0 Comments 08 April 2011

 Yesterday my children’s books arrived in a big truck. You should have seen me hopping around my office in delight after I held in my hands two of my very first books for children !

The first two copies went to my two grandchildren – Nic and Lily, Stephan's children. They are after a big surprise: the main characters in “A Gift from Little Bear” clearly resemble them both as well as their mother, Tasia (my daughter-in-Love.  I am very excited that the artists were able to capture the likeness.

You may order these books at our website.

A Gift from Little Bear is $7.95 (32 pages)

Fruits I Love is $8.95  (64 pages)

Fruits I Love is a book of delightful rhymes and whimsical drawings that will inspire any child to love fruits.

A Gift from Little Bear is an entertaining story accompanied by playful, authentic illustrations that convey a healthy message to children.

These books are also awailable at Amazon.com

 I hope your children will like my books and will ask for more fruits at the dinner time.

Love, Victoria Boutenko

Educate Your Dentist

5 Comments 14 March 2011

Several years ago, I started to have dental problems from not eating enough greens, lack of chewing and whatever other reasons. I found that it was difficult to find a holistic dentist who would cooperate with me, agree to use less toxic materials and not making fun of my unusual requests. 

I went from dentist to dentist and I was left feeling rather frustrated. Years went by and my dental health was continuously declining.  The dentists offered me treatment plans that I was not comfortable with due to my beliefs.   You might think that I am too picky, when in fact I am a very patient patient!   I had lots of unanswered questions and I needed the answers not only for myself and my family, but for my readers and followers.  Finally I decided not to look for any non-traditional, already alternative doctor, but find a young, ambitious, well-educated dentist that loves his work and does his job well.  This is how 5 years ago I walked into the office of Dr. Jared Anderson, who has been my dentist since then.

First I was attracted to the fact that Dr. Anderson is a graduate of 2 prestigious dental schools in the United States.  Most of all, it appealed to me that Dr. Anderson loves his dentistry and his patients more than anything in the world and he cannot hide it.  His office is overflowing with the finest pieces of equipment.  He proudly informed me that he doesn’t use Amalgam fillings and uses only the best materials and procedures that he is aware of.  I was already experienced in how to irritate dentists with my never-ending queries.  With Dr. Anderson, I tried to keep my mouth shut even when it was wide open!  Dr. Anderson appeared to be a curious young man.  When I presented him with my book “Green for Life” he read it, asked many questions and was brave enough to try a green smoothie.  Another time, Dr. Anderson tried my jaw exerciser for himself and gave me feedback.  I lent him some documentaries from my library.  He especially liked “The Beautiful Truth” about Gerson Institute and the role Mercury fillings play in human health. 

I asked Dr. Anderson why he doesn’t have Mercury fillings removal listed among his services. He explained that American Dental Association doesn’t officially recognize these fillings as harmful and strongly discourages advertising of their removal. That is why I am writing about that.

If you need to remove Mercury fillings and live not far from Oregon I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Anderson for this special task.  He has all the necessary skills and equipment for this procedure, including high volume suction and tooth isolation. Dr. Anderson’s phone is 541-488-5088.

You may also consider beginning to educate your own dentist by sharing your books and DVDs with them.  Keep in mind that at the dental school only 2 hours is given to studying nutrition.  I have even met dentists, who advised me that meat is good for teeth and sugar has nothing to do with cavities.  If the dental schools don’t have time to educate them, we can take the time to help our dentists understand nutrition better. 

Love, Victoria
