[include file=get-in-itunes.html]Today we had a great conversation with Dr. Victor Zeines. If you have or know of anybody that has dental issues going on in their mouths, please pass this show on to them. Dr. Victor Zeines is truly a holistic dental practitioner of the highest degree. When doing research for this show I learned alot about this wonderful man. He's not just a dentist but somebody who truly understands life and health at a very deep level. For example here are some of the other areas of interest that Dr. Zeines has: hormones, obesity, living your life's purpose, politics, lyme disease, ozone and oxygen therapies, cancer prevention, metabolic syndromes, how the pharmaceutical industry works, optimal nutrition and live foods, spiritual evolution, mercury fillings, meridian and acupuncture points, reflexology and much more. Can you say your dentist is well versed in these issues as well? This is why I love natural doctors and holistic practitioners who have a passion for helping people instead of performing avoidable surgeries and pushing drugs and medications on their patients. In my opinion naturopathic doctors are light years ahead of traditional western medical doctors and it's a shame that people don't understand the body in a holistic way. In our culture everything is categorized and turned into a myopic discipline where the practitioners forget that the body works as an energetic whole instead of separate individual parts. This interview with Dr. Victor Zeines was a pleasure and he was a joy to have on. He shared many different herbal remedies to heal cavities, tooth decay and recending gums along with some essential oils that can help these conditions as well. There were a lot of nuggets in this show and we hope you really enjoyed it. If you are interested in this subject and would like to do some more research, I highly suggest a summit called The Healthy Mouth Summit by our friend Will Revak that will really empower you to take control of your oral health. I would also humbly suggest you take a look at the 3 ebooks that Dr. Zeines is offering as an exclusive bonus to Extreme Health Radio Listeners for an extremely reduced price. The three books (which you can read on your Kindle, iPad or other electronic devices) are called. Your Tongue Never Lies, Healthy Mouth Healthy Body and Living a Longer Life. Please check these out. Kate and I have all three of them and they come with patient guides as a bonus. - Get Notified:[ois skin="Show Page2"] - Please Subscribe: Subscribe To Our Radio Show For Updates! - Other Shows:[include file=show-links.html] | All Shows With This Guest - Show Date:Thursday 11/7/2013 - Show Guest:Dr. Victor Zeines - Guest Info:Dr. Zeines has been practicing Holistic Dentistry for the past 25 years. He received his degree from N.Y.C. College of Dentistry and completed an internship at the Eastman Dental Center in Rochester New York. Dr. Zeines always believed that dentistry needed to do more then just “fix teeth.” In 1980, he received a Masters in Science (Nutrition) from the University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, Connecticut. He received Fellowship Status from the Academy of General Dentistry in 1982. An early article by Dr. Zeines called “Nutritional Eases Dental Problems,” published in 1980, talks about the link regarding oral and systemic health.Read More... Today, there is increased understanding of the impact of oral health on the rest of the body. There is an increasing body of support for the multiple connections between oral health and total wellness. There are more links between the practice of medical dentistry and medicine then ever before. “We have always known that protecting the health of gums will help patients to keep not just their teeth, but their life,” says Dr. Zeines. Unhealthy gum tissue leads to chronic infection and inflammation – and that...

When Dr. Ellie was in private practice, she particularly enjoyed being able to remove the concerns of the fearful and the phobic. Says Dr. Ellie: "This system of care has allowed me to keep my own fillings in perfect condition for more than forty years. During this time I have never had a new cavity, filling, or other dental treatment, nor have I experienced sensitivity. I have had only one dental cleaning in the past twenty years. Without following traditional methods of dental care, my teeth have remained healthy, shiny, and cavity free."
