Can you really clean all of your teeth and your gum line, in just 30-seconds with this revolutionary new toothbrush? This is what we found during our MYST™ toothbrush review.

Brush your teeth simultaneously in just 30-seconds? That is what MYST™ claims their product will do…but is it true?

MYST™ Toothbrush was created and designed to give your mouth a full dental grade cleaning, in just 30-seconds time. It was by actual dentists and with that said, we figured we would test out the product ourselves.

Using a technology called XRT™, or Expansion Radius Technology™ which is supposedly the technology that is used to clean all of your teeth, simultaneously in just 30-seconds, the MYST™ toothbrush almost seems to good to be true.

So does it actually do everything that it claims to do?

Interestingly…we found that the answer is YES! We had 8 of our staff members test MYST™, using the toothbrush twice a day over the last three weeks.

Brushing your teeth will never be the same!

Once we determined that MYST™ can in fact clean all of your teeth in just 30-seconds time, we wanted to know what else can it do?

The MYST™ does seem to live up to the hype of giving your mouth a ‘full dental grade cleaning‘, right at home. 7 of the 8 staff members who tested MYST™, stated that in addition to their mouths feeling extremely clean after each brushing, they noticed that nearly all of their plaque build up was gone too!

So How Does MYST™ Work?

The design is simplistic, modern and really feels nice in your hand. MYST™ comes with its own USB charging docking station, charges up super fast and we found that the toothbrush holds a charge for quite a while too!

When you are done brushing, simply set the toothbrush onto the docking station and it will begin to charge! A light blue light will pulse as it charges and when the light stops pulsing, the unit is fully charged.

The mouth piece bristles on the toothbrush head are constructed of antimicrobial silicone, and the mouthpiece fits perfectly into your mouth. All 8 testers said that it fit perfectly and they felt that it was made and fitted for their mouths, personally.

The Myst Toothbrush brushing action works similar to an electric toothbrush, in regards to the unit using various vibration speeds to clean the teeth and gums. It is the only product on the market that uses silicone bristles, which are fine enough to pass between the teeth, and gentle enough to clean the gum line, brushing thoroughly and removing plaque.

Our Testing Results

MYST™ Toothbrush is placed in the mouth much like any conventional mouth guard would.

Right out of the box we charged the MYST™ fully! Once charged, we placed a few dabs of our favorite toothpaste on the silicone bristles, gave it a tiny rinse under some cold water and placed it into our mouth’s.

Then, we simply hit the power button on the toothbrush and chose one of MYST™’s three speed settings that we liked best.

After 30-seconds our teeth were clean and we simply rinsed the toothbrush under some water and placed it back on the charging dock! It was that easy!
All 8 of us who tested MYST™, found that we liked different speed settings and would even start out on a slower mode for the first 15-seconds and then switch to a faster mode for the last 15-seconds.
The MYST™ toothbrush isn’t hands free, so for best results we found that gently moving the mouth piece up and down, and left to right – really provided the best over all cleaning results.

Why is it so effective?

Dentists recommend brushing your teeth three times a day for about three minutes to protect against cavities and other gum problems. But for some, that can time can add up and become more of an inconvenience, especially in the morning.

Now, with the MYST™ toothbrush, you are able to brush twice a day, and only spend a total of 60-seconds doing so! Oh, and you will receive a full dental grade cleaning each time!

With the mouthpiece fitting perfectly over each tooth and gum line, the silicone bristles are able to massage, clean and reach between each tooth to ensure that all surfaces of the mouth are cleaned at the exact same time!

Where can you buy MYST™?

The complete Myst Toothbrush device is for sale on the official MYST™ website, with units priced at $198 USD, but there is currently a 50% off introductory offer. So right now you can snag one MYST™ for just $99, however, if you purchase more than one…the discounts are even greater!

There has been such high demand for the MYST™, that the company went from a ‘fill per order’ manufacturing operation to a 24-hour a day – full production operation!

So that says something to us right there! We purchased 10 for our test and we received a really awesome and large discount – with FREE SHIPPING! Buying stuff is just so much better when there is free shipping – lets face it!

**PLEASE READ and BE AWARE**

We must mention that during our testing, review and discovery process, we did find that there is a FAKE website selling a knock off version of the real MYST™ toothbrush. We will not show you the FAKE website so you don’t get confused should you decided to order. HOWEVER…below is all four of the REAL MYST™ websites where you can order the real deal!

