Here are some of things you can do to ease your allergies:

1.Keep windows and doors closed.

2.When you come in from outside, if you’ve been exposed to allergens, take a shower and shampoo your hair. Same for kids.

3.When allergens are at their peak, stay inside. This site ( http://www.pollen.com ) will tell you how your city is doing, and generally speaking allergens are worse in mornings.

4.Avoid fans because they circulate air, especially that ceiling fan over your bed.

5.Get your bedrooms more friendly. Remove anything that collects dust – curtains, drapes, stuffed toys, rugs, books, and, alas, Fido needs to sleep elsewhere. Use blinds and linoleum or tile for flooring.

And speaking of Fido, best allergy-friendly choices for a dog are Maltese, bichon frise and poodle. For a cat, sphinx or rex. (Source: Dr. Kross, DVM, http://familyfun.go.com/raisingkids/learn/activities/expert/petvetbestbreeds/petvetbestbreeds.html )

Can Bleeding Gums and Other Periodontal Diseases Kill You?

===========================================================

Recent research in Europe and U.S. have proven a link between an increase in oral sulfur compounds (from bad breath), which then initiate gum disease and bleeding gums (which are truly open wounds in your mouth). These open bleeding sites allow other dangerous toxins to enter body's blood stream.

There is a strong relationship between gum disease and bad breath, because volatile sulfur compounds (found in bad breath) are needed to initiate penetration of dangerous toxins below gum line to start periodontal disease. This new research corroborates our work in finding a non-surgical treatment for gum disease.

We strongly encourage use of a top quality floss to provide a superior level of oral hygiene.

When searching for right therapy program to prevent periodontal disease, be sure to make sure it includes following items:

PeriO2: This active ingredient releases potent Oxygen molecules when in contact with these sulfur compounds. Immediately, a chemical conversion takes place that eliminates them safely and effectively. Once Thiols (sulfur compounds) are reduced, their initiation of allowing toxins into blood stream disappears.

Whole Leaf Aloe Vera: This is not your ordinary aloe vera. It is specially grown for us in green houses to maintain its high concentration of Pharmaceutical Level elements. As everyone knows even "plain" aloe vera has been used to stop bleeding as a natural healing agent for thousands of years. Tests performed at a large metropolitan hospital on Whole Leaf Aloe Vera indeed confirm its healing highly beneficial qualities.

Tea Tree Oil: This is secret ingredient in many "natural" Medications. Tea Tree Oil is extracted through a complicated process from leaves of an Australian tree. Physicians in Southern Hemisphere have turned to Melalucca Plant because overuse of antibiotics has rendered formerly effective prescription medications useless. Properly formulated Tea Tree Oil has been used in many cases as an anti-bacterial agent, when even strongest antibiotics have failed.
