1:12 Why is vitamin C so important? If you don't have enough vitamin C, you cannot make collagen. Vitamin C is essential to make collagen. 1:50 A big indicator to know you're vitamin C deficient is when you get bleeding gums. Anything like gingivitis or a periodontal disease is usually related in some way to a vitamin C deficiency. 2:05 Sugar feeds the bacteria that develop acids that cause cavities, inflamed gum tissue and plaquing and tartar. 2:20 What is tartar? Tartar is biofilms which is colonies of microbes that have band together and they develop these calcium shelters to hide from your immune system. 3:24 Without vitamin C you get really bad breath because of overgrowth of bacteria. Vitamin C suppresses pathogens including viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus, mold and of course biofilms. 3:40 Vitamin C does the following: • Acts an an antihistamine • Makes active folate • Helps converting cholesterol into bile salts • Helps converting tryptophan into serotonin • Helps converting dopamine into epinephrine • Helps making adrenal hormone steroids like cortisol • Fights off infections • Decreases the duration of infection • Increases your resistance to infection 5:00 The ships develop these things called barnacles (collection of organisms) underneath them which makes them heavier and more resistant to friction hence needing more fuel to travel. They tried so many things to get rid these barnacles/biofilms. In 1990 this sailor had this brilliant idea when he was eating a sandwich that had red hot chili peppers. He wondered if chili peppers would kill off these barnacles. He found out that indeed they effectively kill off these microorganisms, so he developed a type of paint using chili peppers and it worked great. 6:21 Chili Peppers not only have certain active compounds that kill biofilms, but they're also very very high in vitamin C. 6:31 A byproduct of vitamin C is hydrogen peroxide which is another anti-biofilm chemical. In fact, your body makes hydrogen peroxide to protect against too many biofilms. 6:50 The top remedy for tartar: • Baking Soda: 1/4 teaspoon • Water: 1/2 cup • 3% Hydrogen Peroxide: 1/4 teaspoon • Non-GMO Ascorbic Acid: 1/4 teaspoon 7:42 Mix them all together and brush your teeth with it once a day a pit out the material. You're going to have one of the most powerful anti-biofilm compounds around. You can also add mints, peppermints, clove as a great essential oil. 8:10 The best foods for healthy teeth and gums: • Peppers: red, hot, mild, green • Green vegetables • Limes and lemons • Sauerkraut Thank you Dr. Berg Sincerely, 11 : 11 Meditation Portal Channel
My dad grew up on a small island. He was told that fruits like limes and Lemons plus eating raw garlic almost everyday would keep his mouth and immune system healthy. Grown up eating raw limes and lemons and garlic and have had no cavities. I’ll be 30 next year. When I feel getting sick or having allergies I grab my limes and lemons and raw garlic and eat it up.
Nice. 😃I just got a lemon tree few days ago. I use good Olive oil to brush my teeth. It's way more gentle . But works right away. To remove plaque and tartar. 😁✨ your welcome.
My grandmother lived to be 103. She brushed her teeth with salt and baking soda her whole life. She also had a little glass of orange juice every morning with her breakfast. Thank you for these videos. You are helping the world to health! Good job!!
My Grandmmother mixed baking soda with a glass of water for indigestion, she drank gallons and gallons of the stuff and lived until she was 96, I miss my old Gran, she was an awesome lady such a strong person, outlived Pop by 30 odd years, they owned a tobacco farm in Golden Bay near Motueka NZ

My dentist, who teaches at Georgetown U. told me two years ago to mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and brush twice a week. My teeth are nice and white and he said my gums look amazing. I am 65.
Dentist here. Biofilms that form on teeth are not only natural and normal but play a key role in maintaining oral health, preventing decay, and periodontal problems. The goal is not to just remove bacteria out of your mouth (i.e. antiseptic mouthwashes can cause acute rises in blood pressure as the bacteria in the mouth produce nitric oxide, a vasodilator, vital for vascular health), rather to have an appropriate oral microbiota balance, which is disrupted by things like high carb/sugar diets and mouth breathing.
The biofilm has two layers. First is ,, good boy ,, protective one , second is ,, bad boy ,, harmful but until moment dentist is not messing with harsh cleaning, first layer of biofilm is protecting teeth.
A retired dentist here: you forgot another function of plaque in the mouth: ensure a high income to dentists. An arrow in the head was also quite normal for people a couple thousand years ago. For the rest of the community: eliminate added sugars and consequently oral and coronary and brain plaque.
I’m confused. Should I not be getting my teeth cleaned every 6 months? Is the plaque good for me? I am keto OMAD but I still get significant plaque behind my lower front four teeth. I find oil pulling with coconut oil helps, but I still get my teeth cleaned regularly. Is this bad for my teeth? No fluoride treatment, just clean and polish. And no x-rays.

@@petrospetromixos6962Oranges are high in natural sugars, and (I've read -- so check it!) have an acidifying effect in the body, whereas lemons and limes have an alkalizing effect. Good to investigate.

