Question 1

which is the order of mixing of oil, acacia, and water in the dry-gum method of making an emulsion?

Accepted Answer

Prednicarbate: Prednicarbate is a relatively new topical steroid. Depending on the amount ingested, i presume it was minute, likely nothing will happen.

Question 2

which is the order of mixing of oil, acacia, and water in making an emulsion?

Accepted Answer

Order not important: The process of emulsification is generally not order dependent.  The acacia is the emulsifier which will bind the oil and water phases.  You must add enough acacia in order for this to occur. Also the ration between oil and water should be about 1:3.

Question 3

can a simple micro-emulsion be made with everclear, lecithin, olive oil, and water?

Accepted Answer

No: Everclear it s a very concentrated solution of alcohol. Can cause burning of the skin and irritation.

Question 4

i have gum disease and i have 2 teeth that are a little bit loose, i cannot afford a dentist for now is there any remedy that i can use at home to tighten them like oil pulling, salt water or anything. i'm desperate?

Accepted Answer

: I understand your concern but dental issues need to be treated by a dentist. Seek help from a local hospital that has a dental department or UPR in San Juan. Either should provide you with low cost care. Failure to treat will result in the loss of those teeth.

Question 5

can i cleanse my body with oil? (like the oil cleansing method) my body doesn't tolerate soap i break out in hives. ive been using plain water so far.

Accepted Answer

Cetaphil: Is an alternative cleanser that does not have soap in it.  We use it a lot for allergic patients and patients with eczema.  It does not lather.  You may want to try it.

Question 6

is there a way to help rebuild the gum line alternatively to gum grafts. i heard that oil pulling can do this.. is it true? are there other methods?

Accepted Answer

Gingival Grafts: Unfortunately gum grafting is the only real accepted treatment that is medically based. Otherwise, dentist including periodontist (gum specialists) would offer other alternatives.

Question 7

are oil or water based ointments better for really dry skin?

Accepted Answer

Oil based: Water based products actually tend to dry skin further when the water content evaporates- it pulls skin moisture with it- kind of ironic.  So an oil base is better as long as it is non-acneogenic, to avoid pore clogging.

Question 8

why do i get dry mouth ? its so bad that i have to be shewing gum or get a zip of water just to get it moist

Accepted Answer

Check with MD first: This is an important question because you are much more likely to get decay with a dry mouth. See your md to see if this is a symptom of an illness or if it is caused by drugs you are taking. If nothing can be done for it then see your dentist for ideas to keep your mouth moist and decay prevention.

Question 9

my mouth gets really dry unless i drink water or chew some gum. i usually notice it more at night before bed. what could me the problem?

Accepted Answer

Medications?: Are you taking any other medications? as it seems that you have a dry mouth symdrome.

Question 10

how to treat dry skin....ive tried cocoa butter lotion, hair grease, hair oil, drink plenty of water but my skin still looks dry....

Accepted Answer

Get checked....: ...By your doctor for illness that can cause dry skin--mainly hypothyroidism--rule that out as a cause. Try using a vaporizer where you sleep. Shower in warm, not hot water. What are you taking 2 anti fungal drugs for? Could they be having some effect on your skin? See a dermatologist if necessary.