While people’s daily lives and routines have been forced to an abrupt stop, there hasn’t been any talk of wonderful things happening around us recently. With over a million worldwide suffering from coronavirus and 65, 605 confirmed deaths globally as of the most recent statistics, these numbers make it almost impossible to stay positive about our newfound reality. Don’t forget the coronapocalypse hoarders that exhaust even the last pack of toilet paper in groceries, which makes it feel like were a step away from complete pandemonium. 

Before you admit total defeat to this globally contagious virus outbreak, we are sharing these heartwarming and tear-jerking photos of people from all over the world that will definitely restore your faith in humanity. Here is a list of ‘amidst the coronavirus’ stories that will prove to you that love and kindness are not lost on humans during these incredibly hard times. 


The director of communications at the nonprofit organization of GlobalGiving, Marlena Hartz said that, people are more than happy to help others during a crisis. GlobalGiving runs a Coronavirus Relief Fund that has already raised more than $1 million.

“Our data shows that giving continues to be strong right now, and people are responding generously to help those in need.”

Hartz also warns that, although people genuinely want to help out, “many nonprofits in our communities are struggling to survive in the time of the coronavirus, with lost revenue from fundraising events, sudden technology needs, and an increase in demand for help from people who need food, access to health care, and more.” 

If you are capable of donating, consider helping a nonprofit you believe in. 


As most of the world is spending all their time in their homes, it is inspiring to see all the support on social media in order to work together and stop Covid-19.

“People are so creative. From this hand-washing parody to celebrity giving challenges, we’re continually surprised and overjoyed by the ingenuity and kindness of people in the midst of this global crisis,” said Hartz. 

Some people, despite their own financial problems, still continue giving donations without keep much for themselves.

As the number of infected cases for coronavirus is increasing at a rapid speed all over the world, with the US alone having almost 70,000 cases, medical workers and frontlines are working round the clock to cure patients. 

Italy, the country with the most number of deaths from this pandemic have reached 7,500 people, while Spain has been hit hard, if not worse with 3,647 losses – both countries have already lost more people than China has. 


It is now obvious that flattening the curve of this pandemic will take a full-blown war, by every person still alive. 

Doctors, nurses and healthcare workers are the ones fighting on the front line. These heartbreaking photos that you are about to see is the reality of what happens behind those emergency doors of all those hospitals that are brimming with infected patients. From never-ending shifts that leave their tired faces filled with bruises, to working without even proper equipment and risking not only their own lives, but of their families as well. The sacrifice that these people do is extremely overwhelming and heartbreaking. 


When you take a look at all their photos, take the time to be grateful that you can just stay home and Netflix & Chill, while thanking these heroes for all the hard work they do everyday, in order for us to survive. Remember, not all heroes wear capes.

Ever since WHO announced that the world is living through a pandemic, panic buyers have been rushing off to do their shopping and hoarding pretty much everything from toilet paper to condoms. As they fight amongst themselves to stockpile to more things in the grocery stores, people often tend to forget that those that refill these racks are humans as well. 

Retail works have already voiced out the abuse that they experience at work nowadays, but it doesn’t seem like the situation is improving, even a little bit. Angela Breathet, a Tesco employee who had just finished her shift came home in tears and shared with her husband, Allan about the abuse she endured at work that day. She was shouted at, called names, and treated without an ounce of respect by those people that she is working hard to feed and supply with their basic needs. 

Her husband, Allan was fed up with all the selfishness in the midst of a global emergency that he wrote a powerful Facebook post, focusing on the fact that we all have to remain decent human beings. It’s a sad reality that people need to even be reminded of this, but it is a good wake-up call to check on how the communities have been treating people. 

What do you think of Allan’s words? Do you agree with this opinion? 


Allan Breathet
Allan Breathet

Allan from Inverness, Scotland told Mirror: 

“Too many people have been watching 28 Days Later and thinking we’re going to run out of food, it’s just got a wee bit out of hand. My wife came home on Sunday from work – she’s worked at Tesco for 25 years now and she’s worked Christmases and New Years and she’s never seen anything like it in her life.”

Usually, when his wife arrives home, she greets him and says, ‘how are you doing?’ This time around, he already knew something was very wrong by her misdemeanour when she arrived home. 

“She just looked at me, walked straight past me, went into the bedroom and just lay on the bed. I asked ‘are you ok?’ and she just started crying, nobody should come home from work like that. The kids were wondering what was wrong with their mom as well, so Allan tried to explain to them that people were jerks to her and her friends at work. “They asked why? And said ‘mum’s not done anything wrong.’”


Allan also made it a point to emphasise that people working in retail just want to do the best they can by serving the public. 

