So here’s important lesson. If your physical pain does not want to go away, and you tap and tap and tap, you have to look for the feeling related to that pain. I also tapped along myself and my neck pain didn’t want to go away, but when I tapped on the bad feeling that happened in the morning, my pain went away.

FIRST POINT

I release and let go, all sadnesses

SECOND POINT

I release and let go, all fears

THIRD POINT

I release and let go, all emotional trauma

FOURTH POINT

I release and let go, helplessness, hopelessness, the stress and anxieties and everything else, it is safe to let it go

GRAB WRIST

Breath in and out, peace….

Second round, I release and let go and tap the points

Cheers

Second time I had same problems but I was not 100 % raw, I was like 90%. Third time happened this month and after 5 days of raw, my enamel was just melting away and exposing dentin. I am telling you all, I am cursed. I want to go raw, but I think I would need to make caps on all teeth.

But this article is kind of promising. The author who is raw for like 20 years and looks amazing, is telling us to use soft brush and shower floss. No toothpaste. Only shower floss attachment and soft toothbrush.

Here is the article. Happy reading!

Don’s Dental Issues Blog

This is the “opinion” section of my website, therefore you will find plenty of opinions here. I like to take the high road, but not when doing so puts people’s health at risk in some respect. I hope you’ll take that into consideration as you read through these posts.

Jameth Sheridan on the high fruit diet

I’m not buying Jameth Sheridan’s explanation that fruit sugar feeds mouth bacteria better than the sugar in candy (“because fruit sugar is live, it’s vital, it has life force…”) His answer to dental decay of “don’t eat that much fruit” is not a credible answer to me. He’s right when he says that fruit is low in minerals, implying that we should eat green leafies (although he doesn’t state this, favoring his superfood products I guess). And to say that fruit eaters get transparent teeth is alarmist. I know people who eat a lot of fruit and they don’t get transparent teeth. They eat a balanced diet of fruit and green leafies, they DO take a multi or green powder, and they do practice good dental hygiene. And think about this: if you clench while sleeping, loosening teeth and thus creating pockets, but eat a low sugar / higher fat+complex carb diet, you’ll have less dental decay in those pockets than if you were to eat a normal (“high”) amount of fruit. So just as we shouldn’t blame diabetes on fruit sugar, we shouldn’t necessarily blame dental carries on fruit sugar. And his statement, “I’ve never met a long term fruitarian who was healthy or who didn’t cheat” carries no weight with me. What if those long term high fruit eaters he met who were unhealthy weren’t adhering to ALL the basics of health, or who weren’t making/getting enough D and B12, or who felt that they needn’t floss/brush because in nature they wouldn’t, or who weren’t getting a proper “sugar:minerals ratio” (lots of fruit so lots of sugar but the green leafies weren’t grown on the most nutrient dense soils; this is why I advocate supplementing with a green powder and/or a multi).

************************************************************************

The advantages of dry-brushing

I favor using only a dry brush (no toothpaste). Blot the brush on a paper towel, tap the slobber out on the basin or “sip” the fluids out of the bristles periodically (my preferred technique). To “blot” the groove between the teeth and gums, direct the soft bristles at a 45 degree angle beneath the gum tissue and wiggle the handle of the brush back and forth about ten seconds in each area. It’s the mechanical action of the bristles that effectively loosens the sticky bacterial colonies in plaque, not so much the chemicals on the brush. Liquid, toothpaste, etc. mainly clogs the spaces between the bristles of the brush that, if left dry, allow plaque to be lifted out of the gingival sulcus (that groove between the gums and the tooth) by capillary action.

> Why do many people have the experience [dental problems] mentioned here:

> www.curetoothdecay.com/Tooth_Decay/tooth_cavity_vegan.htm

When people who eat a vegan diet develop dental problems, it’s for a reason, and that reason is not because they stopped eating animal products. And I hope we’re not going to entertain the notion that some humans have the DNA to be able to eat a plant-based diet and be perfectly healthy, and other humans don’t have the DNA for it and require animal food to be optimally healthy, because this is simply not true. Every animal on this planet has a “species specific diet”; the diet to which that animal is designed to eat (and to eat the foods of their designed diet as those foods appear in nature and not processed, which includes cooking). Humans are no different. If you get a roomful of experts on the giraffe, for example, they may have different opinions on whether giraffes should be kept in zoos or not, but they will all agree on what a giraffe is designed to eat. All of them. And it’s usually difficult to get a roomful of experts to agree on anything. But not on the diet of hippos, ants, hummingbirds, and of all the animals on this planet, expect for one… humans. This is because of misinformed/miseducated people due to the tons of mis- and dis-information that abound, and this is because of either the profit motive or personal preference, i.e. believing what we’d rather believe, as opposed to believing in the truth.

I’ve been eating a vegan diet for over 30 years, and an all-raw (all uncooked) fruit and leafy greens diet for over 18 years, and so far so good. I phrase it this way because we really won’t know if our chosen way of eating worked for us until we see if we did or didn’t get a diagnosis of something serious, which won’t be for another 25 years or so in my case. And since I won’t have a time machine to be able to go back to age 20 and try a different approach if I do get cancer or Alzheimers when I’m older, it’s important for me to make correct choices now… which is why I’ve spent 35 years researching the issue of optimal health. So we’re going to be stuck with the ramifications of whatever diet we decide to eat. I hope the diet you decide to eat is decided by you and you alone; don’t embrace what seems to sound good to you or what “resonates” with you. Base your decisions on hard-science, empirical evidence, sound logic, and common sense.

But back to teeth. As far as dental problems being caused by lack of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) or proteins, a plant-based diet of fruits (both sweet and non-sweet) and leafy greens do have all the EFAs and protein one would need to be healthy if those substances are not damaged by cooking, and if one is eating enough of these foods (meaning you must be active enough to warrant enough calories worth of food to get enough EFAs and protein), and if you are eating a variety of foods (a diet of just oranges and romaine lettuce will result in dental problems). It’s amazing how the fact that cooking damages EFAs and protein is not known by those who weigh in on the issue of diet. Even traditionally educated nutritionists aren’t taught what happens to the various components of food when they are subject to heat.

Re: dental problems. If you could ask dentists what percentage of their patients with dental problems are vegans, you’d get a very low number. But, as I said, there are vegans (and raw foodists) with dental issues. One reason is the increase of grain products and other “acid forming” foods when going vegan. Excess acidity in the bloodstream causes the body to use stored alkaline minerals, calcium especially, to neutralize the acid condition. This will, over time, demineralize bone, and that includes teeth.

Those raw foodists who developed major dental problems in my experience were found to be eating a lot of citrus fruits, little to no leafy greens (excellent source of minerals assuming enough minerals in the soil), and waaaaay too many nuts (metabolizes acidically).

I wonder if the most damaging practices to teeth are discussed in Ramiel Nagel’s book, such as:

1. Fluoridation (actually promotes tooth decay).

2. Using toothpastes that contain glycerin (which coat the teeth and prevent remineralization of the enamel) which is basically all toothpastes.

3. Brushing with anything but a “soft” toothbrush.

4. Clenching/grinding teeth while sleeping which can loosen them allowing pockets to form where bacteria can develop and it’s difficult for the body to effectively deal with bacteria in these pockets.

5. Improper flossing (irritates gums causing them to recede exposing non-enameled parts of the teeth which are more easily damaged by acids).

6. Products (that can be termed “vegan”) that demineralize teeth such as soda, and acid-forming foods such as soy and grain products via the mechanism mentioned above.

7. Dried fruits (sticky sugars linger on teeth feeding bacteria whose “poop” is acidic and damages enamel).

8. Too much nut and seed consumption (prevalent among many raw food vegans). The body controls mouth pH, and will raise mouth pH after a meal of nuts (probably to deal with the particles of nuts that remain in the mouth) and this will have a deliriousness effect on tooth enamel over time.

9. Consuming hot and cold things. Divergence from normal mouth temperature by the amounts experienced when consuming ice cream or tea for example contracts and expands the enamel and over time causes “cracks” to form which weakens teeth but more importantly allows bacteria to enter those crevices where brushing can’t get to them. This is especially pronounced in the areas of dissimilar materials such as where natural tooth meets metal filling (the thermal expansion properties of enamel and metal are different and increase the “cracking factor”).

10. When moving away from unhealthy processed food that is fortified with certain nutrients, it is important to make sure that you still get those nutrients now that they are not being provided to you via those fortified products. Some of the more important of these nutrients are vitamins D and B12. Many processed foods marketed to vegans are not fortified with any nutrients. And if the raw fruits and vegetables that raw food vegans eat are lacking in any essential nutrients because they come from an agricultural-based system, someone could bump up against a nutrient deficiency, which, in the case of vitamin D, can impact bone health and thus dental health.

So as you can see, there are other factors to the issue that need to be considered, including genetics (some people have stronger or weaker enamel; those with weaker enamel may want to rinse their mouths with something that kills bacteria before going to sleep, like a diluted clove oil).

Kevin Gianni on a high fruit diet and dental problems

> “The other thing you need to be careful about is that

> eating a high fruit diet can effect your teeth.

> I know, you’ve heard people say this isn’t so. I have too.

