This Natural Remedy Improved My Dental Health

Photo Source: Luiz Filipe

 Out of all the dozens of toothpaste alternatives I've tried, there's one simple, natural ingredient that seems to be improving my dental health, killing germs, and leaving my breath fresher than any Colgate you could ever dream up!

Who needs fluoride, right? Between the toxic fluoride that our government poisons our water systems and toothpastes with, there's really no need for any more of it, even if you are one of the people who buy into the stories of it preventing tooth decay. Not even the National Institute of Dental Research, a vehement fluoride-promoter, has been able to keep selling that story. Not after they conducted a study that found "no difference in the incidence of tooth decay between children living in fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas," although their report stated that the lowest tooth decay rates occurred in a nonfluoridated area.

Additionally, children living in areas with highly fluoridated water have "significantly lower IQ's" than their counterparts, says a study conducted by Harvard University. And that's just one of dozens of examples of the toxic effects of fluoride, but that's a topic for another day.

If you've been present at Healthy, Happy Wholesome for very long, you know that I became anti-fluoride about 3 years ago (I think.)

From there, I've tried everything from bar soap to peroxide to a blend of baking soda and peppermint to brush with -- each of which has been documented thoroughly here on HHW.

But all those nasty tasting little suckers didn't quite keep me from gagging every time the dreaded teeth-brushing time came around.

So, I was determined that there must be a safe and equally effective way to brush my chompers without having to resort to the tube of poison I used to use (that would be toothpaste, folks). After a couple of years of trying different things and not being able to tolerate much, I decided to take the chance and try replacing those with just one product that contains only three ingredients: botanical oils. I've discussed/reviewed the specific product I'm talking about in the past. You can find that post here.

I should probably stop here and disclaim the hell out of this post before I say what I'm about to say, but I'd prefer not to clog your reading up with an enormous disclaimer that tells you intelligent folks not to try anything your doctor doesn't recommend and that this most certainly is not advice (it isn't.) That the decision to use this is my doing and I take full responsibility for any risks or whatever that may come to myself, but only myself.

Peppermint by Detsugu

Moving on.

 I've been using this OraMD oil spray to replace toothpaste -- it's supposed to help with bleeding, swollen gums -- because after researching each ingredient (peppermint, spearmint, and almond oils), I felt hopeful that the information I found (which I will include below) could be useful for my dental health.

Dental Benefits of Peppermint, Almond, and Spearmint Oil 

• Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial. Proper cleansing properties was/is the most important thing for me so I can be sure I'm actually killing the bad stuff in my mouth that contributes to the decline of dental health in the first place. Taste can come in close second, but first and absolutely foremost is that the bad guys are eliminated so that I'm not just sacrificing harmful chemicals found in toothpaste with harmful bacteria found in the mouth. In fact, the folks who make OraMD say it has "interdental access" that's supposed to allow the ingredients to get in even the tiny spaces in between teeth to kill of bad bacteria.

•  Research has shown that peppermint essential oil is the "most effective" in killing anaerobic bacteria such as the bacteria that thrives in environments with low oxygen levels -- for instance, the kind of bacteria that causes gum disease.

•  The three ingredient are said to delay the process of gingivitis and reduce symptoms of gum disease, increases blood flow to gums, (for those of you struggling with these issues.)

• Spearmint oil helps promote both healing and soothing to soft tissue. It's also an anti-septic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral.

Since the mint oils also happen to leave my entire mouth feeling like its undergone a deep cleansing like your car does when you put it through the car wash, I simply couldn't ever bring myself to go back to any of those other anti-fluoride methods you read about. Like bar soap. Just ick!

So everyday for the last year, I've been giving myself a squirt of this in the mouth before brushing my teeth. On the days I take a break, I'll simply use peroxide. Alternating between the two seems to have greatly improved my root canal issues as well as the pain I'd been dealing with from my wisdom tooth (second one now!) that broke. I didn't see a dentist until about 4 months after the tooth initially broke. Lets just say I had horrifying experiences all the last times I went to a dentist (which I've also discussed on this very blog).

