DENTAL, TEETH & GUM CARE

Below, you'll find the one-and-only go-to dental care product, which I've been using for 20+ YEARS, to brush my teeth and gums with. Seriously, they say a lot of our health problems originate in the mouth. Well, wouldn't it be wise to use the best dental care product you could find? Well, like I said, for 20+ years, I've been brushing my teeth with MySpecialSoap.com. Check this out ...

DAILY BRUSHING PRODUCT FOR → TEETH & GUMS

I Use MySpecialSoap.com

Listen up, for 20+ years, I've been brushing my teeth and gums with a very special soap. What's more, I've seen the dentist twice in 20+ years and have not had cavities, gum issues, enamel issues, etc. On top of that, I've eaten more chocolate chip cookies (and chocolate chips as a side treat) and more ice cream and berry pies and other sugary products than anyone you know combined! I indulge like such because I have an incurable sweet tooth (HAHA) and I have a metabolism that burns all those calories. Well, what does not benefit from those two traits of mine are my teeth and gums. To protect them, I need an amazing dental care product that works magic!

While I do have a rule for brushing my teeth (within 20 minutes) after every meal, there is no other dental, tooth-brushing product I would rather use on this planet than MySpecialSoap.com. I will boldly say, I have never used tooth paste in the past 20+ years as regular tooth paste STINKS!!!

I've introduced many of my friends and clients to MySpecialSoap.com and they love how it makes their teeth feel CLEANER, THICKER, STRONGER and their gums HEALTHIER. So, despite what some naysayers say about it tasting like soap and not the sweet peppermint, spearmint or citrus (among many other) flavors MySpecialSoap.com comes in, I'll brush my teeth with soap any day (and for the rest of my life) if I can avoid brushing with A.D.A.'s recommended fluoride crap caulk yuck tooth paste products they promote over-the-counter. They're bull in my personal experience and cannot touch the benefits MySpecialSoap.com gives you. 

MySpecialSoap.com comes in several flavors: Peppermint (my favorite), spearmint, citrus (another favorite), fennel-mint, citrus, cinnamon, ginger, plain, jane (no essential oils), dragon's blood, plain jane, dragon's blood with cinnamon, salty-mint, everything (super concentrated 1 ounce), and clove bud.

HAIR CARE / HAIR GROWTH PRODUCTS

When it comes to hair care, hair growth and helping to prevent hair loss, first, check out my FREE REPORT ON HAIR CARE & HAIR LOSS and then check out the following recommended hair care products below, which I've been using anywhere from 10-20+ years!

 NaturesPlus Ultra Hair Thick Shake - 1 lb, Hair Protein Shake - French Vanilla Flavor - Healthy Hair Growth Supplement With Vitamins & Minerals  NaturesPlus Ultra Hair Thick Shake - 1 lb, Hair Protein Shake - French Vanilla Flavor - Healthy Hair Growth Supplement With Vitamins & Minerals

I also use this product in conjunction with some other hair care / hair growth products (mentioned below) so that I don't over use the product, which lets me stretch the powder out over a month or two; you know, make it last because I don't use it every day. Anyhow, check out this product if you'd like to help grow healthy hair like I do. Again, I stand by this product immensely as I've been using it since the mid 90's.

NaturesPlus® Ultra Hair Thick Shake (French Vanilla Flavor)

Folks, I swear by this product. First of all, I've been using it since the 90's. Yes, 25+ years I've been using this product. If first found it at Mother's Market in Costa Mesa, CA on 17th street when that store was there. Now, they moved to 19th street and their original location is now a Sprouts store. Nonetheless, folks, if there's one product to get to help grow healthier, thicker hair, it's this product.

Ultra Hair is packed with all essential vitamins and nutrients that provide stronger and faster hair growth for men and women. Their formula offers a mega B-Complex with Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Folic Acid, L-Cysteine, and Vitamins A and C. This Hair Growth Shake also includes enzymes, amino acids, and essential oils.

