Bob McFadden of Upper Macungie Township used to write songs about history and politics. These days, he’s writing songs about beating cancer and how St. Luke’s University Health Network doctors helped save his life.
Bob, 71, was on the drug Erleada to treat prostate cancer. Because the drug also has side effects, St. Luke’s urologist Frank Tamarkin, MD, and oncologist Heidar J. Albandar, MD,…

The miswak toothbrush and MRSA.
A very brief explanation about the natural antimicrobial effect of this toothbrush.
The miswak is a very interesting way to protect your teeth and gum. There are so many tools available to brush your teeth, but the problem lies in the toothpaste, which in te most cases does not contain any natural ingredients that not only cleanse our teeth, but also provide valuable minerals.
The miswaak, also named miswak, miswak stick, chew stick, is a teeth cleaning twig, made from certain trees, specially the arak. or the miswak tree.
The miswak is the oldest toothbrush you can find on Earth. Already in the time from Mesopotamia has this piece of wood been mentioned in documents. it can be dated back a thousands of years ago in the ancient empires of the Babylonians and later used by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.
In the islamic world, the miswak plays a major role, although not mentioned in the Qur’an, according to the Hadith.
Today. this natural toothbrush with medicinal properties is used by a majority of people in the muslim world to maintain oral hygiene and as a religious duty. And it is still commonly used in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and many countries around the world. People from Tibet and even the Himalayan countries use it to clean their teeth.
In an other way is it hardly known in the West but has been clinically tested and even the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the use of the miswak in 1986..
The toothbrush tree, or arak tree grows best in the deserts of Arabia, East Africa and the Middle East and the best thing about it is that you have toothpaste and toothbrush in one.
Researchers and pharmacists have looked at the Miswak and also found ingredients that are suitable for cleaning the teeth.
The following substances can be found in the Miswak:
fluorides
Silicon (for the maintenance of teeth)
potassium
sodium
calcium
magnesium
Gypsum crystals (for cleaning the teeth)
Tannins (they taste bitter, but have a calming effect on the mucous membranes and inhibit inflammation
and help with the healing process)
saponins
vitamin C
flavonoids
Chloride
All of these ingredients are naturally contained in the miswak, so you do not have to worry about toothpaste.
With advancing diagnostic capabilities and emerging technologies it is more clear that humans are under the threat of microorganisms.
One of them is the Streptococcus mutans, a facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive coccus – shaped bacterium commonly found in the human oral cavity and a significant contributor to tooth decay.
Around Twenty-five species of oral streptococci live in the oral cavity.Each species has developed specific specialized properties for colonizing different oral sites and constantly changing conditions to fight competing bacteria and to withstand external challenges.
Imbalances in these microbial biota can initiate oral diseases. This will either cause direct impact on many diseases like diabetes, coronary/heart and intestine diseases, even joint problems, or will result in difficulty in managing these chronic diseases. It is believed that oral bacterial challenge is the cause of diseases in multiple organ systems.
Without affecting beneficial bacteria, miswak toothbrush is found to reduce the bacterial count of streptococcus.
Miswak twigs do more than just kill bad bacteria. They kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria or superbugs, exactly what modern antibiotic drugs increasingly fail to do.
Here is a list of some of the worst multi-drug resistant bacteria – named for their initial resistance to their primary antibiotics:
• Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
• Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE)
• Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes
• Penicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis
• Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli
• Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
• Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens
• Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
• Carbapenem-resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
Other bacteria reduced by the Miswak twig included Haemophilus influenzae, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis.
The most common types of disease caused by for example H. influenzae type b (Hib) include pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, epiglottitis, septic arthritis, cellulitis, otitis media, and purulent pericarditis.
Other research evidence in multiple studies has found that Miswak inhibits the following microorganisms:
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Streptococcus mutans
• Streptococcus faecalis
• Streptococcus pyogenes
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
• Porphyromonas gingivalis
• Haemophilus influenzae
• Candida albicans
Research shows us that the miswak contains a number of natural antiseptics that kill harmful micro-organisms in the mouth, tannic acids that protect gums from disease, and aromatic oils that increase salivation. The Salvadora persica or arak tree for example has been shown in various studies as having also anti-viral properties, anti-fungal properties and anti-plaque capability. In addition, a review of research found that Miswak is antioxidant, analgesic (eases pain) and anti-inflammatory (curbs inflammation).
This organic toothbrush thus have antiseptics and other ingredients that strengthen the gum to fight gum bleeding, mouth ulcers
and even mouth cancer. Other ingredients in the miswak prevent teeth from coloring or decaying and thus cavities. By an already occuring tooth decay, miswaks seem to release a substance that soothes toothaches.
Its use also improves appetite and regulate peristaltic movements of the gastrointestinal tract.
The miswak’s bristles are parallel to the handle which allows it to reach more easily between the teeth, where the modern toothbrushes fail.
As regarding the oral hygiene can be said that using the miswak;
-causes the teeth to glow and creates a fragrance in the mouth by eliminates bad odors.
-improves the sense of taste and seems to clear the voice.
-strengthens the gums and prevents tooth decay.
-assists in eliminating toothaches and prevents further increase of decay which has already set in.
-is a cure for mouth diseases.
Due to the swallowing of the miswak substances while brushing the teeth there seem to be far more other benefits;
-the improving of the digestion.
-a cure for headaches.
-the strengthening of the eyesight.
-the improving of the memory and with it of course the Intelligence
How to use the miswak for best results.
The miswak is usually 15 cm long and about 1 cm in diameter and of course can it be further cut into suitable
lengths by the user. A length of 20 cm for adults and 15 cm for children is recommended for a good
of the grip and ease of altering.
The diameter of 1 cm, gives the stick enough strength to transmit the pressure of the cleansing action
to the teeth without breaking off.
The root should be whitish-brown in color; a dark brown color indicates that the Miswak is no longer fresh.
A very dry miswak can be expected to damage the gums and other oral tissues. If a stick is dry, the end for chewing should initially be soaked in water for 24 hours.
The fibers of the miswak should be clipped of every 24 hours
It should be noted that soaking for unduly long periods causes loss of active constituents and diminishes
the therapeutic properties, although the mechanical effects on the teeth can still be expected to occur.
Thank you for reading this article.
I Hope you learned a lot and you will make your way to healthier teeth.
