Relief for Teething Babies

Quickly relieve teething pain and help your baby build strong healthy teeth at the same time.

Hello, my name is Israel Combs and I’m a retired natural health practitioner and herbalist from Colorado. Years ago I was a partner in a medical clinic in Denver where we also developed and tested natural products. One of the products we developed was a teething formula that eliminated the pain in minutes, but that’s not all it did, it also helped the baby build strong healthy teeth.

When your baby is teething, the misery is often so bad that you can almost feel the pain yourself. The fever, sore gums, drooling and crying are all because of one thing, the baby needs minerals to make those teeth. Since the baby’s body only carries a small quantity of these minerals in the fluids, the baby’s system must dissolve minerals from the bones and transport them through the blood to the newly forming teeth. Fever significantly speeds up the dissolving process, but it also creates a lot of inflammation. We were curious if there was another way? Mineral deficiency doesn’t just affect babies who are teething, it’s also one of the reasons there are so many children with cavities and mouth problems, as well as many other symptoms such as growing pains, cramps, muscle aches and shin splints, but as we learned in the clinic, it doesn’t have to be that way.

I have no cavities in my teeth. My brothers and sisters don’t have cavities, and my 6 children have strong healthy teeth with no cavities, but my parents had terrible teeth, and so did their parents. What changed? We were lucky in that our parents got interested in health before we were born, and they gave us proper mineral supplements at a very young age.

Teeth Are Minerals

Teeth are made from minerals, but not just any minerals, biological minerals. All minerals are natural, so don’t be fooled by that, but not all minerals are biological. Biological means the minerals came from a living plant or animal before you took them. The reason we mention this is, most mineral supplements on the market are not biological, they’re chelated metallic minerals from soil or stone and chelated metallic minerals do not work the same. This is because the molecules in chelated metallic minerals are too large to be absorbed on a cellular level. Plants fix that by breaking them down with the enzymes in their roots. Chelated metallic minerals can be recognized by their chelate names such as, citrate, as in “calcium citrate, aspartate, malate, bisglycinate, etc, etc. These are all chelates. While chelates have their purpose, making new teeth is not one of them.

At Better World Botanicals, we developed a Teething Formula 20 years ago that contained the full spectrum of biological minerals. It also contains herbs that support the baby's digestive system and others that help reduce pain. When we tested the formula, the results were spectacular! Babies would gulp down ten or twenty droppers and then within minutes get happy. The fever would disappear along with the runny nose and drooling. Every time the baby would get a little fussy, we had the parents give them more. It worked every time.

Our theory was, if the baby could get minerals through the digestive system instead of the bones, it might help the baby feel better. It worked better than we could have dreamed, and it was so fast! That wasn’t all. Parents later reported that their children who had received the teething formula rarely ever got cavities, and their checkups were always stellar.

I’ve always called my children “monkeys”, (wake up, monkeys, it’s breakfast time) so we called the product “Little Monkey Teething Formula”. Over the last 20 years there have been thousands of babies who breezed through the teething process because of this formula, and we continuously get lots of letters from parents who are happy because of it.

There is one more concern that we often get letters about. What if my baby’s teeth are already in but they are weak. Is there any hope for the adult teeth later on? The answer is, YES ABSOLUTELY! Making sure the child has plenty of biological minerals now will help them build strong adult teeth later. You will also help them avoid many other mineral deficiency conditions as their bodies grow.

I don’t want you to think the Better World Botanicals teething formula is your only option. While the Little Monkey Teething Formula was specifically formulated and tested for this, there are other products that are also good. Most liquid calcium and mineral supplements that are made from coral, hydroxy appetite, or algae calcium should help.

The teething formula isn’t the only thing we developed in the clinic. We also have great products for arthritis, prostate problems, hormone issues, weight loss, especially those with a big belly, Lyme’s disease, urinary troubles, sleep problems and many many others. If you’d like to talk further about something that concerns you, give us a call.
