When I first read this book I was wowed. Every chapter was chocked full of valuable learning and insight and I consider myself a learned person. I was so wowed, I considered purchasing this book for several of my friends and family. However, in my journey to save my worn teeth, and with the passage of time, most of the tips/strategies I gathered from reading this book were not the tips/strategies/products that help me resolve my teeth/gum/bite issues. While the book is relatively inexpensive and well worth the price in that it was empowering and gave me hope; the majority of the products I purchased as a result of reading this book were costly and mostly ineffective, including and especially the products from Living Libations, the author's company. .