But the fantastic news is that when I did finally drag myself into the dentist's office -- shaking so hard I literally shook the entire dental chair as he was hands-deep in my mouth -- he was able to pull the sucker right away! No infection! The only things I'd been doing was oil pulling gently with some tea tree oil at night before bed and brushing with peroxide most days (to help with the pain) and using the OraMD on other days.

Apparently, it must have done my mouth a world of good because it's quite unheard of for a dentist (conventional anyways) to extract a tooth on the very first visit.

Curious, I even asked him how much infection there was. He said either very little that he could see or none! That's never happened to me before, and I'd even tried several rounds of antibiotics and keeping garlic cloves on a previous broken wisdom tooth (pictured below, after extraction of course) in the past and still couldn't cut away the infection very successfully.

My wisdom tooth -- first extraction ever. It was awful, huh?

So, I went ahead and assumed my natural measures were doing my mouth some good. I was still in complete shock when after the x-rays, he began sticking my mouth with a needle! I nearly panicked. Whoa! Why is he numbing my mouth? He isn't about to go trying to pull this thing on the very first visit?

Oh yes he was, and although I was unprepared, I'm so grateful to have left that office less than an hour later half in shock (gauze held to my cheek, no less) and half in elation for having it gone so quick without having to wait and make another dreadful trip for the extraction.

Anyways, that glorious story aside (the very overly-priced, glorious story, that is), I have something I feel is worthy of sharing... You know, other than how awesome it is to be free of the pain and suffering caused by a broken tooth!


I have continued using the same methods for my dental care -- tea tree oil pulling, OraMD, and peroxide. I toss in the occasional ozonated oil (like olive or castor) in the hopes that it will further improve my dental health.

I feel certain that things have improved in my mouth, although I have a ways to go with one tooth.

Just two days ago, I realized the large build-up of what I believe is calculus is actually falling out from between my teeth! A large chunk fell out the other night, leaving me with a brand new space between my lower to bottom teeth that hasn't been there in years! Yes, I believe the tea tree oil pulling and other techniques are actually removing this bizarre build-up from between my teeth and leaving them intact and safe! I will be documenting that, including a photo of the large chunk of build-up (TMI?) as soon as possible.

I would say things are beginning to look up, wouldn't you? What methods do you use for safely brushing your teeth everyday? Have you had any success with improving your dental health at all? I need a dose of hope here, guys!

Working My Way to Better Health With Bone Broth

Bone Broth for Better Health

*Excuse my goofy pictures. I was under the influence of extreme excitement over getting to try organic bone broth, so I resorted to selfies with the bone broth when it came in the mail.*

Bone broth is considered a super-food by many, like the Weston A. Price Foundation for instance, and for good reason. It's known for its immune-boosting properties. Good bone broth like Bone Broths Co.'s nutrient-dense, organic, grass-fed bone broth is even used to aid in recovery from illness, or the flu/colds. It helps strengthen and restore many of the body's important functions, like the immune system.

It just so happens that when Bone Broths Co. sent me their bone broth, I had been dealing with the pain of a broken wisdom tooth for months, so it was the perfect time to try it since bone broth is so amazing for dental (and overall) health.

I want to go ahead and interrupt for a minute to say that one of my main reasons for wanting to try bone broth was for my bone and dental health. At one point, while in excruciating pain, I had the idea to hold some of this bone broth in my mouth around my wisdom tooth to see if it couldn't give me some relief. I was pleasantly surprised that the extreme inflammation seemed to calm each time I did that. I also alternated between other home remedies and when I went to the dentist two days ago, he surprised the heck out of my by poking my mouth with three needles (anesthesia) and going straight to extracting the tooth! 

The reason that's a surprise is because the tooth was very broken, in one place, all the way to the gum and had been this way for around three months, so I expected to be sent home with a round fo antibiotics on my first visit and then asked to come back for the extraction. I've never heard of someone getting their tooth extracted the very same day! 

I assumed it must have been because I didn't have much infection in the area. I know it was infected after it broke because I was in so much pain.

For good measure, before he went to town jerking my tooth out, I asked if there was much infection. He said he really couldn't see much at all. So, I have come to the conclusion that all my home remedies I'd been using actually did keep the infection down!

