How to Heal Cavities Naturally

The world is slowly waking up to the fact that we 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 showing the true nature of tooth decay and the fact that there are proven remedies that can remedy it.

The Lies Perpetrated About Tooth Decay

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 bioavailable, 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.

Regular coffee can also deplete your body of minerals, so if you must drink coffee, choose healthier options that are not as detrimental to your inner ecology.

One highly beneficial way to remove those phytates from grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes is to soak them, which helps remove this harmful acid. This makes these foods not nearly as harmful to your intestinal system and your teeth.

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.

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.

If you do not consume animal products, focus on foods rich in minerals like fermented vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, and green leafy vegetables. Alternatively, you can also choose a good mineral supplement.

Also, make sure you get plenty of vitamin D, preferably from the sun (15-30 mins a day on arms and legs, depending on your location). In months where the sun is mostly absent or you can’t expose your body, take a liquid vitamin D3 supplement.

Limit foods that are high in phytic acid, like grains, beans, nuts and seeds (and soak them when you do consume), 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. • Gelatin – if you don’t have time to make bone broth, this is a good alternative and is great for gums and digestion.

What a healthy tooth structure depends on is a clean and properly functioning digestive system that properly assimilates a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. If you have dental cavity issues, it will be a result of poor diet that has ruined your inner ecology and doesn’t properly absorb the nutrients you do feed it.

Kids typically respond quicker due to less damage to their intestinal system, but adults can also heal cavities naturally with enough dedication to these principles, foods, and supplements, and a proper amount of time to heal the body.

If you currently have tooth and gum pain, and would like to take care of it while you implement the healing system for teeth, order this remarkable formula.
