Another good reason for living in rural Chile. My water comes from a well. Most of my foods are fresh directly from a small farm (I shop at a feria- farmers market). We only rarely drink bottled drunks at other people’s homes). Our main drink is lemon ice tea using lemons from our trees

But (there’s always a but) non floride toothpaste is 3x the cost of floride toothpaste. I accept the cost for my children’s sake. If I didn’t have two boys I would use some sort of natural concoction.

Does anyone know of a home recipe for toothpaste that kids will use and it’s easy to make and store?

Baking soda. Use in small quantities for deodorant too. Avoids aluminum. Magnesium deodorant is fine but ineffective

B Carlson,

There are many holistic, cheap alternatives to fluoride to stop cavities.

Colloidal silver protocol 2-4 times a year, straight baking soda and/or a pinch of salt massaged with a toothbrush before bedtime, hard cheese and raw nuts, high arginine foods (nuts, seeds, turkey, spinach, fish), alkaline foods, xylitol toothpastes, sugar-free gums and candies, etc.

All these and more are in my Holistic Dental Care book, www.iaomt.org, www.iabdm.org, or www.holisticdental.org.

Write anytime if I can help you or your kids.

Rev. Dr. Stephen A. Lawrence
