Jar 3/4 FULL.
Fill up the rest of the Canning Jar with MORE 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka).

Halogen, sunlight, LED produce ATP in cells, vitamin D3 and heal in the 600 to 900nm wavelength
apply 180 mW/cm^2 of red and/or near-infrared light
Like bright sun, halogen provides an inexpensive source of "healing light energy" in the 600 to 900 nm wavelengths
My (scott@heelspurs.com) interest in light therapy increased a great deal when a halogen treatment returned my black-and-blue broken small toe to almost a normal color in 5 minutes. Pain level went from 8 to 2. I repeated the treatment 6 hours later when the toe turned blue and painful again and received the same benefits.

I can easily see that sequential pulses of 670 nm, 620 nm, 760 nm, and 830 nm may more efficiently activate CCO (cytochrome c oxidase) than simply constant-on light that I normally promote Here is the website http://heelspurs.com/led.html
and here is info on the laser specifications:This is a 90 LED unit, with 45 red (660 nm) and 45 infrared (850 nm) LEDs in a 2.5 x 2.5 inch array providing 250 mW/cm^2 pulses. It is very powerful, requiring a 15-watt power supply and cooling fan to keep the LED array from getting hot. The strength and pulsing method should make it 5 times faster in getting a full treatment than other LED devices. Shoulder, back, neck, knee, and heel injuries can be treated in about 10 minutes with an immediate reduction in pain (typically from an 8 to a 2)scott@heelspurs.com is the creator of the healing light device and this post was derived from his expertise.P
BDNF vs. serotonin in depression theory
highlighted by the discovery that stress can decrease the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and lead to atrophy of these same populations of stressvulnerable hippocampal neurons. The possibility that the decreased size and impaired function of these neurons may be involved in depression is supported by recent clinical imaging studies, which demonstrate a decreased volume of certain brain structures. These findings constitute the framework for an updated molecular and cellular hypothesis of depression, which posits that stressinduced vulnerability and the therapeutic action of antidepressant treatments occur via intracellular mechanisms that decrease or increase, respectively, neurotrophic factors necessary for the survival and function of particular
neurons.
you all knew that the hippocampus is associated with learning and memory, but it is ALSO associated with depression. Or, more specifically, withantidepressants. We used to think that antidepressants worked because they increased the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. But there was a disconnect between the way the drugs were supposed to work and the onset of the actual antidepressant effects. Traditional antidepressants like Prozac produce peak serotonin levels in the brain in within about 6-8 hours. But the antidepressant effects take longer. WAY longer, up to several weeks. So if the increases in serotonin themselves weren't causing the antidepressant effects, what was?
Well, it turns out that, if you treat an animal with a drug like Prozac for a few weeks, long enough to get a clinical effect in humans, you also get neurogenesis in the hippocampus, along with increases in BDNF. So the idea is that, somehow, antidepressants increase BDNF, which helps to increase neurogenesis, and this produces antidepressant effects.
Orexin , Interleukin , Inflammation, Laser Led

Foods To Decrease IL-1beta
In general, vegetables and fruit should help decrease IL-1b.
- Cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside (C3G) – typical anthocyanin (R) – found in many fruits
- Ginger
(R) – has lectins, but was one of the most potent out of 20 medicinal plants (R)

- Anthocyanins (from red raspberries) (R)
- Oat polyphenols (R),
- Astaxanthin in fish (R),
- Betalain/Beets (R),
Other IL-1beta Decreasers
- MDMA (Drug) (R) – USE RESPONSIBLY and dose correctly. I’m on the fence with recommending MDMA because you don’t know what you’re getting. MDMA is a potent IL-beta decreaser, which is why you can party on it all night without feeling fatigue. If you took a quarter of the dosage in the daytime, this would be a more responsible way to take this drug. But there’s still the variability in quality.

