OT: avoiding oral surgery/tooth decay

[Guest guest]

I found that my gums improved a lt after I stopped using toothpaste and

started making my own tooth powder of baking soda, calcium carbonate and a

bit of mryyh powder. Even the Ayurvedic toothpaste Ihad been using contained

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which easts proteins such as our skin and gums.

The other big discovery for me was that I was missing a couple of key

nutrients imperative for good teeth. Reading Dr. Weston Price's classic

NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL DEGENERATION was a big eye opener. He was a dentist

from Cleveland who visited many indigenous people around the world and

studied the health of those still eating their traditional diet, compared to

those switching to modern diet. Then he did a dietary experiment with kids

back home in Clevland. Found that with improper nutrition no matter how

clean you keep your teeth there willl be decay because the saliva itself

pulls minerals out tof the teeth. With proper nutrition, the saliva changes

and actually can ADD minerals to areas that had previously started to decay.

Cultures thaat did not clean their teeth at all, but who had the proper

nutrients, had strong, healthy teeth.

Why this information has not become mainstream is a mystery. But the

facts are there.
