About ten months ago I had my first dentist visit in twenty years. My teeth are pretty healthy and no new cavities were found. I have one mercury “silver” filling that I want out. I inquired my dentist about her opinion this filling and she nearly laughed when I told her that I believe that this filling is one of the contributing causes to my Candida yeast and Anxiety/OCD disorder. She said it was a small filling, it was secure and it “looked” pretty good. She said it was not worth taking out but she would do it if I asked her.
I then went to my doctor and inquired about my mercury levels. The test showed that I had mercury in my blood but not in amounts that would be a cause for concern. My Whole blood levels were 9 µg/L and the safe levels are < 8.0 µg/L and for occupational limit in exposed workers < 15.0 µg/L (Source)
So my level is just above the safe level.
So here are my thoughts about mercury:
If health professionals don’t take mercury amalgam poisoning seriously then you need to find another health professional that does.
Why?
Mercury is toxic even in small amounts. It is the most toxic, non radioactive substance in the world. It is more toxic then lead.
Mercury passes the blood brain barrier.
Mercury is attracted to lipids (fats) and the brain has the highest concentration of lipids of any organ.
Mercury vapour from dental fillings is highly toxic
Watch this startling video on how brushing your teeth can lead to toxic overexposure to mercury just by the dental amalgam vapours. Even drinking hot beverages and soups can leach more mercury into your body then in an undisturbed amalgam. Any kind of stimulation will disturb the mercury to release vapours. Mercury vapours are then released for a minimum 1.5 hrs.
I will be having my fillings removed within the next couple of weeks. I found a holistic dentist that will do this work and I meet him on Sunday. (An odd day for business, but it is the first day of the week) I will meet with him to see if I feel comfortable with him doing such work in my mouth.
I will also start taking supplements to chelate mercury. The supplements include Iodine, Selenium, Cilantro, Chlorella, High dose vitamin C to bowel tolerance. That is a start for now and as I find more info I will add to this list.

It is incredible how many toxins can be found at the grocery store. This also applies to the health food stores as they try to expand their market reach to include MSG loaded soy foods and market them as low fat and healthy.
I used to buy Late July Organic crackers for my kids thinking that they where a healthier choice for them. What I did not realize was that they use soy lecithin and it was not “organic” soy lecithin. Soy is a GMO and highly dangerous.
My food shopping policy now is to buy 98% of my food in its original state and not in a box, bag or bottle with the exception of ecologically harvested canned salmon, organic tomato paste, vinigars and oils.
This video brings to light exactly how I feel when I go shopping. It brings to light what has happened to our food and what is added to our food..
The amount of (GMO) soy
The amount of (GMO) corn
aspartame and splenda sweeteners
food dies
irridation
aluminum pans
food additives
hydrogenated oils
canned food
hormones/nitrates in meat
Warning: this video contains some profanities.

I have my own thoughts on how this kind of food has ended up in out grocery stores and in our homes. One of them being that there is a lot of profit to be made from sick people. But that is my opinion.

Here is a Caesar Salad Dressing worth making at home. It is so good that it will make store bought salad dressings look like cheap imitations . I hope that you will try this and let me know what you think.
Sweet Almond Oil is what I use in this dressing and my mayonnaise. I purchase sweet almond oil at my local health food store. It is very light and tastes delicious. To me it is a good replacement for Canola oil. Nearly all canola is GMO except for organic! You want to avoid Canola oil as it is highly processed Omega 6 oil.
Wikipedia states that Almond Oil is stable and that…
” In Ayurveda, an ancient system of health care that is native to the Indian subcontinent, almond is considered a nutritive for brain and nervous system. It is said to induce high intellectual level and longevity. Almond oil is called Roghan Badam in both Ayurveda and Tibb Yunani (the Greco-Persian System of Medicine). It is extracted by cold process and is considered a nutritive aphrodisiac both for massage and internal consumption. Recent studies have shown that the constituents of almond have anti-inflammatory, immunity boosting, and anti-hepatotoxicity effects.[22]” (Source: Wikipedia)
If you buy almond oil make sure that it is Sweet Almond Oil and food grade.
Cost warning: It is expensive! 750ml costs about $14-15 Canadian dollars.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a good choice if you have a good oil that does not have a strong taste.
Caesar Salad Dressing
2 pasture raised organic egg yolks
2 cloves of garlic
½ cup of Real Parmesan Cheese
1 can of Anchovies (50g)
½ tsp of ground mustard
1 cup of Sweet Almond Oil
2-3 tblsp Of whey (optional)
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Put in a jar and store in the fridge. If you added whey, put your dressing in a jar and let sit overnight to allow it to ferment.
