-What are the differences in the protocols of Dr. Curatola and Dr. Ellie Phillips? Opposing views on Closys, xylitol, fluoride, glycerine, OralDNA test, and flossing.

-Bonita asks how can the USA ask other countries to respect borders when the USA doesn’t respect others’ borders? How can they ask North Korea to not have nuclear weapons?

-If you could wave a magic wand, what would you do for a living?

-Pamela and Patrick talk about Dr. Ellie’s protocol, Crest, making pizza, the logical fallacy of appealing to tradition, Patrick’s motto for healthy living.

-Does the mind know anything? It’s like a database that doesn’t know anything except what’s put into it, and then it spits it out.

-US has been out of the ability to borrow since March. The $317 billion means we’ve now borrowed enough money to pay back all the debts incurred since March. With a probable argument for debt ceiling raise in December due to extraordinary circumstances, politicians are in a good position for the mid-term primary elections.

-Trump administration is full-on for a tax deal. Mnuchin says he’s hopeful for January. But we haven’t even done a health care deal yet. Gold down, dollar up now.

-Tax reform could increase revenues and decrease the need for so much borrowing. Integral to get corporate tax reform as soon as possible. But lots of breaks in the Congressional calendars. Congress is in recess for 6 weeks between now and December 31, so running out of time for a 2017 tax reform bill.

-Jack thinks its hilarious that Jamie Dimon calls Bitcoin a fraud, when JPMorgan & Chase had a $13 million fine for stinky dealings.

-George said US money is recognized as money because it’s issued by the government and good for tax payment. Why, when precious metals were removed from money, did money still function as money and precious metals did not?

-Glenn says the conflict in Afghanistan is over opium, but they also have the largest supply of lithium deposits in the world, needed for a growing world demand for batteries for electric cars.

-China wants to electrify everything and put in electric vehicles. Will create lots of demand for batteries. Congressional policy can alter the playing field for manufacturing. US electric vehicles now get a subsidy. If no subsidy, and no tariffs, China could come into the US and take over the electric vehicle market.

-Only US shoe manufacturer left is SAS – San Antonio Shoemakers.

-Eric asks if banking laws written in the 1930s make it illegal to question the national debt. You can’t say we don’t owe that. We must honor previous spending.

-Is it true climate change deniers are breaking the law? It would be hate speech. Andy would rather have free speech and no suppressing of thoughts.** Man-made climate change is a religion.

-The vast majority of doctorate economists are employed by the Fed or have contracts with them, silencing any dissent from official Fed policy. The same thing happened in the weather field.

-Stevie Wonder having a big concert for Hurricane victims. **

-What does Andy think of the documentary “The Chinese Hustle”, shown at the Toronto Film Festival yesterday. US short-sellers found out how crooked Chinese companies were. Considered to be a sequel to “The Big Short”. China’s financial system is poorly regulated. Another financial movie just out is “The Tulip”.

Even Jeff Berwick, the Dollar Vigilante, admits he has gold and silver holdings. 2 schools of thought on investing, either diversify or put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket grow.

-New scheme for digital, spendable gold. Someone else holds your gold – Andy is out.

-Ellen asks for an explanation of the debt ceiling crisis and what would be even a short term effect of a default. Debt ceiling suspended until Dec 15. Even a short term default means people would lose confidence and act on it.

-Nancy asks about long Bitcoin being the most crowded trade on Wall Street. That’s because Bitcoin is going up.

-Hillary says the book “1984” means we should all trust the government a bit more. To her, government is always benevolent. Even if it’s a conspiracy, it’s a conspiracy for your own good.

-Bullion or numismatic coins, which ones to buy? What protection does it provide? Numismatic coins are a means of storing wealth for the long term.

-Change coming up in a few months on the Fed board. Potential candidate Gary Cohen showed he wasn’t truly loyal to President Trump and will lose out.

-3 trusted aphorisms from days of yore, save your money, pay your debts off early, live debt free, are now are the worst things you can do with your money.

-We buy gold and silver coins for way into the future, not for today or tomorrow. Don’t buy more investment assets than you can afford, so you don’t have to sell early.

-Numismatic coins have no leverage. No contracts, options, or futures, it’s all cash and carry, along with a fixed supply.

-The introduction of grading services in 1987 made a sea change in the numismatic coin market.

-China is doing gold futures contracts, buying gold from Russia and elsewhere. The Yuan is a new currency, introduced in the 1940s, and doesn’t have clout. To make the yuan stronger, China needs to convert them to gold.

-History of merchant bankers and how megabanks got started by standing in the middle of transactions.

-Venezuela introduces a new international payment system to liberate themselves and their trading partners from the dollar.

-Why do we need a debt ceiling? After the Federal Reserve was given the power to create dollars in 1913, it was free to inflate the money supply. Debt ceiling was imposed as a fiscal control to limit the supply of treasury bonds.

-The Fed created 2 trillion dollars in 2017. They monetized all kinds of debt instruments and thereby increased the money supply.

-Jeff Leach of Goldman Sachs said everyone should own physical assets such as gold. Odd things happen when liquidity falls. It’s an issue of counterparty risk-there’s not enough gold and silver to cover all the contracts.

