There may now be a simple and highly effective way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Just brush your teeth with powdered baking soda once or twice a week!

I showed this to a dentist friend who had spent his early career vetting medical research and he was very impressed. He noted that baking soda is a specific against the common types of oral spirochetes that may be to blame, killing them in just five seconds.
He added that dentists have long suspected a connection between chronic gum inflammation and Alzheimer’s; and on reflection he noted that the current upswing in the total number of Alzheimer’s patients began not too long after the public started using commercial toothpaste instead of baking soda.
He also noted that the “old formula” was baking soda mixed with table salt. Doctors have long known that warm, salty water (or saliva, I suppose in this case), is one of the most effective *general* treatments for oral problems, as well as the sinuses, Eustachian tubes and throat, including infections, both bacterial and viral.
The irritant in today’s toothpastes for many people is SLS, sodium laurel sulfate. It’s a foaming agent. It is used in other industrial uses such as degreasing machine components. It is known to be an irritant for many people.
