ITEM – People prone to tooth decay decompose starch rapidly.
A simple test to show how fast a person’s saliva breaks down starch was once routinely used to accurately predict susceptibility to tooth decay.
For more info, consult “Relation Between Caries and Saliva Announced,” Science News Letter, Apr. 8, 1944.
ITEM – There’s a vast difference between milk and cream, particularly nonfat milk and cream (just like Adano Ley said).
According to “Factor Found in Cream Prevents New Disease,” Science News Letter, Apr. 22, 1944, “Guinea pigs kept on a diet containing skim milk but no cream developed the stiffness [associated with the deposition of calcium phosphate throughout the body] in two or three weeks, and the lime deposits in about a year.”
Popping calcium supplements without cream is also not a smart idea. :(
ITEM – Years ago, the U.S. Navy taught sailors how to survive without drinking water.
Protein coagulation assists this process of converting GLUCOSE to WATER. Protein coagulation was discovered by desert-dwellers for obvious reasons …
(1) There’slimited water in the desert.
(2) It’s hot enough to coagulate the protein in starch.
Incidentally, there’sthree other ways to make starch more absorbable …
(1) High heat above 400 degrees Fahrenheit (alasting type of dextrinization).
(2) Refrigeration (temporary dextrinization).
(3) Heating in the presence of alcohol.
According to “Eating of Glucose Partly Replaces Water,” Science News Letter, May 6, 1944, “Hydrogen and oxygen are present in glucose, as well as other carbohydrates, in the same two-to-one proportion that represents water, but with the addition of half-a-dozen carbon atoms per molecule. The arrangement by which the body is able to make use of these elements is physiologically complex, but the living mechanism of human cells can do it if the need is great enough.”

I knew desert animals were capable of converting glucose to water, and I eventually discovered some humans (not all) are able to do it from a World War II U.S. Navy Survival Manual. :)

Hi
have been reading your pdf booklet TRANSCEN-DENTAL MASTICATION FROM THE BLOTTING BRUSH TO A THIRD SET OF TEETH. I have bought the blotting brushes but seem to be getting through them really quickly could I use anything else. I am also finding them helping my digestion and feeling the chi in my body and jaw tension. Is it possible to blot to hard and for too long – it is a bit addictive. Also hard to find any useful information about them. Sorry so many questions and not on topic.
Thanks

Don’t overdo it and do it gently, Lydia! :)
The Blotting Brush is unpolished, so it does make a difference.
According to a knowledgeable source, the original Blotting Brush is available at this link …

They’re supposed to have an instruction book too.
Let me know – either here or you can e-mail me at …

HI
Thanks for your reply.
I have had a look at the link you posted and cannot seem to find the brushes also do not have any instructions. In your booklet TRANSCEN-DENTAL MASTICATION FROM THE BLOTTING BRUSH TO A THIRD SET OF TEETH it says you can blot up to 20 mins twice a day so I am blotting twice a day for 10 mins. It also says you can chew the brush to get used to the blotting action but I just seem to be chewing the brush up LOL. It has really helped jaw tension and I have noticed my gums are a little sore but tighter.
Thanks

Lydia, this is from a Resources For Life Website …
“If, after using the technique for a few weeks, you notice that the bristles on your brush are splayed outward, you may be forcing the bristles over the teeth instead of using the edge to get into the crevice.”
And there’s a wonderful video on YouTube of the late great Dr. J.E. Phillips himself explaining his Blotting method. :)
