A woman needed major help after she used a denture adhesive to keep in her lower dentures. What a mess her gums where, it was excruciating for her to talk or swallow. I felt so bad for her. They looked swollen, raw and burnt.
Although I didn’t find what to do for her gums online, I found an article on how long term or excessive use of these creams can cause a host of problems.
Most denture adhesives are high in zinc. This minerals can rob copper out of the body, leading to neurological problems, cognitive decline (senility), even been associated with urinary incontinence.
We are just being bombarded with chemicals. So other than spit our teeth across the room when we talk, what do we do?
Getting new dentures when your gums shrink might be expensive, but probably is best.
Second best are liners, and then natural vegetable adhesives which are so much safer than their chemical counterparts.
Preserving your teeth and trying to keep them is THE best suggestion. We have a tooth paste which helps protect the tooth and gums. To make your own toothpaste, go to à http://marysherbs.com/ToothPaste.shtml
The results reported are quite remarkable.
No wonder so many people are becoming sensitive to their environment. All the chemicals we are exposed to combine to make new compounds. Even a slight mixture can be significant.
There is a product called EnviroDetox, helps encourage the body to throw off these chemicals which can be helpful. But I believe avoid as much as you can.

Food Additives
I wonder if these and like ingredients is why so many people are suffering with disease such as arthritis and cancer!
Once my mother was eating walnut ice cream, and I was telling her about how some ice cream contains antifreeze. When I checked the ingredients I was shocked! There were NO walnuts listed… but it contained walnut chunks… or did it? Please read on.
Ingredients of many COMMERCIAL ICE CREAMS:
· Dietheyl Glycol: Used instead of eggs… it is an antifreeze and paint remover
· Ethyl Acetate: Used in place of pineapple… it is a cleaner for leather and textiles
· Piperonal: Used in place of vanilla…it is a lice killer
· Amyl Acetate: Used for banana flavor… an oil paint solvent
· Benzyl Acetate: Used for strawberry flavor… a solvent.
And the source of my mother’s walnuts… Butyraldehyde: Used instead of nuts, it is one of the ingredients of rubber cement.
There are over 3,000 additives that are used in the manufacture of the food we eat. Some estimates of individual consumption are as high as five pounds of chemicals per year!
The department of Consumer Affairs receives many letters and calls from consumers who are concerned about these additives. Even experts cannot agree on the safety of or necessity of all these chemicals.
It is my solemn belief that all chemicals are unnatural and the less we consume the better.

OCD and Anxiety
Obsessions, compulsions and anxiety are NOT mental illnesses, nor are they a bad habit, nor due to a weak character...they are biological! OCD is something which has a physical origin and something that can be reversed.
Unless you've lived it, a person can not imagine how Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and/or Generalized Anxiety Disorder makes you a slave to what you feel and think. It rips your life to shreds.
With proper nutrition and supplementation, I believe with all I am, that you can eradicate them from your life.
On http://www.OCD-Free.org there are 3 questionnaires called thin myelin, liver assessment and adrenal stress assessment which can be a valuable tool in developing a natural health plan to over come OCD and GAD

Tailbone Pain aka Coccygodynia
A woman can with her 59 yr old brother to a consultation with his sister. His insisted on coming to make sure that the wool wasn’t pulled over her eyes by me, the herbalist which he was sure was a quack. When he got up he released a low deep groan.
He said he had Pain in his tailbone. His symptoms? Pain while he was sitting and immediately upon rising, but if he walked around for a while the pain seemed to lessen. He said it felt like the tailbone was bruised.
The pain in the tailbone often follows a fall or a delivery a large baby. His did not. So I suggested he might be lacking trace minerals which can produce such a discomfort in the tailbone. “NO.. my doctor says it is caused by an extra bone that I was born with in my tailbone” he practically shouted.
It had hurt for about 3 years… he also revealed that it hadn’t hurt him before that. Sarcastically I said, so why didn’t it hurt for 59 years?
He agreed to take colloidal mineral to PROVE I was wrong, 1 oz in the AM and 1 oz in the PM for 2 months. I didn’t hear from him for about 1 year, until he called up to make an appointment to help his mother’s osteoporosis. Yep, the minerals alleviated ALL of his tailbone pain and he avoided the operation the doctors said was necessary to get him pain free.
If you have tail bone pain, I hope you at least try the colloidal minerals BEFORE you let a doctor hack into you. To get high quality Nature’s Sunshine Colloidal Minerals at wholesale prices goto: http://www.naturesherbs.biz/product/4013-6

