I appreciate your efforts to set the record straight on the importance of Nitric Oxide your comments are in harmony with Dr. Nathan S. Bryan who has written several books on this subject and it's importance to our overall health and wellbeing.

[@GeorgeStar]

Fluoride is a known carcinogen. Tooth decay comes from a high carb diet not lack of fluoride. The archeological record is crystal clear, since the advent of agriculture (ie a grain based diet) tooth decay increased and overall human health decreased.

[@toni4729]

I clean my teeth with bi-carbonate of soda. It will work miracles for a million things. Look it up.

[@swen6797]

Tooth decay is simply the failure to cure dental caries by the proper availability of calcium via carboxylated osteocalcin because of ample vitamin k2. Same for osteoporosis. The best source of nitric oxide is made and released in the presence of sunlight exposure. That first flush of red isn't burn, it is the result of NO vasodilation intended to bring capillaries up to periscope depth so UV can penetrate to irradiate the blood (cleanse) and oxygenate RBC. The biggest problem with fluoride is that it changes the dielectric constant of structured water in and around cells and bloodstream. This is also one reason how the processes of autophagy and apoptosis are diminished, which is why we fail to prevent cancer. I guess I have to listen to her recommendation of fluoride. I have a hard time conceiving of worse advice.

Search for studies that reveal the more salt you eat the longer you live. Salt is demonized, meditation for high blood pressure treats symptoms appropriate causes and not the primary root causes. Which is bad for you but extremely profitable for drug companies to have you on medications for life. The more salt you consume the longer you live. But if you do not address the root causes of your poor health, you get what you deserve.

In my opinion, its best to stay away from use of any chemicals on your body, including modern "medicines" which are nothing but strong doses of chemicals that always have side effects.

This is the first I’ve heard of the bacteria of the tongue being involved in nitric oxide production. I’d like to know more about this and how significant is it, like what kind of increase can we get by supporting the oral microbiome?

[@blackswanstudios6632]

Btw, the study she cited as proof that tongue scraping increases NO actually concludes that there is no definitive answer to whether tongue scraping is beneficial or not in relation to NO production, because it's not as simple as gaining more H. parainfluenza and other Proteobacteria. The study found that subjects who cleaned their tongue less frequently had higher salivary nitrate and nitrite concentrations than those who cleaned their tongue more frequently, so then we get into the area of complex interaction between tongue microbiome composition, salivary chemistry, and NO metabolism that is not fully understood.

I know this is late in the conversation but my question is about Xylitol. Dr. Ellie Phillips, DDS has an oral health system that includes Fluoride toothpaste, three mouthwashes and Xylitol dental mints. My question is about the Xylitol mints since she purports that they decrease the bad bacteria in the mouth. Have you done any research on whether it is good or bad to use?

[@dallenwade]

By the way, Dr.Ellie has a video on the use of mouthwash and nitric oxide. Van Dyken, although attempting to be thorough, is not. ALL mouthwashes do not kill good bacteria. Van Dyken does not identify the mouthwash used in the study was chlorhexidine, which Dr Ellie also condemned in her video as detrimental. However not all, and probably few, mouthwashes have this chemical. Dr Ellie in her video demonstrates, using her own saliva, the nitric oxide levels in her mouth as a result of using her system.

Thanks Doctor, for another excellent, well supported presentation. Unfortunately, I used antimicrobial mouth washes for a long, long time, so I have two related questions. 1) Is there an available test to assess for permanent damage to the tongue microbiome? A test that would tell me if any of the populations of tongue bacteria you mention were wiped out by years of using antiseptic rinses? 2) If my tongue microbiome has been damaged, is there a probiotic to rebuild it? Your oral rinse looks like a good support for a functioning microbiome. What would be good for rebuilding one that was severely damaged? I think this would relate not only to people with long term mouthwash use, but also those who have had to chronically use antibiotics, for any reason. Your thoughts on assessing and repairing the damage would be most welcome. Thanks again!

Full-time NASAL Breathing is the best way to increase Nitric Oxide, and lowers anxiety (puts us in the Para-sympathetic mode.)

After watching this video I respect the engineering that has gone into the human body more.

I enjoyed your video. Thanks. I rinse my mouth with salt water. It feels nice and it's natural, like a swim after in the sea.

I'm still listening to your views! Yes, I follow! Mahalo, Dr. Van Dyken, and... Aloha! Lisbon Calling! I suffer often from dry mouth at night. Xerostomia at night time due to mouth opening! Dreadful sometimes it sticks like glue and my tongue was like sandpaper twice per night. I have to suck a B-12 lozenge once or twice every night to get over this dryness. Any views on this? Please post a video, thanks!
