Make your own dental plaque remover with just three nontoxic ingredients.
The first is 4 drops of tea tree oil, which is antibacterial and antimicrobial. Tea tree oil can help dissolve bile film and plaque buildup.

Second is 1 tsp of xylitol, a sugar alcohol that’s an excellent antibacterial.
Third is 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, which is also antibacterial and antimicrobial.

Mix the three ingredients together and use them over a few days, a mouthful at a time. Hold the mixture in your mouth for ten minutes, then rinse. You’ll slowly see less plaque!

(Tom: Additionally, proteolytic enzymes support your body’s ability to dissolve plaque in your arteries and dental plaque in your mouth.)

“My feelings of being in the wrong body started when I was a toddler. I hated girl toys and I only wanted to play with boys, I had short hair and dressed myself like a boy. I didn’t understand other girls my age so I felt out of place.

When someone would mistake me for a boy I would feel so good, much to the chagrin of my older sister who would quickly correct them and exclaim, “that’s my SISTER.” At 4 I worked up the courage to ask my mom, “Does God make mistakes, because I think I was supposed to be born a boy?” My mother replied, “No God doesn’t ever make mistakes, he made you exactly the way you’re supposed to be, a beautiful little girl.”

And that was that. I didn’t have any more delusions because my mom cleared it up for me right then and there. Don’t get me wrong I still didn’t like my body and dreaded growing breasts one day, but I didn’t have to question if there was something wrong with me. I was allowed time to grow up, and once I hit puberty I not only felt like I was in the right body, but I became a girly girl!

If I was born in our society today I know I would have been “affirmed” by my teachers and started on a cascade of interventions that would have left me infertile, mutilated and without the husband and two beautiful children that I have today.

Our kids don’t need to be socially or medically transitioned. They need to be left alone, and they need time to grow up.” ~ Brittany Traynor

In a study, scientists used a fake leg to simulate a person stepping on a rattlesnake. Out of 175 snakes that were physically “stepped on” by the booted foot, only six bit the leg. The rest tried to get away, froze in place, or wriggled in surprise but didn’t react aggressively. It’s actually really hard to get bitten by a rattlesnake. They just want to be left alone.

Rattlesnakes also don’t rattle before striking. A rattle doesn’t mean aggression, it’s an “excuse me, I’m down here.” They rattle to tell you, or other large animals, that you are about to step on them, since they blend in very well with their surroundings and they’d rather you didn’t smush them accidentally. Strikes are generally noise-free acts of last ditch desperation.

Only about 1% of rattlesnake bites are deadly, and those that are generally happen in situations where medical care was delayed. A quarter of rattlesnake bites don’t actually involve any venom at all, they are “dry bites” intended as a warning only. As long as you get to a hospital in a reasonable amount of time, you will probably be fine. This is not a situation where minutes count, just move promptly towards medical care. The deadly bites generally happen in very remote areas, when people are hiking alone, or when drugs and alcohol are involved, since all of these can increase the amount of time it takes someone to get to help or result in poor decision-making. First aid for a bite? Just get the person to a hospital, promptly, but safely. There is nothing else you need to do, and anything you might think about doing is just wasting time getting the person to a hospital and potentially complicating things by rubbing germs into the wound or further stressing the currently stressed tissue in the area. Don’t ice it, tourniquet it, or suck on it, just call 911 or start hiking back to the trailhead.

The anti-venom products ERs use are combination formulas, which work for multiple North American venomous snake species. One works for multiple species of rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and copperheads. A second anti-venom product works for various rattlers if you know you heard a rattle but aren’t sure of the exact species. Coral snake bites can be identified by looking at the bite itself by hospital staff because the venom works on the body differently and there is a separate antivenom product that works for them. All of this means you don’t need to try to take a closeup picture of the snake that bit you, coax it into a box to bring with you, or kill it to bring in and show to the doctors.

In the case of rattlers, copperheads, and cottonmouths, they have what they need to treat a bite without knowing exactly what species of snake it was, and in the case of coral snakes, can figure out that one bit you without seeing the snake. Don’t waste time or risk a second bite messing with a snake that is already very upset.

Truth be told, Lyme is a rather serious matter so first off, tick bites should be avoided plus monitored closely if prevention fails.

Dr Karen Mitchell PhD writes on X:

Hey everyone. I am reaching out for support.

I have been chatting on here, respectfully and happily.

Yesterday I tweeted that there are many narcissists/psychopaths/predators in the psychiatric and psychology community based on my PhD research.

The responses from mental health professionals have been nothing short of abusive. I feel judged, character-assassinated, misunderstood, humiliated, disrespected. I feel physically sick.

I am stunned at the maliciousness and demeaning nature of the group bullying from mental health professionals. I am really, really distressed.

Have a look at all the retweet comments on the post below.

For any psychiatrists and psychologists who might like to actually read my work before further attacking me, here is a link…

I replied:

If you ever needed the equivalent or better (and without the wait) of a peer review of your work, it was just handed you on a silver platter!

So, well done for being over the target, that’s when you cop the flack! You stand with giants in the field who tried to clean it up..

…Dr Peter Breggin and Dr Thomas Szasz being two that come to mind.
As to immediate help for you personally, take a walk and look at things till you feel better. The only power anti-social personalities have is the power to enturbulate. Disempower them!

Just as the diets of your grandparents and parents affected their health, it also affects yours. And what you eat today affects your children and grandchildren too.

Another look at the Blue Zones and some of the reasons for the better health outcomes found there. Blue Zones are areas on Earth where people live longer (up to 15 years longer) and with better health (88% less likely to die from prostate cancer and 85% less from breast cancer) than other places.

Key takeaways:

Exercise Regularly
Don’t Smoke
Don’t drink alcohol to excess
Keep weight in a healthy range
Eat a diet rich in fruit and vegetables and legumes