> But I can’t deny the EVIDENCE that I’ve seen and heard

> from people who’ve tried it and had their teeth

> literally start to fall out.” – Kevin Gianni

I haven’t found anyone who tried eating a high fruit diet and their teeth fell out. I think I’m way past the point of “trying it” and I’ve still got my teeth… teeth that, by the way, were ravaged by all the candy and sugar laden crap I ate as a child and teen (13 cavities). Now, no cavities. Of course this doesn’t mean that the adoption of a high fruit don’t shouldn’t bother anyone’s teeth; I’m not saying there haven’t been people who switched to a high fruit diet and had problems with their teeth, but just like you can’t blame diabetes on carbs even though if you stop eating sugar, blood sugar will be more stable (but you’ll be getting your calories from a high fat diet so you’ll degrade your health in other ways), you can’t blame tooth problems on the sugar from fruit. (Although Kevin phrases it “Sugars – from fruit or not” as if all sugars are created equal). If you’re not getting enough minerals because you’re either not eating enough greens or the foods you *are* eating are minerally deficient, and/or if you weren’t getting enough minerals before you adopted a high fruit diet and thus have compromised teeth, and/or are producing a lot of acid because of emotions, and/or if you have “weak” enamel genetics… and are not compensating by supplementing, flossing, dry brushing, and rinsing with a bacteria killer, than, yes, one could end up with some dental problems when adopting a high fruit diet. And did Kevin mention rinsing before bed? I think it’s a big help.

Bottom line: there are so many reasons someone could be having dental problems when eating a lot more sweet fruit, to deal with the problem by making people question the validity of a high fruit diet is not the answer to the problem. My take: 1. be as sure as you can that you are consuming enough minerals, like you would have from food eaten from the wild, which may mean you take a multi that has highly bioavailable minerals. 2. brush and floss and rinse before bed. 3. stay away from dried fruit and go easy on the dates. 4. And maybe do like some primates do and eat a little green leafies after a sweet fruit meal; maybe the reason the instinctively do this is to bath the teeth in “mineralized juice” to neutralize any acid production or maybe it washes the teeth of any lingering sugars. Who knows.

Eco-Dent Tooth Powder

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda), Tartaric Acid, Sodium Methyl, Cocoyl Taurate, Calcium Peroxide, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate, Sea Salt, Hydrated Silica, Peppermint oil, Myrrh.

If you are not used to a toothpowder, this product may seem a little strange. The powder is hard to spread onto the brush until you take the top off, pour a small amount on your hand and use a wet toothbrush to pick it up.

However, once you get used to it, you will quickly see that this is one of the best commercial brands out there. It has no fluoride, no glycerin, no sodium lauryl sulfate, and no dyes or sweeteners. It comes in two versions, one with Calcium Peroxide which is a natural tooth whitener and one without. The bicarbonate of soda, salt and peroxide all provide strong anti-bacterial agents. However, Eco-dent actively helps in the remineralization of your teeth. First the powder ensures your teeth are clean and free from any sticky glycerin coating. Next, as you add water to the toothpaste, CO2 is created which combines with your saliva to product carbonic acid. Unlike the strong acids from foods which eat away at the enamel, the carbonic acid dissolves the minerals in your saliva (which come from the foods you eat) to remineralize the teeth and strengthen the latticework of your enamel. When too many mineral ions are dissolved from our enamel by the acids from our food and bacteria, the enamel’s fine latticework structure breaks down irreversibly, and a cavity results.

This toothpowder also has some other great benefits. You only need a very small amount, and the container will last for a long, long time. Once you get the hang of applying the powder by using a small amount on the palm and using the wet toothbrush to pick up the powder, it’s easy to use.

Pro’s – Remineralizes teeth naturally and contains no harmful ingredients, dyes or sweeteners. Lasts a long time. Very good value for money. Perfect for travel.

Con’s – Some prefer toothpaste. Hard to apply if you try and squeeze powder from the container lid. If you aren’t benefiting from this product, and dry-brushing would be just as effective, if not better, then you are wasting your money and bothering with something you needn’t bother with.

Why the dental problems?

In my years of counseling raw foodists I have come across some people who have problems with their teeth after they’ve adopted a high (normal) fruit diet. Some mistakenly take this to mean that humans are not designed for a high fruit diet, but this is incorrect.

As with most health related issues, dental problems are not so cut-and-dried. Why do some people who adopt an all raw vegan diet have dental problems, and some don’t? Here’s where individuality comes into play. There are a number of contributing factors.

Firstly, yes, fruit tends to be lower in minerals than green leafy vegetables, so this would suggest that we should also consume some green leafy vegetables (I have some almost every day), but this doesn’t mean that the majority of our diet should be green leafy vegetables, because we wouldn’t be able to get enough calories.

Here are some contributing factors to dental problems… keep in mind some of these will apply to some people and some won’t.

Fruit sugar does feed bacteria in the mouth, and when these bacteria are well-fed, they multiply. So you’re likely going to have more of these guys when eating a high (normal) fruit diet than when eating a low fruit diet (and grains and fat for fuel). It is NOT the sugar that damages teeth (you can take a tooth and place it in a glass of sugar water and nothing will happen to it, but try a glass of soda – which contains phosphoric acid – and that tooth will go bye-bye). Bacteria are living organisms, and like all living organisms, they poop, and their poop is acidic, and THIS is what damages teeth.

If you have good “dental genetics”, and you weren’t given a lot of antibiotics when your adult teeth were forming (they weaken teeth for life), and you are getting and utilizing all the minerals our body needs to maintain strong teeth, then you should have healthy teeth even on a high fruit diet. But if your dental genetics are not as perfect as they could be, and/or you received a lot of antibiotics as a child (tetracycline specifically), and/or you are not getting all the minerals your body needs, you are more prone to dental problems when adopting a high fruit diet.

Even though our ancestors didn’t need to brush their teeth to avoid cavities, I personally need to do good dental hygiene to keep from getting cavities on this diet. And others need to do this too. I have researched the dental issue for a long time, and here’s what I do:

I “dry brush”. Dentists in the know will tell you that 99.99% of all toothpastes contain glycerin which coat the teeth. This was thought to protect the teeth from the ravages of the acidic bacteria poop, but it doesn’t. What it DOES do is keep your saliva from remineralizing the teeth, which helps to prevent cavities. You could put other things on your toothbrush, like Peelu Tooth Powder (www.vitacost.com/Peelu-Dental-Fibers), but you’ll tend to do a more thorough job of brushing if you have nothing on your brush. Then use only a soft brush (not “medium” and certainly not “hard”). This is the BEST brush (http://tinyurl.com/23no8e8) in the world (yes, you must buy in quantity, but they make great gifts). If you feel you must have something on your brush, try Peelu Tooth Fibers (vitacost.com/Peelu-Dental-Fibers) or

EcoDent Powder (www.vitacost.com/Eco-dent-Daily-Care-Toothpowder).

I floss before bedtime. If I’ve eaten something like stringy mango, which can get stuck in between teeth, I floss after this type of meal. I do not recommend trying to get the floss under the gums the way dentists show you, that is the job of the tooth brush bristles when you brush at a 45 degree angle to the gum-line. I floss just to remove food that is trapped in between teeth, AND to disturb any bacterial colonies. I also use a showerfloss; it’s like a water pic that you use in the shower. It’s great because you don’t have to worry about making a mess… because you’re in the shower!

I also rinse my mouth just before going to sleep with diluted clove oil (one teaspoon to 8 ounces of water, www.nowfoods.com/Products/PersonalCare/Products/M004118.htm). This disturbs mouth bacteria. I know there are some Natural Hygienists who bristle at the thought of doing this, but I believe in dealing with reality and not doing things based on “we shouldn’t have to…”

Some health advocates will say that to combat dental problems “don’t eat so much fruit”. Okay, but then where will you get your fuel from… fat and/or complex carbs in grain and dairy products? That can’t be the answer.

For completeness’s sake, I should mention one other contributing factor to cavities. If you clench or grind your teeth while sleeping, this can loosen teeth creating pockets between tooth and gum where bacteria can live and go to town. You may clench or grind and not even know it. But if you wake up with a sore jaw, it’s probably because of this. If you do this (and a competent dentist should be able to tell you if you do), wear a dental guard (doctorsnightguard.com) while sleeping so the teeth aren’t loosened or otherwise damaged, and follow the other oral hygiene tips mentioned above, especially rinsing with clove oil if you already have loosen teeth (and they aren’t so loose that you can tell by wiggling them; they’re just loose enough where bacteria can get into the pocket).

************************************************************************

The criteria I use when choosing a dentist are:

* The dentist should do amalgam fillings removal and be proud of it, even mentioning it in any written lists of procedures (like on their website). If they say they “can” do it, that’s not good enough for me.

* Do they do amalgam fillings? You can ask, “do you ever use mercury amalgam fillings?” If ‘yes’ I’d not go there.

* I ask how new is the equipment they use that protects the patient when mercury fillings are removed. There have been many advancements in this area, and dentists who really care about their patients will upgrade to the best equipment, and this says a lot about the dentist. This question is best asked of the dentist; office managers usually won’t know the answer.

* Ask what protocols they recommend before and after mercury filling removals. If they don’t recommend anything specific, run. A good dentist knows the value of consuming chlorella before and after mercury removal, and may even mention cilantro (these having to do with heavy metal removal; some mercury may get into your system even with the best protective equipment). You can buy Sun Chlorella in the supplement section of Whole Foods and many health food stores, and fresh cilantro can be bought at Whole Foods.

* A good way to tell if the dentist is keeping up with the times, AND providing the safest equipment is to see what kind of x-ray machine s(he) has. Digital x-rays are safer than the old fashioned kind. You can tell if they’re digital by asking, “When the x-rays are taken, can they be seen immediately on a computer monitor?” If ‘no’, I’d go elsewhere.

* If the dentist is advertised as a cosmetic dentist, or specializes in cosmetic dentistry, I’d steer clear, even if the ad also says they do restorative dentistry. What can happen is that the dentist ends up doing mostly cosmetic dentistry and gets out of touch with restorative dentistry, both from a new technologies perspective and from a skills perspective.