-Deutsche Bank is seeing bubbles. Blankfein of Goldman Sachs said yields in corporate bonds are down; he’s worried.

-Jamie Diamond of JPMorgan & Chase says Bitcoin is a fraud. Right now it’s a novelty, but as it gets bigger, problems will develop, and they will close it down. It is a fraud – an emperor without clothes. They’ll keep the block chain technology and throw Bitcoin in the trash. Bitcoin marketing showing a coin is misleading – there is no Bitcoin coin.

-Equifax hackers are looking for payment in Bitcoin. Equifax execs sold stock after the hack but before it was revealed. Will the Justice Dept. pursue them for trading on inside information?

-80% of American families don’t make enough to cover their current standard of living. Are surviving by deficit spending. Inflation has outpriced wages, causing a mispricing of the value of labor. How long can we continue? A debt limit on Treasury is like running out of zeros.

-We keep stepping away from the checks and balances on our monetary system. Don’t store your wealth in Federal Reserve Notes. The reasonable thing is to store it in gold and silver coins.

-Dollar-denominated debt has doubled in the last decade. By creating new bonds, Congress increased the debt by $317 billion yesterday, suspending the debt ceiling until December 15. Has the same effect as increasing the money supply. $15 billion went to Harvey, $302 went elsewhere.

-Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s solution is a longer amortization schedule, not cutting the debt.

-Healthy teeth look white and brighter. Highly mineralized teeth reflect light, so they look white and have a glow to them. Tooth whiteners have an acidity in them. How are they whitening? They’re etching the glass in the teeth. Teeth will look white, but they’re getting damaged. Teeth become more porous, rougher, lose biofilm, get more sensitive, more gum recession, more prone to a cavity. The inside of the tooth is getting damaged from whitening.

-Do we want to avoid xylitol made from corn? No difference. It’s in lots of foods.

-John asks why not to floss? If you have an infected mouth, you have pathogens in the pockets and you don’t want to push those guys into the blood stream. If you have swollen, bleeding gum, gum disease, get rid of it, then use floss to get rid of food stuck between your teeth. Dr. Ellie flosses while she has toothpaste on her teeth. Pick your floss with care. You’re not going to improve the ecology of your mouth with a length of string. See your mouth as a total ecosystem.

-Harry asks how could glycerine be inhibiting remineralization – it’s in all the toothpastes. However, do those toothpastes work? Use her complete mouth care system for 6 weeks, then try going back to your prior system and compare.

-Robert eliminated baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, threw away his glycerine toothpaste, uses Crest Anti-cavity, and can see a glow in his teeth. But he sees dark areas under crowns by the gums. Do people with partials need to do anything extra? You have more risk, use her total system ACT fluoride, keep toothbrushes clean. Brush partial with toothpaste and Listerine and rinse.

-Alexandra wants to know about doggie teeth. DO NOT use xylitol with dogs. Be aware you will share bacteria from a dog’s or partner’s mouth. Can transfer bacteria among people sharing wind instruments or harmonicas.

-Bridgette has an oozing gum near a particular tooth that doesn’t hurt. Take an X-ray – does the infection appear to come from the inside of the tooth – does it have a dead center? Comparing the tooth to an egg, if the “yolk” has died, there’s no way for the infection to get out other than traveling down to the root and exiting into the bone. If that is the case, get the tooth extracted. Don’t leave a dead tooth in your mouth. Can’t bring a dead tooth back to life. Or, is there some popcorn or floss stuck down there that damaged the gum? Brush with a clean toothbrush, massage well around the gum area. Might generate the lymphatic system to start dealing with the infection. Get your body healthy, eat good food.

-Dentists won’t tell you what you can do for herself.

-Lasers can do amazing things, more valuable than a scalpel, better healing.

-Zaneta is using Indian herbs instead of toothpaste, does some oil pulling, has gum recession. Oil pulling can wipe out all of the bacteria in the mouth. Testing showed a person who aggressively oil pulled with coconut oil had a clean mouth, not infected, but no biofilm and thus didn’t have the maintenance of healthy bacteria.

-Molars are a place for healthy bacteria to get entrenched. We need those grooves. Oil pulling might be helpful. Sesame oil is best. Oil pulling can be successful for gum disease but not cavities. Could cause receding gums. Receding gums means you lost the protection of the biofilm. Gum disease is different from receding gums. 50% of 30 year olds have gum diseases and they .

-First element in Dr. Ellie’s mouth care system is Closys, which is stabilized chlorine dioxide, TSP, and citric acid. Turns into oxygen which disrupts the anerobic bacteria. Give it 60 seconds in your mouth. Gets rid of lower-down compounds of bacteria in pockets.

-Brushing is a grossly inaccurate method of cleaning.

-Second step is Anti-Cavity Crest toothpaste. The paste, not the gel. Contains sodium fluoride and silica in a non-abrasive amount. Enamel gets worn away by anything with an abrasivity scale over 100. Because of huge clinical trials run on it in the 1960s, is the only toothpaste which can state on label that it stops cavities before they start.

