Cure Tooth Decay by Ramiel Nagel

I really had a big curiosity to read Cure Tooth Decay: Remineralize Cavities and Repair Your Teeth Naturally with Good Food [Second Edition] as I found it praised and recommended by so many people in different forums. I couldn’t wait to put my hands (and eyes) on it and know what it was all about. I have to say that it took me time to read it and more time to assimilate its content. Ramiel leaves no stone unturned and the book from beginning to the end is a wealth of information, if you are new to the concept (as most of us are), you will find it at moments overpowering, however it touches every small thing related to tooth decay and healing, and no matter what your dental problem is I’ve found this book to be a really good starting point to research deeper into any particular problem you might be worried about.

Cure Tooth Decay is the published result of five years of research done by the author Ramiel Nagel, combined with research carried out by respected dentists such as Weston Price and Melvin Page.

In the book the author starts explaining the real reason of dental cavities and why our diet is the key to cure and prevent tooth decay. The first part of the book, (nearly half of it) is dedicated exclusively, and quite extensively, to diet. The diets of our ancestors, and studies done in cultures were tooth decay is very rare. The program is easy to understand and follow, even for people with busy schedules and is based in simple changes to your diet such as avoiding junk food, processed sugar and flour products, take some fat soluble vitamins or some Cod Liver Oil every day (to name a few).

It is a simple program intended to heal cavities and prevent tooth decay in a natural way, without the need of any invasive treatment such as drilling, fillings, root canals etc.

The second part of the book deals with a variety of subjects such as the importance of our bite in our overall health, the correction of teeth in an overcrowded mouth which is usually dealt with the imposition of braces in our conventional dentistry. There is a very good number of reference websites to find better dentists and professionals that follow a more holistic and not so invasive approach towards health. There are even recipes to make your own natural toothpaste.

To enumerate every single detail in this book would be impossible, as I think it would be for Ramiel Nagel to fit them all in depth in a single book,( although this book has been a real achievement), however, it provides all the tools for you to go and find your own answer. It gives you the power to make your own choices and listen to your body, to have the option of a more natural alternative... just because NOW you have more information.

Autism, Beyond Despair: Homeopathy has the Answers by Dr. Tinus Smits

In Autism, Beyond Despair: Homeopathy has the Answers, Dr. Tinus Smits provides an answer to so many parents: Autistic children CAN be recovered and he explains the different steps of his treatment which he has developed and successfully used in over 300 autistic children.

He explains the different types of homeopathy and the reasons why classical homeopathy alone cannot cure completely autism. His innovative treatment focuses on a form of homeopathy called Isotherapy, which uses different doses of the same substance that has caused the problem to detox the children. Isotherapy, together with some classical homeopathy and “inspiring homeopathy” as well as some dietary changes are the perfect combination to bring this children back to reality.

Through his research Dr. Tinus Smits locates the roots of the autism in a combination of sources; poor nutrition, vaccines, environmental toxins, antibiotics and other prescription drugs, rather than just a single cause, going as far as toxins present at the time of the pregnancy and even before conception.

I highly recommend this book to any parent of autistic children looking for answers. It’s an interesting read, encouraging, inspiring, a real page turner with a very positive outcome; the answers you were looking for.

Raising a Vaccine Free Child by Wendy Lydall

One of the big dilemmas for health conscious parents is whether to vaccinate or not their children and whether to only use selective vaccines or rather natural and safer alternatives. It is difficult to make a choice, when that choice is for the best of your offspring doubts are normal and even healthy.

If you have taken the decision to raise a vaccine free child this book will provide a wealth of resources; a historic background information of the vaccines and their unsafe components, the implications that these ingredients have in the human body and our health. It also gives a division between the normal childhood diseases that don’t need intervention and the malevolent ones that need it; what you should do to cope with the diseases and how to effectively treat your child should he contract these diseases.

It also deals with Homeopathy as a healthy alternative to vaccination.

The book is clear and easy to read, gives practical advice and is fully referenced. I have found it highly recommended among parents supporting natural health and it is definitely worth to have it as a resource at home.

The Truth About Vaccines- Dr. Richard Halvorsen

As parents we always try to do what is best for our children. Not long ago one had just the option of trusting his doctor regarding health issues. Nowadays there is so much information available around us that we can afford to trust our instincts and still make an informed decision.

This is what Dr. Richard Halvorsen offers in his book The Truth About Vaccines: Making the Right Decision for Your Child, the possibility of making your decision based on facts and valuable information as a result of seven years of research.

In his book we are presented chapter by chapter with each disease, each vaccine, its ingredients, its secondary effects, its benefits, different case studies through the years. It presents a balanced discussion of the pros and cons of vaccination in a clear language, using plain vocabulary in spite of the medical context and still full of references for all those who might want to explore the issues further.

Surprisingly, Dr. R. Halvorsen is not anti-vaccination but pro-choice, he is in favour of presenting the parents with all the relevant information to enable them to make an informed decision, to balance the risks of the disease versus the risks of the vaccines, he also advises a personalised approach to each child.

In general, an excellent and highly recommended book to help you make up your mind and make the right decision for your child.
