The teeth need to be cleaned
after eating using a toothbrush
with natural toothpaste, baking soda or natural
soap, flossed, then rinsed with
mouthwash.
Strict fruitarianism and strict,
raw veganism can damage your
teeth in the long run and go
against the diet given in The
Healing God Spell of Saint John
and Szekeley's translation of
The Essene Gospel of Peace which
is raw fruits, raw vegetables,
herbs, grasses, sprouts and raw cultured
milk to dress the vegetables.
Thus, the diet of the Gnostic Essene Jesus, as witnessed by
John, was not only raw, living fruits,
but also included raw, living vegetables
and raw, living cultured milk.
This has been born out by many
sources including Mahatma Ghandi
who found that goat's milk was
needed in his vegetarian diet,
Hindu Yogis who consider milk a
sattvic or spiritual food and
the Tibetan Buddhists who use
milk products from yaks.
Other people who recommend the
middle way of raw
lacto-vegetarianism are: Bernard
Jensen, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely,
Herbert Shelton, Norman Walker and Johnny
Lovewisdom.
A gradual, long term transition
is recommended to avoid
stressing your body with
excessive toxic matter. The use
of
cultured milk (cheese,
yogurt, kefir,
clabbered or soured milk,
sour cream and butter)
with your salads is advised to
avoid damage to your teeth.
Avoid exclusive fruit only diets
which can damage your teeth permanantly.
How to Cure Tooth
Decay with Rami Nagel
interviewed by Ann Marie
Michaels
Rami Nagel
Interview
(Excerpt from NaturalNews)
It
is not true that conventional
dental treatments and fluoride
are the only ways to heal your
teeth from cavities. When struck
with the diagnoses of a dental
cavity, most people feel totally
helpless or powerless to do
anything about it themselves.
The common belief about tooth
decay is that once you have a
cavity, the tooth cavity cannot
heal or reverse. The only
solution seems to be to rush off
to the dentist and have a
synthetic material placed in
your teeth to cover the breached
tooth structure.
No longer should we continue to
accept dental surgery or the
dangerous chemical, fluoride, as
our only hope and solution for
tooth decay. There is now a book
that describes another way to
heal teeth. Cure Tooth Decay:
Heal And Prevent Cavities With
Nutrition by Ramiel Nagel –
available for purchase at
(www.curetoothdecay.com) – is a
triumph in the face of the
medical dogma that believes in
disease and suffering. Let me
tell you what really causes
tooth decay so that you can be
empowered to fight it, prevent
it, and succeed at doing so.
People go to dentists for
regular check-ups, or because
they have tooth pain or gum
swelling. The dentist takes
x-rays and then, many times,
informs you of the dreadful news
– you have a cavity. But you
need not worry. For a few
hundred dollars, the newest
"natural" filling material can
be placed in your mouth and the
problem is solved.
Or is it?
I began investigating tooth
decay, and health in general,
because my own daughter was
afflicted with tooth decay at
the age of one. Children's tooth
decay is commonly referred to as
"Baby Bottle Mouth" because it
is supposed to happen when
children drink fruit juices from
bottles. My daughter did not eat
sweets frequently, never had
fruit juice, was breastfed
regularly, and has almost never
eaten any type of processed
foods (which are known to be
harmful and decay promoting).
I knew that the current theory
was wrong because it did not
explain my daughter's tooth
decay. I had to find an answer
because unlike with adults,
young children cannot undergo
conventional dental treatments —
they cannot sit still, and do
not usually like things being
forced into their mouths. As a
result, a typical dental
treatment for a young child is
surgery with full anesthesia, or
other unpleasant things. As I
now understand it, applying
these treatments to young
children is, from a scientific
or medical standpoint, not the
best treatment; it's merely a
convenient and haphazardly
prescribed treatment that is
costly in many ways.
To an important degree, my work
is
based on the research of the
world's
greatest dentist, Weston A.
