• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My wife, Linda, is having severe TMJ ( pain in her jaw) symptoms. She also has gum disease and has an intensive treatment which aggravates her TMJ. Please pray for her.

Am praying that God will bless you and keep you -- I pray that his angels and Holy Spirit will bring healing in the name of Jesus.

I have had some issues in the past with my gums and I found a fantastic natural remedy in something called Xylitol which is a natural sugar that you can get at health food stores, Walmart etc. It looks like sugar crystals/powder.

Just like your GI tract has a biome so also does your mouth. We have good and bad bacteria in our mouth. The good bacteria gives us healthy gums and prevents tooth decay. Most forms of mouthwash and tooth paste that kill bacteria - are killing both the good and the bad bacteria. And the net result is tipped a bit toward the bad outcome more than a good one over the long run. Xylitol feeds the good bacteria and is not usable by the bad bacteria in your mouth.

Like mouthwash this is not something you eat or swallow. You just put it on a tooth brush and brush your teeth , gums and tongue with it. Then rinse with a mouthwash that also has Xylitol in it - which you can get at almost any pharmacy over the counter.
