No Cavities! Again!

March 30th, 2008 · No Comments

I went to the dentist last week and, once again, I had no cavities, no bone loss and my gums are healthy.

From 2003 to 2005, I began to have loads of problems with my mouth:

  • Hypersensivity – My teeth were so sensitive I had to take aspirin before eating.
  • Gum disease – receeding gums despite daily flossing and brushing.
  • Bone loss – I actually lost a tooth!
  • Decay – No matter how often I cleaned, or what I ate, I had decay every time I went to the dentist. I even had to have a root canal. My teeth had also become very brittle.

I was sure that I would be toothless in 10 years and I was paying loads of money in dental bills.

Cansema for removing skin cancer

March 1st, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve had a brown spot on my right hand that appeared suddenly and would change from looking like a mild burn to a dry patch with a tiny dark spot and then back to a mild burn. It didn’t look like any of the skin cancer images I saw on the internet. I forgot to mention it to my GP last time I was in for a blood test so I couldn’t be sure of what it was. I had some Cansema from my father who had used it successfully on a number of skin cancers over the years and thought I would give it a try. Apparently, if you put it on healthy skin nothing much happens, but if you put it on cancerous tissue it will build a very sore scab that takes about 10 days to fall off (taking the cancer with it) leaving what looks like a hole in your skin which heals over.

When I applied the Cansema, I really didn’t think anything would happen and was very surprised when the patch turned into a very sore scab. It’s almost 10 days and it’s close to falling off. I’ll post again when it’s all healed.

While I don’t recommend not getting checked by a doctor first, I’m very glad I gave this a try. I had some bad sun exposure as a kid and have always worried a bit about skin cancer. I’m much less worried now!

Coconut oil for beautiful skin & hair

October 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I’m always looking for new ways to keep my skin healthy and radiant. Two months ago I ran out of my usual (and expensive) anti-oxidant day cream. Fearing I might dry up and blow away, I massaged a bit of organic coconut oil (what I use for cooking) onto my face and neck. I loved how my skin absorbed it right in so I thought I’d try a bit of an experiment and use it for two months. [Read more →]

Gum Disease and Tooth Decay – 3 Ways to Improve Dental Health and Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease
By Dan Martin

Is your mouth trying to tell you something? Do your gums bleed? Do you have sensitive teeth? Are your teeth brittle? Do you have tooth decay despite regular brushing and flossing? Has your dentist noticed bone loss? Has a tooth fallen out?

The health of our mouths is an indicator of our overall health. If you have any of the above problems, you should be looking for the underlying causes. Proper regular brushing and flossing is important, but if it doesn’t resolve the problems, you need to do more. If you don’t, you could be increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