I just had to come back to this video to let everyone know that I mixed up the solution and I have been swishing with it for about a week. Every now and then I brush with it, but for the most part, I just swish. Before I started, the plaque behind my bottom teeth was very thick. But I’ve noticed since I’ve been swishing I don’t feel it so much with my tongue. So I got a mirror and took a look - and it is almost all gone! This information has saved me from my next dental visit being a disaster. Thanks so much Dr. Berg! We can always rely on you for good information.💝
My dental appointment had been bad because of my plaques. After I swished with this solution two weeks before my last dental appointment, the report is so much better! So I know this solution works! Thanks to Dr Berg !
This Doctor gives out so much health information. His videos are a service to humanity and like a free insurance policy. Dr. Eric Berg deserves the Nobel Prize!🎉
@@santh5545I couldn’t disagree more. Many people, including me, love the details. I want to learn why it’s happening and what caused it. That info is essential to then resolving the issue. A 60 second remedy only video won’t help nearly as much. ‘Viral’ solutions usually only last as long as the short attention span of people seeking them that just move onto the next viral fade. This is your health we’re talking about, there are few quick and easy universal fixes. Your health should be more important than being reduced to viral TikTok’s.
If anyone wondering, Red Bell pepper has the highest amount of Vitamin C. (Twice as much as Capsicum). You can even tell by taste! Yellow and Orange come second in nutrients. Then comes the ordinary Capsicum, that's often the cheapest, but with the highest shelf life. Initially, all are green but they change color on ripening depending on time of harvest.
CAVEAT: Peppers are a "Nightshade" so should be avoided by those with autoimmune conditions!!......Alkaloids, and specifically glyco-alkaloids, are the culprit.
There are quite a few foods, especially wild fruits and berries with much higher vitamin c than bell peppers. Like camu berry, and bell peppers are very high in vitamin c per weight, but won't be able to eat more than few hundred grams of bell peppers but you can easily smash a kilogram or two of mangoes or oranges giving you significantly more vitamin c per day.
I wish I had known all of these before loosing 5 teeth at the age of 23. My teeth are one of my biggest regrets but I blame my parents for not looking after my health. My kids in the future will be the healthiest in the world.
My teeth are also my biggest regrets. I have 2 kids (10 and 12) and I’m always after them reminding them to brush their teeth, not eat a lot of sweets.
Ive been brushing my teeth with a homemade paste of coconut oil and baking soda and mouthwash (peroxide, mint extract, and water. My teeth are healthier and so much whiter!!!! Thanks for the video
@@inactiveuser11 I make my toothpaste with the same ingredients and I don't measure, I just take a little jar, put some coconut oil in it and mix in baking soda until it's a thick enough consistency to adhere to my toothbrush. I also add one or two drops of peppermint essential oil but you can add more, just depends on how minty you would like it.
@@cleocatra9324 No it's actually very gentle on the enamel. It's pretty low on the Moh's scale of hardness (2.5). It's much less abrasive than most toothpastes on the market that contain hydrated silica (5-7 hardness scale).
A helpful hint for "liquid toothpaste". I made my batch in a small widemouth jar where I can easily dip out a large rounded tablespoon of it. I then only dip my toothbrush into the tablespoon of solution and when I'm finished brushing, I use the rest that remains in the tablespoon to swish with.
Great! How have been the results? I tried making a small batch but then saw bubbles in it...eventually realised it's hydrogen peroxide releasing oxygen (degrading itself into water & oxygen )when kept in water solution for longer hours!
It seems like I'm the only one confused I've watched this video along with the other three that he recommended and I still don't see how you are adding a teaspoon of absorbent acid? If you don't mind me asking what are you using?
I asked many of my dentists, what is causing this tartar buildup, and they always suddenly stopped talking or said something like drinking too much coffee could be causing it. Thanks for digging further ito this subject. It is not only extremely interesting, but also has practical value. Thanks Doc!
Tartar build up is dental plaque that has hardened on the teeth and can not be brushed off- it has to be scraped off (usually by hygienist). Dental plaque is a sticky film that forms on the teeth, which is made of bacteria mixed in with saliva and acid (bacteria produces acid when we eat starchy food) and some minerals found in our saliva. Everyone gets tartar buildup, but some get more than others depending on their home care such as how well you’re brushing and flossing. And also depends on the content of your saliva because some people have more minerals than others which causes the plaque to harden more. Hope this helps
I began having terrible tartar buildup while taking a new calcium supplement. I had never had such a problem before. I quit taking the supplement and replaced it with dietary sources and I added K2 to my diet (to improve calcium absorption) and the tartar has stopped. My hygienist even commented about it.
@Sherine abboud interesting. I was diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism 4 years ago (result of damage from thyroid surgery.) I take meds for it but find my calcium levels are regularly unbalanced. I've also noticed that sometimes I get deposits between my teeth rapidly, even if I'm flossing daily. So it sounds like it's tartar caused by (excess) serum calcium levels. I also have developed tinnitus and I put it to the ENT specialist it's probably connected to calcium deposits in the inner ear. He said he was going to research it as wasn't aware of the crystal composition! I'm having an MRI this week so he can see what's going on in the inner ear as referred for vertigo.
My grandfather never had a flu or cold in his life. I noticed it and asked him why. He told me he had lemon juice every morning. Also, when he later was in a nursing home, he and another resident refused the flu shot and were the only two who did not get the flu, and 12 vaxed residents not only got the flu shot but died from that flu. After my grandfather's death, I wondered if orhers had a family member who never had a flu or cold in their lives.
@shonnamay8331 he went Home before Covid in 20/21. The jabs were flu shots only. It was a bad flu season that year. However, in your context, you are sadly right!
@@NightwishArena Throw a whole lemon into a blender, skin, pips and all - good medicine (spoonful or two once a day - to the back of you mouth and swallow - too sour for the teeth enamel)
I sooooo appreciate the fact that you are still a doctor that informs and aren't a pharmaceutical salesman! I'd buy from you just because you are so informative. I do prefer natural remedies
He just pushes selling his own solutions though so it's not much different. You don't need to be buying his supplements if you are eating like he says to.
I started putting some (vitamin c) I bought in bulk, in my daily bone broth & collagen. I said my teeth feel better but it’s hard to explain what I mean. Yes & my breath is better. Side note: I took my hair down (out of cornrows) after 2 1/2 weeks. I barely shedded any hair. Your hair can be an indicator of what’s going on in the body.
Dental hygienist here... plaque is the white film that you can scrape off your teeth with your fingernail. If this soft plaque is allowed to remain on your teeth, it can begin to calcify forming tartar, also known as calculus. Plaque and tartar are two different things, however both harbor bacteria and can cause inflammation (red/inflamed/bleeding gums) Plaque and tartar can accumulate above the gumline or below the gumline and in between teeth. This is why flossing in between teeth and UNDER the gumline is important. (So many patients don't know you can do this until I show them proper flossing technique) You can remove plaque at home but you cant remove tartar at home, and requires a hygienist to "scale" your teeth to remove the mineralized deposits. This is done at routine cleanings. To reduce inflammation of gums (gingivitis) you don't have to oil pull (gross) or brush with this or that. You can simply brush with a wet toothbrush using a PROPER brushing technique (bristles at 45° angle to gumline) to remove plaque from the gumline. Get regular cleanings and establish good habits at home. I will say, I have patients that do all the things and still accumulate tartar. Some faster than others.
@faithwilliams7978 I didn't say there was anything "wrong" with it. I just can't imagine swishing coconut oil for 30 minutes. It's much easier and less time-consuming to floss and brush for two minutes! Keep the mouth, teeth and gingiva plaque free! It's the root of all (mouth) evils!
Dr. Berg, what would we do without your videos! You are like my private physician. I cannot wait to make this today. Thank you so much! God bless you! 🙏🏻
I'm going to learn to make my own. Ihad to pull mine with pliers because the dentists here refuse to see me without a mask (for the five minutes i'm in the waiting room)
Best home made mouth wash: Add 2 tablespoons of black seeds and 2 tablespoons of whole cloves to 800 ml of water in a pot. Boil it covered for 5-10 minutes, no more than that. Keep it covered till it cools to prevent evaporation. Strain it, then add 150 ml of apple cider vinegar then add water till it reaches 1 liter. Trust me, this is the best mouth wash I have ever used. It should be used after brushing.
I'm 47 years old now go to the dentist every other year. Still never had a tooth ache or a cavity, or any dental work. They barely need to do any dental teeth cleaning, I'm just genetically lucky on this one.
@@pambaughman1579 I enjoy learning is why I watched the video. now I'm 49 years old. Still no cavities or dental work. Been blessed. I was actually raised on the continental divide where water flows north to Hudson Bay, and south to the gulf of Mexico. Grew up on a small farm drinking well water, no chemicals. Father only raises grass fed beef... myself I actually crave the well water..... I'm sure it's the minerals in it.... can't stand city water.... if fish can't live in it as is...... I won't drink it as far as water goes...
It was simple for me. I had so many dental issues in my 30's, 40's and 50's. Started keto and cut out carbs and sugar in my late 60's and the next time I visited my dentist for a cleaning there was almost no tartar and no sign of cavities. The last 5 cleanings have been the same. So when I was eating carbs and sugars, it didn't matter how often I flossed and brushed, I still had plaque buildup and cavities. Now it's gone done. Wish I'd known this 40 years ago.
I’m fed up since I was 15 I was told I have gum disease . I’m very diligent with cleaning . Flossing isn’t big over here , but I have being doing this for several years now. I spend the longest in the household cleaning my teeth yet I still have issues . I don’t get inflamed painful gums anymore . It’s just every time I visit the dentist she says it’s much better but book in in another 3 months . It’s just upsetting. She’s told me it’s most likely genetic since I’m doing everything she has told me and gargling a with a mouth wash for the gums (Corsodyl) Meanwhile my husband has discoloured teeth doesn’t spend so much time cleaning nor does he floss. He has a poor diet compared to me yet he has no teeth or gum issues ? So any ideas if I can do anything or is that it for me this is my life . Dentist visit every 3 months . I’m currently fasting the month, but outside of it 6 days a week I’m on keto
I always appreciate your vids, Doc! I've been able to solve many of my health issues over the last several years, ranging from muscle aches, digestive issues, depression and stiff knees! Keep up the great work you are surely a life saver!
@@xevenau Mostly supplementation based on his advice. Vitamin K complex and D3 are great for muscle stiffness, aches and stiff, crackling knees.

