the good-gums® story
Isabelle Dunkeson created the Good Gums® formula for her own use, after decades in the fields of natural healing and nutrition. In the late 1960's she started one of the early natural food stores in upstate New York; in 1978 she founded and operated the Sarasota School of Natural Healing Arts, the first state-licensed therapy school for massage in  southwest Florida. The school expanded in 1994 to include acupuncture and Oriental medicine. The paradigm she applied to the creation of Good Gums® was to find natural tooth cleansers and natural sources of nutritional supplementation that support the body's innate ability to heal and to keep itself healthy.
Different minerals and herbs found in nature would occur to her, and she'd remember their properties of being antiseptic or acid-neutralizing or cell-nourishing. Pertinent memories and tidbits of information just seemed to rise from the depths of her subconscious. One morning she woke from a night's sleep and was aware of a complete formula of minerals and herbs. She wrote it down and set about gathering the various ingredients. She mixed the formula and started brushing and flossing with it, and ingesting some in the process.
She then paid close attention to her mouth. Detecting how well a dentifrice cleans the teeth is usually fairly quick. Discerning the effect of nutrition (whether wholesome or insufficient) is more subtle, but tissues in the mouth grow and are replaced quite quickly, allowing quicker and easier observation here than elsewhere in the body. After starting to use her formula, Isabelle immediately liked the clean fresh feeling she got. After about a month of using it, she was pretty sure that she liked her formula better than any tooth paste she had ever tried. After a couple of months, she was certain. After several months, her dentist, Kim, examined her and liked the obvious cleanliness. She started referring to "Isabelle's miracle mouth" and wanted to know what Isabelle had done differently since the prior office visit. Isabelle told Kim about her regimen with her newly formulated mixture. The dentist tried the mixture and loved it (as she does to the day of this writing).