I used a variety of different natural remedies to keep the pain and infection as low as possible, but I have to say, the bone broth and the tea tree oil (which is what I used to brush with since it helped with pain and worked wonders to relieve the infection) seemed to be the most helpful to me. In fact, in the week leading up to my dentist visit, the only things I was using was tea tree oil and bone broth!

I just wanted to jump in and share that interesting bit of information real quick before continuing.

Bone Broth is rich in trace minerals like calcium, phosphorous, silicon, sulphur, magnesium, and others.

The benefits of a good bone broth are so numerous that I probably couldn't name them all, but I've listed many below.

- Builds strong bones.

- Improves metabolism
 

- Promotes healthy muscles and connective tissue, making bone broth beneficial to those looking to build more muscle.

- Provides protection to digestive lining

- Provides fuel to cells in the small intestine
 

- Bone broth is said to help aid in detoxification of cells, liver, and "gut."

The main reason I became interested in adding a good, organic bone broth to my diet was due to what I'd read from Weston A. Price's work and other health experts. 

Since I've been working diligently at improving my dental and bone health -- and hopefully even remineralizing some of my teeth --  I finally decided it was time to really go all out and add the beloved bone broth into my diet.

I'd already adopted most of the other important things for proper dental health anyways -- such as quitting all toothpaste and only using natural stuff like essential oils.

I've been dealing with a broken wisdom tooth for months and the problems have been severe. So what better time to begin the bone broth, right? I was given the opportunity to collaborate with a reputable bone broth company -- Bone Broths Co. at just the perfect time when my teeth needed it the most.

Note: I'm not saying that consuming bone broth will cause my severely broken wisdom tooth to somehow heal magically. This is one case where I believe I'll have to have the tooth extracted, but in the meantime, I'm excited to begin adding the mineral and nutrient-rich broth to my diet to help improve my dental health (and overall health) as a whole.

Health Problems That Benefit From Bone Broth:

 - Arthritis and pain associated with osteo/arthritis

*Bone broth contains gelatin, which is super important as it's said to be used to treat many diseases, even cancer. It is used as medical treatment in ancient China. 

Gelatin is not only important for joint and cartilage health, but it's also great for digestion and has even been used to help people heal from digestive problems like "leaky gut syndrome," crohn's, ulcerative colitis, and IBS (something I've battled with on and off for years.) It also helps with candidiasis as bone broth promotes the growth of "good" bacteria which in turn can fight off the bad, like candida albicans.

- Food allergies

-  Bone broth helps fight colds, flu, and malnutrition.

- Skin health

Many say that because of the collagen in bone broth, drinking it regularly will reduce cellulite and wrinkles.

3 Important Things to Look For Before Buying Bone Broth:

 
As with anything consumable these days, it's important to make sure the bone broth you consume is free of harmful items that are often found in many store-bought broths.

Make sure the bone broth you use is:
1. From grass-fed animals
2. Free of MSG (a neurotoxin found in most shelved stocks/broths)
3. Free of artificial growth hormones and antibiotics
From what I have read, these are the three basic things to look for if you plan to buy your bone broth.

Product Specs:

- 2 Servings per box

- Does not require refrigeration until box is opened

- Contains only 100% Organic vegetables, sea salt, herbs and grass-fed bones. No fillers, additives, artificial flavors.

- Bone Broth Co.'s broth does gel

Back label of Bone Broth Co. package

*The back of the label reads: "We combine modern day packaging technology with the old fashioned way of cooking bone broth to bring you a delicious and healthy shelf-stable beef bone broth. Every batch of our beef bone broth is made with bones from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle without antibiotics or added hormones. We also use garden vegetables, sea salt, and spices. Our broth is cooked at a slow simmer to extract all the flavor and nutrients..."

Ways To Consume Bone Broth

Above is a quick chili "dip" + crackers. The chili "dip" is basically venison chili (made with bone broth) and shredded cheese, sour cream, garlic, and onions, and I believe a few other flavorful things that I currently cannot recall at this late hour. Clearly I also couldn't be bothered with any decent dishes at the late hour when the snack was made either. Hey, paper plates really can be a life-saver even if they are ugly. 

