Cure Tooth Decay: Heal And Prevent Cavities With Nutrition

by Ramiel Nagel

The end point of a meridian (bioelectrical pathway) is a tooth and what happens to that tooth and related structures can affect the bioelectrical stability of the meridian and all glands and organs associated with that meridian.

An infected tooth can therefore also affect a gland at a distant site. An infection or inflammation in the mouth can create a systemic (whole body) inflammation or infection. This whole body inflammation cannot be cleared until the condition of the mouth is addressed first. The immune system, minerals and hormones also interact

with the tooth and related structures. Cure Tooth Decay is a...

Your diet is the key to creating a healthy mouth. There is no other way about it.

When people eat too many processed foods, especially sugar and flour products, they wreak havoc on the body. Insulin levels spike, cortisol goes up, and the flow of parotid gland hormone changes, resulting in cavities.

When you consume too much sugar, the hormones that control tooth mineralizati...

When you have adequate healthy hormones, the tooth is healthy and is engaged in the process of maintaining and building healthy tooth structure, through the process of mineralization. When you don’t have a good diet, your body’s ability to repair and maintain healthy teeth and gums is severely limited. And the result is tooth destruction, or demineralization. If you learn one thing from this book, it should be that eating too much processed sugar and flour products upsets the entire hormone system. This not only sets you ...

craves sugar is generally in a sugar burning, rather than fat burning mode to produce energy. If people stay off the sugar for seven days and consume adequate amounts of the good saturated fats, they lose their cravings for sugar and their tooth problems significantly improve. After they have stabilized and lost their sugar craving they can have only low sugar fruits: green apple, pear, kiwi and berries (no sugar on top!). If you are susceptible to tooth decay, stay away from all sweet fruits; many of them have all been hybridized to make them as sweet as possible. I once stayed away from all fruits for a period of time, then I bit into a Fuji apple—it tasted like candy!

Dental Fact In 1845 the American Society of Dental Surgeons banned the use of mercury fillings because of health concerns.4

Alzheimer’s disease6, Lou Gehrig’s disease

(ALS), Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, lupus, and some forms of arthritis all have one thing in common – mercury.

Mercury is considered hazardous waste in fluorescent bulbs at the amount of 22 milligrams. A normal mercury filling has appro...

When a foreign substance, particularly a metal, is implanted in the body, the body can mount an immune system reaction.

This toxic substance can cause or contribute to diseases such as those just mentioned. The book Whole-Body Dentistry by dentist Mark Breiner describes dental immune reactions in children. For example: one child became sick and unable to walk from mercury fillings and stainless steel (nickel) crowns, and another child developed leukemia from these same dental materials.8

isn’t just mercury amalgams that are toxic. While less toxic, white composite fillings made up of ground glass and plastic still cause immune reactions on average in 50% of patients. One of the most popular composite fillings cause...

There isn’t much incentive in this system for curing and preventing cavities because without the drilling and filling business model it becomes more of a challenge to turn dentistry into a profitable career.

Even dentists have lost faith in their profession. Dentist Marvin Schissel wrote a chilling commentary on the shoddy dental work performed by dentists trying to maximize profits called Dentistry and Its Victims, and dentist Robert Nara wrote Money by the Mouthful, exposing how easy and common it is for dentists to make money by pushing unnecessary dental treatments.

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. The effect of Mr. Pasteur’s contribution to medical thought has led us to our modern system of dental care in which we attempt to cure cavities by killing the evil invading force - bacteria.

Modern treatments do limit some pain and suffering, but if the basic cause of tooth decay (your diet) is not addressed, your teeth continue to decay.

Other than in how food sticks to teeth, dentists believe that diet has little to do with tooth cavities.

In Dr. Schatz’s proteolysis-chelation theory, it is diet, trace elements, and hormonal balance that are key factors in triggering enzymes and tooth mineral chelation which results in tooth decay.19

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.

When a cavity-causing diet is ingested, the hypothalamus stops telling the parotid gland to release the hormone that circulat...

presence of tooth decay.21 Even in Dr. Miller’s often cited

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.

Dr. Price painted a picture of tooth decay that was very different from the one we have today. He wrote of people who did not use toothbrushes, yet were immune to tooth decay.

All groups having a liberal supply of minerals particularly phosphorus, and a liberal supply of fat-soluble activators, had 100 per cent immunity to dental caries.1

During the 1930s, Dr. Price was able to document the sharp decline in health experienced by previously healthy people who came into contact with modern civilization. The revealing findings of Dr. Price, published in his excellent book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, along with his telling photographs, bring home the important fact that our modern food and lifestyle are the primary causes of tooth decay.

It should be a matter not only of concern but deep alarm that human beings can degenerate physically so rapidly by the use of a certain type of nutrition, particularly the dietary products used so generally by modern civilization.30

Tooth decay is not only unnecessary, but an indication of our divergence from Nature's fundamental laws of life and health.32

The components most lacking in our modern diet are the fat-soluble vitamins, particularly those found in animal fats. By restoring the fat-soluble vitamins to our diets, we will regain our health and immunity to cavities. Fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K and they are found in fat. Fat-soluble vitamins are essential for our physical health, not just because they provide nutrients to the body, but precisely because they are activating substances that help our bodies utilize the minerals present in our diets. Dr. Price found that the indigenous groups, which had the highest immunity to tooth decay, ate daily from at least two of the three following principal fat-soluble vitamin sources: Dairy products from grassfed animals. Organs and head meat from fish and shellfish. Organs of land animals.

On the basis of the fat-soluble activators or vitamin content of the foods used, I found that those groups using at least two of the three principal vitamin sources had the highest immunity to dental caries. Those using the lowest amount of fat-soluble activators had the greatest amount of dental caries. On this basis, namely, the fat-soluble activator content of the diet, those groups using the fat-soluble activators in liberal quantity had not more than 0.5 per cent of the teeth attacked by dental caries; while those using fat-soluble activators less liberally had up to 12 per cent of the teeth attacked by dental caries. All groups having a liberal supply of minerals particularly phosphorus, and a liberal supply of fat-soluble activators, had 100 per cent immunity to dental caries.33

Eggs also count as a special source of fat-soluble vitamins. Most store-bought eggs, however, come from chickens that are solely grain fed, even organic ones. Eggs from grain-fed chickens do not possess enough vitamins and nutrients to merit consideration as a food capable of preventing tooth decay. It is precisely due to the lack of fat-soluble vitamins and activators in the vegan diet that makes it difficult for vegans over time to remain immune to cavities and the effects of physical degeneration.

The healthy blood sugar level is 85 milligrams per 100 cc of blood.3 When there are blood sugar spikes, minerals like calcium are pulled from our bones.

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.

primary cause of a posterior pituitary deficiency is white sugar.

The posterior pituitary can be brought slowly back to health by eating a diet low in sugar which includes avoiding natural sugars as well.

This following section is for advanced tooth decay food healing, and is also very useful for international readers. Adding any one of these foods into your diet, even on occasion, will strengthen your body’s resilience against cavities. You can stop cavities without

the foods in this section or the seafood section if you are taking cod liver oil, or cod liver oil with butter oil. You are not required to eat these foods if you do not want to. I also don’t want to downplay the importance of these sacred foods. Learning to love and eat these foods has changed people’s lives.

Oysters and clams are exceptional foods. They are usually eaten whole, raw and alive
