@findthetruth - yes, the dentist was supposed to be biological and they used a mouth dam. unfortunately that was about 5 years ago and my husband can't remember much except that he had three visits to the dentist and they sent him off telling him to take activated charcoal as a detox. Seems like a costly mistake, however we're just looking forward now and are determined to do this properly this time round.

@JK98 - re: licorice root - is there a preferred form (liquid/powder or capsule)in which to take this?

also, has anyone had any experience with taking bentonite clay & psyllium husks as part of the detox?

many thanks & take care all
