Smile! Your teeth are not designed to decay!

Your teeth are not designed to decay!

The world is slowly waking up to the fact that, when you give the body what it needs, it can heal things we previously thought were impossible. A fine example of what is often deemed as an incurable health problem is dental cavities, but extensive research is now becoming more public about the true nature of tooth decay and the fact that there are proven remedies that can remedy it.

 

According to the American Dental Association, the reason we have tooth decay is as follows:

“[Tooth decay] occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as milk, pop, raisins, cakes or candy are frequently left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result. Over a period of time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay.”

There are a few problems with this theory, including:

  • Groups of indigenous people who had fermentable carbohydrates stuck on their teeth all the time that did not brush or floss were mostly or completely free of tooth decay.
  • Bacteria do not consume processed sugar or flour because of the lack of nutrients in them.
  • Foods that bacteria like to eat, such as milk, vegetables, meat, fish and fruit, are not commonly implicated in causes of tooth decay.

So if the modern explanation of tooth decay is not accurate, what is actually the cause of tooth decay?

What actually causes tooth decay?

Tooth decay, as researched by Dr. Weston Price and other dental pioneers, boiled down to three factors:

  • Not enough minerals in the diet.
  • Not enough fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) in the diet.
  • Nutrients not being readily bio-available, and your intestinal system not properly absorbing them. The presence of phytic acid largely influences this factor.

Over a period of time, if your diet lacks vitamins and minerals from a poor diet and/or contains high levels of phytates (from grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes), the blood chemistry and the ratio of calcium and phosphorous become out of balance, which results in minerals being pulled from bones, causing tooth and bone loss.

So, the long-standing belief that sugar causes tooth decay is true, but as a result of it depleting nutrients from the body, not because bacteria eat it and produce acid that ruins your teeth.

 

In the drilling procedure conventional dentists will use a high speed drill, because it saves time, which drills as fast as 350,000 rotations per minute. High speed drilling creates high friction and raises the temperature of the tooth nerve causing irreversible nerve damage in 60% of cases. In addition, a negative vacuum pressure from the high speed shatters a portion of the fragile microscopic nutrient tubules within each tooth.

Once there is a large hole in your tooth something needs to be put in its place. Alzheimer’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, lupus, and some forms of arthritis all have one thing in common – mercury.

In 1845 the American Society of Dental Surgeons banned the use of mercury fillings because of health concerns.

Amalgam is an alloy of Mercury with various metals used for dental fillings. It commonly consists of Mercury 50%, Silver 22-32%, Tin 14%, Copper 8% and other trace metals.

Everyone knows that Mercury is a poison! Didn’t your parents tell you not to play with the mercury from the broken thermometer?

According to the EPA, our average exposure to elemental Mercury is 3 to 17mcg per day from Mercury amalgam fillings in our teeth.

 

It isn’t just mercury amalgams that are toxic. While less toxic, white composite fillings made up of ground glass and plastic still cause immune reactions on average in 50% of patients. One of the most popular composite fillings caused negative immune reactions in 90% of those who received them. Conventional dentists do not check filling compatibility with your body. Composites of plastic and glue can contain toxic chemicals like bisphenol A. Modern fillings last on average 5-12 years depending on the material. In the case of amalgam fillings even with all the extra drilling, only 25% will last 8 years or longer. While there are some good composites on the market, with such a short life span, the typical filling is not a long lasting solution for tooth decay.

So why are we letting the dentists put poison in our mouths. Are they helping to sustain the allopathic medical industry by creating dis-ease in people (poisoning them) or are they just not aware that the tooth is a living thing in the body that can heal itself with the right tools. If God created the perfect human body that should be able to heal itself, then why are we interfering with the healing processes designed by God? Eat the food God gave us not manufactured foods and perfect healing will take place.

The food remedies that can heal cavities and tooth decay

In order to restore the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in our blood, and to enable minerals to bond to our teeth, it is not enough to just avoid eating too many sweet or processed foods. We must also eat health-building foods, containing copious amounts of minerals and vitamins that will build a glassy hard tooth structure.

Foods to focus on are:

  • Coconut oil, grass-fed organic dairy (especially butter), grass-fed meats, seafood and bone broths.
  • Organic cooked vegetables (soups with bone broth are ideal).
  • Organ and gland meats, like liver.

Limit foods that are high in phytic acid, like grains, beans, nuts and seeds, as well as limiting processed food intake full of processed flours and sugars that upset blood sugar balance.

Supplements to consider are:

  • Fermented cod liver oil – very high in fat soluble vitamins A, D and K.
  • Magnesium – required to use calcium and phosphorous effectively.
  • Gelatine – if you don’t have time to make bone broth, this is a good alternative and is great for gums and digestion.

Now go get your pearly white smile back.

Why do we get sick?