Price, as
well as another top dentist,
Melvin
Page, who also used his research
and even took it further. To say
that
Weston Price was well respected
in
the peak of his career, from the
early
1900's to his death in 1948, is
an
understatement. He was the
chairman of the Research Section
of
the National Dental Association
(1914-1923), the forerunner to
the
American Dental Association.
Weston Price was widely
respected
in his time, and frequently
published
in many dental journals,
including
several articles in the Journal
of the
American Dental Association.
Rather than seek to determine
why
modern society had unhealthy
teeth,
Weston Price traveled the world
to
find out why Indigenous people
have
healthy teeth. In observing the
superb
health of Indigenous groups in
the
1930's, Dr. Price made a
poignant
discovery. He realized that
something
fundamental was, and is,
radically
wrong with the way we live. And
as a
result, we have lost our
pristine state
of health. Dr. Price gave us an
outline
for a tooth decay healing
protocol
that, under precise and careful
conditions, was over 95% percent
effective at healing decay
without
dental surgery. In other words,
cavities can be healed with a
special
type of nutrition.
What is Dental Surgery?
When a dentist finds a small
hole in
your tooth, or you feel pain due
to a
hole in your tooth, the
dentist's job is
to fix this hole. The
methodology is to
drill a bigger hole in your
mouth, and
then to fill the hole with a
synthetic
material. A dentist is a DDS, a
doctor
of dental surgery. Dental
surgery only
treats the symptoms of tooth
decay,
pain, and/or a hole in your
tooth. It
never addresses the cause, and
because of this, people
generally
loose many of their teeth over
time.
In an extensive study of over
15,000
people, the Centers for Disease
Control published some
statistics
regarding tooth decay that
should be
cause for alarm for most people.
Here is a summary: the older you
get,
more of your teeth become
effected
by decay. That's why old people
have
dentures (fake teeth) and most
young
people do not...yet.
On average, people ages 16-19
have
11.6% of all teeth affected by
decay
at one time. This steadily
increases,
and by the time adults are over
age
60, more than half of their
teeth
(62.36%) have been affected by
decay and a total of 93.1% of
all
people over the age of 60 have
had
teeth affected by tooth decay.
If brushing, flossing, massive
fluoridation campaigns, and
dental
surgery were effective in
preventing
tooth decay, it would not get
worse
over time. It would stay the
same, or
get better. This is what I refer
to as
an unscientifically sound
practice. If
we are to examine the effects of
our
dental care as a society, the
statistics
clearly show it is a failure, as
tooth
decay becomes worse and worse
over time. Either Nature is
fundamentally flawed and has
doomed us to a life that
includes
decaying teeth, or humans are
flawed
in understanding and utilizing
Nature.
The Current Tooth Decay Theory
is
Wrong
The current theory of tooth
decay
according to the American Dental
Association:
"[Tooth decay] occurs when foods
containing carbohydrates (sugars
and
starches) such as milk, pop,
raisins,
cakes or candy are frequently
left on
the teeth. Bacteria that live in
the
mouth thrive on these foods,
producing acids as a result.
Over a
period of time, these acids
destroy
tooth enamel, resulting in tooth
decay."
There are several problems with
this
theory.
#1) No matter how much you
brush,
it is impossible to keep your
mouth
free of bacteria — supposedly we
breathe in over 14,000 germs per
hour.
#2) Some groups of Indigenous
people who had fermentable
carbohydrates stuck on their
teeth all
of the time, without any
brushing or
flossing, were mostly or
entirely free
of tooth decay.
#3) Bacteria do not eat
processed
sugars because of the lack of
nutrients found in them. In
fact,
sugars are processed not only to
prevent spoilage, but also to
prevent
consumption by bacteria. It does
not
make sense that these
nutrient-void
sugars miraculously become food
for
bacteria once in your mouth.
#4) Bacteria does not eat
processed
flour for the same reason.
