Red pill me on toothpaste
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
So ive just been wanting red pill after red pill, so whats the deal on toothpaste?what is it actually? Links please
Fluoride toothpaste helped destroy my thyroid. I’m on natural desiccated thyroid replacement and we moved a year ago to a remote house with a well. I use Tom’s fluoride free toothpaste or usually baking soda
While we’re on the subject. Does anyone have a cure for geographic tongue?
Nevermind, I looked it up.
For others who might be curious, geographic tongue is "A condition that causes harmless tongue patches resembling smooth, red islands."
That's what I love about this site, there's always something new to learn.
Yah it sucks. I quit smoking by switching to vaping and now my tongue does this. In the past too much sugar would cause it. The vape juice has no sweeteners added
Side note, I’ve heard vapinf can dry your tongue.
Whenever I eat something sugary I get really thirsty for some reason.
Diabetes. Your body's attempt to flush out sugar.
Moral: cut out ALL refined carbohydrates or die a slow and painful death.
A good rule of thumb is that if you ever get "suddenly thirsty", it's most likely that the body is demanding more water so it can flush out the thing you just ate. This is especially noticeable if you ever eat too much salt.
And a moment on my soap box, as a former smoker/vaper: The ingredients in vape juice are made by your good friends the Communist Party in China, who would never do anything to hurt you because they love you so. Got that? ... Consider ditching the vape, please.
I have read that both vaping liquid and mountain dew contain embalming fluid. So when we die we will already be preserved🤣
Thank you pede, of honestly never heard of that one. Great name for the condition.
And excellent username.
Try B vitamin complex. It’s usually from a b vitamin deficiency. Also quit vaping if you haven’t already. Vaping is just as bad if not worse than smoking.
Not gonna debate the "just as bad if not worse" angle, but it did help me quit smoking. Then Covid helped me to quit vaping!
Congrats fren
What is geographic tongue?
tongue gets cracked fissures on it imagine dried dirt in the desert
Low iron can do that too.
What is that
The downside about baking soda / charcoal / etc. is that it does notably wear down your teeth over time. It's definitely intended to be used in a pinch, as it's more abrasive than formulated toothpaste.
Regardless of where you stand on the effects of fluoride, I would stick to companies that have made studies on how abrasive their formula is, even if you go fluoride free
Same
Yep. Tom's or baking soda.
I've also seen some charcoal preparations that are probably useful and healthy. But Tom's or baking soda are easy to find and use.
Consider also "swishing" your mouth with Apple Cider Vinegar.
You might even go so far as to do the Ayurvedic "pulling" they do with oil (use coconut oil). I am guessing that works well but I never had the patience to do it.
