Hello All,

This contains an introduction, a section on background (my health),
and a
section on remedy.

INTRODUCTION
Every once I while, but not too often, I find something which makes a
significant difference in the level of my health. I have found such a
link
in the past couple of weeks between the level of my brain function and
bacteria around my teeth/gums, especially a front tooth. Since I
have made
this discovery, and I correct the condition as needed (a few times a
day) I
have not had a "brain fog." Previously, I would have a brain fog
part of
every 24 hours almost for certain. I control the bacteria in my
mouth by
brushing my teeth with oregano oil. Please see caution below before
you try
it.

BACKGROUND
I have been recovering for 20 years from an awesome case of
Environmental
Illness (EI), Multiple Chemical Sensivity (MCS), and Chemical Injury
(CI).
(I also had candida, I was so ill that I'm lucky to still be
alive. I was
one of those who should have lived in a bubble. At my worst, my
brain was
(supposedly) irreversibly damaged from brain swelling as a result of
breathing formaldehyde fumes, and my IQ was severely (and supposedly)
permanently depressed. I couldn't write more than two sentences, I
couldn't
even concentrate enough to watch a TV program, and I couldn't
remember three
numbers for more than a few seconds.

I also had migraines, extremely painful joints and muscles, difficulty
walking, drowsiness, weakness, poor coordination, extreme food
allergies,
and ultra extreme chemical sensitivities. I am a "universal reactor."
Almost any test for allergies and chemicals produced wheals
(swellings) at
the injection points plus physiological/neurological symptoms. I
used to be
allergic to almost all foods.

Obviously, since I'm writing this, I can write more than two
sentences, and
yes I can concentrate now, and yes I can remember numbers, even say
them
backwards. And I've gradually built my strength and health.

Every day, or several times a day, I muscle strength myself for
various
organs and functions in my body. Muscle testing may be unfamiliar to
some.
It's a way of getting at the energy level or balance of organs and
there are
several ways to do this. I've been doing it, or using the pendulum,
already
for about 15 years. The pendulum, when you learn how to use it, can
also
reflect the energy level organs in the body.

A healthy person, in my opinion and experience, has a good amount of
energy
(similar, I suppose, to "chi") in all of her or his organs and body
parts
(thymus, solar plexis & diaphragm, pituitary, pineal gland, limbic
brain,
thyroid, sinuses, ears, eyes, lungs, heart, stomach, spleen, pancreas,
liver, gall bladder, adrenals, kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters,
urethra,
intestines, arms & shoulders, spine, hips, thighs & legs, sciatic
nerve,
ovaries or testes, lymphatic system, breast, and prostate or
uterus). He or
she is free from overgrowth of body yeast and molds, etc.

When I would test myself, I was very out of balance in most organs or
systems a good part of the time, and I learned how to bring energy to
the
needy parts through the use of reflexology (and a little
acupressure).
When I had a bad chemical exposure, I would spend hours each day
getting my
body back in balance. Over time, being away from daily spraying of
herbicides and pesticides (where I used to live) and being healthier
from
other work on myself I've done, my body is much more stable and it is
rare
for any of my systems to be badly depleted of energy although it can
still
happen.

REMEDY (WORKS FOR ME)
Even with my health improved 95% over its worst, I was still
experiencing
brain fog a part of every day and finding myself unable to
concentrate,
weak, and drowsy (as opposed to "tired" from needing sleep). Already
years
ago I had all metals removed from my teeth and had them replaced with
a
relatively nontoxic composite by an environmental dentist. That
greatly rel
ieved my tendency toward serious muscle/joint pains, poor
coordination, and
other symptoms. I followed to a degree the "dental cleanup"
recommendations
of Hulda R. Clark, N.D., Ph.D., found in her books of the time.

I had teeth crowned, however, which she advised against. She advised
pulling teeth that needed to be crowned. At a later date, she
discovered
almost no dental material is safe, and that information is on a web
site,
www.drclark.net, info. But more relevant to me is she discovered that
around plastic crowns, a bacteria, "clostridium," grows, and it is
very,
very toxic. It may appear as a black line around the margin of the
crown
where it meets the tooth. That toxins from the clostridium can
affect the
whole body. The clostridium, I believe, can also migrate to weak or
any
organs of the body. She also discovered a remedy -- the Oregano Oil I
mentioned in the beginning. It kills clostridium.

I put a drop of oil on my finger and rub the toothbrush in it. Then
brush
my teeth. In the beginning I put the oil right on the brush and used
3
drops. It burnt the corners of my mouth and they peeled. Doing it by
rubbing the brush into the oil on my finger seems more merciful and I
use
1/2 to 1 drop usually. Now, if I feel the beginning of a brain fog,
I brush
my teeth. This happens usually three times a day. I have NOT had
any brain
fog since then. It is a miracle. I am infinitely more productive
each day
and feel fine.

I believe it is an upper, front tooth causing the main problem. It is
crowned and I am told it also has a cavity, although I am not certain
of
that. In any case, I am soon to have this tooth (and other crowned
teeth)
removed using the Huggins or Clark protocol, which involves removed
the
infected tissue around a tooth that is being pulled. I also have a
cavitation (dry socket) in the upper front where another tooth had
been
extracted years ago, and I' have learned "dry socket" means there is
an
infection there. Hopefully the surgeon can get all the infection out
this ti
me. (I've had two surgeries already on that spot, but with the
crowned
tooth also out, it may be possible to get all the infection out.) If
the
oral surgery is successful, I might not need to brush 3 times a day
with
Oregano Oil in order to avoid brain fog. Perhaps the infection from
my
upper tooth and dry socket will be the last contributing cause to the
perpetual brain problem.

In the meantime, I use the Oregano Oil, and if I have to do it
indefinitely,
it's worth it. It's worth it to feel great and be able to function
without
period of dullness, reduced IQ, etc. I don't know where people can
buy
this. I got mine through a telephone order by calling the Self Health
Resource Center at 1-800-873-1663. I understand they now have a
truly pure
toothpaste made from baking soda, oregano oil, and I don't know what
else.
I have no financial interst in this company and pay the same as
everyone
else for what I buy. The toothpaste and oil are probably for sale
(but I
haven't checked) at www.drclark.net. My only interest in anything to
do
with Dr. Clark is that I make her books available for sale because I
believe
they can help people be healthy.

Conclusion - I am very joyful with my new level of health which
permits me
to function with no brian fog. I continue to do all of the other
things I
have been doing right along to support my health, plus brush my teeth
with
the Oregano Oil a few times a day. If I had known as a youngster the
vital
importance of oral health, my life story would be a different one.
But it's
probably the yin and the yang. Everything may happen for good reason!
