The food we eat impacts every aspect of our life, from how we feel to our overall health. The food we consume plays a major role in determining our energy levels and consequently our productivity.

Weston A Price Nutrition and Physical Degeneration – Reflections on Reading Weston Price

Posted by on · 2 Comments

I recently read an extraordinary and thought-provoking book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price, DDS. In the 1930′s Price, a dentist from Cleveland, Ohio, became interested in the deteriorating dental and general health of his patients and of modern Americans. He noticed that each new generation seemed to have more cavities and more dental problems such as crowded teeth and narrow bridge formation, accompanied by an increase in other health problems, such as allergies, fatigue, behavioral problems and asthma.

Suspecting that the cause of this worsening dental and overall health might be nutritional and suspecting the many processed foods in his patient’s diets, Price decided to travel the world to examine firsthand cultures still eating their traditional diets, devoid of modern, processed foods. He eventually studied fourteen different cultures, including a remote island in Scotland, tribes in Africa, Eskimos in Alaska, Polynesian islands, and a village high in the Alps of Switzerland.

Posted by on · 3 Comments

Cure tooth decay? Heal, remineralize and repair teeth, and even cure cavities in teeth and actually prevent root canals naturally by good food and proper nutrition? Really?!

What does good, healthy, proper nutrition mean to you? It’s not what you think and not what you’ve been lead to believe by the health “authorities”.

Let me remind readers for a moment and familiarize the many new subscribed readers to how shocking the reality is to me that cavities in teeth can actually be cured. As I’ve said before, I’ve been working in the dental field for many years, and I’ve been doing a tremendous amount of research into traditional dentistry, fluoride and silver amalgam mercury fillings, amongst other common treatments done in most traditional dental offices – those that are not true holistic dentists.

Mercury Fillings Detox – Mercury Detoxification For Safe Removal of Mercury Dental Fillings

Posted by on · Leave a Comment

Mercury is one of the components of dental amalgam. Amalgam, a mixture consisting primarily of silver, tin, and mercury, has been used as the main type of dental filling for more than 150 years worldwide. The dentistry world has been divided over the use of amalgam from its inception, but due to its cost, longevity and ease of use, it became the preferred filling for both dentists and patients.

In the early ‘90s, a TV program focused public attention on the fact that it was possible that unsafe quantities of mercury from the fillings were leaching into the bodies of people with amalgam fillings. Over the years that followed, this snowballed into a major controversy. There are obvious reasons to be alarmed. Mercury has been known to be highly toxic and has multiple adverse effects on almost all body organs.
