Do you know anyone (of any age) who has even a few of these attributes?
  • Short attention span and easily distracted or can only focus on exciting things
  • Disorganized
  • Procrastinates
  • Anxious and/or gets stuck on bad thoughts
  • Poor impulse control (e.g. gets into trouble for saying or doing stupid things)
  • Engages in risky behavior, uses stimulants
  • When told to try harder, it makes matters worse

Attention Deficit Disorder affects adults as well as children and doesn’t necessarily involve fidgeting restlessness as the stereotype would suggest. A favorite guest, nurse/author/practitioner, Tana Amen explains the 7 kinds of ADD and which natural remedies help. She and her husband, psychiatrist Daniel Amen, MD, are both best-selling authors. She was great!

Dental Dangers
Last week’s interview with holistic dentist Philip Kozlow is one everyone should hear (see details below).
These are some additional resources:
  Short version of video on mercury vaporizing from amalgam fillings, Smoking Teeth
  Longer version of Smoking Teeth
  Concerns about the long-term hidden effects of Root Canals, by Hal Huggins, DDS.
  IAOMT is the group that Dr. Kozlow recommended as a source to find a local a holistic dentist.

I believe dental issues are quite serious as I’m sure anyone who heard the show understood. However, when we discussed what a problem it would be to lose our teeth, I visualized putting meals in a blender and then…had to bite my tongue because the picture that came to mind was that ridiculously gross “Bassomatic” episode years ago on Saturday Night Live.

 Last Week Follow-up
LISTEN to that show in the archives. When a tooth goes bad, what will it be…root canal, implant, bridge, denture appliance or just extract the darn thing (and how do you do that and not cause a cavitation)? Michael Einsohn, DC the owner and founder of The Thermography Center of Dallas sees daily how the health of each tooth and the type of dental practices affect all parts of the body. I reviewed his input and then asked holistic dentist Philip R. Kozlow, DDS about the benefits versus risks of each common approach to a problem tooth. It is much more complicated (and more important) than most people think.
