I updated the “Breath through your nose and breathe fully.” section of "What Everyone Should Be Doing For Their Health" with this:

To facilitate this, your tongue should rest at the top of your mouth whenever you are not speaking, eating, or swallowing. The tip should rest in the spot it touches when you say the letter “n.” The entire rest of your tongue should be pressed to the roof of your mouth as far back as your upper palate stretches.

When you exert yourself, expand your tongue with pressure into the roof of your mouth as your diaphragm descends downward to expand your breath. Think of your tongue as your “upper diaphragm” with it facilitating the upper portion of the vertical expansion of your breathing space.

Proper tongue position allows your upper palate to respond by maintaining proper width and shape, which automatically helps prevent your bottom teeth from being crowded and allows your nasal passages and Eustachian tubes to maintain their width to allow the free flow of air and pressure.

Since esoteric cavity cures have entered the zeitgeist once again, it's time to take you to school.

Gather round, and let's talk about what remineralization is, and what it isn't.

This all started from a concerned mother asking for the underground railroad of cavity cures that *isn't* nano-hydroxyapatite.

First, I'm going to take a little credit for helping nHA graduate from what used to be esoteric deep tracks into the billboard top 20. I guess the goalposts for esoteric wisdom continue to widen, because a few years ago nHA was almost too esoteric.

I digress...if you go into that post, she has HUNDREDS of comments and every single one of them is either bad advice, outright lying, or complete and utter stupidity.

Recommendations range from brushing with raw milk, to vitamin supplementation, to idiotic lectures about how osteoblasts (cells involved in bone, unrelated to teeth) help rebuild enamel.

Every single layman recommendation (including those that promote my own brand, @nobsroutines) is wrong.

Remineralization is not magic. It is the process of minerals depositing back into enamel.

It's happening right now. Your saliva is chock full of minerals that are providing nutrients to your enamel.

Enamel isn't nourished by the blood. If you cut your arm, blood rushes to the site delivering platelets to clot, and healing factors. Enamel isn't afforded that luxury. Dentin, the inner layer is nourished by blood (more specifically, the pulp), but not the outer layer.

The problem is, saliva can't keep up with the modern environment. That's why we've leaned on fluoride to quite literally fortify our enamel against the maladies of modern life.

We love acid (lemon water, kombucha, balsamic vinaigrette, tomato sauce, etc). Acid doesn't like our teeth. It dissolves the calcium and phosphate out of our enamel, typically at a pace that is no match for the healing abilities of saliva.

So yes, when pixie mothers ask for "secret remedies" it's insulting to you as a sentient being, to me as a practitioner, and to your own biology.

Now, let's get back to where cavities come into all this. A cavity earns its title once it' breaks through your enamel into the second layer of your tooth.

Before that point, you can absolutely reverse it. Whether that's through fluoride (gasp!), nano hydroxyapatite, theobromine, xylitol, or whatever compound you have a preference for. You can even stimulate your own saliva for a similar protection.

The essence of NOBS, my company (yes, I am biased) is that I turned this combination into a blend that I feel can help people put up a fight against modern living without the use of fluoride. You can debate that all you want. I think I've earned my stripes both with research that's publicly available, and with years in the marketplace and good will.

That doesn't mean you cannot do it without me, or without NOBS. You can, and you should.

Vitamins matter. Diet matters. Habits matter. Breathing matters.

Cavities are a metabolic issue, and a bacterial issue.

You need to control your biofilm (fancy term for bacteria that inhabit your mouth) away from a pathogenic state, to a more commensal state. We do that through hygiene. Brushing and flossing mechanically disrupts the biofilm.

You also need to nourish your body so that your saliva isn't sterile. Without proper vitamins and minerals, your saliva cannot protect your enamel the way it needs to. This is the essence of Weston Price's work that everyone loves to "introduce" me to.

Finally, you need to be diligent about who you trust your dental treatment with. It's a bloodbath out there with private equity, and shady dentists. Many times they will not tell you about reversing initial cavities, they don't care to talk to you about your diet and habits.

You know what's worse than a shady PE dentist?

A trad mother that tells you giving her husband oysters and swishing with raw milk reverses cavities. Or listing some product (my own included!) that regrew a tooth. Or posting images of people pre/post dental work and giving credit to some heavy metal-laden tooth powder online (this happens).

I take this so personally because if I just wanted money, I'd be doing other things.

I'm on a mission, and quite frankly...talking like this hurts my mission. It upsets me. So please stop doing it.

Oral health needs reputation rehabilitation: the providers and the patients need education.

It's not all bleak though, we're making progress. There's a huge movement happening, and I'm privileged to be a part of it.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, carry on.

“There is nothing better than memories, and there is nothing worse than them.”

- Anton Chekhov

Memory, nostalgia, and the passing of time are recurring themes throughout Chekhov’s work.

