Member Question:

I was wondering if you could tell me if you carry a Dr. Christopher type formula for helping with tooth enamel and tooth strength.

I was reading elsewhere about this combination…

Dental Formula

• 1 cup – Black Walnut hull, dried and crushed
• 2 tbl – White Oak Bark
• 2 Tbl – Marshmallow Root
• 2 Tbl- Peppermint leaf
• 2 Tbl– Horsetail herb

Would you offer something like this in a combination formula or liquid or even bulk herb form?

HEAL Answer:

I’m not sure where you are getting your information from.  I have done a complete research in Dr. Christopher’s material and not found the formula you are referring to.  I would also have great reservations about putting black walnut directly onto the teeth.  Black walnut is an excellent dye and could likely dye the teeth black if used in direct contact with the teeth.  If it is found of value I would suggest it be taken as an extract in a cup of tea, not applied directly to the teeth.

I cannot even find a place where Dr. Christopher speaks of black walnut even being good for the teeth.  I did find someone on line who claims Dr. Christopher said something but I don’t know this person and since Christopher’s material does not back up what he has said I don’t think this is his formula.

Black walnut is the strongest herb in nature for clearing fungus issues.  As an Anti-fungal it is unsurpassed.  It does contain a high amount of calcium (89%) which would give credence to it being a support for the teeth.  It being such an excellent dye, again I would caution applying it directly over the teeth.  Follow the link for the complete Chemical Composition of Black Walnut.

We do provide Dr. Christopher’s tooth powder.  The only one he has ever written of:

Herbal Tooth Powder:

Oak Bark, Comfrey Root, Horsetail Grass, Lobelia, Cloves, Peppermint. This tooth powder should be used to supplement the Calcium Formula.

This herbal food combination consists of oak bark, oat straw, comfrey root, horsetail grass, lobelia, cloves, peppermint.  This formula is used to help strengthen the gums (bleeding and pyorrhea-type infections of the gums), and assist in tightening loose teeth.  This type tooth powder will brighten the teeth’s luster and make for a healthier mouth.

For severe cases place this powder combination between the lips and gums (up and lower) around entire tooth area and leave on all night, six nights a week (as well as brushing regularly) until improvement is evident.  Then continue on with regular tooth brushing with this herbal food combination.
