Dr. Oz says to floss every day to help the immune system.

Good little reminder!

LOL! Thanks Bluebyyou!! :-) Our immune systems need all the help they can get!

Another tid bit - did you know that mints and chewing gum sweetened with Xylitol can help rid the mouth of spirochetes like the Lyme bacteria and prevent biofilms from forming in the mouth?

Interesting on the Xylitol. Just be careful your pets don't get it, it can really make them sick or kill them.

I may get some mints

I was not aware that Lyme could reside in the teeth. I did find a few articles after reading this post that confirm that. So I wonder...Since Lyme spirochetes hate oxygen, Would a teeth whitening kit help eradicate the Lyme from the teeth? The hydrogen peroxide would be in direct contact with the teeth for maybe 20 minutes or so because the plastic mold would hold the hydrogen peroxide in place and as the hydrogen peroxide foams, I would imagine that it would affect the Lyme. What do you think?

Gargling with hydrogen peroxide seemed to eliminate severe gum pain I experienced after I completed my first 10-day course of amoxicillin (while waiting for my initial appointment with a LLMD). I swear by it, and even mentioned it to my dentist! He said that if it worked, great, but just not to overdue it because it can be a bit harsh. This is not a situation where if some is good, more is better...

I've used Xylitol for a sweetener for a couple of years and knew it could help with bacteria, but I never thought of it for Lyme. I think I'll be getting some mints for my daughter since she has bad gums. Thanks for that info.!

I'd be concerned with the corn source because of GMOs being in so much of the corn now. Mine is from birch trees.

There are some toothpastes made with xylitol as well - I think the kind I use is now foods. Good to know I'm killing off spirochetes every morning!
