It's good to get the tests, for a baseline; if later tests show numbers

drastically different it can alert you. I am healthy, eat well, exercise,

see an herbalist and a traditional Chinese practitioner. This TCP, who is

also an acupunturist (of course) and midwife, had me get my baseline tests

and she spent two weeks analyzing and correlating the results. When we went

over them line by line, we found by correlating some of her flagged items

that I have low stomach acid and am not absorbing all of the very healthy

food I eat, for example. The lab tests didn't show that of course, but her

process of correlating the results did. I would never have known without

her workup, as I don't have any specific symptoms.

There's no harm in having a baseline and then periodic tests, a blood test

is not the same as taking mainstream medicines to mask symptoms. Avoiding

tests because of fear of the results is not healthy - if indeed something

comes back that concerns you, you then have the information you need to make

changes for the better.

I am with you as well and haven't been to a doctor in probably 10 years.

Hi Carolyn,

Thats good to hear! :-) I was out to dinner with friends when they started

talking about Dr. appointments and when pressed I finally told them I hadn't

been in years and I got in big trouble. :-) I'm glad someone else is out there

like me. I tend to feel that you find problems when you look for problems. Thats

one reason as long as I've always felt healthy I didn't feel like I needed to go

to look for something wrong.

Thanks,

Judy

I mix hot water, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda together and then rinse my

mouth with it for 1-5 minutes. I also wet my tooth brush with hydrogen peroxide

and put baking soda on it. This works well.

My friend's daughter has soft teeth due to the mother having high fevers

while pregnant with her. She was worried her daughter had 3 cavities. I told

her about the iodine treatment posted here awhile back for stopping the bacteria

that cause cavities. She took her daughter to the dentist who said two of them

no longer were cavities - they were hardening. She said a third was growing

between two teeth and recommended they floss with dental floss dipped in iodine

to see if it kills the bacteria in there. She's now a believer in the iodine

treatment.

Here's a couple good articles I happened upon:

Â

http://www.care2.com/greenliving/homemade-toothpaste.html

http://green./blog/care2/4/40-fantastic-uses-for-baking-soda.html

Â

It's good to keep children away from flouride until they are atleast 7 years

old. At my dentist there was a warning about flouride decaying kids teeth under

that age. You shouldn't need to brush your kids teeth if you are breast feeding.

Â

Make sure your kids are getting the fermented codliver oil. If they

aren'tÂ getting raw milk then they should probably have the high vitamin butter

oil too. These will be sufficient sources of vitamins a, d, and k. Raw milk is

also a great source of minerals. Have beef or chicken bone broth from

" Nourishing Traditions " too.

Â

I personally feel brushing with a hard brissled truth brush is best but you a

lot of people would be turned off by it because it hurts so much. It scrapes up

your gums but within a week the gums get perfectly used to it and it no longer

hurts. You may want to adapt to flussing before you consider going that route

though.

Awww man, too bad it ends before the lady tells us any specific things to do

(besides avoid toothpaste and hard brushing)! She said that you can reverse

decay quickly in a matter of days and weeks if you do what she teaches, but then

it is over. Have to purchase the whole conference recording I guess.

Despite 18+ months of breast feeding and being raised on whole foods and little

sugar and for the past few years raw milk, my 3 kids all have terrible teeth. I

think it is from the baby tooth paste we used for years on them which is

primarily glycerine which coats the teeth and prevents remineralization. I just

don't know what I should do now. Our oldest daughter had baby root canals and

fillings done when she was four and now that she is eight our new pediatric

dentist (the adult dentist didn't mention anything) says that there is more

decay now around those fillings in her molars and they need to be dug out and

filled again. How deep can a cavity be and still heal itself? Is there any

chance we can stop the decay beneath and beside a composite filling? I need to

start supplementing extra Vit D and K. I may be able to floss them with iodine,

but I doubt I can get the kids to rinse with hydrogen peroxide and I'm a little

scared to. Even the iodine bottle

says POISON on it, for external use only.

I don't know about fillings but keep in mind that some of mercury in them.

MercuryÂ is toxic in such high quantitiesÂ and will cause problems down the

line. Fluoride should be completely avoided too. Gerber's baby food may likely

cause cavities and in that case it is a good idea to brush the teeth.

Â

Another mineral that is good to have is magnesium chloride.

Â

http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/magnesium-gallon-p-820.html

Â

This site talks about how to apply it and how much to take. 90% of people in the

world are deficient in magnesium and no amount of modern foods will supply our

needs within a reasonable budget.
