Cure Tooth Decay: Heal And Prevent Cavities With Nutrition

by Ramiel Nagel

However, your entire body is connected to your mouth. There are meridians, energy channels, and biological pathways such as nerves, veins and arteries that run through your entire body, connecting everything.

Meridians? Really? Oh boy.

The essential keys to remineralizing teeth are found not only in this book. The answers are within your biology but they simply have been lost or misplaced. This is a guidebook designed to help you establish and implement your own tooth or gum healing diet and to restore a connection with your body through food.

This is beginning to feel like filler. *Future Maegan: It was! So, so, so much filler!

In watching a video teaching mercury filling placement, I saw myself the messy process of installing mercury fillings as hundreds of shreds of hazardous mercury are spread all over the mouth.

Wait, is this guy qualified to write this?

People know most dentists are in business for the money because they can see it and feel it.

Baseless speculation.

Pasteur’s “science” has remained the status quo despite a large body of evidence showing that bacteria don’t invade people, but rather that they evolve and change based upon their environment.

Would you like to cite any of that?

In 1922 dentist Percy Howe read before the ADA that his research team tried and failed to reproduce dental decay by feeding and inoculating guinea pigs with various bacteria associated with gum disease and tooth decay. He said, "In no case did we succeed in establishing dental disease by these means."17 However Dr. Howe had no problems in creating tooth decay in guinea pigs by removing vitamin C from their diet.

Interesting if true.

Drs. Leonora and Steinman found that the hypothalamus communicates with glands in our jaw called the parotid glands via parotid hormone releasing factor. When the parotid gland is stimulated by the hypothalamus it releases parotid hormone which triggers a movement of mineral rich dental lymph through microscopic channels in our teeth.20 This mineral-rich fluid cleans teeth and remineralizes them.

That the parotid gland is in charge of tooth remineralization explains to me why a small portion of the population is immune to tooth decay, even with a relatively poor diet. They were born with a strong parotid gland.

Possibly, but again, speculation.

If tooth decay is caused by the aging process, why are more young children suffering from it? And why hasn’t the increase in dental treatments in these young children stopped the tooth decay?

Questions I'd like answered.

If dental drilling, root canals, tooth pulling, mass water fluoridation, tooth brushing and toothpastes were the proper treatments for cavities, then we would not see this increase in tooth decay over time.

The people of the valley lived in harmony with nature, which resulted in a seemingly peaceful existence. Dr. Price wrote of the superior character and health of these people and the sublime lands of the isolated valleys in the remote Swiss Alps: They have neither physician nor dentist because they have so little need for them; they have neither policeman nor jail, because they have no need for them.2 This harmony is also evident in the production of food:

You can tell the author is into yoga...

He told me that they recognize the presence of Divinity in the life-giving qualities of the butter made in June when cows have arrived for pasturage near the glaciers. He gathers the people together to thank the kind Father for evidence of his Being in the life-giving qualities of butter and cheese when the cows eat the grass near the snow line...

Come on, man!

By sensing and revering the holy nature of food, ancient cultures enjoyed vibrant health. In exchange for their reverence of the life-giving vital force, especially that in the summer milk, the isolated Swiss received health, aliveness, vitality and peace. Unfortunately in today’s world, the once profoundly honored cow’s milk—

🤦‍♀️

In the case of the Swiss, he found that the isolated Swiss diet contained 10 times more fat-soluble vitamins and activators, 4 times more calcium, and 3.7 times more phosphorus than the modern diet. The isolated Gaelics ate 10 times more fat-soluble vitamins, 2.1 times more calcium, and 2.3 times more phosphorus than their modernized counterparts, who lived sometimes just a few miles away. The Aborigines of Australia lived along the eastern coast where they had ample access to seafood. Compared to the modernized food, their native diet contained 4.6 times the calcium, 6.2 times the phosphorus and ten times the amount of fat-soluble vitamins.31

I specifically bring in the Journal of theAmerican Dental Association ( ADA) quote because I believe that the public needs to know that what is promoted by the ADA such as the acid / bacterial theory of cavities and what is taught in dental schools is contrary to material published in its own journal. I want to criticize the ADA for ignoring earlier research published in its own journal, by its own former head of research, Dr. Price.

Let's do this with all modern science actually.

