I recently got my teeth cleaned, the ones that I have left,LOL, The hygenist was alarmed when I told her that I brush my teeth with a vinegar solution and have not experienced any problems doing that. In fact my teeth feel cleaner with it. She gave me Colgate Super samples to use, rather than the vinegar.

The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
I would think the weather is more affecting ms than toothpaste. - my 2cents as they say.
