Natural Healing Power

This time I came along this newsletter of Frederic Patenaude, and thought I really wanted to share this with you. If you want to overcome dental decay, and eliminate dentists bills, then read on! There are 14 hours left of the 24-hour special!

Here it is:

The other day I received an e-mail from one of my readers.
He asked me “What’s the difference between the Toothsoap
you sell and your new Toothpowder?”

These are some products I’ve used myself for overcoming
dental decay and even re-enamelizing my teeth, and almost
eliminate my dentist bills completely. Both are available on
my site.

So what’s the difference between the two?

———————————–
Let me explain, but first, please note that anyone who
orders Toothsoap or Toothpowder in the next 24 hours will
also get a copy of our program “How to End Dental Decay
Forever — A Daily Checklist”. This is complete program
that I created, with over 2 hours of audio and two eBooks.

*Toothsoap*

Check this out and click on the picture:

Every since I introduced Toothsoap in our product line,
I’ve received literally hundreds of rave reviews! This
product works, but in a very surprising way.

Yes, it’s actually soap. But soap made through a very
special process.

What’s great about it are the results!

Users report major improvements in tooth sensitivity, gum
recession, decay, and more!

The key element is that it’s non-abrasive and
anti-bacterial at the same time. Also, it doesn’t contain
any glycerin (which is an element used in most toothpastes
to give consistency) which normally coats the teeth with a
thin film that is hard to remove.

The results? Your teeth can actually reenamelize
themselves.

I actually proved it to myself a few years ago after making
some changes in my diet (namely I stopped eating so much
acid stuff) and using toothsoap.

Some of my teeth actually reenemalized (confirmed by my
dentist) in areas where it had begun to erode.

So that’s for the toothsoap. Read the testimonials we got
on that page and decide for yourself.

*ToothPowder*

Check this out as well: ToothPowder

I recently introduced another dental health product in our
catalog, simply because I felt there was something missing.

You see… Toothsoap is great, but because it’s completely
non-abrasive, it’s possible that some people may experience
some staining.

Most of my readers consume heavily items such as greens and
fruits, which are colored and can stain the teeth to give
them a nasty looking aspect.

This is of course purely cosmetic! And it may happen faster
when you use Toothsoap on a regular basis, because of the
very fact that it leaves your teeth so clean, therefore more
prone to staining.

The advantage of Toothpowder is that it contains a mild
abrasive agent that will help remove any stains on your
teeth and keep them white.

But it’s also one of the most effective anti-microbial,
natural tooth product you’ll ever find.

It naturally restores the alkalinity of the mouth as well,
with the special type of sea salt used in the formula.

So that’s why I also recommend the Toothpowder. I use it
myself, and it’s especially useful because you can also add
some to your oral irrigator (which you should get anyway for
perfect teeth!).

To get the details and order, go to: ORDER TOOTH POWDER

*How to Use It*

I personally prefer to use a combination of Toothsoap and
Toothpowder. For example, in the morning I use the
Toothsoap. But at least once a day I’ll use the Powder. And
then, with my oral irrigator, I always add a little bit of
ToothPowder for an extra anti-microbial effect.

Try it out yourself.

PS: Remember, for the next 24 hours, anyone who orders
Toothpowder or Toothsoap will get a copy of our program
“How to End Dental Decay Forever, a Daily Checklist.”

This includes actually two hours of audio and two eBooks…
and it is the method that I used to reverse years of dental
problems, to now get perfect checkups every time.

Cayenne is also known as Cayenne Pepper, Red Pepper, Capsicum, Spanish Pepper, Bird Pepper, Chili Pepper, African Red Pepper, American Red Pepper, Garden Pepper, Cockspur Pepper. The best comes from Africa and South America!

I have realized that quite a few people are against the use of cayenne, because it is said to be an irritating substance, but let us look at it and you can decide for yourself if you want to use it or not.

Looking at the medicinal values I personally don’t believe it can do any harm. Dr J.R. Christopher, a renowned herbalist in the USA, and other great herbalists like Jethro Kloss, and others, have used it extensively without ever having seen any negative side effects.

One thing though…..it HAS to be raw. It becomes an irritating substance when heated or cooked. Make sure the powder is not ground at high temperature and that it is not irradiated. Buying certified organic cayenne is the only way to be sure, unless you grow your own of course. I have also learned to remove the stems in order to reduce the fiber, which is important when you use a lot of it.

Cayenne is a great stimulant, but let that not deter you, because it does no harm to the system, not even to the most delicate tissues. It can hurt, yes, but it will do no harm, PROVIDED it is raw and you are using the whole food, that is: not an extract of the capsaicine, but the whole pepper. That makes all the difference. Isolated capsaicine is extremely powerful and behaves like a drug, while the natural whole pepper is totally safe.

You can safely put in open wounds and it will cause healing. It is also disinfectant and it will stop any bleeding really fast. Black pepper on the other hand will irritate, and will not promote healing.