“To be called names, be shouted at and blamed for these things is past a joke.”

Even if he posted on Facebook as a rant, Allan can hardly believe that his post went viral, with now more than 165,000 shares. 

“Everybody who has commented has been so supportive. All I wanted was for people, when they go shopping, to be kind and don’t be aggravated.”

Take a look at the responses to Allan’s post:

Italy, including the Vatican City and San Marino have been on complete lockdown since March 9, because of the high number of infected cases and deaths from coronavirus. 

As of March 23, 2020, the pandemic has already killed more than 6,000 people and infected over 63,000 in the country alone. 

And despite these numbers and the severity of the outbreak within the country, there are still some of those people that actually think that it’s okay to go for a jog, or take a stroll along the park, acting as if it’s just another regular day. 


Some mayors of these Italian towns and cities are downright fed up with these people that are blatantly ignoring all the rules that have been set forth, that they’ve ranted on social media, just to stop these stubborn residents from taking advantage and frolicking outdoors. 

One of the best lines from these videos is from that mayor who had to actually tell someone that he wasn’t ‘Will Smith in I Am Legend.’ This mayor saw a citizen who was going for a jog along the road, accompanied by his dog that was obviously tired from the exercise.

Independent

”I stopped him and said, ‘Look, this isn’t a movie. You are not Will Smith in I Am Legend. Go home,” the mayor said. 

Another one goes on ‘full-rage mode’ and drops the f-word while he was voicing out his frustrations. 

“Where the f*@k are you all going? You and your dogs…. Which must have an inflated prostate?“


These videos and compilations have been shared all over social media, and especially Twitter – where people can’t get enough of it and just hope that their own mayors and other government officials can follow these Italians’ examples. 

Since the virus has arrived in Italian shores on January 31, more than 7,400 people have recovered from coronavirus. 

Check out these Italian mayors and their video announcements to their residents here:

As the coronavirus outbreak grips Wuhan, images and videos have emerged of local residents collapsing in streets and hospitals throughout the quarantined city. 

Wuhan, the ground zero of the deadly corona virus has been dubbed “zombieland” by some of its locals. 

Distressing photos on social media show people collapsing on the streets and hospitals during this epidemic that has already killed at least 26 people. 

In one disturbing video, an unconscious man is seen lying on the street while medics in hazmat suits and gas masks are attempting to help him up. 


According to passersby, the victim who had a protective mask on was in line for paperwork when he just collapsed and lost consciousness. 

Another photo that has been circulating on social media is of a man reportedly dead on the ground with blood on his head. A local news site reported the victim as dead from coronavirus. 

The news site posted the image on social media with this caption:

“It is stated that a person infected with coronavirus died in blood.”

Another unverified video circulated online which shows scenes inside a chaotic Wuhan hospital. This footage showed the hospital staff wearing full-covered protective body suits going over dead bodies, while the hallways were overcrowded with patients and doctors. 

A woman claiming to be a nurse shared this video to Weibo, China’s microblogging website. She wrote that the hospital staff and patients were “stuck” with the dead bodies that are covered in white sheets, because no one can take them away right now. 


A lot of other images circulating online are believed to be located in Wuhan, although they all still remain to be unverified.

Residents in the “ground-zero” city have been told not to go to any public gatherings and avoid crowds, making the virus-originating city look like a ghost town – even if there are 11 million inhabitants.

Other images show residents crowding hospital corridors, all wearing masks, while they await to see a doctor. 

Supermarkets are all sold out with empty shelves after worried locals went and panic bought. 

All public transport to Wuhan has been on lock down on desperate bid to stop the epidemic from spreading to other nearby cities. 

Because of the rapid spread of the coronavirus, the local authorities of the city is building a 1,000 bed hospital just for patients infected with this sickness. Officials say that it will be completed by February 3, with photos already showing construction workers digging out to lay the foundations of the building. 

Meanwhile, it has been reported that nine people in the UK are being treated for symptoms that are found in coronavirus, while five have also come forward in Scotland, and another one in Belfast, Northern Ireland. 

The latest number of cases in China has now reached over 800 people, with other victims found in Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and the US. 

With this virus spreading rapidly all over the world, questions are being raised as to how the Chinese authorities handled the outbreak when it began in Wuhan. 

A wet seafood market located in Wuhan city, which is bigger than London is where the virus originated in December. Even if it’s been more than a week with public knowledge that this virus can be easily spread from human to human, it was only this Thursday that authorities locked down all public transportation in and out of the city.