As someone new to broths, I can't say the flavor of the straight broth in a cup was delicious to me, but it certainly wasn't intolerable.  I had no trouble allowing the broth to sit in my mouth for several seconds. I did this for my teeth, especially since my broken wisdom tooth was giving me severe pain and the gums and teeth around the broken tooth were extremely inflamed. 

Bone Broth can be used in a huge variety of dishes, but many people love drinking it as a warm beverage! I was surprised to learn this last winter, but I've read/heard/saw dozens of folks say they love drinking bone broth. In fact, there was a drive-thru place open somewhere in New York I think where you could get a warm cup of bone broth.

For those who aren't fond of drinking their bone broth, I've came across loads of different recipes that you can use it in. 

Most people use bone broth in their soups, stews, and slow-cooker (crock-pot) dishes. I've seen pasta recipes like spaghetti that use bone broth as well. 

As I've noted, bone broth is versatile in that it can be used in numerous dishes like stew and even spaghetti, but you can also include it in your sauces. The beef broth I'm using from Bone Broths Co. has so far went splendidly in every dish I've tried it with so far, including spaghetti.

Since I'm very new to bone broth, I've not had the chance to try it very many different recipes, so I'm just discovering the possibilities at the moment.

So far, I've found it enjoyable in vegetable soup (my favorite soup) and even in my mom's chicken chili! Chicken chili is basically a creamier kind of chili in my opinion. It's a blend of chili powder, beans, vegetables, and chicken instead of beef. My mom always includes herbs like parsley, basil, oregano, a variety of beans, sour cream, and of course cheese! That's exactly how I love it. 

We tried using the bone broth in chicken chili and it was absolutely perfect. I thought it added more flavor rather than a watery, blandness it often has.

I could even imagine this bone broth being tasty in chicken noodle soup, for those of you who like the stuff.

Organic Perfect 3 Grass Blend Review

Perfect 3 Grass Blend is a blend of powdered wheatgrass, barley grass and oatgrass in powder form. It's organic and fermented. Perfect 3 Grass Blend comes from Perfect Supplements. Perfect Supplements has a variety of similar products, all organic and very health-beneficial. 

As someone who's tried a few different types of wheatgrass and one brand of barley grass, I have found my preference when it comes to a wheatgrass product & I am happy to say, there's nothing like the Perfect 3 Grass Blend. One reason I love it is because, unlike other wheatgrasses and barley grasses, you have three different grasses in one tub, so it's like triple the health benefits. Although there's plenty to love about Perfect Supplements' wheatgrass, barley grass and oat grass blend -- all of which I'll be sure to include in this post -- I also love that it's USDA Certified Organic. It's also fermented (this is great for the digestive system), which is something I've never encountered with a wheatgrass/barley grass/oat grass supplement before. Another great thing is it's gluten-free and vegan!

Perfect Supplements' Perfect 3 Grass Blend is unique in comparison to any I've ever tried & I feel it's far more effective for my health needs than anything else.

Above is a photo of the tub of Perfect 3 Grass Blend. As you see, it comes in a nice little tub with a twist-on lid. It also comes with a little scooper inside! I loved that because it really makes it more convenient & it's easier to just add a scoop (or two, depending on how much you're using) to your drink without having to measure out. 

  Also, if I'm travelling, although the tub isn't tiny, I can fit the entire thing in my bag & just grab it, open the lid and add a scoop into my drink on the go. 

  The tub contains 180 grams of the Perfect 3 Grass Blend. 

I've taken photos to show the Perfect 3 Grass Blend powder. It's very fine. In fact, it's the finest wheatgrass or barley grass powder I have ever used. Being so fine, it dissolves easily in your drink.

As recommended on the jar, you take 1-2 scoops of the Perfect Three Grass Blend daily to juice, water or a smoothie or other beverage. 

I personally like it cold! I get a bottle of filtered, cold water & add a scoop, then shake the bottle well. It's usually dissolved and mixed in quickly.

I also like to add a scoop to a smoothie or milkshake. I find that it's really filling and tastier that way. It gives a nice, clean & fresh taste to a milkshake or smoothie. I think it could also be added to yogurt, which would also probably go down easily. I've even heard of people adding it to their cereal. 