 NaturesPlus Ultra Hair Thick Shake - 1 lb, Hair Protein Shake - French Vanilla Flavor - Healthy Hair Growth Supplement With Vitamins & Minerals

By the way, that photo above is a picture of all the latest empty cans I've kept to be able to take such a picture. I wanted to show you just how much I actually do love and use this product. Let's see, 12 canisters lasted me probably one year's worth or more of the powder. So, yeah, ROCK ON!!! I use this stuff! Imagine if I'd kept my first canister and every canister to date? That equal some approximately 300+ canisters I've purchased over 25+ years.

What I do is I'll have this shake 2-3 times per week. In fact, check out the actual recipe for that shake on this page of my cookbook here. Then, wait a day and the next day, your hair just looks healthier a bit fuller and well ... you're on your way to some healthy hair growth!

 NaturesPlus Ultra Hair Thick Shake - 1 lb, Hair Protein Shake - French Vanilla Flavor - Healthy Hair Growth Supplement With Vitamins & Minerals
Natures Plus Ultra Hair Tablets (Sustained Release, 60 Vegetarian Tablets, Natural Hair Growth Supplement for Men & Women, Longer, Thicker Hair)

FOR ME: I'll take these tablets 2x per day. One tablet in the morning and one tablet at night. Both with or before a meal of some kind. I like that it complements my drinking the hair shake 2-3x a week as well. So, you can just imagine how many vitamins, nutrients and minerals my hair is getting with the combination of these two products on a daily/weekly/monthly consumption basis.

HEALTHY HAIR GROWTH: Ultra Hair Plus with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is packed with all essential vitamins and nutrients that provide stronger and faster hair growth for men and women.

POWER INGREDIENTS: They've developed the ultimate natural hair formula that offers 500 mg of MSM, a mega B-Complex with 500 mg of Pantothenic Acid, 2,000 mcg of Biotin, 400 mcg of Folic Acid and 100 mg of L-Cysteine, and high potencies of Vitamins A and C.

BEAUTIFUL, FULLER HAIR: The properties of their ingredients promote healthier and stronger hair while the "Sustained Release Tablets" provide a gradual release of ingredients over a prolonged period of time during the day or night.

SERVING: 60 tablets provide 30 servings. I take one in the morning and one in the evening. Both times before or with food. 

CUSTOMERS SAY: The product works well and is pleasantly surprised with the results. They mention it's the best vitamins for healthy hair and helps slow down hair loss. Customers also mention it helps their hair grow really fast, become stronger, and thicker. They mention it makes their hair look better, shinier, and less prone to breakage. However, some customers have reported a pungent smell. Opinions are mixed on the size, with some saying they're slender in shape and not too large to swallow, while others say they're pretty big.

Hair Vitamins (Supports Hair Growth) Gummies (Biotin 5000mcg, Vitamin E & C)

Probably THE BEST TASTING hair care / growth gummy product on the market. I am not kidding you. If I could eat a handful of these or two or three in one sitting I would! Whoa! Like candy! But, reality hits in and this is a vitamin supplement and you can't do dat! 


So, here it is folks, my favorite Hair vitamin gummy that helps support healthy hair care and growth. You know, when I chew one of these gummies, I can feel it working on my hair already! So, give it a try. They're so inexpensive too. 

 NaturesPlus Ultra Hair Thick Shake - 1 lb, Hair Protein Shake - French Vanilla Flavor - Healthy Hair Growth Supplement With Vitamins & Minerals

Just like the photo above of all those hair shake canisters, the above photo shows some of the empty bottles I've kept around to take a picture of this product, which I absolutely love. I want you to know I didn't get some endorsement from this company to promote this product. No. I actually do use this product A LOT and all on my own. So, rock on wit dat!

What's more, I like to alternate taking this hair gummy product every other day all while having a hair shake on alternative days to help mix up the hair products I consume. Make sense? Plus, it stretches out the product quantity over 45-60 days, which is cool.

