Reversing Tooth Decay With Xylitol


Many of us think that once caries get started, the only
solution is a dentist's drill, but "it ain't necessarily so".
Research has shown that xylitol can arrest the progress of
caries and eventually restore their enamel coating,
essentially healing them.11 This was clearly demonstrated
in another study in Belize school children. The xylitol
group had the highest percent of arrested caries (27 per
cent), compared with the sorbitol (seven per cent) and
no-gum control (nine per cent) groups.12

Long-Term Effectiveness
One of the more remarkable things about the caries
protection provided by xylitol is that, to a large degree,
it is permanent. Research tells us that if we use xylitol
products regularly for a period of time, perhaps two
years, we may be protected after that, even if we never

demonstrated most clearly in another school-based study • Xylitol. These women were given xylitol-sweetened

women in this group, like those in the chlorhexidine

The results left no doubt that mothers with S. mutans
in their mouths are capable of passing the bacteria on to
their babies, probably through kissing and other innocent
motherly contact. However, if mothers take steps to
minimise S. mutans in their own mouths, they're doing
their children a big favour as well. Maternal chlorhexidine
treatments had a small effect, resulting in S. mutans
growing on the teeth of nearly one child in three.

allow them to adhere to the tooth surface.19 Getting the Most Out of Xylitol
Xylitol is available in chewing gums, candies,
toothpastes, breath sprays, breath mints, mouthwashes,
calcium supplements, and chewable medications, and
vitamins. The "delivery systems" that produce the best
anticaries effects are those that permit xylitol to come in
direct contact with the teeth for the longest time. These
include chewing gums, especially "pellet-type" gums
that have pure xylitol candy coating. Chewy, sticky, hard,
or tablet candies made with a large proportion of xylitol
are also quite effective.

How Much Xylitol Is Enough?


Studies show that using about four to 12 grams of
xylitol per day is very effective for preventing dental
caries. If a piece of gum contains one gram of xylitol, then

epidemic started four decades after the peak in sugar
consumption. The lack of a clear correlation casts serious
doubt on this as a significant cause. I am not asserting
that excessive sugar consumption does not contribute to
disease. But if sugar is the primary cause of diabetes, the
diabetes epidemic should have started decades earlier.

Obesity
In contrast to sugar, the diabetes risk most definitely
correlates with obesity. This is well demonstrated in figure
4, which shows the dramatic increase in diabetes risk with
body weight (technically BMI—Body Mass Index),
especially for women.

Figure 1. The diabetes epidemic in the US


We have a serious problem, as loss of blood sugar
control greatly increases many other diseases, such as
Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, several types
of cancer, etc. We must determine and address the actual
causes of diabetes. Not only is this epidemic resulting in
a huge amount of pain and disability, but if the increase
continues, caring for people with diabetes will bankrupt
the healthcare system.

Excessive Sugar Consumption


Since diabetes is by definition loss of control of blood
sugar, the obvious first area to look for a cause is
excessive sugar consumption. We certainly do consume

important are:

to produce more insulin than normal. Eventually this
excessive demand on the pancreas causes it to wear out
and lose its ability to produce insulin, resulting in full
blown diabetes.
• Damage to pancreas beta cells: Some toxins directly
poison the cells in the pancreas responsible for producing
insulin.
• Epigenetic dysmodulation. A key way we adapt to our
environment is by turning on and off genes as needed.
Unfortunately, environmental toxins poison this needed
synergy. Especially worrisome is that these disruptions are

organic pollutants (POPs) which is why they are also
implicated in the obesity epidemic.10,11,12,13

The Worst Diabetogens


I found so much research on environmental toxins
causing diabetes that I started to wonder if we could
figure out what percentage of diabetes is due to specific
diabetogens. I found that public health has developed
methodologies to determine the percentage of lung
cancer caused by cigarette smoking.14 I, and my research
team, used the same formula to determine the worst
diabetogens. This work required quite a lot of research
time. Table 1 shows what we have tentatively found for
diabetes (as more research becomes available, I am
constantly updating these numbers). I included a few of
the hundreds of references needed to calculate these
numbers. Please be clear that this is an early look.

Figure 9. Arsenic levels correlate with diabetes7

know the exact percentage contribution of each toxin,
their relative role in the epidemic is undeniable.
Intervention requires we understand the sources of
these diabetogens so they can be avoided and then
develop strategies to help get them out of the body.

