9 Tips to Keep Dentist Away

Conventional dentistry still use metals and dangerous tooth whitening technics.

Mercury and other metals are unfortunately still used in conventional dentistry even though they have well proven cancer-causing effects. Mercury is an extremely dangerous neurotoxin that damages your brain and causes permanent neurological damage.

Tooth whitening is hugely popular, however hydrogen-peroxide that is normally used for this procedure can cause your teeth to become sensitive, and can damage your gums and nerves.

Stay Away From Fluoride.

The toothpaste in most of the cases contains fluoride. Fluoride is a highly toxic agent that can cause significant health problems and is not an answer to preventing cavities contrary to what the marketing wants us to believe.

Diet is a Major Factor in Dental Health.

It may be obvious for some, however it is easily neglected that diet is a major factor in dental health.

Luka ZubiciGood oral care starts with a healthy diet of unprocessed and low-sugar foods, unpasteurized dairy and preferably raw and organic foods.  Sweet, sugary drinks, soda and carbonated drinks are severely damaging to our teeth and cause dental erosion.

Dental erosion is a process of incremental decalcification, which, over time, dissolves your teeth. Vinegar and citric juices are also shown to promote the dental erosion. Carbonation changes the pH in your mouth, weakens and slowly dissolves the enamel in your teeth. Even brushing your teeth too hard and for longer than is necessary may cause damage to enamel and gums.

Good News Called “Xylitol”

Xylitol (low glycemic, sugar like sweetener) is shown to prevent caries. Xylitol inhibits and eventually destroys “caries bacteria”. Not all xylitol products are equal, so you will need to buy a high-quality xylitol  obtained from a birch tree from Finland and pay close attention that it doesn’t contain GMO ingredients. The brands like Xylobrit  or Zylosweet (EU) and Smart Sweet (US) are good-quality choices.

9 Tips to Keep Dentist Away

  1. Floss your teeth regularly, ideally after every meal. The floss should be the non-wax, non-fluoride.
  2. Use a dry brush at a 45 degree angle. After trying far too many brushes, I have found Curaprox and have been using for few years already Curaprox Ultra Soft CS 5460.  According to the research the ideal brushing time is two minutes and the ideal pressure 150 grams (the weight of an orange).  Keep your toothbrush clean by soaking it in a cup with hydrogen-peroxide once a week.
  3. Use a fluoride-free toothpaste. Best to make it on your own, it is really easy. Take a few drops of natural antimicrobial (such as essential oil of rosemary or tea tree), xylitol and baking soda. Or mix some coconut oil, baking soda and few drops of essential peppermint oil.
  4. Use Xylitol for mouth rinsing and tooth brushing. Take half a teaspoon of xylitol powder and rinse your mouth with the xylitol for 3 -5 minutes, then spit. Alternatively, use the xylitol as your toothpaste and brush your teeth. Do not rinse your mouth to preserve xylitol’s positive effect.
  5. Avoid processed foods, sugar, refined flour and all artificial flavorings, colorings, and artificial sweeteners.
  6. Filtered, pure, non-carbonated water is clearly your absolute best beverage option regardless of your age – both for hydration, and dental health.  Stick to plain, non-carbonated water.
  7. For healthy gums free of plaque use a mixture of six parts of baking soda to one part of unrefined sea salt (blend for 30 seconds then place in a container). Wet the tip of your index finger and use a small amount of the mixture on the gums and massage it for 15min. Spit out and rinse your mouth.
  8. Whiten your teeth naturally by mixing a strawberry with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Keep the mixture on our teeth few minutes; brush it adding a bit of toothpaste and rinse. Use this method only once a week to avoid eventual damage to enamel.
  9. Make your own mouth-wash by mixing 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 3 drops of peppermint essential oils.

5 Min. Anti-Aging Facial Cream

Get rid of your expensive and toxic facial creams and make your own!

Get rid of your expensive anti-aging creams – most of them, even the most expensive brands, contain toxic and cancerogenic ingredients!

You can make your own anti-aging cream that is highly nourishing and has some outstanding anti-rid properties.

You can’t use lack of time as an excuse  as you really  need only 5 minutes which is what it takes to mix the ingredients together 🙂

You will need: Coconut oil, vitamin E, essential oils of Rosewood or Rosa damascena,  Citron, Lavender, Rosemary essential oils.

And if you don’t have the time to make and learn about it we can gladly make it for you – follow this link Belle Comme Une Rose

Caution

      • Please ensure that you are not allergic to the essential oil of your choice. To prevent any unexpected allergic reactions, please perform a skin patch test.
      • If you intend to use the cream during the day, avoid the citrus  oils as they can leave marks on your skin when exposed to the direct sunlight.

Steps

Mix in a small glass or ceramic recipient

  • 2 tablespoons (30-35ml) of organic VIRGIN Coconut oil.
  • 1 capsule of vitamin E (pierce it and squeeze in)
  • 10-12 drops of different organic pure essential oils depending on your preference. For example, a combination of Rosewood Oil (or Rosa damascena essential oil if you can afford it), Citron essential oil (all famous for their anti-wrinkle properties), Lavender and Rosemary.  If your skin is prone to acne, you may want to add couple of drops of tea tree essential oil because of its unique disinfecting and soothing properties.
  • Mix everything well with a wooden spoon.  Transfer it in a small glass jar with a lid.
  • Before applying to the face take a small quantity (really small!) of the cream, put it on your palm and dilute with few drops of tonic or hydrolate or plain water – I occasionaly use Rosa damascena hydrolate. Your skin type should dictate how much tonic/water you’d need, obviously more tonic if your skin type is mixed or oily.

The cream will keep fresh up to a year, just make sure you don’t touch it with wet fingers. It is not necessary to refrigerate,  just keep it in a dry area, temperature below 25.  If it is too warm it will start to melt so in that case  you may want to store it in the fridge.

Enjoy your new, nature-powered look in the mirror.

Detox

Detox

Detoxification is flushing out waste from our bodies. In constant process of self-renewal our cells produce waste and detoxification is a natural process. However, as we live in a toxic world, toxins are abnormally accumulated as a consequence of consuming processed foods, inhaling air filled with car exhaust, etc. and our ability to detox is severely impaired.Detox 810

  • We can naturally induce detox by eating only organic fruits, veggies, and drinking pure, filtered water.
  • Juicing appears to be most effective way to detox, alkalize and cleanse tissues, release the toxic build-up and rejuvenate the body. Moreover, detox and juicing protocols have been used extensively and successfully as natural healing protocol to cure from most of terminal diseases. See Juicing for Thriving in a Toxic World.
  • There are different detox and juicing protocols you can do to purify and rejuvenate the body.   In my Quick Recipes and Juicing sections I will regularly enclose new info and recipes that I find simple and effective.
  • Chlorella, a single-celled micro-algae, is one of the most powerful detoxification “tools” available as a supplement and used to eliminate accumulated toxins, including mercury. Make sure it is a good quality Organic Cell Broken Chlorella.
  • Aloe honey syrup (recipe captured by Father Romano Zago) is a powerful detoxifier and it helps curing the cancer.  It is very easy to make it: Father Zago’s Aloe Treatment for Cancer.
  • For those who have some minor health issues I suggest looking into more radical programs like Dr. Schulze 5- Day Liver Detox or Cleanse & Heal Your Body with Dr. Schulze’s 5-day Bowel Detox
  • Various other practices that help purify the body, expel the toxins and rejuvenate include daily stretching, rebounding on a mini-trampoline to move lymph fluid and increase the count of white blood cells as well as perspiring in a sauna to eliminate toxins through the skin.