Natrol Biotin Beauty (Promotes Healthy Hair, Skin & Nails. Qty. 100 (No-Flavor) Fast Dissolving 10,000mcg Tablets)

This is a dry, no-taste, Biotin tablet that you can literally chew and let dissolve in your mouth (and under the tongue) for best absorption and impact on the hair.

Now, while I prefer this tablet (no-taste/flavor), there is a strawberry flavored version of this tablet that tastes like a sweet tart, candy-like (Biotin) tablet, and I'm not kidding. Still, use restraint because these particular Biotin tablets taste like those sweet tart candies. (HAHA)

Anyhow, yes, I've taken these on and off for a very long time too. You can see, with the variety of hair care supplements and shake powders I take, I can make all of these products last me 60-90 days or more.

With these tablets, it's best to take them on an empty stomach and chew them completely and let them absorb completely orally. I've tried other Biotin tablets and this company makes the best.

KONIC 3-in-1 Vibrating Hair Growth Brush Scalp Massager Hair Regrowth & Detangling Brush

In addition to what you ingest into your body when it comes to hair care supplements, nutrients and vitamins, it's also vital that your scalp get stimulation and blood flow circulation with the help of a vibrating or massaging hair brush. I've used these for decades and they certainly do help stimulate blood flow to the scalp which carries all those nutrients, vitamins and minerals you just took.

Hot New Electric Vibrating Hair Brush Comb Massager

This brush takes two (2) AA batteries. Once your massaging hair brush is ready to go, massage your scalp with it for a few minutes each day. Massage the top, sides and front of your scalp. Then, repeat this for weeks, months, years on end and watch your scalp condition improve so your hair can grow, grow back, stay healthy, you name it. I've been using these massaging hair brushes for 25+ years. 

PURCHASING TIP: Buy a few of these at a time, if you can afford to do so. Over time, let's say a year or so, like all brushes, they get worn out and need replacing. So, because you'll already have a few on hand, you won't need to order them again and be without one. Make sense?

Renpure Biotin & Collagen Thickening Hair Shampoo for All Hair Types (For Men and Women)

This is a great biotin shampoo to add in conjunction with your regular shampoo and conditioner you might also use. Use this one first, then proceed to your other shampoo and conditioner.

Renpure Biotin & Collagen Thickening Shampoo is infused with nutrients to help fine hair look and feel thicker and fuller.

Their Biotin & Collagen Shampoo contains a blend of Vitamin B7 (Biotin) and protein (Collagen), created to give you the appearance of full, healthy-looking hair. Also, about this item:

✓ ZERO Sulfates, Parabens, Dyes, Gluten, Phthalates, Propylene Glycol, pH Balanced ...

✓ Bottle made from recycled plastic ...

✓ Animal test-free (PETA)* ...

✓ With 95% Plant-Based and naturally derived ingredients ...

  • Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo & Conditioner

    So, after YEARS of using another holistic brand shampoo (last ordered in 2013 on Amazon), and conditioner (last ordered in 2014 on Amazon), and seeing them be discontinued to date, at the time, I went on the hunt for their replacements. For me, what I found was at your local Trader Joe's store. It's their:

  • TJ’s Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo

  • TJ’s Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner

  • I know everyone's hair is different, but for me, these were the best shampoo and conditioner when it came to replacing what I had been using for 10+ years. Don't you hate it when your favorite product(s) stops getting distributed? That's what happened to the original shampoo and conditioner I was using. Joking aside, people used to tell me my hair looked so healthy and those who got close to touch it (HAHA) never felt hair so soft. So, go figure!

    Well, if you have a Trader Joe's in your area, head on over and pick up one of each and try them. No matter what you decide, just be sure your shampoo and conditioner is laureth sulphate free. Typically, those chemicals are found in all shampoos and conditioners sold over-the-counter at grocery stores, drug stores and salons. Stay away from those types of shampoos. They'll do more damage to your hair than anything else.