In rats, exposure to 4 degrees C or 39 degrees F increased TRH release by 2 fold in the first 15 min.
Therefore you want to expose yourself to cold by going outside in the winter or taking cold showers. This means to completely turn off hot water. I can only do this one minute or else it’s too annoying.
You can additionally take Hypothalamus glandular, which probably contains some minute concentrations of TRH. Take 1500mg per a time.
19) Molecular Hydrogen/Ghrelin
Consuming hydrogen-rich water is a potent antioxidant and, like LLLT, seems like a panacea (R). I use a machine to produce hydrogen rich water, but you can also do it with hydrogen sticks(haven’t experimented with the sticks).
Hydrogen rich water likely increases orexin, since it has been found to increase ghrelin (R). Ghrelin increases orexin (R).
20) Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine MOSTLY increases orexin (R). It can inhibit it simultaneously through a different mechanism, but it mostly increases it. (R) I recommend Alpha GPC.
21) ATP
Increasing ATP levels can increase orexin. (R)
The following increase ATP: Lactate, LLLT, Methylene Blue, mTOR activation, Oxygen, Acetylcholine (R), CES, CoQ10, Lipoic acid, Ribose, Glucose, Pyruvate, Carnitine, Uridine, Bicarbonate, Malate, Creatine
22) Hypothalamus Glandular
Neurotensin is a hormone found mostly in the hypothalamus and regulates luteinizing hormone and dopamine pathways. (R)
It also decreases our body temperature and pain levels and increases our energy (‘locomotor activity). It also has important gut functions. (R)
I would put Hypothalamus glandular under my tongue. I have done this and it seems to have an effect.
23) Caffeine
Caffeine was found to activate orexin, which isn’t surprising. (R)
I recommend getting your caffeine from Jasmine Tea.
24) Pregnenolone and Other GABA Antagonists
GABA antagonists or ‘negative modulators’ block the effects of GABA.
GABA suppresses orexin, so blocking GABA will help activate it. My subjective experience validates this.
The most powerful substances here is pregnenolone. I’ve gotten decent wakeful promoting effects from Zinc, Chocamine, Ginkgo, Muira and Wormwood (be careful).
- Pregnenolone (R, R2). ‘Potent’. I use 25mg, but you can start with a lower dosage. I and all of my clients find this helpful in promoting wakefulness. (gamma2-subunit independent)
- Progesterone (R) – Pregnenolone converts to this, so I just recommend pregnenolone.
- DHEA (R) +DHEA-S (R) – Pregnenolone converts to this, so I just recommend pregnenolone.
- Ginkgo/Bilobalide and Ginkolide (R, R2). This extract should contain about 2% bilobalide.
- Zinc
(R) (different mechanism than pregnenolone -gamma2-subunit)
- Wormwood/Thujone (R)…Thujone is also found in sage.
- Muira Puama (R) – I needed to take 4 pills to significantly feel the wakefulness.
- Chocamine/Theobromine and Tea /Theophylline (R)
- Naltrexone – low dose won’t likely have a significant effect.
LASER LIGHT LED
Where To Use It On The Head
- Front of the head for Increased focus and increased analytic ability
- Upper and side portions of the head for creativity
- Limit usage in the back of the head where the occipital cortex is. Maybe do a third of what you do in the front of your head. If you have CFS then do it in the back, as there’s evidence that CFS is as a result of brain stem inflammation.
Other Places I Use it
I mainly use it on my brain, but sometimes other locations.
- Sports injuries/other injuries. I’ve had one on my finger, my shoulder, etc.. (Effective)
- I use it rarely on my thymus to increase my immune system and immune tolerance (used it maybe 20 times in total) (Effective)
- I use it rarely on my thyroid to increase thyroid hormones (used it maybe 20 times in total) (Effective)
- I use it rarely on my liver to increase liver regeneration (maybe 15 times total) (Effective)
- I use it rarely on my stomach to increase stomach acidity, GI repair (maybe 10 times). (Effective)
- I use it in my teeth to increase dentin. One tooth has some dentin that’s been worn away. (Effective)
- I’ve used it once on my testes to increase testosterone. I’ve only used it once there because I’m a bit scared to use it there as I don’t understand its interaction with sperm enough. (Unable to determine effectiveness.)
- I use it sometimes on the side of my face to heal nerve damage as a result of bells palsy as a kid. (Effective)
- Massive sting. I was recently attacked by a flying creature that was massive – bigger than a queen bee. It attacked a spot in my foot and injected a poison that caused a large portion of my foot to swell. I put LLLT on it and it practically disappeared in like 2 days.
- Although I don’t use it for my skin, it can very well be used for it (R)
- I have not used it for this, but if you get hemorrhoids you can place this laser pointer up your rectum.
How To Use It
I recommend using this before bed, as it causes fatigue in many. I believe the mechanism is by increasing TNF-alpha acutely (R). While it may acutely increase TNF-alpha, it down-regulates the production chronically (R). Read my posts about how inflammation and TNF-alpha is related to fatigue.
First use: Place on each spot on the head for 10 seconds and switch to a different spot. Cover the whole head, except the back. Total time should be 2 min.
