Happy New Year everyone! Or maybe I should say, “Happy Now Here” as someone said. The key is to focus on the present moment, not what will happen next year. So I'd like to share the health discoveries that have guided me this new year.
About two weeks ago, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. I actually went to school for dental hygiene, and some of my graduates were working there. She said something I had never heard before, that I had mild periodontal disease. Basically, I have receding gums around some of my teeth. I'm not sensitive to heat or cold, my gums bleed, etc., but it doesn't bother me, but the thought makes me anxious and down the rabbit hole of researching how to better care for my teeth and gums. I let it fall deep inside. .
Down this rabbit hole I discovered Dr. Ellie Phillipsis a dentist who has been practicing for 50 years and recommends a completely different system for optimal oral health.

And I learned that with a little diligence in using certain toothbrushes, toothpastes, and mouthwashes, you can neutralize bad bacteria in your mouth and encourage good bacteria to thrive.
I decided to follow her complete oral care system Continue for 6 months and see the results. The hour-long video I linked earlier explains which products to use (all groceries) and what follows. This article will give you a quick overview of what she stands for and her system. free booklet. But watch some of her videos and understand where she's coming from.
Literally, she is from the UK who has experienced oral health horror.

In Europe, it is famous for neutralizing the acidity in the mouth, which is a breeding ground for the growth of bad bacteria. the xylitol, Yes, it's sugar, but I've proven that things that don't act like sugar don't raise blood sugar levels. Dr. Ellie's brief explanation. video About xylitol. My Dutch husband told me that his Finnish best friend grew up eating xylitol mints and chewing gum. It is part of medical care in Finland and Scandinavian countries.
Like many of us, Dr. Phillips is a health advocate, pushing back against conventional norms and advice in an industry built to thrive on repair, not prevention. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this experiment turns out. If you want to maintain your oral health, please give it a try.
A note about xylitol from Dr. Phillips“…Xylitol, a sugar alcohol, is generally considered safe, but in excess it can cause gas, bloating, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems in some people. It's important to introduce it gradually (if you're concerned about it) and monitor your body's reaction. But she also says that when consumed in moderation, xylitol can actually be beneficial to your gut health, as it feeds the digestive system with good bacteria. You can also use xylitol crystals here.
