dental pH & 3rd set

[Guest guest]

Hi Cindy and group,

I have read that when the body gets into pH balance, the " usual " dental

challenges that

plague the folks who eat the Standard American Diet are no longer an issue. AND,

that

often repairs happen such as holes fill back in with new enamel, and the

destructive

organisms that used to be there, morph to friendly organisms.

 

Certainly something to explore further and find out just how far the limits of

holistic

concepts around diets affect the health of the mouth.

 

For example, many indigenous tribes never brushed their teeth and seldom if ever

had

teeth problems clear up until death, and then when the " civilized " white man

introduced

the white flours, white sugars and white rices, these tribes began experiencing

the same

dental challenges that the " civilized " world does.

 

So thinking that its the particular toothpaste, or the toothbrush or the method

of which

way to brush and which dentist to use, which dental hygienist to use that have

the impact

on the teeth.... perhaps the bigger questions are what foods can I consume that

will give

me excellent teeth for the next 3 generations?

 

And then for those of us who grew up in families who have zero knowledge base

about

these things, our teeth are big challenge and its a matter of damage control to

the best

that we can figure out for the rest of our life it seems...

 

And then again, there is history of people dropping a tooth which no longer is

functioning

and grow new ones. A third set... which seems to me to be a more ideal solution

for those

of us who have teeth challenges from our childhood. At least something to

explore and

DO...

 

Sorta like the idea of fire walking. At one point if you'd told someone that you

were going

to walk barefoot on HOT coals, you'd been a looney... and now 20 years later

that is an

accepted workshop. So why not grow a 3rd set of teeth to replace the old ones

that are no

longer in optimum shape??

St:

 

 

What is your favorite form of dental hygeine? Just

water and a tooth brush?

Thanks Everyone!

Many Blessings,

Cindy Rothwell

Hi Steven,

When I had been eating raw for about a year a raw friend told me that

I wouldn't need to brush my teeth anymore or ever buy another tube of

toothpaste. I was delighted, but quickly saw that my teeth became

very yellow, my gums got sore, and when I used my toothbrush with no

toothpaste it became clogged with rotting food (even RAW food smells

bad when it rots). So I tried other options and noticed what

happened. Thus the tooth soap, which works for me more than I had

imagined it could. I still enjoy hearing about indigenous tribes and

their often amazing levels of health. But living with the realities

of urban life in 2006, with its many stresses and toxins, I find that

the cleaner my diet becomes the more I am affected by certain intense

chemicals (like those found in a dental office). Has anyone else

experienced this?

All the best,

Gael

Hi Gael,

I've been raw for just over three months now, and I am finding

myself more sensitive to chemicals than I was... I am also more

sensitive to noises and lights, and loud obnoxious noises or really

bright unnatural lights have started giving me a headache.