The Diabetogens
When thinking about environmental toxins,
understanding the difference between persistent and
non-persistent toxins is critically important. This is
determined by how long it takes the body to get rid of
the toxin. A good rule of thumb is that four half-lives are
needed to eliminate a toxin from the body. Non-
persistent toxins typically have half-lives measured in
Figure 10. BPA correlates with visceral fat9 hours to days. The key intervention is to stop exposure

40 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com AUGUST – SEPTEMBER 2020


and the body will eliminate all of them typically within 1–2
weeks. Persistent toxins have half-lives in months to even
decades. They are extremely difficult to get out of the
body and require sophisticated strategies.

• Arsenic
Arsenic exposure occurs primarily through diet and
drinking water. A strong case can be made that
worldwide this is the most common toxin causing disease
in humans. The US CDC has named it the number one
toxin in the US for decades. Surprisingly, many water
supplies throughout the world are contaminated with
arsenic—both naturally occurring and due to
industrialisation. Inexplicably, 10 per cent of the public
water supplies in the US have arsenic levels known to
induce disease. The primary food sources are seafood,

approving its use. For the average person, the vast
majority of their arsenic is from contaminated
drinking water, rice and chicken.
As arsenic is a non-persistent toxin, avoiding rice
and chicken, or only eating them when measured
to have low arsenic, is effective in lowering body
load. Contaminated water is more difficult to
address. The main ways to remove arsenic from
water are distillation and reverse osmosis. While B
vitamins can help its detoxification, they do not
take the place of decreasing exposure.

• Bisphenol A
While plastics have provided many of the benefits
of civilisation, they unfortunately contaminate us
daily with metabolism-disrupting plasticisers.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the production of Figure 12. Cosmetic use increases phthalates in the blood20

and beauty aids, except in Europe where they have now
been banned due the large amount of research showing
their toxicity. As can be seen in figure 12, phthalate levels
in the blood directly correlate with use of health and
beauty aids.
The good news is that phthalates are easily eliminated.
The bad news is that exposure is everywhere, so
avoidance requires considerable diligence. The most
effective strategies are to only use phthalate-free health
and beauty aids, avoid buying food stored in plastic
packaging, and to replace all plastic food storage
containers in the home with glass versions.

What is Thermotherapy?
Thermotherapy is the therapeutic application of any substance to the body that adds
heat to the body resulting in increased tissue temperature. Thermotherapy also
increases blood flow which facilitates tissue healing by supplying protein, nutrients,
and oxygen at the site of injury. Studies have shown that a 1°C increase in tissue
temperature is associated with a 10% to 15% increase in local tissue
metabolism. The increase in tissue metabolism assists in the healing process by
removing the metabolic by-products of tissue damage and provides the environment for
tissue repair.

Why Use Far Infrared?


The circulatory system is responsible for the delivery of oxygen-rich blood and the
removal of wastes. Far infrared rays have been found to have a blood circulation
enhancing effect in human skin, eventually inducing an increase in temperature of the
body tissues.

The Kali Yuga (Iron Age) was preceded by
three other yugas: Satya or Krita Yuga (Golden
Age), Treta Yuga (Silver Age) and the Dwapara
Yuga (Bronze Age). In the Mahabharata,
Hanuman gives the following description of the
yuga cycle to the Pandava prince Bhima:
"The Krita Yuga was so named because
there was but one religion, and all men were
saintly: therefore they were not required to
perform religious ceremonies... Men neither
bought nor sold; there were no poor and no
rich; there was no need to labour, because all

the great battle of the Mahabharata. This is remarkably
close to the proposed beginning of the current "Great
Cycle" of the Mayan Long Count Calendar in 3114 BCE.
It is generally believed that the start date of the Kali
Yuga—17/18 February, 3102 BCE—was computed on the
basis of the information in the Sanskrit astronomical
treatise, the Surya Siddhanta, according to which the five
"geocentric planets" (i.e. the planets visible to the naked
eye)—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—were
aligned to 0° of Aries (near the star zeta Piscium) at the
beginning of the Kali Yuga.
However, modern simulations carried out by Richard
Thompson show that on 17/18 February, 3102 BCE, the
five geocentric planets occupied an arc of roughly 42° in
the sky and were scattered over three zodiacal signs—
Aries, Pisces and Aquarius. This cannot be considered as
a conjunction by any means. Far more spectacular
"alignment" of planets has occurred in the preceding and
succeeding centuries.