Check out his videos based on what ails you and try out his suggested methods. Good luck and good health!
I bought a bag of sauerkraut a few days ago, I’m trying to get into the habit of eating it frequently. Because the dental clinics told me I have moderate bone loss and I’m doing all I can to STOP it once and for all.
There are times I think we still live in the Dark Ages of medicine. Plaque doesn't require "scraping off" if it doesn't form in the first place; and brushing/flossing doesn't have much effect on plaque. I had an epiphany years ago that the key to eliminating plaque was to reduce the growth of bacteria which is absolutely necessary for it to form. We began rinsing our mouths thoroughly at bedtime with warm water mixed with Sodium Bicarbonate(food-grade baking soda) to create an environment hostile to the unfettered growth of bacteria by meddling with PH. We also began disinfecting toothbrushes after every use with hydrogen peroxide. We haven't had any issues with plaque or cavities since that time! It's amazing that such a small change in hygiene can have such a dramatic effect. But it's unconscionable that modern dentistry doesn't understand, or promote, proper hygiene. Edit: And get rid of commercial toothpaste that's loaded with Sodium Saccharin! That is, unless you want to promote bacterial growth and tooth decay while you sleep.
@@pammi100 We just rinse the toothbrush with water after each use, and then spray the bristles with hydrogen peroxide before returning it to its holder. And rinse with water immediately before using it again, although HP is often touted as an ingredient in toothpaste. The small brown spray bottles of hydrogen peroxide are cheap and easy to find.
@@Green-bp2lm Half a teaspoon mixed with a quarter cup of warm water. Swish this mixture in the mouth at bedtime for 15 seconds before spitting it out , and don't rinse it away afterwards.
Yes my grandma used to make tooth powder which had cloves. Cloves are home remedy for any slight dental pain. My Indian grandma used to tell me to keep clove oil bottle in my hostel luggage.
My teeth were literally rotting from the inside out. Several teeth simply fell apart while eating. I did some digging and read that long term studies found fluoride not only doesn't prevent tooth decay, but causes caries (along with other diseases like depression and Alzheimer's etc) with long term exposure. Apparently, you can't filter it out of your drinking water, but I stopped using tooth paste and started brushing my teeth with plain baking soda several years ago and so far haven't lost any more teeth. I just turned 60.
I used to have plaques when I go to see my dentist when cleaning my teeth. Ever since I used Dr berg’s recipe to brush my teeth a few times a week, my plaques are pretty much all gone! My dentist didn’t complain about the plaques any more! This recipe really WORKS! Thank you Dr berg! You are the best of the best! You do deserve a Nobel prize indeed! We all love Dr berg!
One thing I found to be excellent against plaque is CLAY toothpaste. It removes plaque but keeps the "good" biofilm on your teeth and greatly reduces tooth sensitivity. Just my 2 cents.
@@abdulqureshi5851 I'll be honest I don't know of specific sub-types of clay that may be used. I can tell you that the toothpaste I use is called "Gennadent Forte"; I've had great results with it and my teeth feel much stronger now (no more sensitivity issues for me). Edit: ...and yes, it really removes plaque! After 2-3 days of usage I've had obvious improvements.
Instead using all these useless alternatives. I would recommend to put dilute amount of H2SO4 in the Doctors already given Formula. I bet you would get a clean white teeth within a week. You won't even believe how awesome your teeth looks after 2 weeks.
My Grandmother brushed her teeth with baking soda her entire life. She used to smile for me & say "look, pretty white teeth & I've never had any cavities". Couldn't argue with that!😂
I've been making my own toothpaste for 10 years now and my teeth are amazing.. got my dentist looking into it herself.. I use a 1:1 ratio, 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup pink Himalayan salt,mix distilled water until paste, then add 10 drops of peppermint or any essential oil... AVOID FLUORIDE LIKE THE PLAGUE... that's a whole different rabbit hole
Yes for 30 yrs been using baking soda to brush my teeth also make up solution of salt and baking soda for mouth wash, now 67 teeth are same as a 25yr old according to hygienist. Also never had a root canal cause I had a tooth ache about 15yrs ago and just gargled with high salt/baking soda every 30 minutes after 2 days all pain gone, no problems since. Tooth paste is full of sweeteners which bacteria love, also causes morning breath, only use a dab in morning to brush teeth, then rinse with solution. Never too late to improve oral hygiene.
Bleeding gums is also a sign of diabetes. My dentist has correctly told several people they might be diabetic because they had bleeding gums with no visible problems with oral hygene. Turns out he was correct each time he suspected diabetes.
I had a lot of tartar build up along with gum diseases for several years. I never visited dentist in those years because I had been bombarded with negative views of dentists by my family that they’ll destroy the enamel of the teeth. The first time I went to the dentist was when I was 31, that was one of the best decisions I made. Right after the deep cleaning, my gums bleeding stopped. I have been up keeping my regular appointments and taking care of my teeth well by brushing and flossing every night
As a pharmacist I see a problem for this solution. Must be made everyday,new to be used once and fast. The reason for this is ascorbic acid is very fast oxidized.with contact with O2. So try not to store the solution,.
Thank goodness I’m doing something right. I love lemons, I eat them like an orange but usually squeeze 2kg at a time and put in IceCube and into freezer. Drop them in my sparkling water from morn till night.
I was privileged that my parents raised my siblings and I on the orchard with so many different fruits, vegetables, and animals like chickens, goats, and cows for raw milk and we just grazed on the orchard for the majority of our childhood. Looking back, I realize now how lucky we had been that my parents had given us the greatest gift of wholesome healthy life that came with endless adventures and organic experience as a child. My mom told me that I had no health or dental issue whatsoever but after we immigrated here, living on not so healthy lifestyle and food, I started having minor sickness, like cold and cavities. Growing up on the orchard organically had taught me where true healthy mind, body and value of hard work come from. No medicine can fix what nature cannot, there's always backfiring with modern medicine especially barbaric conventional practice of cutting off 'inflamed/infected' organs. We aren't lucky enough to be on the organic orchard as we had in the past but we do make sure to have plenty sunshine every day and vit C rich food and supplement if not accessible.
I do oil pulling with coconut oil, or sometimes just plain olive oil. My gums stop bleeding within a week, and when I stop the oil pulling my gums stay good for a few months after. They bleed heavily when I don't do it and nothing ever fixed the issue, but it's amazing how efficiently the oil heals them!!!
Hi, feel free to oil pull but the most important thing is to brush twice a day for two minutes and floss nightly. If you are doing this and using the correct technique, oil pulling is unnecessary, sincerely a dentist.
Me too - I had a thick, stubborn bit of plaque that always filled a small gap in my bottom two central incisors until the dentist scraped it out each time where upon it would build up again immediately - after a couple of weeks oil pulling the plaque started to crumble and came out on it's own and has never come back. Thanks for your remedy Dr Berg but a teaspoon of coconut oil is much easier for me. 🙂
@@MJforever5690 if you pull pull you don't have to floss. Oil Pulling works on your lymph system & pulls funk from your teeth. Spit in toilet then rinse with warm sea salt water then non flouride & cinnamon chewing stick... Or brush with plastic toothbrush.
I have always used sea salt and baking soda in my mouth wash and brush with it. My teeth feel great, and have that proper "slippery feel", but I am going to try adding Vit C and see how that works out. Before I learned to take better care of my teeth I had 2 root canals and my gums tend to be sensitive and bleed easy around them.
I use baking soda to replace commercial deodorant for few years now. It works even better than deodorant as it is more lasting even when doing heavy physical activities and I sweat a lot. I also took a pinch in case of acid reflux but I don't do this regularly.
As I had issues with plaque and even gum disease all I can tell you I've tried all of the herbs and stuff, nothing helped until I visited the dentist, had deep cleaning, removed wisdom teeth, and my routine is now brushing, flossing, water pick. I do have bone loss as I'm 47 but I still have all of my teeth and now they are spotless. If anything works like magic to feel your mouth clean is the mixture of salt, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. It makes the foam that works so much better than any mouth wash and adds to prevention. Cloves, turmeric, peppers, you should keep using for your food.
@@rredding I actually ordered K2 I do take 10000UI vit D and lots of other supplements. All those infections were when my immune system was weak and I changed the climate and had the vit D very low. Also rinsing with peroxide, baking soda and salt mixture is so good
@@Mzd455I believe you do the right thing. Always combine D3/K2 with a good form of Magnesium, but I assume you already do that. Do you have Zinc as a supplement as well? Maybe needless to say, it is important to combine Zinc with Copper, say 20-30 mg of Zinc with some 2 mg of Copper. In general, this is to avoid deficiency of Copper...
@@riyarajkumari773 Hygienist here, no it shouldn't. Your Hygienist will offer you anesthetic, and only do part of your mouth at a time so it's completely numb. If shots scare you, we have topical gel that numbs, or many many patients do just fine with nothing. Depends on you and how sensitive your teeth are. I do deep cleanings almost every day (for 23 years) and almost all of my patients have said it was way easier than they expected. Not everyone needs a deep cleaning though, only if you have calculus under your gums!

@@defeqel6537 Yes, I was thinking the same about the enamel. When I was younger I eat a lot of acidic things and I did lose some enamel. Nevertheless, this is a good idea to kill bad breath.

Doctors have to study out dated text books to learn and qualify in their trade. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if that is just how medicine evolved or if it is by design.
In order to get 3% peroxide you have to go to a herb or vitamin shop because the peroxide in the drug stores or grocery stores isn’t 3%. Thank you so much for these videos, you are the best!
Thank you so much for this video, this helped so much. Every time my mom is cutting onions or anything that includes vitamin C I grab a fingerful and eat it. Thanks again Eric!
Another fruit that packs in more vitamin C than an orange is pineapple. Having pineapple in any form can help boost your daily required amount of vitamin C. One cup of chopped pineapple pieces contains about 79 mg of vitamin C.
Great brushing formula. We were taught in nutrition class that refined sugar and vit C having the same base compound will fight each other to get into a cell and sugar always wins. Refined sugar is always bad. I get a lot of calcium build up on the back of my bottom teeth from saliva. Thank you for the info!
Hi, everyone. Just returned from the dentist who said I needed a scaling because my gums are inflamed. I brush twice daily and even applied baking soda. The dentist also claimed I had a high buildup of tartar. Perhaps I should increase my vitamin C because I don’t get enough of it. Yet something seems odd because if I am brushing and using baking soda regularly, then I shouldn’t be dealing with these issues. Would greatly appreciate the feedback, because I’m tired of having to make my dentist and her staff rich. Thank you.
You are just saving my health,, now onwards I am setting a specific time on a daily basis to watch and get key points from your videos , lots of love and prayers from Pakistan 💚💚💚💚
I'm always so amazed hiw they could pack so much into 45 minutes! Jonathan getting powers, John Henry and Natalie returning, General Lane's plan and sacrifice, AND the touching flashbacks. Wow!
I really appreciate you providing this information. When I was a heavy drinker, I neglected a lot of aspects of personal health and hygeine, including taking care of my teeth. I developed many cavities along with tartar and plaque build up. I started brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and use of xylitol gum consistently. Within a few weeks, my dental health improved massivley. However, I still have some cavities, tartar, and plaque. I will be trying some of these remedies. Thank you!
It is amazing how many benefits vitamin c actually has. It also helps with heart rhythm as I know from personal experience. I always buy the more expensive highly absorbable version not the cheapo ones.
@@nissiamor1321 I am in the UK and it is made by SOLGAR and called Ester-C plus 1000mg Vitamin C highly absorbable non acidic bioflavanoid complex. and a bottle of 90 capsules is twenty pounds sterling. I take two per day.
I told my dentist that my wife has had no new cavities ever since she started rinsing with salt/baking soda water after brushing (one year ago). It neutralizes the acid in the mouth and the salt cleans. He went silent and started pushing fluoride a few seconds later. He did not like what he heard. I bet he will try to convince her that her teeth are falling out of her head next time or lie that she has cavities. She won't be going back to him.
My dentist got very irritated when I said that there is no fluoride in my toothpaste. She said that I can't get a regular yearly check up because I don't take care of my teeth as is recommended. Finland
Wow Doc. Back to back home runs! Peppers are a MAJOR anti inflammatory, and packed with vitamin C. One pepper in particular, cayenne, is great for opening up nasal passages, and airways. It also has some great anti microbial properties of it's own. Thanks again Doc!

