Use the Edgar Cayce Remedy IPSAB. I had gum disease and my dentist had scheduled me for a "deep" cleaning but after using the IPSAB tooth powder for only 2 weeks between when I last saw the dentist and scheduled the appt. for the deep cleaning, I'd heard about IPSAB and started using it. It healed my gums enough so that I did not need the deep cleaning after all. I HIGHLY recommend it. IPSAB is an acronym for Iodine, Prickly Ash Bark, Salt.
