Periodontal/gum disease results from bacterial action which causes gum bleeding and pockets between teeth-roots and surrounding gums. it is usually controlled by painful gum surgery. Not wanting surgery, I created and applied a natural system and cured my gum disease. This concise, practical book What I did to Heal Gum Disease NATURALLY can help you too!
An extremely easy to read, practical, step by step guide to a natural way of healing gum disease in layman’s language. We are made aware of gum disease which creeps up on us slowly and unnoticeably and a natural, simple and proven cure for the condition. The book is short and concise with touches of humour. Ms Natural Way, Mr Coward and Mr Miser are all happy at the end of the day and so should we all be if committed to not having surgery or loss of teeth due to periodontal disease. A very worthwhile and informative handbook which I highly recommend. Well done author!
Review: Marina Shahini
Leader of the Dance
Review New dance leaders, and experienced leaders as well, can profit from the extensive and well-organized compilation of suggestions, ideas, traditions, and techniques that Dede Callichy has collected by observing dances in progress, interviewing long-time dance leaders, and from her own learning experience.
It can be read all the way through for an overview, or used as a reference to explore particular topics. Even after 25 years of dancing and numerous leader training retreats, I still found ideas that were new to me, in addition to validation of much hard-earned knowledge. It would have been helpful to have read such a book at the beginning of my leadership journey.

Review With great patience and determination, Dede has succeeded in fulfilling the call to put together the Leader of the Dance, the first Australian contribution to the literature of the International Network for the Dances of Universal Peace.
This well-researched book is a comprehensive guide to the Dances of Universal Peace leadership. It serves as helpful training wheels for those starting out on their dance leadership training and as inspirational material for seasoned leaders.
The layout makes it easy to cross-access clarification in different areas of leadership, and the indexed reference section stimulates further research.
The illustrations and photos enhance the written word, and Dede’s humour dances lightly through the pages.
Dede verifies that trainee leaders evolve their skill under the caring guidance of their mentors because experience is the best teacher. This book is a valuable and illuminating adjunct for supporting and enhancing leadership proficiency. I recommend it highly!
