"""This book is an indispensable tool in the pursuit of health. Just read it. You won’t be sorry.""~Ty Bollinger, author and Founder of The Truth About Cancer and The Truth About Vaccines “Matters of the Mouth leaves no stone unturned when it comes to revealing the secrets to living a healthy lifestyle for optimal health. This book has all of the answers you need; everyone should read it.” ~Kristin Cavallari, TV personality, entrepreneur, and mother of three   “Matters of the Mouth finally connects all the dots of holistic health. If you are looking for a comprehensive book that addresses the multitude of health issue’s we all face, especially the conditions of the mouth which are commonly ignored, this book is for you. The mouth can be the root cause of so many illnesses and many practitioners, even holistic ones, are not aware of how deeply your oral health is connected to your overall well-being. This book goes much deeper than your typical book about natural oral care. The book not only opened my eyes to the complexity of cellular health, it explained everything in a way that was easy to understand! Dr. Thom doesn't just tell you all the problems like many other health books out there, he gives you solutions to start changing your health. Solutions you can start applying immediately. This book is a must have for understanding how optimal health is achieved and maintained so that we can live our lives to the fullest! A must-buy!!”~ Courtland Nall, RDH, IBDM, Holistic Hygienist   “Dr. Thom understands that the mouth is the doorway to our health, and that inflammation and nutrition aren’t important just for the body, but also for our dental health. He practices mercury-free dentistry, and leads patients in a full detox protocol before and after removing their mercury fillings. Dr. Thom is one of the cutting-edge leaders in the natural dentist movement. That is why I have endorsed him as one of the top 50 Functional & Integrative Medical Doctors in America.” ~ Dr. Josh Axe, DNM, DC, CNS, Founder of Ancient Nutrition ""As longtime patients of Dr. Thom, my family and I have experienced firsthand his knowledge and expertise in the field of Holistic and Biological dentistry. Matters of the Mouth will be your guide to transform the health of your teeth and gums which can lead to a lifetime of 'whole body' wellness.”~Jordan Rubin, Founder of Garden of Life and Ancient Nutrition, New York Times bestselling author of The Maker’s Diet   “If the eyes are a gateway to the soul, the mouth is the gateway to physical health. No one clarifies this elusive truth better than Dr. Thom Lokensgard.  Matters of the Mouth is a comprehensive health how-to for our times, making the ironic connection between mainstream medicine and modern disease, not only in terms of dentistry, but whole- body health. Dr. Lokensgard lifts the veil to help the reader realize the delicate intricacies and interconnections of the mouth as a circuit breaker for the entire body and thus the awesome, personal responsibility we assume with our choices. Matters of the Mouth encapsulates the inescapable reality that what we allow into our mouth — both dental work or nutrition — is a two-edged sword, helping or harming us with every bite.” ~ Scott Laird, NDFounder of LairdWellness.com and host of The Health Awakening podcast   ""Having entrenched myself in the world of natural wellness and healing, I knew to prioritize a search for the best holistic dentist when moving to the Nashville area with my family. I couldn’t turn the corner without hearing the name Dr. Thomas Lokensgard. I have had the great honor of speaking at many health and wellness events with Dr. Thom (as we affectionately call him).  I have an entire notebook filled with manic scribbles just trying to capture any bits I could of his extensive knowledge, practices and protocols. So, imagine, if you will, my extreme glee as I plunged headfirst into his manuscript. The title Matters of the Mouth doesn’t do the book’s contents justice.  It should be called All Matters of Every Aspect of Health!  Dr. Thom’s unique approach to wellness, healing, rejuvenation and anti-aging is a game changer. Matters of the Mouth is not to be missed… It’s to be read and re-read and highlighted and underlined with notes taken in the margins.""~Leigh-Allyn Baker, actress and  health advocate   “Dr. Lokensgard’s mastery of the full gamut of issues that can influence and restore human health is beautifully presented in Matters of the Mouth. In this day and age, it is of unique importance to those who find themselves conflicted on one of the world’s most important issues; to continue to follow mainstream medicine’s promotion of pharmaceutically-induced illusions of health, or to take responsibility and control of your own health. The reader will learn ways to decrease their chances of getting sick, and ways to screen health practitioners to insure they are using the powerful healing principles of Biological Medicine and Dentistry, natural methods that work to restore true lasting health.  Matters of the Mouth is an informative read for both the layperson and healthcare professionals.” ~David A. Jernigan, B.Sc.Nutrition, D.N.M., D.C.,Biologix Center for Optimum Health"