Cayenne is known for its ability to prevent and cure stomach ulcers, I don’t know of a faster and more effective cure. Many people are afraid of the initial pain, but there are many reports of those who have been brave enough to take the cayenne who have been cured overnight. Probably the healing took a bit longer, but at least the pain was relieved that fast. There is an interesting report about a man who was going to commit suicide because he could no longer cope with the pain. He decided to take an overdose of drugs, but found out that his wife had cleared the medicine cabinet and filled it with herbs. He took 3 tablespoons of cayenne, thinking that would do the job. In stead of succumbing he had his first night’s sleep in many years and in the morning his wife had to wake him up for work. His pain had gone. He kept on using it and his ulcers were cured for ever.

Cayenne is equally effective for indigestion. Try it and you will be amazed. It also stimulates digestion, and will promote good bowel movements. It kills any fungi in the intestines.

Because of its pain-reducing and anti-inflammatory effects it is effectively used for rheumatism, cluster headaches, pain of osteoarthritis, sprains, muscle pains, arthritis, lumbago, sciatica and even for pleurisy.

Like Hawthorn Berry, Cayenne is a super food for the heart. Dr Christopher said that he never ever lost one patient with a heart infarction, because of the use of cayenne. It also reduces blood cholesterol, triglyceride levels and platelet aggregation, while it helps the body to dissolve the fibrin which is involved in formation of blood clots. ‘Cultures where hot peppers like cayenne are used liberally have a much lower rate of heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism’

Cayenne regulates the circulation, it is a powerful and fast agent to stop external and internal bleeding, and is effectively used in coma and profound shock.

It is reported to be a specific and very effective, almost certain remedy for yellow fever.

With my knowledge and experience I would say, if I had to choose ‘one’ herb to work with I would choose cayenne. That would be my best herb for emergencies! It is totally safe because it can be given without measure and without fear of overdose!

We have all heard remarkable success stories of people on raw food diets, but we don’t hear so much about those who don’t really thrive on it, despite of their best efforts to do everything just right. One may be struggling with cravings, deficiencies, dental problems etc, not knowing why, while others are so successful. If you are one of those people struggling, then be sure to check out the Green for Life Program

There can be different reasons for failure. We can easily miss some important factors, and there are also different ways to eat raw. Here are some common limiting factors (they may sound so simple, but read on):

1 Do you get enough sleep? Really, this is often overlooked. It is so easy to go late to bed because we want to finish this or that, at least that is my personal experience. The bad news is: nothing makes up for lack of sleep! It may take some discipline to get to bed in time.

On the other hand, there are powerful techniques which can help us to optimize our sleep in such a way that we can cut our sleeping time considerably and feel even more energized than ever before. You will find incredible and simple to apply powerful techniques in the book
“Powerful Sleep, Secrets of the Inner Sleep Clock”

2 Do you get enough sunlight? Most people tend to think that they get sufficient sunlight, but 2 quotes from The American Journal of CLINICAL NUTRITION may convince you that may not always be the case:

[The elderly are at risk for vitamin D deficiency because of poor dietary vitamin D intake and decreased exposure to sunlight. We observed that 30%, 42%, and 84% of free-living white, Hispanic, and black elderly were vitamin D deficient [25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L] at the end of August in Boston]

[ We observed that 32% of healthy adults 18-29 y of age were vitamin D deficient [25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L] at the end of the winter in Boston]

Did you know that your body only absorbs 10-15% of Calcium from your food in the absence of sunlight, while it absorbs about 30% of the Calcium from milk with adequate sun exposure? Adequate Calcium is needed for long term success on the raw food diet. (I am not encouraging you to go for milk, this is just an example).

Did you realize that you effectively block production of vitamin D with a good sunscreen? If you do it properly you can block up to 95-99% !

We have been warned to avoid sun exposure to reduce the risk of skin cancer, but did you know that sunlight also has a powerful anti-cancer effect? In vitamin D deficiency there is an increased risk of cancer, as well as of diabetes type 1, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

Raw vegans are especially at risk of developing vitamin D deficiency, because they have fewer resources from the foods they eat. Oily fish for example is a good source of vitamin D, and so is cod liver oil, but vegans will not take these. They also tend to take fresh produce rather than vitamin D fortified products. It is clear that vegans need to be more diligent in seeking sun exposure than others. Don’t let lack of time restrain you. Most likely you can find more opportunities for being in the sun than you realize right now.

3 Do you get enough exercise? It is my observation that those who are successful on a raw food diet are the ones who do vigorous work-outs. I don’t need to tell you why exercise is necessary. One of the many reasons can be that exercise provides acid in the body which can counteract the alkalinity of vegetables and fruits. For well-being we need about 80% alkaline and 20% acid foods. In my observation it may be that the body can handle alkaline fruits and vegetables when combined with vigorous (acid-forming!) exercise! So exercise could replace the need for heavy or cooked foods to balance the diet.