    SKIN CARE & ANTI-AGING

    Now, while my skin care is quite simple, being a guy, I would like to mention these two facial skin-care products I use that are super inexpensive, and yet ultra amazing when it comes to what they do for your skin. Check this out ...

    Kracie, Naive, Face Wash (Peach) (Walmart) Kracie, Naive, Face Wash (Peach) (Amazon) Kracie, Naive, Face Wash (Peach) (Other Websites)

    I've been using this face wash foaming soap since the 1990s THAT'S how good it is. Leaves your face feeling clean and refreshed. This foaming face wash is made from 100% plant ingredients and removes all kinds of dirt from the pores and hydrates skin with peach leaf extract. The pleasant peach scent invigorates the senses. Free from parabens, mineral oils, alcohol and colorings.

    I first discovered this product while shopping at the Japanese markets in Costa Mesa, CA for many of the ingredients in may of my Asian dishes. Once I tried it, I never looked back. Love this stuff. Always keep some on hand and never like to run out.

    You can order it on Amazon if that's convenient for you, or you can find it in many Japanese grocery stores in the skin care sections or on other websites that sell it. 

    Tree of Life POWER TRIO for Brightening, Firming & Hydrating - Vitamin C Serum, Retinol Serum & Hyaluronic Acid (Smoothes & Hydrates Skin - Reduces Dark Spots, Fine Lines, & Wrinkles)

    Another amazing facial skin care product that leaves your face smoother than smooth! I'll use each of these serums alternatively every other day. I really do make this bundle last 2-3 months sometimes. 

    Simply use the Vitamin C Serum followed by the Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the morning to visibly brighten, reduce dark spots, smooth, and hydrate the skin. Use the Retinol Serum followed by the Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the evening to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fade the look of age spots, support elasticity, and soothe the skin.

    With 69,200+ 4.4 ★ Amazon reviews, I think it's easy to see thousands of others have also found great success with this skin-care product. I hope you will too. 

    Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion
    (Amazon.com Search Results)

    Believe it or not, my Mom turned me on to this product. About 15+ years ago, I started using it every other day or so (on my face) and before you know it, to date, people ask me why my face looks so smooth. Well, I owe it a lot to drinking a lot of water, eating well, working out and using Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion. 

    What's nice is that Purpose comes with a built-in sunscreen (SPF 10) for what it's worth. I also apply this same lotion to my neck as well to help smooth that part of the body too. What's more, check out the 4.8 start rating on this product on amazon among 780-2,249 reviewers. That says a lot right there, eh? No doubt, those people are experiencing the same results I am.

    Lastly, the best part? Purpose is super affordable. You can also find Purpose on Walmart.com if you order it online. So, of course, shop around for the best price that meets your budget. I know for me, I'll order 2 or more in a pack to save money.

    CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Dry Skin (Alternative)
    Trader Joe's Honey Mango Moisturizing Shave Cream with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E (Amazon.com)

    My favorite go-to shaving cream. Not much needs to be said about this Trader Joe's brand of shaving cream (made for both men and women).

    I've been using Trader Joe's Honey Mango Moisturizing Shave Cream with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E for 20+ years. Tried other brands, but I keep returning to this one.

    Because Trader Joe's doesn't sell anything online from their website, TraderJoes.com, I just linked to Amazon so you can read about it. If you have a Trader Joe's store in your area, just drive there and buy it off the shelf. At the store, it costs about $4 (+/-) per container. Not bad at all. I usually buy two at a time when I'm there. 

    If you must know, when I condition my hair with their Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner, that's when I'll shave (in the shower). Convenient and multi-tasking at its best. (HAHA) Hey, hope it helps.

    DERMA-E Vitamin E 12,000 IU Multi-purpose Face Cream, Hand Cream & Body Lotion Soothes & (4 oz) (Amazon.com)

    This is a great body lotion you can use for your skin and all over.

