Wintertime sunlight levels are much lower than they are in the summer months even if it is warmer than usual this year. A useful vitamin is generated with exposure to sun or by taking dietary supplements called Vitamin D. vitamin D is helpful in bone issues like bone pain and weak bones. Vitamin D also used for heart conditions and the circulatory system. It helps in regulating calcium so you could see why it's so critical to our diet.

Exposure to the sun should be two to three times a week for at least an hour depending on age, skin type, season, time of day. Season and time of day affect your exposure amount. Winter time means less sun strength. You would think we all get enough exposure to the sun but it's been found to not be the case. If you find you need supplements there are a few choices available. You certainly have the choice between sun and supplements with Vitamin D.

Some dietary supplement choices available include Panaca Scientific's Vit D2 liquid 10,000 IU and  Vitamin D3 by NuPathways

Nature is your best source of nutrition. However, it is now scientifically and medically recognized that even high quality and balanced diets can benefit from targeted nutritional supplements. Augmenting a healthy diet with supplements may provide the best possible opportunity to enjoy optimal health and lower the risk of disease development.
Start with these key nutritional supplements:

Vitamin D
Magnesium
Omega 3 fish oil
Vitamin C
Probiotics
Chlorella

VITAMINS & MINERALS
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is naturally present in very few foods but can be generated from direct sun exposure, which most people don't get enough of- 3 out of 4 Americans are Vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus levels which are vital for bone growth and health, promotes a healthy immune system and is effective in preventing tumor growth.

Magnesium: Magnesium maintains a healthy immune system, normal muscle and nerve function, keeps bones strong, helps regulate blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. It may also help prevent and manage hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

OMEGA FATTY ACIDS
Omega-3 Fish Oil: A pure, healthy fish oil supplement rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids is vital in maintaining healthy arteries, reducing risk of heart attack, abnormal heart rhythms, and strokes in people with known heart disease.

ANTIOXIDANTS
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient involved in a range of key metabolic reactions including bone, cartilage, muscle and blood vessel formation. It aids in iron absorption and in extreme environments can protect against the common cold. However, excessive levels can cause numerous health problems.

DIGESTIVE SUPPLEMENTS
Probiotics: Probiotics-"friendly bacteria"- found in foods like yogurt, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, improve immune function, relieve symptoms of IBS and diarrhea, and protect against colon cancer.
DETOXIFYING SUPPLEMENTS
Chlorella: This single-celled fresh water algae is a source of high-grade protein, chlorophyll A & B, 5 Minerals, 12 Vitamins and 19 Amino Acids. Chlorella is a valuable supplement removing heavy metals from the body and relieving pain and hypertension associated with chronic health problems.

4 Tips for starting a new vitamin routine:

As with anything, too much of good thing is harmful for your body. Here are few things to keep in mind when you begin a new nutritional supplement:
1. Take a variety of products and supplements to avoid unnecessary allergic reactions.
2. Take vitamin holidays. As with your diet, it's best to have variety in your routine. To avoid overuse, take a few days or weeks off now and then.
3. Strive for optimal nutrition. You need good nutrition from you diet even if you take supplements.
4. Buy quality products. You get what you pay for: not all supplements are created equal.

Gum disease is most often caused by germs that cause your white blood cell body guards to invade your periodontal tissues. Brushing and flossing is important, but periodontal germs and plaque is often missed by even expert flossers and brushers. Dr. leonard Horowitz America’s leading dental self-care expert original formula liquid dentist never misses. Dr. Horowitz co-formulated LIQUID DENTIST to help re-calcify, re-mineralize, and re-harden tooth structures that have not been drilled away or lost due to old decay and tooth fractures. PLUS, this "LD528" formula kills periodontal pathogens and leaves your breath fresh and teeth feeling professionally.  This Silver-oxygenating remineralizing liquid flows where brush and floss can’t get. it helps disinfect beneath your gums and on root surfaces to arrest gum inflammation that leads to periodontal disease. Simply syringing or irrigating with liquid dentist can even HELP stop gum disease in “deep pockets.”

