Diet
Cod liver oil has been used as a supplement to improve health in children for years and has lots of vitamins and other elements that you do not get readily in many foods.(Carlson Cod liver oil has been recommend by some because of the balanced vitamin A ratios).
Other natural virgin oils can aid in health. Fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and whole and unrefined foods is essential.
Fish and sea food (You need to consider contaminates in the Gulf of Mexico and the Fukushima Pacific Ocean).
Liver and other organ meats of naturally fed animals.
MilkWhole unpasteurized from grass fed cows or goats.
Eggs from free ranging naturally fed chickens.
Potatoes , carrots and other vegetables organically grown.
Meat - beef and lamb - naturally fed animals.
Cheese from whole milk and naturally fed animals animals.
Bone Marrow soups more of those natural oils cooked at low temperatures with other vegetables.
Stewed fruits cooked at low temperatures (154 degrees) with barley malt to help break down sugars.
Fresh salads including wild greens and not just head lettuce.
Cocoa made with whole milk either unsweetened or only use natural sweeteners. Do not over heat milk.
Horsetail (equisetum arvense) (may be an important herb that could accelerate the bodies production of enamel. The plant has a long history of medicinal uses, although modern sources include caution. A theory called "biological transmutation" suggests that horsetail is possibly a highly effective calcium supplement.(Horsetail needs more study to determine potential problems. The European Food Safety Authority issued a report assessing its medicinal uses in 2009.)
Focus Foods
Foods to focus on are:
• Coconut oil, grass-fed organic dairy (especially butter), grass-fed meats, seafood and bone broths. • Organic cooked vegetables (soups with bone broth are ideal). • Organ and gland meats, like liver.
Supplements to consider are:
• Fermented cod liver oil – very high in fat soluble vitamins A, D and K. • Magnesium – required to use calcium and phosphorous effectively. • Gelatin – if you don’t have time to make bone broth, this is a good alternative and is great for gums and digestion.
Foods to avoid
Stop eating over processed life-depleting foods.
Eat As Close to Nature As Possible Eating healthy is about eating enzymes, vitamins and mineral dense foods, regularly.
Avoid - It is important not to cheat here:
Foods that are high in phytic acid, like grains, beans, nuts and seeds, as well as limiting processed food intake full of processed flours and sugars that upset blood sugar balance.
- Sugar – White Sugar, Brown Sugar, Organic Sugar, Evaporated Cane Juice, Corn Syrup (almost all are GMO), Commercial Jams
- Flour & Grain Products – White Flour, Wheat Flour, Organic Flour, any unsoaked grain products (bread made from sprouted grains and slow rise bread yeasts are best). Examples: bread, crackers, cookies, doughnuts, breakfast cereals, muffins, pastries, tortillas, bagels, and sandwiches (Most store-bought flour products even from the health food store, or labeled organic need to be avoided.)
- Hydrogenated Oils - margarine and corn oil, vegetable oil, soybean oil, crisco, canola, and safflower and any GMO produced oil.
- Modern fast food.
- Soymilk (almost all are GMO), protein powder, and excess tofu.
Pasteurized milk, even if it is organic.

Vegan Diet
People may develop dental health problems because of a vegan diet. Vegan diets have cleansing benefits. They can allow the digestive system to relax. But they are not building, nor are they sustaining. People feel good on a vegan diet because of the cleaning and detoxification benefits. But after the cleanse, one needs to build and sustain.

Orthodontics?
"A man is responsible for his own face after age 40" (or words to that effect) - Abraham Lincoln (attributed)
It has been shown that whatever teeth aligning course you embark upon, without assessing and addressing any mouth breathing (to include: lips generally being carried apart [even just a bit], lips not coming together in talking, etc.), that that alignment will regress, and that the face/skull becomes malformed to varying degrees - and almost certainly will be accompanied with the associated host of life-long, ever-increasing, breathing related health issues which, in turn, are generally always passed throughout one's generations as those so malformed are attracted to and by others who are themselves so malformed.
I was introduced to, and have been revisiting, breathing since I first began developing my martial arts philosophy in my early teens, and have had cause over the decades to revisit breathing as I stumble upon new pieces of this puzzle; or as the needs of others arise. And although I did not come to this knowledge for teeth straightening purposes, the things I've posted in this section represent an aspect of my ancillary findings supporting my position of breathing's powerful effect on our overall health, and the overall health of our children and our future generations' overall health. It is offered here for you to make up your own mind about, and to do with yourself, and to pass on, as you see fit. - Nitsan-Parach

Public Water Systems Nationwide
Radium contamination; zip code interactive map search for
(Note: After entering your zip or just zooming in as close as the map gets to your area, be sure to click on your actual "dot" to verify whether your city is in fact the one associated with that particular dot [can be tricky as the map doesn't zoom in for pinpoint accuracy, and so some dots are rather small]. For example, the city 7 miles north of me is named on the map, but the "dot" is located on the wrong side of a major waterway, and, when I clicked on it, the name came up of the water system that serves the town/district that I know to be on that other side of the waterway.)
The EPA's Web site - Provides directions for finding out more information about your drinking water.
(Note: The Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) contains information about public water systems and their violations of EPA's drinking water regulations, as reported to EPA by the states. These regulations establish maximum contaminant levels, treatment techniques, and monitoring and reporting requirements to ensure that water systems provide safe water to their customers. This search will help you to find your drinking water supplier and view its violations and enforcement history since 1993.)