    INTENSIVE MOISTURIZER FOR FACE & BODY: This DERMA E multi-purpose Vitamin E Cream works as a facial moisturizer, replenishing hand cream and soothing body lotion, all in one potent, fast-absorbing formula.

    ALL NATURAL FORMULA: The vegan face cream is enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E (12,000 IU) which naturally hydrates and soothes dry, flaky skin, calms irritation and supports the skin barrier. The Vitamin E moisturizing cream shields the face and body and protects them from free radical damage.

    Kirkland Signature Whey Protein, Creamy Chocolate(5.4lbs)

    Wow, talk about having a true chocolate shake for breakfast, lunch, snack, before/after workout or even DINNER! I was very impressed with this "CREAMY CHOCOLATE" flavored protein powder from Costo's Kirkland brand.

    Even if you just add ice, water (or milk product of your choice) and a banana (optional), this powder makes for one tasty shake that tastes too good to be good for you! Seriously!

  • Mix 1 scoop (35g) in 6 to 8 fl. oz. of water or milk product and shake or blend to your liking. For best results, consume post workout or as a protein-fueled snack at any time.

  • Real quick, regarding the price for this Kirkland Whey Protein product (=$54.99-ish), if you average out what the other brands offer when it comes to amount (weight) you get, % daily value plus other values that appeal to you, while the price seems high, it actually evens out. The only problem is, this stuff is really good (in my opinion), which means you might run out of it sooner because it's so good tasting! Milk chocolate shake fans beware! ;-)))

    TEAS FOR LUNG, RESPIRATORY & IMMUNE FUNCTION

    Do you have a COUGH THAT JUST WON'T GO AWAY? I tried everything from lung supplements, cough drops, dietary changes, liquid extracts, exercise, and other holistic approaches and NOTHING seemed to work. I certainly didn't want to get on any doctor prescribed meds or go that route. I wanted to fix this myself. Then, one day, my prayers were answered. Mom had left some certain teas at my house. I was desperate. So? I tried a cup of tea. ;-)

    Being that I'm not a tea drinker at all, I don't drink coffee either, I tried a few teas that were specific for promoting lung, immunity and respiratory health. What I stumbled onto was by "overdosing" on these teas they really helped me! My cough went away by 80%. Friends and family noticed I wasn't coughing when we met or did Zoom calls. I have to say, not coughing all day/night long (and for months on end) is a huge relief especially when it comes to your throat, lungs and just feeling better.

    Well, I kicked this tea drinking phase into overdrive and got serious! What I do is make a few cups of tea per day, which contain a combination of four (4) of the following teas you see below. Specifically, I'll use my (#1) electric tea kettle to boil two (2) 16 oz. bottles of water at once. Then, (#2) I'll grab 6-8 tea bags (you see below) from my tea station organizer countertop storage because I'm essentially making two cups of tea. (So, 4 bags x 2 cups = 8 bags.) I'll then (#3) load up my tea maker / pitcher with 6-8 bags of tea to serve two (2) cups of tea through my morning, afternoon or evening tea drinking session. Yes, I'll make and drink 2 cups of tea in the morning, afternoon and evening. 

    I've also noticed I don't drink as much water when I drink tea as I'm getting my water intake from the teas. Plus, I love that the teas are natural, herbal, water-based, the nutrients of the herbs starts working immediately in my system; I don't have to wait for pills to take effect once swallowed, etc.

    TEA MAKING APPLIANCES & MUGS

    Remember to get my (#1) electric tea kettle to boil water (within minutes) and ever so conveniently. Forget the stove and boiling water in a pot or kettle. That's so 1800's. Then, (#2) get a tea station organizer countertop storage like I've got. Then, (#3) get this specific tea maker / pitcher. If you don't have mugs, (#4) get yourself two or more of these glass mugs from either Amazon or the Dollar Tree store. Don't spend a lot of money on buying mugs. Go to a Dollar store near you and buy them for a $1.25 or so per mug.