Dentist Ralph Steinman discovered that our teeth’s ability to remineralize is based upon the regulating action of the largest salivary glands, the parotid glands. Located near the inside of our jaw bone, the parotid glands regulate the activity of the nutrient-rich dentinal fluid. The signal to the parotid glands comes from the regulating center of the brain, the hypothalamus. When the tooth fluid flow is reversed due to a signal from the parotid glands (as a result of a poor diet or otherwise), food debris, saliva and other matter are pulled into the tooth through the dentinal tubules. When this happens over time, the pulp becomes inflamed and tooth decay spreads to the enamel.

Blood sugar levels, when chronically out of balance, can often cause tooth decay or gum disease. If the posterior pituitary cannot regulate the blood sugar properly, then this can create a biochemical imbalance that will cause phosphorus to be pulled from the bones. The primary cause of a posterior pituitary deficiency is white sugar.

If cholesterol from animal fats were unhealthy, then why do we desire them so much?

Not science. We also desire sugar, I guess we should eat a ton of that too? To be clear I agree, just not with the way this is presented.

As a result, sickness caused by pasteurized milk is vastly under reported while sickness claimed to be caused by raw milk is vastly over reported.

Source?

In blood chemistry tests, Dr. Page determined that different types of sugar consumption cause different fluctuations in blood sugar levels. When blood sugar fluctuates, the calcium and phosphorus ratios in the blood fluctuate along with it. White sugar produces the most significant blood sugar fluctuations, which last five hours. Fruit sugar produces fewer fluctuations but the blood sugar still remains out of balance for five hours. Honey causes even fewer fluctuations and blood sugar stabilizes after three hours.10a Blood sugar fluctuations can increase blood calcium.

Guinea pigs fed a high grain diet developed a condition that appears to be exactly the same as scurvy in humans. 5b To cause scurvy, guinea pigs were fed mostly bran and oats. Another scurvy-producing diet consisted of whole grains like oats, barley, maize, and soy bean flour. An exclusive oatmeal diet would kill a guinea pig in 24 days from scurvy. This very same scurvy-inducing diet produced severe tooth and gum problems in guinea pigs as well.

Guinea pigs fed germinated oats and barley did not contract scurvy.

Reintroducing vitamin C in the diet of guinea pigs with raw cabbage (sauerkraut would work for humans) or orange juice resolves the disease.

Giving rats and dogs a scurvy-producing diet did not lead to scurvy, it led to another disease, rickets. Rickets is a disease that is known for producing severely bowed legs in children. Other rickets symptoms include muscle weakness, bone pain or tenderness, skeletal problems and tooth decay. To produce rickets in the laboratory, dogs were fed oatmeal.

Scurvy and rickets are both produced in laboratory experiments in different animals using a diet consisting largely of whole grains. The connection between scurvy and rickets is not a random coincidence; it has also been observed in humans. Dr. Thomas Barlow of England carefully studied rickets cases in children, and published a report in 1883 suggesting that scurvy and rickets are closely related.

Unlike the careful harvesting and storage of oats by isolated cultures, even organic whole oats you buy in the store are heat treated and they are not left in the fields to germinate and dry. Oats are heat treated because the high fat content of this grain can easily suffer rancidity during storage. The heat treated oats lose their entire phytase enzyme content however, so soaking or souring oatmeal will not destroy any phytic acid prior to cooking.

In most of the rice-eating populations across the world it is very difficult to find brown rice.

Because of cross pollination, even many not genetically modified corns may have some genetic alteration. Animals typically will not eat genetically modified (GM) corn unless they are forced to do so. Those that have eaten it have had reproductive problems among other problems.

Pozol is a fermented corn dish from South America. The corn is cooked with calcium hydroxide to release niacin. The hull, or pericarp, of the corn is removed. Pozol is fermented for 1-14 days.

I recommend doing whatever you can to support small and local farms such as going to farmer’s markets, or shopping at stores that buy from local farms. This is not a requirement, but something feels good about buying food from and supporting the small family farm.

I love how professional this book is. Did anyone pay ~$28 for the author's personal opinion on small farms?

Here I just want to give thanks for having food. Whether it is good or not, I am thankful that I have enough food to eat. Many people in the world do not even have the luxury of choosing their daily menu. Giving thanks for our food is a way to honor and respect Nature’s gifts. When the positive vibration of thankfulness fills our lives and our culture, we will no longer have foods that will destroy our health.