Second use: If you felt tired after the first usage then continue at that dosage for a week. If not increase by 10 seconds to a total of 20 seconds per a spot and 4 minutes in total.
If you feel tired and groggy the next day, you had too much. If not, keep on increasing the dosage by 10 seconds until you hit 2 minutes per a spot and a total of 15 minutes.
If you feel groggy the next day and only took 30 seconds per a spot (less than 6 minutes in total) then it means you have an inflammatory and/or mitochondrial issue. LLLT will help with it.
If you feel tired after 2 minutes of putting it on your head this also means you likely have an inflammatory and mitochondrial issue. Again, LLLT will help with it.
Use every other day. I recommend every third day if you’re generally functioning pretty well. If you’re taking a lot of other supplements then use once a week perhaps. That’s what I do. The benefits are abolished if used daily for a few weeks.
An alternative way of using it is to put it on your head in the day time for two minutes in total. This isn’t enough to make most people tired, but it still stimulates Cytochrome C Oxidase. I would definitely recommend using it this way if your sleep is disturbed by LLLT.
Last, don’t worry about the detailed instructions or screwing up. This is very safe if you use it even somewhat right. The reason I give these instructions is so that people with underlying inflammatory issues aren’t scared off if they see some negative effects.
When Will You See Results?
LLLT is like exercise – benefits are accrued and realized after the healing stage, but there’s usually a noticeable effect the next day.
If you don’t notice anything from laser therapy then congratulations – you likely have healthy mitochondria and low levels of inflammation
LLT LASER LED RED/BLUE Effects Experience
- Increases higher order cognitive function
- Improves memory via growth factors and brain metabolism (R,R2)
- Improves attention (R)
- Improves working memory (R)
- Improves mood (R)
- Improves motivation
- Increases wakefulness
- Increases sports performance (via sensory and motor improvements) (R)
- Decreases need for sleep
LLLT:
- Suppresses inflammation: PGE(2), Cox 2, IL-1b, TNF, IL-8, IL-6, neutrophil cell influx, etc.. (R, R2, R3)
- Increases internal antioxidants (SOD) (R)
- Decreases free radicals and oxidatively stressed neurons (R)
- Increases brain Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (R). HIFs are normally increased under low oxygen conditions. This is the body’s stress response. HIF-1 increases several genes to promote survival in low-oxygen conditions. These include enzymes that allow ATP (cellular energy currency) synthesis in an oxygen-independent manner, and VEGF, which promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) in the brain. This makes sense because when the brain is starved for energy it will try to make up for it.
- Increases stem cells (R, R2, R3)
- Increases Nerve growth factor (NGF) (R)
- Increases Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (R)
- Increases Neurotrophin-3-contradictory (NT-3) (R)
- Increases IGF-1, TGF-b (R, R2), PDGF, FGF2 (R)
- Increases ATP production (R)
- Increases the number of mitochondria (R) i.e mitochondrial biogenesis
- Promotes the synthesis of DNA and RNA (R)
- Increases neuronal mitochondrial metabolism byphotostimulation (stimulation by light) of an enzyme (cytochrome oxidase) involved in increasing mitochondrial oxygen usage (R) and increases mitochondrial membrane potential (R)
- Increases blood flow and circulation (R)
- Decreases amyloid-β aggregates in human brain cells (in-vitro) (R), the protein responsible for Alzheimer’s.
- Activates PKC (R)
- Upregulates heat shock proteins (R)
- Stimulates mast cell degranulation (R)
- Modifies extracellular matrix components (R)
- Prevents neuronal death by greater membrane stability and resistance to depolarization, which has been shown to transiently reduce neuronal excitability (R)
- Prevents cell death, improves cell proliferation, migration and adhesion (R)
- Increases the expression of genes in the brain by increasing the transcription factors Nf-kb (R), AP-1 and CREB (R). Transcription factors are proteins that bind to DNA and supports growth and repair. See this video animation on how these proteins bind to DNA.
- Increases our body’s natural opioids (R).
Interestingly, in normal neurons LLLT increased oxidative stress/ROS. In oxidatively-stressed cells LLLT reduced high ROS levels and protected cultured cortical neurons from death (R)
Some of the mechanisms are similar to methylene blue.
LLLT Goes Well With
- Kombucha, sourdough bread or other sources of lactate (read about the cognitive benefits of lactate). I’ve never seen this reported, but my experience suggests this.
- Hi-Maize resistant starch, based on my experience.
- PQQ
- Niagen NAD+

26) Forskolin
Forskolin is a well known wakeful promoter and it certainly produces a noticeable effect with me.
Forskolin increases cyclic AMP in the whole body, including in the area where orexin neurons are. This causes these neurons to activate (long term potentiation) and the result is we’re more wakeful. (R)
