Has anyone tried this probiotic? NSI 15-35

[Guest guest]

NSI Probiotic 15 Strains - 35 Billion CFUs with NutraFlora FOS -- 120 Vegetarian CapsulesI found this at Vitacost, $28 for 60 servings. But I'm wondering if it is a good choice. The reviews at Vitacost are good, especially from people with constipation. I'm a little worried about whether it will keep well during shipping, though it claims to be formulated to survive well even when not refrigerated....

I've been looking for something with lactobacillus rhamnosus in it, as that is supposed to be good for cavities and my four-year-old suddenly has one...incidentally, now that I've started researching oral health, I found some sources that claim that low magnesium levels are a risk factor for cavities. Hmm....Also am rethinking our decisions re not worrying so much about calcium given her constipated condition. Maybe she needs more of it to remineralize her teeth? Hmm.

And, too, this research led me back to xylitol (good for teeth) and I learned that there are two kinds: it can be derived from birch or from corn. Maybe that accounts for differing results that some of us have gotten from xylitol? Maybe we are using different kinds of xylitol?

Hi Bonnie!

Haven't tried that probiotic but after reading your message I was

wondering if you have read much at the Vitamin K protocol group? Many

parents there seem to see dramatic improvement in tooth decay and

tooth status - even claims of cavities that resolve (remineralize?) on

their own without needing to be filled. Also - calcium homeostasis is

discussed a bit there - maybe it's not the need for calcium so much as

the way calcium is being used (or abused?!?) by the body due to other

issues....

I have to look around - it might have been at the Vit K group - but I

recently read a message where someone used white oak bark powder for

cavities - she swore by it. Gets capsules and opens them and applies

directly to the tooth if I remember correctly. I've never heard of it

but was intrigued by that message - haven't looked it up but....

hth?....

best,

Thanks, --I'm a member of the Vitamin K group but, due to email overload, had changed my settings to not receive the emails...maybe I should go back to receiving them, though, as I never seem to think of going and looking at the archives! We are hoping for some remineralization...there's also an alternative dentistry group on Yahoo that is somewhat helpful too. This particular cavity is really tiny so I'm very hopeful! Am debating whether to risk fluoride toothpaste though, just for a while...

The good thing to come out of this is that I never, ever have any problems any more getting my DD to brush her teeth or to let me rebrush...she realizes now that she needs to take care of her teeth.Bonnie

My NT daughter had spots on her teeth that are now gone just with a

couple of drops of Vit k per day and green pastures CLO. Lots of

teeth conversations over on the vit k board a few months ago.

I have given myu son the NSI probiotic -- it's my number 2 choice

after VSL#3. When you compare the 'billion's' the NSI is about 8

capsules to 1 VSL sachet - so about the same cost. I like it better

LeeAnn, The dental tech recommended ultra-bright toothpaste for whitening, so my dd brushed with it and she does have the discoloration that they have no definite answer for other than it happens in the womb while they are being created and they say it could be from anti-biotics give while pregnant? Anyway................she brushed with it and they became ultra-white only in certain spots almost like they are two different layers of enamel? It was very strange, now she was struggling with trying to brush off the extreme white spots??? It faded that day but it goes to show that the enamel itself is more pores in some places than others...............Any thoughts? What is CLO? thanks Jeaniemommtlc wrote: My NT daughter had spots on her teeth that are now gone just with a couple of drops of Vit k per day and green pastures CLO.

Cod liver oil. I don't know exactly why it works, but the

combination of taking minerals like magnesium, fish oil, cod liver

oil and vitamin a and k seem to bablance the body's bone building

capabilities -- which include teeth.

I believe the spot on the teeth were caused by fluoride - which

leads to bone loss -- including osteoporosis.
