Guest guest Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 WISE THINKING, Mel! We have made our own toothpaste for years, several different ways, all very easy. At first you might " miss " the foaming action of toothpaste, but it is totally unnecessary, as are all the toxic ingredients (most toothpaste contain several types of artificial sweeteners and other toxins) We had mixed a little sea salt, drop of peppermint oil (the natural stuff-or even crushed mint leaves) with virgin coconut oil (which is solid at room temp, not really an oil) I didn't care for the mouthfeel of the cocnut oil. Now, we just use a blend of 3 parts baking soda to one part sea salt, and sometimes add a drop of peppermint-my daughter likes the peppermint, but I no longer desire that taste after brushing-I like just the " clean " . You can store it in a mason jar, and you can put in a sprig of rosemary, thyme, or half of a cinnamon stick to flavor it. I keep my powder blend in a sugar dispenser in my bathroom cabinet-I just moisten my toothbrush with peroxide (I keep that in a spray bottle too) and shake some of the powder on to my brush. Works a charm! I am OBSESSIVE about water-soooo much bad stuff in tap water, municipal water supplies and bottled water-which is often nothing more than bottled tap water! I am fortunate that my ex hubby has a wonderful artesian well, and he brings me 5 gallon jugs of water which I keep on a hot/cold dispenser and use for cooking and drinking. When I am traveling, I buy spring water in GLASS-expensive and hard to find, but worth it (I have had various waters tested) If I MUST by it in a plastic jug, I pour it into a glass pitcher as soon as possible and let it " breath " before covering it. > > . I just found out how TOXIC fluoride actually is. So I'm trying to find ways to get the Fluoride out of what we drink and use. > > I watched videos on youtube and I know that you make your own everything. One guy mixes equal parts of aluminum free baking soda and coconut oil and dash of mint. > > Do you do this? And once you have made the mixture, how do you store it? > > And one more thing.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Melody, We drink Deer Park water. We sometimes drink Penta water but it is very expensive. Currently Nic and I are using Tom's toothpaste without fluoride. Joe prefers salt and baking soda, to harsh for my gums. I am looking at some recipes to try. You can purchase Rumfields Baking Powder which is aluminum free. I also use a Deodorant Rock for my antiperspirant. That is all I can think of right now. > .

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Oh, and as for replacing minerals in water-don't bother-you get plenty in your lovely sprouts! Adding TRUE sea salt into your diet is one way to add minerals, but you are likely getting far more than adequate amounts just from your health diet. " Enriched " foods and added minerals are the food industry's way of making up for taking the good nutrients out in the first place! They get rid of the good stuff, then " enrich " it with sprayed on " nutrients " which are from mostly artificial sources, lol. > > > > . I just found out how TOXIC fluoride actually is.
