A very nice lady at Sensishield wrote back to me this morning. Not only did she say that they saw no reason why (under careful use and parental guidance) the toothpaste wouldn’t be detrimental to Eliza, but she also offered to send some complimentary tubes to my mother-in-law in advance of her visit next week! Very, very kind.
In other news, I am seeing no further evidence of decay on Eliza’s teeth. Her gums are looking much better. Over the last two weeks the gums above her top two right teeth had bled from time to time (not sure if it was the use of acidity of the hydrogen peroxide, or the abbrasion of baking soda, or the brushing itself, or simply inflamed and unhealthy gums).
We bought some yoghurt for her, in the hope that an oral injection of good bacteria might add to our fighting efforts. Unfortunately, she’s not interested in yoghurt.
This Friday will be two weeks that Eliza has been on her homeopathic medication and Cod Liver Oil.
Frank’s mother suggesting using Flax Seed Oil as a vegetarian alternative to the CLO … but I paid $26 for the CLO, it tastes of lemon (more chemicals, I know … but at least she doesn’t spit it out!!), and I’m going to finish it before I buy anything else.
I bought some Purslane seeds to plant this year. Purslane is rich in Omega 3 and fat-soluble vitamins A and E.
With any luck, the CLO will take us through to a rich summer supply of Purslane.
