About ten months ago I had my first dentist visit in twenty years. My teeth are pretty healthy and no new cavities were found. I have one mercury “silver” filling that I want out. I inquired my dentist about her opinion this filling and she nearly laughed when I told her that I believe that this filling is one of the contributing causes to my Candida yeast and Anxiety/OCD disorder. She said it was a small filling, it was secure and it “looked” pretty good. She said it was not worth taking out but she would do it if I asked her.

I then went to my doctor and inquired about my mercury levels. The test showed that I had mercury in my blood but not in amounts that would be a cause for concern. My Whole blood levels were 9 µg/L and the safe levels are  < 8.0 µg/L  and for occupational limit in exposed workers < 15.0 µg/L  (Source)

So my level is just above the safe level.

So here are my thoughts about mercury:

If health professionals don’t take mercury amalgam poisoning seriously then you need to find another health professional that does.

Why?

1. Mercury is toxic even in small amounts. It is the most toxic, non radioactive substance in the world. It is more toxic then lead.
2. Mercury passes the blood brain barrier.
3. Mercury is attracted to lipids (fats) and the brain has the highest concentration of lipids of any organ.
4. Mercury vapour from dental fillings is highly toxic

Watch this startling video on how brushing your teeth can lead to toxic overexposure to mercury just by the dental amalgam vapours. Even drinking hot beverages and soups can leach more mercury into your body then in an undisturbed amalgam. Any kind of stimulation will disturb the mercury to release vapours. Mercury vapours are then released for a minimum 1.5 hrs.

I will be having my fillings removed within the next couple of weeks. I found a holistic dentist that will do this work and I meet him on Sunday. (An odd day for business, but it is the first day of the week) I will meet with him to see if I feel comfortable with him doing such work in my mouth.

I will also start taking supplements to chelate mercury. The supplements include Iodine, Selenium, Cilantro, Chlorella, High dose vitamin C to bowel tolerance. That is a start for now and as I find more info I will add to this list.

I am so inspired with this testimonial by Ramiel Nagel and how he has healed dental cavities in his family. It is very similar to the one our family went through when we healed the teeth of my eldest daughter. Like us, the Ramiel also used the nutritional philosophies of Weston A. Price to promote healing.

The only way to heal is through strengthening the body with nutrition. Quick fixes to the dentist are just that – quick fixes. My philosophy is that if you mask a problem without healing the body it will show up in some other symptom. So overall you will just be medicating without true healing.

High Vitamin Diet To Cure Cavities

• A diet rich in fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) from organ meats, eggs, and raw milk or cheese (raw or lightly cooked)

• Eating bone marrow and cartilage

• Adding a mineral rich bone broth made from fish, chicken, beef, lamb or pig

• Reduce phytic Acid in grains and nuts by soaking, fermenting and sprouting them

• And heal the gut and improve vitamin availability by eating fermented foods.

Getting enough vitamin D is crucial and will help prevent many illnesses, strengthening the immune system as well as strengthening bones and teeth. A good 30-45 minutes of outdoor activities daily is recommended to get enough of this essential vitamin. The 400iu that is the RDA is not enough for optimal health. Dr. Mercola, Dr. Russel Blaylock and the Weston A. Price Foundation recommend 4000-10,000 IU.

I am forever grateful to the great dentist Weston Price for doing his meticulous work in documenting the food and the health of the people throughout the world. More people are learning about his great work and seeing results in healing cavities.

I share these videos with you as well as the book written by Ramiel Nagel called Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities With Nutrition. Just click through the link to the Amazon.com page or click through the image. You can visit his website at http://www.curetoothdecay.com/

My daughter was only 1.5 years old when she started to get cavities in her two front teeth. We were vegetarian/vegan at the time. The cavities resulted from a high carb diet rich in soy and refined
grain products. I was pretty devastated at time because all my effort was going towards raising her in a healthy way. However she was definitely not thriving. Her weight was low, she was pale, her teeth had big gaps in them and now her teeth were starting to rot. She was high needs as well and cried all the time. I was wondering how a child could be so miserable when there was nothing to be miserable about.

