Self-Dentistry

My recent visit to the dentist was a wake up call to take better care of my teeth and gums. When I told the dental team I wanted to remove my amalgams for better health they were surprised.  The dentist said I was 1 in 100. Surprisingly I felt hope--that is a pretty high number of educated health nuts taking action!

A week or two before the removal I started to get serious about my daily dental health care. I am still fiddling with it, but for the most part I do this:

First thing in the morning I swish cold-pressed organic sesame oil with organic drops of tea tree oil and essential oil of lemon for 20 minutes. Not only is it refreshing, it is my understanding oil swishing pulls toxins and unhealthy bacteria from the mouth. I have done it irregularly in the past, but it is one habit I will establish before I start my second Juice Feast.

I then follow the swish with an ionic brushing using a clay based concoction, scraping my tongue, flossing, and rubbing essential oils into my gums.  Sometime this winter, I will return to the biodental clinic for a good, healthy cleaning and then comfortably step back on the path of a much more educated and disciplined form of self-dentistry.

Post Amalgam Detox

It has been one week since I've had amalgam removed completely from my mouth. The results are amazing. My eyes feel alive and my vision is sharp. Perhaps my favorite outcome is I feel like I am carrying a third lung--my breathing, even while running, is controlled and my chest expands to capacity.

My body (with a little assistance) is cleaning up on the inside and it is reflecting in my eyes. During my first Juice Feast I noticed I had no dark band around my eyes. They didn't look quite this bad (brown looks like some poor digestion!), but it gives a good picture of my condition. At the end of the Juice Feast a band had formed, but did not complete at the bottom. When I stopped Juice Feasting the band gradually faded.

Now, after the amalgam removal I have noticed the band around the eyes is coming in dark and strong.

Despite following a detox protocol I felt unwell for a day or two--no big deal, it is quite a process. I decided to relax into it and let my body heal. In the process I watched some fascinating documentaries.

The Beautiful Truth--

I rewatched this awesome documentary because it was the reason I wanted to get the amalgams removed.




I also rewatched The Gerson Miracle



And I found another Gerson documentary which really makes me think about truth in health care. Dying to Have Known.



I feel so lucky to have access to information yet I was stunned when I saw how Industry and the Government control health, too. The Corporation.

More than ever I realize how much I need to take greater responsibility for my health. For me, the more I educate myself the better. Yet there is a price to pay knowing what I know.