I haven't tried adding the water and ascorbic acid, but I've brushed with baking soda and peroxide for many years, and use only peroxide as a mouthwash. Despite my hereditarily bad teeth (multiple root canals and 6 crowns before switching to this method), since using this combo, I've had 3 dentists, in 2 states, comment that I have the strongest and healthiest teeth and gums they'd ever seen and ask what I did differently than others. They couldn't believe I was using straight peroxide, as it was contrary to what they'd been taught, but all 3 agreed it's obviously very effective.
Apparently you didn't take the time to watch his first video (Part 1) on this tartar control remedy, which he mentions in this video and has linked in the description. Give it a try.
Used 2 or more lemons everyday for 3 days. Plaque is completely gone now. Prior to this every morning or evening I can feel with my tongue a layer of plaque(bio-film I think)..but not any more. I saw on another video of Dr. Eric about how to prevent infections in the mouth to avoid plaque in the blood vessels. But one side effect with using too much lemon is my tooth became very sensitive after 3 days of Lemons overdose. With that said, it truly worked. So, a Big Thank you Dr. Eric Berg!
@@krna3347 If you have dental problems, the only way to fix it is to see a dentist. If it takes a specialist using a fine instrument to scrape it away, then anything that removes it by use of chemicals (organic or otherwise) is also going to wreck the enamel. I like Mr. Berg's nutrition videos but he can get a little irresponsible sometimes...
maybe if you mix in some baking soda to neutralize the acid, you should still get the same benefit, but maybe it will prevent the sensitivity that way.
I'm glad you made this video. Knowing that vitamin c turns into hydrogen peroxide on some level is very interesting. I have been using and recommending a few drops of H2O2 in the mouth while using baking soda toothpaste in order to keep plaque to a minimum and fresh and breath. In general it promotes great oral health. Some people may feel a sensitivity to it at first like me and I did it just 3 days a week to start. Now it's a daily and I haven't needed to see a dentist for a cleaning in just about a decade. Even my GF who was a dental hygienist was shocked at how little calc I had when she looked. If you stop to think about it, tooth whitening products have a combination usually of baking soda and peroxide and gel form. However, mixed with your toothpaste it will also gets between your teeth and benefits your tongue, gums and cheeks killing bacteria and other germs.
My dentist told me to take all b with c when i was a kid. I had horrible gums when i was a kid. Bleeding all the time. It fixed it. Pretty impressive recovery.
Xylitol toothpaste, without flouride has worked wonders for me. It changes the Bio film in the mouth. Native Americans used the birch tree bark to chew on, it has been found that the birch tree has natural xylitol.
True. I've just booked an entire bloodwork for vitamins, minerals, hormones etc to see what my levels are. Everyone should do that every few years at least.

Hey there! Thank you for the video, Dr. Berg! I have a question on a similar topic. Could you make a detailed video on tonsils and how to cure (if it's possible) chronic tonsillitis. My guess is one should be on keto, include raw garlic daily and most importantly do prolonged fasting every month, because autophagy must be the key. Anyway, any advice from a professional like you is highly appreciated. Cheers from a sane part of Russia!
Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. For now, please see the videos here: ruclips.net/user/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=tonsils -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I had severe tonsillitis a few years back. I took some clean fresh ginger, chewed and swallowed it even though it was very painful and burned. I felt so much better in just a couple of hours. The next day my tonsils went back to their normal size.
I would start with using your index finger to "express" and massage your tonsils frequently. Really get in there and dig around the back of your mouth with your fingers, use Listerine and/or salt and baking soda, and clear out all the gunk and debris. Keep them clean, and gargle with warm saline (salt and baking soda) several times a day.
The Chili Pepper is the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Some folks do NOT react well to nightshade plants!
Acid could mess with your enamel. Much better, do it with buffered vitamin C - sodium ascorbate. And use waterpik to reach areas under gum and in between teeth. Good luck.
They taught us in schools back in the 80s that vitamin C was critical to gum health and deprivation of it caused scurvy. Are you sure you went to school AND paid attention?
@@Beef_it_to_be_fit Don't be silly..They didn't teach us as much as Dr Berg has done back in my time - in the early 00's...I had no idea Vitamin C had more roles to play in the body, not just prevent scruvy..I'm sure that everyone who went to School was taught about scruvy at some point.
@@robinpresleywoodward They taught us in history class that between the 16th and 18th century sailors died due to a pandemic of scruvy due to them not having enough fresh food supplies. And, the pandemic only subsided once they started eating Vitamin C rich foods...I must admit my wording in my first post wasn't the best, made you's think nobody spoke about Vitamin C in my school. I will change my original post slightly.
Im going to eat more fruits and vegetables increase it more for me and my kids thanks Dr berg i got bad teeth, bleeding gums and my children have allergies
You are the content creator I want to be involved with. You understand how to speak to an audience. You are not cheesy. You assume the the viewer is intelligent. I would like to be involved with helping your endeavors grow if I can. This is a great video. You are an excellent instructor.
Never knew the importance of Vitamin C for oral health! Thank you for this video. As a kid I always had bleeding gums. I was definitely Vitamin C deficient. As an adult I’ve been trying to prioritize my health. I make my own fresh juices daily. Lots of lemons, limes, cucumbers, celery, beets, oranges, apples, & pineapples. Haven’t had any oral issues since 🙌 Will definitely try your baking soda, warm water, hydrogen peroxide & ascorbic acid combo!
Ok now, it''s maybe too early to tell since it's only been a couple of months but... this is the ultimate game changer in oral health! Just today I removed a small block of tartar that was bridging between my low incisives. My only concern would be for the exterior layer of the teeth (the enamel): will it get thinner with usage? This said: thanks, and a LOT dr Berg!
I am always sharing your videos with my family and friends. You are my go-to for health information. Thank you for such well researched and reliable information. Love you Dr. Berg!

Pls give us more details. Did you use the full half cup of solution? It seems a lot of liquid. And how did the ascorbic acid come? In a powder form or as lemon juice? What did you do for the ascorbic acid?
When I added the ascorbic acid to the formula it turned yellow after 3 days..Is it still ok? Useable? Does the formula ever go rancid? How long can I expect one solution to last?
My solution became yellowish after a day. Does it happen? The liquid is very fluid which makes it difficult to brush with it. Is that the same with you?
If you want to remove plaque and prevent calculus build up simply brush your teeth twice a day and floss every night and get 6 monthly cleans. I can assure you as a dentist, there is nothing more you need to do. Periodontal disease is ultimately caused by bacteria, there maybe other systemic factors that can INCREASE YOUR RISK, but ultimately it is the bacteria causing the disease. All you need to do is remove the bacteria. This is THE MOST important aspect of oral health. Remove the bacteria with a toothbrush & floss!
Go to the dentist and get a cleaning every month? I'll go with Doctor B on this one. I'll get better and quicker results and I won't be shelling out money to people like you every month for something I can do a lot cheaper at home on my own. Thanks but no thanks!
That's over simplifying. I can't believe someone educated would write such statement. Teeth problems are an expression of someone's overall bad health. Brushing helps but it is not the main issue. Dentists are essentially surgeons, not health experts. I've come to this conclusion unfortunately.
@@MonsieurC64 Hi I’m a dentist too and actually it is not possible for a clean tooth to decay or for clean gums to get periodontitis. It is that simple. This is demonstrated by sterile rat studies and is how we know that cleaning the teeth and gums is the most important thing to prevent oral disease. Other systemic problems and diet can increase the risk of disease but there still has to be bacteria present.
Fluoride is poison and now even natural toothpaste has caargeanen in them! Dentist yell at me every time for brushing with hard brush and not using or drinking Fluoride! Yet my teeth never have to be scraped, I never get cavities and I only use coconut oil, fast and eat my veggies!
Thanks for this updated video! I can fully attest to this. 3 months ago my teeth and gums were bleeding sore... multiple teeth lossening... no brushing or mouthwash por ANYTHING I was doing helped. Then I came across your video on teeth and cod liver oil and also vitamin C (several videos I think) and started implementing it. It took about moth to come around completely... but in the first 2 weeks progress was noticeable and encouraging! I REALLY did not want to go back to my poisener... I mean dentist... and get more mercury and fluoride. I knew toxins in my mouth wasn't the "cure". So long story short, about a month ago one molar that had been loose for almost a year came out... Sounds bad I know... it was... but... It was the one that was HALF mercury fillings. That was the last straw, after that my mouth has been in excellent health! Gums are tight, no loose teeth, no sore or bleeding gums. So, I implemented cod liver oil for omega 3's and the like... but most importantly, I went from taking 6 -10 1000 mg ascorbic acid a day (which became less and less effective over time) and started making the lemon blueberry juice mix (whole lemon and blueberries in water blended (yes peel on)) as well as eating more salads (ESPECIALLY with raw peppers, eating more raw sauerkraut and kimchi etc etc. Basically balanced the Vitamin C in my system back out. With all the food and health changes I do still take a few ascorbic a day... but only 4 at 500 mg. I know a little long winded, but restoring health properly is a journey... this is a small chapter in mine. :) THANKS SO MUCH DR BERG! Your information truly saved my teeth and health!
@@abdulqureshi5851 both powdered and tablet.... update today, have not used ANY ascorbic supplementation for 2 months now... no side effects... gums and teeth still good.
I brush with coconut oil and activated charcoal with a pinch of baking soda. My teeth feel super slick and clean like I just had a dental cleaning. I also rinse with full strength hydrogen peroxide. No more plaque or bad breath 💗
1:12 Why is vitamin C so important? If you don't have enough vitamin C, you cannot make collagen. Vitamin C is essential to make collagen.
1:50 A big indicator to know you're vitamin C deficient is when you get bleeding gums. Anything like gingivitis or a periodontal disease is usually related in some way to a vitamin C deficiency.
2:05 Sugar feeds the bacteria that develop acids that cause cavities, inflamed gum tissue and plaquing and tartar.
2:20 What is tartar? Tartar is biofilms which is colonies of microbes that have band together and they develop these calcium shelters to hide from your immune system.
3:24 Without vitamin C you get really bad breath because of overgrowth of bacteria. Vitamin C suppresses pathogens including viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus, mold and of course biofilms.
3:40 Vitamin C does the following:
• Acts an an antihistamine
• Makes active folate
• Helps converting cholesterol into bile salts
• Helps converting tryptophan into serotonin
• Helps converting dopamine into epinephrine
• Helps making adrenal hormone steroids like cortisol
• Fights off infections
• Decreases the duration of infection
• Increases your resistance to infection
5:00 The ships develop these things called barnacles (collection of organisms) underneath them which makes them heavier and more resistant to friction hence needing more fuel to travel. They tried so many things to get rid these barnacles/biofilms. In 1990 this sailor had this brilliant idea when he was eating a sandwich that had red hot chili peppers. He wondered if chili peppers would kill off these barnacles. He found out that indeed they effectively kill off these microorganisms, so he developed a type of paint using chili peppers and it worked great.
6:21 Chili Peppers not only have certain active compounds that kill biofilms, but they're also very very high in vitamin C.
6:31 A byproduct of vitamin C is hydrogen peroxide which is another anti-biofilm chemical. In fact, your body makes hydrogen peroxide to protect against too many biofilms.
6:50 The top remedy for tartar:
• Baking Soda: 1/4 teaspoon
• Water: 1/2 cup
• 3% Hydrogen Peroxide: 1/4 teaspoon
• Non-GMO Ascorbic Acid: 1/4 teaspoon
7:42 Mix them all together and brush your teeth with it once a day a pit out the material. You're going to have one of the most powerful anti-biofilm compounds around. You can also add mints, peppermints, clove as a great essential oil.
8:10 The best foods for healthy teeth and gums:
• Peppers: red, hot, mild, green
• Green vegetables
• Limes and lemons
• Sauerkraut

