Toothpaste and mouthwash

1st December 1847

[1] So write a little recipe for our sick Wilhelmine-Gabiela!

[2] My dear little daughter! You have a true little cross with your rotten teeth; but just have patience a little longer, then it will get better. See, because I afflict you with such diseases that are not dangerous to life, you are spared from such diseases, which are less painful, but are all the more dangerous to physical life.

[3] Only take a few days more diligently for purging and do not eat fruit for a while, because it makes your blood thick and acidic! Keep your feet warm, never eat too hot and avoid drafts! Even now that you are afflicted with this disease, do not get out of bed too early, because the morning sweat is always the best remedy for such rheumatic ailments! So you will feel better soon and always.

[4] Do not rub the suffering tooth, or go around it with your tongue, or suck the tooth, because such actions irritate the naked nerves too much – so too the pain will be lost the sooner.

[5] In winter also, as in other windy and wet weather, you must make a soapsuit of cotton for your ears, and make two loose lumps of pure cotton, and wrap a piece of camphor, the size of a grain of semolina, in each lump, and then plug your ears with this lump. That will already protect you quite well from future rheumatisms together with My help.

[6] In time, however, because of your fear, you can have your rotten roots pulled out at home, and you will feel little pain. Then you will be completely spared from your suffering in the future, although you will not suffer much more if you observe these simple rules. Sometimes a little suffering doesn't hurt any soul!

[7] If you are in severe pain, put horseradish on your neck and the soles of your feet. And if someone has magnetic power, dip their ring finger in fresh water and draw seven rings behind your ears in the evening, the pain will immediately subside.

[8] But mainly have a completely living trust in Me, so you will soon and forever be without pain!

[9] Also, if you will not be angry so often about vain things, you will get pure blood.

[10] Finally, a good mouthwash: Take a small handful of sage leaves and boil them in a half mug of water. When the water has turned greenish, drain it, let it become lukewarm, and rinse your mouth with it! But do this daily, and you will never again have a toothache, especially if you follow the simple diet above.

[11] Now you have a good recipe, not only for yourself, but also for your brothers and sisters and others who are suffering from such evil. But this recipe will only then render good service when your trust in Me becomes fully alive. This gives and say I, your best doctor! Amen. Amen. Amen.
