MI Paste is pleasant tasting, and can be applied directly with a clean finger onto the teeth, smeared over all surfaces and left in place to slowly dissolve overnight. Any material that is swallowed is completely safe, and will contribute towards dietary calcium.

The Science behind MI Paste:

MI Paste releases RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) which adheres to soft tissue, plaque, pellicle and hydroxyapatite delivering amorphous calcium and phosphate into the saliva and plaque fluid. The mechanism of action is similar to that of the salivary protein statherin and the supply of bioavailable calcium and phosphate is able to drive remineralization, buffer acid and reduce the plaque acid effect on tooth structure. An analysis of the chemistry of demineralization and remineralization indicates that a major source of mineral oss in the caries process is the destruction of apatite with the creation of water as a by-product, and the leakage of a neutral species calcium hydrogen phosphate across a porous enamel surface.

When placed on the surface of a tooth, RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) interacts with hydrogen ions and forms the same species calcium hydrogen phosphate which, under a diffusion gradient, can enter into the tooth, react with and
consume the water to produce enamel mineral, thereby removing subsurface mineral defects.

MI Paste treatment of enamel subsurface caries has been shown to cause rapid remineralization, and this causes a change in the appearance of the lesions. Any incipient white spot lesions which are developing because of cariogenic plaque can be treated locally with RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) to achieve subsurface remineralization. This will occur in fairly short periods of time – in the order of two to four weeks.
A key principle with RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) is that the longer the material is maintained in the mouth, the more effective the result. MI Paste, which is the recommended homecare form of the product, contains 10% of the RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) molecule by weight.

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

Many times physicians will prescribe antibiotics for ‘curing’ a cold virus when it has no effect at all on a virus.  Typically bacterial secondary infections happen, such as upper respiratory infection which can be treated with antibiotics but it’s not treating the virus, just the bacteria.   Usually the one-two punch of both can seriously sicken or kill a human so it’s nothing to ignore.  That’s where rest is critical for survival vs. taking a pill to quicken the relief.

The best way to treat a cold or the flu is not to get it in the first place.  Building a strong immune system is key. This is where building up and maintaining one’s immunity is the step to less sickness.  This is not just a matter of taking a handful of supplements and skipping rest, exercise and eating right:  It’s a complete life change.

One of the most effective immune boosters and preventer of colds is raw garlic  (Josling P. Preventing the common cold with a garlic supplement: a double-blind, placebo-controlled survey. Adv Ther. 2001;18:189-93) and not because it makes everyone stay away from you.

This time of year seems to always give pause to reflection on the past year and plans for the next year.  Why not think about taking the next big step in your life?    For those of you that have help someone you know, not be criticizing but encouraging a healthier lifestyle.  If you nag someone they will think that’s what happens when you’re healthy.  ;)

Sandy Polentes is the founder of Bausc, Inc. She launched her business to help spread awareness about the toxicity in personal care products. The majority of these products contain harmful ingredients that unsuspecting consumers are using on a daily basis. These carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and allergens are absorbed by the skin and enter directly into the bloodstream.

Her inspiration to develop non-toxic products was brought on by her own devastating health problems.  Totally incapacitated, she was physically unable to care for her young children.  Desperate to find a cause she went to a broad range of well  respected physicians. None, not even specialists, were able to offer her any hope of recovery.

By fortunate coincidence, she met an integrative doctor who introduced her to a new paradigm.  He showed her how humans are exposed to  many toxic chemicals every day…not just food, water, and air but cleaning products, air fresheners, fire retardants/PBDEs (in the mattresses, computers,pajamas, interiors of airplanes and movie theaters are drenched with them), plastics, paints, glues, carpets, personal care products, prescription and over the counter  drugs, dental materials, lawn care, food packaging…and  much more. She had been going through life and never once noticed or even  gave a thought to  her daily exposure to  toxic chemicals.  She didn't know that she didn't know. A major part of her path to healing was to detoxify her body while eliminating the harmful chemicals that were part of her daily routine.  She learned that exposure to chemicals is cumulative, long lasting and may take years to reveal itself. She realized if she simply replaced toxic products with non-toxic alternatives it would lighten her body’s  burden  and allow healing.  She has experienced first hand that our bodies have the power to forgive, repair and rebound once healthy steps are taken. Bausc was created to offer women and their families’ SAFE , beautiful ,and fun products that smell delicious!  These are not your grandmother’s natural products!!

Among the findings were

• - 76 percent of samples bought at groceries had all the pollen removed, These were stores like TOP Food, Safeway, Giant Eagle, QFC, Kroger, Metro Market, Harris Teeter, A&P, Stop & Shop and King Soopers.
• - 100 percent of the honey sampled from drugstores like Walgreens, Rite-Aid and CVS Pharmacy had no pollen.
• - 77 percent of the honey sampled from big box stores like Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, Target and H-E-B had the pollen filtered out.
• - 100 percent of the honey packaged in the small individual service portions from Smucker, McDonald's and KFC had the pollen removed.
• - Bryant found that every one of the samples Food Safety News bought at farmers markets, co-ops and "natural" stores like PCC and Trader Joe's had the full, anticipated, amount of pollen.
• - And if you have to buy at major grocery chains, the analysis found that your odds are somewhat better of getting honey that wasn't ultra-filtered if you buy brands labeled as organic. Out of seven samples tested, five (71 percent) were heavy with pollen. All of the organic honey was produced in Brazil, according to the labels.

The results show that the pollen frequently has been filtered out of products labeled "honey."

The removal of these microscopic particles from deep within a flower would make the nectar flunk the quality standards set by most of the world's food safety agencies.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration says that any product that's been ultra-filtered and no longer contains pollen isn't honey. However, the FDA isn't checking honey sold here to see if it contains pollen.  Read more about the study, and previous studies at (http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/11/tests-show-most-store-honey-isnt-honey/)

Three distinct microbiomes were identified, which had characteristic signature organisms:

• A Bacteroides-dominated community was associated with people who ate animal protein and saturated fats,
• Ruminococcus tended to be linked with alcohol intake and polyunsaturated fat consumption,
• Prevotella was found in people who enjoyed a carbohydrate based diet.

A controlled-feeding study of 10 subjects showed that microbiome composition changed detectably within 24 hours of initiating a high-fat/low-fiber or low-fat/high-fiber diet, but that enterotype identity remained stable during the 10-day study. Thus, alternative enterotype states are associated with long-term diet.  You Are What You Eat (SCIENCE VOL 334 7 OCTOBER 2011)  http://www.sciencemag.org/content/334/6052/105.abstract