YOUR DENTISTCWAS PRIBABKY AFRAID, YOU WOULDN'T NEED THEM ANYMORE...😂 SOME DRS. BANK ON PATIENTS BEING IGNORANT.
Dentist here. Biofilms that form on teeth are not only natural and normal but play a key role in maintaining oral health, preventing decay, and periodontal problems. The goal is not to just remove bacteria out of your mouth (i.e. antiseptic mouthwashes can cause acute rises in blood pressure as the bacteria in the mouth produce nitric oxide, a vasodilator, vital for vascular health), rather to have an appropriate oral microbiota balance, which is disrupted by things like high carb/sugar diets and mouth breathing.
The biofilm has two layers. First is ,, good boy ,, protective
one , second is ,, bad boy ,, harmful but until moment dentist is not messing with harsh cleaning, first layer of biofilm is protecting teeth.
A retired dentist here: you forgot another function of plaque in the mouth: ensure a high income to dentists.
An arrow in the head was also quite normal for people a couple thousand years ago. For the rest of the community: eliminate added sugars and consequently oral and coronary and brain plaque.

If anyone wondering, Red Bell pepper has the highest amount of Vitamin C. (Twice as much as Capsicum). You can even tell by taste! Yellow and Orange come second in nutrients. Then comes the ordinary Capsicum, that's often the cheapest, but with the highest shelf life. Initially, all are green but they change color on ripening depending on time of harvest.
CAVEAT: Peppers are a "Nightshade" so should be avoided by those with autoimmune conditions!!......Alkaloids, and specifically glyco-alkaloids, are the culprit.
There are quite a few foods, especially wild fruits and berries with much higher vitamin c than bell peppers. Like camu berry, and bell peppers are very high in vitamin c per weight, but won't be able to eat more than few hundred grams of bell peppers but you can easily smash a kilogram or two of mangoes or oranges giving you significantly more vitamin c per day.
My dentist never gave me any guidance, I didn't realize this could've been a lack of something only an excess of something. So I appreciate it!

I asked many of my dentists, what is causing this tartar buildup, and they always suddenly stopped talking or said something like drinking too much coffee could be causing it. Thanks for digging further ito this subject. It is not only extremely interesting, but also has practical value. Thanks Doc!
You're asking dentist how not to visit them, they'll never tell you the truth
Tartar build up is dental plaque that has hardened on the teeth and can not be brushed off- it has to be scraped off (usually by hygienist). Dental plaque is a sticky film that forms on the teeth, which is made of bacteria mixed in with saliva and acid (bacteria produces acid when we eat starchy food) and some minerals found in our saliva. Everyone gets tartar buildup, but some get more than others depending on their home care such as how well you’re brushing and flossing. And also depends on the content of your saliva because some people have more minerals than others which causes the plaque to harden more. Hope this helps
I began having terrible tartar buildup while taking a new calcium supplement. I had never had such a problem before. I quit taking the supplement and replaced it with dietary sources and I added K2 to my diet (to improve calcium absorption) and the tartar has stopped. My hygienist even commented about it.
@@dana7340 calcium is actually the main mineral responsible for tartar formation so this makes sense!
@Sherine abboud interesting. I was diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism 4 years ago (result of damage from thyroid surgery.) I take meds for it but find my calcium levels are regularly unbalanced. I've also noticed that sometimes I get deposits between my teeth rapidly, even if I'm flossing daily. So it sounds like it's tartar caused by (excess) serum calcium levels. I also have developed tinnitus and I put it to the ENT specialist it's probably connected to calcium deposits in the inner ear. He said he was going to research it as wasn't aware of the crystal composition! I'm having an MRI this week so he can see what's going on in the inner ear as referred for vertigo.
My grandfather never had a flu or cold in his life. I noticed it and asked him why. He told me he had lemon juice every morning. Also, when he later was in a nursing home, he and another resident refused the flu shot and were the only two who did not get the flu, and 12 vaxed residents not only got the flu shot but died from that flu. After my grandfather's death, I wondered if orhers had a family member who never had a flu or cold in their lives.