I am so inspired with this testimonial by Ramiel Nageland how he has healed dental cavities in his family. It is very similar to the one our family went through when we healed the teeth of my eldest daughter. Like us, the Ramiel also used the nutritional philosophies of Weston A. Price to promote healing.
The only way to heal is through strengthening the body with nutrition. Quick fixes to the dentist are just that – quick fixes. My philosophy is that if you mask a problem without healing the body it will show up in some other symptom. So overall you will just be medicating without true healing.
High Vitamin Diet To Cure Cavities
A diet rich in fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) from organ meats, eggs, and raw milk or cheese (raw or lightly cooked)
Eating bone marrow and cartilage
Adding a mineral rich bone broth made from fish, chicken, beef, lamb or pig
Reduce phytic Acid in grains and nuts by soaking, fermenting and sprouting them
And heal the gut and improve vitamin availability by eating fermented foods.
Getting enough vitamin D is crucial and will help prevent many illnesses, strengthening the immune system as well as strengthening bones and teeth. A good 30-45 minutes of outdoor activities daily is recommended to get enough of this essential vitamin. The 400iu that is the RDA is not enough for optimal health. Dr. Mercola, Dr. Russel Blaylock and the Weston A. Price Foundation recommend 4000-10,000 IU.
I am forever grateful to the great dentist Weston Price for doing his meticulous work in documenting the food and the health of the people throughout the world. More people are learning about his great work and seeing results in healing cavities.
The month of September was just so sunny and beautiful in my area. I was basking in the sun and enjoying every minute of it knowing that it was short lived. Last week the weather changed and the clouds rolled in and stole the wonderful sun away and brought with it the rain. That is when I found out that I could hardly get up from bed. I also could not stop crying and for no reason at all. It was extremely hard just to get my kids of too school and getting through the days was all I could do. It was getting worse and worse every day. This definitely was not normal!
I don’t know how it can happen so quickly – that one day I just can’t get out of bed anymore. I was feeling emotionally beaten up and had no fight left in me.
Four days of this was enough for me to go out and splurge on some vitamins. Usually I make a great effort to get sun on my skin everyday and take Cod Liver Oil all for the Vitamin D. However I picked up some Vit. D pills just to get me through the winter. I also picked up a Multi B vitamin as it is generally known to fight depression and good for adrenals and stress management.
I took my supplements that night which consists of:
Vitamin C 1000mg
Multi Vitamin B 100s
Vitamin D up to 4000iu depending on sun exposure
Vitamin E mixed Tocopherol 400 IU
Cod Liver Oil
Handful of Dulse for iodine
Magnesium Powder
After adding the Vitamin D and B vitamins I feel like a whole NEW person. The sun did not shine for days but it did not matter anymore. The tears went away and the energy came back.
One thing that I was also looking to buy was full spectrum lighting to put in my kitchen as this is the place in my house that I spend a lot of time. I don’t need that right now but as the fall and winter season arrives I will probably have my husband install the new lights.
Absorbing Nutrients
I am eating a healthy and nutritious diet and getting lots of Vitamin B through my food as well as getting Sunshine. Why is it that adding these two “pills” would make such a difference. Why can’t I get the same effect from eating liver which is rich in those vitamins?
I am assuming that the food has to get digested and broken down by the digestive bacteria and fed to the cells and a vitamin pill is a lot easier to absorb.
A healthy gut is the KEY to optimal health.
Food digestion is critical to health and that is why I blog so much about my Candida Yeast issues. I am also an advocate for fermented foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, beet kvass, kefir which replenishes the gut with healthy bacteria and fight yeast and pathogens. Fermented foods also aid with digestion problems like diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, gas, bloating and food allergies.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety
My OCD normally gets worse when we start burning the wood stove for heat. So far it has not been so bad. I check the stove before leaving the house or going to bed like I always do but the anxiety around it is not there. My anxiety in general has gone down. Not totally gone away but I am able to fall asleep without worrying about the house burning down, my kids dying or someone breaking in.
This is a breakthrough! It is absolutely horrible to feel afraid to sleep.
As I wear my heart on my sleeve I hope that someone may be helped with my battles and breakthroughs. Instead of reaching for medication I try to find out what nutritional needs might not be getting met and then try to remedy it. This is the long way to healing but at the moment it is the only one I got. Hiring a holistic doctor is not affordable at this time.
