🦷 Dental Update — a few weeks in

We all have teeth — and at some point, most of us will have an issue. I’ve been honestly amazed by how helpful these simple steps have been, so I wanted to share an update.

I’m honestly amazed that my tooth is not in pain. That alone has given me confidence to slow down, observe, and support things intentionally.

For those who’ve asked what I’ve been doing, here’s what my routine looks like — nothing extreme, just consistent:

What I’ve been doing:
• Brushing with my Brush’em formula, focusing on supporting enamel, remineralization, and gum strength several times a day
• Using coconut oil (gently warmed) and swishing for a minute or two about once a week
• Water-picking nightly, adding a small amount of cayenne tincture to help stimulate circulation (tremendous helper to gum bleeders)
• Taking Complete Tissue, a formula traditionally known for supporting tissue repair and helping the body knit bone and connective tissue back together

What I’m noticing several weeks in:
• My gums are in much better condition
• I no longer feel the need to grab a toothpick after eating — food isn’t getting stuck like it used to daily
• That tells me inflammation has gone down and the teeth feel tighter
• The broken area of the tooth feels rougher, which to me suggests mineral activity rather than breakdown
• Overall, everything simply feels stronger and calmer

For additional context, when I first saw a dentist after the tooth broke, I was told I would need an implant for the broken tooth and that two other molars would likely need crowns. I’m not disputing that assessment — I just wasn’t in pain, which gave me time to pause, support my mouth intentionally, and seek a second opinion.

For now, I’m grateful for how much better everything feels. Until March 10 — I’ll share what I learn after my second opinion.

My turning point with root-cause healing

My journey didn’t start with a diagnosis.
It started with a cold sore.

I healed it overnight using a herb, simple support — something I’d been told wasn’t possible. That moment cracked the door open.

And the truth is, I wasn’t searching for healing.
It came to me — quietly, like a gift.

From there came everything in between:
infections that resolved without antibiotics,
a severe dog bite that healed without complication,
including a dog that underwent invasive procedures that didn’t work — it was simply food.

And eventually came a diagnosis I was told I’d live with forever.

By then, I understood something fundamental:

The body doesn’t randomly break. It responds.

When I focused on root cause — cleansing, nourishment, circulation, and removing what didn’t belong — healing stopped being mysterious. It became logical.

What began with one cold sore unfolded into a life reclaimed, including conquering MS naturally.

Only after that did formal training enter my life.
My schooling — awarded through a scholarship because of my healing journey — helped me deepen and refine what experience had already taught me.

Today, I’m committed to helping people and animals heal by honoring the body’s intelligence.

A quick note about what this group is really about.

I’m a Master Herbalist, and when people hear that, they often picture someone out picking herbs and weeds. I’m not against that at all — but where my real work (and honestly, my magic) comes in is putting everything into action.

Being a Master Herbalist is about understanding health challenges, building simple protocols, and applying herbs in a way that actually fits real life. That’s where I thrive — helping people connect the dots and figure out what works for their situation for People and Pets.

What I’ve found is this: whether the issue is big or small, the foundation is often the same — it just needs adjustments. Healing doesn’t need a pretty label, a big price tag, or an influencer behind it 😅

Broke half a molar before Christmas. Instead of panicking, I paid attention. What happened surprised me.

01/04/2026

I always thought dental issues were just how it goes — something breaks, you go to the dentist.

A few weeks ago, I broke half of a chewing molar right at Christmas, so waiting was the only option.

What’s happened since surprised me, and fast.

I don’t eat or drink much sugar anymore, but about a week after the break I bit into a cookie and felt an immediate ache. Not sharp pain, just a clear reaction. That alone showed me how directly sugar affects a compromised tooth and stirs up bacteria.

Instead of panicking, I started supporting the area. I used an herbal brushing formula (Brush’em) several times a day, gently worked the gums with coconut oil pulling, and supported circulation using a water flosser with diluted cayenne tincture.

What I noticed was no real pain aside from the cookie mishap, no gum bleeding or sore spots, gums feeling stronger within days, muted sensitivity to the point I even caught myself biting ice, and no need for toothpicks because food isn’t packing like it used to.

I don’t expect the tooth to regrow. I’m realistic. I’m simply observing what happens when the area is supported and sugar stays out of the picture. With dentists booked solid over the holidays, this bought me time, and stronger gums give a better foundation to work with.

What really makes me sad is this: years ago, I had two molars removed because the pain was unbearable, hot and cold and constant. In that moment, I didn’t care. I was just relieved the pain was gone. If I knew then what I know now, I truly believe I’d still have those teeth.

Have you ever looked back and thought… if only I knew sooner?

I finally put this together for anyone asking where to start.

Back to Basics — a gentle starting point.
No hype. No overwhelm. Just the foundation and what’s yet to come.

Fasting doesn’t have to be extreme, scary, or stressful.

It’s not about punishment or pushing your body too far.
It’s about giving your body a break so it can do what it already knows how to do — heal, reset, and rebalance.

Gentle fasting looks different for everyone.
And that’s exactly how it should be.

This is a longer post, but it explains how I got here.

Twenty-nine years ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and my health unraveled fast. More testing was done, more medications were prescribed — and the reality was, I just kept getting worse.

I didn’t go looking for this path.
I had to be pushed into it.

At first, it was the tap on the shoulder. I ignored it because there wasn’t any belief.
Then came the 2×4 over the head — stress, loss, and everything unraveling at once. I had been trained to believe the only way forward was to follow everyone else and keep looking outside myself for answers. I tried to find help locally, but no one could help me. So I started reading — constantly — because something in me knew there was more happening than what I was being told.

After that intense stress, I experienced healing the first time — which made no sense, because I had been told stress would only make things worse. I couldn’t explain it logically, but I knew there was more happening beneath the surface. About a year later, everything came back with a vengeance. I was ready to go back to the doctor, but they couldn’t get a hold of me in time. My health was getting worse, I wasn’t going to be able to work anymore, and I was desperate.

Fasting felt like too much, and taking drugs at the same time didn’t feel right. But I wasn’t getting help when I needed it, and I had no choice. So I fasted while waiting for an appointment. The healing I experienced in those five days was unbelievable — and that was the start of the journey. I canceled the rest of the appointments because I knew they were no longer necessary.

That’s where things started to unravel, in the best way. Not overnight, but enough that I could feel my body again and begin to understand how my body responds when given the chance.

That experience put me on a four-year journey to understand how all of this works — not just intellectually, but through sensation and response. Early on, I even gave a talk at a medical center, sharing my story as I understood it at the time. A couple of years later, after more fasting and learning, I saw there was a scholarship at Dr. Christopher’s School of Natural Healing. I applied and sent in my story, and they didn’t charge me a dime to become a Master Herbalist.

That’s where the circle closed for me. Not because I owe anything, but because none of this would exist without every step that came before it. Healing came first. The schooling came after.

What I’ve learned most is this: cleansing is the foundation. Without it, nothing else truly works the way it’s meant to. And this isn’t just for humans — animals respond the same way, because the foundation is the same.

I’m sharing this here because I know many are still searching — and sometimes the body knows the way long before the mind catches up. Natural healing isn’t complicated, but it does require a decision and a desired dedication. You have to make up your mind about what you’re willing to change and what you’re willing to consume. Once you do, the process itself can actually be very gentle and even pleasant. The hardest part is simply getting over that first hump.

You could never eat everything that goes into a juicer —
yet your body can still receive the nutrients as if you did.

This is why liquid nutrition matters when healing.

If you’re new to juicing, this carrot juice is a great place to start:
simple, palatable, and easy to stick with.
