The Downfall of Fluoride
Well, it’s finally happening. Slowly but surely, fluoride is being removed from the municipal drinking waters. And it’s about time. Utah was the first state to pass a law to remove it. And now Florida. Just a matter of time before your home state is next. Recent studies have shown that Fluoride will lower the IQ of children by at least 5 points. Not to mention fluoride will adversely affect your health in so many other ways. (see the diagram below or read our many posts

How to Take Control of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal (gum) disease is a broad term for conditions involving inflammation and infection of the tissues (gum and bone) that surround and support the teeth. Being that the mouth is a microcosm for other body parts, it is important to heal this gum disease ASAP, to prevent further deterioration of the rest of your health. Periodontitis is a very common type of gum disease among U.S. adults: About 4 in 10 U.S. adults 30 years or older had a mild, moderate, or severe level o

Scurvy Tea- A Healthy Detox Drink
As most of you already know, detoxing is crucial to regaining health and staying well. I’ve written and spoken much about heavy metal cleanses, and there are so many ways to do this (Search the blogs or buy my book My Secrets to Regaining Health on Amazon). But the missing link to this detoxing is the parasite cleanse. Don’t kid yourself. Everyone has parasites. It’s in the air, water and food supply. If you have any pets, you have parasites. If you eat unwashed fruits

Chlorella is also an excellent animal-free Omega 3 source, and it has natural anti-inflammatory properties. This superfood can support the circulatory syst

Screening for Oral Cancer
Mouth and throat cancers are on the rise. And the number one cause of these types of cancers is not from smoking, and not from alcohol use. These used to be the most common causes, but times have changed. Nowadays, the number one cause of oral cancer is from the HPV virus. So what is the HPV virus? According to recent studies, 79 million Americans are presently living with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The number of people who have oral HPV has continuously increased ove

Vitamin K-2 for Healthy Teeth and Bones
When we think about how we can make our teeth and bones stronger, the first Vitamin that comes to mind is Vitamin D. As we discussed in our previous post (Vitamin D: How much do we need?) Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and teeth. But you will see here that it is so much more effective when taken with Vitamin K-2. Vitamin K-2, or menaquinone, is the missing link that Dr. Weston Price referred to when he did his studies of nutrition, dental health, and physical heal

Nourishing Pumpkin Soup
When cleaning out the freezer this weekend, I noticed that I had a few bags of frozen pumpkin puree. I had just finished making a fresh batch of BONE SOUP , so it seemed like the perfect time for making the bone soup into pumpkin soup. The way I make Pumpkin Soup is quite simple and quite delicious. Unlike most recipes for pumpkin soup, my version has no dairy, no brown sugar, and is full of nutrients. My recipe below is very basic. You can adjust quantities of spices and ma

Stopping Tooth Decay
Every now and then, I have a patient who is not a perfect candidate for dental work. Usually, there is a cavity that needs to be filled but the patient can’t sit still long enough to have a filling done. These patients are either very young (under the age of 5) or considerably aged. Either way there are compliance issues and they can’t cooperate enough to have a filling completed. Standard protocol would usually require for the dental work to be done under general anesthesia