Why do you get sick?Mack a choice

Your perfect operating system HUMAN-BODY 1.0 is not operating properly due to incorrect software that has resulted in the development of a virus or worm! If your daily updates are from the newspapers or TV (Mental) and junk apps (Food) and most of them are negative or bad news then your system will soon be taken over by the negative programming and stop operating efficiently, resulting in DIS-EASE

It is possible to think yourself sick!

Your mind is very powerful and can create anything that you think of.

Imagine you wake up and something goes wrong like standing on a small stone or stubbing your toe and you think to yourself “It’s going to be one of those days!” and what happens? You have one of those days when nothing goes right! You feel lousy and just want the day to be over.

Another day you wake up and someone smiles or waves at you and you say “It’s going to be a great day” and nothing can shake you that day. Even if you have huge problems but you deal with everything in your stride.

If you think back I am sure you all have experienced this but just not realised that you were the one creating your day.

If all you hear is negative things for a long time, eventually you will start being negative or thinking only the worst can happen. Dis-ease is not only caused by physical issues but also mental issues.

You have a choice to be and experience health or sickness. It is your choice!

You will never be healthy unless your Mind AND Body are healthy. This is what Holistic Healing is all about.

The biological terrain (HUMAN-BODY 1.0) was first described in the 19th century by French physiologist Dr. Claude Bernard. He proposed that most dis-ease is due to imbalances in the body’s interstitial cellular environment, which he referred to as the “Milieu Interior” or Biological Terrain. He stated that disturbances in this cellular environment affected the integrity of the body’s cells. This, in turn, compromised the body’s ability to maintain health and resist dis-ease.

Since the body comprises mostly water this includes the blood, lymph and the fluids inside of and between the cells. The terrain bathes the one hundred trillion cells in the human body and provides a nutrient-filled fluid matrix that allows essential nutrients to flow into the cells and waste products to flow out of the cells. This balanced exchange enables the cells to thrive, grow, reproduce, resist microbes and dis-ease and experience longevity. In essence, a cell living in a healthy terrain will thrive.

The state of the terrain is determined by four factors, namely:

  • its acid/alkaline balance; (OS)
  • its electric/magnetic charge; (Power supply)
  • its level of poisoning and (Games downloaded)
  • its nutritional status (including oxygenation). (Programs)

The condition of the terrain is absolutely central to the balance between health and dis-ease. We can easily understand the notion that unhealthy soil will yield unhealthy, dis-ease ridden plants, while healthy soil will produce strong, healthy plants. (Sh%T in Sh%T out)

The same concept applies when we look at the terrain of the body: if it is balanced it will promote health and if it is unbalanced it will lead to dis-ease. An unbalanced terrain disrupts the normal functions of the body:

  • the immune system is less active,
  • enzymes, hormones and other chemical messengers do not function properly,
  • the elimination of toxins is less effective,
  • prostaglandins and other pro-inflammation chemicals accumulate,
  • Digestion becomes inadequate, etc.

The body struggles to maintain balance through its many processes, but eventually fails when it reaches a tipping point, especially when there is a lack of proper nutrition.

The integrity of the biological terrain is most often compromised by poor lifestyle and dietary choices, such as:

  • excessive stress,
  • poor diet,
  • too little sleep,
  • certain drugs, alcohol, smoking, poisons, chemicals and
  • toxins in the air, food, water and environment.

Prolonged exposure to these factors can create deficiencies and excesses that will result in a compromised biological terrain that no longer supports health. This is the point when a variety of symptoms may begin depending on our individual susceptibility, types of toxins and deficiencies, such as

  • headaches,
  • recurring infections,
  • skin problems, etc.,

Most people then turn to chemical drugs to suppress the symptoms, like painkillers to numb the pain, cortisone creams, antihistamines, antibiotics, etc. These unnatural measures only fuel the fire by aggravating the levels of toxicity, acidity and the degree of disruption of normal functions. They give only temporary relief, while worsening the underlying imbalances that led to the development of the symptoms in the first place.

A large part of any natural treatments, for any given dis-ease, is focused on correcting the imbalances of the terrain. We maintain that if the terrain is healthy, the rest of the body will be healthy and resistant to dis-ease and infection. We strive to understand the question why some people stay healthy when exposed to contagious dis-eases, instead of labouring to identify a causative organism for a given infection and trying to kill it. Just like seeds will not germinate when thrown on tar, bacteria will not take hold in an unfavorable environment. Our aim is therefore to improve the condition of the terrain so that all functions in the body are optimal and harmonious and the terrain is unsuitable to infection and dis-ease. This is in sharp contrast to the disease-focused approach of modern medicine, based on the Germ Theory and pathophysiology. Prevention is better than a cure!

Each person is different and needs a personal plan tailored to their own body, mind and spirit, taking into account their hereditary and accumulated weaknesses and problems.