A lot of times, I will get just less than half a scoop & dump it into my mouth -- just the Perfect 3 Blend powder straight, not mixed into anything. I actually started doing this for my teeth -- because I had a toothache & dental issues & since it's so good for both relieving tooth pain and dental health, one day I decided to hold the wheatgrass powder in my mouth. Now, I do that pretty often using the Perfect 3 Grass Blend. I did it in the past with other wheatgrass, but found it very hard to handle. I  either developed more of a tolerance to it or something changed because it's almost a daily habit for me to just put it straight into my mouth. I will leave it in there to mix with my saliva for a minute, then swallow with something to drink. 

Surprisingly, it actually goes down really well. You could even dump a little on the middle of your tongue, then swallow with a drink just like you would with a BC or Goody's powder. 

I once read that swishing the wheatgrass juice around in your mouth for 30 seconds before swallowing was supposed to be good because of the enzymes in your saliva or something. So this is one reason I like to do that. 

Also, I love the totally clean feeling left over in my mouth after holding in the Perfect 3 Grass Blend! Seriously. You would think it'd leave a nasty taste or something, but it actually leaves my tongue feeling deeply cleaned. Plus, it's amazing for bad breath! Coffee tongue? Hold in some Perfect 3 Grass Blend & follow with some water & your breath is good to go.

Taste

As can be expected, the Perfect Three Grass Blend does taste a lot like wheatgrass, if you've ever had it. I find that Barley grass taste almost identical to wheatgrass, but the Perfect 3 Blend, as I've said, is a combination of barley, wheat grass and oat grass. 

I'll admit, my first response when I tried the Perfect 3 Grass Blend was "it smells & tastes like a freshly mowed lawn." Yum. I happened to love the smell of a freshly mowed lawn. But all wheatgrass juices taste like a freshly mowed lawn. Your breath, however, won't smell like grass. As I said, it leaves your breath smelling fresh. It's a great remedy for bad breath.

Some people say it's an acquired taste. I tend to think most people can easily get used to the taste of wheatgrass to the point of enjoying it & even looking forward to a wheatgrass juice made with the powder. Just like black coffee. After a while of drinking coffee, most people tend to enjoy the taste and look forward to a cup. The same thing happened to me with the Perfect Three Blend. I look forward to drinking it everyday. I like how it makes me feel & the health benefits and eventually, the process of drinking it just became enjoyable.

As for those who aren't really into the taste yet or just can't enjoy it, mixing it into something else like a thick drink -- smoothies, milkshakes, etc. should do the trick.

I've done some experimenting and found that the taste does seem to be masked somewhat by a strong tea.

You can also experiment with adding it to foods, so I hear. I've seen a wheatgrass+guacamole recipe online that sounds pretty tasty!  There are also loads of different smoothie recipes online for wheatgrass & the Perfect Three Grass Blend can be used in the same way you would with those wheatgrass smoothie recipes.

I've seen where you can even add it into energy bars and salads as well. 

And yet another interesting thing I've yet to try, but want to -- cranberry juice + wheatgrass. It's supposed to be a great detox drink. I think you just add in the Perfect 3 Grass Blend to cranberry juice & you're good to go. Just be sure the cranberry juice you're using isn't loaded down with sugars and junk.

*If any of you happen to be interested in more detailed recipes for foods/drinks with Perfect Three Grass Blend, do let me know & I will do a whole post on that!*

It's helpful for IBS as well, which is something I have struggled to keep away since I recovered from my severe case of it. 

*More about my personal experience with wheatgrasses & Perfect Supplements*

I've talked about using wheatgrass in the past. I've used many different brands and had a huge variety of effects, but I can honestly say, none has affected me just the way this Perfect 3 Blend has, and I was shocked at how quickly I seen results -- I'll describe what results in a moment.

What got me interested in wheatgrass in the first place was to help the severe IBS and endometriosis I was suffering from a couple years ago. It tried some wheatgrass tablets first & was taking them just as the bottle directed & began to experience negative stuff. This can happen when your body is toxic. When it detoxes, things happen. This is why it's okay to take it slow and start off with a small amount, then work your way up. However, unless you have a very toxic body, I don't think you would experience icky effects from Perfect 3 Grass Blend.

