African Licorice Sticks - 1 Lb - 100% Pure Licorice Sticks by HalalEveryDay

Our early ancestors didn’t brush… didn’t floss… didn’t get cavities. This is my “go to” line because it seems that the more we brush and floss and use fluoride, the more cavities we get. Obviously, brushing and flossing aren’t the answer, but don’t tell this to the multi-billion dollar dental industry (nor to the allopathic dentist). We all have the ability to remineralize our teeth… to withstand acidic insults… to arrest and resist decay. Nutrition giants Weston A. Price & May Mellanby published the data proving the vital importance that the fat soluble vitamins A, D and K play in tooth remineralization.Wife is a biological dentist (of 20 years)… I own a supplement company (yours truly). In fact, we developed a product together called “Tooth Restore” that is rich in vitamins A, D, K, magnesium, phosphorus (and others)… No, this is not a topical (nor) a toothpaste... it's food! This is not commercially available, nor does it need to be for people to glean the benefits, because as you know, nourishing food comes first.— Vitamins A, D, and K2 cooperate synergistically not only with each other, but also with essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, with dietary fat, and with key metabolic factors like thyroid hormone * —— Vitamins A, D, and K2 interact synergistically to support energy metabolism, immune health, provide for adequate growth, support strong bones and teeth, and protect soft tissues from calcification * —— Magnesium is required for the production of all proteins, including those that interact with vitamins A and D * —Grass Fed Beef Liver is high in real, preformed vitamin A. That said, if you are deficient in vitamin D, vitamin K2 and/or magnesium, you will not see as much benefit as you could (nor) will you be optimizing other important health metrics. Do you regularly get mid day sun exposure, or take a vitamin D3 supplement? Do you eat fermented veggies like kimchi or sauerkraut or take a vitamin K2 supplement? Do you take a magnesium supplement (I personally recommend a transdermal magnesium oil spray and oral supplementation because it's virtually impossible to get enough magnesium from diet alone).[ NOTE: Bone marrow is likely rich in vitamin K and the other fat-soluble nutrients, but formal tests to determine the range and amount remain to be carried out.[11] While smashing bones and sucking out the marrow fat was the hard way our ancestors obtained vitamin K, it's not that difficult to obtain marrow bones and either oven roast 3" pieces to serve as appetisers, or slow cook them to make them extra delicious / nutritious... or, look for a good bone marrow supplement! ]The take home message here is live life in harmony with nature, the way of our early ancestors… love your bone soups, look to liver, get sensible sun exposure, eat your fermented foods (natto reigns supreme) and mind your magnesium. If you want fresh breath, brush your teeth (see below). If you want oral health, nourish your body.People with periodontal issues (e.g. deep pockets, recurrent infection, bone loss/recession, etc) will also need additional support from whole bone extract (bone, marrow and cartilage), CoQ10 (or Beef Heart) and collagen. Ideally, we would consume these nourishing nutrients by indulging in the deliciousness of true bone broth, bone marrow and organ meats (heart is the richest source of CoQ10 that exists in nature). These additional nose-to-tail nutrients could easily be the missing link to the strength, energy and other health benefits that we are all after.P.S. For those that need intensive support to regain your dental strength and health, consider practicing a ketogenic diet as a "supplement" to everything above. Ketosis helps to deprive the bad bacteria of an energy source... less energy means less fermentation... means less acidic byproducts to demineralize teeth and bone (think recession)... Wife, the biological dentist, has been using this strategy with her patients for over a decade, way before it became "trendy!" It's also incredibly helpful to swish with sea salt water throughout the day, and especially after eating and drinking, to maintain a balanced pH. Lastly, Bovine Tracheal Cartilage (BTC) has proven to be incredibly helpful with treatment resistant conditions and wound healing (tons of peer reviewed studies on these topics). If you don't know about BTC, you need to because it works!- Ketogenic diet- Salt water rinses- Bovine Tracheal Cartilage (BTC)As far as brushing goes, by all means, do it when you feel like it... we recommend using a Bass brush (or) a chewing stick just like our early ancestors did which shows parallel, or even greater efficacy, as compared to standard brushing (see study). When we brush, we use a homemade concoction of bentonite clay, coconut oil, colloidal silver and sea salt with a dash of peppermint oil. There's even a commercial product out there by Uncle Harry's Natural Products that's very similar.SUPPLEMENT / FOOD SUMMARY FOR DENTAL HEALTH- Grass Fed Liver (and/or) Bovine Tracheal Cartilage- Grass Fed Bone Marrow- Magnesium... transdermal magnesium oil (by Ancient Minerals) applied to feet before bed and oral magnesium (by Trace Minerals; Mega Mag)- Vitamin D3 - get this from sensible sunshine or a supplement- Vitamin K2 - get this from fermented veggies, kimchi, sauerkraut or natto- Grass Fed Heart - get this if needing gum support too- Grass Fed Collagen - get this if needing gum support tooUPDATE:Don't forget to "Avoid Dangers, Like Our Early Ancestors Did." Wife also makes her patients turn off their wifi routers at night, leave their cell phones out of the bedroom and remove electrical devices within a 12 foot radius of the bed (one's pillow should also not be near a power outlet). If you can get away from bathing in non-native EMFs, health and healing has a better chance. Many times, all you need to do is use an EMF meter to see where the fields have biological implications and then re-position the offensive device... sometimes you may need to re-position your bed, chair or sitting area.

