I don’t think it was 4 jabs of Moderna why I never got covid. 5 cruises in 10 months failed to give me covid. Hundreds of visits to restaurants, stores, offices failed as well. May it was flossing teeth 3 times every day is saving me from covid. This article may have something.

Skimming here, but coincidence is not causation.

Sure, have clean teeth and good gums.

But I have worked hard at it for over 20 years, and I’m barely treading water.

My wife does 1/10th what I do and she gets glowing reviews.

Some third thing is probably causing this.

And I was looking forward to another four or five. You can imagine my extreme disappointment.

I use to have gum disease, until I went on the carnivore diet.

If potassium or another mineral in the blood is low, the blood damages teeth. If they are at a good level, teeth can be repaired.

Excess of one mineral can cause reduction of another. Excess vitamin d causes excess calcium and excess calcium reduces potassium.

The body uses vitamins c d and k to make teeth proteins. Excess of one vitamin in the blood can cause reduction of another vitamin.

Just a courtesy warning..if you are getting dry eyes or dry mouth start paying attention to whether you might be getting Sjogrens. Quest has an Early Sjogren’s test if the regular one tests you negative.
