I would be at my ideal weight for my height. I am as an adult only 5’2 tall so that number was 1. I have not seen that number since I was 1.

Manuka Honey May Help Fight Tooth Decay. By Dr. Mercola. Honey has been used as a natural wound healer and infection fighter since ancient times, and new research is showing that a specific type of honey from New Zealand - - Manuka honey - - may offer a wealth of additional healing benefits. Manuka honey is made by bees that feed off the flowers of the Manuka bush, a medicinal plant native to New Zealand. All honey contains varying degrees of hydrogen peroxide, which is formed when worker bees secrete an enzyme (glucose oxidase) into the nectar. Manuka honey, however, has healing properties that extend beyond the healing effects attributed to its hydrogen peroxide content alone; properties such as improved dental health. Can Manuka Honey Reduce Plaque Formation? Researchers from India recently explored a number of strategies for reducing dental plaque: Manuka honey, which has potent antibacterial properties Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash, a chemical mouthwash often used to treat gingivitis Chewing gum with xylitol, a sugar alcohol that has been found to help fight tooth decay Sixty healthy subjects first received a professional prophylaxis with the purpose of making their teeth 1.

It was clearly superior to the chemical mouthwash used in this study. However, I believe there are even more effective alternatives based on my own personal health journey. You might be surprised to learn that despite my outstanding diet, which has me grain and sugar free most of the time, and aggressive exercise program, I have struggled with dental plaque for some time. The plaque has been so bad that it requires monthly visits to the dental hygienist. This has frustrated me for many decades, as despite regular brushing, flossing and using a dental irrigator there has been no improvement in the plaque. Well earlier this month I received my first feedback that I finally found something that worked. After speaking at the Weston Price Wise Traditions event in Dallas in November I was introduced to fermented vegetables and have been consuming them regularly since then.