Dental hygienist here... plaque is the white film that you can scrape off your teeth with your fingernail. If this soft plaque is allowed to remain on your teeth, it can begin to calcify forming tartar, also known as calculus. Plaque and tartar are two different things, however both harbor bacteria and can cause inflammation (red/inflamed/bleeding gums) Plaque and tartar can accumulate above the gumline or below the gumline and in between teeth. This is why flossing in between teeth and UNDER the gumline is important. (So many patients don't know you can do this until I show them proper flossing technique) You can remove plaque at home but you cant remove tartar at home, and requires a hygienist to "scale" your teeth to remove the mineralized deposits. This is done at routine cleanings. To reduce inflammation of gums (gingivitis) you don't have to oil pull (gross) or brush with this or that. You can simply brush with a wet toothbrush using a PROPER brushing technique (bristles at 45° angle to gumline) to remove plaque from the gumline. Get regular cleanings and establish good habits at home. I will say, I have patients that do all the things and still accumulate tartar. Some faster than others.
Thank you
Fluoride does absolutely nothing for teeth, and is classified as a poison. Do you still have your patients use it?
Nothing wrong with oil pulling. I love it, and it works. I used to think it was gross, but I quickly acclimated.
@chadbear8759 did I say anything about fluoride in my statement?
@faithwilliams7978 I didn't say there was anything "wrong" with it. I just can't imagine swishing coconut oil for 30 minutes. It's much easier and less time-consuming to floss and brush for two minutes! Keep the mouth, teeth and gingiva plaque free! It's the root of all (mouth) evils!
Dr. Berg, what would we do without your videos! You are like my private physician. I cannot wait to make this today. Thank you so much! God bless you! 🙏🏻
No problem. Thanks for watching my videos. Stay safe!
You wrote this 8 months ago. I really would appreciate how things are going and what you do to introduce the ascorbic acid. What form does it come in?
I started brushing with baking soda from a previous video and I must say, my teeth look great! Thanks for that.
Fantastic! Most welcome
My dentals are really bad. I lost several of my teeth and this is killing my confidence so much.
Get false
I'm going to learn to make my own. Ihad to pull mine with pliers because the dentists here refuse to see me without a mask (for the five minutes i'm in the waiting room)
Best home made mouth wash:
Add 2 tablespoons of black seeds and 2 tablespoons of whole cloves to 800 ml of water in a pot.
Boil it covered for 5-10 minutes, no more than that.
Keep it covered till it cools to prevent evaporation.
Strain it, then add 150 ml of apple cider vinegar then add water till it reaches 1 liter.
Trust me, this is the best mouth wash I have ever used. It should be used after brushing.
I'm 47 years old now go to the dentist every other year. Still never had a tooth ache or a cavity, or any dental work. They barely need to do any dental teeth cleaning, I'm just genetically lucky on this one.
That’s so cool you are lucky but then why did you look up this video? Just curious.
@@pambaughman1579 I enjoy learning is why I watched the video. now I'm 49 years old. Still no cavities or dental work. Been blessed. I was actually raised on the continental divide where water flows north to Hudson Bay, and south to the gulf of Mexico. Grew up on a small farm drinking well water, no chemicals. Father only raises grass fed beef... myself I actually crave the well water..... I'm sure it's the minerals in it.... can't stand city water.... if fish can't live in it as is...... I won't drink it as far as water goes...
It was simple for me. I had so many dental issues in my 30's, 40's and 50's. Started keto and cut out carbs and sugar in my late 60's and the next time I visited my dentist for a cleaning there was almost no tartar and no sign of cavities. The last 5 cleanings have been the same. So when I was eating carbs and sugars, it didn't matter how often I flossed and brushed, I still had plaque buildup and cavities. Now it's gone done. Wish I'd known this 40 years ago.
Stop getting dental cleanings . Save some cash .
Why ? I thought removing the plaque helped keep the gums more healthy
@@geoffchandler8684 Yes, but better not to get any plaque buildup in the first place.
I’m fed up since I was
15 I was told I have gum disease . I’m very diligent with cleaning . Flossing isn’t big over here , but I have being doing this for several years now. I spend the longest in the household cleaning my teeth yet I still have issues . I don’t get inflamed painful gums anymore . It’s just every time I visit the dentist she says it’s much better but book in in another 3 months . It’s just upsetting. She’s told me it’s most likely genetic since I’m doing everything she has told me and gargling a with a mouth wash for the gums (Corsodyl)
Meanwhile my husband has discoloured teeth doesn’t spend so much time cleaning nor does he floss. He has a poor diet compared to me yet he has no teeth or gum issues ?
So any ideas if I can do anything or is that it for me this is my life . Dentist visit every 3 months .
I’m currently fasting the month, but outside of it 6 days a week I’m on keto
Do you eat fruit?
I always appreciate your vids, Doc! I've been able to solve many of my health issues over the last several years, ranging from muscle aches, digestive issues, depression and stiff knees!
Keep up the great work you are surely a life saver!
What did you end up doing?
@@xevenau Mostly supplementation based on his advice. Vitamin K complex and D3 are great for muscle stiffness, aches and stiff, crackling knees. Takes months to resolve with supplementation using those vitamins, just so you know. Digestive issues resolved mostly with Betaine HCL. Depression mitigated with better sleep and B vitamin complex. Check out his videos based on what ails you and try out his suggested methods.
Good luck and good health!
@@Wyndstrom 🙏🏻
How did you sort the depression if you don't mind me asking?I love his videos too,he is one of the very best on RUclips in my opinion
What helped your stiff knees?!
I bought a bag of sauerkraut a few days ago, I’m trying to get into the habit of eating it frequently. Because the dental clinics told me I have moderate bone loss and I’m doing all I can to STOP it once and for all.
There are times I think we still live in the Dark Ages of medicine. Plaque doesn't require "scraping off" if it doesn't form in the first place; and brushing/flossing doesn't have much effect on plaque.
I had an epiphany years ago that the key to eliminating plaque was to reduce the growth of bacteria which is absolutely necessary for it to form. We began rinsing our mouths thoroughly at bedtime with warm water mixed with Sodium Bicarbonate(food-grade baking soda) to create an environment hostile to the unfettered growth of bacteria by meddling with PH. We also began disinfecting toothbrushes after every use with hydrogen peroxide. We haven't had any issues with plaque or cavities since that time! It's amazing that such a small change in hygiene can have such a dramatic effect. But it's unconscionable that modern dentistry doesn't understand, or promote, proper hygiene.
Edit: And get rid of commercial toothpaste that's loaded with Sodium Saccharin! That is, unless you want to promote bacterial growth and tooth decay while you sleep.
Thanks. Please can you explain how to clean brushes daily with the hydrogen peroxide
@@pammi100 We just rinse the toothbrush with water after each use, and then spray the bristles with hydrogen peroxide before returning it to its holder. And rinse with water immediately before using it again, although HP is often touted as an ingredient in toothpaste. The small brown spray bottles of hydrogen peroxide are cheap and easy to find.
@@mikerevendale4810 Thank you ! 😁
How much baking soda do you put and for how long do you rinse
@@Green-bp2lm Half a teaspoon mixed with a quarter cup of warm water. Swish this mixture in the mouth at bedtime for 15 seconds before spitting it out , and don't rinse it away afterwards.
Yes my grandma used to make tooth powder which had cloves. Cloves are home remedy for any slight dental pain. My Indian grandma used to tell me to keep clove oil bottle in my hostel luggage.
My teeth were literally rotting from the inside out. Several teeth simply fell apart while eating. I did some digging and read that long term studies found fluoride not only doesn't prevent tooth decay, but causes caries (along with other diseases like depression and Alzheimer's etc) with long term exposure. Apparently, you can't filter it out of your drinking water, but I stopped using tooth paste and started brushing my teeth with plain baking soda several years ago and so far haven't lost any more teeth. I just turned 60.
"Zero Water" filter pitchers filter most flouride out btw. Not 100% but still a lot.
Distilling water removes all nasties
I used to have plaques when I go to see my dentist when cleaning my teeth. Ever since I used Dr berg’s recipe to brush my teeth a few times a week, my plaques are pretty much all gone! My dentist didn’t complain about the plaques any more! This recipe really WORKS! Thank you Dr berg! You are the best of the best! You do deserve a Nobel prize indeed! We all love Dr berg!
Interesting side note on the barnacles and chilli paint. You learn something new every week with the Doc.
One thing I found to be excellent against plaque is CLAY toothpaste. It removes plaque but keeps the "good" biofilm on your teeth and greatly reduces tooth sensitivity. Just my 2 cents.
what kind of clay would u recommend?
@@abdulqureshi5851 I'll be honest I don't know of specific sub-types of clay that may be used. I can tell you that the toothpaste I use is called "Gennadent Forte"; I've had great results with it and my teeth feel much stronger now (no more sensitivity issues for me).
Edit: ...and yes, it really removes plaque! After 2-3 days of usage I've had obvious improvements.
@@vpalos thank you
@@vpalos hello. do you know of a way for me to order it from Romania to Slovakia, where I live, please? I can't find it here :
Instead using all these useless alternatives. I would recommend to put dilute amount of H2SO4 in the Doctors already given Formula. I bet you would get a clean white teeth within a week. You won't even believe how awesome your teeth looks after 2 weeks.
Dr. Berg is a genius. Yet another amazing video. Props to the editor.
@@googlelord1678 ssshhhh. The adults are talking. Go brush your teeth.

DR. BERG YOUR "SOLUTIONS" TO HEALTH PROBLEMS REALLY WORK. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
My Grandmother brushed her teeth with baking soda her entire life. She used to smile for me & say "look, pretty white teeth & I've never had any cavities". Couldn't argue with that!😂
Yeah it's good it cut down the acid in ur system alkalizing ur teeth cuz alot is from ur ph levels
I've been making my own toothpaste for 10 years now and my teeth are amazing.. got my dentist looking into it herself.. I use a 1:1 ratio, 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup pink Himalayan salt,mix distilled water until paste, then add 10 drops of peppermint or any essential oil... AVOID FLUORIDE LIKE THE PLAGUE... that's a whole different rabbit hole
Yes for 30 yrs been using baking soda to brush my teeth also make up solution of salt and baking soda for mouth wash, now 67 teeth are same as a 25yr old according to hygienist. Also never had a root canal cause I had a tooth ache about 15yrs ago and just gargled with high salt/baking soda every 30 minutes after 2 days all pain gone, no problems since. Tooth paste is full of sweeteners which bacteria love, also causes morning breath, only use a dab in morning to brush teeth, then rinse with solution. Never too late to improve oral hygiene.
Thank you all who gave their tips ❤
Baking soda. Tears up my gums and irritates them
wheat grass powder makes a huge difference also. I use it like a mouth wash and its been a life saver
What has it done for you? Do you rinse with it after every time you brush?
@@be-happy yes just use it like mouth wash. cleans your mouth and teeth incredibly well
How much and how long u keep in mouth as a mouth wash plz
Bleeding gums is also a sign of diabetes. My dentist has correctly told several people they might be diabetic because they had bleeding gums with no visible problems with oral hygene. Turns out he was correct each time he suspected diabetes.
Mr Berg is a blessing to me and the entire globe.
Which is round
Dr
I had a lot of tartar build up along with gum diseases for several years. I never visited dentist in those years because I had been bombarded with negative views of dentists by my family that they’ll destroy the enamel of the teeth. The first time I went to the dentist was when I was 31, that was one of the best decisions I made. Right after the deep cleaning, my gums bleeding stopped. I have been up keeping my regular appointments and taking care of my teeth well by brushing and flossing every night
@@hatchett999ify it's not just brushing your teeth it's brushing your teeth properly
@@hatchett999ify It's also flossing
@@niicolee06
I love preventative dentistry.
@@hatchett999ify all you had to do was follow that damn train
As a pharmacist I see a problem for this solution. Must be made everyday,new to be used once and fast. The reason for this is ascorbic acid is very fast oxidized.with contact with O2. So try not to store the solution,.
Thank goodness I’m doing something right.
I love lemons, I eat them like an orange but usually squeeze 2kg at a time and put in IceCube and into freezer. Drop them in my sparkling water from morn till night.
I was privileged that my parents raised my siblings and I on the orchard with so many different fruits, vegetables, and animals like chickens, goats, and cows for raw milk and we just grazed on the orchard for the majority of our childhood. Looking back, I realize now how lucky we had been that my parents had given us the greatest gift of wholesome healthy life that came with endless adventures and organic experience as a child. My mom told me that I had no health or dental issue whatsoever but after we immigrated here, living on not so healthy lifestyle and food, I started having minor sickness, like cold and cavities. Growing up on the orchard organically had taught me where true healthy mind, body and value of hard work come from. No medicine can fix what nature cannot, there's always backfiring with modern medicine especially barbaric conventional practice of cutting off 'inflamed/infected' organs.
We aren't lucky enough to be on the organic orchard as we had in the past but we do make sure to have plenty sunshine every day and vit C rich food and supplement if not accessible.
I do oil pulling with coconut oil, or sometimes just plain olive oil. My gums stop bleeding within a week, and when I stop the oil pulling my gums stay good for a few months after. They bleed heavily when I don't do it and nothing ever fixed the issue, but it's amazing how efficiently the oil heals them!!!
Hi, feel free to oil pull but the most important thing is to brush twice a day for two minutes and floss nightly. If you are doing this and using the correct technique, oil pulling is unnecessary, sincerely a dentist.
@@MJforever5690 i agree
Me too - I had a thick, stubborn bit of plaque that always filled a small gap in my bottom two central incisors until the dentist scraped it out each time where upon it would build up again immediately - after a couple of weeks oil pulling the plaque started to crumble and came out on it's own and has never come back. Thanks for your remedy Dr Berg but a teaspoon of coconut oil is much easier for me. 🙂
@@MJforever5690 if you pull pull you don't have to floss. Oil Pulling works on your lymph system & pulls funk from your teeth. Spit in toilet then rinse with warm sea salt water then non flouride & cinnamon chewing stick... Or brush with plastic toothbrush.
@@MJforever5690
Did you know a dentist invented cotton Candy?
So. Yeah. Thanks person who claims they’re a dentist in yt comments.
I have always used sea salt and baking soda in my mouth wash and brush with it. My teeth feel great, and have that proper "slippery feel", but I am going to try adding Vit C and see how that works out. Before I learned to take better care of my teeth I had 2 root canals and my gums tend to be sensitive and bleed easy around them.
I use baking soda to replace commercial deodorant for few years now. It works even better than deodorant as it is more lasting even when doing heavy physical activities and I sweat a lot.
I also took a pinch in case of acid reflux but I don't do this regularly.
I don’t get it- is he crushing up the tablet to brush with it?
Please do not do this you will completely strip away your enamel.
Best to get those removed
@@MJforever5690 not really
I found this very helpful and ditched the mouthwash for your formula. Wow what a difference just one month in and I can see a big difference.
As I had issues with plaque and even gum disease all I can tell you I've tried all of the herbs and stuff, nothing helped until I visited the dentist, had deep cleaning, removed wisdom teeth, and my routine is now brushing, flossing, water pick. I do have bone loss as I'm 47 but I still have all of my teeth and now they are spotless. If anything works like magic to feel your mouth clean is the mixture of salt, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. It makes the foam that works so much better than any mouth wash and adds to prevention. Cloves, turmeric, peppers, you should keep using for your food.
BONELOSS.. Do your own research about Vit D3, Vit K2, Magnesium and Boron. 💯👌🏻
@@rredding I actually ordered K2 I do take 10000UI vit D and lots of other supplements. All those infections were when my immune system was weak and I changed the climate and had the vit D very low. Also rinsing with peroxide, baking soda and salt mixture is so good
@@Mzd455I believe you do the right thing. Always combine D3/K2 with a good form of Magnesium, but I assume you already do that.
Do you have Zinc as a supplement as well? Maybe needless to say, it is important to combine Zinc with Copper, say 20-30 mg of Zinc with some 2 mg of Copper. In general, this is to avoid deficiency of Copper...
Does that deep cleaning hurts???
@@riyarajkumari773 Hygienist here, no it shouldn't. Your Hygienist will offer you anesthetic, and only do part of your mouth at a time so it's completely numb. If shots scare you, we have topical gel that numbs, or many many patients do just fine with nothing. Depends on you and how sensitive your teeth are. I do deep cleanings almost every day (for 23 years) and almost all of my patients have said it was way easier than they expected.
Not everyone needs a deep cleaning though, only if you have calculus under your gums!
Timing couldn’t be more perfect for dental/oral health video. I needed this guidance for my daughters oral issues. Thank you dr. Berg. You are great. Thank you from Canada. 🇨🇦 🍁
This sounds like a good way to lose your tooth enamel. It's better to fix your diet (ditch carbs) than to try any hacks like this.
@@defeqel6537 Yes, I was thinking the same about the enamel. When I was younger I eat a lot of acidic things and I did lose some enamel. Nevertheless, this is a good idea to kill bad breath.
The scary thing about listening to Dr. Berg is that I'd listen to him over any Dr./Specialist; if I had a serious ailment, he'd be my 1st, 2nd & 3rd opinion!!!
how is that scary,,, the doctors and the medication and surgery is scary,,,
She/he means it not the literal scary but scary of trusting him. Because he makes good content.
Doctors have to study out dated text books to learn and qualify in their trade. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if that is just how medicine evolved or if it is by design.