My History Note: When I was battling suicidal depression as a teenager my father sent me to an Iridologist. This Iridologist put me on vitamins and I pulled out of the depression rather quickly. Vitamin D and Multi Bs were part of my vitamin cocktail. I thought that I was just growing out of the teenage hormones change and did not give much credit to those vitamins. Eventually I stopped taking them.
Right now I feel a lot better than when I was taking St. Johns Wort and Sam-E. Those are natural anti-depressants and supposedly work as well as medications prescribed by doctors for mild depression.
At this point I give the credit for my well being to the vitamins.
An exciting update: after I wrote this post I talked to my father and spoke of my health issues. He was witness to what I went through as a teenage kid so he understands greatly what it is to be “unbalanced”. So he has offered to pay for me to go to an alternative doctor! I am absolutely ecstatic!!!
Normally I don’t do a lot of baking for my family. I am just not to confident in that department. My kids do go without dessert a lot of the time. It is time to polish up this skill because I have a lot of homegrown apples that I need to use up. This is the first year that we have had a decent crop of apples off of our trees and they also taste good. They are not sweet apples and rather tart and good on a low carb diet. It is also hard to overeat tart apples as they make your mouth pucker up even when picking them off the tree!
This recipe tastes great and is a very healthy. It is also very aromatic and will make your house smell delicious!
Nutty Apple Crisp
2 cups of chopped tart apples (peeled and cored)
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 cup of ground almonds (preferably soaked and dried to remove anti-nutrients)
1 cup of chopped pecans (preferably soaked and dried to remove anti-nutrients)
Peel your apples, core and chop into small pieces. Drizzle lemon juice over apples.
Mix in a bowl ground almonds, chopped pecans, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, stevia and vanilla. Add butter to the bowl and work it into the “crumb” ingredients.
Take half of the crumb mixture and place it into a 9″ square baking dish. Add apples and top with the remainder of the crumb mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes or until apples are soft.
Enjoy!!

There is nothing more that my kids love to eat more than their grilled cheese sandwiches. That is their favorite lunch food. Before I decided to give up grains due to Candida Yeast issues, grilled cheese sandwiches were one of my favorites as well.
The other day, i was watching the Rachel Ray Show and she was making a grilled cheese sandwich out of Tomato Slices. Her recipe used grain flour so I had to improvise a bit. Let me tell you how excited I was about this recipe!
Garlic Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwich
1 Large tomato
1/2 cup of ground almonds (or almond flour)
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
small handful of fresh basil (about 1/3 cup)
1 clove of garlic
1 Pasture raised free range egg
Cheese Slices
Salt and Pepper to taste
Butter for frying
Grind your almonds until they have a flour like consistency. Place into a medium mixing bowl. Add your Parmesan cheese and mix well.
Core and thinly slice your tomato (reserve the end pieces for a salad if you like) I got about 4 slices which would make 2 “sandwiches”.
Wisk your egg in a small bowl.
Finely chop your basil and garlic.
Warm up your skillet and melt butter for frying. Dip your tomato in the egg mixture. Then drag your tomato through the almond and Parmesan mixture. Make sure it is well coated. It will be a bit sticky. Do this for all your tomato slices.
Fry your tomato slices in butter. Once browned flip to the other side. This will take 3-5 minutes per side on low to medium heat.
When your tomatoes are nice and crispy top *half * your tomatoes with cheese slices and garlic basil mixture. To make a “sandwich”, place the remaining tomatoes on the garlic basil cheese. Cover your skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt.
Add salt and pepper to taste!
This recipe will make two delicious grilled sandwiches!
Recipe note: Fresh basil tastes very different from dried. You may substitute a good quality pesto if you do not have fresh basil.
Enjoy!

So the cold and flu season is well underway and with all the hoopla about swine flu in the news I have been experimenting with eating raw garlic daily. Garlic works almost immediately when you notice the first signs of a cold coming on. I can feel my nose clearing up within minutes – even if I am not feeling sick!
Garlic can be found in the produce section of your grocery store. It is safe with no nasty side effects and according to Science Daily it is one of the world’s most powerful antioxidant. Not only is it antiviral and antibacterial, garlic is also great as a daily supplement for healing the gut from candida yeast because of its antifungal and antiparasitic properties. Garlic also has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels which are very beneficial for insulin resistant and diabetic health issues. (Source: Indian Journal Of Medical Sciences)
This beautiful medicinal tasty food renowned for its immune boosting and virus killing health benefits is most effective when eaten raw and freshly crushed or chopped. But it is in this state that it is also the most pungent and spicy. It is also really hard to get little children to eat raw garlic. I have tried and succeeded!