-Leave toothpaste on teeth to protect the teeth and then vigorously rinse with Listerine for 10 seconds. Listerine is very acid. As effective as flossing in removing plaque between teeth.

-Then rise with ACT, a dilute (0.05%) sodium fluoride rinse. Fluoride is enhanced in an acidic environment; only time you want acidity in your mouth is when using fluoride.

-Ellie’s xylitol is birch-derived. Xylitol from non-GMO corn is similar. China is way ahead of us in xylitol use.

-Don’t confuse xylitol with erythritol nor sorbitol. Most xylitol gum is sorbitol with a tad of xylitol in it.

-Listener says Listerine has alcohol in it, alcohol kills everything in it, and thus it’s misleading to say you’re not killing. Dr. Ellie says you’re only using Listerine for maybe 10 seconds, it’s at a concentration that’s not destroying biofilm, and it’s not the final rinse. Don’t want to dry up the saliva with alcohol-containing products as a final rinse.

-Dr. Ellie’s OralDNA test showed no bad bacteria. A different test showed great diversity of good bacteria.

-Xylitol has no effect on mature plaque. Real effect of Listerine is on immature plaque bacteria. Listerine might be impeding spirochetes in gums.

-Don’t want to kill everything in the mouth with Chlorhexadine or Peridex. Good bacteria turn nitrates in the salivary glands into nitrites and then nitric oxide, which helps you breathe and open up airway tubes. They prevent peridontal pathogens and protect against periodontal disease.

-Gum pockets are a measure of loss of attachment. The tooth is attached by tiny hairs. The periodontal disease breaks the hair with toxins. The longer the infection is there in the pocket, the more damage occurs. Want to stimulate regrowth of hairs back again. Need to let your own body do that, let circulation bring in the nutrients. The Water Pik can stop the little hairs from growing. Give up the Water Pik and let the mouth heal.

-Devon likes to use apple cider vinegar for digestion. How does that play into Dr. Ellie’s system? Eat and drink whatever you like and then finish with xylitol. People believe ACV and lemon juice have an alkalizing effect on the body and therefore it won’t hurt the mouth – this is a myth. It may leave an alkaline ash, but it is acidic and will suck minerals out of the teeth and leave an unhealthy biofilm. Do it at the beginning of the meal and take xylitol at the end.

-How does effect of paleo diet foods compare to grains? Grains are sugar and carbs and start digesting in the mouth. If you have cavities or sealants, by blocking the grooves you’re taking away where the good bacteria live. It isn’t what you eat, it’s what you absorb, your digestive enzymes, your colon health, your stress level. Xylitol is fiber for probiotic bacteria, breaks down in colon to healthful butyrate. Prescribed for osteoporosis.

diet, got rid of IBS, was healthy, no burning mouth. Then she had a dental cleaning, and her mouth was burning again. The cleaning had stripped her mouth again of the biofilm. Everytime you strip away the biofilm, you lose natural protection.

-The biofilm protects against abrasion, erosion, cavities. How can you measure your mouth’s health? We don’t have the means to know now, except if you have disease.

-Goal of sustainable health and avoiding the need for any dental treatment.

-Teeth strength depend on what you’re doing to your teeth daily. Are tests to measure the hardness of teeth.

-Acid drinks like kombucha, lemon juice, soda will demineralize teeth. Healthy saliva at the right pH will go into the teeth and instantly repair the damage from the drink.

-Problems arise from snacking and sipping liquids, even water. These dilute the saliva.

-End the meal with a tooth protective meal. Cheese is best, also raw milk or cream, but not fermented, because lactic acid destroys teeth.

-Want to stimulate mineral rich saliva at the end of a meal. Xylitol generates the flow of alkaline saliva into the teeth. Is 5-carbon, different than 6-carbon sugar, and feeds all the bacteria in the mouth. Sugar makes teeth stickier, thicker, produces acids, and feeds the strep mutans. But strep can’t use the xylitol and with it plaque bacteria becomes slippier and easier to remove. Rnsing is more important than brushing.

-It’s not about killing, it’s about feeding the good bacteria.

-Teeth and oral health improve with Dr. Ellie’s mouth care system.

-Got started promoting xylitol with 10 employees of her husband’s restaurant business. After using xylitol, no employee had bad bacteria on OralDNA test except 1 employee had 1 bad bacteria. He was using a UV disinfectant system, which didn’t totally kill all the bacteria.

-Change toothbrushes more often. Clean them with Listerine. Use multiple toothbrushes to allow to dry 24 hours between use. Have multiple toothbrushes. Beware of cross-contamination.

-Should get 3 grams of xylitol a day. Get increasing benefits with more xylitol in a 3-10 grams window, but more than 10 grams a day won’t give any additional oral health benefits.

-Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda destroy the protein biofilm on the tooth. Patrick used them for years in his mouth care regime and had 9 bad bacteria on his OralDNA test.

-Xylitol makes teeth more slippery. Food sticks less. Xylitol gum is best – it picks up the food pieces. Don’t need to keep chewing gum – remove it after the sweetness is gone.