Processed
flours are designed to prevent
spoilage, and thus the minerals
(bacteria food) are removed.
Many
times, flours are even further
treated
to prevent bacteria from eating
them.
#5) Foods that bacteria like to
eat
include milk, vegetables, meat,
fish,
and fruit; these are not
commonly
attributed with being the causes
of
tooth decay.
#6) The large CDC survey
described
above shows that despite all of
our
prevention efforts, on average
about
90% of our population has had
tooth
decay at least one time. This
means
that even in the best case, our
preventative methods only work
for
10% of the people. Of course,
the
typical answer to this is that
those
90% of the people did not get
regular
dental visits, did not use
fluoride, and
did not brush their teeth often
enough. Unfortunately, this is
an
example of blaming the victim,
rather
than looking at the larger
problem.
People have not been given an
honest evaluation of what really
causes tooth decay, and so have
not
been empowered to act to stop
it.
What Really Causes Tooth Decay
After reading and studying the
work
of Weston Price, late Harvard
Professor Earnest Hooten said we
need to consider the habits and
ways
of the Indigenous people,
because "It
is store food that has given us
store
teeth."
Time and time again, Dr. Price
documented the tragic plight of
Indigenous people coming into
contact with modern
industrialization.
Many of these groups enjoyed
generation after generation of
life
without significant tooth decay.
But
after the arrival of industry
and
commerce, and with them modern
foods, their teeth began to
degenerate very rapidly.
Published data from food surveys
done by the United States
Department of Agriculture show
that
a significant portion of the
population
is under nourished. It should
not be
surprising why.
We eat junk food, processed
food,
denatured food, and
chemically-laden
foods. These foods lack the
special
fat-soluble vitamins which
Indigenous
people would, at times, go great
lengths to obtain.
That means if you want to be
healthy,
you need to take time and effort
to
pay attention to what you eat.
You
cannot just go to the local
convenience store and expect
that a
packaged food product is
designed to
give you optimal health. It is
important to reflect upon the
long
term consequences of each and
every bite of processed and
denatured food you eat.
Through blood tests, Dentist
Melvin
Page pinpointed the cause of
tooth
decay in modern people. When our
blood chemistry is out of
balance,
primarily from the consumption
of
processed foods (especially
sugars),
the ratio of calcium and
phosphorus
in our blood deviates from
normal.
When this happens, minerals are
pulled from the bones causing
tooth
and other bone loss. So, sugar
causes tooth decay because it
depletes nutrients from the
body, not
because bacteria eat it and
produce
acid. In order to restore the
ratio of
calcium and phosphorus in our
blood,
and to enable minerals to bond
unto
our teeth, it is usually not
sufficient
just to avoid eating too much
sweet
or processed foods. One must
also
eat health building foods,
containing
potent amounts of minerals and
vitamins to create a chain
reaction
that will build glassy hard
tooth
structure in place of decayed
tooth
structure.
Freedom From Tooth Decay
This is just an introduction to
how
you can be free of tooth decay,
and
avoid those pesky root canals.
Our
teeth can rebuild themselves,
and
cover themselves over with a
hard
and glassy layer, provided we
give
ourselves the right kind of
nutrition.
And what is the right kind of
nutrition?
First, it is fat-soluble
vitamins that are
present in plant and animal
foods
raised only in pristine harmony
with
nature. Fat-soluble vitamins are
vitamins A, D, E, and K from
whole
food sources. Grass-fed animal
foods (for vegetarians this
means cultured raw milk products
like clabber, yogurt, kefir,
whey, sour cream, raw cheese
and
butter Editor), wild fish
and shellfish
(particularly the organs) are
home to
these vitamins. You may know
from
nature videos that the king of
the
jungle prefers the organs over
the
flesh meat. And that great
powerful
bears sometimes only eat the
head,
or just the brain of the salmon
for
nourishment, leaving the rest
for
other animals. This is because
the
organs contain the vitamins that
make our bodies fit for life.