I hate myself for buying this book.

As readers of this book, you are now privileged with dental knowledge that I hope you will share with everyone: all of your relatives, friends, coworkers and second cousins. Then they too can learn how to avoid unnecessary dental procedures. Getting additional copies of Cure Tooth Decay and sharing is a good way to spread this knowledge.

Of course. 💲🤑💲

Many dentists coerce patients into treatments that they do not need. Part of this system of coercion is to first condemn patients as failures in life because they did not prevent their tooth decay due to poor oral hygiene. These accusations can weaken patients’ sense of self and get them to succumb to unneeded dental procedures. You know a dentist has abused you if you feel sick or awful in their presence, or if they try to coerce you into treatments that you feel unsure about.

OK, I've made fun of him, but this did happen to both me and my husband with 3 different dentists.

This is very similar to talking with a child. Here are some examples. “How are you, tooth?” “What will make you feel better?” “Do you want to visit a dentist?” “Do you want a root canal?” “Do you want to try herbs?” “Do you want a special food?” “Do you want to be pulled?” You will be amazed at how your body can actually communicate what it needs to you. People will receive some kind of response to these questions, as a feeling, an inner knowing or voice, or as a desire to do something. If you get no response, do not worry.

This...is actually in this book...

The suffering associated with the effort needed to become healthy can manifest in many forms: complaining about exercise, believing in disempowering information, or not wanting to pay extra for healthy foods or a better dentist. These behaviors are a result of the interplay between your light side that wants to get healthy, and your dark side that does not care or that does not want health. Putting more commitment and energy behind your goal of health requires positive feelings, beliefs and good will. If you are not fully committed to this positive result, then there must be some hidden negativity.

So if you can't afford healthier food, it's because you want to be sick? 🤔

In 1986-1987, a study involving 39,207 children aged 5-17 showed no statistical difference in tooth decay from using non-fluoridated or fluoridated water.34 Several large scale studies worldwide show the same results.35 According to data published in the July 2009 Journal of the American Dental Association children’s cavity rates are similar whether the water is fluoridated or not.36

The Environmental Protection Agency's Employee Union (consisting of approximately 1500 scientists, lawyers, engineers and other professional employees) is opposed to water fluoridation. The EPA Union states: Scientific literature documents the increasingly out-of-control exposures to fluoride, the lack of benefit to dental health from ingestion of fluoride and the hazards to human health from such ingestion.38

In 1977 Dr. Dean Burk, former chief chemist of the US National Cancer Institute, and Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, president of the Safe Water Foundation proved that water fluoridation increased the risk of cancer. Their studies concluded that: One-tenth of the 350,000 cancer deaths per year in the U.S. are linked with artificial public water fluoridation.39 The U.S. Congress called for animal studies to confirm these results and the studies were released in 1990. The studies showed clear evidence that fluoride does cause cancer.40

The hyper stimulated nervous system has some surprising side effects. For example, orthopedic orthodontist Dr. Brendan Stack believes that the basis of most of the symptoms of Tourette's syndrome is essentially a misalignment of the mandible to the base of the skull. By correcting the position of the jaw with a dental appliance, the eye blinking, eyelid tics, mouth tics, head nodding, shoulder shrugging and head tremors disappear. Dr. Stack has videos on his website that appear to depict miracles. Yet the amazing recoveries are based on a correct understanding of how the jaw and cranial system were meant to function.

This crux relates to a larger story of humanity and our beliefs about ourselves. We are still holding onto the old belief pattern that having a human body is wrong and sinful, and that a better and healthier reality lies somewhere else. Based on this belief system is the justification that humans are meant to suffer because to simply exist, is to be imperfect.

Modern medicine is anti-religion, how does this track?

There is a new belief pattern also forming. This belief system affirms that being a human is not wrong or sinful. And therefore if we are suffering, it must not be from our predetermined state of existence, but from self-inflicted suffering from human ignorance. Our suffering is somehow our responsibility. And what is our responsibility lies within our power to change. We are here to live in Nature's abundance through following Nature’s laws. In following these laws we will see that there is no predestined fate of suffering, but rather that human suffering is self-inflicted when we oppose the natural order of life. When we realign with Nature’s principles, we connect ourselves with our innate goodness and power to heal, and we move towards balance.

"Our innate goodness" right...