* Since you’re going to get those mercury fillings replaced with something else, ask if the dentist does Clifford testing (biocompatibility testing) http://ccrlab.com There are different formulations of composite fillings, and some may have materials in them that react badly with your body. Some people pooh-pooh this test, and I can’t tell for 100% sure one way or the other, but I think that if it DOES have merit, why not use it. It requires you to go to a lab that draws blood, and they draw some and put in the mailer that the dentist provided you. While this probably shouldn’t be a “deal breaker” when choosing a dentist, it’s something to consider.

“CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. The system is manufactured in Bensheim, Germany. The cavity preparation is first photographed and stored as a three dimensional digital model, and proprietary software is then used to approximate the restoration shape using biogeneric comparisons to surrounding teeth. The practitioner then refines that model using 3D CAD software. When the model is complete, a milling machine carves the actual restoration out of a ceramic block using diamond head cutters under computer control. When complete, the restoration is bonded to the tooth using a resin.”

This is neat in that you don’t have to make a 2nd trip. But it begs a question about what material is used. Normally when the impression is taken, it’s sent to a lab to have the restoration made. The results from the Clifford test are looked at by the dentist and he/she determines the best material to use (there are many different formulations of “composite”). The dentist relays this to the lab making the restoration. I have to wonder if a dentist that uses a CEREC milling machine on premise has all the different kinds of materials. It would be interesting to ask him if he does a biocompatibility blood test. If he says ‘yes’, I’d ask how many different materials does he have for his CEREC milling machine. If he has a wide enough range to accommodate almost everyone, he should have no problem answering your question. But if he has only one or two types, and he sees where you’re going with your line of questioning, he may start throwing BS at you in the form of, “well compatibility testing is not absolute…we’ve never had a problem with any of the materials we use…” etc.

My choices (based on my Clifford test) included gold or a composite called “Empire”; other more common composite choices I tested ‘bad’ for. Gold is the “king of fillings” in that it lasts longer than any composite. It’s downside is that it expands and contracts at a different rate than enamel, so hot and cold foods and drinks can, over time, cause weakening of the tooth due to crazing (micro cracking). And you can’t use it where it can be seen when you smile. But since I don’t do hot and cold things things (except for banana ice cream), and it was on a back tooth, I opted for the gold.

Does the CEREC machine do “the king of fillings”? I’m guessing no. This would be an interesting discussion to have with a dentist who uses the CEREC method of making restorations. I’m not saying I wouldn’t do the CEREC method just because I couldn’t get gold, but it would be interesting to hear his explanation of why composites are just as good as gold (if he indeed does say this). And composite is less expensive than gold.

Since the last thing you want is tiny gaps between restoration and tooth, and since a restoration made with the CERED machine would, in theory, be a more exact fit than the older “impression” method, I’d look into a dentist who does the CEREC method. But it still comes down to how conservative he is; how much would he lean towards or away from doing a root canal. When a friend of mine worked at a gas station as an auto mechanic, the owner would frequently sell people on repairs that weren’t really necessary, and he did it because he could get away with it. When my friend got his own shop, he didn’t do that, but he suffered for it financially, and eventually lost the shop. He said that for many shops, doing unnecessary repairs was necessary if they wanted to stay in business. Who knows how much this applies to a dentist’s business. Most people are not going to argue with a dentist who says “you need a root canal”. Hmm, but maybe if you say, “Well, since I can’t afford that, you’ll have to pull the tooth” and you look sullen at the thought of losing a tooth, and the dentist, at heart, is someone who really wants to save a tooth if at all possible, maybe that might get him to “reconsider” the issue. You have nothing to lose by saying it; you don’t have to go through with the extraction… I’d just be curious how a dentist would react to the thought of having to pull a tooth that could be saved by something other than a root canal.

I think deep feeling therapies are the future and the best solution for healing your mind.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV1fWtMAKRk&feature=email

Here is another interesting remedy that I have been reading about a lot in the few last months. I am publishing this article now.

When a good idea comes along, particularly in the health and wellbeing field, people often pick up on its essence rather than its detail.

I had to move my site to WordPress, because spam was killing my previous site, and I just had to find a solution. There are around 200  the creme of the creme alternative medicine articles. You will definitely find the topics you love. And you will learn new ways to get healthy.

I have a plan writing and updating this site regularly. Alternative medicine is my hobby and sometime profession. I am a professional electromagnetic fields home inspector. My other site is http://www.altermedicine.org where you can find a lot of information about electromagnetic high and low frequency fields. So visit my second site too. You will enjoy them both. I am sure. I welcome you with all my heart and wish you good luck and best health.

Bob Vaughan

Gary I wish you all the best, I feel for you. I hope you get healthy. Too bad the newsletter is dead. I though you have a staff that is taking care of this, but obviously all along you were taking care of the website. What a great and dedicated guy.

Can somebody help Gary Craig? We need to keep the EFT alive!

I just can’t believe it, this is so amazing!!!!

————————————————————————————

The Situation

I am a nutritional and energy therapist in London with training in EFT and another energy therapy (called Frontal Eminences which I learned from Applied Kinesiology). Although I don’t usually treat people with schizophrenia, I recently had the opportunity to help “Richard,” whom I have known for many years.

Richard lives alone in a different town from me so my session took most of one day with him. I concentrated on issues that he and his family said made it difficult for him to live in the community.

He has had paranoid schizophrenic symptoms for the last 17 years. In his late teens he saw a psychiatrist who gave him drugs for anxiety and ‘schizophrenic tendencies’. Subsequently his condition got worse and he developed deep paranoia and had some severe psychotic episodes over the next few years.

When I saw him he was agoraphobic and alcohol-dependent. Sometimes he could go outside alone but it was extremely frightening for him. Most days he could only leave his flat by taxi.

He was tormented every moment of the day by terrifying thoughts, voices in his head and memories of past abuse. Some of this was real and some was imagined.

When he does go outside, he shouts aggressively (which is frightening for other people). He has never intentionally hurt anyone but he has often smashed inanimate objects, including other people’s belongings.

He has been on various drug regimes since the early 1980s. Currently he is taking a benzodiazepine, a tricyclic anti-depressant and two neuroleptics, plus some procyclidine to manage the side-effects from the neuroleptics.

Important Note: There was no change in his medication from the time of our session through the 8 week followup that appears at the end of this article.

The Session

After talking generally to establish rapport, we discussed the feelings Richard gets when he shouts in the street. He said he feels ‘terrified, humiliated and fearful’ before he shouts. He expects someone to knife him but he has to shout because God requires it. He searches for the courage to do it and shouts loudly ’25 or 30 times’. He rated his emotional intensity for shouting at 10+.

We talked about the feelings that made him shout in the street and this helped me understand the aspects involved. Many of his ‘memories’ had not actually happened but he believed they had.

First, I used my other energy technique more globally on several aspects of his shouting in the street. This lowered his intensity to 6+. Then we talked about the remaining aspects wherein I learned that he felt very guilty for stabbing a child. I used the basic EFT formula with the 9 gamut procedure on this.

The set-up phrase we used was: ‘Even though I feel really bad because I stabbed a child, I believe God loves me anyway’.

It took ten minutes to find this phrase. He couldn’t say ‘I deeply and completely accept myself’ because not accepting himself is a big part of his problem. It was too painful to say’I know God loves me’. However, saying ‘I believe God loves me’ was okay because he said he wants to believe God loves him.

He needed prompting for each section of the phrase. He said it slightly different each time and added the ‘anyway’ onto the end.

After two rounds of EFT on ‘stabbing a child’, his intensity was down to 3+. He was exhausted and wanted to stop. After 15 minutes more of other meridian work on stabbing a child, his intensity came down to a 2+.

After 15 minutes, we did the ‘Floor to Ceiling’ technique, which brought his emotional intensity right down to 0. He said he felt cleansed and calmer but still exhausted. Then I did half an hour of other meridian work globally on his memory of being locked in a cupboard.

Finally, I gave him some nutritional advice and used another energy therapy on noises that made him perform obsessive compulsive rituals.

Richard’s illness makes it more complex to locate every aspect of a problem. Even so, I felt the session had gone very well. At the end, his intensity levels for everything we had dealt with were at 0. He felt his mind had been healed and he didn’t think he would have any more problems. Then he said ‘This result will hold up as long as I behave myself. If I don’t, it could go back to a 3′. This showed there were still some aspects to clear up.

Follow-Up:

After one week: Richard had been outside alone and had only needed to shout once or twice each time instead of the 25-30 times he did before. He was calmer and hadn’t had any psychotic episodes. He believed his mind had been healed. He sounded more positive and balanced than when I had spoken to him by phone before the session. Surprisingly, his agoraphobia had reduced a bit. (I’d decided not to treat this in the first session in case he went outside more often with some of his abusive behaviour still there).

After two weeks: he still seemed more balanced and more positive than before the treatment. He was looking forward to recovering from his illness and his plans were more practical and self-aware than I’d expected.

After three weeks: the agoraphobia (which I hadn’t treated) had come back but the other positive changes were still in place and he still believed his mind had been healed.

After eight weeks: the positive effects have stayed with him. There is a lot more work to do but after just one session he is calmer, more self-accepting and more in control of his life.

If you’ve bought sunscreen lately, you may have noticed that 70 is the new 15.

We used to feel safe with sunscreen labeled SPF 15. We thought “sun protection factor” 15 meant we could stay in the sun 15 times longer than we could with no sunscreen at all.

We were wrong.

SPF numbers have less to do with time in the sun and more to do with the amount of harmful ultraviolet light making its way to your skin, according to the Food and Drug Administration. And now that SPF numbers are breaking into the triple digits — a handful of products boast a sun protection factor of 100 — the lowly SPF 15 sounds like a sunburn waiting to happen.

So what gives?

“Buying a sunscreen with a high SPF is not as important as using enough sunscreen, getting it on all the places and reapplying when you need to,” saysDennis Hughes, a pediatric oncologist at the Children’s Cancer Hospital at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. “People also forget that sunscreen doesn’t start working the minute you apply it. It takes up to 30 minutes. You should be applying it before you go outside.”

