Book Description
CHEW ON THIS BUT DON'T SWALLOW A must-read before your next dental visit! Exposing the truth about common dental procedures: It's not what you have been told... Did you know that whole-body health, begins in your mouth? Many common dental procedures such as dental mercury amalgams, metal crowns, root canals, implants, and even braces, have been found to be a causative factor in many diseases that people around the globe are facing today, including cancer. CHEW ON THIS - BUT DON'T SWALLOW, was written not only for the layperson but also for any health care professional, who is interested in getting to the "root cause" of a disease, rather than just treating symptoms. After Dr. Blanche D. Grube, had been trained by and worked with, Dr. Hal Huggins (Renowned Author, of It's All In Your Head) for decades, they developed the Huggins-Grube Protocol, which includes doing a "Full Dental Revision". A Full Dental Revision is done by removing all toxic materials and replacing them, with biocompatible materials to restore the mouth, as holistically as possible. This is explained in great detail, and why the removal of mercury dental amalgam, is just the beginning. Dr. Blanche has taken all of her 40 plus years of research, continuing education, and clinical practice to share what she has learned, and observed about these conventional dental procedures, including "the safe, the harmful, and the outright dangerous"! From her personal experiences to actual case studies, to peer-reviewed scientific research, CHEW ON THIS - BUT DON'T SWALLOW, truly is, a must-read before your next dental visit.

Book Description
The New York Times bestseller by the author of the forthcoming novel Alice & Oliver | Winner of the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters | A New York Times Notable Book “One word: bravo.”—The New York Times Book Review “Truly powerful . . . Beautiful Children dazzles its readers on almost every page. . . . [Charles Bock] knows how to tug at your heart, and he knows how to make you laugh out loud, often on the same page, sometimes in the same sentence.”—Newsweek One Saturday night in Las Vegas, twelve-year-old Newell Ewing goes out with a friend and doesn’t come home. In the aftermath of his disappearance, his mother, Lorraine, makes daily pilgrimages to her son’s room and tortures herself with memories. Equally distraught, the boy’s father, Lincoln, finds himself wanting to comfort his wife even as he yearns for solace, a loving touch, any kind of intimacy. As the Ewings navigate the mystery of what’s become of their son, the circumstances surrounding Newell’s vanishing and other events on that same night reverberate through the lives of seemingly disconnected strangers: a comic book illustrator in town for a weekend of debauchery; a painfully shy and possibly disturbed young artist; a stripper who imagines moments from her life as if they were movie scenes; a bubbly teenage wiccan anarchist; a dangerous and scheming gutter punk; a band of misfit runaways. The people of Beautiful Children are “urban nomads,” each with a past to hide and a pain to nurture, every one of them searching for salvation and barreling toward destruction, weaving their way through a neon underworld of sex, drugs, and the spinning wheels of chance. In this masterly debut novel, Charles Bock mixes incandescent prose with devious humor to capture Las Vegas with unprecedented scope and nuance and to provide a glimpse into a microcosm of modern America. Beautiful Children is an odyssey of heartache and redemption heralding the arrival of a major new writer. Praise for Beautiful Children “Exceptional . . . This novel deserves to be read more than once because of the extraordinary importance of its subject matter.”—The Washington Post Book World “Magnificent . . . a hugely ambitious novel that succeeds . . . Beautiful Children manages to feel completely of its moment while remaining unaffected by literary trends. . . . Charles Bock is the real thing.”—The New Republic “A wildly satisfying and disturbing literary journey, led by an author of blazing talent.”—The Dallas Morning News “Wholly original—dirty, fast, and hypnotic. The sentences flicker and skip and whirl.”—Esquire “An anxious, angry, honest first novel filled with compassion and clarity . . . The language has a rhythm wholly its own—at moments it is stunning, near genius.”—A. M. Homes “From start to finish, Bock never stops tantalizing the reader.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Rich and compelling . . . captures the hallucinogenic setting like a fever dream.”—Los Angeles Times