4 Are you consuming a lot of nuts/seeds/oils? One possibility is that a high fat diet is draining your energy. You may think you are not getting much fat, but watch out! Fatty foods are very concentrated, it is very easy to overdo on fats on a raw diet. Keep a food log for some days, and you may be unpleasantly surprised!

5 Do you get enough greens? They are loaded with phyto-nutrients and absolutely essential for survival and success on a long term raw diet.

I want to draw your attention to the Green for Life Program. The next group cleanse begins March 31st, 2008. They can only take 50 people at this time, so be sure to join before they’re full. If you join now, then ‘you’ll be automatically signed up for their upcoming and never-done-live-before “Mono-Meal Cleanse”, which you can follow right after the Green Cleanse, for the ultimate detox ever! ‘

Yours in health,

When a person gets old and stiff, gets arthritis, spurs on the spine, a wrinkled skin, etc, we normally blame old age.

Would you ever think this person may suffer from a sodium deficiency? Do you think it is possible in this modern age with its excessive intakes of salt to not get enough sodium in our diets?

Yes, it is possible! You know, there is a difference between sodium which is in natural foods and between sodium chloride from our table salt. We can have an excess of sodium chloride and at the same time a deficiency of organic sodium.

Sodium contained in natural foods comes in such a package (with a whole lot of other minerals and trace-elements etc) that the body can make full use of it. Sodium chloride on the other hand comes with a lot of additives which make it insoluble, and the only thing the body can do is excrete it as it is (in urine or sweat) or deposit it somewhere.

Table-salt has been heated at extraordinary temperatures of 800-1000 C in order to let additives like bleaching agents and anti-caking agents bind with it and coat it in such a way that it can be poured readily under all conditions. The same in the body, the salt crystals are coated and do not readily dissolve, so it becomes toxic and will behave like a drug, unlike sodium from natural foods which nourish the body and keep it young and supple.

Sodium has been called the “youth element”. Did you ever realise that (organic) sodium is needed to stay young ? Sodium is essential to keep calcium in solution for example, whereby it will prevent the calcium from depositing around or in the joints, or in the walls of your arteries for example. Without organic sodium life would not be possible.

Sodium chloride in table salt does not do any good in the body. Did you ever realize that when you feel irritable and short tempered, that this can be from excess of sodium? Or that constipation can be due to excess of sodium? Toxic effects may include:

Waterretention
Hypertension
Stomach ulcers
Stomach cancer
Heart disease
Strokes
Osteoporosis (excess salt leads to calcium deficiency)

It will be interesting to learn some of the signs of sodium deficiency. Did you know that dark circles under your eyes can be because of sodium deficiency for example (or potassium overdose, it is the balance which matters)? Dr Jenssen gives some as well, like weakness, gas and bloating, heart arrythmias, attention deficit, difficulty in concentration, to mention some.

Sapoty Brook gives an excellent overview of the symptoms of overdose or deficiency of sodium and other macro-minerals in his book Eco-Eating: A Guide to Balanced Eating for Health & Vitality. Because of copyright issues I think it is not fair to him to give you his list.

We bought his book some years ago, and this has been one of the few books which did not end up on our bookshelf, because we are using it all the time. Sapoty Brook explains how to use minerals to manipulate body and mind, and in practice we found that he has ALWAYS been right. Sometimes we forgot about the principles and wandered away, but we always came back, saying “of course…….” They work . I think the book is written to help raw foodists maintain their raw food life style on the long run, but it is equally interesting and useful for people who are not raw at all. Absolutely recommended.

High sodium foods are carrots, beets, celery, spinach, Swiss chard, watercress, dandelion greens, kale, etc. Remember what matters is the sodium/potassium ratio, not so much the absolute amounts.

How much sodium do we actually need? Generally on a plant food diet one would get 500-1000 mg of sodium, which is all the body needs. There is no need for any added salt on the table. And do not forget that we get a lot of inactive sodium in additives to our food (aromatics, preservatives, baking agents, rising agents etc etc) which do not even taste salty, that way we may get as much as 50 times the normal amounts from natural foods.

Americans on average use about 9-9.5 g daily. This contains at least 3600 mg sodium (insoluble and coated), while the body generally does not need more than 500 mg of natural food sodium.

Some people may argue that unrefined salts like Celtic salt and Himalayan salt are better. They are, at least the salt is not heated and not coated, but it is still extremely easy to overdose on sodium. Take Celtic salt for example, 0.3 metric teaspoon already gives you 500 mg of sodium, and that is on top of your other foods, so you can easily get too much.

I recommend not adding any salt, but if you have to, at least choose one of the unrefined salts or vegetable salts.
Salt numbs the taste buds. After you discontinue salt, it will take a few weeks to adjust, then you can enjoy the wonderful subtle tastes of natural foods again. And raw will taste better. Cooked foods need sweeteners or oils and salt to make it tasty, raw foods don’t need any extras, so increase your percentage of raw and break that addiction to salt!

Yours,