A hat is a good idea, particularly for men with thinning hair, Hughes says. And people with short hair must remember to put lotion on the tops of their ears, a vulnerable spot for sunburns and skin cancer.
Factoring for SPF

Many of Hughes’ patients are young people who have been diagnosed with melanoma, a skin cancer usually caused by too much exposure to the sun. Hughes teaches families good skin-care habits and fields plenty of questions about SPF numbers along the way.[image1_left]

“When people bring up SPF 70, the joke I make is that at a certain point you can just use latex paint — that way you’ll know when it washes off,” Hughes says. “Is 70 different from 45? In a lab, absolutely. But if you look at the Web sites maintained by organizations that care about this, like the American Academy of Dermatologists, they never talk about anything higher than 15. Once you’re above 15, you’re blocking a big fraction of the sun’s rays.”

SPF numbers are often misinterpreted. If you feel like doing the math, Hughes says, think of the SPF number as X times more coverage than no sunscreen at all. To figure out the percentage of harmful rays that SPF 15 absorbs, he says, divide 14 by 15. For SPF 30, divide 29 by 30. And so on.

You’ll discover that SPF 15 blocks about 93 percent of the UVB (ultraviolet B) rays that cause sunburns. SPF 30 absorbs nearly 97 percent of those same rays. SPF 50, 98 percent. By the time you get to SPF 70 or 100, the difference in absorption is quite small.

Hughes recommends SPF 30 for people with sun-sensitive skin. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends at least SPF 15.
Thin skin

For the extra-sensitive areas around the eyes, where the skin is thin and particularly prone to sunburn and wrinkling, people may want to increase their protection, dermatologists say.

Try applying a lip balm with SPF around the eyes, says Carol Drucker, an associate professor in M.D. Anderson’s dermatology department. The waxy texture stays in place and does not bleed into this sensitive area.

Another option: Apply a good mineral-based sunscreen around the eyes since chemical-based sunscreens can cause irritation, says Susan Chon, another assistant professor in M.D. Anderson’s dermatology department.

The effectiveness of any sunscreen depends on individual factors, including how much sunscreen someone uses, the time of day when a person is exposed to the sun, the time of year and how much a person sweats.

Neutrogena, which has introduced products with SPFs of 85, 90 and 100+, claims that most people apply less than the dermatologist-recommended 1 ounce of sunscreen to exposed areas of their bodies. (An ounce, by the way, is enough to fill a shot glass.) Under application can result in far less coverage than the SPF promises. Even with a high SPF, Neutrogena recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours.

For Hughes, it’s important to pick a sunscreen you like.

Well after I have read on the internet how bad amalgam is I replaced all my teeth with composite feelings, the composite that my previous “dentist” used was awful. After few months it started to leak, and it looked like a chewing gum. That was so bad. After that I got them replaced for different composite and that material is really good, it is durable, very hard and of course it leaks a bit but not so much as previous composite fillings.

So after my amalgam fillings were replaced I immediately felt that nervousness just disappeared. Pufff it was gone. I did not shake uncontrollably anymore, my metal taste was gone and also my stomach pain disappeared.

I am strongly advising you to remove all the amalgam fillings. Amalgam is made is very toxic, the dentist even don’t throw away amalgam into garbage because it is too toxic, and they can put it in our mouth. So funny. What i found out in this article is that zirconium oxide is the most bio compatible material right now, it is still a metal, but with non metal characteristics.

Enjoy reading this article. I have also heard that zirconium is radioactive, but I think that is bs. If anybody has more info about that topic please let me know.

——————————- ————————— ———— —– –

It is important to determine dental material biological compatibility (biocompatibility). Thjere are three different levels of biocompatibility to consider: general, immunological, and bio-energetic.

1. General biocompatibility–On this most basic level, we have to look at how the material reacts generally with human tissue. In other words, how toxic the material is at a cellular level. Does it poison cells? This toxicity tends to be an inherent property of the material, and all people will react to it in a similar manner. Using a toxic material such as mercury or nickel would always be a mistake.

2. Immunological biocompatibility–This level looks at materials from a standpoint of how an individual reacts to the material. The problem is analogous to what happens when someone with an allergy to mushrooms consumes an edible mushroom. The adverse reaction is due to an immunological and/or allergic type response based on teh patient’s biochemical makeup. A test like the Clifford Materials Reactivity Test (www.ccrlab.com) measures how antibodies in the blood react with the material (or, more accurately, its corrosion by-products).

This blood test indicates if the material is suitable form an indiviedual reactivity point of view. When evaluating a Cliffor test, a material that tests NS (not suitable) should not be used. On the other hand, materials that test S (suitable) should, ideally, be further tested. Kinesiologic testing for biocompatibility can also be performed to determine the body’s immunological response to substances.

3. Bio-energetic biocompatibility–For thousands of years Eastern medicine has studied the flow of energy through the human body and applied this to such healing arts as acupuncture. In more recent times, Dr. Reinhard Voll spent 40 years studying and documenting the relationship between teeth and organ systems. Using Electrodermal Screening (EDS) and Applied Kinesiology (AK or Muscle Testing), it can be determined how a material reacts with the body on an energitic level. If energetically incompatible materials are used, interferences are created on the meridians associated with the teeth being restored. according to Eastern medicine, each tooth correlates with and potentially influences different organ systems.

To select a restorative material of the highest levels of compatiblility, start with materials that exhibit low toxicity to cells, then eliminate the ones that elicit an immunological response, and then, to further narrow down the choice, select from the remaining materials using either EDS or AK. Using such a multi-step approach should give you the highest probability of selecting a non-reactive, compatible material. Of course, many patients will skip the testing and simply ask to have a material used that has been found to generally biocompatible. However, in cases where patients are experiencing multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), various illnesses, or are highly concerened about achieving the highest level of biocompatibility, specific testing as described above is indicated.

Once the final restorative material has been selected, it is important ot understand that other materials are used in order to get a finished product. In the case of a metal restoration, this usually involves only the dental cement used to adhere the crown to the tooth (unless the tooth is so broken down that it requires a build-up, in which case all of the following steps also apply). If the restoration is a ceramic or composite, a number of steps are required to complete the bonding process.

Composite Fillings

These materials consist of tiny glass particles suspended in a resin (plastic) matrix. The size and amount of the glass particles give the composite filling materials different characteristics, such as strength and polishability. Composites are used in areas where the fillings are relatively small and there is plenty of tooth structure for support.

Composite fillings are less durable than amalgam if the filling is large, but comparable in durability if the filling is small to average size. Composite fillings in back teeth are significantly more difficult and time-consuming to place than amalgam fillings, therefore more expensive. Composite materials are most commonly placed directly into the tooth (like amalgam fillings), but can also be prefabricated and bonded into place indirectly (like a crown).

However, they are more natural-looking, require less tooth reduction to place, and are bonded in place for a better seal. Composites are not totally compatible either. Most are made of the petro-chemical bis-phenol, which some research indicates leaches out estrogen-like substances. Some composites are less biocompatible than others because of the amount of iron oxide, aluminum oxide, barium, and other materials in them.

Direct composites can cause hairline cracks in the tooth from the hardening process, whereas indirect composites do not because they are hardened in the lab. Porcelain is more natural-looking than composites, but because it is harder and more brittle, it causes a wearing away of everything it contacts with and can crack instead of flex from stress.

All porcelains contain aluminum oxide. The one exception is unshaded Dicor, which is weaker and not very natural-looking (over a period of 3-4 months, unshaded dicor will pick up the shade of the tooth under it). If metal is not used in a crown or bridge, it is significantly weaker and has an increased risk of breakage during normal function. Gold fillings, porcelain fillings, indirect composite fillings, and crowns require more tooth structure to be trimmed away than for amalgam and direct composites, and take two appointments rather than one. Most “gold” crowns placed today contain from 1% – 40% gold and have nickel in them, which is inappropriate for those with a compromised immune system. Special order higher content gold will obviously cost more due to the cost of gold.

Studies of gallium alloys have reported problems with corrosion, durability, tooth fracture, and tooth sensitivity. More research and development is needed, but for now, it is recommended for use in baby teeth only. Some experts consider all metals, even non-allergenic or non-toxic metals, to be disruptive and therefore believe they should never be used in the body. Since nearly all composites and porcelains contain iron and aluminum oxides, some experts limit their choice of materials to only a few.

Still others think the use of high quality metals like high content gold or titanium is acceptable, but only if one brand and formulation is used for the entire mouth. One must weigh biocompatibility against function and durability. Because of contractual language and statistics, use of titanium, high content gold, and composite for crowns, bridges, or fillings will probably result in lessened insurance benefits, even though the time, cost, and effort in doing them is the same or more as for standard gold alloy and porcelain materials. Cadmium is used for color stabilization, so cadmium-free materials may lose some color over time.

Filling Materials

Amalgam

Amalgam is the most commonly used material for back teeth. It contains approximately 50% mercury and varying amounts of silver (30%), tin, zinc, and copper. It is the least costly and least time-consuming to place. It does not hold its shape over time, corrodes easily, and is expected to last 5-10 years. The controversy is that it contains mercury, a known neurotoxin (poison to the nervous system).

Galloy

Galloy is a brand new material containing silver, tin, copper, indium, and gallium. It is meant to be mercury-free alternative to amalgam. Why is the American Dental Association developing & patenting this substitute for mercury amalgam if mercury amalgam is safe?

Direct Composite

A direct composite is a special plastic material that bonds to tooth structure, is tooth colored, is more easily repairable, and requires less tooth structure to be trimmed away than any other material. It is expected to last 5-7 years, although small to moderate size fillings may last longer. Research has shown that it reinforces the tooth and makes it stronger. Cost and time to perform is about 50-75% more than amalgam. Composites are a petrochemical derivative and, as such, are a possible problem for the environmentally sensitive.

