People
who understand the decay/healing process know that it is a whole lot
easier for tooth enamel to lose mineral content than it is to
re-absorb those same minerals, repairing the damage from the loss.
Due to the several factors involved in the process of
re-mineralizing,
everything must come together at the right place with perfect
timing...another one of nature's delicate balancing acts.
One thing you can do to help out is to keep the surface of the tooth
clean - right down to the microscopic level - where it all takes place.
We believe that using our Nara
Cleansing Powder is an excellent way in helping you to achieve that.
Ever
since Närä Natural Tooth Cleansing Powder was introduced in 2005, there
has been an 8 oz. size, but available only in Peppermint.
Due to demand, more
flavors have been added; Spearmint, Clove, Cinnamon and Lemon-Lime, as
well as the Un-flavored blend.
Dropped
the price, too. Normally $24.95, you can get the 8 oz. bottle for
just $19.95 (U.S.) for a limited time, which is the same price as our
popular 2 oz. '3-Pack' (6 oz. total)...so
you get 33% MORE cleansing powder at a 20% savings.
When you think about the type of work that dentists do to
fix problems
with your teeth and
gums, it doesn't seem like the profession has
really advanced all that much over the past hundred years or so.
Certainly there have been improvements in the dentist's tools and
materials, but the basic procedures and 'final products' tend to remain
the same.
Tooth decay, for example; dig out the decay, fill in the hole, hope
they
do it properly so the filling doesn't leak. Sure, there are
lasers
which might do a better job at cleaning decayed enamel and newer
materials to replace the old silver-mercury amalgams, but they are
still 'drilling and filling,' essentially.
Of course, we have been promoting the concept of self-healing and doing
the best we can to avoid the dentist in the first place. Even so, there
are dentists who still scoff at the idea that the teeth and gums have
the ability to heal themselves, under anyconditions.
In the next few years those same dentists may well be eating their
words and treating decayed teeth with an 'accelerated self-healing'
technique while their drills are sitting in the back room
collecting dust.
This procedure is real, it works and removes 'Modern Dentistry' from
the oxymoron list.
Each
time you invest more money to buy healthier beef, there’s a chance
that you end up getting less quality than what you paid for.
How
To Make Sure Your Grass-Fed Beef Is, In Fact, Grass-Fed
By:
Nick Pineaul, Creator
and Author of The
Truth About Fat Burning Foods
You
probably already know that grass-fed beef has nothing to do with its
feedlot-raised, grain-fed cousin that’s sold in supermarkets on the
nutritional side.
In
fact, grass-fed beef contains 2 to 4 times more omega-3 (essential
fatty acids), 4 times more vitamin A and E, a lot more conjugated
linoleic acid/CLA (a natural fat burner), and less fat and calories
per pound than regular grain-fed beef you buy at the supermarket.
Grass-fed
animals are considerably healthier than grain-fed ones, which means
that farmers don’t have to use part of the 15
million pounds of antibiotics used on grain-fed cattle just to
prevent them from getting sick.
Obviously,
buying quality meat becomes a great idea to improve your own health
and support local farms that care about animals.
So
what label claim do you look for at your local Whole Foods to find
grass-fed beef?
Turns
out it’s really not that clear.
In
the last couple of years, the labeling regulations have changed quite
a lot in the beef industry.
But of course, very few customers know that.
Nowadays,
manufacturers are able to sell grass-fed beef that has been
“grain-finished” as 100% grass-fed beef.
The
problem is:
some farmers will feed their cattle grass for most of their lifespan,
but “finish” them with grains in the last months before sending
them to the slaughterhouse.
Because
the last 90 to 160 days of diet determine how much nutrition your
big, juicy steak will contain, this process removes any benefits the
initial grass diet might have had.
The
bottom line:
your beef needs to be both grass-fed and
grass-finished to contain all the nutrition it’s supposed to.
But
because those claims are still not regulated by the USDA, your best
insurance is to develop a relationship with a farmer that raises beef
the right way.
This
will give you confidence
that you’re buying the right kind.

How Big Pharma and the Media Sell Junk Science
Alliance
for Natural Health
April 22, 2014
Here’s
how to spot Big Pharma’s spin on both supplements and drugs—and where
you can get the truth.
You’ve
seen the headlines: “Fish
Oil Supplements Can Kill!” and “New
Cancer-Fighting Wonder Drug!”