the Sanskrit text Aryabhatiya, where he writes that:
"When sixty times sixty years (i.e. 3,600 years) and
three quarter Yugas had elapsed, twenty-three years
had then passed since my birth."5
This means that Aryabhata had composed the text
when he was 23 years old and 3,600 years of the current
yuga had elapsed. The problem here is that we do not
know when Aryabhata was born, or when he composed
the Aryabhatiya. He does not even mention the Kali Yuga
by name, and simply states that 3,600 years of the yuga
had elapsed. Scholars generally assume that the Kali
Yuga had started in 3102 BCE, and then use this
statement to justify that the Aryabhatiya was composed
in 499 CE. However, we cannot use the reverse logic i.e.
we cannot say that the Kali Yuga must have started in
3102 BCE since the Aryabhatiya was composed in 499
CE, for we do not know when Aryabhata lived or
completed his work.

the yuga cycle cannot be of different durations
for different cultures.
In the book The Holy Science (1894), Sri
Yukteswar clarified that a complete yuga cycle
takes 24,000 years, and is comprised of an
ascending cycle of 12,000 years when virtue
gradually increases and a descending cycle of
another 12,000 years, in which virtue gradually
decreases. Hence, after we complete a

to Kali Yuga, the sequence reverses itself, and
an ascending cycle of 12,000 years begins

believed to have started in 3076 BCE when
the Great Bear was in the "Magha"
nakshatra (lunar asterism) as mentioned by
Varahamihira in Brihat-Samhita (Brs 13-3).
But, as Dr Subhash Kak points out, "the new
count that goes back to 3076 BCE was
started later to make it as close to the start
of the Kali era as possible"23. So, when did
the Saptarsi Calendar for the Kali Yuga Fig. 2: The cycling of the Saptarsis through the different nakshatras
really start?
In the book Traditions of the Seven Rsis,
Dr Mitchiner points out that the Saptarsi
Calendar for the Kali Yuga (the Kashmir
Laukika Abda) had started when the
Saptarsis were in Rohini. Since the Saptarsis
were in Rohini in 3676 BCE, it implies that
the Kali Yuga cycle must have commenced
in 3676 BCE.
Now this is where it gets more interesting.
A Saptarsi era began in 6676 BCE, and
another cycle started exactly 3,000 years
later in 3676 BCE. But the Saptarsi cycle is
of 2,700 years duration. Why did the
Saptarsi era for the Kali Yuga start 3,000
years after the previous cycle?
This means a 300-year "transitional
period" must have been added to the end
of the previous cycle! It clearly proves the
hypothesis that the 2,700-year Saptarsi
cycle, along with a 300-year transitional
period was the original calendrical basis of
the yuga cycle.
We can also conclude from this analysis

A karez well consists of four parts:
vertical wells, underground tunnels,
a ground canal and a waterlogging
dam. The vertical wells spaced at
regular intervals allowed people to
extract water in buckets or enter the

mounds around them. The
underground tunnels carried the
water from the mountains, thus
eliminating water evaporation. The
ground canals allowed people to

What the Buddha really taught
Buddhism is regarded as a religion based on the teaching of the Buddha. However the Tibetan, Chinese
and Zen branches have diverged strongly away from the teaching as laid out in the original Pali language
discourses of the Buddha. Although they do have translations of the Pali texts among their documents they
each have, additionally, a vast literature of their own from different sources. This material is the main focus
and direction of their meditation. The southern Asian and Sri Lankan branch has also changed the teaching
by using only a limited number of the core or more important discourses and introducing regional and local
variations. This in spite of the original Pali texts being present in their monasteries. The origin of the above
problems is the development of a religion called Buddhism. The Buddha taught for the individual, meaning
teacher to pupil or one to one, this encourages free thinking and investigation. There are no beliefs here.
David Maurice published a book of English translations of the core discourses of the Buddha in 1962 and
then an introductory book on the Buddha’s teaching in 1980. David was an Australian who spent 40 years
living in Burma, during this period he learnt Pali the language in which the Buddha’s discourses were written.
In the 1950’s he became the editor of a magazine The Light of the Dhamma, a periodical dedicated to
systematically translate all the Buddha’s teaching into English. This work was being done by David and
several monks.
David had been disappointed that the Buddha’s teaching was misinterpreted by Buddhists all over Asia. In
his memory the above two books have been brought back into print in a single volume under the original title
of the first of these – “The Lions Roar”. The translations of the discourses have been left untouched.
However the introductory section has been updated and expanded by the editor as a guide for anyone
wishing to put the Buddha’s teaching into practice in the modern world. It is as relevant today as it was 2500
years ago. The original teaching of the Buddha is not a religion – religions are based on acceptance. It is an
examination of life, with suggestions by the Buddha as how best to go about this.