Indirect Composite Inlay/Onlay

This type of restoration is used when ideal fit and durability is desired, which is seldom achieved with a direct composite filling. Cost is approximately 2-3 times that of an amalgam filling and takes two visits.

Porcelain Inlay/Onlay

Dental ceramics (sometimes referred to as dental porcelains) have come a long way! Until a few years ago, these materials were relatively weak (that’s why they required support from a metal substructure) and abrasive (causing wear on the opposing teeth). Today there are many different types of ceramic systems: Feldspathic, Leucite-reinforced, Polymer-reinforced, Zirconium-based–each with unique properties. From rebuilding broken teeth to replacing missing teeth (even in the back of the mouth), there is a ceramic to do the job. However, they are more difficult to use than conventionally cemented (non-bonded) crowns.

Picking the right ceramic for the job, proper tooth preparation, quality laboratory work, and meticulous cementation technique are all needed for a successful tooth restoration. It costs about the same as an indirect composite inlay/onlay and takes two visits. Most ceramic and resin-based materials contain metals in the form of oxides (such as aluminum) or even heavy metals (such as cobalt, barium or cadmium). These are usually added to give the amterials strength and improve their appearance. Sometimes they are added to make the restoration show up on x-rays. The number of materials that do not contain any of these products is very limited. However, the advantage of being oxide-free is lost when these are bonded to the tooth using an oxide-containing luting agent.

Gold Inlay/Onlay

Because of gold’s long history, it is the standard against which other materials are judged. This type of restoration is used when maximum strength is desired and appearance is not a factor. Gold is almost never used in its pure form; rather gold is used as an alloy with other metal elements. It costs approximately three to four times more than an amalgam and takes 2 visits. There are many formulations of gold, varying from 1% to 99%. The other metals are added in order to give the gold strength and the ability to bond to porcelain (in the case of porcelain veneer fused to cover a gold crown). The most commonly added metals are palladium, silver, copper, and platinum.

The composition and amount of each metal in the alloy determines whether it is classified as a “high noble,” “noble,” or “base” metal. “Noble” metals are defined as gold, platinum and palladium. The most expensive gold alloys are “high noble” and they are defined as hving at least 60% noble metals and at least 40% gold. An alloy can still be called “noble” if it has at least 25% noble metal content. The cheapest materials fail even that test and are called “base” alloys–they have less than 25% noble metals. It is especially important for patients with metal sensitivities to avoid the base alloys since these usually contain toxic metals such as nickel and chromium;. But even the high noble materials can be incompatible for patients and even toxic; palladium, for example, is toxic.

Titanium Inlay/Onlay

Titanium is used when a gold alloy is not biocompatible; otherwise, the benefits, cost, and time to perform are the same as for a gold alloy, even though it is not a precious metal. It takes two visits.

Dental Material Philosophies

Conventional

Except in rare situations, currently used dental materials are safe in the mouth. The important criteria are how durable, natural looking, inexpensive, and practical they are for the dentist and dental laboratory to use. Concerns therefore are economics and aesthetics. Because some people have a sensitivity to certain substances, the choice of dental materials may have to be limited. A special blood test may be used to determine sensitivity to corrosion by-products of components.

Toxicity

Some dental materials contain toxic substances that, depending on exposure and other factors, may impact total toxic body load. Non-toxic alternatives should be used to decrease exposure to and accumulation of scientifically confirmed environmental toxins. Some dental treatment and materials can be disruptive to the normal flow of energy through the acupuncture meridians. Eastern philosophy believes chronic disruption of energy flow causes dysfunction and resultant health problems on the associated meridian; therefore, the choice of dental materials and treatments is limited.

Electrogalvanism

Dissimilar metals in the mouth, including different formulations of the “same” metal, create microamps of current which could cause oral pain, corrosion of the metal (black mercury amalgam fillings), dry mouth, metallic taste, erythema (red & swollen gums), and possible dysfunction of other organ systems, endocrine glands, etc. on that meridian.

Crown and Bridge Materials

Gold Alloy

A gold alloy is used when maximum strength is desired and appearance is not a factor. There are many formulations of gold, varying from 1% to 99%.

Titanium

Titanium is used when maximum strength is desired, appearance is not a factor, and a gold alloy is not biocompatible. There are different purities of titanium, with grade-1 being the purest. This is used in joint replacement, dental implants, and bone pins. Cost is the same as for gold alloy.

Non-Precious Alloy

Non-precious alloys are used when maximum strength is desired, appearance is not a factor, but cost is most important. Since it does not contain any gold, cost is less. There are two basic formulations, one that contains nickel and one that is nickel-free. The controversial issue is that nickel, beryllium, cobalt, chromium, and palladium may cause immune problems and/or toxicity.

Porcelain

Porcelain is used when appearance and wear resistance is the most important factor. It is much more fragile than metal and may break easily. Porcelain alone is not normally recommended for bridges.

Indirect Composite

Indirect composites are used when appearance is an important factor but when the risk of porcelain fractures and wearing down the other teeth is to be avoided. These are not quite as wear-resistant or esthetic as porcelain but very acceptable for normal situations.

Zirconium Oxide

One of the most difficult areas in dentistry today is the restoration of dental structures with biocompatible materials that are strong enough to withstand the forces of chewing (500-1000lbs pressure on molar teeth). Recent technology from Germany now offers a material that has overcome most of the pitfalls of present day products. Patients now have a choice of a material that is esthetic, strong, pure, biocompatible and capable of being used for single and long span dental bridgework. That material is called Zirconium oxide.

Zirconium oxide has the following superior characteristics that make it the most ideal material available:

* Excellent biological compatibility: absolutely bio-inert.

* Outstanding physical and mechanical qualities:

* Hardness (Vickers) 1200 HV

* Compressive Strength 2000 MPa

* Bending Strength 1000 MPa

* Modulus of Elasticity 210 GPa

* Tensile Strength 7 Mpavm

* Wear characteristics (Ring on disc) <0.002 mm 3/h

* Absolute corrosion resistance: Ringer’s solution 370C <0.01mg/ m2x24h

* Very small particle size: <0.6ym

* No glass phase for particle binding

* Extremely high density

* Porosity: 0%

* Purity (Zr/Hf/Y): 99.9%

* Translucence of the framework material makes excellent cosmetic results possible

* Equivalent fit to precision gold castings: edge opening 20-50 ym. Precludes the need to use adhesive cements.

* Zirconium oxide is manufactured and optimized industrially so that the material qualities remain unchanged through the complete pro duction chain.

* Optimal material for crowns: tasteless, radiopaque, no pulp irrita tion because there is no need to use adhesive cements and minimal invasive preparation by dentist.

Zirconium oxide forms the core of each crown and provides the cross-link that bridges the gap of missing teeth. The precision fit of the Zirconium core is derived from computer guided Swiss lathes that cut the form out of a solid Zirconium oxide block. The cutting instructions are obtained from a laser beam that reads 120 points per millimeter from the anatomy of a model of the prepared teeth. Once formed, new synthetic porcelain (99.9% pure) is baked on to the Zirconium core and then shaped like a tooth. Because of the extreme accuracy of the crown fit, the crowns can be cemented with biocompatible dental luting material. This avoids the use of an invasive procedure of etching the tooth with acid and injuring the pulp or nerve of the tooth. This latter procedure often times results in the pulp dying and necessitating root canal therapy.

Advantages of ET zirconium high performance ceramic compared with other full ceramics

Zirconium oxide ceramic primarily stands out due to its high crack resistance. Crack resistance is the resistance with which the material counteracts the spreading of cracks. If a material is stressed, it usually comes to excessively high tension within a defect area (pores, surface deficiencies, cavities) or it cracks. While with metals under high tension in the area of cracks, plastic deformation appears and the top of the tension can be reduced by rounding the cracks; in ceramics due to missing plastic deformation possibility the cracks continue to grow. The unusual feature of zirconium oxide ceramic in comparison with other ceramics is that at the appearance of a high-tension area a transformation of the crystal structure can take place. This process is also accompanied by a volume expansion. By this volume increase it builds wedges in the crack and therefore it reduces the continuation of the crack. While the critical tensile strength (KIC) e.g. of Dicor, Vita Mark II and Empress is in the area of 1-2.5 Mpam-1/2, zirconium oxide shows values in the range of 10 Mpam-1/2. Even In-Ceram (glass infiltrated Al203 ceramic) and Procera aluminum oxide (pure Al203 ceramic) show values less then 5 Mpam-1/2.

In connection with the tensile strength there also stands the characteristic of bending strengths. While conventional glass ceramics show results of 100-200 Mpa and aluminum oxide ceramics lie in the area of 400-600 Mpa, zirconium oxide reaches a bending strength of over 1000 Mpa.

Because of the high tensile strengths exhibited in test results, it is now possible to fabricate posterior bridges with zirconium oxide. Further decisive advantages of zirconium oxide are its high resistance to corrosion; stability to hydrolysis and its high biocompatibility in comparison with other ceramics makes this material ideal for restorative dentistry.

In medicine, zirconium oxide is being used more and more as the material of choice especially for hip prosthesis. For years there has existed substantial clinical tests and examinations which confirm the high quality of zirconium oxide.

Denture Materials

Dentures are usually made from acrylic, stainless steel, and chromium-cobalt, but can be made of nylon, a gold alloy, or titanium. Most pink-colored acrylics and vinyls contain cadmium, which is considered toxic and/or immune reactive. The alternative is to use cadmium-free pink or clear materials. Metals are used to increase rigidity and increase retention of the prosthesis in the mouth during function. If metals are not used, the opposite is true, which is not desirable from a functional perspective.