liquid dentist works simply, naturally, and effectively by sending liquid MICRO-SILVER AND oxygen deep within your teeth and gums. This amazing liquid energetically zaps the varmints that cause these diseases. The refreshing liquid then helps repair your teeth and gums most naturally.

when using liquid dentist to reverse tooth decay, Avoid sweets that feed decay-producing germs. This helps liquid dentist USE ITS electrically-active SiLVER and oxygen TO electrocute the microbes menacing your teeth. Then, their dead bodies remain within your tooth surrounded by the tooth’s original protein fibers. The dead microbes and healthy filaments that dentists always drill away can actually help repair your teeth naturally. The protein filaments act like construction rebar--iron rods used to strengthen cement buildings. the germ bodies act like little stones in cement that increase strength in the cured filler. So when liquid dentist flows minerals, including calcium and phosphate naturally into teeth, into each area of tooth decay prepared by the silver & oxygen, this “one two punch” can help new tooth structure form even harder, and more decay resistant, than your original tooth (according to published scientific studies). BUT YOU MUST STAY AWAY FROM SUGAR (REFINED CARBOHYDRATES) IF YOU WANT TO REVERSE DEEP DECAY.

HOW TO USE LIQUID DENTIST SO YOU END DRILLING, FILLING & BILLING! (Provided by Liquid Dentist)

• Begin by starving decay-causing bacteria by eliminating sugars (refined carbohydrates) from your diet.

• Mechanically clean your teeth well. That is, brush and floss your teeth thoroughly. Make sure you floss correctly. That is, do not “saw” your teeth with the floss, but plane the interproximal surfaces of your teeth using an "up-and-down" motion, not back-and-forth. This will get the most plaque off your teeth.
• Next, for any large or deep cavities, or periodontal pockets, use a rubber pick (gum stimulator), tooth pick, or proxy brush, to clean out these areas as best you can.
• Stick the bristles of your toothbrush into LIQUID DENTIST and then brush every side of every tooth with it. Re-wet your brush bristles as needed to feel most comfortable and enjoy the pleasant minty taste of this liquid.
• Irrigate deep periodontal pockets using LIQUID DENTIST diluted 50% with water, or use a blunt-ended syringe to flush infected periodontal pockets with this product. Finally, rinse your mouth thoroughly by swishing LIQUID DENTIST around your mouth for 1 to 3 minutes.
• Then swallow to make the best use of this health enhancing all natural product.
• Now, . . . take the tip of your tongue and feel how clean and smooth your teeth feel. You should experience the cleanest teeth you have ever felt in your life. Keep them that way by doing the same thing just once, or at most twice, a day. It is not necessary to do this after every meal as dentists commonly recommend.

Questions & Answers

Q: I have 2 root canaled teeth that have broken off. Is there any hope for regenerating those teeth, or otherwise healing/repairing them in a low-cost and natural way?

A: LIQUID DENTIST is best used to prevent this situation. Once the main connective tissue protein fibers in the structure of a tooth is drilled away, or broken down from severe decay, the missing pieces cannot be regenerated reliably using LIQUID DENTIST.

For this situation you need either: 1) a LIVING DENTIST who is affordable, sensitive to your needs, and technically skilled; or 2) to keep the broken tooth VERY clean using mechanical aids, including brushes and picks, plus avoiding refined carbohydrates to reduce the risk of additional decay. Add to this tooth hygiene and good nutrition additional immune system boosting from products like LOVEMinerals, PrimoLife, ZeoLife, and LIQUID DENTIST when swallowed, and you may be able to forestall further tooth, bone, and periodontal destruction.

Q: How about other decay that seems to be pointing to "a root canal is necessary"?

A: This is a GREAT question. But “pointing” to a root canal, and a “necessary” root canal, are two different things. “Pointing” implies the nerve is still alive (i.e., a “vital” tooth remains). If this is the case, LIQUID DENTIST, along with the complete avoidance of foods containing decay-promoting processed sugars, will cause the decay to “arrest” or stop. Then, you may be able to restore the tooth very nicely (depending on how much of the tooth structure remains viable for remineralization using LIQUID DENTIST daily rinses.)

