Ok. Thanks to YHWH (!) and a combination of
Vitamins (Raw One for Men),
Fish Oil (365),
Amoxicillin (prescribed by dentist during preliminary exam),
Garlic or Cinnamon presses (against infected tooth),
Essential Oils tooth cleaner (Neem Seed, Tea Tree, Clove Bud, Peppermint, Oregano all mixed with organic, unrefined coconut oil),
LOTS of brushing (with that oil mix on a soft brush) and flossing, and
Vitamin D drops (as cholicalciferol) …
I’m out of pain right now.
That said, I’m still only 4 days away from the end of the amoxicillin and not started with “MMS” – which I hope will help with a number of things, soooo….
We shall see.
In the meantime, I’m convinced cavities can HEAL and that dentists have been lying to us for 90 years! Why do I say that? Because Dr. Weston Price, one of the original respectable (researching) dentists of the beginning of the 20th century, travelled the planet looking at various culture’s teeth and EATING HABITS (something modern dentists pay VERY little attention to, strangely), he discovered a universal diet that supports HEALING of cavities.
Not saying I’ll ahve the discipline to pull it off, but, for those interested in hearing what I’ve found out for myself (I’m NOT a dentist.. or ANY kind of doctor, so research at your own risk!), here it is -
If I were to design the ultimate dietary program to heal cavities that incorporates the successes of both doctors (Dr. Weston Price – founding member of ADA – and Dr. Edward Mellanby), it would look something like this:
Rich in animal foods such as meat, organs, fish, bone broths, full-fat pastured dairy (if tolerated) and eggs.
Fermented grains only; no unfermented grains such as oatmeal, breakfast cereal, crackers, etc. No breads except sourdough because they typically aren’t made from fresh flour.
No nuts; beans in moderation, only if they’re soaked overnight or longer in warm water (due to the phytic acid).
Starchy vegetables such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Moderate quantities of fruit, but no refined sweets.
Moderate quantities of well-cooked vegetables.
Sunlight, high-vitamin cod liver oil or vitamin D3 supplements.
Generous amounts of pastured butter.
No industrially processed food.
This diet would maximize mineral absorption while providing abundant fat-soluble vitamins. It probably isn’t necessary to follow it strictly. For example, if you eat more mineral-rich foods such as dairy and bone broths, you can probably get away with more phytic acid.
Factors that affect tooth healing are the same factors that affect tooth development:
The mineral content of the diet, particularly calcium and phosphorus
The fat-soluble vitamin content of the diet, chiefly vitamin D
The availability of minerals for absorption, determined largely by the diet’s phytic acid content (prevents mineral absorption)
Or you might be able to heal cavities eating like this for only one or two meals a day, as Dr. Price demonstrated.