Bonding

Since all direct fillings (composites) and most indirect restorations (inlays, onlays, and crowns) being placed today use a process called bonding, it’s good to have a basic knowledge of how this process works. While there are a myriad of variations in this process, here are the basic steps:

Step 1–Prepare the tooth surface using a mild acid solution. This creates a “honeycomb” in the top layer of tooth.

Step 2–Paint a liquid resin-bonding agent on the tooth. It flows and “locks” into the honeycomb created in Step 1 (technically forming a hybrid layer that is part-tooth and part dental-resin). This layer is “cured” (hardened using a photo-chemical reaction) with a visible light source.

Step 3–Place luting cement if an indirect restoration (e.g., crown) is being used. Essentially, this material is a more liquid form of white filling material. It bonds to both the tooth and the pre-fabricated ceramic restoration and fills the gaps between them. The surface of the first layer of cured bonding agent is highly reactive and is easily bonded to with today’s composite filling materials.

Advantages of Bonding

There are a number of advantages to using bonding. Besides allowing the placement of non-metal restorations, less removal of healthy tooth structure is required. The dentist needs to remove only the unhealthy tooth structure and a precisely fitted piece can be bonded into place to replace it. In the case of fillings, bonded restorations have other physical advantages over amalgam. Even the ADA, in its Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) , recently acknowledged, “Resin-based composites eventually will replace amalgam as a direct restorative material because they possess many characteristics not inherent in amalgam. Some of the more important of these properties are esthetics, micro-mechanical bonding to tooth structure, smaller cavity preparations and better sealing potential.” (JADA, Vol. 132, August 2001, p. 1100).

New Advances

Breakthroughs in the development of dental materials and techniques are occurring on a regular basis. We have yet to find one single material that is compatible for everyone. Debate continues about how to best restore a patient’s mouth to optimal health and no perfect solution has yet presented itself. The best we can do is to to keep an open mind and keep searching for answers. Only by thorough testing can it be determined which is most compatible for any one person.

Cure For Heart Disease – True Testimonial
Update Nov. 28, 2006

Background: 1995 first of four heart attacks, quadruple bypass, stent Operations, five total operations to date. I declined a pacemaker implant (TEST) in Dec. of 2003.
Continued problem: from 1995 to 2003 numerous heart attacks, operations, feeling almost hopeless. I had tried numerous things that my doctors recommended. I became a strict vegan, no: eggs, chicken, fish, etc. did not smoke, etc. these practices were put into place immediately after my first heart attack and quadruple bypass in fall of 1995 for a period of over five years.

On the edge of death: chest pain, no energy, feeling of doom, fall of 2005. I did not think I would be alive on Christmas or new year of 2005. my health wasn’t good, but I was in a steep decline at about the end of ’05.

Rediscovery of vitamin c: I searched the Internet for anything that would help me stay alive. I was desperate, too sick to work, no health insurance.

Course change: Pauling protocol. I don’t know if I re discovered Pauling before or after I discovered the vitamin c foundation web site. I ordered all of Pauling’s books at the local library and read them all. this was about the beginning of 2006, or the end of 2005. many years ago I remember seeing Pauling on TV. and hearing about his work with Vitamin c. I also recall the media in general as labeling him in a very subtle way a “kook”. this probably caused me to not read his work back
in those years. I started taking ten grams of vitamin c every day, spread out five times during the day, about the time i rediscovered Pauling and read his books on vitamin c. I continued to find everything I could about vitamin c. I learned on the vitamin c foundation about other supplements. I also discovered the rich history of vitamin c research. There were many people I read, including Dr. Rath.

I was soon taking as much vitamin c as I could tolerate, 18 grams, plus I added some other supplements. Being a very skeptical person I only started the Pauling protocol with ten grams of c and nothing else.

Currently taking each day, spread out:

vit. C 14 grams (had cut this down once before from 18 to 16)
Lysine 5 grams
Proline 1 gr
Natural E 2000iu
Q10 100 mg
B3 500mg, just recently raised from 250mg
B6 100mg (in the form of a super B complex)
Multi vitamin/mineral
vit. A 24,000iu
Argenine 1 gram
Magnesium 250mg
Vit.K 100mg
L Carnitine 250mg
Taurine 500mg
Omega 3 2000mg, just added this a week ago.
Sea Salt: Himalayan Pink (to season food)

The above is based on the following:
http://www.thecureforheartdisease.com/protocol.htm

Biggest surprise: I was doing very hard physical work for over two weeks just recently, lots of pain in muscles from head to toe…but NO CHEST, or HEART PAIN!

Recent blood pressure: 122 over 72, a big surprise and I thought it was a mistake. I had just had a big dinner with friends a few hours before. This may have caused the reading to be lower. My “usual” bp is around 135 over 79 and this is continuing to drop, without any bp meds, or any heart meds in almost a year. I would like to see it 120 over 80. my resting pulse is still high at 100. (My records indicate a bp of over 147 over 95 while previously on bp and heart drugs)

Weight: I have been of average height and weight all of my life. I am now fifty two years old. Not until I read Atkins and started eating accordingly did I feel really
good with no hunger between meals or fatigue, like I always used to experience. The major benefit seems to be a drastic reduction in hydrogenated oil, etc. found in bakery and prepared food.

Other body changes: my skin has cleared up and looks great, I had a small amount of acne on my face for most of my life. My joints are less painful and more flexible. I feel much stronger and better than I have in over twenty years!

Diet: two eggs for breakfast almost every day with some meat. I minimize carb’s due to reading and understanding the Atkins books. Most of my carb’s now are in the form of fresh green veg. or fruit. I tried his diet and feel much better. I eat lots of meat, some fresh veggies, and lots of water. I had given up refined sugar many years before my first heart attack, but still had enjoyed sweet carbohydrate deserts.

Bad habits: although I no longer eat cookies and other bakery, I still love pizza and ice cream. I will over do it on carb’s on occasion and feel worse for it. I read labels and try to avoid hydrogenated oil (Check your pizza label) like the poison it is.

Future: health is great and getting better! I feel physically and mentally great! I think I’m going to be ok! I have also found an interest in vitamin B 17 and will look into this.

I would count this website (http://www.vitamincfoundation.org) and the posters on it, Dr. Levy’s new book, other writers (forgive me for not mentioning them all by name (the list is growing rapidly!), (but Owen has provided a very good list on this website)and let us not forget Dr. Linus Pauling who spent the last decades of his life in the study of and publication of information about vitamin c and it’s benefits to mankind.

thanks everyone,
for health and freedom,

The Cure for Heart Disease: Theory, History and Treatment

By Owen R. Fonorow, Copyright 2004

OVERVIEW

The theory that Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is related to a deficiency of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) was first proposed by the Canadian physician G. C. Willis in 1953. [*] Willis found that atherosclerotic plaques form over vitamin-C-starved vascular tissues in both guinea pigs and human beings. In 1989, after the discoveries of the Lp(a) cholesterol molecule (circa 1964) and its lysine binding sites (circa 1987), Linus Pauling and his associate Matthias Rath formulated a unified theory of heart disease [*] and invented the cure. [*] Vitamin C and lysine (and proline) in large amounts become Lp(a) binding inhibitors that restore vascular health and destroy atherosclerotic plaques.

THEORY

“Vitamin C is essential for the building of collagen, the most abundant protein built in our bodies and the major component of connective tissue. This connective tissue has structural and supportive functions which are indispensable to heart tissues, to blood vessels, –in fact, to all tissues. Collagen is not only the most abundant protein in our bodies, it also occurs in larger amounts than all other proteins put together. It cannot be built without vitamin C. No heart or blood vessel or other organ could possibly perform its functions without collagen. No heart or blood vessel can be maintained in healthy condition without vitamin C.” Roger J. Williams

Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, (but it is not really a vitamin). The overwhelming majority of plants and animals make large amounts of ascorbic acid. Mammals synthesize it in the amount averaging 5,400 mg (when adjusted for body weight), and they make even more when under stress. [*] This is about 10-times the amount of CoQ10 that is synthesized in human beings, [*] and roughly 100-times the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).

Homo Sapiens, like the guinea pig, fruit bat and the high-order primates, cannot synthesize vitamin C because of a missing enzyme. [*] These species must obtain the vitamin in the diet or die of scurvy. A mere 10 mg of vitamin C prevents acute scurvy in humans resulting in the long-held hypothesis that ascorbic acid is a vitamin, required only in minuscule amounts. Those few species that fail to synthesize ascorbic acid all suffer similar ‘heart disease’, a form of the disease that is not prevalent in other species.

Also, heart disease is a misnomer; the underlying disease process reduces the supply of blood to the heart and other organs leading to angina (“heart cramp”), heart attack and stroke. The disease is characterized by scab-like build-ups that grow on the walls of blood vessels. The correct terminology for this disease process is chronic scurvy, a slower form of the classic vitamin C deficiency disease.

The hypothesis that CVD is an ascorbic acid (vitamin C) deficiency disease was first conceived and tested in the early 1950s [*]. Willis devised a method of photographing plaques with X-rays and observed a strange phenomenon in his heart patients. Willis saw that atherosclerotic plaques were not uniformly distributed throughout the vascular system; rather these “blockages” are concentrated near the heart, where arteries are constantly bent or squeezed.

Another Canadian, Paterson, had found that the tissues of heart patients were generally depleted of ascorbate (vitamin C) [*], and it was well known that vitamin C is required for strong and healthy arteries. Willis reasoned that only the mechanical stress caused by the pulse could explain the typical pattern of atherosclerosis that he so often observed in different patients. To Willis, the body was laying down plaque precisely where it was needed in order to stabilize the vascular system.

