In
light of the shaky economy, people are stressed about
spending - and under stress, many resort to poor eating
habits with diets high in sugar. But by changing dietary
routines, you can limit and avoid tooth fillings and costly
treatments like crowns and root canals, while bringing
more health and balance to your body.
Ramiel
Nagel began investigating the cause of tooth
decay after his one year old daughter developed a
brown spot on her tooth. Even while eating an all natural
and organic diet without any processed sweets, Nagel's
daughter's teeth rapidly began to disintegrate and decay.
Rather than subject her to costly and overly invasive
dental surgery, he chose to find a better way.
Through a successful cavities mineralizing program, reader
feedback and four years of painstaking trial and error,
Nagel's daughter was pain free with strong teeth by the
age of five. She was able to eat nuts and chew on ice
cubes, all without any chemicals or dental treatments.
Following the same program, Nagel healed four of his own
cavities and avoided the dental drill.
Nagel then authored "Cure Tooth Decay", a book
based on the pioneering dental work of dentists Weston
Price and Melvin Page.
He outlines six nutritional healing programs:
1.
The "best" mineralizing program for rapid tooth
healing and for severe cases.
2. Dr. Price's original
tooth mineralizing program that was over 95% effective
on even severe cases of tooth decay.
3. Dentist Melvin
Page's tooth healing program
4. The combined program,
utilizing the cumulative wisdom of the most effective
ways to stop cavities.
5. A vegetarian program
for vegetarians.
6. A tooth decay prevention
and mineralizing program for toddler's and children.
What's Wrong with The Modern Belief About Cavities
The
"modern" theory of dental disease suggests that
we have an almost total lack of power and responsibility
concerning this condition. This theory then allows people
to stay in their childish beliefs, which state that their
behaviors in life have little to do with the amount of
cavities in their teeth, or the state of their general
health for that matter.
The modern system of dentistry has falsely led us to believe
that tooth decay is caused by bacteria (identified as
Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus) and
that bacteria ingest foods in the mouth and produce acid,
thus causing the physical structure of teeth to erode.
This theory then aims to control bacterial growth in the
mouth as a treatment to prevent cavities. It can be summarized
as follows:
1.
You must brush your teeth all the time to eliminate these
dangerous bacteria.
2. You must rinse
your mouth with chemicals to eliminate more dangerous
bacteria.
3. You must floss
to eliminate the remaining bacteria and food particles.
4. When those three
tactics do not work, you must have the bacterial infestations
removed from your mouth by a dental drill, thus leaving
your mouth free of bacteria.
5. When a dental drill
cannot remove the bacteria and the bacterial growth progresses,
the tooth root can become infected, which then requires
a root canal filling. The solution to the infected tooth
root is to first remove the top of the tooth and then
clean the inside of the tooth with chemicals. Next, this
traumatized tooth is filled with a synthetic material,
leaving the inside of your tooth sterile.
6. Finally, when all
those procedures fail to keep your tooth alive, from the
supposed onslaught of bacterial invaders, the tooth must
be removed and a fake tooth or no tooth is what remains.
By
the time the sixth stage is reached, many people have
spent thousands of dollars on dental care. But no matter
how much money people spend on dentists and dental treatments,
the real cure for cavities still seems elusive. It appears
that not enough people have noticed that these methods
for treating teeth do not cure the problem. Modern treatments
do limit some pain and suffering, but if the basic cause
of tooth decay is not addressed, your teeth will continue
to decay. For the majority of us, there is another way
to halt, prevent and even remineralize decayed teeth.
Figure 1.0 shows the results of a large study of about
16,000 individuals. The study was conducted from 1999
to 2002, by a government agency in the United States.
The chart illustrates the progression of tooth decay as
we age. In fact, the statistics for people over the age
of 40 are dismal. On average, 45.89 per cent of all teeth
in this age group have been affected by decay. That average
represents nearly half the teeth in each person's mouth
that have been affected by decay. This only gets worse.
By the time the average person reaches 60 years of age,
62.36 percent of all their teeth have been affected by
decay.

