I was very upset and resentful. His handout had been a little vague on this subject of how long I’d have to avoid these things, and he hadn’t elaborated or pointed this out in any of our office visits. He had emphasized the need to avoid antidotes several times, but he hadn’t said for how long. To me it was a major omission.

None of these antidotes were things that I couldn’t give up for quite a long time, but many were things I am quite fond of. Not just coffee (I really liked it but could live without it). Not just mint (the only non-mint toothpaste I had found was a horrid-tasting fennel). But “strong” herbal teas, with no real guidelines for which ones were acceptable. And aromatherapy, which I loved in my bath and massages. And, worst of all from my standpoint, a certain recreational drug that was my cocktail and my preferred self-medication for stress.

These were things that I certainly could give up. I’d stopped drinking coffee for years when I first got interested in holistic health. When I started again, I had just one or two cups a day and sometimes none at all. And I hadn’t used any drugs, recreational or otherwise, for several years when I was trying to get pregnant, and I had continued to abstain when I was pregnant.

I felt blind-sided, disappointed, and almost betrayed. I felt that I had had no opportunity to prepare myself to give up these things or voluntarily agree to do this. The decision-making power had been taken from me, I felt, since the length of time that I was going to have to avoid antidotes was never explained until after I had taken the remedy.

So I became resentful and rebellious. It felt like I’d been put on a diet without my consent, and the forbidden foods held far more attraction than they would otherwise. When I visited a friend the following month, I didn’t refuse her offer of recreational drugs. After all, it was my birthday, and I deserved the treat. Maybe a little coffee, too.

Alternative remedies for cancer prevention and treatment are very popular now days. Articles abound on everything from diet to yoga to meditation. Even the American Cancer Society has included a page on their site pertaining to alternative and complimentary medicine. Among their list of “helpful complementary approaches” are aromatherapy, and prayer and spiritual practices. Dr. Lorraine Day, MD  agrees that prayer is a very important part of recovery. She says, “You can’t improve on God”, meaning not only prayer, but eating what God provides for food, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and juices of such. Rev. George Malkmus also says the diet from Genesis 1:29 is the one that cured him of his cancer. Fresh fruits and vegetables!

All authorities I have read will agree that the diet is one of the major factors in preventing and curing any disease. After all, you are what you eat! As for supplements, we have seen that among those recommended for cancer, the following are included: CoQ10-100 mg, Selenium, 200 mcg., garlic, melatonin, colloidal silver, and anti-oxidents. Building the immune system is the key! A healthy immune system will allow the body to heal itself. If you have already had chemotherapy or radiation, Algin is a product recommended by leading health professionals. Also needed are moderate exercise, plenty of rest, and lots of pure water. Dr. Day says we are chronically dehydrated! We need lots of water to maintain a healthy body. That is also what Dr. Terry Friedman says. He works with cancer patients, and uses essential oils, which he has gotten amazing results from.

He recommends frankincense, exodus and exodus II, (among other things) no animal products, and lots of pure water! The oils not only increase oxygen in the air and cells, they have the ability to increase anti-body and endorphin production. Frankincense has shown immune enhancing abilities. Remember, anything you do to build the immune system will help you. Start with a good colon cleanse. Eat foods as close to the way God created them as you can, get some form of mild exercise, a little sunshine, lots of rest and water, and talk to your health care professional about the right supplements for you. Oh, and don’t forget to say your prayers!

Teeth whitening is a version of cosmetic dentistry that is widely used in the current world, and why should it be used? Currently almost anybody on a budget can afford to make their teeth whiter, no matter how much time they have.

One of the best, most worthwhile teeth whitening mixtures that can be used at home is hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. When the hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with a tooth, it makes a lot of oxygen bubbles which go into the enamel and bleaches the stain producing matter. Baking soda gets rid of plaque, and aids the peroxide in stain fighting. When you use these two ingredients together, your mouth will be as clean feeling as when you get finished at the dentist’s office. You shouldn’t have to pay more than 4 dollars for a baking soda and peroxide toothpaste at the drug store in your town, and this will be the beginning of a whiter smile.

WHITE LIGHT Teeth Whitening System is increasing in popularity for home use. Advanced light, together with the special gel formula, quickly gets rid of stains on the surface and goes deep to get rid of set in stains. The WL system should be applied one time daily and left on for 30 minutes at a time, for a maximum of 5 days. You may buy Teeth Whitening kits online for $29.90.

The greatest way to be sure your teeth stay that pearly white that we all want, is just eating correctly and keeping up with good dental hygiene. Watch out for food and drinks that have a lot of sugar in them, since this will stain your teeth after awhile. It is necessary to brush and floss two times daily to have teeth that are clean white and healthy. All dentists recommend this as it makes perfect sense that brushing and flossing helps to get rid of plaque and stains, helping your teeth stay strong and white.

All of us have wished for whiter teeth at some point, so why wait any longer? Using a few simple steps and yearning for a shining white smile, your teeth can be white very soon.
