The mouth is on the frontline. Our current methods of oral maintenance are inadequate for dealing with the many things that go on in our mouths. Mouthwash kills bacteria, altering the ratios, and promotes the growth of pathogenic bacteria. 04:50 What Happens in the Mouth Does Not Stay in the Mouth: When pathogenic bacteria from the mouth enters the bloodstream it can cause heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and insulin resistance, pancreatic and intestinal issues, and impacts the gut microbiome. 08:34 Diet for the Oral Microbiome: A paleo or ancestral diet is ideal. Our oral biome and our microbiome evolved to a certain diet. 10:46 Optimal Oral Maintenance: Water pics are good devices when used appropriately. Do not add hydrogen peroxide. Baking soda and Himalayan salt stabilize our oral ph. Brushing and flossing are important, however they cause bacteremia, where bacteria from the mouth enter the bloodstream. 20:04 Sleep Apneas: What is not caused by sleep apnea is a shorter list than what IS caused by sleep apnea. It has been found to cause obesity, breast cancer, prostate cancer (on the verge of being on the list), Alzheimer’s, insulin resistance, IBS, and impacts upon the gut microbiome. 22:40 Your Airway: The airway is the essence of life. You can gain weight in your airway and your tongue. Your airway is not a rigid tube. It can collapse when the muscles around the tube are flaccid, as they are when we are in deep sleep. 25:28 GERD and Airway Dysfunction Correlation: If your dentist sees GERD, grinding and lingual erosions on the inside where the tooth meets the gum, this means that your stomach acids creep upward with snoring during sleep.
