  1. Stuff I do.. Lately after eating, I'll continually rinse out my mouth, ie gargle w/ water, repeatedly (3 or 4 times) til no little bits of food come out. I assume it's these little bits that turn acidic and hurt mouth health. Perhaps long rinsing also knocks down some of the acidic nature in the mouth for a little bit. Anyhow since I've been doing this I've gotten good dental reports. I use Sensodyne toothpaste. Otherwise my teeth are sensitive to hot and cold. This is controversial but at night after brushing I'll spit out the toothpaste and foam, but not rinse out, ie leave a thin coating on my teeth. To my mind it strengthens them. I'll often do Wim Hof breathing, an unique form of body stress that might turn on some good hormones. Likewise take cold showers In winter they'll get real. Why? Again, a unique form of stress that 'exercising' circulation and releasing some good hormones. Tracking my sleep w/ Oura Ring. It records sleep time and depth. Heart rate, temperature, movement.. using the data to plot to show how well you sleep. A nice tool for an insomniac like me. Best motivator to change something is to keep records of it. Any unusual health things you do??
  2. My father (59) got cancer

    Cancer is very frightening but depending on the type and spread, it's not necessarily the monster it used to be. It may be presumptuous of me to say but until you find out otherwise there is much room for hope. Yours Michael