Remember, tooth restoration using LIQUID DENTIST always depends on: 1) the good vitality of the nerve; 2) the sugar-starving and oxygen killing of decay producing (acid forming) germs IN the tooth; and 3) the presence of dental connective tissue fibers that act like rebar (for structural support) forming the tooth’s protein matrix into which calcium, phosphate, and other natural hardening elements (that form the hard “hydroxyapatite” tooth structure) become absorbed.

Q: I have a lot of bone loss in certain parts of my mouth, and I'm wondering whether the Liquid Dentist might somehow help in regenerating bone along with gum tissue and teeth?

A: LIQUID DENTIST is not used to regenerate bone or gum tissues that have receded down the roots of teeth due to periodontal disease. LIQUID DENTIST will arrest tooth decay and gum disease when coupled with proper self-care that includes avoiding the sweets (as mentioned above) AND, for gum disease, good mechanical cleaning daily using brushes, floss, and pics when necessary.

Q: Do you have any actual clinical evidence of this product regenerating teeth, bone, or gum?

A: LIQUID DENTIST is not able to regenerate hard and soft periodontal tissues that resulted from chronic periodontitis producing receding gums.  There is substantial clinical evidence proving the combination of medical ozone, followed by mineral mouth rinsing, “regenerates” tooth structure. LIQUID DENTIST was formulated based on these readily available published studies.

Q: Is swallowing LIQUID DENTIST important for regenerating teeth?

A: Swallowing LIQUID DENTIST may have a beneficial impact systemically in preventing bone bone loss and gum recession from periodontal disease. The reason for this is simple--LIQUID DENTIST contains a remarkable combination of immune boosting monoatomic and diatomic minerals besides a high concentration of safe nano-silver that will kill germs and retard periodontal degeneration. Swallowing LIQUID DENTIST is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for its beneficial affects on total body health. If you are using LIQUID DENTIST this way, there is probably no need for you to use OxySilver, because you are getting plenty of micro-silver antimicrobial impact with LIQUID DENTIST alone when swallowed.

Natural health care practitioner and master herbalist Byron White developed these preparations selecting for their synergetic properties. These formulas are herbal extracts (1:1) using purified grape alcohol. The herbs along with their synergistic energetics have been specifically selected for use with Chronic Lyme disease and the chronic fatigue-like illnesses. According to Dr. Wayne Anderson, "The formulas are designed to work energetically and herbally. Dr. White has created a fundamentally different approach to the treatment of microorganisms. He has found, through specific blends of herbs, combined with the principles of physics, a way to neutralize the energetics of pathogens. Each formula targets a specific pathogen, weakens it, disorganizing its ability to function and reproduce. This works through the immune system, identifying the threat, herbally neutralizing it and helping to eliminate it from the body. The energetic components of the formulas can reach any place in the body, unlike other forms of treatment."

Four Therapeutic Properties of the BWF

The BWF work on multiple levels simultaneously. Their therapeutic actions can be divided into the three categories: Provoking (primary and secondary), Regulatory and Regenerative.

They are powerful and specific. When used against the appropriate microorganism the patient can experience significant therapeutic effect from a small dose.

The formula's Provoking Action refers to the specific activation of the immune system against one or more microorganisms. This agent will help the immune system recognize the threat, disorganize it, and not allowing it to reproduce. As it is broken into pieces the cell has the improved ability to move them out. The formula assists in the unloading of the pathogen from the cell. The same formula will act on a less specific way on other pathogens. These less significant immune responses will be listed in the Secondary Action section.

The Regulatory Mechanisms of the formulas help the homeostatic mechanisms of the cell reestablish themselves. The immune, endocrine, gastrointestinal and nervous systems are balanced as the functions of the cells are reinstated. The

Regenerative Properties of the formulas are necessary for further rehabilitation. The rebuilding of cells leads to individual organ revival, which rejuvenates to the bodies organ systems. BWF provides the cells with accessible nutrients and cell communicators to promote anabolic function. The formulas promote the removal of stored toxins further improving healing.