ibbought from wal mart and its 3 percent
Thank you so much for this video, this helped so much. Every time my mom is cutting onions or anything that includes vitamin C I grab a fingerful and eat it. Thanks again Eric!
Another fruit that packs in more vitamin C than an orange is pineapple. Having pineapple in any form can help boost your daily required amount of vitamin C. One cup of chopped pineapple pieces contains about 79 mg of vitamin C.
Great brushing formula. We were taught in nutrition class that refined sugar and vit C having the same base compound will fight each other to get into a cell and sugar always wins. Refined sugar is always bad. I get a lot of calcium build up on the back of my bottom teeth from saliva. Thank you for the info!
Hi, everyone. Just returned from the dentist who said I needed a scaling because my gums are inflamed. I brush twice daily and even applied baking soda. The dentist also claimed I had a high buildup of tartar. Perhaps I should increase my vitamin C because I don’t get enough of it. Yet something seems odd because if I am brushing and using baking soda regularly, then I shouldn’t be dealing with these issues. Would greatly appreciate the feedback, because I’m tired of having to make my dentist and her staff rich. Thank you.
I think you need to listen to this video again. Baking soda plus brushing isn't the formula
You are just saving my health,, now onwards I am setting a specific time on a daily basis to watch and get key points from your videos , lots of love and prayers from Pakistan 💚💚💚💚
I'm always so amazed hiw they could pack so much into 45 minutes! Jonathan getting powers, John Henry and Natalie returning, General Lane's plan and sacrifice, AND the touching flashbacks. Wow!
I really appreciate you providing this information. When I was a heavy drinker, I neglected a lot of aspects of personal health and hygeine, including taking care of my teeth. I developed many cavities along with tartar and plaque build up. I started brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and use of xylitol gum consistently. Within a few weeks, my dental health improved massivley. However, I still have some cavities, tartar, and plaque. I will be trying some of these remedies. Thank you!
It is amazing how many benefits vitamin c actually has. It also helps with heart rhythm as I know from personal experience. I always buy the more expensive highly absorbable version not the cheapo ones.
What brand of Vitamin C do you use?
@@nissiamor1321 I am in the UK and it is made by SOLGAR and called Ester-C plus 1000mg Vitamin C highly absorbable non acidic bioflavanoid complex. and a bottle of 90 capsules is twenty pounds sterling. I take two per day.
I told my dentist that my wife has had no new cavities ever since she started rinsing with salt/baking soda water after brushing (one year ago). It neutralizes the acid in the mouth and the salt cleans. He went silent and started pushing fluoride a few seconds later. He did not like what he heard. I bet he will try to convince her that her teeth are falling out of her head next time or lie that she has cavities. She won't be going back to him.
How much salt, baking soda and water does she use?

Wow Doc. Back to back home runs! Peppers are a MAJOR anti inflammatory, and packed with vitamin C. One pepper in particular, cayenne, is great for opening up nasal passages, and airways. It also has some great anti microbial properties of it's own. Thanks again Doc!

I haven't tried adding the water and ascorbic acid, but I've brushed with baking soda and peroxide for many years, and use only peroxide as a mouthwash. Despite my hereditarily bad teeth (multiple root canals and 6 crowns before switching to this method), since using this combo, I've had 3 dentists, in 2 states, comment that I have the strongest and healthiest teeth and gums they'd ever seen and ask what I did differently than others. They couldn't believe I was using straight peroxide, as it was contrary to what they'd been taught, but all 3 agreed it's obviously very effective.
could you share your recipe for baking;soda or peroxide mouth wash? thank you
Lisa H
Yes. Please share. I was told that straight hydrogen peroxide would destroy the enamel. Idk.
Did you mix water and peroxide?
Oil pulling (use virgin coconut oil).
I'm actually surprised you didn't mention vitamin K2. I've seen a reduction in plague build up and my teeth feel less sensitive.
Apparently you didn't take the time to watch his first video (Part 1) on this tartar control remedy, which he mentions in this video and has linked in the description. Give it a try.
Used 2 or more lemons everyday for 3 days. Plaque is completely gone now. Prior to this every morning or evening I can feel with my tongue a layer of plaque(bio-film I think)..but not any more. I saw on another video of Dr. Eric about how to prevent infections in the mouth to avoid plaque in the blood vessels. But one side effect with using too much lemon is my tooth became very sensitive after 3 days of Lemons overdose. With that said, it truly worked. So, a Big Thank you Dr. Eric Berg!
Just tell me that you're being real. Can I get rid of tartar?
@@krna3347 If you have dental problems, the only way to fix it is to see a dentist. If it takes a specialist using a fine instrument to scrape it away, then anything that removes it by use of chemicals (organic or otherwise) is also going to wreck the enamel. I like Mr. Berg's nutrition videos but he can get a little irresponsible sometimes...
@@Syne7h lmao I've been to dentist they make it worse so no
maybe if you mix in some baking soda to neutralize the acid, you should still get the same benefit, but maybe it will prevent the sensitivity that way.
@@Syne7hyou can buy a sonic dental pick these days on amazon that the dentists use for $20/$30 dollars
I'm glad you made this video. Knowing that vitamin c turns into hydrogen peroxide on some level is very interesting. I have been using and recommending a few drops of H2O2 in the mouth while using baking soda toothpaste in order to keep plaque to a minimum and fresh and breath. In general it promotes great oral health. Some people may feel a sensitivity to it at first like me and I did it just 3 days a week to start. Now it's a daily and I haven't needed to see a dentist for a cleaning in just about a decade. Even my GF who was a dental hygienist was shocked at how little calc I had when she looked. If you stop to think about it, tooth whitening products have a combination usually of baking soda and peroxide and gel form. However, mixed with your toothpaste it will also gets between your teeth and benefits your tongue, gums and cheeks killing bacteria and other germs.
My dentist told me to take all b with c when i was a kid. I had horrible gums when i was a kid. Bleeding all the time. It fixed it. Pretty impressive recovery.
Xylitol toothpaste, without flouride has worked wonders for me. It changes the Bio film in the mouth. Native Americans used the birch tree bark to chew on, it has been found that the birch tree has natural xylitol.
Good for you. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hey there! Thank you for the video, Dr. Berg!
I have a question on a similar topic. Could you make a detailed video on tonsils and how to cure (if it's possible) chronic tonsillitis. My guess is one should be on keto, include raw garlic daily and most importantly do prolonged fasting every month, because autophagy must be the key.
Anyway, any advice from a professional like you is highly appreciated.

Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. For now, please see the videos here: ruclips.net/user/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=tonsils
-Dr. Berg's Support Team
I had severe tonsillitis a few years back. I took some clean fresh ginger, chewed and swallowed it even though it was very painful and burned. I felt so much better in just a couple of hours. The next day my tonsils went back to their normal size.
I would start with using your index finger to "express" and massage your tonsils frequently. Really get in there and dig around the back of your mouth with your fingers, use Listerine and/or salt and baking soda, and clear out all the gunk and debris. Keep them clean, and gargle with warm saline (salt and baking soda) several times a day.
🇨🇦😊
@@Drberg Glad to hear from you. I’ll be waiting for this video. Thanks!

I skipped over lengthy boring parts, but I am happy to have found the gist of this video.
The Chili Pepper is the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Some folks do NOT react well to nightshade plants!
Acid could mess with your enamel. Much better, do it with buffered vitamin C - sodium ascorbate. And use waterpik to reach areas under gum and in between teeth. Good luck.
the baking soda which is alkaline neutralizes it.
I never knew of vitamin C's relation to collagen. Informational video as always Dr. Berg! Love your content.
I knew that right from my school days... Collagen is much needed.
+copper+bor (ax)
Also beef feet soup or stew and squeeze some lime on is great. 2 great collagen builders.
One of the symptoms of scurvy(severe vitamin c deficiency) is bleeding gums(due to impaired collagen synthesis)
But collagen has nothing to do with plaques and cavities
Thank you Dr Berg..Never knew how vital vitamin C was for us! They need to teach more of this in schools.
They taught us in schools back in the 80s that vitamin C was critical to gum health and deprivation of it caused scurvy. Are you sure you went to school AND paid attention?
@@Beef_it_to_be_fit Don't be silly..They didn't teach us as much as Dr Berg has done back in my time - in the early 00's...I had no idea Vitamin C had more roles to play in the body, not just prevent scruvy..I'm sure that everyone who went to School was taught about scruvy at some point.
They taught this in Health class about vitamins importance.
@@asammahmood5775 maybe you slept through class or gut poor grade. They teach this in school.
@@robinpresleywoodward They taught us in history class that between the 16th and 18th century sailors died due to a pandemic of scruvy due to them not having enough fresh food supplies. And, the pandemic only subsided once they started eating Vitamin C rich foods...I must admit my wording in my first post wasn't the best, made you's think nobody spoke about Vitamin C in my school. I will change my original post slightly.
Im going to eat more fruits and vegetables increase it more for me and my kids thanks Dr berg i got bad teeth, bleeding gums and my children have allergies
You are the content creator I want to be involved with. You understand how to speak to an audience. You are not cheesy. You assume the the viewer is intelligent. I would like to be involved with helping your endeavors grow if I can. This is a great video. You are an excellent instructor.
Never knew the importance of Vitamin C for oral health! Thank you for this video. As a kid I always had bleeding gums. I was definitely Vitamin C deficient. As an adult I’ve been trying to prioritize my health. I make my own fresh juices daily. Lots of lemons, limes, cucumbers, celery, beets, oranges, apples, & pineapples. Haven’t had any oral issues since 🙌 Will definitely try your baking soda, warm water, hydrogen peroxide & ascorbic acid combo!
Vitamin c - scurvy was in a basic science chapter of grade 5. But I guess even then I tend to forget it
Non-GMO ascorbic acid sir
What about liposomal vitamin C …is it helpful?
you dont need to go crazy with it, just get enough
Where do you get your a.acid from?? Also if brush teeth an dbleeds it's a sign of low c?
I am so grateful for you Dr. Eric. Thank you for taking your time to teach and help us all. I thank you for your true compassion.
My pleasure!
I had bleeding gums bad so I seen one of your videos and started eating sauerkraut and it got better
Ok now, it''s maybe too early to tell since it's only been a couple of months but... this is the ultimate game changer in oral health! Just today I removed a small block of tartar that was bridging between my low incisives. My only concern would be for the exterior layer of the teeth (the enamel): will it get thinner with usage?
This said: thanks, and a LOT dr Berg!
Use it with a remineralization powder, you can use bentonite clay or dolomite
@@woo879 wow! That would be an ultimate finisher! I'll try and let you know, thanks a lot!
@@blardomodica have you tried it?
@@Green-bp2lm yep, I'm currently at my 10th month of usage and it's still amazingly effective 😉
I am always sharing your videos with my family and friends. You are my go-to for health information. Thank you for such well researched and reliable information. Love you Dr. Berg!
🥝 🥝 1-2 hrs before sleeping = boosted vitamin c + serotonin levels therefore improving your sleep (I've been using this tried & tested method for 10yrs)
Is that Kiwi fruit??
2 kiwis?
@@TashaFierce111only one
That's true
OMG. I just made it, washed my teeth. White and clean
Pls give us more details. Did you use the full half cup of solution? It seems a lot of liquid. And how did the ascorbic acid come? In a powder form or as lemon juice? What did you do for the ascorbic acid?
When I added the ascorbic acid to the formula it turned yellow after 3 days..Is it still ok? Useable? Does the formula ever go rancid? How long can I expect one solution to last?
Same problem with me
My solution became yellowish after a day. Does it happen?
The liquid is very fluid which makes it difficult to brush with it. Is that the same with you?
If you want to remove plaque and prevent calculus build up simply brush your teeth twice a day and floss every night and get 6 monthly cleans. I can assure you as a dentist, there is nothing more you need to do.
Periodontal disease is ultimately caused by bacteria, there maybe other systemic factors that can INCREASE YOUR RISK, but ultimately it is the bacteria causing the disease. All you need to do is remove the bacteria. This is THE MOST important aspect of oral health. Remove the bacteria with a toothbrush & floss!
A serious question.. If brushing twice a day was enough, what would there be to clean (scraped off) every 6 months?
Thanks for your answer
Go to the dentist and get a cleaning every month? I'll go with Doctor B on this one. I'll get better and quicker results and I won't be shelling out money to people like you every month for something I can do a lot cheaper at home on my own.
Thanks but no thanks!
That's over simplifying. I can't believe someone educated would write such statement. Teeth problems are an expression of someone's overall bad health. Brushing helps but it is not the main issue. Dentists are essentially surgeons, not health experts. I've come to this conclusion unfortunately.
@@MonsieurC64 Hi I’m a dentist too and actually it is not possible for a clean tooth to decay or for clean gums to get periodontitis. It is that simple. This is demonstrated by sterile rat studies and is how we know that cleaning the teeth and gums is the most important thing to prevent oral disease. Other systemic problems and diet can increase the risk of disease but there still has to be bacteria present.
Fluoride is poison and now even natural toothpaste has caargeanen in them! Dentist yell at me every time for brushing with hard brush and not using or drinking Fluoride! Yet my teeth never have to be scraped, I never get cavities and I only use coconut oil, fast and eat my veggies!
Thanks for this updated video! I can fully attest to this. 3 months ago my teeth and gums were bleeding sore... multiple teeth lossening... no brushing or mouthwash por ANYTHING I was doing helped. Then I came across your video on teeth and cod liver oil and also vitamin C (several videos I think) and started implementing it. It took about moth to come around completely... but in the first 2 weeks progress was noticeable and encouraging! I REALLY did not want to go back to my poisener... I mean dentist... and get more mercury and fluoride. I knew toxins in my mouth wasn't the "cure". So long story short, about a month ago one molar that had been loose for almost a year came out... Sounds bad I know... it was... but... It was the one that was HALF mercury fillings. That was the last straw, after that my mouth has been in excellent health! Gums are tight, no loose teeth, no sore or bleeding gums. So, I implemented cod liver oil for omega 3's and the like... but most importantly, I went from taking 6 -10 1000 mg ascorbic acid a day (which became less and less effective over time) and started making the lemon blueberry juice mix (whole lemon and blueberries in water blended (yes peel on)) as well as eating more salads (ESPECIALLY with raw peppers, eating more raw sauerkraut and kimchi etc etc. Basically balanced the Vitamin C in my system back out. With all the food and health changes I do still take a few ascorbic a day... but only 4 at 500 mg. I know a little long winded, but restoring health properly is a journey... this is a small chapter in mine. :) THANKS SO MUCH DR BERG! Your information truly saved my teeth and health!
do u take powder ascorbic acid???
@@abdulqureshi5851 both powdered and tablet.... update today, have not used ANY ascorbic supplementation for 2 months now... no side effects... gums and teeth still good.
I brush with coconut oil and activated charcoal with a pinch of baking soda. My teeth feel super slick and clean like I just had a dental cleaning. I also rinse with full strength hydrogen peroxide. No more plaque or bad breath 💗
Love how he articulates with examples, helps us to visualize and connect the dots properly.
👍🏾 Great Video💯
