Is Water Giving You Cavities?

"The idea seems laughable. Water should be a neutral 7 on the pH scale of acidity and alkalinity. We drink it every day. We use it to rinse our mouths and brush our teeth. It should be helping to protect out teeth. But many sources of water may be acidic enough to damage tooth enamel. Read on and we’ll examine the pH level of several popular water sources. I’ll also tell you how you can neutralize the acid level of your water, and even make your own alkaline water.

A Quick Primer on the pH Scale
The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The middle of the scale is a 7. This is neutral—neither acid nor alkaline. Pure water is here. Substances that are acidic—like lemons, colas, and stomach acid—have lower pH levels. Alkaline substances—like baking soda, bleach, and ammonia—have higher numbers.

The pH scale is logarithmic. This means that every step along the scale is 10 times greater than the last step. A pH of 5 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 6. A pH of 4 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 5 and 100 times more acidic than a pH of 6. A Coca-Cola Classic (with a pH of 2.5) is over 10,000 times more acidic than a glass of whole milk (with a pH of 6.9). As you can see, things escalate rather quickly.

Tooth enamel starts to dissolve around 5.5 on the pH scale. Dentin, a substance beneath the enamel, starts to dissolve around 6.5. Dentin can be exposed at the gumline or through tooth wear. So if your teeth are perfectly healthy, you can tolerate a more acidic environment. But if you’re like most of us, you won’t want your teeth to spend significant time below 6.5 on the pH scale."


Remember that the pH of MMS1 used in the teeth brushing protocol measured 2.5

Hello, and thank you for all of the great information.
In this post you state:
Remember that the pH of MMS1 used in the teeth brushing protocol measured 2.5
Does this reminder mean that we should always be mixing mms for dental purposes with the highly alkalized H2O (based on the information in this article)?

That may be a good idea. If you use alkaline water to mix with MMS1, measure the pH with test strips. If close to 7.0 then that should be fine to use for teeth brushing. If the pH is too low, then try using CDS with added alkalized water and measure that combo. Of the three sodium chlorite solutions (SCS) I tested, CDS was the highest pH at about 4.8

Andreas Kalcker in his newest book, Forbidden Health, says this:

"While CD (MMS1) can also be used for the mouthwash (10 activated drops in 200 ml of water), CDS is the better choice due to its neutral pH that doesn't affect tooth enamel."

Note that Andreas' teeth brushing/mouth wash recipe uses almost twice the amount of added water to MMS1 as Jim Humble's recipe, so the pH would be higher
