My Kids Don’t Need Braces Because Of Meat and Butter

I got back from the dentist with a huge feeling of relief a couple months back. He told me that all 3 of my kids don’t need braces, and if I did want them, they wouldn’t be covered under insurance because they are considered cosmetic. As I’ve been on our journey to reverse autism by …

Fluoride Research and Why We Don’t Use It

Fall Reading- Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Eat Fat Lose Fat

A friend told me that if you request books that the library ‘needs’ through their website, they actually usually get them. So as I see books come up related to real food or other things I’m interested in, I request them. So that’s what I’ve been doing lately, reading real books rather than blogs. If …

Tooth Soap Update

I bought the kids tooth brushes at the health food store, since I was determined to find ones that didn’t have a character on them, and everywhere else had characters on them.

Tooth Soap- How Does It Stack Up?

Remineralization Toothpastes

I’m still looking into holistic dentistry, and in doing that I’ve come across remineralization toothpastes. My friend, Jess, recommended Dr Collin’s ‘Restore’ Fluoride free toothpaste.

Holistic dental health

When I first got Nourishing Traditions I had to unlearn a lot of what I had just learned a few years prior in pre-nursing school (mainly nutrition and physiology). The main myths that I had believed were 1. A calories is a calorie. To lose weight output must be more than input. (it’s a lot …