Fat-soluble vitamin E is stored
in the
germ of grains from wheat, rye,
barley and oats. But when we
process these grains, the
vitamin
quickly oxidizes and the grains
become rancid. Because store
food is
improperly processed, it is
nearly
impossible to find any product
made
with these grains that contains
the
whole vitamin. Even in organic
varieties, the most essential
nutrients
are lost because they are
improperly
prepared, and this results in
great
harm to our health and to that
of our
children.
We have tooth decay today
because
our food supply is so poor that
many
foods are lacking in the
fat-soluble
vitamins A, D, E, and K.
So, to begin to obtain freedom
from
tooth decay, your food sources
must
include the fat-soluble
vitamins. If
you eat grains, like wheat and
corn,
they must be freshly ground.
Grains
usually need to be fermented to
release trapped nutrients and
make
them digestible.
I used to eat what I thought was
a
healthy diet: organic fruits and
vegetables, organic grains, and
organic fish and chicken. Even
still, I
developed tooth decay because my
diet did not contain enough fat-
soluble vitamins, and it did not
contain enough bio-available
minerals.
For animal food eaters, we need
to
eat grass-fed raw milk, butter,
cream
and cheese made from cows that
eat
the rapidly-growing grass of the
spring and summer.
(For vegetarians cultured raw
milk products are the easiest to
digest. Editor)
Also, we need to eat moderate
amounts, with almost
every meal, of at least some of
the
organs of land and/or sea
animals, or
truly free-ranging chicken eggs.
The second mistake that can
contribute to tooth decay in
many
people is eating too many sweet
foods. Yes, natural sweets do
not
affect the blood sugar level as
adversely as processed sweets;
because of this they can easily
promote tooth decay. If you are
prone
to tooth decay, I suggest paying
attention to the amount of sweet
foods in your daily diet,
including the
use of carrots, bananas, dates,
honey, maple syrup, and any
other
type of fruit. Any sweet food
can
produce a change in our blood
sugar,
which can contribute to minerals
being pulled from our bones.
Living Without Tooth Decay
I wrote an entire book on how to
live
without tooth decay and how to
heal
your teeth with good nutrition.
I
cannot give you all the answers
in an
article, but I can let you know
that
there is a new way to promoting
healthy teeth.
I was diagnosed with three
cavities
two and a half years ago. But
through
regulating my diet, and eating
special
foods, my teeth have become
stronger and the cavities have
halted.
My daughter has lived with her
tooth
decay without the need for
dental
surgery for close to three years
now.
With enhanced nutrition her mood
has improved, and her teeth have
protected themselves internally
from
infection; this is called
arrested
decay. For me it is really
priceless to
be able to avoid Novocain shots,
radiation exposure from x-rays
and
having holes drilled in my
teeth. And
for my daughter, the savings for
me
as a parent, are really beyond
words
and explanation; I feel
eternally
grateful.
In our society we have deep and
unfelt beliefs in disease and
suffering. We believe that "life
is
suffering." Or some say that "to
be
human is to be in a state of
sin."
Many of us are not totally
conscious
of these beliefs, or others like
them,
so we inadvertently look past
answers staring us blatantly in
the
face. We promote systems such as
dental surgery and water
fluoridation,
which are many times not
necessary
given the light of knowledge
showing
us that our teeth are not
designed to
decay.
You can minimize your tooth
decay,
prevent it entirely, and even
heal
tooth decay once a cavity has
formed, if you make good choices
for
yourself based on the knowledge
of
the lifestyle led by decay-free
Indigenous people.
We continue to fool ourselves,
saying
that diseases are not curable.
But it is
time to move away from these
limiting beliefs. The cause of
tooth
decay is known, and knowable.
From
this knowledge, let us become
empowered to take more
responsibility for our dental
health.