Samento, also known as Cat’s claw, Spanish, Uña de Gato,  botanically known as   grows in central and south America within the jungle environment.  Cat’s claw gets its name from the hooks on the long reaching vine that grow in the rain forests of those regions.  It has been used for thousands of years as an anti-inflammatory in the intestinal tract and diarrhea. The roots and bark are used in a number of different forms including extracts, powders and infusion.  Homeopathic remedy uses of cat's claw include treatments for Crohn's disease, gastric ulcers and tumors, parasites, colitis, gastritis, diverticulitis, and leaky bowel syndrome among many reported attributes. It’s also considered an immunity booster, immune modulator and may demonstrate anti-hypertensive elements helping in controlling strokes and heart attacks. Of great interest to sufferers of Lyme disease is the ability to fight infection caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi, Bb pathogen and its relatives. 

Minor genetic variations called Chemotypes of Uncaria tomentosa, containing Pentacyclic Alkaloid Chemotype, can have positive effects or neutral effects.  If it contains  tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that act upon the central nervous system it can greatly inhibit the positive effect of the pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs).  It is possible to cultivate the species to include the desirable traits which is what you should see on the label, 100% free of tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids, (TOAs).

Some of the supplements that include Samento are:

PC-Samento which is in a liquid form and 100% free of TOA

Samento Liquid Extract from NutraMedix also is TOA free , contains alcohol

It is highly recommended to consult with your healthcare practitioner.

Cilantro or Coriander (it’s botanical name is, Coriandrum sativum ) is an herb/spice with many culinary tastes and unknown to many, a medical herb too.  What makes it so unique in the culinary world is it’s two flavors, one for the coriander leaves, better known as ‘Cilantro’ and a completely different taste from the seeds of coriander which is considered a spice.  Western Europeans tend to have a negative response to the taste and smell of Cilantro leaves, at least until they get used to the flavor.  It’s used extensively in Latin American cuisine and its use has exploded in the United States in Salsas in the last 20 years.  Coriander seeds are used more in Indian cuisines and have a more citrus flavor. It’s one of the spices in garam masala (non-Indians would call this ‘curry’ powder)

 Sometimes Cilantro is confused with Culantro, Eryngium antihystericum,  which to me is even stronger smelling. It’s used more in Caribbean cooking and does not look anything like Cilantro. The first time I saw it was as a grower at a plant nursery.  I must admit we all thought it was Cilantro because of the smell but the Puerto Rican workers said no it’s something else although the word was not familiar.  No matter it does taste good when used by the right cooks.   Food of the Caribbean is wonderful.

As an herbalist, it’s interesting to note the medicinal uses of coriander/cilantro.  The coriander leaves, according to the USDA  contains about 4 grams of carbs, 3 grams dietary fiber, 2 grams protein and 27 mg of Vitamin C.   Additionally the seeds and leaves have been identified with containing antioxidants.  Traditionally it’s been used as a digestive aid and anti-flatulent.  There are many other uses in integrated medicine including metal detox, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, anorexia, conjunctivitis, skin issues, diarrhea, digestion, colic, vomiting, griping, hemorrhoids, preventive infection, neuralgia, Lyme, HIV, Cancer, sore throat, antibilious/inflammatory/spasmodic, urinary tract, alterative, aphrodisiac, carminative, aromatic, diaphoretic, diuretic, stimulant, stomachic and tonic.

Cilantro (the leaves of coriander) is offered in liquid form by three companies

Magnesium is an essential mineral providing support for bones, immunity, and many other biochemical reactions. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels and can help manage diabetes.   We typically absorb Magnesium when we eat dark-green leafy vegetables, whole grains and legumes like peanuts, peas or beans.  Where we don’t get Magnesium is in refined grains like what’s found in white flour and white bread. 

Why this is all important is studies have shown (1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) many adults in the United States were not getting the proper amounts of Magnesium.  With enriched white flour products everywhere, we are robbed of proper nutrition one would expect from eating grain.  Other issues that affect one’s absorbing Magnesium are the health of the digestive tract and kidneys.  Diseases such as Crohn’s disease can restrict the body absorbing nutrients such as Magnesium.