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 of tooth decay over time.
Are
we to assume that over 90 per cent of the population is
not following the prescribed protocol or
is something
fundamentally wrong with this "modern" approach
to preventing and halting cavities?
Fluoridation
is not about "childrens teeth," it is
about industry getting rid of its hazardous waste at a
profit, instead of having to pay a fortune to dispose
of it.
Only calcium fluoride occurs naturally in water; and although
is not toxic, it offers no real health benefits. Regardless,
calcium fluoride has never been used for fluoridation.
Instead what is used over 90 percent of the time are silicofluorides,
which are 85 times more toxic than calcium fluoride. They
are non-biodegradable, hazardous waste products that come
straight from the pollution scrubbers of big industries.
If not dumped in the public water supplies, these silicofluorides
would have to be neutralized at the highest rated hazardous
waste facility at a cost of $1.40 per gallon (or more
depending on how much cadmium, lead, uranium and arsenic
are also present). Cities buy these unrefined pollutants
and dump them--lead, arsenic and all--into our water systems.
Silicofluorides are almost as toxic as arsenic, and more
toxic than lead.
The largest study of tooth decay in America (by the National
Institute of Dental Research in 1987) proved that there
was no significant difference in the decay rates of 39,000
fluoridated, partially fluoridated and non-fluoridated
children, ages 5 to 17, surveyed in 84 cities. The media
has never disclosed these facts.
Several recent studies show that fluoridation is correlated
with higher rather than lower rates of cavities. There
has been no study that shows any cost-saving by fluoridation.
In fact, dentists make 17 percent more profit in fluoridated
areas as opposed to non-fluoridated areas. Nagel suggests
that this is because fluoride is poisonous to the body.
The constant consumption of fluoridated water (poison
water) will over time, erode the strength of some of our
internal systems, because the organs are constantly being
deluged with poison. Our dental health is a reflection
of the internal chemistry and health of our organs and
glands. When our organs and glands are poisoned, they
won't work as well over time, and thus people will have
a lower immunity to cavities.
Meanwhile, the incidence of dental
fluorosis has skyrocketed. It is not just a "cosmetic
effect." Websters Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary
says: "Fluorosis is poisoning by fluorides."
Today, in North America, there is an increased prevalence
of dental fluorosis, ranging from about 15 percent to
65 percent in fluoridated areas and 5 percent to 40 percent
in non-fluoridated areas. The widespread and uncontrolled
use of fluoride in our water, dental products, foods and
beverages (grown and processed in fluoridated communities)
is causing pervasive over-exposure to fluoride.
Turn on the television and within minutes, you are likely
to hear about a newfangled vitamin-stuffed cereal. Tune
in the radio and discover that we now have fiber in convenience
foods. All of this stems from the well-established fact
that vitamins and minerals influence every cell, tissue,
organ and site in the human system. It figures, therefore,
that the mouth should also be part of the story. What
is the connection between nutrition and susceptibility
to oral disease?
The
findings of several investigations suggest that vitamin
C metabolism is directly correlated with plaque development.
Groups
who have demonstrated to have the poorest vitamin C levels
had the most plaque debris while groups with the best
vitamin C levels had the least accumulations. In other
words, this can be viewed as a demonstration of nonmechanical
brushing--an invisible toothbrush. In addition, poor digestion
of calcium and phosphorus metabolism may also play crucial
roles in the development of plaque.
Thus, although there does indeed appear to be a convincing
relationship between tooth cleansing (toothbrushing frequency)
and tooth cleanliness, diet may play the ultimate role
in determining the rate, if any, of tooth decay.
It is the missing vitamins in our diet that is the primary
cause of tooth cavities. Not a lack of fluoride tooth
brushing, or dental visits. By consuming whole and unrefined
foods, and not just vegetables, but foods not commonly
eaten today, such as liver, bone marrow, unpastuerized
milk and butter from grassfed cows, and more, we can reclaim
our natural ability to have health teeth and bones.
