Greetings!

Greetings from South Carolina. As you know, half the battle for healthy teeth & gums is with good nutrition. I have tried to cover pertinent stories (and maybe a little too often) on nutrition, while at the same time trying to be sensitive to the fact that you may well have a good practice already in place. However, news of the Codex Alimentarius will have a profound effect on all of us, no matter how we strive to eat healthy and supplement.

At the beginning of April, I received a news story from a friend in Great Britain reporting that the European Courts of Justice SUPPORTED a challenge brought by the Alliance for Natural Health against the notorious 'Food Supplements Directive.' This support apparently prevented a ban on 75% of vitamin and mineral forms. Of course, the concern was that if the ban went into effect in Europe, the rest of the world would soon follow suit. All SEEMED well...


Codex Alimentarius
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although it is great news and appears that our attention is now free to focus elsewhere... the news may not be as wonderful as was thought. This issue is a complex one and the players involve several different entities. And so, aren't we really out of the woods? Will we keep our vitamin and mineral supplements as we like them or is the good news just 'smoke?'

Read this article by Suzan Walter, President of the American Holistic Health Association. Few people have a grasp on the inner workings of the Codex umbrella, but Suzan is one who has followed closely, managed to untangle it and provides an honest and unbiased education inside the Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Supplements

"When you review articles and e-mails dealing with supplements (and there are a number making the rounds), it is important that you understand the impact of each of these events individually, as well as collectively. The following review is presented to assist you in understanding the nuances of each issue and in recognizing when some sources blur and confuse the distinctions..."

Codex Breaks its Own Rules!

May 5, 2005

National Health Federation

The Codex Alimentarius Commission, the active arm of the United Nations Food Standards Programme, is currently in the process of completing a controversial global guideline on the manufacture and sale of nutritional supplements. However, the drafting of this text, the Draft Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements, has not been carried out in accordance with the rules set out in the Codex Procedural Manual (14th edition), and the Guidelines are therefore defective.

Everything Old Is New Again: Rebuilding Your Vision
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glasses, contacts, or surgery. These are the usual choices offered to those of us with bad vision. Orlin Sorensen, though, needed an alternative. A commercial airline pilot who found himself in jeopardy of being downsized after the 9/11 tragedies, Sorensen decided to go for broke and pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a Navy fighter pilot. The only catch was that Navy fighter candidates were required to have near-perfect, uncorrected vision -- no surgery allowed.

Periodontal Disease America: A Personal & National Tragedy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following piece was prepared in 1981. Though it is a long report, study the recommendations at the end and see how many are even in place today in America.

The ONLY answer to periodontal disease is prevention and you are the only one who can do that. Your dentist, hygienist nor your insurance company can prevent periodontal disease...

This scathing report, while I am not in total agreement with all that is here, satisfies one of the seven principles of healthy teeth and gums: Frame of Reference.

Sonicare Bonus Pack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Tom:

I'm trying not to make a short story long .... but I am so excited about the results that I have already received from using the Sonicare Elite Bonus Pack and TheraSol, so, please bear with me:

I have struggled with gum disease (for over 40 years!), constant bleeding and swelling of very red gums, and pain from sensitivity. I tried everything - including a raw food diet. Everything helped a little - but nothing worked a lot! The problem still existed even though better at times.

One year ago, a "new alternative minded" dentist measured the distance of each tooth's gum receding and concluded that I MUST use an antibiotic on the gums ASAP and he MUST do several appointments of DEEP cleaning because I was already on the path of major gum disease. He said they would NEVER get better on their own and this was the only way ... I have such an aversion to drugs that I left "hoping" he was wrong, but beginning to feel he must be right because there seemed to be little or no change no matter what I did - even fasting. Then Frederic Patenaude came into my life and led me to your web site. I didn't much believe you either, but I trust Frederic, so I ordered the Sonicare Elite and the TheraSol - determined that I would take advantage of your return guarantee if not 100% satisfied. Last week, I almost didn't open the Sonicare Elite and was going to send it back ... but used it everyday for the past seven days ... you will never believe what is happening!

My gums are pink - the receding is almost completely gone - I have no bleeding and only a slight sensitivity! I have been telling (and showing) everyone these results and my mother is online at this moment ordering the products because she doesn't want to lose anymore of her teeth. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! It must make you feel very happy to know you have something that truly works and helps people. Keep up the good work. (I just ordered the ViaJet Pro... OK!)

Sincerely,

Deborah Cox Wood, Ph.D.
Doctor of Philosophy in Naturopathy
