From ME 2 U with Love......

[Guest guest]

Hi... the window was opened, so in l came!

Sesame oil is a natural gum food, rub in on your gums last thing at

night and massage

Bicarbonate of soda is a natural germ bacteria killer/healer

use daily

smell/odour killer or chew a parsley leaf....

Ionic toothbrushes suck/draw plaque away from teeth... unlike all

electric toothrushes which just damage tooth enamel by spinning at

1000`s of rotations..... loosen plaque or scrub which for you?

I have learn all this,from having a catalogues of medical problems

from 15 years of ME hope this helps someone. nature has all the

medicnes we need...just keep looking..

Take care