By the late 1980s, medical researchers had made several intriguing discoveries. First came the discovery that heart disease begins with a lesion, a crack or stress fracture, in the arterial wall. The question became, and remains, as to the cause of these lesions in human beings since they do not arise in most other animals. Then a variant of the so-called “bad” LDL cholesterol called lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a) for short, was studied and found to be really bad. It is sticky because of receptors on the surface of the molecule called lysine binding sites. Work that led to the 1987 Nobel prize in medicine discovered that lysine (and proline) binding sites cause the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Then, Beisiegel et. al. in Germany examined plaques post mortem and found only Lp(a), not ordinary LDL cholesterol. [*]

Matthias Rath, a medical student and member of the German team, immediately understood the importance of the Lp(a) cholesterol molecule (there are scores of similar lipoprotein molecules) and made the connection with vitamin C. Lp(a) was the genetic difference between beings that suffer cardiovascular disease and those that do not. Lp(a) had evolved only in species that do not make their own vitamin C – e.g. humans and guinea pigs.

Rath brought Lp(a) to the attention of Linus Pauling and was asked to join Pauling’s Institute of Science and Medicine. There Pauling and Rath repeated the earlier Willis experiments, but this time they monitored Lp(a). They discovered that it becomes elevated in guinea pigs deprived of vitamin C, but not in the controls. These experiments connecting elevated-Lp(a) with low serum vitamin C — and atherosclerosis, provide the experimental support for their unified theory. They realized that in most species, sufficient ascorbic acid will prevent stress fractures, but in those species that suffer chronic scurvy, Lp(a) had evolved to patch cracked blood vessels.

Linus Pauling believed that chronic scurvy can be prevented with a daily intake of between 3,000 to 10,000 mg or more vitamin C. This amount approximates what the animals synthesize, and matching animal production is the reason Pauling ingested 18,000 mg daily.

Pauling’s invention for destroying existing atherosclerotic plaques is the large amount of another essential nutrient, the amino acid lysine. Pauling filmed a video lecture in which he recommended that heart patients take between 2,000 and 6,000 mg of lysine daily with their vitamin C (more if serum Lp(a) is elevated). Neither vitamin C nor lysine have any known lethal dose.

HISTORY

In the early 1950s the Canadian doctor Willis theorized that that plaque build-ups are the healing response to a repeated insult – the heart beat. Willis observed that the build-up of atherosclerotic plaques was uniform, and not found throughout the vascular system. It appeared only in the large arteries near the heart where the blood pressure is greatest and where the artery is constantly stressed. He used high-school physics to compute that plaques form precisely where the mechanical forces were greatest on the arterial wall. Willis reasoned that these plaques only form over stress fractures when the intake of vitamin C is low.

Is heart disease a mechanical problem exacerbated by a vitamin C deficiency? Willis decided to find out. His experiment with guinea pigs is described in his landmark 1957 paper THE REVERSIBILITY OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS [*].

Guinea pigs are one of the few species which, like humans, do not make vitamin C. The pigs were divided into several groups; all groups were fed an identical diet except for the vitamin C. At first, vitamin C was restricted in all groups. The control group was sacrificed first and every guinea pig group was found to have atherosclerosis. The remaining groups were then given various amounts of vitamin C, having already induced atherosclerosis. Only half of these pigs were found to have atherosclerosis providing strong evidence that vitamin C can reverse existing disease. In the other experiments, groups of guinea pigs that are given almost 10-times the RDA, or roughly 5000 mg of vitamin C, adjusted for body weight, do not exhibit any sign of atherosclerosis.

Willis noted the similarity of the vitamin C deprived pig’s atherosclerotic lesions to the human lesions, and how unlike these lesions are to the “fatty streaks” that can be created in experimental animals fed ultra-high cholesterol diets.

From this experiment we know that a single factor, low vitamin C, can cause the atherosclerosis commonly found in humans.

Willis conducted experiments on his patients. He divided patients into two groups. One group was given 500 mg of vitamin C, three times daily. Remarkable for the 1950s, Willis was able to take pictures and “see” the inside of human arteries for the first time. From these pictures, it was determined that 60% of those taking vitamin C improved, that is, their plaques were reduced. In 30% the plaques remained about the same and in 10% he saw their plaques increase slightly. None of the control’s plaques were reduced. These results were promising, Willis in this technique, was well ahead of his time. However, the scientific and medical communities showed little interest in the Willis experiments.

We now know that 1500 mg of vitamin C is not enough. The Lp(a) molecule and its binding sites were unknown and the amino acid lysine was not employed. Also, there was a theoretical problem: All animals have heart beats, but they rarely suffer the same type of CVD as humans. How could the beating heart only cause the disease process in humans? Willis did not have the answer as to why human hearts and vascular systems were so different from most animals.

THE KEY TO THE PUZZLE – Lp(a)

Forty years after the Willis experiments, and after it was discovered that only one form of cholesterol — Lp(a) creates plaques over the arterial lesions [*] , the American Nobel chemist Linus Pauling, and his associate Matthias Rath, MD, formulated a new theory that unified vitamin C and Lp(a).

In their view, the strange Lp(a) molecule explained everything. Lp(a), the friend who may become a foe, has evolved to replace vitamin C only in the very few species that do not make their own vitamin C. The Lp(a) molecule is important for human health, in the absence of vitamin C, providing many of the same functions that the missing vitamin C would have provided.

Now the Willis “problem” had become a cornerstone of their theory: Lp(a) is an evolutionary adaptation or surrogate for low vitamin C which most animals do not require. Lp(a) provides an alternate way to strengthen and stabilize vitamin-starved arteries in species that cannot make the vitamin.

Inside the wall of every blood vessel lies the collagen girder shaped into a triple helix. Wrapped around the artery, like steel buried in a concrete highway, collagen provides the artery with its strength and stability. Collagen is a living tissue and needs to be replenished periodically. If vitamin C is present, collagen will be strengthened before the artery fractures. When vitamin C is not present, collagen continues to deteriorate and the arterial wall weakens. Surface disruptions will emerge, especially where the pulse is great. Strands of lysine and proline become exposed in these “pot-holes” along our most crowded vascular highways. The floating Lp(a) comes to the rescue; it is attracted to lysyl or prolyl strands in the pothole and binds with it, forming a patch, unless — something happens that makes it unattractive.

NULLIFYING THE LYSINE BINDING SITES – REVERSING HEART DISEASE.

As chronic scurvy progresses, the liver produces more Lp(a) molecules. As the number of Lp(a) molecules increases, they tend to deposit on top of existing plaque formations. When the healing process overshoots, the arteries narrow and the flow of blood is reduced.

This problem has a solution. The Lp(a) molecule has a finite number of lysine binding sites – points of attachment to lysine. Pauling’s invention – the cure for heart disease – is to increase the serum concentration of the amino acid lysine enough to make the Lp(a) unattractive. As more lysine enters the blood stream, the probability increases that floating Lp(a) molecules will bind with it (rather than with the patches of plaques growing on the arterial walls.)

After all the Lp(a) molecule’s binding receptors are filled with the free lysine floating in the blood, the Lp(a) molecule becomes as harmless as ordinary LDL cholesterol.

Pauling and Rath called the substances that treat chronic scurvy and destroy existing plaques Lp(a) binding inhibitors. Vitamin C, to increase collagen production and to improve the health and strength of arteries, and lysine, to prevent and to dissolve Lp(a) plaques, are the primary binding inhibitors. These substances taken together are clinically effective.

Pauling and Rath have been awarded three U. S. patents for Lp(a) binding inhibitors that destroy atherosclerotic plaques in vitro and in vivo. [*]

The Lp(a) binding inhibitors become the Pauling Therapy for heart disease only at high dosages, between vitamin 3 to 18 g ascorbic acid and 3 to 6 g lysine. In his video, Pauling recounts the first cases where his high vitamin C and lysine therapy quickly resolved advanced cardiovascular disease in humans. The effect is so pronounced, and the inhibitors are so nontoxic, that Pauling doubted a clinical study was even necessary.

More than 10-years of consistent testimony[*] demonstrate that Pauling’s recommended dosages of the Lp(a) binding inhibitors are almost always effective reversing advanced heart disease within 10-days after achieving the recommended dosage. Unlike the cancer-cure, which may cause death through toxemia, heart patients only seem to get better on the Pauling therapy.

Recently, the amino acid proline was found to be an even more effective Lp(a) binding inhibitor than lysine in vitro. Adding between .5 and 2 g proline may be of significant additional benefit.

When serum Lp(a) is elevated, Lp(a) binding inhibitors can profoundly interfere with the disease process. Binding inhibitor formulas that include proline have been documented to lower Lp(a) in six to 14 months [*]. In cases where Lp(a) is not reduced, binding inhibitors become even more important regardless of their effect on serum Lp(a).