I have combined a list with the most child friendly meals on top.
How To Eat Raw Garlic
Salad Dressings – Homemade Creaser Dressing (this one is a favourite for the kids!) Anchovies, 2-3 cloves of raw Garlic, Lemon juice, 2-3 egg yolks, ground mustard and almond oil. Put everything in a blender and blend.
Salsa – Tomatoes, Avocado, lemon juice, Salt and Pepper and raw garlic
Guacamole - Avocado, Lemon juice, Salt and Pepper and raw garlic
Pesto – Fresh Basil, Raw Garlic, extra virgin olive oil, Pine Nuts and Parmesan Cheese
Chicken Soup – Warm homemade stock with veggies and just before serving add raw garlic.
Hummus – Chick Peas and Tahini, Lemon Juice and raw garlic
Veggie dips – Yogurt, mayonnaise, raw garlic, lemon juice and your favourite herbs like oregano and thyme
Eggs (sunny side up) sprinkled with turmeric and Salt and Pepper served with fall squashes and raw garlic and butter. This is my favourite breakfast!
Garlic and Cheese – I make mini “cheesewiches”! A cheese slice is used as a bread substitute and I just lay thin slices of raw garlic on it and top with basil, tomato, mayonnaise and salt and pepper.
Garlic Bread – toast, butter and garlic. Although not a low carb way of eating garlic but it is the way my husband eats it.
Garlic in bacon fat! I spoon some bacon drippings on a spoon, take a fresh crushed clove of garlic, mix together and swallow. The fat neutralizes the heat and odour a bit so the garlic is much less offensive. Eat garlic like this on a full tummy.
Bill C-6 is a new scary bill that has passed the Parliament and has now had its second reading in the Senate. The third reading could pass it into law. It is disguised as a Consumer Product Safety Bill but contains sections in it that are unconstitutional and treasonous. You can find out more about Bill C-6 here.
Last week I had called the national television and radio broadcasters about this proposed Bill as I have heard or read nothing about it. I asked them to do a story on this bill as it will effect the rights and freedoms of every Canadian. You would think that such a public interest story would be on the front page of every newspaper and talk shows buzzing with people adamant about how they want to protect their rights and freedoms. But there is no such outcry.
So it is up to you who read this to spread the word via word of mouth, e-mail, twitter, facebook, youtube, stumble upon, digg etc… Now is the time to have your voice heard by writing to your members of parliament and Senate. If you don`t live in Canada and you don`t think that you need to be worried about this, think again. There is probably legislation that is being proposed and passed in many other countries that are similar to this. An example of this is the State of Massachusetts and Senate Bill No. 2028.
If you live in Canada you can find the Senators names and contact information here. Feel free to use my letter as a template. I also used a template that is found here under the title `Contact Senators about Bill C-6`
My letter To The Senators
September 25, 2009
Dear Senator,
I have recently been astonished and frightened at the proposed Bill C-6. It has not been talked about in the media or written in the newspapers. It will affect the very rights and freedoms that Canadians cherish so much and nobody in the media is talking about. I myself have called the national media outlets (CBC and CTV) and asked them to run stories and investigative reports on this new proposed bill and so far NOTHING has been reported!
Why are Canadian Citizens not being alerted and made aware to such a Bill that will challenge their constitutional rights?
Bill C-6 is unconstitutional: its language violates the provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as follows:
a. search private property without a warrant;
b. seize private property without Court supervision;
c. destroy private property without Court supervision;
d. take control of businesses without Court supervision;
e. in some circumstances to keep seized private property without a Court order;
f. impose penalties without a Court order.
Anybody who is believed to have contravened a section of this act is deemed guilty by the minister NOT by a court. A person is guilty until proven innocent.
This act also removes the Rule Of Law. We have the government, we have the courts and we have citizens. This act takes away the courts from its citizens and allows the government to intrude against its own people. This is what wars and rebellions are fought over!
No nation will possibly benefit from separating the people from their courts.
A citizen that is found guilty would have to prove themselves innocent before a minister. There is no court. The minister can confiscate property and when the person is found guilty it is the minister who gets to keep that confiscated property. This creates a huge conflict of interest.
There is also the Notwithstanding clause of our charter of rights and freedoms that says that any right enjoyed by Canadian Citizens may be annulled temporarily for the good of the nation!
The government can suspend civil rights because of the H1N1 Flu. This gives the government the power to do mandatory mass vaccination campaign against the H1N1 flu.
