Q:
Is it ok to use a peppermint toothpaste when taking homeopathic remedies?
Dr Cowden's Answer: It is OK to use this toothpaste if
you dose the homeopathics on your skin & rub them in a few minutes AFTER
you thoroughly rinse the toothpaste out of the mouth.
Q:
There is an article from the "American Association of Homeopathic
Pharmacists" explaining that waiting 10-15 minutes before/after taking the
meds will be ok.
Dr Cowden's Answer: I disagree with them
because brushing with peppermint toothpaste a few minutes after a homeopathic
dose often quenches its action before it can work fully.
Q:
Another option is just using baking soda + sea salt to brush. Would that be OK?
Dr Cowden's Answer: That would work also. Or
one could dilute 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide (which is stored in the
freezer) to 1% or 2% hydrogen peroxide solution in pure water, then store that
diluted hydrogen peroxide in the refrigerator in a 1 ounce dropper bottle and
immediately before brushing each time add a few drops of it to the
aluminum-free baking soda to make the toothpaste.
Many
of these techniques & principles used by me & other integrative
medicine doctors to help patients get well, when allopathic medicine fails, are
described in video courses on the website for the Academy (www.acimconnect.com).
