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 have thought for years that I would be stuck using Sensodyne toothpaste for my extremely sensitive teeth. Whenever I have tried to switch toothpastes to a natural toothpaste, my teeth would start hurting within 2 days. They would hurt so much that even breathing air through my mouth would cause extreme pain. I was also sensitive to hot and cold foods and even walking would cause my teeth to feel like they would fall out. Weird, I know. Lately even with the use of Sensodyne, my teeth were hurting when I was eating my lacto-fermented Sauerkraut. I was even considering blending my kraut in a blender and drinking it with a straw.

Learning about Weston A. Price and his work I understand that many traditional cultures did not use toothpaste or even brushed their teeth. They ate a nutrient rich diet high in seafoods, organ meats, mineral rich broths, healthy saturated fats and properly prepared grains (soaked, sprouted or sour leavened). These traditional cultures had near perfect teeth (free of dental decay and perfectly aligned teeth)  without the help of toothpaste or braces.

I was stumbled across a “toothsoap” video that explains how toothpaste can inhibit remineralization. I was taken aback by the discovery that the glycerin in toothpaste can inhibit remineralization of the teeth.

My children are not regular users of toothpaste either. My oldest has used natural toothpaste on and off in her young life. But my youngest hates toothpaste and just brushes with water. Both girls have no cavities or decay. So I set aside my Sensodyne toothpaste and created my own with Coconut Oil.

Coconut Oil Toothpaste

1 teaspoon of coconut oil

1/8th teaspoon baking soda

2 drops of stevia

3-5 drops of peppermint oil

Mix all ingredients together and store in a small jar.

I have been using this toothpaste for 2 weeks. The coconut oil makes your mouth feel moisturized and your teeth very polished.

I have no sensitive teeth and I can eat my sauerkraut without pain!

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?
