Hi Tabitha,

You may want to try a lot more calcium and phosphorous as well as cod liver oil

and x-

factor butter oil. Sounds like a mineral deficiency to me. I would add lots of

lentil soup to

their diet (rich in magnesium and phosphorous) as well as a calcium supplement

like

dolomite. To order the CLO and butter oil go to www.greenpasture.org. You can

learn all

about those 2 products at that site.

I think you are right to focus on the internal. But I would also focus a little

on the

toothpaste you are using. There was an article recently in Acres USA where a

scientist has

discovered that the glycerin used in most toothpastes forms a slick coating on

teeth and

prevents the body's natural re-mineralizer, saliva, to perform it's job on them

and also

prevents the saliva from alkalinizing them.

Modern toothpastes also contain flouride, which is not only toxic, but it

doesn't actually

prevent cavities. It only keeps the old tooth bone in place where normally, the

old tooth

bone would have been shed and filled with new stronger tooth bone. Flouride

also works

to fill those holes with itself. All this creates brittle teeth that chip and

crack and cause

more trips to the dentist.

He recommended taking monosodium phosphate with calcium, as well as tossing out

your

conventional toothpaste and going to...plain old soap and water. Believe it or

not, that

makes your teeth stronger and cleaner. The soap washed the food and bacteria

right off,

just like it does on your hands. And be sure the soap has no glycerin in it.

Just plain Ivory

will work.

Anyway, I hope these recommendations help.

Thanks !

We've been giving the kids Calc Phos, and I've been to a Homeopathic

Internal Medicine doc. She said it was a mineral prob and they

weren't absorbing calcium fast enough. We have them on a multi-

mineral with trace minerals...a potent ionic one.

Have you heard of Xylitol? We use Tom's of Maine, and Xylitol is in

there. Suppose to be great for the teeth, but many people I know are

leary of it since it's " new. " We stay away from flouride, and have

been for about 1 - 2 years now.

Thanks again for all the info!

I have heard of xylitol through Dr. , and I think it is great! I

would still try

soap and water, as soap really pulls that bacteria and food out of there, better

than

anything else...

Have you heard of Jordan Rubin's book The Maker's Diet? I saw him speak

recently at the

WAPF conference, and one of his most memorable remarks was, " You are not what

you eat,

you are what you absorb. " I would get his book if I were you and see what all

he has to

say about gut health. Something is causing your kids to NOT absorb minerals and

something is wrong there. The first thing that comes to my mind regarding that

is gut

health. If it were me, I would start the kids on a gut-healing./cleansing

regimen, building

up the good bacteria in their system (as these bacteria feed your immune

system). I would

use all kinds of probiotics, like kefir especially, as well as Primal Defense by

Garden of LIfe

(Jordan Rubin's company.)

And I just want to point out that sugar is not really the problem where teeth

are

concerned. Studies have shown that you can put teeth in sugar solution and

nothing

happens to the enamel, but if you put them in a glass of phosphoric acid (as in

Coca Cola)

they will dissolve away very quickly to nothing. I KNOW you don't have your

kids on coke,

right? But I would check for something in their diets that contain phosphoric

acid of any

kind. Just thoughts.

PS I am a homeschooling mom too!