These Vaccines contain toxic adjuvents that kill brain cells by causing chronic inflammation to the brain. Once injected the body starts to attack and fight itself because of the poisons. Auto-immune disorders that are linked to vaccines are Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and Gulf War Syndrome. These vaccines attack the brain and are neurotoxins.
Here is a quote by U.S. Representative Ron Paul (R-TX): When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us, we, in essence, accept that the state owns our bodies.
Well I am sorry to say that as a law abiding citizen of Canada I am not going to hand over the my body (or that of my family) to the Government. My body belongs to ME and not the Government!
Senator McCoy called this Bill C-6 “totalitarianism“. The definition of that word is a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.)
Is this what Canada is going to become?
According to Senator McCoy we do not need new legislation. We need more people to enforce current product safety regulation.
You – as Senators are there to protect us and not to take our rights away.
Just for your information the state of Massachusetts has also proposed a similar Bill that also enforces mandatory vaccinations, quarantine and warrantless searches, high fines and prison and penalties. This Senator Richard Moore who introduced this Bill is now facing impeachment proceedings on grounds of treason.
Vote AGAINST Bill C-6! It is unconstitutional and it violates the provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms!
Sincerely yours,
(your name, address, phone number)
Spread The Word
If the Media will not report on this proposed Bill C-6 it is up to the people to do so. Please help in spreading this message. Write to the Senators, e-mail and use social media to spread the word.
For the last couple of days what I have learned has shaken me to my core. I am so angry at my new findings that I have started to call the television and radio stations asking them why the information that I have found out about is not being broadcast in the mainstream media. I have also asked them to do news pieces on this Bill C-6 and I will see if they will actually comply with this request. Canadian Citizens have to know this information because these laws are going to be forced on us when they are passed. It is time to take action.
Bill C- 6 is Canada’s Version of Codex Alimentarius! Yes you can find out what Codex Alimentarius is here. It is a frightening bill that will be passed and it will affect every person living in America and even those living outside by the horrific trade implications.
Bill C-6 Is Unconstitutional
Constitutional Lawyer Shawn Buckley addresses the issues of Bill C-6:
It abolishes the Law of Trespass, the government can come onto, into your property without being liable or have a warrant. In the Law of Trespass, it is the only law where you don’t have to have proof of the trespass and can be charged criminally and convicted. Normally a warrant is only issued by the courts if there is a likelihood of finding evidence of crime. Bill C-6 is the Canada Consumer Product Safety Bill. There is no home without consumer products so the Justice can issue a warrant if Health Canada is likely to find something that is regulated under the Act ie. Any consumer product!
They can use force.
They can confiscate our goods.
They have unlimited powers of search and seizure.
They can charge you for storing the property that they seized.
They can impose penalties.
They can destroy your property without a court order.
Anybody who is believed to have contravened a section of this act is deemed guilty by the minister NOT by a court. You are guilty until proven innocent. This act removes the Rule Of Law. We have the government, we have the courts and we have citizens… This act removes the courts and allows the government to intrude against its citizens. This is what wars and rebellions are fought over! No nation will possibly benefit from separating the people from their courts.
You are found guilty and have to prove yourself innocent before a minister. There is no court. The minister can confiscate your property and when you are found guilty it is the minister who gets to keep your confiscated property. This create a huge conflict of interest.
There is also a Notwithstanding clause of our charter of rights and freedoms that says that any right enjoyed by Canadian Citizens may be annulled temporarily for the good of the nation!
They can suspend civil rights because of the H1N1 Flu. This gives them the power to do mandatory mass vaccination campaign against the H1N1 flu.
These Vaccines contain toxic adjuvents that kill brain cells by causing chronic inflammation to the brain. Your body starts to attack and fight itself because of the poisons that are injected in the blood. Auto-immune disorders that are linked to vaccines are Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease and Gulf War Syndrome.
Health Canada will have the power to destroy the Natural Health Products. The consumer products products pose little risk to Canadian Citizens and yet the government will be given a lot of power to enforce costly, restrictive and intrusive legislation. Health Food Stores will be raided and products pulled off the shelves. The natural products that can help us get better and heal will disappear.
The big Pharma drug companies have great lobbyist in the parliament. These companies produce products that pose a lot of risk for the Canadian consumer including death. But the government does not have a lot legislative power to go after these big drug companies.
So not only are our rights and freedoms threatened, the natural health products that we use to make us healthy are at a risk of becoming endangered, but also organic foods and our backyard garden are also under attack (with codex alimentarius – yes it will affect Canadians by trade).
I urge everyone to write a letter to the Senators. I will be doing this this weekend and will post a copy of my letter here.
