Dear E. -- Gum deterioration can indicate not only acidosis due to alkaline mineral deficiency , but ANTIOXIDANT DEFICIENCY. My health guru friend recommends ThioTabs, a chewable antioxidant from Thion Int'l (888-844-6468). It was recommended on the "Duke & the Dr." radio program, and my friend says it's the best she's tried (the l-glutathione content is key). Chew & swish 1-2 tabs daily. The label says, "an aid to gingivitis and bleeding gums."
All remedies should be preceded by addressing obvious NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES. Among these are the multifarious, ionic-form minerals readily available in Whole Sea Salt. It's $5/lb, in available in 2lb. bags; 40 lb. boxes are also pre-packaged, a good allotment considering its many uses (e.g., as a food preservative for WHEN the hard times arrive.) I have other full-spectrum mineral & nutrient recommendations available. Noteworthy is the recent discovery of at least 8 ESSENTIAL CARBOHYDRATES, 6 of which are absent from the standard American diet. Since science has newly identified nutrients that we need but lack, reversing this condition seems obligatory to me. Feel free to call.