As of January 24, the deadly outbreak known as the coronavirus from China has already killed 26 people and infected more than 900.

Although according to a simulation that was conducted only three months ago, things could get even worse, and quick. 


According to Business Insider, a scientist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, Eric Toner, ran a simulation about a global pandemic of the exact same type of virus less than three months ago,. 

The simulation predicted that nearly 65 million people will die in an 18 month period.

“I have thought for a long time that the most likely virus that might cause a new pandemic would be a coronavirus,” he said 

At this moment, the outbreak is not yet pandemic, although it has already been reported to reach eight different countries in less than a month. Toner’s simulation showed that within six months, the deadly virus would reach nearly “every country in the world.”

“We don’t yet know how contagious it is. We know that it is being spread person to person, but we don’t know to what extent. An initial first impression is that this is significantly milder than SARS. So that’s reassuring. On the other hand, it may be more transmissible than SARS, at least in the community setting,” he said. 

Source: https://www.sciencealert.com/


Toner’s analysis made use of a fictional virus that is resistant to any modern vaccine and deadlier than SARS. This simulation virus that originated in Brazil’s pig farms was named CAPS. The outbreak would start small, with pig farms feeling flu-like symptoms, before it spreads to impoverished areas. 

The simulation also included how flights would be cancelled and travel bookings would fall to 45% as people would read false reports on social media. It also showed a financial crisis around the globe that would have an 11% GDP drop, as well as a 20-40% drop in the international stock market. 

The scientist also claimed that the real and dangerous coronavirus could create a major economic impact once the cases hit more than a thousand people. 

 “If we could make it so that we could have a vaccine within months rather than years or decades, that would be a game changer. But it’s not just the identification of potential vaccines. We need to think even more about how they are manufactured on a global scale and distributed and administered to people. It’s part of the world we live in now. We’re in an age of epidemics,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, the CDC in the United States is assuring everybody that there is no need for concern.

“We don’t want the American public to be worried about this because their risk is low,” says Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “On the other hand, we are taking this very seriously and are dealing very closely with Chinese authorities.”

Hopefully, they are right, and the outbreak will be contained to those that are already suffering it, and no one else.

U.S. Financial Times reporter Gabriel Wildau picked up a Chinese newspaper which said that the whole city of Wuhan is under quarantine because of the rapid spread of a deadly virus called 2019 coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

 This highly infectious respiratory illness causes a type of pneumonia on those affected, and could even lead to death. Experts have compared it to the 2003 outbreak SARS, because it is also a type of coronavirus. Scientists have confirmed that the genetic code of the new virus is most closely related to SARS than any other that the humans have encountered. 

This deadly illness has originated from a seafood wet market in the city of Wuhan, China and has spread very quickly all across China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and now has reached the shores of the United States. 

Immediately after the U.S. reported its first case, the Chinese government had the city of Wuhan quarantined, and their 11 million residents will be trapped within the city unless they have special permission to leave after going through a screening process. 


Source: http://www.rfi.fr/

At this moment, only hundreds of cases have been officially reported, but experts fear that this deadly virus has already infected over thousands by now. 17 people have already died from the illness. 


Before the Wuhan quarantine, the local government was already censoring news about the outbreak, while deleted social media posts that went again the official statements regarding the sickness. 

Because of the local government’s terrible mismanagement of the SARS outbreak back in 2002 and 2003, China is now under intense scrutiny on their solutions of containing this outbreak. The Chinese government was initially accused of covering up the severity of SARS when it was starting to spread to different countries. 

Residents living in the three affected cities have been advised not to come in contact with live animals without protection. They have also been advised to thoroughly cook meet and eggs and to avoid other people that are showing flu-like symptoms.

China’s coronavirus that is spreading all over the world is a very real and deadly threat. Experts warn people not to take this lightly. 

As China does all it can within their jurisdiction to contain the deadly coronavirus outbreak, their “wet markets” – food markets that sell live and dead animals – are being investigated by local authorities as the viral epidemic’s “ground zero.” 

The wet market located in the city of Wuhan is believed to be the source of this viral outbreak. The vendors allegedly sell meat of over 100 different animals including live rats, wolf puppies, porcupines, exotic snakes, live peacocks and even koalas – all to be eaten – according images seen on social media. 

Last Wednesday, state authorities just made a ban on the sale of live animals in wet markets. Huanan Seafood Market, located in the central city of Wuhan has already been closed since January 1. 


