How to Heal Cavities Naturally

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

There are quite a few problems with this theory, counting:

• Groups of indigenous people who had fermentable carbohydrates attached on their teeth all the time that didn't floss or brush were chiefly or entirely free of tooth decay.
• Bacteria don't use processed flour or sugar because of the lack of nutrients in them.
• Foods that bacteria prefer to eat, such as vegetables, milk, fish, meat and fruit, are not usually implicated in causes of tooth decay.

What actually causes tooth decay

Tooth decay, as studied by Dr. Weston Price and other dental pioneers, boiled down to 3 major factors:

• Lack of minerals in the diet.
• The absence of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) in the diet.
• Nutrients aren't being readily bioavailable, and your intestinal system isn't correctly absorbing them. The presence of phytic acid chiefly influences this factor.

Over a period of time, if your diet doesn't provide vitamins and minerals needed and/or carrying high levels of phytates (from seeds, grains, legumes, and nuts), the blood chemistry and the ratio of phosphorous and calcium become completely out of balance, which then results in minerals being pulled from bones, causing bone and tooth loss.

So, the long-standing belief that sugar generates tooth decay is so true, but as a result of it draining nutrients from the entire body, not because bacteria consume it and create acid that destroy your teeth.

The food remedies that can heal cavities and tooth decay

In order to repair the ratio of phosphorus and calcium in our blood, and to allow minerals to bond to our teeth, it's not sufficient to just avoid eating too many processed or sweet foods. We need also to eat health-building foods, including plentiful amounts of vitamins and minerals that will make a glassy hard tooth structure.

Foods to focus on are:

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

Limit foods that have high amounts of phytic acid, like beans, grains, seeds and nuts, as well as restricting processed food consumption loaded of processed sugars and flours that upset blood sugar balance.

Supplements to consider are:

• Fermented cod liver oil – particularly high in fat-soluble vitamins A, D and K.
• Magnesium – needed to utilize phosphorous and calcium adequately.
• Gelatin – if you do not have time to prepare bone broth, this is an excellent alternative and is goof for digestion and gums.

Now, go and get your pearly white smile back.