After taking those tablets I mentioned trying a while back, I didn't feel anything different. No energy or decreased symptoms/pain. No change in my foggy headedness, dizziness, migraines, bloating, cramps or anything. Nothing changed at all, even months after continuing with those tablets. I gave up. Then tried other tablets with similar results -- nearly nothing! Gave up again, only to go and try a different brand that was powder, like the Perfect 3 Blend that you drink. Then tried 2 more brands. I didn't experience any great healing.

Now, a few years after my first wheatgrass experiences, I've also made big changes to my "lifestyle choices." I try to drink around 3 cups of water daily, I eat healthier, although I eat little and really have an extremely hard time getting enough of the needed vitamins and minerals. So this is why I feel so intensely about this Perfect 3 Blend -- it gives me all these things that I don't get enough of in my day.

Although I try to eat a lot of greens throughout the week -- spinach, green peppers, potatoes, lettuce, black olives, cucumbers, etc. Those are the ones I eat most. They're beneficial, but don't give me everything I need. I also don't get enough fruits either.

On days when I know I've not eaten enough of what my body needs, I'll have extra Perfect Three Grass Blend. I love that it has taken a lot of stress off me about trying to get every single mineral, vitamin and nutrient I need. It can be really hard to get everything needed & to be honest, it gets expensive trying to eat healthy and avoid the stupid pesticides, chemicals and other crap that ruin what we need in the foods we get.

Some reasons I am using Perfect 3 Grass Blend

So that is a main reason I'm trying to keep using the Perfect 3 Grass Blend on a daily basis. Other reasons include prevention (of disease, common ailments like flu, colds and other illness as well as free radicals and all that stuff that can cause us future health problems.) Detoxification is another big reason. I've talked a lot  on my blog about my own health battles -- the IBS, endometriosis, vaccines and dental issues -- and I've been diligent in sharing everything with you guys. Vaccines and just everyday foods and such put toxins and heavy metals and crap into our bodies that cause serious problems on a daily basis as well as serious health problems for our future. I desperately needed to get all that out of my body. Almost a full year of antibiotics, vaccines that were literally pushed on me by my doctor, vaccines that have been causing me real bad problems recently & are very harmful (Gardasil, to be exact) and the dental stuff all combined with the daily crud. Those had to go in order for me to get my health back on track. I had to start "detoxing" it. I could tell I was in toxic overload! Especially with all the symptoms I was having. 

I started using the Perfect 3 Grass Blend about 2 or more weeks ago. I can't be exact, but it was maybe 3 weeks at the most. I started with one scoop daily & have worked my way up to 2 scoops (sometimes more) daily. Never have I had a single negative side effect from the Perfect 3 Grass Blend. Other wheatgrass products I've used have seemed to give me headaches, stomach upset, etc. I've experienced nothing of the sort with the Perfect 3.

I did start experiencing a change in my digestive system stuff. You guys know I started taking aloe vera internally (straight from my plant) for the endometriosis and IBS. I don't do it daily, but on a more as-needed basis like when I notice the IBS "coming back" due to certain foods, exposure to crud, etc. I started having the intense crams associated with both IBS and endometriosis again a few months ago as well as a lot of other symptoms associated with IBS as well as the vaccines I got. 

I haven't had any of the regular stomach problems in over a week, the cramps aren't happening & I feel what they call a "sense of well-being." I wake up energetic and ready to get things done. It's amazing, really. And I started noticing these effects not 2 weeks into taking the Perfect 3 Grass Blend. At first, I noticed a little extra energy upon waking, less migraines upon waking and better sleeping, which I don't know if it's a benefit from the Perfect 3 or not. I have been doing twice as much activity as I had been & I actually feel totally fine. I actually feel like doing strenous activity and doing work that requires me to put some muscle into it without getting beat. I'd never experienced this stuff when I was using the wheatgrass supplements I talked about. I think part of it is due to the Perfect 3 Blend containing all three and not just one.