These days, it seems the mainstream media is always screaming about the
latest study “proving” that supplements are bad and drugs are good. But
more often than not, the “research” behind these headlines has been
funded, manipulated, and packaged by Big Pharma.
Here
are some of industry’s (and the mainstream media’s) favorite ways to
distort science:
Publication
bias.About
half of all drug trials aren’t made publicly available, andpositive
findings are twice as likely to be published as negative findings for
the same drug. So
if a drug is harmful or doesn’t work, you’ll probably never hear about
it. Conversely, if results are negative or can be made negative for
supplements, which are thought to compete with drugs, you will
certainly hear about it.
“Seeding”
trials.Should
a study designed by the marketing department really be cited as
scientific evidence? Big Pharma has been known to disguise marketing
schemes as legitimate drugs trials (the most well-known example of this
isVioxx’s
ADVANTAGE trial). The funding of negative supplement studies is
often obscured, but we can guess where the money is coming from.
Ghostwritten
studies.Many
“independent” studies are designed, conducted, and analyzed by drug
companies—and thenpublished
under a physician’s name.
In the case of supplements, researchers biased against supplements can
readily be found, although the same names appear over and over again.
“Perfect”
patients.Study
results can also be manipulated by choosing patients who you know in
advance will demonstrate the outcome desired—for example, by giving
patients with no nutrient deficiencies a multivitamin, andthen
concluding that supplements don’t make them healthier.
Deceptively
low doses.What’s
an easy way to “prove” a dietary supplement has no impact on human
health? Give it in such low doses that the result you want is
guaranteed. Continued...

Accelerated
Self-Healing
Last month, mid-June, The
Washington Post reported on a new treatment for tooth decay, developed
by researchers at King's College London. The 'treatment' takes
advantage of the body's natural ability for teeth to heal themselves,
but speeds up that healing process. The procedure...
Say
WHAT?!
Treatment
that facilitates natural tooth healing?
This was my immediate reaction
to reading the Washinton Post story concerning the work of researchers,
Professor Nigel Pitts and Dr. Chris Longbottom, based in the Dental Institute
at King's
College
London.
Their procedure involves applying a small, imperceptible electrical
current to the site on the tooth's surface, which has lost more mineral
content than it has taken in during it's
natural process
of leaching and absorbing calcium and phosphorus ions.
The site of this imbalanced
loss of minerals is commonly referred to as a carious lesion, or cavity.
The
electrical current is utilized in such a way as to accelerate the body's
natural process of mineral absorption (re-mineralization), thereby
allowing the tooth to heal as it naturally would -- only much
faster. The technique is known as Electrically Accelerated and Enhanced
Remineralisation (EAER).
Normally, a dentist would
locate the site of the lesion, or cavity, drill out the decay which
surrounds it and fill it with either an amalgam or composite material
in order to fill in the 'hole'.
According to Professor Pitts,
"The way we treat teeth today is not ideal – when we
repair a tooth by putting in a filling, that tooth enters a cycle of
drilling and re-filling as, ultimately, each 'repair' fails."
Pitts and Longbottom have
formed an enterprise known as Reminova, Ltd.,
based in Scotland, and expect to bring the technique to the European
market within three years. Having it available to the U.S. market is
expected to take longer, due to 'a different regulatory climate'.
Obviously, keeping the teeth in
such an optimal state, where tooth decay simply does not occur, would
be ideal and we should strive for that. Unfortunately, and despite the
profession's best efforts at preventing it, tooth decay is epidemic and
winning out.
While we wait on EAER to start
going mainstream, we're going to have to rely on the body's natural
process of re-mineralization, which you can help by keeping your
teeth...
...clean.
Oil Pulling: Two Prominent
Registered Dental Hygienists Share Their Thoughts
I really never put much stock
in oil pulling. I've tried it but found that it was a little too
time consuming and inconvenient, however, I didn't feel I could make a
call with no amount of empirical evidence. I do have a long-time
customer who swears by it, or did, anyway.
I recently came across the
following video discussion on the topic by two highly regarded hygiene
professionals and decided to settle in and watch the talk. I
found it very enlightening and unbiased.
The video discussion includes
Lory Laughter, RDH, and Nancy Burkhart, RDH, who both write columns for
RDH magazine, have based recent columns on the trend of oil pulling as
a home care therapy.
