Summary: Open letter to Stanley Friesen re: Teeth and enamel repair via microtubules.  REFERENCES & ?s for those who scoff.


Dear Stanley,

The references you are interested in about the enamel and microtubules
have been done at Loma Linda University. The first studies were done
n the 1960's by a Dr. Ralph Steinmann.

To the "knee-jerk scoffers": if the body metabolism has no effect on
the "inert enamel once deposited" why does the incidence of caries
suddenly decrease dramatically at about the age of 20 years?  Also,
why does the incidence of caries increase dramatically during
pregnancy unless sufficient calcium is ingested?  Perhaps sugar
intake, and dental hygeine habits, are suddenly altered at those
times?  "Come on, gimmee a break!"

To the question about the fluoride: I don't know the mechanism but the
holistic paradigm fits what is observed more easily than the 19th
century "facts" some people feel more comfortable with.
