$39 for Home Teeth Whitening Kit from Smiling Bright ($179 Value)
Get the same technology that dental professionals use for a set of painlessly DIY pearly whites! Got a wedding or job interview coming up? If you’re looking to brighten that smile for the big event, it usually means going to the dentist for costly, time-consuming whitening sessions. Or you can try some of the home applications sold in drugstores – but those treatments are weaker than those you’ll find at a dental office. That’s why this deal with Smiling Bright is so great: You get its X Cell Erator home whitening kit containing the same products that Smiling Bright clinics use on their customers – a $179 value – for only $39! You’ll save over 75 percent, and you won’t have to set foot into a dental office!

Don’t Wait. Vaccinate.
Vaccines are the most effective way to protect children, teens, adults and seniors against serious disease. They also help stop the spread of highly contagious disease in our schools and community, like whooping cough and the flu. It’s easy to find out which vaccines are right for you or your loved ones by calling your doctor or clinic. But for everyone’s health and well-being, don’t wait.

“Earthing” – connecting with the Earth – potential treatment for Autism
Since time immemorial, man has been connected to the earth. Working in fields or gardening, walking barefoot on beaches, or sleeping under the stars are all activities that link us to the natural, electrical energy of the earth’s surface. Dr. John Green (working with children with autism, specializing in environmental health and immunology) said, “I think earthing will prove helpful with sleep quality in some of the sleep disturbed children and may in the longer term help with [the huge factor of] oxidative stress.”

‘Umming’ and ‘ahhing’ parents help their babies learn to speak, scientists claim
Also, children between 7 – 16 months who watched educational DVDs knew fewer words and phrases than their peers, and by sitting in front of TV, youngsters missed out on playing with their parents, other children, and their toys; each hour they watched per day equated to 6 fewer vocabulary words.