His characters often reflect on past relationships, lost opportunities, and happier moments. These memories bring them comfort, but they also create sadness because the past cannot be experienced again.

This theme is especially noticeable in The Cherry Orchard, Chekhov’s final play, which was first performed in 1904. The story follows a family returning to an estate filled with memories while facing the possibility of losing it. The cherry orchard represents childhood, nostalgia, and a way of life that is slowly disappearing.

This captures the complicated nature of memories: the moments we value most can also become the most painful to remember because they remind us of people, places, and experiences we can never fully return to.

The single LARGEST vaccine–dementia study ever conducted (n=13.3 MILLION) found adult vaccines (flu, pneumococcal, shingles, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) increase risk of ALZHEIMER’S (+50%) and DEMENTIA (+38%) for a FULL DECADE.

The MORE doses, the HIGHER your dementia risk.

Lyme disease did not exist before 1978. There are now over 300 species of bacteria that cause it, all spirochetes, all variations of Borrelia, named after Dr. Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered it. Dr. Burgdorfer's job for the United States military was placing bacteria inside ticks to deploy against enemy forces.

The first cases of Lyme disease appeared in Lyme, Connecticut, a town sitting just off the coast from Plum Island and Lab 257. None of this is classified information. There are books written about it. The dots aren't hard to connect.

Acute cases, that are caught within the first ten days, and treated with antibiotics are mostly manageable. But the chronic presentation, the one that devastates lives for years, is still not fully recognized by the establishment -- the same one that created the conditions for this disease to exist in the first place.

One in every twenty to thirty mosquitoes in Florida carries Borrelia. When you actually know how to test for it and start looking, the number of people walking around sick with this is something.

Are they saying there’s at least 3 peoples DNA???

So they don’t have a ballistics match

They don’t have a footage of the shot

And they have -at least- a second suspects DNA ???

Throw out the case.

My aunt paid off her house in 2011.

Threw a party. Cried happy tears. Said she finally owned something in this world.

Property taxes were $3,200 a year back then.
Today they’re $9,800.

HOA went from $180 a month to $440.

Homeowners insurance doubled after the storms in her area.

She’s 71 on a fixed income writing three checks every month on a house she already paid for.

She told me last week she’s thinking about selling.

The house she spent 30 years paying off.

The house she cried over.

Because she can’t afford to stay in something she owns.

You never really own it.

You just run out of people to pay and find new ones.

Marjorie Taylor Greene confirms the FDA blocks treatments that work to protect the profits of the pharmaceutical companies

She says FDA scientists are getting paid royalties on medications, so they block treatments that can hurt their own profits. Even if the replacement treatment is better

“The FDA does not approve stem cell treatments like I received in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico at the Dream Body Clinic. And the FDA has labeled these treatments and said that they are not safe or effective. Well, I just wanna give you a little background information on the FDA. I served on the COVID Select Committee on Oversight when I was a member of Congress. And one of the things that I learned as a member of this very important committee was that scientists at the FDA— these are scientists that are government employees and receive a taxpayer-funded paycheck.

These same scientists actually hold patents on the medications and technologies that they invent while they work at the FDA and while they get paid with your tax dollars.

Then these scientists at the FDA make recommendations and say, these are the medications that should be approved. So they're approving the very medications that they experimented on, that they invented, and that they hold the patent on themselves.

The FDA approves these medications, and then the government sells them to pharmaceutical companies, Big Pharma and other pharmaceutical companies.

And then When these pharmaceutical companies roll them out and, and your doctor prescribes you this medication after you've seen an ad for it on television, like on all the commercial breaks on many of the news shows that you see, once you get prescribed that medication and you have to pay for it, whether it's through your health insurance or out of pocket, that very scientist that works at the FDA who holds the patent on it receives a royalty.

So you see, when the FDA talks about what is safe and effective, these are the same government employees and scientists that are making money off of medications that they are approving and telling you are safe and effective”

I found it’s so much worse than we realize

A real Government Accountability Report came out on this

Key Facts from GAO Report on 2020

- Research at HHS/NIH labs led to 4,446 U.S. patents (1980–2019).
- 93 NIH patents contributed to 34 FDA-approved drugs including vaccines and cancer treatments
- These generated up to $2 billion in royalties for NIH from 1991–2019

The Royalties from all these are shared with inventor-scientists including government employees per policy

So OF COURSE they would block any treatment that would threaten their own profits

Legal Earthquake at the Supreme Court, which just called on the State of Oregon to answer the question below. The state never argued for a right to mandate such drugs; only the 9th Circuit granted it such a right, in violation of federal law. This question PROVES all C-19 mandates were unlawful. Notice the second half... can a state mandate a liability-shielded product? This is FAR BIGGER than anyone can possibly imagine.