Something else I've noticed -- a slight decrease in cravings. I love my sweets and can sometimes get into those moods once a month where I just keep wanting to eat all kinds of stuff. I don't know if I'm just not in that "mood" the past few weeks or if the Perfect 3 has actually somewhat knocked out all those crazy cravings, but I like it! I don't like feeling desperate for chocolate. Sweets are nice & I won't turn down my peanut butter or white chocoloate chip macadamia nut cookies, but it's nice not to feel like I must have something sweet. I hope this is an effect of the Perfect 3 Grass Blend because I would love to continue feeling this way, not desperately craving sweets. I do want sweets, but it's not near as intense as it was.

As I said, I have been really shocked at how noticeable these results are for me. I've not had this happen before, so I didn't expect to notice anything big, especially this soon. I figured maybe I'd feel a little better energy wise and be less loaded down with toxins after a month, but I didn't expect to feel good all over.

Oh, and I can't forget the teeth! I have a root canal that my dentist didn't cap & three teeth he temporarily filled over a year ago &  they do often cause me some pain. Remember my posts about when I quit using toothpaste & made all those changes & stuff? Well, I do still feel some discomfort in those teeth, so a week ago, it flared up and was giving me some minor problems & I took some of the Perfect 3 Grass Blend, held it in my mouth on the tooth twice that day & have been great ever since! 

That reminds me, I also oil-pull using sunflower oil & on an oil-pulling forum I read often, someone said they used wheatgrass with a small amount of water similar as you would with oil-pulling. They just swished it in their mouth everyday and said it made huge differences for their teeth & even for cavities! I have read so much about people saying their cavities are better or even gone from using wheatgrass. This is something I also hope to accomplish -- better dental health. 

Besides the Perfect 3 Grass Blend, I have been working to make sure I drink plenty of water, I've added some seabuckthorn oil into my diet  & am also incorporating some MSM into my diet for a little while -- to help further detox, especially due to the vaccine I recently had. I think it will work wonderfully while using the Perfect 3 Blend together to give me even better results, extra detox & better sleep. 

I know this is really lengthy, but you guys know me. When I get excited about something, I get carried away & I like to include everything I can about something I love & I didn't want to leave out any detail on this one! Even still, I know I've not included every single health benefit there is to be had with the Perfect 3 Grass Blend. I am sure there will be more benefits to come as I keep using the Perfect 3 Blend, so if you guys are interested, I'll do updates as I continue. If you have questions, I'm happy to try and answer them, as always & I love hearing from ya'll too!

UPDATE:

This isn't a huge update, but I just found out something pretty darn interesting and couldn't resist. Be forewarned though, this could gross you out! I have been good and refrained from being too gross on my blog. I've talked about private parts and irritable bowels, but I have always stopped there. I've never gone so far as to really talk about poop & I never thought I'd see this day, but guys. I have to talk about it. I know, it's disgusting & I'm gross. 

I just wanted to say, though, that due to the chlorophyll content in this magnificent 3 Grass Blend,  you very well could notice that your... waste... is suddenly very green! I say this because, um.. well,... um.. My, uh, my friend. She had been using the Perfect 3 Grass Blend and just a while ago, noticed that her poop is very bright green. Not an icky green, either. A bright, bright green! It's pretty interesting, actually. But when my uh, friend told me this, I had to come make an update here. So, if you happen to try the Perfect 3 Blend and notice green in the toilet bowl, don't freak. It's due to the chlorophyll content. There are other reasons for green colored stuff ("stuff is a nicer word than poop, so we'll call it that) such as iron or due to your "stuff" passing quickly through the intestines or something. 

It's been two days since I published this review (I published it on the 18th, so today is the 20th) and my uh, friend didn't notice any changes in her... stuff until tonight. It could be because she upped her intake of the Perfect 3 Blend last night to about 1-1/2 more scoops than she'd been taking. No big deal and no other changes besides the color in the ... stuff. Just thought I'd share that! It was strange because I'd never heard of wheatgrass or oatgrass or barley grass causing your stuff to turn green, so it was surprising. I've also taken other wheat grass and barley grass supplements in the past (I mentioned this earlier in this post) and never noticed any green stuff myself.