THE BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONTROLLING HEART DISEASE

AUG 2004: UPDATED PROTOCOL HERE
Cardiologist have been kept in the dark about the vitamin C connection. Few cardiovascular drugs benefit heart patients. Several exacerbate heart conditions and should be eliminated in favor of the following othomolecular protocols:

• Take Vitamin C as ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate up to bowel tolerance (3 to 18 g) daily.
• Take Lysine. 2 to 3 g daily for prevention and from 3 to 6 g daily for the greatest therapeutic benefit.
• NEW: Eliminate man-made/processed fats, such as trans and hydrogenated fats, and supplement Omega-3 rich oils. “Research has shown that an Omega-3 Index of 8 percent to 10 percent reduces a person’s relative risk of death from coronary heart disease by 40 percent, and from sudden cardiac death by 90 percent.” This benefit probably results from restored insulin-mediated glucose/vitamin C uptake into cells. [See: Protocol for Reversing Diabetes Type II by Eliminating Hydrogenated and Trans Fats and adding Omega-3 oils... ] Note: Following an Atkins-style diet will eliminate most trans fats because these “poisons” appear mostly in processed carbohydrate foods such as cookies, crackers, snacks, etc. Butter is vastly supperior to margarine. Natural saturated fats are vastly superior to any fats or oils processed for longer shelf life.
• 
  NEW: Eliminate ordinary sugar and refined carbohydrates. New research confirms Dr. John Ely’s 30-year theory that sugar (glucose) competes with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) for insulin-mediated uptake into cells. Taking sugar can effectively crowd out the Ascorbate. The effect of the Pauling Therapy is reportedly much more pronounced and immediate when sugar is eliminated.
• Take Proline from 250 mg to 2000 mg daily. (This added factor may lower elevated Lp(a) within 6 to 14 months.)
• Follow Paulings general heart and cardiovascular recommendations provided in his book HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER
  Linus Pauling’s Basic Vitamin Program

  Vitamin E – 800 to 3200 iu
  Vitamin A – 20,000 to 40,000 iu
  Super B-Complex, esp. Vitamins B6 and B3

• Supplement Coenzyme Q10 (100 – 300 mg) (High vitamin C and several vitamins will help stimulate your own synthesis of CoQ10 which is vital for proper heart function.)
• Supplement the mineral Magnesium (300 to 1500 mg) and avoid Manganese (No more than 2 mg. USDA researchers report that elevated manganese, more than 20 mg daily, competes with magnesium uptake in the heart causing irregular heart beats.)
  

  Manganese alters mitochodrial integrity in the hearts of swine marginally deficient in magnesium … These results suggest that high Mn, when fed in combination with low Mg, disrupts mitochondrial ultrastructure and is associated with the sudden deaths previously reported.
  

• Supplement the amino acids Taurine, Arginine and Carnitine (1 to 3 g).
• Avoid supplemental calcium. [*]
• Add a good mineral/multivitamin – to cover all possible nutritional needs.

SUMMARY

The unified theory explains that heart disease, as do many natural healing processes, begins only after a stress fracture appears on the wall of an artery. The Lp(a) molecule is attracted to remnants of a broken collagen strand within the fracture. The most probable cause for lesions forming in a pattern so familiar to Willis is the mechanical stress caused by the beating heart. Dr. Willis theorized that heart disease was ultimately a vitamin C deficiency.

Most animals do not have Lp(a) in their blood, Lp(a) acts as a surrogate for vitamin C, extending life in the few species unable to synthesize ascorbate. Lp(a) binds to “lysyl” residues and in this way forms plaque. The Lp(a) molecule itself was discovered circa 1964 and was unknown to Willis. Lp(a) has a similar molecular weight to LDL cholesterol and most studies grouped it with LDL prior to 1989. Recently a reevaluation of these studies found that Lp(a) and not ordinary LDL is highly predictive of CVD and that elevated Lp(a) increases the risk of heart attack and stroke by 70%.

The on-going lack of scientific curiosity or interest by organized medicine in the Pauling/Rath theory and Pauling’s high-dose therapy may well be recognized as the greatest lapse of the 20th century.

REFERENCES AND RECENT SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT FOR THE UNIFIED THEORY

Harvard Nurses Study

The 15-year Harvard study of 85,000 nurses found that a single vitamin C pill reduces the incidence of heart disease by almost 30%. According to the numbers in [this story] A 360 mg vitamin C pill daily would save more than 300,000 lives per year.

British/Enstrom CVD Mortality Findings

In 1992 Dr. James E. Enstrom of the UCLA School of Public Health, published his latest research on how men taking vitamin C, about 300 milligrams or more per day, on average live six years longer than those who receive less than 50 milligrams of vitamin C daily. See this [ article ] on the Enstrom work. In late 2003, British researchers confirmed the finding that low vitamin C is related to higher CVD mortality. (They found no relationship between either vitamin E or vitamin A and mortality.) See this [ article ] for a review of the British mortality findings.

CVD Mortality Curves

It is not controversial that total mortality from all forms of heart disease peaked between the years 1950 and 1970, and that deaths from coronary heart disease peaked around 1970. It is interesting that in 1970, Nobelist Linus Pauling published his best-selling book Vitamin C and the Common Cold. See this [ article ] on the decline in the death rate from heart disease since Pauling’s first book was published.

Oxford meta analysis of 27 clinical studies

A meta-analysis of 27 large studies (09/04/2000) at Oxford University found that people with high Lp(a) are 70% more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than people with normal or low Lp(a). See this [ article ] describing the paper published in the American Heart Association Journal CIRCULATION.

JAMA Jan 23/30 2002 RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND CONTROLLED TRIAL IN HUMANS FOUND STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT 60-SECOND TREADMILL EXERCISE IMPROVEMENTS IN 5000 MG VITAMIN C GROUPS

Vitamin C transforms stem cells into heart muscle

Stem cells, undifferentiated cells that can become other cells, have become the subject of intense scientific research. Patients given their own stem cells have avoided heart transplants, according to recent news stories, and stroke patients have recovered more quickly after being given stem-like cells. See this [ article ] on the Harvard finding that only 1 of 880 substances tested – vitamin C – converted mouse stem cells into heart muscle.

Genetically-engineered Mice

Mice, like most other mammals, produce their own engodenous vitamin C, so experiments with these creatures usually have little to say about chronic scurvy in humans. Scientists recently engineered a strain of mice that are unable to synthesize ascorbate. See this [ article ] showing that mice unable to synthesize vitamin C suffer human-like athersclerosis.

1700+ studies show Lp(a) is a major CVD risk factor

There are few studies of Lp(a) in the MEDLINE medical database prior to 1989, the year Pauling began his lecture tour. Since 1989, the Lp(a) science has exploded. There are now more than 1700 studies and articles that have investigated Lp(a). See this [ link ] for some example abstracts.

Cholesterol drugs do not lower Lp(a) and some raise it

 

A little known fact is that the top-selling statin cholesterol drugs actually cause Lp(a) to increase! See this [ article ] for more information on the dangers in the popular statin drugs.

CoQ10 connection

 

There are several reports of the remission of congestive heart failure in heart patients who have adopted Pauling’s therapy. It is known that CoQ10 is a good treatment for this condition, and it is known that vitamin C is required for the body to synthesize CoQ10. See this [ article ] for more information on the vitamin C and CoQ10 connection.

He just gave me a small globule of Lac Caninum I think it was 200 potency and my pain immediately went away. I felt that empty feeling in my stomach was gone.

Let me explain what Lac Caninum is. It is dog milk, the doctor said he gave me dogs milk because he feels the lack of love from my mother could be neutralized by unconditional dog milk medicine. I was freaking out, I could not believe it.

But it worked and I became a huge fan of homeopathy. Let me tell you the pain was constant, horrible, and that small globule of Dog’s milk cured it.

Homeopathy works on energetic level, something that doctors can’t understand. It was not a case of positive thinking. No, because I did not believe this small globule soaked in alcohol tincture of Lac Caninum homeopathic medicine can cure me.

I felt amazing, I felt full, I did not need love from my mother to fill that empty void.

Homeopathy is awesome, it isn’t a cure for everything, especially for chronic cases but with acute it helps in most cases. So don’t wait till your disease progress into chronic, act now. Homeopathy might save your life.

The disease manifest itself first on the mental level, that it appears in psychical body.
Like for my case I experienced myself the nervousness from my mother abuse and love I never got from her caused pain in my stomach.

I have studies so many books, I even wanted to become homeopath, but I did not have a doctors license. I think that is a shame, there might be so many good homeopaths who are not doctors and they cant become what they want.

I experimented with many different CM potencies of homeopathy, for example Sulphur made me grounded, this means I was not seeking solution in spiritual world, like a spiritual maniac, I could relax and did not feel the urge to constant obsess with religion.

When I was a teenager I wanted to run to Tibet and become a monk, I thought reaching nirvana is the only way to go and that Buda’s way is the only way. After taking Sulphur I did not obsess with that idea anymore.

For example Calcarea Carbonica helped me give love to others. Other people felt good around me, it opened my energy levels, and I felt I could love other people without they loving me back.

Then Silicea gave me courage and stamina. I tried many different major homeopathic medicines, I wanted to see how they act on mental level. And I have never experienced any side effects, like I said I experimented with high CM potencies that are not recommended to take like candy.

Globules was my Cocaine, I was an addict, but in a good way with no side effects.

I really suggest that all people use simple peroxide 3% with baking soda mixture (just mix it together till you get a smooth paste, and put it into closed container or small box, so it will not become hard).

It is so simple, and you can read about the fluoride and its danger all over internet, all I can do is vouch for this natural and healing toothpaste, it probably saved a lot of my teeth, and if you remove all the sugar and toxic food, I believe your teeth might heal themselves, I am not talking about root canals though, that are believed to be toxic bombs in our mouth.

Is hej ust an ugly old spammer? I am afraid so, let me tell you why I think so.
He published many times his thoughts on eating raw food.

HE SAYS FRUIT WILL MAKE YOU FAT; GIVE YOU DIABETES, AND IS ON AVERAGE NOT GOOD FOR YOUR BODY, at the same time he promotes eating meat all the time.

How can he represent healthy lifestyle, he looks like an old wrinkled man, with no energy and he will teach me not to eat fruit and raw vegetables, because they make you fat.

Have you idiot see raw people, how fit they are, most of them got rid of all the diseases, cancers, pains, feel blissful and super healthy and I don’t see any fat on them, just super toned body and then you come you old disgusting man and just try to make people believe that fruit is bad for you.

I know selling fruit on your site will not get you any money, that is why you don’t want to promote it you sick bastard.

I am shouting through my site to all people to stop visiting that pricks site. I really do. Raw food is the most effective way in getting rid of diseases, it is very tough diet, but it saved many lives in the past.

So stop spreading lies you moron, I am sick of you!!!!

And check the youtube on his youtube mercola blog, all of his videos have comments disabled, because he gets so many negative responses. You are just a sellout.