  • NOW® WHOLE Psyllium Husk (24-Ounce) NOW® Psyllium Husk POWDER (24-Ounce)

    If you want to increase your fiber intake like I do, then here's a great product to incorporate into your dietary regimen. Keep in mind, they have two versions: (1) the WHOLE psyllium husk version which consists of white flakes of psyllium husk, and (2) the POWDERED version which is like a ground powdered version. I like both, but prefer #1 the WHOLE husk version because of it's taste.

    DIRECTIONS
    : FOR ME, I choose to:

  • Take this product 2-3x per week, in the morning, and on an empty stomach. I might eat an apple afterwards for something to eat, but I won't eat much if at all for 4-6 hours after I consume this product. I want it to do its job without it competing with a heavy meal, if that makes sense.

  • Mix 1 tablespoon (for us guys; for ladies, one teaspoon might be plenty) into 6 oz. of room temperature bottled water. I use a plastic funnel filter to pour the powder easily into the bottle in seconds. Then, screw on the bottle's top after pouring the powder into the bottle, shake/mix quickly and consume immediately. I say 6 oz. because you can drink 6 oz. faster than 12 oz.

  • Note, psyllium husk powder solidifies fast in water. So, it's best to drink this water+husk combination in small dosages (i.e., 6 oz. vs. 12 oz.). Make sense?

  • If you wait to drink the mixture of water and husk, then it gets too thick to drink and you have to toss it away and start anew. If you drink it right way then it’s really easy to drink and it has no real taste to it. 

  • Nature's Answer Enchinacea & Goldenseal | Supports a Healthy Immune System | Super Concentrated Pure Extract (Alcohol-Free, Gluten-Free, Vegan & Kosher Certified 1oz)

    Feeling a little under the weather? Need a pick-me-up to help boost your immune system? This is a great go-to product for just that! Great if you've got a cold, the flu, or anything of that nature. It can even help you breath better. I used it when my lungs weren't at their best for a stint. Here's what I do with it:

  • I'll mix 2-3 drops of the liquid serum into 6 oz. of cold bottled water. Shake or mix the two and drink it up. Within a half hour, you might start feeling the benefits for hours to come like I do. 

  • It's okay to take this product 2-3x weekly to improve your immune system.

  • Christopher's Original Formulas Lung Plus Bronchial Supplement (2 Fluid Ounce)

    This is a great respiratory (lung) serum which I've used with great satisfaction. 

  • I'll mix 2-3 drops of the this Lung & Bronchial formula into 6 oz. of cold bottled water. Shake or mix the two and drink it up. Within a half hour, you might start feeling the benefits for hours to come like I do. 

  • For me, I also like to mix it with Nature's Answer Echinacea & Goldenseal liquid extract to double up an awesome combo to aid both my lungs and immune system at the same time. Again, I'll mix both liquid extracts in the same 6 oz. of cold bottled water. Mix 'em quickly and drink it up. 

  • Gaia Herbs Bronchial Wellness Syrup - Immune Support Supplement to Help Maintain Lung Health and Help Provide Comfort for Occasional Sore Throat (5.4 Fl Oz; 30-Day Supply)

    Soar throat? Cough a lot? Got respiratory or breathing issues? Try this! When I had those symptoms, I looked online and found this product on Amazon.com.

    Whoa! A real game changer. I even recommended it to some friends who weren't feeling that well either. They loved it and ordered it for themselves. So:

  • Instead of buying Nyquil, Robitussin or some other over-the-counter chemical laden cough suppressant product sold at your local drug store, try this herbal supplement instead. 

  • For me, I'll take 1-2 tablespoons when I'm not feeling my best. Provides a good 4-8 hour relief. Combine it with the Nature's Answer Echinacea & Goldenseal and Christopher's Original Formulas Lung Plus Bronchial Supplement liquid extracts to really give your body the kick it needs in the right direction where you health is related. See what this combo does for you. I hope it helps.
