tooth problems on raw food

[Guest guest]

I've heard/read a number of times that many raw fooders have had

tooth problems. I suspect this is from the eating of so many fruits

not naturally ripe. The tropical fruits we receive in the NW have

been picked so early, that they have more acid than if we were

picking them perfectly ripe from the tree. While eating mostly fruits

may be an ideal for our physiology/anatomy as humans, we are not

living in the ideal environment (tropics) and therefor do not get

ideal fruits. They may be very good at times, but may still be

acidic. It may also be that some of us do not consume enough minerals

in our diet, whether that be greens or otherwise. Or perhaps our

bodies, after decades of improper food, medications, toxins, etc.,

are not working efficiently enough to keep our teeth in ideal shape.

 

I believe if I was able to do an extended water fast and was able to

then do a week or more water fasting every year, that my body would

be better able to regenerate tissues, including enamel.

Dear Jeff

Many years ago I read an article in the Well Being Journal about

someone who had reversed tooth decay by just eating spouts. Also

Anne Wigmore had grey hair in her 50's, by her 80's it had all

returned to it's original black color. She cosumed saurkraut,

rejuvelac and spouts. This story was confirmed by Anrayleo who

worked with her.

 

When the Boutenco's first went raw and were touring around in their

van they made and ate a lot of sprouts and this may have helped

regenerate their son's tooth enamel. The trouble was that this was

translated into " every one on raw food will not experience tooth

decay. " A typical universalization of one person's experience that

so many raw fooders do.

 

I now believe that if my son had been eating a lot of sprouts for

the last 3 years his teeth may not be so bad, but just try to get

him to eat sprouts or saurkaut.