Source: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/

The director of Chinese agency that is in charge of controlling and preventing diseases, Dr. Gao Fu, has confirmed that the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) – came from “wild animals at the seafood market” although did not give any more specific information. The first victims have been reported to be employees at the Wuhan market. 

This wet market is filled with rows and rows or narrow lanes that are cluttered with butches, salesmen and buyers looking to buy and sell raw and live meat. Business Insider reported that people are in constant contact with dead and live animals in this market, making it perfectly easy for the virus to come in contact to the human population from their animal hosts. 

More commonly eaten animals like pigs, chickens, shrimp and dog are sold in this market, but there is also a vast array of exotic options that can be bought like crocodile tongue, giant salamanders and civets. 

According to AFP, Chinese consumption of civet meat was the reason for the 2003 deadly outbreak of the acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The SARS virus originally came from bats, which was also found being sold in hot soups all over the wildlife markets in China. 

One vendor in the Wuhan market had an advertisement: 

 “Freshly slaughtered, frozen and delivered to your door. Wild Game Animal Husbandry for the Masses.”

While the local Chinese authorities have stopped illegal trafficking of wild species since the SARS outbreak, conservationists believe that their regulations are still too lax, especially for those animals that are farmed for commercial purposes.

Exotic species like turtles are seen as delicacies in China and other Asia countries because of their mythical and unproven medicinal benefits. Consumption of live animals and exotic animals are also seen as a high symbol of social status in China. 

However, some live animal sales have shocked even the locals at how far Chinese would go. 

Once Chinese social network user posted online in Weibo: 

“Just took a closer look at the viral wild animal menu – they even eat koalas.”

Another user replied:

“There’s nothing Chinese people won’t eat.”

Dr. Christian Walzer, executive director of the U.S. based Wildlife Conservation Society’s Health Program came out with a statement saying: 

“Chinese scientists believe the Wuhan Coronavirus originated in wildlife sold illegally in a live animal market. This virus is closely related to SARS and it now appears the spill-over to humans followed a similar transmission path. China closed Wuhan markets where this new virus was tracked back to – but similar markets occur in other cities across China and other Asian countries. 

If these markets persist, and human consumption of illegal and unregulated wildlife persists, then the public will continue to face heightened risks from emerging new viruses, potentially more lethal and the source of future pandemic spread.

Poorly regulated live animal markets, where wild animals, farmed-wildlife, and domestic animals are transported from across the regions and housed together to sell for human consumption provide ideal conditions for the emergence of new viruses that threaten human health, economic stability, and ecosystem health.”

In the meantime, the capital, Beijing is struggling with keeping the coronavirus under control by imposing a quarantine on three cities that have had 17 residents die and 640 infected. 

Experts have also warned that the possibility of the deadly virus spreading to Australia is very likely. 

“We do have a lot of traffic from China and I think it’s quite possible we will get some cases here but I’m very confident that we’re well prepared to respond if we do,” Australia’s Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy mentioned. 

There has already been one case of a person in Sydney being quarantined for possibly having the symptoms of the deadly virus, as reported by the health authorities in Australia.

After months of devastating wildfires all across Australia which was killing their wildlife and plant life, amazing photos have just resurfaced showing bush already regrowing in the areas most destroyed. These pictures are giving hope to the people that are too far away to help the ongoing bushfire crisis. 

Murray Lowe, a local photographer took these photos last January 6 in Kulnara. It is an area located in the New South Wales Central Coast region. 

As he uploaded the photos on social media, he accompanied it with this post: 

 “Ventured out into the fire grounds today to capture some images of how the Aussie bush responds to fire, and the way it regenerates itself and comes back to life.

Even without any rain, life bursts through the burnt bark from the heart of the trees and the life cycle begins again.

It’s so heartening to see the bush coming back to life again.”

Since Lowe has shared these photos on Facebook, they have been shared by other online users over 40,000 times. He’s been shocked by the response, and had to write an update: 

 “I did not, in my wildest dreams, anticipate the overwhelming response to my photos that I’ve seen. It’s both humbling, and heart-warming.”

A Facebook user commented in reply:

 “Thank you for sharing these pictures, it gives a glimmer of hope through these dark days.”

Another user commented:

“As the indigenous people of our country say… Australian country depends on fire to regenerate…. It just needs to be managed by people who understand it.”

Because of the wonderful feedback Lowe has received, his photos are now available to purchase in print. A portion of the proceeds that he will get from the sales will be donated to victims of the fires. 

Other Australians have also started posting their own photos of their regions’ regrowth as the local government, fire fighters and volunteers continue to try and dissipate the blazes that are still ongoing in some areas of the country.