Childhood Dental Caries Can Be Healed!

I started looking into the dental caries and discovered traditional foods. Traditional foods are a foods prepared the way our ancestors have prepared foods in just recent history before the commercialization and industrialization that we know so well today. Traditional foods are prepared in such a manner as to get the most nutrition out of a particular food.

For example:

• Grains, nuts and seeds are sprouted or soaked to make them more digestible and to release and neutralize phytates that inhibits mineral absorption.
• Foods are preserved by fermenting which aids in the healing of the digestive system (sauerkraut, pickles, fermented salsa).
• Organ meats are a prized food and cherished for the nutritional value.
• Animals are fed food that they thrive on and allowed to pasture and eat insects which allow for their meat to have more nutritional value.
• Eating of raw animal products (meat, milk, egg etc.) Pasteurization and cooking of our food has killed many beneficial enzymes and denaturing proteins.
• Also the removal of fats has drastically decreased our absorption of fat soluble vitamins such as Vitamins A, D, E and K which are essential for immune, brain, bone and eye health. Low fat diets are dangerous because of this very fact.

Traditional fats are saturated fats. They are heat stable and don’t go rancid very easily and therefore they are the preferred fats to use for cooking. They also make food taste delicious and more nutritious!

So we took the soy and refined grains out of our diet and replaced them with traditional foods. This is what
healed the cavities!

We did not even use toothpaste on our daughters teeth for the first 3 years of her life. No fluoride either! Just pure nutrition.

To your health and wellness,

Sometimes it takes a health issue to turn our unhealthy habits around. About four weeks ago I got a seriously uncomfortable Candida reaction. Now I have had a systemic Candida problem for more than half my life – approximately sixteen years. Most of this time I had no idea what my problem was. I was vegetarian/vegan and was going through a young adult life, eating lots of white carbohydrates, sweets and alcohol. Before I new it my problem became systemic. I got pregnant with my first daughter, so the alcohol stopped but the carbohydrates didn’t. After my daughter was born, nursing was extremely painful. I was certain that she had thrush. My nipples were red sore and sometimes even bleeding. This is when I educated myself on candida. I cut out sugars, but since I was vegetarian I could not cut out carbs. My daughter showed sensitivity to milk and eggs so then we became vegan.

My daughter became sick and started to show signs of  dental decay. The doctor told us that my daughter at 18 months was classified as failure to thrive. That shocked me and I took it personally that I was being a bad parent. It put the fire under me and I started to do research on dental decay and nutrition. I found the Weston A. Price Foundation and the book that was written on Dr. Weston Price’s research called Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictorats by Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig Phd. This is the book that ended twelve years of vegetarianism. My daughter started on probiotics and yogurt and her milk and egg sensitivity went away. Her dental decay did not worsen and to this day she is almost six years old and has no cavities. This book teaches the importance of enzymes, beneficial bacteria, culturing and fermentation for the importance of digestion and nutrient assimilation.

I got pregnant again with my second daughter and had a blast working with this cookbook. However, I found out that I still had a very bad case of candida. Not to mention all of the sweet cravings that I was having and my hormones going wild. After the birth I did not have a reoccurance of thrush and I was very thankful. I did continue to follow the cookbook and its nutrition. But I could not get rid of the candida. I stay away from sugar and sweetners and the main sweet things I would eat was fruit.

So back to four weeks ago and my candida reacion… I have had enough! I cut out the only sweet things I eat. Fruit! I researched the Atkin’s diet a bit. I cut out sprouted breads, fruits, and grains. And it took a while but I am in the middle of a “yeast die-off” Not fun, but I have had my worst day and I am now on the road to healing. I know I can do this diet in combination with the Nourishing Traditions diet. I have no cravings at all for sweets or fruits. I feel SATISFIED after eating and I am not hungry.  Another big bonus is that I have lost 10 pounds in four weeks!

So I ask for help and advice.. How did you cure your Candida?