Cruciferous Vegetables Do they weaken a hypothyroid?
A budding health advocate wrote… Some say that cruciferous vegetables are good for hypothyroidism and some strictly restrict consume these vegetables. I am confused.what is the exact answer.
My answer?....It depends.... I have a suggestion which may help you. I would avoid all cruciferous vegetables for 2 weeks while taking your temperature every morning before you arise in the morning and keeping a record of it. Then add cruciferous vegetables for 2 weeks in heavy duty amounts, taking your temperature again every morning. Then compare the two. If your temperatures went down at all, it indicates the vegetables were causing a strain on your thyroid. I believe is the best indicator.

Communicating with Compassion
Are you really listening to others?. Well, we need to more than listen, we need to hear what a person says as well as what they don’t say,,, We need to be able to feel where they are coming from.
Today the 18th of March, there is a course that will be taught at 2 pm EST called Communicating with Compassion which is taught by a gentle man named Uzi. This post is to give you a taste of what he covers to entice you to learn more.
Uzi will probably start the course by saying “what everyone really wants is to be Heard, Understood and Acknowledged”… Easy right? If you think so, try it some time. I have… I then realized how desperately I needed the class.
Because of Uzi, I am learning not to jump on a conversation to quickly so I can help give advice and fix things. Notice the first three things say nothing about advice.
For me the most valuable lesson was to listen without thinking of what you can say to respond. Not easy for a mega-mouth like myself. I thought compassion was helping… Sometimes it is merely listening and being there for someone. I believe you will love this class and benefit from it.
Uzi is right, people need to be truly heard, understood and acknowledge, something that they rarely get from a medical doctor, but, we here at Healthy Chatter. Com want to be communicate with compassion and help others learn to as well..
To join the class, on the 18th at 2 pm EST, go to our calendar of events and click on the class for Uzi’s email. http://www.marysherbs.com/GOTOMEETINGS/UpcomingEducation.shtml
This course could also be taken by anyone, it would be helpful information in communicating with a friend, parent or child.
The first 2 classes are free for everyone. But for me.. I decided to go on… I needed it… and who knows I might even learn to listen to my husband someday. :o)

Ultrasounds are not safe!!!
A wonder friend of mine name David sent me a link to an article.
The article started out by saying.. COMING TO AMERICA SOON!!! Since it was in a health news type bulletin, I thought it was going to talk about the cure for cancer or hemorrhoids or something that will ease suffering. But it wasn't...... It was talking about a new product called ultrashape which they are trying to get FDA approved to use in the United States.
Ultrashape machine is using ultrasound to destroy fat cells so the body can rid itself of unwanted cellulite. Sound interesting? It sure did to me, I was thinking of buying a home version and keep it on my stomach all night long. :o) But then I thought what would it do to the Myelin Sheathing (protective fatty coating around the nervous system).
As I thought about it, I realized it substantiated what I have warned women about for the lat 15 years.… If ultrasound can break up fat in the tissue of your thighs, what is ultrasound that is pointed towards an infant’s brain and nervous system doing to it. After all 70% of a human's nervous system and brain is made of fatty acids and cholesterol.
It is easy to see the potential for destruction of mere sound if you think about an opera singer hitting a high note which can shatter glass. And the fact that doctors use ultrasound to destroy gall and kidney stones, even tough to break calcium stones.
I dare to say if a doctor has a fetal stethoscope it is covered with dust and cobwebs. Almost ALL doctors use a Doppler to listen to a baby's heart beat. An article I read said that the Doppler does just as much as if not more damage to the nervous system as an ultra sound..
I wonder if this machine is made available in the US, if mothers will question more the use of them on their fetus.

Doesn’t it make you wonder… If ultrasound can break up fat in the tissue of your thighs, what is ultrasound that is pointed towards an infant’s brain and nervous system doing to it. After all 70% of a human's nervous system and brain is made of fatty acids and cholesterol.
If an opera singer hitting a high note can shatter glass. And the fact that doctors use ultrasound to destroy gall and kidney stones, even tough to break calcium stones. The potential for damage is there.
Most doctors probably don’t know where their fetal stethoscope is stored. Almost ALL doctors use a Doppler to listen to a baby's heart beat. An article I read said that the Doppler does more damage to the nervous system as an ultra sound.
