Holistic

Whether fashion, a favorite football team, or certain music, we enjoy being part of a group.  Is your urban tribe goth, surfer, hipster or biker, with the contrarian viewpoint that produces the most oxytocin from being holistic?

I'm 'coming out of the closet' and labeling myself as holistic by joining the HDA.

Need quick answers that educate while leaving the questioner smiling and curious.

What is different about a holistic dentist?

  It is like I'm no longer hypnotized, the 'chains' of my conventional training are gone.  

  I have stopped being an 'authority' and instead am asking lots of questions.  

  Instead of looking for one cause, I now consider the entire family as well as what and how we eat.  

  I also try to treat less toxically.

How do you view nutrition?

  Intent matters and variety is stimulating!

  Pleasure and happiness come first.  

  

  Brain and gut work together.  

  Help of bacteria is mandatory.  The food we eat feeds both biofilm and us.  

  

  We are more alert if not full. 

  Separating food into protein, fats and carbohydrates is arbitrary and inherently misleading. 

  Calories are measured in an oven and do not quantify the interplay with biofilm or metabolism.

  Excess sweet signals us to retain toxins and fat; sugar mechanically increases both pathogenicity and inflammatory response. 

  Bitter hones nuances of sweet and triggers alertness.  Bitter enhances digestion and induces epigenetic strengthening (hormesis). 

  

  Germination improves messaging, food quality and removes toxins. 

  Fermentation removes toxins and creates baking's magnetic aroma as well as sour and many tantalizing tastes.

Aren't you vegetarian?

  Only intermittently.  However, eating mostly vegetables benefits us and the world.  

  Fermented food is especially nourishing, and it breeds animals too tiny to see.  Seaweed is very nutritious, partly because it carries many microscopic   

 mollusks.  

  It turns out that mild stress 'is essential' and induces metabolic and genetic strengthening; we call this surprising response hormesis.  

  An assiduous vegan diet does not supply all 'essential' nutrients and is mildly stressful (inducing hormesis).

  Humans are fittest with a varied diet, and not eating occasionally, otherwise we become too soft and store toxins.

Why are you buying ice cream?

 My rational brain knows sugar is dangerous.  

 However, I am addicted (as you) to sweet ice cream, cookies, cakes and brownies as well as salty fried or baked chips amped with 'natural' flavors that include sugar and MSG.

Authoritative perspective is provided by Steven N. Green, DDS. 

He is a second-generation mercury-poisoned dentist (and Eagle Scout); a graduate with honors who was asked to publish and become a dental teacher. Dr. Green is former president of the HDA (Holistic Dental Association) and member of IAOMT (International Association of Medicine and Toxicology) as well as the functional medicine group and orthomolecular society.  He was also president of Miami's lay group, PATH (Positive Alternative Therapies in Healthcare).

He has formed courses about nutrition and toxicology plus a useful clinical way to evaluate risk quickly (with a lingual test).