So I recently stopped smoking herb. I wanted to myself something that would help me overcome the psychological dependancy of putting hand to mouth. Taste is quite pleasant. I hate licorice candy, this is nothing close to it. What was unexpected was, it kept me from chewing tobacco. What I was surprised to find was the thinner sticks were sweeter and more flavorful. I just snap off a small piece and chew on it. Apparently it good for your teeth. Had to be better than chaw. I'll definitely be buying more. I like that I replaced a couple things with something natural. I didn't want to turn to a THC substitute. Today is 3 weeks and I feel great!It's a good value for the money, I suspect this will last me a long time. Just keep it dry. It will feel like a dry twig, but when the flavor and sweetness comes on you'll won't even mind. It comes in roughly 8 inch sticks, again I just break with my hands.

I get a clicky jaw only when I eat certain foods like bagels or pizza...still then it does not bother me, just a click without pain. I am a night time tooth grinder and day time clencher..... I tried these as soon as it arrived and after about 5 minutes, my jaw was painfully "locked" I could not open it much to even brush correctly. Thankfully, today, that has resolved.I wanted these for a few reasons. First, dental benefits being these reduce plaque and cavities. The price is great, the bag is huge, and the taste is tolerable. It tastes like a stick at first and then a mild sweetness. This will also help with digestion, heartburn, sore throat, smoking cessation. There are many benefits. My main goal was dental benefits for my son so I had to use them first myself. I will never be able to get my son to chew on this stick, ever. If you are interested in this primarily for the dental benefits, I have come across a lollipop and a hard candy with licorice root in it that will do the same thing called Loloz, here on Amazon so you may want to consider that.So this would be for adults only. Just watch out if you have any jaw problems as this may aggravate them. I did not get the clicking while I was chewing this, it just locked my jaw.

I chew these at work. It gives the same bolstering effect as chewing gum with the advantage that people come up to ask if you're smoking a cigar (or other things). Typically, I bring half of one in, and not long before my first break whatever side I've had in my mouth is soft enough I'll chew it a bit and then use it as a toothbrush. Maybe it's just me, but since I've quit using toothpaste and started using these, my teeth are a bit brighter and they've stopped breaking. Well, the breaking part is legitimate, it's not just me. But I think they're brighter. Either way, it works.The flavor varies by how deep you've gone. I used to wittle the bark off to get straight to that sweet cambium layer, but the bark has a nice walnut flavor. The only issue being that the bark falls apart to little pieces you gotta spit out. They will get a bit astringent after a while.Note: Do NOT just pull one out of the bag and try to bite through it. Or do, if you hate your teeth. Not my job to tell you how to operate a stick, I just want to warn you.
