What Can My Mother Do for a Lump in Her Gum?

Posted By Ruth (Kentucky) on 03/07/2016

My mother has for months now suffered with a lump that is on her lower gums. It started small and now it has flared and grown to the place where her bottom teeth have shifted. She went to two dentists, both took x-rays and both could not determine what it was. One told her in the x-ray he couldn't even see her jaw bone. Then they proceeded to tell her that she would need to have surgery and she would lose her bottom teeth (and THEY stated that would be a shame because "her teeth are so healthy).

My mother believes in naturally healing. She has been fighting breast cancer now for two years successfully with a natural protocol and so this lump in her mouth is really taking a toll on her mentally. She has not tried garlic, and to be clear the lump doesn't hurt. It is a place that she has two past injuries and her acupuncturist stated he thought it was a "deep bruise." I'm afraid of her going to the dentist and them scaring her into thinking it's something much worse than what it is, but it's getting to the point where we have seen some progress with acupuncture, but not enough. She is losing sleep over the "what if's" and I have researched everything possible and always come back to garlic.

I'm just not sure what garlic protocol she should do for a lump/boil that might not be filled with anything because it's not painful. Would garlic still work I guess is what I'm trying to ask, or would it just flare it up even more?

Ruth, we've had success with such things, using clay poultices. I would cut a smallish square of coffee filter paper, put clay in the middle, fold it up to a small "package", wet it, and apply at the site of the bump. I just made up how many times a day to do this and for how long each time before I threw it away.

Sometimes simple means are the best. How about very warm chamomile tea kept in the mouth and done several times a day? Do spit it out and brew new tea every day. Stop worrying and be relaxed preventing negative thoughts that obstruct healing.

All the best, Namaste, Om

The lump could be the result of a deep abscess in the jaw bone. The drainage from an abscess sometimes creates a lump like that. It could possibly be oral cancer too. Mom needs expert care on this. A dentist might or might not be able to properly diagnose a tumor starting in her mouth. Garlic is very powerful but very hot and painful. She might not be able to tolerate it very long. Cayenne pepper is not quite as hot as garlic and it has strong healing properties to it plus it has anticancer and antibacterial properties. If the lump is from a deep abscess then cayenne would be a good choice to put there frequently. You can also put anticancer herbs there in the mouth and just let them sit there awhile.don't brush with fluoridated toothpaste! Fluoride is an immune system supressant. Instead use a toothpaste callred vita-myr. It is based on herbs, zinc, co q 10 and lots of good stuff that fights germs and oral cancer. As for staying cancer free you got to pay careful attention to diet. You must eat mostly fresh raw organic foods with very little cooked foods. zero dairy (igf-1 is very bad for cancer) and eat very little if any meat. Mom needs juice juice and more juice freshly made in your home juicer. Almost all root vegetables are anticancer. Juice them up! Greens like parsley are very strong anticancer. Juice them up! a big thing, you can not eat any cancer causing foods like aspartame, msg or the worst modified food starch! this stuff causes cancer to speed up its growth rate to maximum levels. Cancer cells have glutamate receptors on them. When they get glutamate it acts like rocket fuel. The cancer cells grow pseudopodia, octopus like tentacles which they invade nearby tissue. Have mom watch a video titled "dying to have known" on youtube. This will explain 99 percent of what she needs to know. For more information on cancer survival see cancer tutor.com. see ya

Hello Ruth

What about oil pulling for your Mother? Benefits of oil pulling too long to list here but I do know it definitely helps with dental problems such as loose teeth, swollen gums, abscesses, etc. If you've never heard of oil pulling Earthclinic will explain it to you. Wishing your Mother good health!
