Chemicals – on our SKIN!!

Healing Cavities Naturally – Really?
** Update. I no longer recommend consuming Fermented Cod Liver Oil after this whistleblower report. RIP Ramiel Nagel, who died of cancer at only 38. This post is about teeth. We all have them (hopefully) and we generally spend as little time as possible thinking about them. I’ve been thinking about mine more lately because they’ve been hurting. Correction – they were hurting. For several months. I was dreading a return trip to the dentist because he didn’t really fix anything that was hurting last time.