According to the Institute of Medicine. Food and Nutrition Board. Dietary Reference Intakes: Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Fluoride. (National Academy Press. Washington, DC, 1999) an adult male recommended dietary dose is 400 mg/day at age 19-30 with 30+ recommended dose at 420 mg/day and females in the 310 mg/day  age 19-30 and increasing after 30 to 320 mg/day.  You can see with the recommended levels as we grow older we need more Magnesium.  That's a whole bunch of bananas! As with any information you should always consult with your practitioner first as to what is best for you.

As suggested before there are many sources of Magnesium but when levels are low you may need to take a supplement like M/M Miraculous Magnesium which helps boast the body’s level of magnesium.  The advantage to M/M Miraculous Magnesium is it’s in liquid form which can be absorbed much faster than capsule based supplements.

Taking too much Magnesium can result in cramping and diarrhea which can happen when using large amounts of Magnesium based antacids or laxatives.  Always consult with your healthcare provider.

Garlic is a bulb from the botanical Lily family and has been used by humans for thousands of years.  The family of Allium includes onions, shallots, leeks, Rakkyo, and chives of which garlic is included.  It provides many benefits besides the Mediterranean food table.  Originating in Asia, garlic has been used for medicinal purposes including externally as an antibacterial and internally for aliments with fungal infections in the lungs.

Garlic has so many folk based cures it can be hard to sort out its benefits but if you like garlic it can be a great opportunity to have something healthy for you.  Without question garlic has an excellent vitamin and mineral profile.  In fact for a time raw garlic was used to provide vitamin C for scurvy.  Also high in Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Vitamin B, Iron, Zinc, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Manganese and a few grams of protein for an amazing collection of nutrition in one small package. If you have ever seen a garlic plant in bloom it’s easy to imagine the vigor continued within the raw dormant bulbs.  Raw garlic, especially aged, can have a powerful antioxidant effect  too.

 As with all good things eating too much garlic can tip the scale and lead to ingestion or nausea.  Always consult your health practitioner if you’re planning to live on it or you’re just unsure.  Some people are allergic to garlic and other food items from the Lily family like onions, ginger and bananas.  If you feel effects by eating raw garlic than it would be highly recommended to seek counsel before taking a supplement.

Some of the best ways of enjoying garlic is preparing it raw.  Fresh Gazpacho with raw garlic is heavenly and healthy too.  Raw garlic is great in salads too.  It is stronger in flavor so you may want to experiment with the best quantity.  It does grow on you with its bright flavors.  If your pressed for time or you need added nutritional benefits of garlic then try our organic freeze dried garlic in capsule form. 

Probiotics, from the Lactobacillus and bifidobacterium genera (bacteria family), provide an important role in health supplements. Our digestive system has a population of good bacteria that help digest food and keep us regular. Probiotic balance promotes proper digestion, aids in production of vitamins, supports healthy immune responses and defends against bad bacteria that are harmful to you. This leads to complications like nausea, diarrhea, constipation, yeast infections heartburn, gastritis, ulcers, hemorrhoids, flatulence, constipation, and colon cancer risk.

As we grow older our digestive system malfunction becomes more common from food allergies, antibiotic use and an unhealthy diet that does not include fermented food types. In order to restore or replace the flora a probotics product is in order. Probably the most convenient is Probiotic pearls which come in a easy to use package with individual 'pearls' one ingests daily.

With probiotics supplements we can find a wide range of 'good bacteria' and it can be confusing to someone new to this kind of dietary supplement. Which one is best? Might be a question asked and the answer is all of them. Your stomach and intestines are colonized by all kinds of bacteria and when they are under stress or worse killed off from the side effects of antibiotics it takes a lot and a diversity to restore your digestive system. Even if one were drinking 'the mother' in vinegar or active yeast in beer one would still need a greater number of colonies in balance. Even if one were drinking 'the mother' in vinegar or active yeast in beer one would still need a greater number of colonies in balance.
